Marc Dutroux Part 1 Apr 11, 2022

Show notes

Marc Dutroux was a Belgian serial killer and child rapist. In 1989 Dutroux was convicted of five sexual assaults and sentenced to thirteen years in prison. He only served three years. Over the next four years, he kidnapped and raped young girls, some of whom he murdered. He had several accomplices, including his own wife. The case led to speculation about inefficiency and corruption in Belgian law enforcement and politics. The public denounced the police for failing to pursue leads and ignoring witnesses.

Join Mike and Gibby for part 1 of their discussion on Marc Dutroux. This remains one of Belgium’s most notorious criminal trials. Marc Dutroux’s crimes against children shocked the country. The public despised him so much that over a third of Belgians with the last name Dutroux legally changed their names. There was further outrage at the conduct of judges and prosecutors in the case. In part one of the Marc Dutroux episodes we’ll discuss his early life and crimes, his known victims, how he was finally arrested, and shocking witness testimony.

Billy Justin Charles Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

On August 7th, 1996 18-year-old Jamie Weiss was found dead in a bathtub in her home in Magna, Utah. Jamie didn’t drown. She died from asphyxiation and blunt force trauma. Eleven years later, her former fiancee Billy Justin Charles was arrested and convicted of her murder.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the case of Billy Charles. On appeal, his conviction was overturned, but he took a plea deal instead of going to trial a second time. Jamie’s case is officially closed and a killer was charged, but Billy insists he didn’t murder his fiancee. So many questions remain in this case. Did Billy Charles really murder Jamie and did he take a plea deal just to take out the uncertainties of another murder trial? Or, was Billy Charles a murderer who beat the system using its own rules?

Saeed Hanaei Mar 28, 2022

Show notes

Saeed Hanaei was an Iranian serial killer who murdered sixteen women in 2000 and 2001. He targeted female sex workers who were vulnerable and had no legal protection. Saeed Hanaei murdered for religious reasons. He believed that God had given him a personal mission to cleanse the city of what he thought to be “impure” people.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Iranian serial killer Saeed Hanaei. A very disturbing fact of the case is that Hanaei felt absolutely no remorse for what he did, and said that if he hadn’t been caught, he never would have stopped killing these women. Also, there were many in Iran who actually supported what Hanaei did. Even his wife and son, who had no prior knowledge of his murders, supported his actions after they came to light.

Nannie Doss Mar 14, 2022

Show notes

When the crimes of Nannie Doss came to light the press gave her nicknames like "The Giggling Granny" and "The Jolly Widow." This was due to Nannie's behavior towards the police and in the courtroom. She acted like everything was a game. The truth was much more severe because Nannie Doss was a serial killer who police believe may have killed as many as 14 people.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss serial killer Nannie Doss. Nannie killed in a variety of ways but she preferred poison. She murdered many husbands because, as she later said, she was looking for that perfect mate. She used life insurance money from murders to aid her on that journey. But, Nannie Doss also killed some within her own family including her mother and some of her children and grandchildren.

The Murder of Mark Stover Feb 28, 2022

Show notes

In 2009 Mark Stover’s professional life was thriving. He owned a successful dog-training business, he worked for famous clients, and he was known as “The dog whisperer of the pacific northwest.” At the same time, his personal life was falling apart.

She feared for her life, but in a shocking turn of events, Mark was murdered.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the strange and baffling murder of Mark Stover. There's no doubt that Mark's ex-wife Linda Opdycke was afraid of him. She started taking self-defense classes, purchased a number of firearms, and took her concerns to the Sheriff. Then, she met a man named Michiel Oakes and the two fell in love. Michiel Oakes shot and killed Mark Stover, but, the reason that he did it was at issue. Michiel admitted to killing Mark Stover but said that he did so in self-defense. How would the jury see it?

The robbers murdered 13 people. If it weren’t for one surviving witness, the killers might have gotten away with it.

They thought they had killed everyone inside and made off with $20,000. But, what they didn't know was that one of their victims survived and was the key to bringing the trio to justice.
