    Show notes

    In the 2010s, Omaha man Dave Kroupa was terrorized by thousands of harassing messages, acts of vandalism, and arson, all seemingly from a woman named Cari Farver, who had vanished without a trace.

    Liz Golyar: Obsession, Stalking, and Murder Pt. 1 Sep 07, 2026
    Show notes

    In 2012, Omaha mechanic Dave Kroupa met Liz Golyar on a dating app... a connection that would spiral into years of relentless stalking, arson, and murder. And when Dave began seeing Cari Farver, she vanished overnight, and a torrent of threatening messages began arriving in her name. As the harassment escalated from digital terror to a house fire, investigators slowly realized the truth was far darker than a bitter ex.

    Show notes

    In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Ivan Milat lured at least seven young backpackers into Belanglo State Forest in Australia, where he stabbed, shot, and buried them in isolation he believed would protect him forever. A survivor's testimony, victim belongings kept as trophies, and forensic link analysis ultimately led investigators to his door...and a jury delivered seven unanimous guilty verdicts.

    SERIAL KILLER: "The Backpacker Murderer" Ivan Milat Pt. 1 Aug 31, 2026
    Show notes

    Ivan Milat grew up in a volatile Sydney household surrounded by weapons, abuse, and fourteen siblings. By his teens, he was already hurting animals, and allegedly... people. After a series of robberies, a sexual assault, and a faked suicide, Milat walked free from every charge and used steady road work to move unseen through Australia's most isolated stretches of highway. This episode traces how years of escaping consequences shaped one of Australia's most terrifying serial killers.

    Campus Crimes: The Murder of Patrick Dennehy Aug 30, 2026
    Show notes

    The fourth and final episode of Campus Crimes examines the 2003 murder of Baylor basketball player Patrick Dennehy, who was shot and killed by his own teammate... but the crime that followed may have been even colder. Head coach Dave Bliss, facing exposure for recruiting violations, launched a calculated scheme to brand Dennehy a drug dealer after his death, recorded in his own words on a hidden tape. One young assistant coach risked everything to stop it.

    Shelly Michael: Nurse, Wife, and Killer Pt. 2 Aug 27, 2026
    Show notes

    In November 2005, Morgantown, West Virginia, pediatric nurse practitioner Shelly Michael injected her sleeping husband Jimmy with a surgical paralytic, then set their home ablaze to conceal the crime. What investigators found —a body without soot in its lungs, a secret affair, and a controlled medication only she could access — built an airtight case against a woman her community trusted completely.

    Campus Crimes: The Murder of Betsy Aardsma Aug 23, 2026
    Show notes

    The third episode of Campus Crimes follows the events of the Friday after Thanksgiving 1969, when 22-year-old graduate student Betsy Aardsma was stabbed through the heart in the basement stacks of Penn State's Pattee Library, surrounded by people, in broad daylight, and dead within minutes. A man walked calmly out of the stacks, said five words, and vanished; no one was ever charged. Decades of institutional silence, a scrubbed crime scene, and a suspect who died before investigators assembled the full picture left her family without justice.

    SERIAL KILLER: The Monster of Florence Pt. 2 with Alexis Linkletter from Crimes of Reddit Aug 20, 2026
    Show notes

    For this episode, Vanessa and Dr. Engels are joined again by Alexis Linkletter, co-hose of Crime House's newest show Crimes of Reddit. Between 1968 and 1985, a killer known as the Monster of Florence murdered eight couples on remote roads outside Florence, Italy, leaving behind chilling physical evidence and no clear culprit. Despite decades of investigation, multiple arrests, and shocking courtroom twists, no one was ever conclusively identified as the sole perpetrator. Forensic analysts are still examining DNA evidence today, and the case remains officially unsolved.

    SERIAL KILLER: The Monster of Florence Pt. 1 with Alexis Linkletter from Crimes of Reddit Aug 17, 2026
    Show notes

    For this episode, Vanessa and Dr. Engels are joined by Alexis Linkletter, co-hose of Crime House's newest show Crimes of Reddit. In 1968, a young couple was shot dead in the Italian countryside while their six-year-old son slept in the back seat: a crime that quietly launched one of Italy's most haunting serial killing sprees. For over a decade, a gunman stalked couples parked in remote areas outside Florence, leaving behind little evidence and a signature pattern of brutal mutilation. When investigators finally linked the crimes through a single .22-caliber Beretta pistol, the trail led back to that very first murder.
