Death X Southwest: True Crime

Latest Episodes:

BONUS: Morning Walk n' Talk Dec 10, 2024

Show notes

Today’s episode is a little treat for everyyyone (okay, NOT for those who hate the life rambles)—usually, these rambling morning walk-and-talk episodes are reserved for my Patreon crew, but I figured, why not share the chaos with everyone?

Recorded during yesterday and this morning’s dog walks (because one day of rambling just isn’t enough), I cover everything from my latest TikTok ideas, to the DXSW Cocktail Hour on Saturday, and even some walking etiquette lessons for those oh-so-special people who think the dirt roads are made just for them🙄.

It’s unfiltered, it’s random, it’s a little slice of my life—and as always, thanks for indulging me in this weird and wonderful experiment of a podcast.

Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🌵🩷

Episode 87 | Sinister Shores: A Spring Break Nightmare, Part Two Nov 27, 2024

Show notes

AGAIN, AMAZINGLY this Part Two begins with very little chit-chat and rambling (okay like 5 minutes of rambling but NOT much!)— and then we dive right into Part Two of the chilling and tragic story of Mark Kilroy.

Mark was a bright, young college student heading off to spring break in 1989, ready for sunshine, adventure, and making some unforgettable memories with his childhood friends! What he found instead was a nightmare beyond anything you can imagine.

This story delves into a shocking abduction, an unspeakable crime, and takes a terrifying look at what happens when pure evil crosses your path.

Part Two brings this haunting story to a close and hopefully, in the future, will make you think twice about trusting strangers in paradise.

Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🌵🩷

BONUS: TURKEY TALK, RANCH SHENANIGANS, and MY HAIR DEBACLE (WITH MARK) Nov 26, 2024

Show notes

It’s bonus episode time, and this week I’m joined by the one and only Mark for a pre-Thanksgiving feast of randomness and ridiculousness. Before we dive into our epic games of Stuffing or Bluffing (yes, that’s a real thing) and Guess the Thanksgiving Dish, we’ve got plenty of juicy side dishes (aka: conversation detours) to serve up.

We’re talking my latest hair disaster, Mark’s deeply relevant recounting of his trip to Scotland a decade ago, and the details of his and Michael’s ranch escapades last night. Plus, some news about meeting up for a DXSW cocktail hour…and plenty of other random topics!

Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and join us for this stuffed-to-the-brim bonus episode! 🎙️🍗

Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🌵🩷

Episode 86 | Sinister Shores: A Spring Break Nightmare, Part One Nov 21, 2024

Show notes

AMAZINGLY this episode begins with NO chit-chat, NO rambling—we dive right in with an old-school DXSW Sense of Place, setting the scene of South Padre Island and Matamoros, Mexico, to transport you right into the heart of this haunting tale!

From there, it’s straight into Part One (yes, it’s a two-parter, but I promise—it’s worth it!) of the chilling and tragic story of Mark Kilroy.

Mark was a bright, young college student heading off to spring break in 1989, ready for sunshine, adventure, and making some unforgettable memories with his childhood friends! What he found instead was a nightmare beyond anything you can imagine.

BONUS EPISODE: From Brotherhood to Bloodshed - The Caneiro Case Nov 19, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to a Tuesday Bonus Episode!! Today, I spend the first 18 minutes chatting about this morning's uplifting recording session with Jim—it was just what I needed after the funk I was in last night. Funny how a good conversation can flip your mood, right? I sprinkle in a few other thoughts that have been swirling around my head, so stay tuned for some candid musings.

But then, we're diving into a Thanksgiving story that's as chilling as it is tragic—the story of brothers, best friends, and business partners - Paul and Keith Caneiro. Imagine this: It's Thanksgiving, a day meant for gratitude and family, but for the Caneiro brothers, it became a nightmare that shook their entire community. Secrets, betrayal, and a crime that left everyone asking, "How could this happen?" Trust me, you won't want to miss this deep dive into a case that's as perplexing as it is heartbreaking.

Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🌵🩷

Episode 85 | Selling Lies and Taking Lives: The Chilling Case of Todd Kohlhepp Nov 14, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, we kick things off with a 15-minute catch-up where I dive into a disgruntled email from a former fan that I couldn’t resist sharing. Afterward, I spill my thoughts on the ongoing Menendez Brothers hoopla, along with a few other random odds and ends.

Then, we turn to the chilling case of Todd Kohlhepp—a man whose double life as a successful real estate agent and cold-blooded killer is almost beyond belief. From the late 1980s to the early 2000s, Kohlhepp left a trail of terror, preying on innocent victims in crimes that shocked communities and left investigators scrambling for answers. We’ll walk through each twisted detail of his crimes, from his early offenses to the haunting final days of his victims, all while exploring what could drive someone to lead such a dark double life.

Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🌵🩷

BONUS | Cough Syrup & Chaos: A Very Accidental Hour of Life Ramblings Nov 13, 2024

Show notes

Alright, friends. Today’s episode was supposed to be a quick 10-minute “I’m alive, don’t worry” update. But, of course, here we are an hour later, wandering through the twisted maze that is my brain (on a little too much cough syrup😬). Turns out, I accidentally went on a journey of deep pondering (or was it rambling?) about relationships, friendships, and family, while feeling… let’s just say, not my best.

But wait! The real treat? A handful of absolutely delightful voice messages from one of our listeners in Belgium, whose life is WAY more fascinating than mine🐘. So, while there’s no true crime in this episode, there’s plenty of personal chaos, musings, and meandering thoughts, seasoned with some light existential confusion.

Join me for an hour of unplanned exploration—and a much-needed reminder to keep the cough syrup doses a bit lower next time.😂

BONUS EPISODE | 11.11 RAMBLINGS & OVERSHARING GALORE Nov 12, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to a bonus episode where true crime is left on read, and it's just you, me, and a whole lot of wonderfully irrelevant details. I’m talking weekend adventures, my BFF’s enviable escape to Belize (I'll just be here…trying not to be jealous), our iconic family room sleepover, and, FINALLY, I dive into some listener DMs. Expect everything from the most random musings to overshares that absolutely no one asked for but everyone might just need.

Happy 11.11, friends – where it’s all just good vibes, no murder (today).

Episode 84: Forbidden Affairs and Fatal Consequences (with special co-host, Jackie!) Nov 05, 2024

Show notes

Get ready for a jam-packed episode as I’m joined by my best friend of 22 years, Jackie, who’s here to co-host and catch up with me on everything from the hilariously mundane to the strangely profound. For the first 30 minutes, since this is Jackie’s first time on a podcast (yay!) we get all warmed up by chatting about our friendship, sharing some memories, and diving into all the quirky odds and ends that make our friendship so special (to us, haha!).

Then, we switch gears to a murder case that feels ripped straight out of a true-crime soap opera. It’s the shocking story of Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan—a devastating tale with all the juicy twists: a Brazilian au pair, a fetish website, an illicit affair, and, ultimately, a double murder that will leave you wondering if you’re listening to real life or a dark thriller. This episode is full of friendship, laughter, and plenty of true crime twists and turns!

Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🌵🩷
