Addicted to Murder
We are addicted to learning about murderers, the same way they were addicted to murder. Cortney (left) and Tricia (right) are friends, coworkers, and true crime enthusiasts who each bring their own perspectives to the table.
Tricia brings her experiences working in the forensic medical field (NCMA) and her current work towards her Master's in forensic psychology program knowledge. Cortney brings her education, a Master's in Mental Health Counseling while working towards her PhD, and 10 + years of experience working as a therapist. Together they are hoping to explore the intimate psychology and developmental factors that led some people to become serial killers.
