In this chilling episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale explores the disturbing case of Dana Sue Gray, one of the few female serial killers in American history. Between February and March of 1994, Gray brutally murdered elderly women across Southern California — not for revenge or passion, but to steal their credit cards and go shopping. A former nurse with a dark past and mounting debts, Dana’s victims were chosen for their trust and vulnerability. After bludgeoning or strangling them, she casually hit local malls and boutiques, indulging in high-end purchases using her victims’ stolen identities. It was murder fueled by materialism — cold, calculated, and shockingly void of remorse. Damien Vale walks you through Gray’s troubled childhood, the brief killing spree that stunned Riverside County, the crucial witness who survived, and the surreal court case that followed. This is the story of a woman who blurred the lines between consumerism and carnage… and became a monster in pastel.
