Arthur Shawcross: The Genesee River Killer – From Convict to Carnage

In this gripping episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale uncovers the twisted, disturbing legacy of Arthur Shawcross — a man released from prison after killing children… only to become one of the most cold-blooded serial killers in upstate New York history. Known as The Genesee River Killer, Shawcross terrorized Rochester in the late 1980s, strangling and mutilating sex workers before leaving their bodies near water — like offerings to the cold currents of the Genesee. But what makes his story even more horrifying is what came before: a manslaughter conviction for killing two children… and a controversial early release that let the monster walk free. With vivid detail, psychological insight, and a narrative that blends historical facts with dark atmosphere, Damien Vale brings to life the story of a man who manipulated the justice system, slaughtered with precision, and left a trail of terror along the riverbanks of America. This isn’t just a serial killer story.
It’s a case study in failure… and a warning carved in the ice of the Genesee.
