315: She Was Set On Fire & Put Her Killer Away From Beyond The Grave Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

On August 2, 2015, Judy Malinowski was set on fire by her boyfriend, Michael Slager. Doctors at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center believed she wouldn't survive the night, but Judy defied all odds. She lived for nearly two years after the arson attack and ultimately made history. Judy helped start her own foundation for victims of violent crimes like herself, and became the first homicide victim to give sworn testimony at her own murder trial.

313: Every Time This Nurse Was On Shift, Someone's Heart Stopped... Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

On October 30th, 2018, the largest criminal trial in modern German history opened at the Weser-Ems-Hallen ballroom. Nurse Niels Högel, a prolific “Angel of Death,” stood accused of at least 100 murders. Early on in his career, he became addicted to inducing cardiac arrest so he could heroically rescue patients, leading to countless deaths. Niels had already stood in court three times at this point, but it seemed detectives were stuck in a horrifying maze, with new cases appearing around every corner after each trial. The true number of victims is still unknown to this day.

308: The Couple Behind Germany’s Most Terrifying House of Horrors Aug 17, 2026

Show notes

Over the course of 17 years, Wilfried and Angelika Wagener deliberately tortured several women in cruel and unusual ways, leading to the destruction of their livelihoods and the deaths of two. They were finally caught when they were driving the final victim home, and their car broke down, leading the taxi driver to call an ambulance to save her. The subsequent trial revealed years of abuse that exceeded the court’s expectations. It exposed institutional failures that let Wilfried go unmonitored after being put in jail for tormenting his first wife. This lack of surveillance led to Wilfried and Angelika continuing to torture other women in the most sadistic ways imaginable.
