Everyone keeps recycling this story, it was originally done by the Atavist magazine, it is an incredibly rivetting read.

My understanding is that it's the same journalist who wrote that story/book being interviewed in the podcast (Evan Ratliff). Either way, the Atavist piece is a great read and very nicely presented

It is - he's on a press tour for his book Mastermind which I just started and is good so far

There is also a competing book that just came out called Hunting LeRoux:
https://www.amazon.com/Hunting-LeRoux-Inside-Takedown-Crimin...
It is being developed into a film by Michael Mann
Based on reviews and my reading so far Mastermind from OP author seems like the real deal

As aosaigh said, it's the same author interviewed on the podcast. In addition to the Atavist magazine's publication, his book came out a few weeks ago.
I had never heard of the story before, and now I can't wait for biopic :-)
