In this episode of the Bloody Angola podcast, Jim Chapman and Woody Overton discuss Jon Barry Simonis, known as the ski mask rapist. Simonis confessed to 81 rapes nationwide and was linked to over 130 attacks in a 12-state crime spree between 1978 and 1981. Simonis's crimes led to the formation of the FBI's profiling task force. The FBI created a detailed profile of Simonis, including his physical description, behavior patterns, and tendencies, which matched his characteristics accurately.

Simonis meticulously planned his crimes, evolving from burglary to sexual assaults and violence over time. He displayed domineering behavior, sought control and power over his victims, and enjoyed inflicting fear and pain. Simonis detailed his criminal activities in an interview with FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood, revealing his methods, motivations, and deviant fantasies. He admitted to escalating violence, seeking high-risk situations, and deriving satisfaction from dominating and terrorizing women.

Simonis's intelligence, manipulative tactics, and strategic approach to his crimes revealed a disturbing insight into the mind of a serial rapist. The episode delves into Simonis's twisted psyche, his predatory behaviors, and his unrepentant attitude towards his heinous acts. Despite Simonis's eventual capture and lifelong imprisonment at bloody Angola prison, his chilling confessions shed light on the dark and sinister world of a prolific sexual predator.
