Evansville, IN – October 31, 2024 — Old National Events Plaza is proud to present a new national tour, Serial Killers with Dr. Scott Bonn will visit Evansville this spring. The deliciously chilling evening with renowned criminologist and serial killer expert, Dr. Scott Bonn will take place in Aiken Theatre on Wednesday, April 9, 2025. Fans can pick up tickets and save 15% on select seats now through November 3 at 10 PM during the venue presale by using code HALLOWEEN on Ticketmaster.com.
Dr. Bonn is a producer, TV commentator, podcast host, public speaker and author of the best-selling popular culture book Why We Love Serial Killers: The Curious Appeal of the World’s Most Savage Murderers. He provides expert commentary and analysis for several high-profile true crime TV shows and documentaries on A&E, Discovery Network, Oxygen, Investigation Discovery and Travel Channel.
In this thrilling 90-minute show, Dr. Bonn reveals the insatiable, psychological hungers that drive the likes of Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer to kill repeatedly with impunity and no remorse. He explains why most serial killers are either psychopaths or sociopaths, how the two differ, and he reveals that every serial killer is compelled to murder by a unique fantasy need. He also explains how/why serial killers can successfully avoid apprehension, blend into a crowd and become invisible.
Dr. Bonn has interacted with notorious serial killers Dennis Rader (“Bind, Torture Kill”) and David Berkowitz (“Son of Sam”), often sharing shocking tales from his actual experiences with these murderers. He developed a profile of the unknown “Long Island Serial Killer” in 2011 that matches the alleged perpetrator, Rex Heuermann, perfectly. He shares the secrets of how he was able to predict the psychological and behavioral makeup of the Long Island Serial Killer with such incredible precision years before his capture.
Rather than employing a pop psychology or checklist approach to describe serial killers, Dr. Bonn relies on his direct interactions to explain that serial killers are psychologically complex, diverse and evolve from forces of both nature (biology) and nurture (environment). Simply put, Dr. Bonn takes his audience inside the minds of some of the world’s most terrifying killers from his own unique experiences rather than from a textbook.
In addition, Dr. Bonn explains our curious fascination with serial killers and true crime. Finally, you can ask anything you ever wanted to know about serial killers in a dynamic, live Q&A session with Dr. Bonn.
