10 Disturbing Facts About Mindhunter's Serial Killers
1. Jerry Brudos Found High Heels And Women's Underwear VERY Young
We see Jerry Brudos in season one of Mindhunter and it's one of the first times we see Holden use tactics to coerce someone into spilling the beans, so to speak.
Holden has picked up on Brudos' strange fascination for high heels and essentially gifts him a pair in order to get him talking. Although Mindhunter does have creative license with the storylines, this link to Brudos is entirely true.
In fact, it is widely known that Brudos did, in fact, have a huge fetish for high heels and women's underwear from a very early age. Brudos allegedly wore his first pair of high heels as young as five, when it is thought his mum found him wearing the shoes and humiliated him.
He was also fond of stealing underwear from neighbours and would frequently pinch pairs of knickers for his own wear and pleasure.
It's hardly surprising, then, that Brudos' victims were all females. In one particular case, he even went as far as to cut off the foot off his victim so he could keep it to display his collection of high heels on. Truly disturbing.
