October 4, 2017: A Delve into Character
By this point, investigations were being held as records were searched for any evidence that could have hinted at this side of Madsen’s character. While both his and Kim Wall’s phone had been lost at sea, investigators were able to recreate some of his recent searches that were rather incriminating.
Additionally, Madsen’s computer was found with videos of women being tortured, decapitated, and killed, hinting at a fascination with such dark topics. Further evidence came to light of him attending fetish parties and having a darker and more violent side to his personality that was often forgiven because of his charisma.
