April 18th: Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt Convicted (2008)
Not every killer gives off bad vibes. In fact, some are downright unsuspecting and, because of that, are able to quite literally get away with murder. On April 18th 2008 the last two women many would have suspected of a heinous crime were convicted for the murders of 2 men.

The Horrors of Solitary Confinement - April 17 2023 Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

April 17th: Brent Miller Dies (Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox)(1974)
Sometimes people who make waves have targets placed on their backs. On April 17th 1972 a young man was brutally slain and two men with targets on their back were placed in solitary confinement for the crime. A place they would remain for decades while many fought to prove their innocence.

The Facebook Killer - April 16 2023 Apr 16, 2023

Show notes

April 16th: Robert Godwin Killed (2017)
There are some cases that take forever to find. Cases where a body isn’t located for days or the crime isn’t revealed until the killer is long gone. Today’s story is the complete opposite of that. On April 16th 2017 an elderly man was gunned down and his murder was put on Facebook for all to see.

The Hobby Killer - April 15 2023 Apr 15, 2023

April 15th: Korean father Charged with Murdering His Son (2014)
Today’s story has very little in the way of details. That doesn’t, however, mean the story is any less shocking. On April 15th 2014 a man was charged with the murder of his own son. A case that has many pointing the finger at, not just the killer, but his chosen hobby.

The Body on the Beach - April 14 2023 Apr 14, 2023

Show notes

April 14th: First of Kerry Babies Found(1984)
Personal perception by the investigators shouldn’t shape the way a case is investigated. They should do their best to remain unbiased. On April 14th 1984 the body of a newborn baby boy was found on an Ireland beach and launched, not only a completely biased investigation, but public outrage at the way investigators acted and how they let their own opinions completely alter the course of one woman’s life.

With a victim count in the double digits, one would think there was a plethora of details about a case. On April 13th 1993 a dangerous man was arrested and, though we know little about his crimes when compared to other cases, his victim count was well into the double digits.
