#244 The Tale of Sandra Orellana: Accident, Suicide or Murder? Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

The 1996 Death Of 27-Year-Old Sandra Orellana Who Fell From Her 8th Floor Hotel Balcony While On A Business Trip In Industry, California
Sandra Orellana was a worker's compensation specialist at a staffing company based in Houston, Texas called Skillmaster. In November of 1996, she joined company executive Robert Salazar on a business trip to California. After an evening of drinking and dancing, Sandra went back to her hotel room and fell to her death 8 stories sometime in the middle of the night. Initially, detectives thought it was a suicide since nobody called 911 until several hours later when another hotel guest discovered her early the next morning. That is until they found out Sandra wasn't alone when she went over that railing. It is a mystery that persists to this day - how did Sandra end up falling to her death? Did she do it to herself? Did someone do it to her? Was it a tragic accident? Listen for yourselves to see if you think you know the answers.

#241 The Tale of the 'Little Zapples': Edmund Kemper, III Oct 28, 2022

Show notes

A Halloween Special: Serial Killers Who Inspire Horror Films - The Life And Crimes Of Edmund Kemper, III
**WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC DETAILS INVOLVING SEXUAL VIOLENCE, HOMICIDAL VIOLENCE AND ANIMAL CRUELTY. LISTENER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED**
Is a serial killer born that way or does he get made that way? For Edmund Kemper, it could quite have possibly been the later. Edmund had mom issues of epic proportions, to a point that some would attribute his horrifying acts as having been directly a result of the way his mother berated and humiliated him his entire life. Edmund's hatred for his mother spilled over into a hatred towards women that sent him on a mission to kill as many as he could - until he finally eliminated the one woman in the world he hated the most. Only then would Edmund feel everything was finally right with the world.

They started dating and as their relationship grew, Alphonze discovered he had feelings for Britani he didn't realize existed. Soon, Alphonze began to blame this old friend for coming in between his close friendship with Britani and decided that the only way to get her back was to somehow eliminate him.
