19:43Now PlayingJarrett Ferentino spent 20 years prosecuting the most brutal cases in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Serial killers. Baby homicides. Cases that stay with you long after the verdict.
In this episode he sits down with two former NYPD detectives to talk about what that work actually costs — and why he kept doing it anyway.
Including the case of Hugo Selenski — a serial killer who escaped from prison on bedsheets and turned himself back in three days later. And the Brittany Drexel case — a missing college student whose mother never gave up, and the killer who told Ferentino: "I was a monster then, and I'm still a monster."
Jarrett Ferentino is the author of Mother's Murders and Motivation — available on Amazon now.
