Axe Murderer Christopher Porco Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

Today's case is one of those stories that sounds more like a movie than real life once you hear the details.One morning in November 2004, court clerk Peter Porco stumbled out of bed and went about his morning routine like usual. As he picked up a newspaper and ate his breakfast, he seemed to be completely unaware of the fact that he had been savagely attacked a few hours earlier… and his wife Joan was still in bed, clinging to life. Peter had almost gotten ready to the point of leaving for work.
It was not until his co-workers began to worry as Peter did not show up to work that the gruesome scene inside the Porco home was revealed. Peter - now dead… while his wife Joan was found upstairs, barely alive. Both had been hit in the head multiple times with an ax.
Before Joan was rushed into the hospital, a detective was able to question her and get the name of the suspect:
Christopher Porco, the couple's 21-year-old son.
Soon enough, the investigation began to reveal disturbing details of Christopher's life and the insidious web of lies he had weaved to take advantage of his own parents.
However, when the only witness to the crime, Joan Porco, woke up from a coma, she changed her story. According to her, Christopher was innocent. But in the end, was the mother's love enough to save the son from conviction?

Easter Sunday Massacre Feb 03, 2022

Show notes

Let's think about a scenario: you have been looking for a new home, and finally, after a long search, you are closing on buying your dream house. But while you are waiting for the paperwork to go through, somebody comes and asks you:
"Do you know what happened in that house?"
You don't, so you go to Google, and the search results tell you a horrible story. Eleven family members were brutally murdered inside your future home on one Easter Sunday.
Would you still move in?
That is the question Cinnamon Baker had to ask herself when she was buying the house at 635 Minor Avenue, Hamilton, Ohio in 2008. Her boyfriend's co-worker asked about a man named James Ruppert and when the couple looked him up, what they found was not pretty.

Mark Twitchell the Dexter Killer Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

If you are familiar with the TV show 'Dexter,' you already know where we are heading with today's story. But for those unaware, the series is about a serial killer who hunts other killers while working as a blood splatter analyst for Miami Metro Police Department. Dexter puts up signature kill rooms designed not to leave any evidence and dumps his victims' dismembered bodies in plastic bags to sea.
One guy, named Mark Twitchell, took a little bit too much inspiration from his favorite TV show and tried to do what Dexter did. But with one big difference—his victims were innocent.

Susan Smith Jan 13, 2022

Show notes

In 1994, a 23-year-old South Carolina mother, Susan Smith, reported to police that her two young sons had been kidnapped during a carjacking. Authorities immediately began searching for three-year-old Michael and one-year-old Alex, while the seemingly devastated mother appeared on television pleading for the safe return of her children.
Finally, after more than a week of an intensive but fruitless investigation, there was a break in the case— but not the kind everyone had been hoping for. What really had happened to those two little boys, only their own mother was able to tell. And the truth was shocking.

The Unsolved Murder of Barry and Honey Jan 11, 2022

Show notes

Back in 2017, on December 15 to be specific, Canadian businessman and philanthropist Barry Sherman and his wife Honey were not expected to be at home. The couple had recently put their 12,000-square-foot mansion in Toronto up for sale, and it was an open house day.
As agreed, soon after 10 AM that morning, the real estate agent Elise Stern began showing potential buyers around the house. After the two upper floors, it was time for the basement, where some of the best luxury features of the home, a lap pool and hot tub, were located.
But as Elise opened a locked glass door at the end of the hallway and took a couple of steps towards the pool, she abruptly stopped. The scene in front of her made Elise immediately turn on her heel, luckily quickly enough to stop her clients from seeing what she had just witnessed.
There, hanging from a metal railing of the lap pool, side by side were bodies of Barry and Honey Sherman.

From Shoemaker To Serial Killer Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

When it comes to a father-son relationship, we can all agree that a mutual hobby is an excellent way to bond. Some like to spend time together at sports events, others working on their cars. Or, like in the case of Joseph Kallinger and his son Michael—pick up their guns and go hunting.
There is nothing unusual of an American father taking his son out into the woods. In addition to bonding, hunting embodies many life lessons and principles to live by. However, for the Kallingers, the experience meant something completely different. They were not after common game animals. No, they were hunting humans.
