Julie Corey Dec 17, 2024

Julie Corey had already had 5 children and had full custody of none of them. The 35 year old woman could feel the pressure of time, and was making one last chance to start a family, one that hopefully this time, she could keep. But sometimes, fate just has other plans.

Ramon Jay Rogers Dec 11, 2024

Ramon Jay Rogers was a nice guy. He grew up in a strange environment, but by all outward appearances he was well adjusted, polite, and well liked. Until he killed his best friend, and everything just seemed to spiral out of control.

Veronica Paz and Brandon Dante Perry Dec 04, 2024

From the outside, it appeared as if Veronica Paz desperately missed high school. She missed the social aspect, the drama, and most importantly… the boys. For his part, Brandon Perry would have probably done just about anything for his high school sweetheart, Veronica, and she was about to put that devotion to the test.

Almost Fiction Plus EP 4 Michael Duane Zach Oct 23, 2024

Some people are… magnetic, easily able to attach themselves to others, drawing them in with relative ease with their larger than life personalities.
There are just some people who can talk to anyone, make them feel at ease, quickly transitioning from stranger to acquaintance, to… friend.

Almost Fiction Plus EP 3 Tyree Lincoln Smith Oct 15, 2024

Rituals span across every country, every religion, and every group.
No matter what you are a part of, there are going to be rituals and practices that you follow, sometimes without even realizing it.
This week we follow the case of a man who wanted to perform an ancient ritual, one now banned in almost every civilized country.
This week we cover the story of Tyree Lincoln Smith.

Almost Fiction EP46 Catherine May Wood and Gwendolyn Gail Graham Part 1 Sep 03, 2024

Catherine May Wood was… an enigma. She constantly complained about how unfair her life was right before bragging about how she was in complete control, not only of her life, but also of the lives of those around her. She just couldn't seem to make up her mind claiming that she was both a victim, and a maestro, a tragic character beset by life, while also being the puppeteer controlling everything in her domain. Then, Gwendolyn Gail Graham entered into her life, and seemingly all hell broke loose.

Steven Ray Thacker Aug 20, 2024

Steven Ray Thacker is one of those enigmas. He was no stranger to the law, with most of his run-ins usually for nonviolent crimes, until one day he just snapped killing three different people over a 10 day period. So, why did he do it?

Robert R. Simon Aug 14, 2024

Robert Ronald Mudman Simon was a prototypical biker gang member not only in appearance but also in temperament. He really didn’t care about the world or those around him, unless they were in his gang. Human life was just not that important to him, and it showed.

Paul Eugene Rowles Jul 23, 2024

In the beginning it appeared as if Paul Eugene Rowles was an easy criminal to work with if there ever was such a thing.
Almost every time he was confronted about a crime he would quickly crumble and admit to it if he was in fact the man who had committed the act, but eventually that all changed.
Due to that fact we just can’t be sure exactly what he’s done, but what we do know is grim to say the least.

Gary Gene Tison Jul 03, 2024

Gary Gene Tison tried anything and everything to avoid punishment, no matter how small the issue.
He also had a family who stood by him no matter how ridiculous he became.
Those two facets combined caused one of the worst prison breaks in Arizona history.

Thomas William Rigterink Jun 26, 2024

Thomas William Rigterink was a former model turned killer who seemingly out of nowhere, committed a brutal attack, one that spilled over to innocents just trying to live their lives.
It’s a sobering testament to just how quickly our lives can change, especially when we least expect it.

Daniel Lee Siebert Jun 04, 2024

Daniel Lee Siebert becomes another name on our growing list of murderers who were let out of jail, only to kill again.
He also makes another growing list, the list of killers who for some reason had almost unbelievable luck, until… he didn’t.
As always, remember to rate and review so Almost Fiction can continue to grow.

Banita M. Jacks May 28, 2024

There’s really not much to say about this week's episode other than it was definitely one of the harder cases I have covered.

William Lester Suff Part 1 Jan 11, 2024

The Riverside Killer as he was known committed most of his crimes between June 1989 and December 1991… that we know of.
One of the most disgusting and prolific serial killers was pushed into the shadows not because of his gruesome crimes against sex workers and drug addicts, but because his trial started at almost the same time as OJ Simpson's.
So, join us this week as we look into the dark mind of a man who’s first foray into murder was when he killed his own child.

Sometimes though my thoughts and feelings do bleed through, but for the most part, I try to only stick to the story.
But, the more cases I cover, the more I research incidents and punishments, the more I find that the system seems to be broken.

We all know that someone or someone’s who lie on the internet. Sometimes it’s their photo, its either over edited, over filtered, or is a photo of themselves from 20 years or 20 pounds ago. Other times people lie about their lifestyle, appearing to have it all when in reality they are barely holding everything together. Then there are those who lie about their past. Where they’ve gone to school, the jobs they have, or… their criminal history.

This week we dive into a case that has very little in the way of information. The case itself is pretty cut and dry, there were only two victims, one of which survived. There was no trial, only a confession and a plea deal. But, there was also a journal, and the contents of that journal are more than some can handle. Welcome to Almost Fiction.

Imagine finding a crime scene. But, not just any crime scene, a murder scene. How long would that stay with you? How long until you’d be able to put it past you and move on. This week we learn about a killer who left his work out for everyone to see, a killer who didn’t care about his victims bodies being found, in fact, he probably enjoyed it. Don’t forget Almost Fiction will be at CrimeCon 2023 in Orlando, come out and say hi. I like it when they say…

Timothy Wayne Krajcir Aug 18, 2023

Some serial killers have no real excuses for being the way they are. Their childhood is relatively normal by most standards, and such is the case this week. So why did a young man who grew up in a middle class home decide to go off the rails? The answer might be there is no reason, and it also might be the scariest part.

When you hear the words, “attention seeker”, you probably have at least one person come straight to mind.
We all know, or have been around someone in our lives that will go to great lengths, create grand stories, just for attention.
For the most part we ignore them, brush them and their crazy tales aside.
But sometimes, we do so at our own risk.

Most journals are personal… logs to help us remember things that we might forget, how we felt at pivotal points in our lives, a record of where we’ve been and how far we’ve come. They can be used to catalog our thoughts and ideas, as reference for times when we need a reminder of our hopes and dreams. Usually these things are kept secret, hidden away from the world. But occasionally, these writings can give us insights, catalog and display to the world what has happened or is happening inside the mind… of a killer.

Based on real events, Almost Fiction is a Podcast where we try to imagine what it was like in the moments where some of the worst crimes occurred.
Using facts, reports, and evidence, we attempt to reconstruct what the crime scenes might have looked like as the crimes themselves were happening.
So, join us each week as we peek behind the curtain at some of the worst scenes from some of the worst crimes ever committed.
I’m Chase Ellerman, and welcome to… Almost Fiction.
