Issei Sagawa The Japanese Cannibal Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

Issei Sagawa was a small, shy, and studious man from Japan who had always been preoccupied with thoughts of eating another human being. After moving to Paris, France, to obtain a PhD at Sorbonne University, he felt more alone and out-of-place than ever as he struggled to suppress his darkest desires. He was never good at making friends until he met Dutch expatriate Renee Hartevelt, herself a doctoral student. As their friendship continued over the weeks, Issei was finally coming out of his shell but not without bringing him to commit the vilest of acts on the least likely of victims.

Allison McGarrigle a home town murder Apr 22, 2020

Show notes

When Allison McGarrigle went missing in the small coastal town of Largs on the west coast of Scotland in 1997, suspicions turned to her two flat mates Charles O'neill and William Lauchlan who she had not long moved in with . The pair had a dark past as child sexual predators and with no body, police would find it hard to get a conviction...

Who Killed Hazel Drew? Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

Twenty-year-old Hazel Drew from East Poestenkill, New York, was well-loved by the community that knew her and noted for her beauty and kind nature. On July 11, 1908, after years of living in nearby Troy as a domestic servant for the wealthy, Hazel’s body was discovered floating in a pond over 10 miles away in the town of Sand Lake. Despite an intense investigation, the unusual circumstances surrounding Hazel’s death left locals wondering not just who her murderer was but if she was leading a double life. More than 100 years later, Hazel Drew’s unsolved murder has again garnered national attention with the revelation that she was the inspiration for Laura Palmer, whose murder is the central focus of the cult TV crime series Twin Peaks.

The murders of Tom and Jackie Hawks part 3 Feb 26, 2020

Show notes

After living their dream of sailing the warm Pacific Coast for two years, retired middle-aged couple Thomas and Jackie Hawks of Prescott, Arizona, were ready to come back ashore. Family was all-important to them, so with the arrival of their first grandchild, it took no time to put their beloved ocean home, their yacht the Well Deserved, on the market. They planned for many more moments shared with their new grandson, but there was only one to be had before meeting a sure buyer on November 15, 2004, for a final sea trial. They were never heard from again.

Who hacked B.E.? Part two repaired file Jan 27, 2020

Show notes

Marriage is sacred! However, no one ever REALLY knows what happens behind closed doors even though a couple on the outside might seem like the perfect couple.

That's what people thought about church going couple Betty and Allen Gore and for the most part, people were correct. However, introduce a third person into the mix and the dynamic would change...
