37. The West Mesa Murders Part 3 Featuring Todd Kohlhepp - Tastes Like Multiple Persons Of Interest Jul 31, 2018

Show notes

Melissa wraps up her examination of the West Mesa Murders in Albuquerque with a closer look at the multiplicity of possible persons of interest in the case - and not just the most obvious ones. Along the way, Melissa introduces us to the story of creepy genius murderer Todd Kohlhepp - who, while not the most likely culprit in the New Mexico slayings, demonstrates the potential of how any number of nasty rat bastards could have buried all those bodies out on the mesa.

36. GSK Update And West Mesa Murders Part 2 - Tastes Like Tragedy Jul 24, 2018

Show notes

First things first - an update on a couple of new newzbitz on the Golden State Killer prosecution and things we're learning about people and events on the periphery of the investigation (boffo stuff!). And then Melissa continues her look into the still-unsolved West Mesa Murders in Albuquerque with profiles of each of the known victims in the case and their stories. With the case still unsolved, and with so much uncertainty over the "Lost Girls" still classified as missing from the period of time the known murders took place, this case screams out for any new leads - and logic tells us there's SOMEONE - maybe more than one person - out there who has information. If that person is you, please speak up - we're listening.

34. The West Mesa Murders Part 1 - Tastes Like Bones Jul 17, 2018

Show notes

Melissa takes a first look at the West Mesa Murders in Albuquerque - murders that happened over a long stretch of time but were not discovered until a mass grave was discovered on the mesa outside of town in 2009. An incredibly frustrating case - especially for the families of the "Lost Girls" who went missing in the years before the discovery of the bones on the mesa - the majority of whom are still missing and who (for all the authorities know) may be buried in other mass graves. To add to the crushing pain of the families of the victims - one of the key suspects is now deceased - and the other isn't talking. This one is truly in need of Tip-Sters who can help solve a mystery that deserves resolution.

33. Tastes Like Homicide Pie And A Bad Movie - The Murder Of Adrienne Shelly Jul 10, 2018

Show notes

In a delicious mix of serious storytelling, film reviewing and humor, Melissa cuts loose on bad screenwriting AND awful murder as she looks at the life, career and death of writer/director/producer/actor Adrienne Shelly - who was murdered in her New York City office apartment in 2006, just when things were just starting to hit the bigtime for her. Her indy film "Waitress" had just been named to debut at the upcoming Sundance Film Festival when she was killed, and the film has gone on since to become somewhat iconic - it's even become a Broadway musical. But...really...why? As Melissa points out with brilliantly honest humor, "Waitress" just...isn't...very...good... Interweaving the tale of Shelly's senseless death with a devastating film review, this can only be described as something like Roger Ebert at the Morgue. Simultaneously compelling, brilliant, sad and hilarious, as only Melissa can convey.

32. The Golden State Killer Part 5? - Tastes Like A Familiar Crime Scene - GSK and Patricia Neufeld? Jul 03, 2018

Show notes

Those question marks in the title of this episode are there for a reason - because a real mystery is evolving regarding the unsolved 1978 murder of Patricia Neufeld in Garden Grove, California. Originally attributed to a different mass murderer - who to this day denies Neufeld was "one of his" victims, a fresh look at the case reveals haunting similarities between the Orange County housewife's homicide and the M.O. of you-know-who (that would be the Golden State Killer for those of you just tuning in). Bolstered with some striking - and blind - input from two respected psychic detectives, the facts of this despicable crime take on a whole new light. Join Melissa as she shines it brightly on what might be one of GSK's earliest horrors.

31. Tastes Like Not A Very G'Day Mate - The Evil Sprees of Christopher Wilder Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

Nearly killed at birth. Nearly drowned as a toddler. Australian transplant to America, where he becomes a rich South Florida playboy. Stone cold sexual predator. One of the deadliest spree killers in U.S. history. As Melissa explains in this episode, all of those descriptions apply to Christopher Wilder, who in less than three months in early 1984 wrote the swansong to his scabrous 39-year life by abducting and raping (at least) 12 women, killing (at least) 8 of them over a six-week cross-country murder binge that didn't end until...well let's not spoil the ending. Suffice it to say that nothing about the story of "The Beauty Queen Killer," as Wilder was dubbed by the American press, is anything close to beautiful.

30. The Golden State Killer Part 4 - Tastes Like No Plea And A S***load Of Evidence Jun 19, 2018

Show notes

It's been less than two months since the arrest of Joseph James DeAngelo, the alleged Golden State Killer - but WOW has new information been pouring out about the case ever since. In this episode, Melissa goes through the search warrant served on the accused and the indictment - including new previously unpublicized allegations of creepy doings that are hard to believe (but, well, not that hard to believe). PLUS - a social media comment dialogue unearths a chilling, daring and ultimately hopeful confession from a would-be serial killer who has lived his entire adult life battling his demons. An absolutely compelling virtual conversation between Melissa and a man who found the courage to bring his darkness into the light.

29. Tastes Like A Hit Man Hired From A Yelp Review - The Mary Morris Murders Jun 12, 2018

Show notes

One of the most frustrating cold cases in America comes to Melissa straight out of Houston Texas, where in late 2000 two completely unrelated women who happened to share the same exact first and last names were killed just four days apart. Could the first Mary Morris have been killed in a completely coincidental car fire? Could a serial killer be on the loose who hates the word combo "Mary + Morris?" Or is it more likely that the two murders were the result of a bizarre comedy/tragedy of errors? And could this be an instance of someone bungling so much of his murderous plan that he came out smelling like a rose? Spend a little bit of your day with Melissa as she uncorks one hell of a fizzy bottle of unsolved True Crime that maybe - just maybe - YOU - or some other brilliant Tip-Ster can help solve!

28. Tastes Like Life Imitated Art Imitating Life - John List and Ed Sherman and BLACKOUT Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

A blast from Melissa's college days turns into a rollercoaster ride of Murder-to-Movie- to-Murder! A recollection of a movie from 1985 called "Blackout" - released when Melissa was still in college - pops in to her memory banks as she looks into the 1971 case of John List, who murdered his wife, children and mother in the most macabre way and went on the lam for nearly two decades before "America's Most Wanted" finally smoked him out. Was "Blackout" based on the List murders? You decide! BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Not long after the made-for-HBO "Blackout" was released into video stores, another murder with INCREDIBLY SIMILAR facts popped up in the investigation of Ed Sherman in Connecticut. Could one TV movie be the fulcrum in two different murders 14 years apart? Melissa thinks so. What about you?
