Osama Bin Laden masterminded 9/11, evaded the world’s most powerful armies, and reshaped global politics. But who was he, really?

In this second episode of Psycho Killer: Shocking True Crime Stories, Simon Ford and Jacques Morrell go beyond the headlines to explore Bin Laden’s psychology — from fugitive years and obsessive micromanagement to the chilling revelations in the Abbottabad files.

Using the Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality (CAPP), we ask: Was Bin Laden a prophet, a prisoner of his own ideology, or a psychopath? We examine his messianic self-image, emotional detachment, and controlling dominance, alongside his death in Abbottabad and the fractured legacy of al-Qaeda and ISIS.

This is not just the story of one man, but of the world he made — and the fear, violence, and divisions that still echo today. Was Osama Bin Laden mad, bad, or something far more dangerous? Listen now and decide for yourself.
