Ericka ‘Boze’ Bozeman discusses true crime, female serial killers, and her rise to fame

Ericka ‘Boze’ Bozeman, once a Twitch gaming streamer, has become a leading voice in true crime with her podcast Sinister, which delves into the lives and crimes of female serial killers. Boze credits shows like Deadly Women and Snapped for inspiring her interest in women who commit violent crimes, a topic often overlooked in favor of male killers. “Female killers challenge societal expectations of women, and their crimes are brutally fascinating,” she explained.

Boze’s podcast has gained significant traction, amassing over 1.5 million followers across platforms. She attributes the genre's enduring appeal to humanity’s curiosity about life, death, and the psychology behind heinous acts. Despite the ethical debates surrounding true crime, Boze remains committed to thoughtful storytelling, often urging her audience to separate empathy for a killer’s troubled past from their monstrous actions as adults.

Her dedication to research has led to collaborations like her upcoming Dateline feature on the murder of Atlanta millionaire Lance Herndon. Boze described her work as a blend of passion and rigorous preparation, often producing dozens of pages of research per case. As she continues to expand her influence, Boze remains grateful to her audience for their unwavering support.
