On September 22, 2006, 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart of Pocatello, Idaho, spent a Friday evening with her boyfriend and two classmates while housesitting for relatives. In the midst of some unusual power outages at the house, the boys depart for the night, leaving Cassie to her house sitting duties frightened and alone. No one would hear from her for two days, until her relatives come back from their trip to find Cassie’s body lying in a pool of blood in their living room.

The Bucket list killer Sep 23, 2019

Show notes

Jemma Lilley had ambitions, she had a bucket list. Shockingly, on that list was murder. Along with her submissive and equally derranged friend Trudi Lenon, the pair would commit one of the most horrendous acts of the past few years on the innocent Aaron Pajich Sweetman.

Mark Kilroy prt2 Sep 12, 2019

Show notes

It was the spring of 1989 and 21-year-old Texas pre-med student Mark Kilroy had been
looking forward to spending his spring break vacation with friends along the United
States-Mexico border. After a night of partying in the Mexican town of Matamoros,
Mark and his friends headed back to Brownsville, Texas. At some point, the friends
realized Mark wasn’t with them anymore, and no amount of searching turned him up.
One month later, his remains would be found in a cauldron used in what appeared to be
an occult ritual.

No one wins tonight Aug 20, 2019

Show notes

This week we look into the murder of John Luttig at the hands of Napolean Beazley. It's a tragic story about a young man who turns to murder just to justify his race to his peers and to also try to and convince himself.
It didn't end well for anyone, no body won. No one wins tonight!
