American Monster Richard Chase, known as the “Vampire of Sacramento,” stood apart even in the twisted world of serial killers. From a young age, he was gripped by powerful delusions.

American Outlaws: The Barefoot Bandit Aug 09, 2024

Show notes

In the shadowy corners of the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington State, Colton Harris-Moore emerged not merely as a troubled teenager but as a captivating figure who danced on the edge of legality. He became infamous as the "Barefoot Bandit," a moniker earned from his habit of executing crimes shoeless. Harris-Moore's crimes weren't petty acts of vandalism but a spree that captured the nation's imagination and law enforcement's frustration. His escapades included stealing cars, boats, and even airplanes—an improbable feat for someone with no formal training. His ability to evade capture became legendary, turning him into a media sensation and earning him a legion of online admirers who viewed him as a modern-day folk hero. But not everyone was enamored. Critics pointed to the trail of victims left in his wake, each one facing the reality of lost property and violated privacy. The debate raged: Was he a Robin Hood figure or simply a criminal? One thing is for sure. Colt was just a kid. Find out more on the thrilling second episode of Kina Murdery's 7th Season!

Gentleman, Cad, Card Shark: The Mysterious Death of Joe Bowne Elwell Jun 07, 2024

Show notes

Pushing the door open, Marie's eyes were met with a scene she would never forget. There, slumped in his chair, was Joseph Bowne Elwell. His usually composed demeanor was replaced by a haunting stillness. A single bullet wound, precise and deadly, marred the center of his forehead. Blood had pooled around the wound, seeping into the intricate patterns of the Persian rug below. The room was eerily quiet, the silence only broken by the faint tick of the grandfather clock in the corner. The ornate decorations and lavish furnishings seemed out of place with the stark reality of the violent act that had taken place. Marie Larsen stood frozen, her mind racing to comprehend the horror before her. Joseph Bowne Elwell was no ordinary man. At forty-four, he had climbed the social ladder, amassing a fortune that would make most men green with envy. With just his sharp mind, impeccable taste, and the gentlemanly manners his mother instilled in him, he built an empire. By the time the bullet found its mark, Elwell owned $500,000 in real estate, $100,000 in personal property, a stable of twenty thoroughbreds racing at Latonia, a yacht in Palm Beach for the winter, five automobiles, and a swanky house on 70th Street. So who killed the famous bridge expert and playboy? Did anyone?
