Get your tickets for “Serial Killers: The Experience” on August 15th at 7PM at the Tapped Apple. This two hour show is entertaining, educational, and mind-blowing. It explores the reality of American Serial Killers, including who they are, what they do, and why they carry out the crimes they commit. I take the audience on a deep dive into a specific serial killer case, and I also interview a serial killer live over the phone, which allows the audience to interview the serial killer themselves.
As the show presenter, Phil Chalmers is a criminal profiler, true crime writer, and one of the leading law enforcement trainers in the United States. He has been interviewing violent offenders for four decades, including notorious killers like Charles Manson, The Son of Sam, BTK, The Hillside Strangler, The Gainesville Ripper, The Warwick Slasher, The Smiley Face Killer, and The Southside Slayer.
