One move can alter the course of an entire legal process. On December 27th 2000 a man pleaded innocent in a trial that allowed for the search of the suspect’s computer. A move that revealed a whole new level of the case and likely changed the way the jury saw the accused.

The Death of A Blues Muse - December 25 2022 Dec 25, 2022

Show notes

December 25th: Delia Green Killed (1900)
There is nothing more dangerous than an embarrassed man. It’s a saying heard time and time again and one that has become very familiar amongst women. On December 25th 1900 a young girl, so young she was barely a teenager, lost her life at the hands of a boy whom she embarrassed. A girl whose story, though changed overtime, became the subject of many a song.

The Santa Strangler - December 24 2022 Dec 24, 2022

Show notes

December 24th: Lois Petrie Killed (1972)
Just because someone looks like a kindly stranger, doesn’t mean that they are safe. On December 24th 1972 a woman was seen for what would be the last time. A woman whose life was tragically ended by a man who just so happened to look like jolly old St. Nicholas but, in reality, was about to start a deadly career in serial killing.

Show notes

December 23rd: Maoupa Cedric Maake Arrested (1997)
When a killer changes up their MO, it’s hard for police to track each and every single one of their victims. On December 23rd 1997 a man was arrested for crimes that, as far as the police were concerned, were being committed by at least two different serial killers.

The Drunken Confessions of a Serial Killer - December 21 2022 Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

December 21st: Peter Kudzinowski Dies (1929)
One usually takes the words of a drunk person at face value. Forgetting that, sometimes, the slurred words can be those secret truths they are scared to utter while sober. On December 21st 1929 a man was executed for the crimes he drunkenly confessed to, not once but twice.
