Scale of Evil , Part 14: Buried Alive for Ransom

Imagine the horror of being kidnapped. Let that sink in for a moment.

Now, imagine the horror of being buried alive, in a box, underground—which is worse?

Now, imagine both.

Level 19 psychopath Gary S. Krist was responsible for the abduction and ransom of Barbara Mackle, daughter to real estate tycoon Robert Mackle, in 1968. He kidnapped her, buried her alive, and then demanded her father pay a half-million-dollar ransom for her safe return. But is Gary as evil as we think he is?

In this week’s episode, Professor Michael Drane explores the qualifications for a Level 19 psychopath based on Dr. Michael Stone’s Gradations of Evil Scale. This episode is reserved for our beloved stalkers of the podcast and is a continuation of our Scale of Evil series.

If you’d like to listen to the rest of this episode, head over to patreon.com/upcpodcast to become a stalker. You won’t regret it. ;)

Stay safe out there friends, and we hope you enjoy the show.
