Now available on YouTube: The very first Benjamin Atkins TV doc

It just dropped on YouTube six days ago, and it's already got 63,000 views and lots of interesting comments. And the comments are in keeping with those on other podcasts about the case in recent years on YouTube, podcasts that reiterated newspaper details but didn't present new content like this new television documentary from the "World's Most Evil Killers" series ... people who learn about this case are conflicted. They realize that Benjamin ("Tony") Atkins was a horrific serial killer who moved very fast on the streets of Detroit and Highland Park, Michigan, in 1991 and 1992, killing at least 11 women in a timeframe as little as six months. Yes, that's horrific. But they also acknowledge how the sad facts of his upbringing may have contributed to "cooking" this killer. How society is wired wrong in so many ways. They don't know whether or not to feel sorry for him. Yes, this case draws a very conflicted response. 

I posted a month ago when this "WMEK" episode was released in the United States, after debuting in its native UK late last year. That was on a few streaming platforms, but now it's spread open worldwide, for anyone to see, on YouTube ...


So watch this exploration of the Atkins case -- again, the first TV doc ever done on the case -- and let me know what you think. And if you've read my book, below, or would like to, let me know what you think of that, too.
