Ep. 28 - The Giggler Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

Some people are simply born to creep the world out. Imagine the clown from It, except they're real.

"The Giggler" murdered four people over multiple years, and almost got away with it if not for his hero sister!

Let's Mourn.

Ep. 27 - The Kidnapping of Marion Parker Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

1920s in Los Angeles, twin sisters Marion and Marjorie Parker head off to school together. Eight hours later, only one of the 12-year-old sisters came home.

That day, a man posing as a family friend entered the school alone, and left with Marion. As their parents reel from shock, a series of telegrams and phone calls continue to muddy the already tearful waters.

Ep. 26 - The Beast of Harkstede Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

It's the early 70's in The Netherlands and women are going missing. Police were quick to arrest the culprit and bring him to "justice."

Years later the same justice system was very quick to release this man back into society. He would continue his murderous reign of terror and come to be known as The Beast of Harkstede.

Let's Mourn.

Ep. 24 - Sweden's First Serial Killer Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

SHOUTOUT SWEDEN!!

From Midsommar to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Sweden displays immense beauty against a backdrop of unknown horrors. When Anders Lindback became an ordained priest in the late 1800s in Sweden, I'm not sure if even HE knew the kind of monster that he would become.

Often overlooked by more notorious Swedish sociopaths such as Thomas Quick, aka Sture Bergwall, we mustn't forget about the priest who took advantage of his underprivileged parishioners.

Let's Mourn.

What happens when the police don't believe a serial killer's confession? Standing in front of the investigator's eyeballs from day one, this Australian serial killer preyed upon young school-age girls for over 5 years. Arnold Sodeman is among the worst 20th-century serial killers.

30 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, the serial killer known as the Gainesville Ripper tortured an entire college campus and community! Born of an abuser himself, Danny Rolling is the epitome of evil. Reminiscent of the recent University of Idaho murders, it is important to remember these young victims, even 3 decades later.

What were you doing in your early 20's? I sure hope you weren't following in the footsteps of German serial killer Klaus Gosmann. While most people his age studied away each night at University, Klaus led a double life only few could imagine... Cold-blooded killer, or the most unlucky thief who ever lived? Let's Mourn.
