In this haunting episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale investigates the disturbing case of George Waterfield Russell Jr., also known as The Charmer Killer. In the early 1990s, Seattle’s nightlife was haunted by a smooth-talking man who claimed to be everything from a police officer to a secret agent — but behind his well-dressed façade was a cold-blooded killer with a taste for ritual and dominance. Russell’s victims were intelligent, independent women — and after gaining their trust, he would sexually assault, murder, and grotesquely pose their bodies, transforming crime scenes into his own twisted exhibitions. With no signs of forced entry, staged bodies, and a killer who thrived on control and rejection, Russell terrorized the Pacific Northwest until a single piece of evidence cracked his polished persona. Join Damien Vale as he guides you through the methodical cruelty, theatrical crime scenes, and psychological unraveling of one of the most manipulative serial killers Seattle has ever known.
