EP127: Brittany Murphy's Mysterious Death: Accidental? As if! May 28, 2025

Brittany Murphy’s shocking death at just 32 was not only a tragic loss but also the spark of countless conspiracy theories, from claims of foul play at the hands of her husband to whispers of a government cover-up linked to a national security whistleblower. Some have even drawn chilling connections between her untimely demise and powerful figures like Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Once a beloved, radiant star known for her roles in films like Clueless and 8 Mile, Brittany's death in December 2009 was initially ruled as natural causes, attributed to pneumonia and anemia. But the circumstances surrounding her death — her sudden decline in health, the strange events leading up to her death, and the eerie similarities to that of her husband Simon Monjack, who passed just five months later — has fueled a firestorm of conspiracy theories. Was it indeed "natural," or was there something more sinister at play?

EP126: Starvation Death Cult May 21, 2025

In April 2023, Kenyan authorities uncovered a waking nightmare: hundreds of shallow graves scattered across the forest floor in Shakahola. What began as ten bodies quickly ballooned into over 400—most of them women and children, many brutally mutilated, raped, or missing organs like eyes, kidneys, and genitalia. These were not peaceful deaths. This was a killing field disguised as holy ground; an execution site for followers of Good News International Ministries, a Christian doomsday cult led by self-proclaimed pastor Paul Mackenzie.

Indoctrinated with the belief that starving to death would bring them closer to Christ, victims surrendered food, freedom, and their lives - many buried alive, others butchered in ritualistic public executions. What investigators found wasn’t just mass murder - it was a religious apocalypse where obedience was fatal and faith became a death sentence. Please listen with caution.

She spit, levitated, cursed in languages she’d never learned, and hissed at holy water like it was acid.

This is the chilling story of Anna Ecklund—an American woman whose alleged possession wasn’t just a brief encounter with evil, but a decades-long war against it. Raised in a devout Catholic household in early 20th-century Wisconsin, Anna was barely into her teens when something unholy took root. Her appetite turned ravenous. Her thoughts grew violent. She couldn’t step foot inside a church without convulsing in rage... until 1928. That’s when Anna was taken to a remote Franciscan convent in Earling, Iowa, where a small group of nuns and priests locked themselves inside with her for 23 harrowing days and battled what they believed were not one, but multiple demons, including Lucifer himself.

Inside the convent, witnesses claimed Anna screamed with inhuman voices, predicted death, levitated off her bed, and unleashed a stench so foul it was said to be “not of this world.” Was she tormented by true evil—or trapped in the grips of mental illness, untreated and misunderstood? This is the story of a woman whose torment blurred the line between theology and psychology...and left even the most devout shaken to their core.

It was supposed to be a celebration—her tenth birthday. Instead, Victoria Martens spent her final night on earth in a nightmare no child should ever endure. Strangled, dismembered, and set on fire, Victoria’s death wasn’t just a crime - it was an indictment of every missed red flag, every broken system, and every adult who failed her…including her own mother.

This episode unpacks the unthinkable; not just the brutality of the homicide itself, but the lies, cover-ups, and systemic negligence that essentially let it happen. This is a devastating case that will shake you, haunt you, and force you to ask: how do we live in a world that allowed this little girl to die like that?

Trigger Warning: This episode contains graphic discussions of child abuse, sexual violence, and murder. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

When Chippendales, the world’s first all-male strip show exploded onto the scene in the late 1970s, it wasn’t just about rock-hard abs and screaming fans — it was about money, control, and the kind of ego that could, and did, kill. Because behind the glossy tearaway pants and neon lights, a toxic, lethal feud festered between the club’s founder, Somen Banerjee, and his creative partner/future victim, Nick De Noia. What culminated was a murder-for-hire plot that turned America's sexiest male strip production into a bloodstained crime scene. Incredibly, the tragic events of this savage real-life thriller involved hired hitmen, arson, FBI stings, and a man so obsessed with control, he burned it all to the ground rather than share the stage.

The Chijon Family was a nightmarishly savage South Korean gang that blazed a brief but blood-soaked trail of terror between 1993 and 1994. Spearheaded by 27-year-old Kim Gi-hwan—a man consumed by venomous hatred for the rich—the group was less a gang and more a death cult fueled by vengeance and sadism. Kim handpicked six like-minded men, each one simmering with rage and ready to spill blood in the name of class warfare. What followed wasn’t just violence—it was depravity in its purest form: abductions, captivity, torture, murder, and cannibalism, all inflicted upon innocent victims chosen solely for their perceived wealth. It was cruelty wrapped in ideology, and humanity didn’t stand a chance.

Pedro López confessed to the rape and murder of over 300 young girls across Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru — a number so staggering, it’s less of a crime spree and more like a mass extermination. The sheer scale of his brutality places him amongst the most prolific serial killers in history, but it’s not just the body count that makes him infamous. It’s the chilling coldness with which he hunted his victims, relentlessly stalking alleys, villages, ad marketplaces, taking lives like a predator out for sport. His motives? A twisted, grotesque revenge born from a childhood drenched in abuse and neglect that not only broke him, but transformed him into something far darker. And what's even more terrifying is that he may still be out there, walking among us...

Miriam Rodríguez was a 56-year-old mother living in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, when her life was shattered in 2014. Her 20-year-old daughter, Karen, was kidnapped by members of Los Zetas—one of Mexico’s most brutal and violent drug cartels. Despite paying a ransom, Miriam never saw her daughter alive again. Karen’s remains were discovered nearly two years later, buried in a shallow grave. But Miriam didn’t just grieve—she transformed.

Fueled by anguish and an unshakable sense of justice, she launched her own investigation, meticulously tracking down her daughter’s killers one by one. Disguising herself, using fake identities, and gathering intelligence like a seasoned detective, she helped locate and bring nearly a dozen cartel members to justice—essentially building cases where law enforcement had failed or refused to act. Miriam's astounding story remains a searing indictment of government inaction, cartel terror, and the price of speaking truth to power in a country where justice is often buried alongside the victims.

In the quiet hours of June 8, 2017, as employees at Weis Markets in Pennsylvania were preparing to close, an eerie stillness filled the air. Unbeknownst to them, their coworker, 24-year-old YouTuber Randy Stair, coldly barricaded the store’s exits as he prepared for a brutal massacre with chilling determination. Moments later, Randy removed his shotgun and unleashed a horrifying wave of violence, shooting and killing three innocent people before turning the gun on himself.

In the days leading up to this absolutely devastating tragedy, Randy broadcasted his dark intentions on his YouTube channel, revealing his twisted plan for destruction and exposing the depths of his pain and inner turmoil. This horrific event is not only about the shocking crime Randy executed, but the years of silent suffering and escalating darkness that drove him to that fateful moment.

EP118: Never Again: UK's Last Woman Hanged Mar 26, 2025

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod for exclusive content and join our family of little psychos! We'd love to have you.

Note/Correction: Investigator Slater kept referring to A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story as a Netflix series, but it actually aired on BritBox. She's very sorry.

Ruth Ellis was a 28-year-old nightclub hostess and mother who, in 1955, became the last woman to be executed in the United Kingdom. Her crime: the premeditated shooting of her abusive lover, David Blakely, outside a London pub in broad daylight. The trial was swift and the verdict was inevitable: Ruth Ellis was to hang for her crime. Despite mounting public sympathy and clear evidence of sustained physical and emotional abuse, the legal system refused to consider her mental state or the context of her actions. Ruth's execution sparked national outrage and helped ignite a decades-long movement toward the abolition of capital punishment in Britain. Her story remains one of the most haunting examples of how justice can fail those trapped by violence, gender, and a system determined to punish and condemn, rather than understand and help. So, while this is the story of Ruth Ellis, it is, at its core, about so much more.

EP117: Murder, Metal, and Mayhem Mar 19, 2025

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod for loads of exclusive content and to join our family of psychos!

Trigger warning: This episode discusses difficult topics including suicide, homicide, and other forms of trauma. Please listen with caution.

What comes to mind when you think of "black metal" music? Face paint, screams laced with hate, rage, aggression. Most metalheads might talk a big game about Satan, death, and destruction, but in reality are often mild-mannered accountants or kindergarten teachers who can’t even stand the sight of blood. But what if the darkness wasn’t just for show? What if the chaos, the obsession with death, and the destruction wasn’t a stage persona but a way of life (and death)?

This was the grim reality for Mayhem, a Norwegian black metal band formed just outside Oslo in 1984, widely regarded as the pioneers of the Norwegian black metal scene. Their infamy goes far beyond the music they created or the genre they helped define—it’s rooted in the pure, unrelenting chaos, violence, and nihilism they embodied. Onstage, offstage, and in the very depths of their existence, they lived what many would only dare to perform: satanic worship, neo-Nazism, arson, cannibalism, suicide, and murder. As the band name suggests, this case is absolute mayhem.

Elizabeth Struhs was a bright, beautiful 8-year-old girl whose precious life depended on insulin to manage her diabetes. Tragically, her parents, members of a fringe religious group in Australia called The Saints, followed a strict, literal interpretation of Christianity and the Bible. They rejected modern medicine in favor of prayer, believing it was the only path to healing for Elizabeth.

As a result, this vulnerable little girl—unable to advocate for herself—suffered and died in front of the entire congregation. A room full of adults stood silently, eyes closed in prayer, while refusing to provide Elizabeth the one thing that could have saved her life. For The Saints, every moment of existence was meant to be devoted to worshiping God, no matter the cost—even if that cost was the life of an innocent child.

Joining us today is Chris Distefano, NY based stand up comedian. He is the host of Chrissy Chaos and the co-host of History Hyenas. Chris is headlining the world famous Madison Square Garden on September 11, 2025 and has a brand new comedy special out on Hulu.

WARNING: Investigator Slater barely made it through the recording of this episode. It’s a wild ride, so fasten your seatbelt and prepare yourself—this conversation takes some unexpected, "unpredictable" turns. So the real question is: Other Than That Mrs. Slater, How Was The Podcast?

On a crisp April evening in 1865, the play Our American Cousin was set to impress a full house. With President Abraham Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, in attendance, the air was electric with excitement. But suddenly, the sharp crack of a Derringer pistol shattered the atmosphere, and a .44 caliber lead ball lodged into the back of President Lincoln’s head, irrevocably altering the course of history in an instant. While history has rightly fixated on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the peripheral figures in that fateful theater box bear their own harrowing, often overlooked stories. The gripping tale of Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris, forever intertwined with the brutality of that night, is one of heroism, relentless trauma, and the insidious toll of mental decline, PTSD, survivor's guilt, and, tragically, murder.

In Part 2 of our coverage of serial killer Harvey Glatman, we delve into one of the darkest, most chilling criminal minds in American history. Harvey Glatman’s reign of terror left an indelible mark on both the innocent lives he claimed and the criminological community, as his crimes exposed the harrowing depths of human depravity. Over the course of several years, his brutal acts shattered the public's sense of security, offering a haunting glimpse into the darkness that can fester beneath the surface of ordinary life.

Glatman’s fixation on domination, control, and the infliction of suffering grew from an early obsession with bondage and sadistic imagery, eventually evolving into meticulously orchestrated, horrific crimes. As we explore the psychological underpinnings of his actions, it becomes clear that Glatman’s mind was driven by a need to assert ultimate power—using fear and violence as tools to manipulate, dominate, and break his victims in the most unspeakable ways.

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod for exclusive content and join our family of little freaks and semen demons!

Harvey Glatman, one of America’s earliest known serial killers and sadomasochists, was as calculated and twisted as he was intelligent. Under the pretense of being a professional photographer, he placed ads seeking pinup models for so-called "crime scene reenactments"—photoshoots he claimed were for detective magazines, a popular genre at the time.

This elaborate ruse allowed Glatman to lure unsuspecting women straight into his trap, where he indulged his perverse obsession with control and dominance. Once isolated, he would bind, assault, and ultimately murder his victims, capturing their terror on film before disposing of their bodies. His chilling method—blending deception, manipulation, and sadism—would later make him a blueprint for future serial killers, demonstrating just how terrifyingly effective charm and calculated deceit could be.

Disturbing topics of sexual assault, murder, and suicide are discussed - please listen with caution.

Over the centuries, the idea of two souls deeply intertwined by destiny has been known by many names, including "twin flames." This connection is often viewed as predestined, something beyond human control—a bond that mirrors the concept of soulmates. It sounds beautiful, even enchanting... until it’s twisted and manipulated by the leader of a high-control group, a modern-day cult called the Twin Flames Universe. Here, the search for love and connection is hijacked, turning what should be a source of light into a suffocating darkness, where vulnerability is exploited, and people are forced to sacrifice their autonomy in the name of a false, oppressive ideology.

She lured an innocent man, Edward Baldock, into a trap where she wound up gruesomely feasting on his blood as he remained helpless and naked under the pale moonlight.

On December 4, 2024, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione is reported to have gunned down 50-year-old Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, on a NYC street using a 3D printed ghost gun. Since then, the public’s reaction has been sharply divided, oscillating between condemnation and sympathy. The controversy surrounding the crime at the center of today’s case has struck a raw nerve in the national psyche and is as profound as it is polarizing. Luigi has, perhaps inadvertently, become the face of a movement - a symbol of the struggle for an American healthcare system that values human well-being over profit margins. And in many circles, the focus has shifted away from the cold-blooded crime itself to the conditions that may have driven him to commit it.

There are numerous conditions and ailments in the world, each with its own set of unique and sometimes unusual remedies. However, the belief that incest could "cure" a son's sexuality is not just deeply flawed, but also shockingly appalling. This belief tragically played out in the life of Barbara Baekeland, a former New York fashion model and quintessential Hollywood socialite. In the 1960s, Barbara viewed her son's homosexuality as a severe "condition" that needed correction. Her unimaginable solution was to attempt a "cure" through incest, an abhorrent decision that ultimately led to her own brutal death.

In the stifling confines of a teeming New York City subway car, a fatal confrontation recently erupted that sent shockwaves throughout the nation/world. Jordan Neely, a former NYC Michael Jackson impersonator struggling with homelessness and well-documented mental health challenges, was ensnared in a lethal chokehold by Daniel Penny, a U.S. Marine veteran who perceived Jordan as a threat to public safety. Chillingly captured on bystander video, the terrifying scene unfolded with Jordan's desperate gasps for breath and the unflinching determination of Daniel's resolve. This incredibly tragic incident has ignited an ongoing, volatile public debate over the deeper societal issues it has illuminated: systemic racism, vigilante justice, mental health crises, and civilian reactions in moments fraught with perceived danger.

EP104: Silent Night: The Unsolved Mystery of JonBenét Ramsey (Part 1) Dec 25, 2024

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod to join our family of freaks and gain access to exclusive content!

At 1:05 PM on December 26, 1996, the body of a beautiful six-year-old girl was found by her father in a dark, frigid basement room of their family home in Boulder, Colorado. Just seven hours earlier, at 5:52 AM, the child’s mother frantically called the police to report her daughter missing after discovering a two-and-a-half-page ransom note on a spiral staircase within their residence. From that moment on, the tragic and brutal death of JonBenét Ramsey - a daughter, sister, niece, friend, and beauty queen - has captivated the public imagination, dominating headlines and igniting endless discussions and debates about the identity of her killer. In Part 1 of our two-part coverage, we delve deeply into the myriad questions and theories that swirl around this case. We dissect the intricate details of the ransom note, analyze the findings of the autopsy report, and begin to uncover the often horrific ways in which the investigation was conducted—or, according to many, NOT investigated. Our exploration aims to cast light on a narrative that transcends mere media spectacle and conjecture—it's about a real little girl whose life ended tragically and whose case cries out for justice and closure.

All individuals discussed in this context are presumed innocent unless otherwise determined by a legal process. This podcast does not assert guilt but instead examines the allegations and public details surrounding the case.

In the final chapter of our extensive three-part series on Diddy, we undertake a deep examination of many of the 25 lawsuits that have already been filed — powerful testimonies that lay bare the experiences of those who claim to have suffered abuse at Diddy’s hands. Among these allegations are stories from survivors who were just minors at the time of the abuse. Their courage to speak out presents a fundamental truth: every survivor's voice deserves to be heard. We also shine a light on the legal pathways that have empowered survivors to seek justice: the Adult Survivor’s Act and the New York City Gender-Motivated Violence Act. To close Part 3, we venture into the complex psychology of the alleged perpetrator and peel back the layers of a man who, while now behind bars, continues to assert his innocence. The pursuit of justice is ongoing, and as we unravel the threads of this narrative, we remain committed to uncovering the truth, honoring the survivors, and holding power to account.

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod to join our family of freaks and gain access to exclusive content!

Friday the 13th is feared by many but understood by few—until now (cue creepy music). For those trapped in its superstitious grip, it serves as a harbinger of doom, a day when the veil between the real and the supernatural grows thin, and the ordinary and the extraordinary collide in terrifying ways. While most think of a masked killer stalking through the woods, there’s a darker truth beneath the fiction; where fear is real, not imagined. Throughout history, Friday the 13th has been marked by monumental events—some gory, others financial, and still others biblical. Today, we’ll not only unravel the disturbing history of Friday the 13th but also dive into the chilling case of Peter Moore, Wales' worst serial killer, whose twisted crimes are eerily linked to the dark legacy of this cursed day.

In Part 2 of our gripping three-part series on Sean "Diddy" Combs, we peel back the layers on Diddy’s own past and uncover disturbing possibilities of sexual abuse during his childhood. Our investigation reveals that he attended an all-boys Catholic school during a period rife with scandal and horrific abuse, with several clergy members later named, arrested, and convicted for their involvement in these horrific acts. Additionally, we take a deep dive into the explosive lawsuit filed by his incredibly brave ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, a legal battle that has sparked a wave of civil suits from other alleged victims of sexual abuse seeking justice. We also unravel the chilling details of "The Diddy List," an unofficial roster of A-list celebrities who may have been involved in, complicit in, or at the very least aware of the shocking acts of sexual exploitation and violence that took place at Diddy’s notorious parties and in hotel rooms. Please listen with caution.

All individuals discussed in this context are presumed innocent unless otherwise determined by a legal process. This podcast does not assert guilt but instead examines the allegations and public details surrounding the case.

For our 100th episode of Psychopedia (!), we are launching our first-ever three-part series on Sean Combs, aka Diddy. With the explosive headlines and outrageous accusations surrounding this self-proclaimed king, it's impossible to ignore that Diddy currently sits behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, NY, awaiting trial. In this episode (Part 1), we start at the end, diving into the explosive federal indictments Diddy faces, including charges of racketeering conspiracy, human trafficking, sex trafficking, abuse, coercion, use of violence and threats, and obstruction of justice. We then take a closer look at Diddy’s life, beginning with his childhood and tracing the twists and turns that led to his meteoric rise to fame. Along the way, we discuss shocking untimely deaths and controversial murders that many believe are linked to the music mogul, and explore the fascinating—and at times outlandish—conspiracy theories surrounding him. We also reveal Diddy’s alleged sexual proclivities, perversions, and crimes that have cast a long shadow over his legacy.

To close Part 1, we peel back the curtain on Diddy's infamous “freak-offs,” which were allegedly ongoing drug-fueled orgies involving unconsenting individuals who were forced to participate. We expose the dark underworld Diddy allegedly cultivated behind closed doors, a world he thought would remain hidden forever...until now. Because the door has swung wide open to let in the light, exposing what is reportedly a twisted truth within.

TRIGGER WARNING: This story includes discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the U.S. is available by calling or texting 988.

On the final day of his life, 14-year-old Sewell Setzer III sent a text to his closest confidant, expressing how much he missed her and how he couldn't wait to "come home to her." On the surface, this might have seemed like a simple, heartfelt exchange between a teenager and a close friend. Yet, the truth beneath this communication is far darker and more complex. Sewell was, in fact, speaking to a lifelike AI chatbot—designed to mimic human interaction and respond in ways that fostered genuine emotional connections. Over time, Sewell's attachment to this chatbot deepened, spiraling into a dangerous obsession that would tragically end in a profound and heartbreaking loss. This tragedy has not only shattered the lives of those who knew him but also raised crucial questions about the role of AI in our emotional lives. In this episode of Slaterpedia, we delve into the chilling consequences of when AI crosses the line from a tool to a killer.

EP98: Vampire of Sacramento: Spree Killer Richard Chase Nov 27, 2024

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod to join our family of freaks and gain access to exclusive content!

Richard Chase, infamously known as the "Vampire of Sacramento," was a brutal spree killer whose horrifying crimes still shock the world. His chilling case remains a focal point in criminology, with his complex psychological profile continuing to be analyzed and used by the FBI. In the 1970s, Richard Chase savagely murdered six people, and engaged in horrific acts of body dissection, cannibalism and necrophilia. His behavior was heavily influenced by his severe mental illness, including paranoia and delusions, which led Richard to believe that drinking the blood of his victims would prevent his own premature death. His devastating killing spree is truly a case study of the intersection of mental disturbance and malicious intent, forcing us to grapple with difficult questions about accountability, insanity, and the limits of empathy for those driven by profound psychological torment who go on to commit unthinkable acts of violence and cruelty. TRIGGER WARNING: This case is extremely graphic in nature. Please listen with caution!

EP97: Sex Addicted Murderous Mom Nov 20, 2024

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod to join our family of freaks and gain access to exclusive content!

When addiction drives someone to commit the ultimate act of cruelty, how do we reconcile their humanity with the horror of their actions? Addiction, such as an unchecked obsession with sex, can dissolve moral boundaries, driving individuals to prioritize their compulsions over empathy, ethics, and even basic humanity—including, in this heartbreaking case, the fundamental maternal instinct. Louise Porton deliberately ended the lives of the children she brought into the world, striking at the very core of what it means to be human and leaving us outraged and deeply unsettled. Her calculated cruelty and staggering indifference, arguably driven by an overwhelming sex addiction, led her to take the lives of her two precious young daughters: Lexi, just three years old, and Scarlett, only 17 months. In doing so, Louise betrayed not only her role as a mother but also the very essence of nature itself, and transformed from a giver of life to a dealer of death in the most tragic way imaginable.

EP96: I Will Survive Nov 13, 2024

In the world of mythology, the phoenix stands as one of the most enduring symbols of resilience and teaches us that true strength is not defined by the absence of hardship, but by the ability to rise after being consumed by it. Imagine, for a moment, hearing the sickening sound of your own flesh being torn open, feeling your head nearly severed, your body stabbed, slashed, and disemboweled. Picture your attackers walking away, convinced that no living being could survive the savagery they’ve inflicted. But here's the twist: they severely underestimated the woman at the center of this story. A woman who, like the phoenix, rose from the ashes of unimaginable brutality, emerging not only alive but more powerful and resilient than ever. This woman—whose journey is marked by pain and horror beyond comprehension—became the embodiment of unbreakable willpower. This is the case of Alison Botha, whose harrowing tale is one of survival, strength, and an indomitable spirit that defied death itself. Please listen with caution.

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod to join our family of freaks and gain access to exclusive content!

On April 3, 2011, a cemetery worker in South Africa stumbled upon an outrageously gruesome scene: large quantities of fresh blood and drag marks leading to a pair of blood-soaked jeans, and beneath that, a naked young adult male, butchered, eviscerated, and dismembered, barely recognizable as human. Cold as ice, this young man had been brutally stabbed and skinned; and when his remains were uncovered, they were missing numerous body parts, including his head. This is the absolutely devastating case of Michael Van Eck, who was murdered and flayed by a depraved woman posing as a romantic interest, Chané van Heerden (known as "The Female Ed Gein"), and her disturbed boyfriend, Maartens van der Merwe. Steeped in pseudo-occult practices and sadistic ritualistic behavior, this savage case is regarded as one of the most heinous murders in South African history. Please listen with caution.

We’ve all felt it—the spine-tingling sensation that someone or something is lurking, watching us from the shadows. That an inanimate object, specifically a doll, has somehow come to life, piercing its gaze through the veil of stillness. In the eerie corners of Key West, this creeping dread becomes almost tangible in the presence of Robert the Doll, a stuffed creation with disturbingly lifelike features: a stitched mouth, button nose, and wide, soulless black eyes that seem to follow your every move with a sinister intelligence. Although Robert the Doll may have been intended as a charming toy, anyone who lays eyes on him knows that his haunting expression conceals dark secrets best left undisturbed. Robert is not just a doll; he is a vessel of dark magic, cursed (if you dare to believe), and ready to unleash havoc and despair at any moment. This is the story of the most haunted doll in the world. Happy Halloween!

On February 13, 2024, a man received a call from his grandchildren's school informing him that their mother, Kristina Joksimovic, a former Miss Switzerland finalist, had failed to pick them up. After collecting the children and bringing them back to their home, he searched the house for clues as to his daughter's whereabouts, and found a large black garbage bag in the basement laundry room. Trembling, he peeled back the plastic to make an absolutely gruesome discovery: Kristina’s signature cascade of golden blonde hair, still attached to her severed head. The horrifying sight raised countless questions, most hauntingly: What had happened to his beautiful daughter, and where was the rest of Kristina? The answers would soon reveal themselves in a manner that shocked and horrified the world. Because parts of Kristina’s remains were discovered soaking in a chemical solution, while others, devastatingly, had been pureed in a kitchen blender. This is the shockingly brutal and heartbreaking case of Kristina Joksimovic.

In Part 2 of our two-part coverage of Robert Hansen, also known as the "Butcher Baker," we explore his twisted motives and gruesome methods of killing. Hansen would lure vulnerable women to his remote cabin and engage in a sadistic ritual, which involved hunting them down like defenseless prey in the vast Alaskan wilderness. Often, in a particularly cruel twist, he would release his ensnared victims just to chase them through the woods with a rifle, savoring the hunt and inflicting maximum psychological torment. Hansen's horrific legacy left at least 17 innocent victims buried beneath the cold Alaskan earth, their tragic fates sealed by his sick ambition.

In Part 1 of our two-part coverage of Alaska's most prolific serial killer, we delve into Hansen's troubled upbringing and the disturbing behaviors that ultimately led to the deaths of countless innocent women. He was a deeply twisted individual who believed he had the right to determine a woman's worth and, even more horrifically, to violently eliminate any woman he deemed "indecent" or unworthy of existence. Our exploration of Robert Hansen in Part 1 reveals the complexities of his twisted psyche and the societal factors that may have contributed to his inexcusable, heinous actions.

At 3:26 PM on Thursday, December 16, 2004, Becky Harper made a gruesome discovery that no parent should ever have to see: her 23-year-old daughter, Bobbi Jo Stinnett, lying dead in a pool of blood on the floor of her Missouri home. The scene was a vision of gruesome chaos, and Becky struggled to comprehend the horror before her. As she continued to absorb all the horrific details, her breath caught in her throat as she realized that Bobbi Jo’s abdomen had been violently ripped open. And, heartbreakingly, the baby she had been carrying for nearly eight months was gone. All that remained was a severed umbilical cord. This is the devastating case of the brutal murder of Bobbi Jo Stinnett and the shocking abduction of her unborn daughter, Victoria Jo. It is also the chilling story of Lisa Montgomery, the deeply disturbed perpetrator who became the first woman to be executed by the federal government since 1953. The details of this episode are extremely graphic in nature - listener discretion is advised.

In September 2013, three friends chatting on a bridge over the Vartry Reservoir near Dublin noticed a series of disturbing items floating in the water: handcuffs, shackles, rope, a woman’s top, leg restraints, and a leather face mask with a gag ball. Additionally, among the recovered items were also two cell phones containing extremely graphic text messages between individuals labeled "Master" and "Slave." Then, the following day, a dog walker stumbled upon decomposed human remains in a wooded area near the reservoir. Tragically, the connection between these macabre discoveries unraveled a nightmarish tale of BDSM and murder, and revealed the absolutely devastating descent of Elaine O'Hara, an innocent and vulnerable woman who fell prey to the horrifically twisted fantasies of a depraved killer.

TRIGGER WARNING: This case contains extremely disturbing content and includes difficult discussions of sexual assault, self-harm, and suicide. Please listen with caution.

In the face of death, most would run—it’s human nature to flee from danger, to protect oneself, to cling to life. But on September 11, 2001, as chaos engulfed the South Tower of the World Trade Center, Welles Remy Crowther defied that instinct. Amid the smoke and fire, with the ground shaking beneath him and flames licking at his skin, he chose not to run. Instead, he repeatedly charged back into the inferno, not for himself, but to save others. Driven by something far stronger than fear, he guided the lost, comforted the wounded, and led the terrified to safety. He knew the risks—each step could be his last—but his deep sense of duty and compassion never wavered. In those moments of unimaginable terror, he saved 18 lives. This man, who faced death without flinching, who stood as a beacon of courage and selflessness in the darkest of times, was The Man in the Red Bandana.

To support us and gain access to exclusive content, please visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod

The torment of a parent discovering that their child has been murdered is a searing, primal agony that defies articulation—a force that blends heartache, fury, and helplessness, leaving a deep, forever open wound on the soul. While such horror is unimaginable and "next steps" seem unconceivable, André Bamberski's immediate response to his daughter's murder was extraordinary: he transformed his heartbreak into a relentless, three-decade-long pursuit of justice. His quest unfolds like an international spy thriller, weaving together a web of intrigue, suspicious autopsy reports, forged documents, and whispers of a government cover-up. Yet, at its core, this story is about a brokenhearted father, bound by his duty to his daughter. This is the story of André Bamberski and his quest for vigilante vengeance on behalf of his beloved child, Kalinka.

To support us and gain access to exclusive content, please visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod

The horrific case of Colleen Stan is one of the most terrifying and unbelievable tales of torture, captivity, and survival in modern history. In Part 1 of our two-part coverage, we lay the foundation of how 20-year-old Colleen Stan was abducted by Cameron and Janice Hooker, a sadistic couple in California who fulfilled their depraved goal of sexually enslaving "a girl who couldn’t say no.” What followed after Colleen's abduction was seven years of unimaginable torment, as Colleen was forced to wear a wooden box over her head and/or lay in a coffin-sized box for 23 hours per day while being subjected to extreme physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. This case, often referred to as "The Girl in the Box," delves into the darkest corners of human depravity and explores the terrifying depths of control and manipulation.

The Fappening, also known as "Celebgate," refers to a massive leak of private, often intimate, photographs of celebrities that occurred in 2014. The incident, which primarily targeted female celebrities, involved hackers gaining unauthorized access to personal cloud storage accounts and distributing the stolen images online for the entire world to see. Among the victims were high-profile figures like Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, and Kirsten Dunst. The Fappening highlighted serious concerns about digital privacy, cybersecurity, and the vulnerability of personal data. Additionally, the incident sparked debates on victim-blaming and the objectification of women, as many of the victims faced public scrutiny despite being the ones whose privacy was violated.

In October 2019, Wade Wilson, who shares a name with the alter ego of the Marvel character “Deadpool,” ruthlessly murdered two innocent women in Cape Coral, Florida with his brutal bare hands. With his face covered in menacing neo-Nazi tattoos, including a stitched smile across his mouth, Wade Wilson’s sinister appearance is matched only by his depraved nature. When asked during police interrogation why he committed such heinous acts of violence, Wade chillingly replied, “I just wanted to do it.” This individual is truly one of the coldest psychopaths to emerge, whose utter lack of remorse and cruel indifference to human life has left a community shattered and the entire nation reeling.

EP74: Killing for Clicks Jul 17, 2024

On an otherwise tranquil morning in May of 2012, Canada was rocked by an unthinkable crime committed by a depraved, cannibalistic, necrophiliac, 29-year-old porn star named Luka Magnotta. Luka ruthlessly murdered an innocent man, named Jun Lin, before dismembering his body and mailing his remains to various elementary schools and a political center in Canada. Armed with an ice-pick, Luka committed this heinous act as the coup de grâce to a series of violent acts committed online, in which he had the sickening audacity to harm innocent animals. This is the case of the man at the center of the Netflix documentary “Don’t F*ck With Cats,” a man who was at the center of an international manhunt after he made the callous choice to kill for clicks. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode is graphic in nature and discusses matters relating to domestic violence and animal abuse. Please listen with caution.

EP73: Exorcised to Death Jul 10, 2024

The harrowing case of Anneliese Michel, a young German woman who endured what she believed to be sixty-seven demonic possessions in 1976, stands as one of the most shocking tales in modern history. Anneliese struggled with physical and psychological symptoms that she attributed to demonic possession, including seizures, hallucinations, severe depression, and intense delusions. As such, Anneliese (willingly?) underwent sixty-seven horrific exorcisms performed by her trusted priest, each more grueling than the last. Her relentless battle with these supposed demonic forces wound up leading to her devastating demise — a brutal, violent, and heartbreaking end to her struggle against spiritual warfare. Anneliese's story is a haunting blend of fear, faith, and human suffering, making it one of the most compelling and tragic accounts of exorcism ever recorded. This case challenges the boundaries of belief and delves deep into the complexities of human endurance, conviction, and religious devotion.

UPDATE: On the day on which this update was recorded, a significant development occurred in the case of Lucy Letby, a former nurse who ruthlessly and deliberately murdered seven newborn babies at the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital in England. Tune in to hear this devastating update, "hot off the press," as tragically, Letby has just been convicted of taking yet another precious life.

We discuss possible motives behind Lucy Letby's heinous crimes, how she was caught, the trial that ensued, and where she is now. Additionally, we shine a light on those who deserve the utmost remembrance amidst the recent surge of media coverage: namely, the innocent victims and their families.

Case Update! EP28: Nightmare Nurse: Lucy Letby (Part 1) Jul 05, 2024

UPDATE: On the day on which this update was recorded, a significant development occurred in the case of Lucy Letby, a former nurse who ruthlessly and deliberately murdered seven newborn babies at the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital in England. Tune in to hear this devastating update, "hot off the press," as tragically, Letby has just been convicted of taking yet another precious life.

For nearly a full year between June 2015 and June 2016, the neonatal unit at Countess of Chester Hospital in England was plagued by a series of heart-wrenching and inexplicable infant deaths at a rate that was not just alarming, but also statistically unusual and significant. Tragically, newborn baby fatalities and/or near-death collapses were occuring abruptly and often, and crucially, under the care and supervision of one young nurse named Lucy Letby. As the expression goes: once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern. Seventeen times (at least) is the work of the most prolific child serial killer in modern UK history.

EP72: Cannibal Cop Jul 03, 2024

Should merely fantasizing about abducting, murdering, cooking, and eating women be treated with the same severity as committing the crime itself? This paradox is starkly illustrated in the case of New York Police Department officer Gilberto Valle, who frequented the Dark Web to share his violent and twisted sexual fantasies of abducting, murdering, cooking, and eating women. His case strikes at the heart of freedom of conscience, a fundamental human right that allows for the exploration of ideas within the private sanctuary of the mind. However, while this freedom is essential for creativity and moral deliberation, the potential for thoughts to manifest into actions cannot be ignored, either. The line between thought and deed can blur, especially when considering premeditation in criminal law. This is the absolutely fascinating and disturbing case of The Cannibal Cop.

EP71: Skate or Die Jun 26, 2024

Amidst the whirlwind of fame and adrenaline in the skateboarding world of the 1980s, Mark "Gator" Rogowski's unique style and creative tricks dominated the scene, making him a household name and a hero to aspiring skaters everywhere. His presence at any event guaranteed a spectacle, as he seemed to possess an almost supernatural ability to defy the laws of physics. Yet, as the adage goes, "what goes up, must come down." Because beneath the surface of Gator's seemingly perfect life, darker issues lurked. Personal struggles and erratic behavior began to overshadow his achievements, and the same intensity that once fueled his success on the ramps drove him to commit a heinous act of brutality against an innocent 21-year-old woman named Jessica Bergsten. Jessica's tragic death, and the violence that she suffered in her final moments, was absolutely horrific, and shocked not just her devastated family and the skateboarding community, but the entire world.

EP70: O.J. Simpson Case of Kazakhstan Jun 19, 2024

In 2023, a beautiful 31-year-old young woman named Saltanat Nukenova was beaten to death for eight hours straight by her violent husband, the former Minister of Economy in Kazakhstan, Kuandyk Bishimbayev. The couple had been married for less than a year, and throughout this short time, the powerful former politician brutalized Saltanat behind closed doors while publicly continuing to rub elbows with the nation's elite. Given the entrenched patriarchy surrounding Saltanat and her husband's ties to the nation's elite, this innocent woman was left with virtually no options for escape. As a result, tragically, she paid for this dire fact with her life. Saltanat's heartbreaking death became an international battle cry for legal reform and women's rights in Kazakhstan, as hundreds of thousands of people, including her loving family, demanded protective rights be instilled, leading to significant changes in domestic violence laws.

Breaking Update! Gilgo Beach: Massacre in the Marsh (Part 1) Jun 09, 2024

UPDATE: On Thursday, June 6, 2024, about one year following our initial two-part coverage of the Gilgo Beach serial killings, a major development occurred. Rex Heuermann, the main suspect who was arrested in July 2023, now faces new murder charges for the tragic and brutal deaths of two additional women—one whom we discussed during our initial coverage, and another previously unconnected to the Gilgo Beach murders. Additionally, chilling discoveries have been made in Heuermann’s home, including new DNA evidence allegedly linking him to these murders. If you’ve already listened to our coverage of this horrific case, we encourage you to listen again along with the update provided at the top of the episode. If you have not yet listened, please do so with caution, as this case is as graphic as it is heartbreaking.

The Long Island Serial Killer case, also known as The Gilgo Beach Murders, has been a haunting unsolved mystery for over a decade that seems to have touched the lives of all New Yorkers, Tank and Slater included. From the disappearances of multiple young women to the discovery of dismembered remains on our local beaches, and even allegations of police corruption, this chilling case is as baffling as it is tragic. Incredibly, after more than a decade of twists and turns, a significant breakthrough occurred just two days prior to the recording of this episode, bringing this absolutely gruesome case back into the spotlight where it belongs. Stay on top of this actively developing case by listening to Part 1 of our two-part bonus episode: Gilgo Beach: Massacre in the Marsh.

EP68: The Snowtown Murders: Bodies in Barrels (Part 1) Jun 05, 2024

From August 1992 to May 1999, John Bunting led a gang of self-proclaimed vigilante serial killers on one of the world's most bizarre and sadistic murder sprees. Part 1 of the case of the Snowtown Murders, also known as the Bodies in Barrels Murders, delves into some of the darkest corners of the human psyche, where the lines between victim and perpetrator become terrifyingly blurred. John Bunting coerced vulnerable individuals to serve as accomplices in some of the most heinous crimes imaginable. He was a homophobic, Nazi-loving, blood-thirsty disaster of a human being, presenting one of the most shocking examples of stone-cold psychopathy you will ever hear about. Eleven victims lost their lives to his brutality and spent years decomposing in hidden barrels before his reign of terror ended in what is regarded as the worst serial killer case in Australian history. Please listen with caution, as this episode contains difficult topics relating to murder, sexual assault, child abuse, homophobia, and self-harm.

EP67: The Lululemon Massacre May 29, 2024

On the morning of Saturday, March 2012, in Bethesda, Maryland, law enforcement encountered a scene straight out of a horror film when they entered the Lululemon athletic store in town. Inside this upscale, trendy store, bloodstains smeared the floor, merchandise lay scattered, mannequins were toppled, and a semiconscious young woman with a bloody face had her wrists and ankles bound with zip ties. In the back hallway, they found another young woman, her skull smashed in and her spine severed. The scene was a sickening tableau of violence, immediately suggesting a brutal attack by multiple perpetrators. However, identifying the people/person responsible for this horrific crime was not as straightforward as it initially seemed. And absolutely no one could have possibly guessed the despicable culprit behind this shocking, merciless crime or grasped how truly disturbing and tragic the heartbreaking incident was.

EP66: God Is A Woman May 22, 2024

Love Has Won is a modern-day cult shrouded in mystery and controversy, heralding a woman named Amy Carlson as the Mother of All Creation. According to Amy’s devout followers, she was a 19-billion-year-old reincarnated deity with the power to cure all illness through love. Her advisory circle was an eclectic ensemble of dead celebrities with whom she claimed to be in direct communication. Amy Carlson led hundreds of followers who believed fervently in her divine identity and powers, trusting her with not just their spiritual and physical well-being, but also their financial resources. Under the guise of spiritual enlightenment and healing, she manipulated and controlled her followers until the day she died by the very principles she preached. Following her death, we are thrusted into a vortex of haunting questions: Was her death, which slowly and painfully unfolded on livestream alongside her followers who watched, murder or suicide? Or, as her disciples proclaim, did she simply leave her earthly body (which had turned completely blue) to ascend to a fifth dimension? Her bizarre saga, from the mundane to the mystical, beckons us to unravel the dangerous reality behind her harrowing end.

EP65: "Bye Mam, I Love You" May 15, 2024

On a somber Sunday in 2010, the quiet town of Maesteg, South Wales, was shaken by tragedy when 15-year-old Rebecca “Becca” Aylward vanished after meeting her ex-boyfriend, Josh Davies. Her mother, Sonia Oatley, tirelessly searched the streets, driven by dread and mounting desperation. The search ended with a chilling call: "Stop searching. Come home." This confirmed Sonia's worst fears: Becca was not just missing - she was lost forever. The community was stunned to learn that Josh, once trusted and loved by Becca and her entire family, savagely took her young life simply to settle a bet with a friend. Becca’s last words, "Bye Mam, I love you," will remain a poignant reminder of the innocent life so cruelly taken by a cold, calculated, and ruthless teenage predator.

The Ant Hill Kids Cult (featuring Grace O'Malley, host of Plan Bri Uncut podcast) May 10, 2024

In this episode, we are joined by special guest, comedian and Barstool podcaster, Grace O'Malley.

The Ant Hill Kids, a dangerous cult led by the enigmatic and malevolent Roch Thériault, stands as a chilling testament to the depths of human vulnerability and the intoxicating power of charismatic manipulation. Nestled in the remote wilderness of Canada, this cult was not merely an isolated commune; it was a cauldron of sadistic rituals, extreme religious fervor, and grotesque acts of violence. Thériault, who proclaimed himself the divine messenger of God, ruled over his followers with an iron fist, exploiting their faith to commit unspeakable atrocities of violence. As we delve into the harrowing tale of the Ant Hill Kids, we confront the darkest corners of the human psyche and grapple with the chilling question of how seemingly ordinary individuals ultimately chose to surrender their safety and autonomy to the whims of a madman.

EP64: Pranked and Poisoned May 08, 2024

The assassination of Kim Jong-Nam, brother of North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un, was an outrageously mind-boggling event. It unfolded like a script where a spy thriller and a candid-camera show intersected and somehow, incredibly, changed history. Prank comedy, particularly in East Asia, has solidified its place in entertainment by capitalizing on the universal appeal of humor and surprise. This unique genre thrives on the unexpected and transforms everyday situations into stages for unscripted comedy. Watching ordinary people caught in extraordinary setups is often hilarious—unless the "prank" turns into a meticulously planned murder, leaving the unsuspecting participant dead. In this case, the victim was no ordinary person but a potential leader of North Korea's Kim dynasty. His death during what seemed like a prank show was actually a political assassination.

EP63: Scissor Sisters (Part 2) May 01, 2024

In Part 2 of our deep dive into the notorious Irish "Scissor Sisters" case, we explore the investigation into the brutal slaughter of 39-year-old Farah Swaleh Noor. Sisters Charlotte and Linda Mulhall bludgeoned, stabbed, and dismembered Noor’s body in a crime so shocking that it continues to shock and disgust. How were these two sisters brought to justice? Moreover, how do their troubled pasts, marked by physical violence and substance abuse, influence our perception of the gruesome act they committed against a man known to be a sexual predator? Our exploration delves into the minds and motives behind these exceedingly violent actions, not to justify them, but to seek a deeper understanding of why the Scissor Sisters embarked on such a dark path. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode is graphic in nature and discusses topics of sexual assault and self-harm. Please listen with caution.

EP62: Scissor Sisters (Part 1) Apr 24, 2024

The notorious "Scissor Sisters" case ranks among the most brutal and shocking in Irish history, leaving a dark mark on the true crime genre. Linda and Charlotte Mulhall, despite a troubled existence marred by alcohol and drug addiction and a history of abuse, had never shown signs of extreme violence or serious legal troubles. That changed dramatically when they gruesomely stabbed, bludgeoned, and cut the throat of their mother's boyfriend, dismembered his body in a bathroom, and discarded the remains in Dublin's Royal Canal. Adding to the horror, they retained his head with the intention of burying it separately, turning a savage murder into a macabre tale of calculated cruelty. In Part 1 of our two-part coverage of this outrageous case, we detail exactly what happened, how it happened, and cover some fascinating facts surrounding "homicidal mutilation." TRIGGER WARNING: This episode is graphic in nature and discusses topics of sexual assault and self-harm. Please listen with caution.

EP61: Neglected to Death Apr 17, 2024

Some fates are worse than death. One such fate—physically melting into a couch, with flesh fusing to the fabric—was absolutely agonizing and tragically endured by a 36-year-old woman named Lacey Fletcher. Lacey faced various challenges that made her entirely dependent upon her parents, Sheila and Clay. However, instead of providing the necessary medical and psychological support that Lacey needed, her parents allowed her to slowly (and painfully) die before their very eyes. Immobile, nonverbal, and unable to call for help, Lacey was at the mercy of two merciless people who allowed maggots to feed off her dying flesh while she was still alive. This case probes deep into the darkest aspects of human nature, where those expected to protect and nurture by virtue of blood and love instead became instruments of outrageous suffering.

EP60: Toolbox Killers Apr 10, 2024

"For those of you who don’t know what hell is like, you will find out." These were the foreboding words a prosecutor uttered in 1981, moments before playing 17 harrowing minutes of audio that documented the appalling abuse of a 16-year-old girl. The courtroom was enveloped in grief, with many in tears or compelled to leave…all except for Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, the two perpetrators responsible for the suffering. Known as “The Toolbox Killers,” this infamous serial killer team sat unfazed, even smiling, as their victim's screams filled the room, a stark testament to their depravity. Responsible for the torture and murder of five teenage girls in California, Bitaker and Norris's actions truly represent the epitome of human cruelty. Their heartbreaking, calculated torment of their victims before their deaths is the stuff of nightmares. TRIGGER WARNING: This case is very graphic in nature and may be difficult to listen to. Please listen with caution.

EP59: Kim Kardashian's Killer Klone Apr 02, 2024

On what began as a seemingly ordinary afternoon on September 20, 2017, a dense cloud of smoke suddenly enveloped the affluent Southfields neighborhood in Wimbledon, London, casting an ominous veil over the area that signaled the start of an unforeseen and chilling scene. Firefighters, responding to what they initially believed was a routine call about a backyard bonfire gone awry, made a harrowing discovery as they worked to extinguish the flames: dismembered human fingers and a charred nose. The investigation into identifying the incinerated remains culminated in a disturbing revelation that sent shockwaves throughout Europe. Because it became clear that Sophie Lionnet, an innocent 21-year-old French au pair, died a brutal death at the twisted hands of her depraved host parents, Sabrina Kouider and Ouissem "Sam" Medouni. Despite Sabrina's Hollywood-esque exterior and love for the lime light, her inner world was fraught with turmoil, manipulation, and chaos—a stark contrast that ultimately lead to the torture and tragic death of an innocent young woman.

EP58: Face Eating Frat Boy Mar 27, 2024

In an act that defied all notions of humanity and sanity, a 19-year-old college student named Austin Harrouff viciously stabbed and cannibalized an innocent couple living in Jupiter, Florida. When police arrived at the horrific scene in August of 2016, Austin was discovered swallowing and spitting out chunks of flesh from one of his victim's faces in an act so horrific, that it seemed to be the manifestation of the darkest depths of human depravity. This grotesque display of violence, however, cannot be detached from the significant role that Austin's mental health played in precipitating these brutal actions. Prior to this devastating event, there were indicators of Austin's deteriorating psychological state, hinting at a profound struggle within. This devastating case forces us to confront questions about the intersection of mental illness and extreme violence, and urges a deeper examination of how society addresses mental health, particularly among the youth, and the mechanisms in place to prevent such tragedies from unfolding. Please listen with caution.

EP57: Serial Killer Robert Pickton (Part 2) Mar 20, 2024

In the second installment of our exploration into Canada's most prolific serial killer, Robert "Willy" Pickton, we reach the harrowing climax of over a decade of unspeakable acts, and unveil the downfall of a truly vile man. We delve into the twisted psyche of Robert Pickton, probing the depths of human depravity to understand how a person could embody such evil. The ensuing investigation, the most extensive in Canadian history, not only uncovered the grim reality of his crimes but also sparked a long-overdue overhaul of law enforcement practices in the wake of this soul-shattering case. The voices of the 49 "invisible" Indigenous women and sex workers, silenced and marginalized, finally resonated through the corridors of justice as the true horror of their fates was brought into the light, honored, and mourned. Yet, as we dissect the intricacies of this case, a chilling question lingers: Did Robert Pickton face the full extent of justice? Especially since recent headlines suggest the alarming possibility that he might once again walk freely among us after all these years...

EP56: Serial Killer Robert Pickton: Pig Farmer (Part 1) Mar 13, 2024

In the first installment of our in-depth look at Robert "Willy" Pickton, Canada's most prolific serial killer, we delve into the dark and tragic saga of 49 innocent women who met their untimely deaths in the most horrific ways imaginable. These victims, who were pushed to the fringes of society by poverty, addiction, and the necessity of survival sex work, fell prey to a merciless killer who leveraged their societal invisibility and capitalized on the police's glaring indifference and neglect. Part 1 of our two-part series kicks off our deep examination of this horrific case (which sparked the largest serial killer investigation in Canadian history), while simultaneously honoring the memory of the silenced victims. Because the tragedy of these "invisible" women extends beyond their brutal murders, as Robert Pickton further desecrated their remains by feeding them to the pigs on his farm.

EP55: OnlyFans Femme Fatale Mar 06, 2024

Courtney Clenney, better known as Courtney Tailor to millions of her followers and paying subscribers on social media, catapulted to fame with her seductive photos and explicit content on OnlyFans and Instagram. Yet, beyond this curated online persona, Courtney harbored an extremely volatile nature, as well as an alleged addiction to alcohol and recreational drugs. Deeply entwined in a toxic relationship with her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, Courtney is said to have been the driving force behind a severe pattern of intimate partner violence in which she perpetrated ongoing physical, emotional, psychological, and verbal abuse towards Christian. Their toxic relationship, marred by documented instances of overt violence and aggressive rage, reached a tragic climax in 2022 when Courtney decided to plunge a knife into Christian's body and watch as he bled to death. This devastating act of brutality not only claimed an innocent life in a horrific manner, but permanently pierced the veneer of Courtney's carefully crafted persona to reveal a truly disturbing perpetrator lurking beneath.

EP54: Chris Hansen: Interview with a Child Predator Catcher Feb 28, 2024

This week, we had the privilege of taking a seat with Chris Hansen, renowned television personality, investigative journalist, and esteemed advocate against child sexual abuse. Delving into his extensive career dedicated to the pursuit of justice, we explored the intricacies of apprehending child predators in the act, particularly amidst televised sting operations. Ever wondered how a grown man actually winds up getting busted casually walking into a (presumed) child's home prepared to perpetrate? Or what exactly unfolds both before and after the cameras start rolling? Our curiosity led us to seek answers firsthand, straight from an unparalleled source.

EP53: Lucha Libre Lady Killer Feb 21, 2024

Unveiling the story of Mexico's first documented serial killer, Juana Barazza, presents a narrative steeped in stark contrasts and harrowing realities. At the age of 48, this single mother's life was shadowed by a disturbing past filled with horrific childhood abuse and sexual exploitation. Juana's journey as an adult was a vivid study in contradictions: In the public eye, she was celebrated as "La Dama del Silencio" ("The Lady of Silence"), a formidable figure in the vibrant world of Lucha Libre wrestling. However, beneath the facade of her elaborate mask, a sinister truth lurked. Juana was a heartless assassin, implicated in the tragic deaths of nearly 50 elderly women. Despite her notable achievements in the wrestling arena, Juana Barazza's legacy is irreversibly tainted, overshadowed by the grim moniker "La Mataviejitas" (The Little Old Lady Killer).

EP52: Olympic Gold Murderer: The Case of Oscar Pistorius Feb 14, 2024

On Valentine's Day 2013, a truly devastating tragedy unfolded: Reeva Steenkamp, a 29-year-old South African former model, TV personality, and law graduate, adored for her vibrant spirit, was brutally gunned down in her boyfriend's bathroom. The scene that law enforcement encountered was one of stark and shocking contrast: beside Reeva's bloodied and broken form stood none other than global icon Oscar Pistorius, the internationally acclaimed Olympic and Paralympic sprinter. At 27-years-old, Pistorius, an athlete with both legs amputated below the knee, earned global acclaim as "The Blade Runner." His extraordinary athleticism and determination defied the odds and inspired millions worldwide. Yet, in this harrowing moment, Pistorius transformed in the public eye from a celebrated figure to a cold-blooded killer, ominously dubbed "The Blade Gunner." The case sent shockwaves around the world as people grappled with the horrifying descent of a beloved hero into an infamous murderer.

EP51: Guilty Until Proven Innocent Feb 07, 2024

Wrongful accusation and conviction is a living nightmare, a devastating storm of confusion, fear, and disbelief that tears at one's soul and destroys the human spirit. False accusations cut deep, transforming the world into an alien landscape where truth fades and your voice, crying out in innocence, is drowned out by the roar of judgment in a deeply flawed legal system. In the U.S., thousands suffer from wrongful convictions in a system where innocence, though fundamental, is often overshadowed. In this episode, we explore the tragic case of Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, a young woman who suffered a horrific rape, and the ensuing devastation when Ronald Cotton, an innocent man, was wrongfully convicted for this heinous crime. TRIGGER WARNING: Please note that we discuss the difficult topic of sexual assault and rape, and urge you to listen with caution.

EP50: Turn On the News, B*tch Jan 31, 2024

"The Joker," a pinnacle of cinematic villainy, has been an emblem of unadulterated chaos for nearly a century. This character is the very personification of turmoil and lawlessness, marked by a deranged psyche and a telltale, sinister smile. In a chilling parallel to this fictional entity, Jamie Osuna, a real-life criminal bearing a permanent smile tattooed on his face, manifested a similarly distorted moral compass and taste for destruction. Osuna reveled in orchestrating death and devastation and destroying the lives of those around him. While not explicitly emulating The Joker, Osuna's sadistic actions exhibited a similar level of unpredictability and malevolence. He was responsible for heinous acts of violence, including torture, homicide, dismemberment, and decapitation, and left a trail of horror reminiscent of the menacing essence of The Joker.

EP49: Pink Panty Predator Jan 24, 2024

In the early 1990s, the quiet town of Beelitz, Germany was haunted by a grotesque and horrifying figure known as “The Beast of Beelitz.” This serial killer preyed upon innocent and unsuspecting victims, and subjected them to unspeakable acts of violence before taking their lives. His depravity knew no bounds as he sought to fulfill his twisted desires, which did not end with his victims’ tragic deaths, but continued postmortem as he desecrated their bodies in unimaginably vile ways. Furthermore, “The Beast of Beelitz” added a deeply disturbing layer to his heinous acts by wearing women's underwear during these appalling crimes, and then intentionally evacuating his bowels to satisfy a perverse sexual fetish. Needless to say, “The Beat of Beelitz” went on to become one of the most gruesome serial killers in German criminal history.

Zack, a former soldier and war veteran, struggled with PTSD and addiction, a turbulent backdrop to his volatile relationship with Addie. Their story, which began as a whirlwind romance amidst the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, spiraled into a horrific conclusion. In October 2006, the already devastated city of New Orleans was hit by the discovery of Addie's heartbreaking and incredibly savage murder, which revealed a brutal act of violence, dismemberment, and potentially cannibalism.

EP47: Incest House of Horrors Jan 10, 2024

As we delve into the sensitive and taboo subject of incest, particularly focusing on a devastating father/daughter scenario in Poland, we face a complex and challenging aspect of victimology: when victims of abuse or trauma become perpetrators themselves. This scenario calls into question the cyclical nature of violence, the psychological impact of trauma, and how it can warp an individual's moral compass. In the unsettling case before us, marked by incest, abuse, and multiple homicides, the line between victim and perpetrator blurs, complicating our notions of empathy, accountability, and culpability. This case is a truly disturbing narrative that defies simple categorization and evokes a complex blend of horror, disgust, empathy, and confusion, while prompting a deep and emotional examination of the human psyche.

EP46: Dollhouse of Death Jan 03, 2024

Dolls, those eerie, lifeless figures designed to mimic human form, occupy a strange and unsettling place in our psyche, often stirring a blend of intrigue and fear. As rational adults, we typically view dolls as mere objects made of plastic, porcelain, or other synthetic materials. But...what if a doll was not made out of artificial elements? What if the doll was, in actuality, human? This horrifying case delves into the nightmarish world of a twisted 55-year-old Russian man named Anatoly Moskvin, who harbored a disturbing penchant for digging up and “immortalizing” dead children by turning them into dolls.

EP45: Nightmare On Christmas Dec 20, 2023

On what was meant to be a festive and joyous holiday on Christmas Day in 2010, Pierre and Jacqueline Bamu, a Congolese couple living in Paris, faced an unimaginable tragedy. Rather than unwrapping presents and opening boxes, they were confronted with the heartbreaking task of opening their 15-year-old son's coffin. This heart-wrenching tragedy unfolded when their precious son, Kristy, was discovered lifeless in the bathroom of his sister's apartment in London. Kristy's body bore the gruesome marks of extreme violence and cruelty, a grim testament to the horrors he endured over the course of three brutal days in his sister's apartment, which somehow turned into a nightmarish torture chamber. Unbelievably, Kristy's tragic fate did not result from the actions of an unidentified assailant or a random serial killer on the loose. Instead, he met an unimaginably cruel and shocking end at the hands of his own family, after they accused him of being a witch. This devastating case stands as one of the most appalling instances of child abuse ever documented in British history; we urge you to listen with caution.

EP44: Beaten and Battered Boyfriend Dec 13, 2023

The case of Alex Skeel highlights a gut-wrenching story of domestic abuse that unfolded in the UK. Alex, a young man in his teens/early twenties, suffered years of horrific physical, emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse at the hands of his depraved girlfriend, Jordan Worth. Alex sustained absolutely brutal physical injuries, psychological torment, and devastating isolation as Jordan wielded absolute control over every facet of his entire existence…until he almost ceased to exist entirely. Just ten days aways from death, Alex's profoundly disturbing case serves as a stark reminder of the often-overlooked plight of male victims within the realm of domestic violence. It compels us to confront the pressing need for greater awareness and understanding surrounding this issue, and underscores the vital importance of acknowledging and addressing all manifestations of abuse that can fester within intimate relationships.

EP42: Sex Parts: Severed and Stored Nov 29, 2023

In August of 1982, within the confines of a Hong Kong photo development shop, a gruesome sequence of images emerged from a roll of film. It began with a lifeless, naked woman sprawled on a plastic sheet atop a carpeted floor. However, as the film continued to develop, a macabre series of obscene pictures surfaced, featuring close-ups of the victim's intimate areas, cuts on her flesh, and what appeared to be a horrifying human dissection. The most haunting image, however, was the last one—a vivid portrayal of a severed, mutilated breast sitting beside a blood-soaked chainsaw. This is the chilling tale of Lam Kor-Wan, Hong Kong's first known serial killer, also known as "The Rainy Night Butcher," who meticulously destroyed, dissected, dismembered and preserved his victims' sexual organs in plastic containers beneath his bed. His horrific actions cemented Lam Kor-Wan as one of the most depraved individuals to have ever walked among us.

EP41: Medical Kidnapping and Ketamine Nov 22, 2023

Picture yourself as an innocent hospital patient, frail and in need, caught in a sinister dance with ostensibly well-intentioned healthcare professionals who suddenly cease to listen, to perceive you as an individual with a voice and autonomy. Instead, they ensnare you in a nightmarish bureaucratic nightmare fraught with trauma, isolation, and physical, emotional, and psychological pain. Now, place a 10-year-old girl grappling with a severe illness at the center of this chilling narrative. In this episode, we delve into the profoundly devastating case of Maya Kowalski, who was effectively medically kidnapped and confined within a Florida hospital, and barred from seeing her parents for months. The consequences of subjecting a child to such cruel and inhumane treatment were nothing short of catastrophic—for Maya and her entire family.

EP40: Beautiful Becky: Bound and Burned (with Alexis Linkletter, host of The First Degree and Unraveled) Nov 15, 2023

In this week's episode we are joined by special guest, true crime podcaster, writer, producer and on-camera talent, Alexis Linkletter.

In life's grand theater, none of us anticipates being thrust into the spotlight of a terrifying, real-life crime story. The thin line between safety and peril can vanish in a heartbeat, leaving any one of us susceptible to the unpredictable twists of fate and the insatiable appetite of a lurking predator. Tragically, the heartbreaking case of Becky Koster exemplifies this very concept. At the young age of 24, beautiful Becky encountered a depraved stranger while she was out at a bar with her friends one night on Long Island. Suddenly, Becky found herself at the center of the heartbreaking and absolutely brutal tale of her own murder. By examining forensic findings and the investigative efforts of multi-state law enforcement agencies, we delve deeply into this chilling case with the hope of illuminating Becky's life and, in turn, the lives of all victims of violence.

EP39: The Larry David Effect Nov 08, 2023

The episode presents a gripping tale of justice and perseverance, where an innocent man found himself entangled in a web of false accusations, gang-related drama, and police misconduct. Accused of murdering 16-year-old Martha Puebla, Juan Catalan's life took a terrifying turn in an unexpected direction that nearly led him to face a capital punishment trial. But the most astonishing turn in this narrative occurred when Juan's alibi for the night of the murder unexpectedly materialized in the form of Larry David, the acclaimed comedian and creator of "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." This case serves as a testament to the potency of truth and the far-reaching impact of the butterfly effect, demonstrating how a seemingly unrelated incident can have profound - and potentially devastating - consequences.

EP38: Bloodplay Dominatrix Nov 01, 2023

This episode presents a truly haunting case that delves deep into the dark recesses of human desire, where risky sexual behavior intersects with psychological depravity. It unearths a chilling narrative involving BDSM and "bloodplay," intertwining elements of niche sexual behaviors and violence within an ordinary suburban backdrop in Massachusetts. This outlandish case not only highlights the complexities of the perpetrator's unique sexual appetite, but also the terrifying ease with which she planned and executed a truly heinous crime against an innocent man. As we navigate the intricate web of this case, we explore topics relating to fetishism, criminal behavior, and mental health, all while remembering the innocent life taken by a truly disturbed individual.

EP37: Unholy Halloween Homicide Oct 25, 2023

The case of Sister Tadea Benz and Johnny Frank Garrett is a haunting chapter in legal history that unfolded on a chilling Halloween night in 1981 in Amarillo, Texas. Unfurling like a gripping saga of vengeance and justice, this heart-wrenching incident revolved around the savage slaying of Sister Tadea Benz, a cherished 76-year-old nun, and the alleged involvement of a 17-year-old perpetrator named Johnny Frank Garrett. Oscillating between dubious claims and the absence of concrete evidence, this case raised significant doubts concerning allegations of police and attorney misconduct, while also shedding light on the formidable influence of social hysteria, most notably, the Satanic Panic. Johnny Frank Garrett's swift conviction and subsequent death penalty sentence added an extremely dark layer to this complex and tragic story, and continues to raise haunting questions about guilt, innocence, and the blurred lines between justice and vengeance which still resonates today, decades after the final gavel fell.

EP36: California Cannibal Oct 18, 2023

In November 1991, the world was thrust into shock and disbelief as the gruesome details of a heinous crime unfolded before them. At the center of this horrifying tale stood Omaima Nelson, a former Egyptian-born model, whose appalling choices ultimately drew comparisons to notorious figures like Jeffrey Dahmer. On the heels of suffering unimaginable abuse and violence as a child, Omaima’s adult life was marked by a spectacle of dismemberment, cannibalism, and grotesque behavior that left both investigators and the public in a state of absolute disbelief. Intriguing, horrifying, and deeply unsettling, this disturbing case is considered one of the most gruesome crimes ever committed in Orange County, California.

EP35: True Crime Fanatic Gone Wild Oct 11, 2023

In the fascinating realm of true crime, the most chilling stories come to life to reveal the darkest facets of the human psyche. As true crime enthusiasts plunge into the murky depths of unsolved cases, cold-blooded killers, and criminal conspiracies, we embark on a captivating exploration of intrigue and mystery. But what happens when true crime content shifts from an abstract exploration to a sinister manual for someone seeking to execute the perfect crime? In this episode, we delve into the recent case of a woman in South Korea who immersed herself in true crime content before deciding to turn theory into practice. Transitioning from a mere observer to an active participant, this individual perpetrated a shockingly heinous act of violence after fully immersing herself in true crime content, and then casting herself as the sinister protagonist in her own chilling case.

EP33: What's Your Favorite Scary Movie? Sep 27, 2023

The tragic murder of 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart, often referred to as the "Scream Murder," centers around a terrifying "life imitating art" crime that occurred in Pocatello, Idaho in 2006. Cassie, who was known for her vivacity and zest for life, was house-sitting in a remote location on a September night when, unbeknownst to her, a diabolical plan was set in motion by two of her high school classmates. Driven by an obsession with violent films and a desire for notoriety, these ruthless teenage savages methodically devised and carried out an exceedingly violent murder, drawing inspiration from the movie "Scream" and documenting many of their sinister actions along the way. What transpired on that fateful September night was a harrowing and senseless act of brutality in which an innocent young girl, Cassie, fell victim to an unimaginably horrific death. Please listen with caution.

In the second installment of our two-part series delving into the depraved life of serial killer Israel Keyes, we turn our attention to the chilling escalation of this elusive "phantom psychopath." For years, he ran circles around law enforcement, ruthlessly and tragically selecting his victims at random with unparalleled precision and attention to detail. However, there came a point when this malevolent individual lost his meticulous touch and faltered after committing an unspeakable act of cruelty against a young woman working at an Alaskan coffee stand. At long last, Israel Keyes' reign of terror came to an end. And the FBI interrogation that transpired after his apprehension, coupled with the dramatic, enigmatic, and truly shocking final chapter, provided an absolutely outrageous conclusion to this horrific case.

EP31: Coffee, Candy, and Killing (Part 1) Sep 20, 2023

In the depraved world of serial killers, Israel Keyes stands out as a chilling enigma. While he may not be a trending household name like Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy, this self-proclaimed "hunter" of humans was once regarded by the FBI as one of the most terrifying individuals they had ever encountered. Keyes meticulously planned and executed a series of brutal murders across the United States, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and hidden horrors. Known for his unique ability to blend seamlessly into society, Keyes was a master manipulator whose crimes remained undetected for an entire decade. This cold-blooded predator's case continues to baffle investigators and offers a disturbing glimpse into the mind of a remorseless, highly organized, and efficient serial killer. Join us as we delve into the dark and complex world of Israel Keyes, a twisted man who proved that evil can lurk in plain sight.

EP30: Evil Orphan Imposter Sep 13, 2023

For many, the idea of family is often seen as a reliable wellspring of love and support. However, in the case of the Mauerova family from the Czech Republic, the concept of family takes a different turn. Instead of being a source of safety, comfort, and unconditional love, their family became a danger zone characterized by profound suffering, twisted perversion, and unfathomable torture. In today's case we explore a family shrouded in extraordinary secrecy, manipulation, control, and brutality. Their unique form of cruelty encompassed cults, confinement, cages, and even cannibalism, intertwined with elements of religious mysticism, delusions, and identity theft. There is A LOT to unpack with this case and many complex avenues to explore. Please listen to this episode with caution, as the subject matter is truly devastating and may be difficult to hear.

In the second installment of our two-episode coverage of this heartrending case, we delve into the cruel and shockingly recent actions of an ostensibly unremarkable woman, Lucy Letby, who perpetrated heinous crimes against the most vulnerable of all: newborn infants. We discuss possible motives behind Lucy Letby's heinous crimes, how she was caught, the trial that ensued, and where she is now. Additionally, we shine a light on those who deserve the utmost remembrance amidst the recent surge of media coverage: namely, the innocent victims and their families.

EP28: Nightmare Nurse: Lucy Letby (Part 1) Sep 06, 2023

For nearly a full year between June 2015 and June 2016, the neonatal unit at Countess of Chester Hospital in England was plagued by a series of heart-wrenching and inexplicable infant deaths at a rate that was not just alarming, but also statistically unusual and significant. Tragically, newborn baby fatalities and/or near-death collapses were occuring abruptly and often, and crucially, under the care and supervision of one young nurse named Lucy Letby. As the expression goes: once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern. Seventeen times (at least) is the work of the most prolific child serial killer in modern UK history.

EP27: Brazilian Dexter Aug 30, 2023

Pedro Rodrigues Filho, known as “The Brazilian Dexter,” was a real-life, self-proclaimed vigilante serial killer once referred to as the “perfect psychopath.” This ruthless individual ranks in the top 5 serial killers of all time globally, and by his own estimate was responsible for taking the lives of over 100 drug dealers, criminals, rapists, and murderers. While Pedro was undoubtedly brutal and capable of committing absolute atrocities against other men, he was often thanked, celebrated, and deemed morally righteous. This case provides a deep-dive into the outlandishly savage life and actions of a violent perpetrator (or vigilante, depending on who you ask) who served as the inspiration behind the media sensation/award winning character, Dexter Morgan.

EP26: Instagram Execution Aug 23, 2023

The realm of social media empowers us to effortlessly showcase our entire lives with a simple click of a button, especially through livestreaming capabilities. Horrifyingly, a sinister underbelly has emerged within the realm of livestreaming where some harness the expansive scope and viral capabilities of social media to disseminate hate and commit heinous acts of violence, exposing their depravity for all to see. Just one week prior to the recording of this episode, one person took center stage in this dark digital theater and contributed in the most reprehensible manner to the sickening upswing of livestreamed criminal activity. Indicating that he was going to present a “live execution” on Instagram, this nightmarish perpetrator committed an exceptionally brutal act of violence against an innocent woman who, tragically, met her demise in a manner that was both shockingly public and profoundly tragic.

EP25: It Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin Aug 16, 2023

In the 1980s, Gary Heidnik ran a church out of his home in Philadelphia with fifty devout congregants professing their unwavering loyalty. Flaunting multiple flashy cars and a considerable bank account accumulated through the contributions of his vulnerable devotees, this spiritual leader ensured that all adherents remained committed to his teachings and, crucially, perpetually subordinate. However, it was the tragic plight of a group of enslaved women kept in Heidnik’s basement beneath his church that would ultimately catapult this despicable individual into infamy, and would later serve as the perverse inspiration behind the notorious cinematic character Buffalo Bill from "The Silence of the Lambs." Heidnik subjected his female captives to the horrors of ongoing sexual enslavement, severe physical abuse, and twisted psychological torment. If you’ve seen the literal horror movie based on this tragic case, you might believe you are prepared for the extent of the moral corruption and depravity at play. However, we urge you to exercise discretion while listening, as the gruesome and heartbreaking acts addressed in this episode surpass any portrayal a Hollywood production could possibly convey. PLEASE LISTEN WITH CAUTION!

EP24: Womb Raider Aug 09, 2023

When a woman in Texas was pulled over for driving erratically, the state trooper on duty was shocked to discover a newborn baby laying across the lap of the distressed driver. The driver explained to the officer that she had just given birth in her car and required medical assistance right away. However, upon arriving at the hospital, it became shockingly evident that the woman's body did not display any indication whatsoever of having recently given birth. In a horrifying revelation, it was determined that the excessive blood covering the woman's skin and clothing had clearly come from someone else's body......as had the baby. This is the absolutely heinous case of death row inmate Taylor Renee Parker, also known as "The Womb Raider." PLEASE LISTEN WITH CAUTION: this case is both profoundly brutal and deeply heartbreaking.

EP23: Meth, Mutilation, and Minding Schabusiness Aug 02, 2023

Love can drive people to engage in some pretty outlandish behavior. So can meth. The convergence of these two potent elements in today’s case led to the absolutely tragic and brutal death of a 25 year old Wisconsin man named Shad Thyrion. The degree of horror in this case, ranging from decapitation to dismemberment, and the police being compelled to participate in a chilling scavenger hunt for missing body parts, makes it almost difficult to believe that such a heartbreaking reality could be true. Sadly, this atrocious crime was indeed committed by a woman named Taylor Schabusiness, who not only meticulously executed each heinous act detailed in this episode, but also claimed to have enjoyed it. Please listen with caution!

EP22: Pakistan's Jeffrey Dahmer Jul 26, 2023

Javed Iqbal is undeniably one of the most prolific and horrifying serial killers in history. Yet surprisingly, his name remains relatively unknown to many. This merciless individual managed to perpetrate unspeakable violence against 100 vulnerable children living on the streets of Lahore, Pakistan, with little notice from the authorities. Tragically, Javed subjected this powerless demographic of children to unthinkable brutality, whose plight went largely unnoticed until it quite literally wound up on the door of law enforcement. As we delve into the psychological and gruesome motivations behind Javed Iqbal's actions, we shed light on the young victims who were tragically considered "invisible" and unworthy of protection when they needed it the most. The only solace for some is the "eye for an eye" sentence that Javed Iqbal was ultimately given...

EP21: The Bonebreaker Jul 19, 2023

Transport yourself back to childhood for a moment and picture yourself asleep on the couch. The light from the TV is flickering behind your closed eyes and you're only vaguely aware, yet fully content with the fact that you're still on the couch rather than in your bed. Now imagine yourself being carried off the couch in the middle of the night by someone you assume to be your parent bringing you to your room, but then feel confused by the sudden and expected sight of outdoor surroundings. With concern growing, you look up at the person carrying you to realize.....it's a complete stranger. And a sadistic, cruel, psychopathic one at that.

This was the nightmarish reality that faced 13-year-old Thad Phillips in 1995 when he was abducted from his home in the middle of the night by one of the most depraved human beings to ever exist, Joe Clark. With a fetish for hearing the sound of bones cracking, Joe forced 13-year-old Thad to endure 43 hours of absolute hell so that he could indulge in his sick and twisted pleasure. This case is horrific and devastatingly gruesome (please listen with caution) but has a truly astounding outcome. Do not miss it!

EP20: "F*cked To Death By A Horse" with Mark Normand Jul 12, 2023

In this week's episode we are joined by special guest, comedian Mark Normand.

When a grown man with a ruptured colon, blue lips, and a fading pulse crawled through the doors of a hospital in Washington state, doctors immediately suspected foul play given the unique nature of his injury. Following this man's tragic death, an official investigation ensued, leading law enforcement to make a truly outlandish discovery. The man's colon had been ruptured by an extremely large penis that entered his body during a "niche" sex act. And while the well-endowed perpetrator was indeed responsible for causing his partner's death, he could not be held legally accountable in any jurisdiction under the existing legal frameworks. And that's because the perpetrator of this absolutely outrageous crime....was a horse.

We are delving into the highly disturbing and legally significant case of the Enumclaw horse sex ring. Brace yourself as we explore the intriguing and unsettling realm of taboo sexual paraphilias and the individuals who seek to engage in high-risk, and often criminal behavior to satisfy an incredibly unique sexual appetite.

EP19: High Heel Homicide Jul 05, 2023

While all acts of violence and cruelty directed at innocent individuals are condemnable, certain cases distinguish themselves as particularly macabre, even within the realm of the most heinous offenses. This case falls into that category. Jerry Brudos, an American serial killer and necrophiliac, developed an obsession with high heel shoes at a young age. The profound psychological harm inflicted upon him during his childhood by his cruel mother combined with his high heel fixation, ultimately drove Jerry Brudos to commit unspeakable acts of barbarity against innocent women. Earning himself the title “Shoe Fetish Slayer,” this individual is, without question, one of the most evil psychopathic killers we’ve explored to date. Prepare yourself...

EP18: Dismembered in the Desert Jun 28, 2023

When 15-year-old Mary Vincent stuck her thumb out along the side of a road in Berkley, California, her hope was to hitch a ride away from her strict parents towards a new beginning. Mary was positively thrilled when a grandfatherly looking man in a truck pulled up beside her and offered to drive her exactly where she wanted to go. But when the driver veered off route and instead drove Mary, who was suddenly now his captive, to a completely isolated desert in the pitch black of night, she knew in her gut that her life was in danger. And when her captor removed a hatchet from his toolkit, this young girl's life was forever, and irrevocably, altered in the most horrific of ways. Because the man who so kindly offered Mary Vincent a free ride just hours earlier was none other than Larry Singleton, more famously known as the "Mad Chopper." And the heinous acts of sexual violence and mutilation inflicted on this innocent teenage girl is truly what nightmares are made of. But incredibly, this story does not exactly end the way you might have expected it to. Do not miss this case....it is as miraculous as it is terrifying.

EP17: Influencer Gone Wild Jun 21, 2023

This headlining case of the England-based TikTok star Mahek Bukhari, which is being tried in court NOW (at the time in which this episode was recorded), is truly astonishing. The twists and turns involved in this outrageous case are mind-blowing and reveal the grave lengths that this social media figure has taken in order to preserve her spotlight on the global stage. We've all seen the tremendous reach that social influencers have today. It’s difficult to avoid their kitschy ads (pumpkin spiced latte in hand) pushing skincare products, weight loss supplements, detox teas, and the answer to all of our prayers. Whether through video reels, stories, posts or live streams, the public is inundated with social influencers trying to....well, influence us. And those who are able to do this successfully stand to make millions of dollars through brand sponsorships and advertisements. As such, the stakes are high and many would likely do whatever it takes to stay on top. Sadly, this notion was made abundantly clear by Bukhari who, in February of 2022, was involved in a double-homicide along with multiple other defendants, including her own mother. Two young lives were tragically lost in a horrific manner as a result of Bukhari's effort to bury some delicate information that stood to threaten, damage or even destroy her public image. We'll walk you through the facts of this case, the players involved, and the progress of the trial...because it is truly devastating. Stay current with us on this one and tune in to hear about an Influencer Gone Wild.

EP16: Mommy Is a Murderer Jun 14, 2023

To the outside world, Shelly Knotek presented like the perfect mother. She had three lovely daughters, cheerful family photos covering every wall of their farmhouse, and a glowing smile for anyone who glanced in her direction. But then, psychopaths are known to be master manipulators. Because Shelly's three lovely daughters were quite literally dying inside. The cheerful photos on the walls were stage props. And the smile that Shelly expertly presented was nothing more than a mask she wore to disguise a predatory grin. Shelly subjected her daughters, as well as many of their houseguests, to unrelenting physical violence, sexual abuse, psychological torture...and sometimes, death. Her goal was to humiliate her subjects in a variety of cruel and unusual ways, and to break them down in such a way that would enable her to maintain absolute power and control. Shelly was like a twisted puppetmaster out of a nightmare...and she was absolutely RUTHLESS. Check out this outrageous case, and please listen with caution!

EP15: Forgive Me Father, For I Have Killed Jun 07, 2023

Patrick Mackay, known as the Devil's Disciple, is one scary motherf*cker. Labeled a psychopath at age 15 (before ever even killing anyone), Patrick grew up to become one of the most prolific serial killers of all time in the United Kingdom. His rise to terror was riddled with bouts of domestic violence, cruel and unusual treatment of animals, burglaries, alcohol abuse, inadequate mental health treatment, and roast chicken. Patrick confessed to murdering thirteen people, including a priest, and was enthralled by Nazism. A real gem! Do not miss the brutal, tragic, and fascinating case of Britain's longest serving prisoner.

Some believe that love is the result of divine intervention, fate, or cosmic design. Others feel it has more to do with luck or sexy hormones. But the couple featured in this completely stomach-turning case feel that love has everything to do with sharing the same DNA. Yup. The romantic relationship that existed between 43 year old Steven (dad) and 20 year old Katie (daughter) is just one of the many, many shocking elements of this highly disturbing and incredibly tragic true crime case. Because first came love, then came marriage, then came triple-homicide, then came suicide.

There aren't enough words in the dictionary to adequately describe the horror that 17 year old Junko Furuta endured over the course of 44 days at the ruthless hands of her four captors (as well as 100 other people). In addition to enduring heinous forms of torture and humiliation, this poor young girl suffered through some of the most brutal forms of physical abuse and sexual violence we have ever come across. Our hearts break for Junko as the world remains enraged over the absolutely mindblowing legal outcome of this tragic case. We advise that you listen to this one with caution; but do not miss it. Junko Furuta's story deserves to be heard as we remember and honor her final, and outrageously brutal, days on earth.

EP12: Murder, Magic, and Witchy Viagra May 17, 2023

Parenthood is tricky. Do too much for your child, and you’re a helicopter parent; do too little, and your kid lacks sufficient support. Finding the right balance is an art…or in this case, witchcraft. Leonarda Cianciulli was a serial killer and black magic practitioner from Italy who devoted her entire life to protecting her son from a damning curse she truly believed would kill him. Can we really fault a mother for doing whatever she thinks it will take to save her child from evil? Yes, yes we can, because Leonarda’s depraved, immoral, and unlawful acts were (mis)guided by her belief in the “law of equivalent exchange;” that is, to save her son’s life, she'd have to take another life. Leonarda’s maternal drive led her directly towards a very sharp ax, ritualistic human sacrifice, and cannibalism.

EP11: "Don't Be Afraid [stab]...I'm Only A Little Kitty Cat" May 10, 2023

On May 31, 2014 in the backwoods of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls violently plunged a kitchen knife into their best friend nineteen times before leaving her alone to bleed out and die. The young assailants claimed that they were forced to murder "someone they loved" in order to prevent Slenderman - an evil, mythical, online urban legend - from harming their families. In an outrageous and heartbreaking act of premeditated brutality, three young lives were forever changed, causing a seismic shockwave to tear through the nation as people were forced to confront the dangers of the Internet and the frightening capabilities of two children unable to determine fact from fiction.

EP10: Feed me. F*ck me. Kill me. May 03, 2023

The perfect true crime case highlighting the complex and dark nature of the human psyche doesn’t exi— Yes, yes it does exist, and you’ve just landed on it. This fascinating case centers around an individual who meticulously choreographed her own murder for the ultimate (and final) sexual experience. Sharon Lopatka was both perpetrator and victim, predator and prey. She was one of the first people to capitalize on a new information system known as the World Wide Web, and mastered how to use it for both monetary and personal gain. Sharon created multiple aliases and joined various online fetish forums to satisfy all of her incredibly unique, and dangerous, sexual needs. From her desire of being force fed and cannibalized to posing as a 300 pound disciplinarian dominatrix offering to crush men like bugs, this case is as disturbing as it is tragic.

EP09: Toy Box Killer: Sadistic Sex Scientist (Part 2) Apr 26, 2023

In Part 1 of this gruesome case, we were introduced to the Toy Box Killer and to some of the ways in which he tortured his victims inside a soundproof, escape-proof cargo trailer (known as the "toy box") kept on his property in Elephant Butte, New Mexico. Alarmingly, what we’ve heard until this point has only scratched the surface. Part 2 of this case explains, in full detail, all of the additional (and disturbing) ways in which the Toy Box Killer continued to escalate his level of depravity while bringing in a VERY twisted female accomplice to help exact his brutality. The barbarity displayed inside the "toy box" is matched only by the bravery and strength seen in some of the survivors, whose courageous pursuit of justice helped to finally intercept the heinous reign of the Toy Box Killer. You will not believe how this case wraps up.

EP08: Toy Box Killer: Sadistic Sex Scientist (Part 1) Apr 19, 2023

David Parker Ray, more famously known as the Toy Box Killer, fancied himself a highly skilled sexual scientist who would abduct women (thereafter referred to as “pretty pieces of meat”) before inflicting upon them immeasurable pain through sexual experimentation and inhumane torture. First, he would psychologically break down his victims. Then, he would violently assault them inside a soundproof trailer referred to as his “toy box,” using various implements of torture while carefully documenting, filming, and cataloging his observations. There are so many elements to this twisted case that we’ve organized it into two episodes. Please listen with caution - this case is truly what nightmares are made of.

Bonus Episode 1: Lorena Bobbitt - Castration Queen Apr 15, 2023

When news of this case first emerged, the main star was a missing severed penis. The supporting role of this highly disturbing saga was played by Lorena Bobbitt, a knife-wielding lunatic who castrated her husband in a fit of jealousy and rage. Every headline, talk show, comedian and reporter characterized Lorena as being every man’s worst nightmare, and the frightening face of fickle females everywhere. But the TRUE story behind the infamous penis dismemberment case is far more complex and upsetting than was originally acknowledged. This is the story of a young immigrant woman who suffered domestic abuse and persistent marital rape, had no escape in sight, and finally snapped (or sliced, as it were).

You’d probably first Google “vorarephilia” and then after that, we'd urge you to press play on this absolutely mental case.

We don’t like those people. But never compare your insides with someone else’s outsides, because while Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka (aka Ken and Barbie) seemed to have it all, this relationship could not have been more dysfunctional…or dangerous. We don’t want to give details in the description because it might get flagged, but the circumstances of this case will take your breath away.

EP01: Meet Me at the Slaughterhouse Mar 14, 2023

Hans Schmidt wasn’t necessarily set up for success. Whether being forced to perform Catholic masses in a homemade frock by his overbearing mother in Germany, or meeting his buddy at the local slaughterhouse to engage in mutual masturbation, it’s fair to say that Hans had a turbulent and unusual childhood. Even after relocating to New York City years later and becoming an ordained Catholic priest IRL, Father Hans Schmidt continued to live an absolutely insane and less-than-holy existence. When dismembered body parts wrapped in butcher paper started washing up on the Jersey Shore with links to this disturbed man of the cloth, detectives began to unravel one of the most demented psyches they’d ever seen. And don’t even get us started on what Father Hans Schmidt did with the chicken head...
