Jack Unterweger: The Killer Who Wrote His Way Out of Prison

In this chilling episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale exposes the twisted tale of Jack Unterweger, the Austrian killer who manipulated the justice system, the media, and an entire nation. Convicted in 1974 for strangling a young woman with her own bra, Unterweger became a prison poet and literary sensation — earning his early release by convincing the world he was reformed. But freedom only fueled his dark desires. Once celebrated as a redemption story, Unterweger resumed his killing spree across Austria, Prague, and even Los Angeles — strangling sex workers across continents with the same signature brutality. All the while, he attended book launches, gave TV interviews, and even joined police on ride-alongs investigating crimes he committed. This is the story of a monster in disguise — and the victims left in the wake of a world that wanted to believe a killer could change.
