505: The Grindr Killer Scandal: A Faking It Special

About this episode

The episode discusses the case of Stephen Port, who killed four gay men and evaded capture despite clear evidence against him.

Over the course sixteen months, 39-year-old Stephen Port killed four gay men in his East London home... and DESPITE BEING A TOTAL IDIOT... completely got away with it. All four men looked nearly identical and seem to have died exactly the same way, AND TWO OF THE BODIES WERE FOUND IN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT. Yet the cops saw no connection between the cases. Meanwhile, PORT WAS BASICALLY GIVING HIMSELF UP AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY. And still, the cops insisted these men died of self induced drug overdoses. BECAUSE GAY.
