Jesse Pomeroy Apr 09, 2018

Show notes

Jesse Pomeroy may very well be one of the most sadistic kids that has ever lived. It's hard to imagine how a boy as young as 12 years old can make the conscious decision to torture and murder other children. But this is exactly what Jesse Pomeroy did. He started to torture other children by the age of 12 and within a few years started to commit murders.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the crimes of Jesse Pomeroy, who became known as "The Boy Fiend". This is a case that will shake you to your core as you grapple with how someone so young can commit such horrible crimes. What was it in Jesse's childhood that may have led him to have the thoughts that he did? And what would happen to a kid charged with first degree capital murder at such a young age?

Gertrude Baniszewski Mar 19, 2018

Show notes

In 1965, Gertrude Baniszewski was a 37 year old divorced mother of seven children. Lester and Betty Likens were a couple who worked the carnival circuit and they needed someone to watch their 15 and 16 year old daughters. In a chance meeting they would meet Gertrude and make the decision to allow her to watch their girls in exchange for $20 a week. What would ensue over the next several months to Jenny and Sylvia Likens would be considered as one of the most terrible crimes in Indiana history.

The details of her death are horrible, but what would come out after the fact about who was involved in the torture and death of Sylvia would shock the nation.

Randy Kraft "The Scorecard Killer" Mar 05, 2018

Show notes

Randy Kraft would be dubbed as "The Scorecard Killer" for the record keeping that he would keep on his victims including codes he listed beside entries. Police believe that Kraft may be responsible for over 60 murders of men in the California area in the 70s and 80s. Kraft is also part of police have called "The Freeway Killers", 3 serial killers operating in similar areas, with similar MOs, and overlapping in the times that they killed. Patrick Kearney that we profiled in our last episode was another of "The Freeway Killers".

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the magnitude of the crimes committed by Randy Kraft. His number of victims is astonishing but the way that he murdered these men is even more astonishing. Police had their hands full during this period of time in California trying to figure out why so many men were being targeted and murdered. It's incredible to know that that there were 3 different individuals who were committing such twisted murders, preying on men in a similar way and in essentially the same area.
