Influencers Who Kill: A True Crime Collection

By Madison Salters

From TikTok to YouTube, OnlyFans to Instagram, sink into nine bone-chilling stories of influencers who resorted to murder… or tried to.

Thousands of followers. Rapt audiences. Splashy photos and videos that rack up millions of views, crowning the popular few who beat the algorithm “Online Influencers.” But what happens when the next reel on the slideshow of someone’s life… is death?

Accidental or premeditated? In some cases, only you can decide. This book features 10 fascinating cases, including:

Yuka Takaoka, Japanese bar hostess who stabbed her flirty host boyfriend
Nasim Aghdam, YouTube Headquarters shooter
Snow the Salt Queen, cosplay shooter who maintains her innocence
David Katz, sports video game tournament shooter
Samantha Wohlford, Mommy vlogger who tripped over her own lies in the interrogation room
Randy Stair, supermarket shooter who produced—and dated—cartoons
Trey Sesler, “Mr. Anime,” who murdered his family
Pekka-Eric Auvinen, admirer of violence who carried out one of Finland’s few school shootings
Abagail White, OnlyFans talent who bullied and killed her husband

Influencers Who Kill will look behind the internet handles and the painted masks and dive into the minds and motives of serial killers and would-be murderers who bloodied their hands with the spotlight trained on them.
