In this chilling episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale descends into the twisted world of Maury Travis, one of America’s most terrifying and methodical serial killers. Between 2000 and 2002, Travis abducted, tortured, and murdered multiple women in the St. Louis area—turning his suburban basement into a real-life dungeon of horrors. Using bondage equipment, surveillance cameras, and a homemade torture rack, Travis meticulously filmed his crimes, narrating them with haunting calmness. He taunted police with anonymous letters, maps, and chilling boasts of “more victims than he could count on his hands and feet.” His arrogance ultimately led to his capture, when a digital trail from a map he mailed to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch led authorities straight to him. Inside his home, investigators uncovered dozens of tapes, restraints, and trophies—evidence of sadism so profound, it remains one of the most disturbing crime scenes in Missouri history. Join Damien Vale as he unearths Travis’s descent into darkness, explores the investigative breakthroughs that ended his killing spree, and reflects on the unanswered questions that still haunt this case. How many women did Travis really kill? What do the unreleased tapes truly contain? And what drove a seemingly quiet hotel waiter to commit such unimaginable acts? This is not just a story about murder—it's about calculated evil, buried secrets, and the victims who deserve to be remembered. #MauryTravis #SerialKillerPodcast #AmongMonsters #TrueCrime #StLouisMurders #BasementKiller #TortureChamber #CannibalKiller #StLouisTrueCrime #FBIInvestigation #UnsolvedMurders #VictimAdvocacy #TrueCrimePodcast #DamienVale #MurderInMissouri #HorrorBasement #RealMonsters #TrueCrimeStory #JusticeForVictims #AmongMonstersPodcast See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
