Episode 35: Vampchick | Malice Afterthought Sep 26, 2018

Show notes

In the town of Piehl, Wisconsin three siblings ages 9, 8 and 2 slowly finally opened their bedroom doors. They had been locked in by a plastic zip tie that was wrapped around the final staircase wrung and then their door knob. The oldest of the three girls told the others it was safe to leave. They slowly walked around their house, and saw again the reason why they had been locked in their room. The blood was everywhere and the house was so quiet. They saw the body of their mother lying on the floor stabbed to death. The girls quickly ran upstairs and it was there that the saw for the first time the body of their father, shot twice with a 12 gauge shotgun. At too young of an age the eldest girl was given the protection role over her two younger sisters and she was scared. She was nervous that the killer was still in the house. At the sight of her father she told all of her siblings to run back downstairs into the bedroom. All the girls ran. The went back into their bedroom and closed the door. She told them they would wait until the morning that it should be fine by then.

Episode 34: The Final Boy | The Murders at Lake Bodom Sep 09, 2018

Show notes

There are some tropes that commonly exist in horror movies, blown out tires, no coverage, the abandoned house, death by sex, vengeful spirits. But there is one old faithful that will reign true until the end of time. Sinning teenagers being killed off each meeting a fate more brutal than the last...all except for one. We call her the final girl. But what if we told you there is a true story behind this one. Not an urban legend that really actually happened to that one girl’s cousin’s best friend but really happened. Only in this case there wasn’t a final girl but a final boy. A boy who can’t remember what happened that night in the scary woods surrounding a peaceful lake, a boy who also can’t explain why his injuries don’t compare to the ruthless slaughter his friends endured. So what happened at Lake Bodom on June 4, 1960?

Episode 33: Killer Cult | The Ant Hill Kids Aug 26, 2018

Show notes

If I were to ask you to tell me the craziest cult you’d ever heard of you would probably tell me the Manson Family, Aum Shinrikyo, Children of God, or maybe Heaven’s Gate. But there is always a cult that is kept out of the conversation surrounding the damaging effects and dangers that these deadly cults pose. That would be the Ant Hill Kids. However, the members of this cult would not do harm unto others, harm would be done unto them at the hands of their charismatic leader.

Episode 32: The Dardeen Family Massacre Aug 13, 2018

Show notes

Deep in the heartlands of the United States just on the outskirts of the bible belt lies Jefferson County, Illinois and by 1987 the county was in crisis mode. For the passed two years, despite having a small rural population, there have been 15 murders- 3 of them remaining unsolved. The people of the county think they have seen and heard it all. Everyone is on high alert and not a soul can be seen on the streets after dark. But the cautiousness does not prevent more murders from taking place because on November 18, 1987 a family is brutally and senselessly slaughtered. So just what exactly is going on Jefferson County?

Episode 30: The Massie Affair | A Dishonorable Killing Jul 15, 2018

Show notes

Unfortunately history repeats itself. I could say the words to you racism, violence, torture, and lynching and you wouldn’t know if you were going to hear a case from colonial times, pre-civil war or post. Or maybe it could be during the second revival of the klan post WWI. Or the civil rights movement of the 50s or 60s. But this case isn’t that. It is does involve the things I mention above but today we are going to talk about what became known as the Massie Affair. In 1931 the young beautiful wife of a naval officer, stationed at Pearl harbor in Hawaii was raped. It still remains a mystery as to what happened to her. But what happened afterwards is quite clear. Racism, violence, torture, and a lynching. The Massie Affair brought to life the pent up aggression of the native hawaiians as well as the aggression of those who believed that they were entitled to the island.

This case involves a cruel and brutal family, isolation, psychopathy, kidnapping, torture, murder, duress. It is everything that nightmares are made of. It’s one of those stories that torments you, makes your stomach hurt and you never truly forget the first time you hear about it. But it’s also a story of bravery, justice, perseverance, and survival. Today we are going to talk about a man who is evil in every sense of the word and of a boy who is equally as brave. Both men coming from the same family, which helps us discuss the ultimate true crime debate of nature of nurture .
