Season 3 Episode 5 Arthur John Shawcross Narcissism 101 Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

Tony points out that all the killers that he deals with are sociopaths and narcissistic, but Arthur John Shawcross is without a doubt the most arrogant killer that I’ve ever dealt with over the past 16 years.
Tony and Al share several of the stories that Arthur wrote about in his letters that show his extreme narcissistic tendencies.
Shawcross answers some of Tony’s questions about eating human flesh among other atrocities that he committed.
The episode ends with Shawcross writing an exact narration of how he murdered his first Rochester victim Dorothy Blackburn. It is both graphic and disgusting.

Season 3 Episode 4 Slipping Through The Cracks Of Justice: “Consequences” Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

Tony is going to start with the Murders of Jack Blake and Karen Hill.Something Art never would discuss with anyone.
Shawcross writes a very sarcastic letter to Tony and describes a ridiculous account of what happened to the two children, and warns Tony to never to ask about it again.
In response Tony basically tells Art to go screw himself.
Arthur actually apologizes and in his next letter and gives a detailed description of how June Cicero was murdered.
Tony and Al discuss how Plea Bargains are abused and why Art should not have ever been released.
This is a fascinating description of what happened to Shawcross when he was released and what he did during this time.
Another rally good poem that Shawcross wrote about Vietnam is covered.

Season 3 Episode 3 “Growing Up In The House Of Sin” The Making Of A Serial Killer Part Two “Vietnam” Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

In this Episode Tony will cover some excerpts from Arthur’s book describing his time in Vietnam.
You will also hear more actual conversation with Art describing certain things that happened while he was in “Vietnam”
After listening to the atrocities that Art both witnessed and committed in Vietnam, and think about how he was raised, you’ll understand why Tony and Al believe that his is a classic case of nurturing a monster.
Art’s stories become a text book example of Narcissism 101.
Tony close’s with a letter from Art dated April 19th, 2007. It’s the first time he heard that Shawcross was writing a book for him about his early years and Vietnam.
Art obviously agrees that his book could have been titled “The Making of a Serial Killer”
Art says “I know there are reasons for the way I turned out, and I believe a lot had to do with my early years.” “I’m not making excuses for what I did or what I became, I’m just trying to make sense out of all of it.”

Season 3 Episode 2 “Growing Up In The House Of Sin” The Making Of A Serial Killer Part One “Incest” Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

The story you are about to hear is taken from Art’s personal book that he wrote for Tony; “Growing Up In The House of Sin” or as we like to call it “The Making of a Serial Killer.”

This story is a classic case of nurturing, a primer, if you will, on how to create one fucked up child and turn him into an animal.
Art’s family and then the military did one hell of a job creating the monster that Arthur John Shawcross became.Then they turned him loose to walk among us. This is the story of his road to hell, as told by Shawcross himself.
The information we’re going to present today is uncomfortable. It's a subject that is both uncomfortable to talk about and uncomfortable to hear. We’re talking about incest, incest between a mother and son and incest between a brother and his sisters.
This is the shocking story of Art Shawcross’ childhood as told by him. These are the building blocks of who he was to become as they began to be assembled at an early age.

Season 3 Episode 1 Getting To Know Arthur Shawcross Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

Tony’s first mailing went out to over 40 killers all over the country, and the very first letter that came in was from Arthur John Shawcross, Alias “The Genesee River Killer”

Tony only knew Art for approximately 2 years, but during that short period he opened himself up in ways Tony never imagined. This season Tony will share the story exactly as Shawcross told it. Here’s a small sample of what Tony will share this season:

Art wrote a detailed account of his Early Years and his time in Vietnam. (84 pages) titled “Growing Up in the House Of Sin” It could easily have been titled “The Making of a Serial Killer”.
Art sent Over 100 Letters in less than two years detailing Prison life, his personal attitudes about other prisoners, woman, pen pals, collectors, his personal recipes, sex, and murder.
Art sent Tony a handwritten letter from The Manhunter himself FBI profiler John Douglas along with his business card that he had sent to Art. Tony will share a letter Art sent to him with a letter he received from Keith Jesperson the Happy Face Killer. He calls him a fucking maggot!
Shawcross agreed to describe his killings. Art said he had been asked many times but always said no. He describes in detail each murder.
Phone conversations that have never been heard by anyone but the family. The calls will give you an idea of his narcissism and views on people and life in general.
Tony and Al’s descriptions of the prison visits they had with Arthur
Personal Writings, poetry and Art work
Shawcross tells Tony in his last letter before he died that he has given Tony what no one else has.

Tony and Al will once again get you as close to a serial killer as you ever want to be.

Season 2 Episode 17 “We Found The Root Cellar” Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

Tony, Al and Joey were very disappointed after the first trip to Cape Cod in December of 2016. They found the general area of the root cellar so they knew it was there, but they needed a new plan of attack. We began to investigate Ground Penetrating Radar and after much investigation and some disappointments we finally are able to rent a GPR device (Noggin 500) and return to Cape Cod in November of 2018.
We arranged for the GPR equipment to be shipped right to the hotel so it was there when we arrived. We had to assemble the unit and figure out how to use it, we were so excited that after nearly 2 years we were back with the proper equipment to hopefully discover the location of the infamous root cellar.
We wanted to try out the unit, and Hadden’s descriptions all said the root cellar is about 5 to 6 feet deep so we decided a graveyard was the best place to experiment. We found one of Wellfleet’s oldest graveyards and waited until late afternoon when there wouldn’t be anyone there. It was desolate and creepy, but using the GPR over graves gave us a pretty good indication as to what the root cellar would look like.
We retrace our earlier steps and spend 4 days formulating grids and soil slices. During these 4 days we were on the phone with experts in the field of GPR. We had sent so many videos and images and had so many false alarms that we were getting discouraged.
Finally on the 4th day we find an area that is as Hadden described it, and it is at a depth that makes sense. At this point we are pretty sure this is it, so we sent all the new images to Hans and waited to hopefully hear some positive news.
We finally got the call we had been waiting for, Hans said, “after looking at your notes and the data from the GPR I’m sure you guys found what you were looking for.”
It was music to our ears. After over two years, two trips to Cape Cod, and a whole lot of time, work and expense we finally found Hadden’s secret Root cellar. It was late in the day and the sun was going down. The fact that we were standing over the root cellar made the excitement almost unbearable, but at the same time foreboding.
