Massimo Bossetti Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

13-year-old Yara Gambirasio went missing in Italy one night after walking to a gym less than half a mile from her house. Her body was found three months later in a field just a few miles away. Investigators found male DNA on her body but couldn’t find a match.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Massimo Bossetti. The police were determined to find Yara's killer, and they began the most extensive DNA testing program in Italian history. It took three years and almost 20,000 DNA samples, but they eventually found Yara’s killer. But, it was the way they did it that makes this case so fascinating. They didn't get a hit from a database. They started with familial DNA and had to wade through the history of an affair that shook multiple families to the core.

Lionel Tate Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

Lionel Tate was 12 years old when he was charged with the murder of his six-year-old neighbor Tiffany Eunick. At the age of 14, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole for first-degree murder. Lionel said that Tiffany was hurt as they were playing. But, experts testified that her injuries were consistent with someone who had fallen three stories.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the bizarre story of Lionel Tate. Lionel Tate is believed to be one of the youngest Americans, if not the youngest, to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. It later came out that Lionel's mother and his defense attorney were instrumental in him declining a plea agreement where he would have served only three years in a juvenile facility. This case reignited the debate on how the criminal justice system should try and sentence juveniles charged with serious crimes.

Matthew Breck Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

In September 1998, 10-year-old Anna Palmer was murdered outside her home in Salt Lake City after walking home from a friend’s house. There were reports of a strange man harassing young girls in her neighborhood, but no arrests were made. Over a decade later, advancements in DNA testing finally identified Anna’s killer, a dangerous criminal who was already in prison for another crime against a child.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss killer Matthew Breck. Breck was 19 years old when he murdered Anna Palmer in 1998, but he got away with it for over a decade. Skins cells under Anna's fingernails were finally matched to Breck, who was in prison on a 10-year-old sentence for a crime against a child under 16. As it turned out, Breck lived only a block from Anna back when she was killed, but police never even talked to him.

Mary Keenan O'Connor Part 2 Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

In part one of the Mary Keenan O’Connor case, we discussed Mary’s early life and the murder of 5-year-old Nancy Glenn. Mary confessed to accidentally hitting Nancy in a fit of rage, but she refused to sign the confession. She denied putting Nancy face down in a mud puddle.

In this episode, we’ll discuss the verdict of Mary’s murder trial and the remainder of her life and crimes.

Join Mike and Gibby as they finish up the Mary O'Connor story. People were shocked at the jury's verdict at Mary's trial. There were accusations of bad police work and juror misconduct. But, Mary was free to live her life, and she married and had children. 30 years later, Mary became embroiled in a murder mystery again when a wife and mother was murdered, and two young children were severely beaten. Could Mary O'Connor beat another murder wrap?

Olga Ruttschmidt and Helen Golay are two female serial killers who operated in California. At the time of their arrest in 2008, Helen Golay was 75, and Olga Rutterschmidt was 73.

Show notes

In July 1999 two best friends set off for a cross-country road trip together. After a camping trip in the New Mexico desert went horribly wrong, one of them didn’t survive. Raffi Kodikian told the park ranger who came to his rescue that he killed his best friend because he thought they were dying of dehydration. Investigators didn’t believe his story and charged him with murder.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Raffi Kodikian and the murder of David Coughlin. These two guys were the best of friends. Even investigators working for the prosecution said that when they interviewed people who knew them. Raffi always maintained that David asked Raffi to kill him.

The authorities had a hard time believing things played out as Raffi said they did but as one official said, "you don't get to kill someone in New Mexico even if they ask you to."

Tsutomu Miyazaki Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Tsutomu Miyazaki is one of the most heinous serial killers in Japanese history. Miyazaki had a terrible childhood filled with neglect and bullying which caused him to retreat into his own fantasy world. But, Miyazaki's fantasy world consisted of the darkest of dark material. He killed four innocent children as he acted out his depraved fantasies of blood lust, cannibalism, and necrophilia.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss an absolutely terrible human being in Tsutomu Miyazaki. His is a case that brings up the questions of nature vs. nurture and what causes an individual to commit these types of acts. Miyazaki claims that his alter ego, Rat Man, was at fault and that he had to obey his commands. Can you really trust the words of a man like Tsutomu Miyazaki whose line between fantasy and reality was so blurred?
