The Toolshed Monster Sep 09, 2024

Show notes

This is one of the most incredible stories I have ever covered with an ending that sadly, we don't usually see here in the true crime community. When Ethan Walton and Amanda Burney went to sell a piece of land to Glen Gouker they had no way of knowing they were walking into a trap. Ethan is attacked and Amanda is captured and assaulted. This story could easily be a horror film. When Amanda is tied up in a bedroom, she finds a way to free herself and she makes one of the most daring escape attempts I've ever heard of. There are several heroes in this story and several victims. It's a tragic tale of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could happen to any one of us.

The Murder of Ashley Young Sep 04, 2024

Show notes

I don't know why this brutal and gruesome crime hasn't received more attention. Ashley Young was a beautiful young woman entering a new chapter of her life. Unfortunately for her, she was in the midst of a monster named Jared Chance. They were just starting to see each other as more than friends when they went out for a drink one night. Ashley was never seen again. Her tenacious mother and step mother go on a two woman crusade to find Ashley and it doesn't take them long to find her...but what has been done to her is unthinkable.

Most Evil Father Sep 02, 2024

Show notes

There is a shocking update to this old case. Bradford Bishop had it all; an important job with the State Department, three beautiful sons and a beautiful wife, and a nice home. He spoke five languages, he could fly a plane, and he'd lived all over the world. But when he doesn't get the promotion he desperately wants and needs, something snapped inside Brad Bishop...or maybe his plans had been a long time coming. He leaves work angry and humiliated and drives to the local mall where he buys a sledge hammer and a gas can. He then goes home and commits an unthinkable crime.

National Forest Serial Killer, Gary Hilton Aug 28, 2024

Show notes

Someone is abducting and murdering hikers on the Appalachian Trail. He's not just killing them, he's decapitating them. Police catch a suspect and as they begin to look into his past, they realize, his history of killing goes much farther back in time than they originally suspected. Gary Hilton is a vile, evil man who did unthinkable things to people who were just out trying to enjoy nature. He is one of the worst, yet not one of the better known killers. He has some very strange personal quirks. He also has a very strange MO for a serial killer.

This story is strange. The crime is strange, the murder scene is strange, even the victim's profession is strange. This is a story about a wild night of partying gone wrong but the question is...who is to blame for the death of Dr. Marianne Shockley, one of the world's foremost experts on insects but specifically, insects as a source of food. Her playboy boyfriend Marcus and a friend of his, Dr. Clark Heindl, psychologist spent the night in the hot tub and the pool with Marianne and then....TWO people ended up dead. In a story of strange elements, the verdict might be the most shocking.

The White Salamander Letter *Podcast Exclusive* Aug 19, 2024

Show notes

*Podcast Exclusive* The powerful Mormon Church finds out a rare documents collector has uncovered something that makes Joseph Smith, the church's founder look very, very bad. The document, which comes to be known as The White Salamander Letter appears to be a letter from Martin Harris, Joseph Smith's right hand man, to WW Phelps in which Harris tells Phelps that Joseph did not get the golden plates from an angel, but from a talking lizard. What people do not know, is that the Mormon Church leaders have even buying documents for years. Anything that shines an unflattering light on early church history is purchased and secreted away by powerful leaders. The problem? The documents are all fake and the forger, Mark Hofmann, is in a lot of trouble and he knows it. So he decides to create a diversion. Bombs start going off throughout Salt Lake City and people are dying. And then, Mark himself is blown up.

The Killer Gigolo Aug 14, 2024

Show notes

I've got a wild story for you today. There is a Las Vegas escort service for women called Cowboys for Angels. You may have seen this escort service featured on the now cancelled Showtime TV series simply called, Gigolos. The service is still active but there is one profile that is glaring absent from the choice of gigolos for hire, that of Ash Armand. Ash Armand joined Cowboys for Angels and quickly became the most sought after gigolo in Las Vegas. The TV show only made him more famous. Then he started dating a very well known Las Vegas influencer name Toochi Kash. Things were going great for Ash Armand who billed himself as a sexual guru with a spiritual side. But then, everything began to change. Ash finds himself in a very dark place, fired from his agency and dumped by his girlfriend. He decides to return to his roots, once again becoming a "spiritual guru." A very nice young woman named Herleen Dulai hires Ash to help guide her through a difficult time in her life. She had no way of knowing that decision would instead end her life.

Brooklyn Body Snatcher Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

I have a ghoulish tale for you today. Michael Mastromarino was a successful oral surgeon but he got addicted to demerol and lost his license. He had to find a new way to make money. Grave robbing went out of fashion a hundred years ago but the demand for human corpses is now higher than ever. Michael knew, he could use his skills to harvest bone and tissue and sell it to the highest bidder. Before long, he was making millions and the greed took over. He and his team began employing more and more unethical, illegal, and disturbing tactics to get a hold of the bone and tissue that was making them so much money. It all came tumbling down when one of the funeral homes was sold and the new owners could not believe what they found in the basement of their new business.
