Miyuki Ishikawa: the Demon Midwife

Serial Napper | True Crime Stories for Naps ·

2020/09/25

We’re taking this story to Tokyo, where I’m currently living, to talk about Miyuki Ishikawa, also known as the demon midwife. Miyuki is believed to have murdered as few as 103 infants with the aid of several accomplices throughout the 1940s. This makes her one of the most prolific serial killers of all time, however, the story of who she was, what she did and why, is much different than your average serial killer. Stay tuned.

Shane Schindler: The Mannequin Killer

2020/05/13

This true crime story is technically solved, but I would say that justice most certainly has not been served.

Shane Schindler pleaded guilty to attempted murder for an attack on a mannequin. But, read about who his real victims were.Support the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter -
