About This Episode
Scott Kimball murdered four people in Colorado between 2003 and 2004 — while listed as an active FBI informant. Episode 9 of the podcast series Between The Madness, available on Podimo as part of The Minds of Madness, examines one of the most troubling institutional stories in American true crime: a man who used his protected status to evade suspicion while committing brutal crimes against people close to him.
A Man Living a Double Life
To the outside world, Kimball presented himself as a functioning member of society — socially connected, outwardly stable. Behind that facade, he operated with extreme cold-bloodedness. He manipulated those around him and exploited the implicit credibility that came with his association. The episode details how Kimball gradually built a position that allowed him to act without interference — and how the very people who should have caught him instead became an unintentional shield.
