292: Capturing The Killer Nurse Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

Charles "Charlie" Cullen, aka "The Killer Nurse" is suspected of killing over 400 unsuspecting patients at various hospitals where he worked over his 30 year nursing career. This makes him the most prolific serial killer in WORLD HISTORY. He did his killing in secret, of course, and was well loved by hospital colleagues. But looking back, the evidence of murders was plain for anyone to see. And hospital administrators, who had to be aware of what he was doing, turned a blind eye to protect their business rather than protecting their patients. This is the story of how Cullen got away with it for so long.

291: The Boston Strangler Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

In the early 60s, a madman was on the loose in Boston. In the span of 2 years, he's know to have brutally raped and murdered at least 13 women in their own homes. The killer was a monster who definitely didn't look like one--he'd easily gain his victim's trust and access to their homes, as there was never any sign of forced entry. And he was meticulous, almost never leaving a single clue. As the terror in the city reaches a fever pitch, investigators make an arrest. But did they get the right guy? Or was he just a willing patsy set up to take the fall?

288: Web of Death: The Murder of Elnora Griffin Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

On the evening of July 23, 1993, Elnora Griffin was murdered in her home in Tyler, Texas. The crime was so brutal, some first responders, for their own good, were actually kept from entering the crime scene. Quickly, Elnora's neighbor, 25 year old Ed Ates was the prime suspect. He lived next door to Elnora and witness claimed that Ed was at Elnora's house just before the murder happened. Also, investigators were able to prove that Ed lied to them about his alibi. It would take two trials, but eventually Ed was convicted for the murder. The only thing is: Ed didn't do it. Enter podcaster and investigator Bob Ruff who would use his army of followers to find new evidence in the hopes of freeing this wrongfully convicted man.
