Episode 213 - Inner Demons - The Crimes of Glen Race Apr 28, 2024

Show notes

Halifax, Nova Scotia regularly shows up on lists of Canada’s friendliest cities. Its East Coast charm and colorful maritime houses often lull visitors into thinking time moves more slowly there.
But in 2007, it was the starting point for a cross-country killing spree. Glen Race had just received a mission from God and unfortunately for the people of Halifax, he was deeply in the grips of a schizophrenic delusion.

Episode 212 - Double Trouble - When a Twin's Envy Turns Deadly Apr 21, 2024

Show notes

The concept of an "evil twin" is something that’s fascinated and terrified human beings for millenia: a twin or doppelgänger who embodies the polar opposite of a person.
It’s a trope that’s appeared throughout recorded history. In mythology, literature, and even the bible.
But while it’s often used as a literary device and often a bad one at that…has it ever actually happened in the real world?

Show notes

Ever heard the phrase “If you give an inch, they’ll take a mile?”
In 2017, a wealthy doctor in his 70s met a young, beautiful model on the verge of homelessness. Wanting to help her out, he began paying her rent. She quickly began asking for more and more…and more.

Episode 210 - Selfie Slayer - The Case of Amanda Taylor Apr 07, 2024

Show notes

Imagine stepping out to your mailbox one morning, only to discover an envelope addressed to you from a notorious serial killer who has been locked away since the 80s.
Inside the envelope, you're relieved not to find any grisly mementos; but instead find a birthday card for your infant child along with a handwritten message complimenting you on your beautiful family.
Some might argue that such a message would be just as horrifying as receiving a severed finger or lock of hair. Either way, for most people, receiving anything in the mail from a serial killer would be abnormal.

Episode 209 - Honeymoon Hijacking - The Murder Of Anni Dewani Mar 31, 2024

Show notes

A newlywed couple’s honeymoon is supposed to be the happiest time of their lives - their first chance to introduce themselves as spouses to the world. Embarking on a journey of love, adventure, and discovery together.
Comedian Mike Binder described Honeymoons as “A short period of doting between dating and debting” It's one of those things that’s funny because for many of us…it’s true
One way to avoid the “debt” part, of course, is to marry a millionaire. Which is exactly what Swedish citizen Anni Dewani had done, in the fall of 2010.

Episode 208 - Doctor Of Death - A Serial Killer In Omaha Mar 24, 2024

Show notes

Throughout the early 2000s, there was a particular man who believed he’d been severely wronged: treated unfairly and unjustly by a certain group of people….
Day after day, these perceived offenses continued eating away at him and he constantly blamed others for everything wrong in his life, which had fallen into utter shambles.
Ultimately consumed by his rage, he decided to take revenge against everyone he believed had done him wrong. And it was no shortlist.

Show notes

Sometimes you meet the most fascinating people on vacation. You just never know who you might encounter. People from different cultures, possible future lifelong friends, or even someone famous.
There’s also that chance of even meeting that special someone.
In January 2002, a young German photographer named Janina was on holiday in Cancun, Mexico.
She’d been enjoying the sand, surf and sun when she was introduced to someone famous. Michael Finkel, an award-winning feature writer for The New York Times Magazine.

Episode 205 - Unmasking the Monster - Chicago Serial Killer Paul Runge Mar 04, 2024

Show notes

Police in the Chicago suburbs were stunned in 1995 when a family dog brought home a severed human left leg and then again, five days later another leg.
Over several months, numerous body parts from the same victim would be discovered scattered along the border between Wisconsin and Illinois. Whoever had done this, had gone through painstaking efforts to dispose of their victim.
