本集讲述了澳大利亚连环杀手威廉·麦克唐纳（William MacDonald），绰号“切割者”（The Mutilator）的罪行。麦克唐纳童年经历特殊，曾遭受性侵犯，并被诊断患有精神分裂症。他成年后公开承认同性恋身份，在社会上遭受歧视和排斥，这加剧了他的心理问题和暴力倾向。麦克唐纳的作案目标多为无家可归或社会地位低下的男性，作案手段极其残忍，对受害者进行多次刺杀并肢解尸体，其作案特征是切除受害者的生殖器。他的第一次谋杀案受害者Amos Hurst的死因被伪装成心脏病发作，这让他更加肆无忌惮。在悉尼，他先后杀害了Alfred Reginald Greenfield和William Cobbin，并因此获得“切割者”的称号。警方虽然全力追捕，但麦克唐纳狡猾地隐藏证据，使得案件侦破困难重重。麦克唐纳的犯罪动机复杂，既有对过去创伤的报复，也有对自身性取向和社会地位不满的宣泄。他的案例反映了社会歧视和心理疾病对个人行为的影响，也警示了社会对弱势群体的关注和保护。

Shownotes Transcript

A homicidal maniac was prowling the streets. The killer would attack unsuspecting victims in dark alleys and other places out of view of streetlamps and violently stab them to death. Then he would mutilate the corpse in abhorrent ways. Like so many other serial killers, this one preyed on the weak and defenseless. Homeless and down and out men were being targeted and no one could figure out why. The killer left each victim with a calling card, and a signature. Each body left in his wake had their genitals removed.
