#329 - The Warlock Test - Eyota, Minnesota Oct 23, 2022

Show notes

This week, in Eyota, Minnesota, a group of young, drifting restaurant workers form what they call a "family". All of this around a guy they call the "High Priest", who leads this little group, in both physical aggression, and some sort of alleged dark powers. This all comes together on Halloween weekend, following the gifting of deadly knife, and a near murder, or two. By the conclusion of the night, we end up with the horribly mutilated body of a "family" member, complete with odd carvings, and all fingers pointing at the victim's friends. Will a particularly paranoid book on the occult make the court case a sham??

Along the way, we find out that there isn't a lot to do in western Connecticut, that just because you have your own followers doesn't make you a high priest of anything, and if someone tells you that it's time for you to do "the warlock test"... RUN!!

#328 - Is Granny A Psychopath? - Barkhamsted, Connecticut Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

This week, in Barkhamsted, Connecticut, when a woman is found, beyond murdered, the only suspect appears to be her mother in law, a physically weak older woman, who has been in and out of mental hospitals for years. But could she have actually done all the horrible things that have happened? When another suspect emerges, the detectives begin to fight each other, over the differing theories. It turns into a mess of theories, conspiracies, and stupidity. Will whoever is responsible be uncovered, or will a seriously sick, twisted killer continue to walk the streets??

Along the way, we find out that the northeast is REALLY into haunted houses, that grandmas don't usually beat their victims so severely that an eye pops out, and that sometimes, evidence is more important than ego!!

#327 - Beer, Sex & Jealousy - Albia, Iowa Oct 15, 2022

Show notes

This week, in Albia, Iowa, a hard drinking pair of distant cousins drink themselves silly, for an entire day, then decide to pick up an ex-girlfriend, and keep the party going. But when the ex-girlfriend turns her affections toward the wrong cousin, the two men take a ride, to discuss their issue. Next thing you know, someone is bleeding out, and a multi county manhunt starts! The excuses for the murder range from ridiculous to preposterous, while he tries to squirm his way out of it! A truly weird & unnecessary killing!!

Along the way, we find out that even the dust is explosive in Iowa, that 60 beers, and an ex-girlfriend are a bad mix, and that you shouldn't say that you're about to kill someone, if you want to say it wasn't premeditated!!

#326 - Pictures Of Fear - Donalsonville, Georgia Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

This week, in Donalsonville, Georgia, a strange group of dangerous people escape from a work camp, and end up on a rural farm, looking for gas & money to head to Mexico, in order to "live the good life". Instead, they come upon a large, hardworking, church going, teetotaling farm family, and what happens is as cold blooded, systematic, and heartless a slaughter, as this area has ever seen. Complete with disturbing photos taken with the victim's own camera. And that's only where it begins, as the ring leader proves to be a truly evil person, complete with crazy, unremorseful quotes, including claiming many more murders... It's as crazy as it gets!!

Along the way, we find out that hard work can sometimes get you even more hard work, that a judge & prosecutor probably shouldn't be related, and that some people actually compete to be the most evil!!

#325 - The Devil's Gift - Alvo, Nebraska Oct 08, 2022

Show notes

This week, in Alvo, Nebraska, when a home is found, engulfed in flames, everyone thinks that the couple who lived there must be burned to cinders. But when only one of them is found, wrapped in a blanket, and mutilated, beyond reason, a search is on for an answer. The answer isn't very difficult to find because the killer fully admits to what he's done, but has a very unique excuse, involving the devil, strangely placed imaginary babies, and keeping certain parts of the victim because "they would have wanted him to have it"! This is wall to wall wild!!

Along the way, we find out that Nebraska loves their testicles, that the devil generally doesn't leave babies for you, inside of host bodies that he has possessed, and when you murder someone, they don't want you to have any of their body parts!!

#324 - Dissecting An Alien Vampire - Framingham, Massachusetts Oct 06, 2022

Show notes

This week, in Framingham, Massachusetts, an upstanding, successful suburban couple appear to have it all. Great jobs, money in the bank, and a beautiful home, in a safe, leafy neighborhood. They appear to be on top of the world, until one night, the combination of burnt baked ziti, and an apparent invasion of body swapping enemy space alien vampires, who need to be thwarted, cause chaos to reign in this otherwise serene home. The murder is unimaginably horrible, giving even the investigators nightmares, for years to come. But will anyone believe the alien vampire stuff, or will this just go down as one of the sickest, most depraved acts in history??

Along the way, we find out that Massachusetts is a little bit expensive, that even going to the best schools doesn't mean you're not a violent maniac, and that if you ever see an enemy space alien vampire, don't kill it!!

#323 - Grumpy Violent Old Men - Shawnee Township, Ohio Oct 01, 2022

Show notes

This week, in Shawnee Township, Ohio, a strange relationship exists between two older brothers, who live together, and seem to have an ongoing feud. One has a history of arrests for violence, and the other has a history of being hospitalized for mental illness. Perhaps inevitably, this ends in a most horrific, and violent murder, leaving one of the brothers full of holes, with a rope around his wrist, and a remote control trapped underneath him. The offending brother has a seriously weird story to tell police, as he tries to justify his actions. Super crazy, from start to finish!

Along the way, we find out that men don't age peacefully in the same house, that it's hard to claim self defense when the other party is reclining, and that if you want a lawyer, you should ask for a lawyer!!

#321 - Sins Of The Stepfather - Lemmon Valley, Nevada Sep 25, 2022

Show notes

This week, in Lemmon Valley, Nevada, when a teenage girl is last seen, riding into the hills on horseback, no one knows what could have happened. No one, except either her stepfather, or maybe two hillbillies, living in a makeshift shack, with crude drawings of dead girls, and women made out of electrical tape. Things quickly unravel, when ripped up pieces of paper are reconstructed by detectives to reveal a diary that uncovers a sick & twisted relationship that could have led to this. It's a real mystery, and one strange & crazy story!!

Along the way, we find out that most of northern Nevada is made up of trailer parks, that some things are just as bad to admit as murder, and that sometimes things don't always end up the way we thought they would!!

#320 - Nightmare At The Pig Farm - Mio, Michigan Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

This week, in Mio, Michigan, two long time friends head out from Detroit, to a hunting cabin, deep in the north woods, for weekend of beer drinking, and sitting in the woods. Along the way, they get lost, and end up in several very small town bars, drinking, and angering some locals. When the pair disappear of the face of the earth, police have no clue what happened to them, until a tale of a set of brothers who terrorize the local people, and threaten to feed them to the pigs. Not to mention the unnavigable maze of their family tree, where everyone is married to everyone, and they all seem to be cousins! It's a twisted, bloody mystery!!

Along the way, we find out that some parts of Michigan can definitely be mistaken for West Virginia, that just because there aren't any bodies, doesn't mean there wasn't any murders, and that when you have to blurt out obscene denials about you, and sexual liaisons with livestock, you're in trouble!!
