The true-crime genre often fixates on the “why” – the twisted motivations behind heinous acts. But sometimes, the most unsettling aspect isn’t the motive itself, but the sheer banality of evil. This Sunday’s “Signs of a Psychopath” offers a chilling look at a case where the horror lies not just in the crime, but in the unsettling ordinariness of the perpetrator.
The episode, titled “It’s Called Closure,” centers on the baffling disappearance of a mother, her two children, and a friend from a seemingly quiet Ohio town. As investigators dig deeper, they uncover a disturbing trail of clues pointing to a prime suspect with a hidden, sinister life. What begins as a missing person’s case quickly morphs into something far more disturbing as detectives unearth a house of horrors connected to the suspect.
“It’s Called Closure” airs Sunday, February 23, 2025, at 10:30 PM ET on Investigation Discovery.
