#128: Honoring the Victims of a Serial Killer

Laura Richards and Lisa Zambetti interview Melissa Moore, the daughter of Keith Jespersen, whose terrible moniker was “The Happy Face Killer”. 

He murdered at least 8 women during the early 1990s and at least one victim, Daun, survived.

We ask difficult questions of Melissa about her life: what was going on behind closed doors; were there any warning signs that he was a danger to women and girls, and highlight the lessons to be learned.

We re-balance the narrative by talking about the victims, honouring their names and lives, remembering them and learning from their deaths:
