Episode 117 - The Unsuspecting Tourists Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

One of the best things about traveling is getting to meet new and interesting people along the way. But just how much do you really know about the guy sitting two rows behind you on the plane… or the person offering to split a taxi with you?
In this whirlwind episode, you'll hear about three unsuspecting tourists who suddenly disappeared without a trace. That is until their body parts started showing up in Singapore and Thailand. The perpetrator - a fugitive who'd mastered butchery skills in prison.

Episode 116 - Sarah Everard Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

In March 2021, London along with the rest of England was under a full national lockdown in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. An unusual mix of boredom, fear, and frustration permeated the country as it grappled with the ever-changing rules and restrictions.
The entire world it seemed, was just waiting for things to go back to normal.
But there was one man who didn’t see these once-in-a-lifetime circumstances as an obstacle - instead, he saw in them - a depraved opportunity to turn locked-down London into his own personal hunting ground.

Episode 115 - Til Death Do Us Part Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

Ben and Narcy Novak's marriage was held together by mutually-assured destruction. He had all the money. She had all the dirt.
Ben Jr. Novack had it all - wealth, influence, and a thriving convention business that made him millions each year. He was also the son of one of the world’s most successful hoteliers. But none of that would protect him from a gruesome death at the hands of the person he should have trusted the most. A wife who took her vows of “til death do us part” to a whole new twisted and sadistic level, stopping at nothing to make sure that if she couldn’t have him, no one could.

Episode 114 - Kathleen McGehee Oct 24, 2021

Show notes

Halloween is without a doubt considered the spookiest time of year.
It’s the time of year when we binge watch all of the horror classics, sure to induce a good jump scare - like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. There are also those other classics that take us to a much darker place - like Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen, where we question the existence of demons.
For one young man in the town of Manteca, California, there came a time where he didn’t just question the existence of demons - he believed he was actually seeing them.

Episode 111 - The Gainesville Murders Sep 12, 2021

Show notes

August 1990 - It was the beginning of a new academic year for University of Florida students. Thousands of young people, brimming with anticipation. Excited for new beginnings, classes, friends, and of course, football games.
But that summer there was someone new in the picturesque college town. Someone watching students through their bedroom windows at night, waiting for just the right moment to strike.

Episode 110 - J.P. & The Hawks Aug 29, 2021

Show notes

Imagine sitting on the back deck of a yacht, soaking up Pacific sunshine off the coast of Mexico with a cold Margarita in one hand, and the love of your life in the other. No more work - just the pure bliss of retirement and endless summer. Swimming with dolphins at sunset in the Sea of Cortez.
A beach in every bay, and a party in every port.
This was the life of Tom and Jackie Hawks in 2004. It was the kind of life everyone dreams of...The kind of life a person would just kill to have.

Episode 109 - Runaway Devil - The Tragedy In Medicine Hat Aug 15, 2021

Show notes

In April 2006, Marc and Debra R. were planning a summer vacation from their home in Alberta Canada to Ontario. The year before had been tiresome dealing with their preteen daughter J.R.'s rebellious behavior. They hoped a getaway might help reconnect them.
But their daughter wasn’t as keen about the trip as they were. In fact, she had something more sinister planned.

Show notes

On November 21st, 1987 in Holland Michigan, newlyweds Rick and Gail Brink had just returned to their peaceful country home on Ransom street after attending another couple's wedding reception. Although the house was a work in progress, Rick and Gail looked forward to eventually creating a lifetime of memories there. Tragically it was a future they’d never share.
