They were so entertaining the week before, we had to have them back for more!!
Tom and Jackie Hawks loved their life in retirement, sailing on their yacht, the Well Deserved. But when the birth of a new grandson called them back to Arizona, they put the boat up for sale. Skylar Deleon and his pregnant wife Jennifer showed up as prospective buyers, with their baby in a stroller, and the Hawkses thought they had a deal. Soon after a sea trial and an alleged purchase, however, the older couple disappeared and the Deleons promptly tried to access the Hawkses’ bank accounts.
As police investigated the case, they not only found a third homicide victim with ties to Skylar, they also uncovered an unexpected and unusual motive: Skylar had wanted gender reassignment surgery for years. By killing the Hawkses with a motley crew of assailants and plundering the couple’s assets, the Deleons had planned to clear their $100,000 in debts and still have money for the surgery, which Skylar had already scheduled.
Now, in this up-to-the-minute updated edition, which includes extensive new material, New York Times bestselling author Caitlin Rother presents the latest breaking developments in the case. Skylar, who was ultimately sentenced to death row for the three murders, transitioned to a woman via hormones while living in the psych unit at San Quentin prison. Recently, she legally changed her name and gender to female, apparently a strategic step in her quest to obtain taxpayer-subsidized gender confirmation surgery and transfer to a women’s prison. Combined with Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent moratorium on executions, this only adds insult to injury for the victims’ families, who want Skylar to receive the ultimate punishment for her crimes.
Joyce Singular, stunning as always on the Serial Killer Awards' Blood Red Carpet, and her stylish husband Stephen in his classic retro bleeding madras shirt glibly demonstrated six ways to wear a scarf while investigating the social and psychological underpinnings of cult crazed killers and other victims of alliteration in modern lit/lig (literature with ligature)
Stephen and Joyce tell things about BTK you never knew, including the unique pulley system he had for swinging naked through the trees in the forest as if he were Tarzan's chimp or Jane's bitch., the photos he took of his penetrated posterior .to be held in perpetuity for sharing with his disturbed, disgusted, bothered and/or bewildered descendants, and a more 'in depth" discussion of BTK coming out of the closet --not an expression of previously closeted sexual fantasies, but rather a factual reality of him hiding within these functional items of furniture to surprisingly step out to bind torture and kill. BTK's best friend was the Church Pastor who was devastated when it was revealed that the dangerous deadly and deranged madman causing so much death and despair was the same entertaining fellow the congregation elected as their President
Dennis Says:"I retired in 1994, after a 20-year career in investigations and law enforcement in New York State. My debut in nonfiction, Policing Las Vegas – A History of Law Enforcement in Southern Nevada, was released in April 2005. It covers the evolution of law enforcement in Las Vegas and Clark County from the city’s establishment in 1905. My second nonfiction, The Battle for Las Vegas – The Law versus the Mob, tells the story of the Tony Spilotro era in Las Vegas from 1971 thru 1986. It was released in July 2006 and was a Computer Times Editor’s Selection in October 2006. That was followed in July 2007 by CULLOTTA, the biography of former Chicago and Las Vegas mobster Frank Cullotta. Surviving The Mob, the biography of former Gambino crime family associate Andrew DiDionato, which hit store shelves in January 2011."
Since then Dennis has written even more true crime books, all of them excellent and as respected as Dennis himself. Join us for this fun and fact filled hour with one of our favorite guests ( Burl can make Dennis crack up laughing at least twice per show!)
This show went so fast, when it got to the end I thought we were taking a 60 second break!
Just when you think you’ve heard it all… An entertaining and at times tongue-and-cheek look into cases of bizarre sexually obsessive behaviors (paraphilias) that had unintended consequences. Each chapter briefly explores the lesser-known fetishes and fixations to the more common ones that unexpectedly led to severe injury, imprisonment and death. Case-by-case accounts provide insight into the circumstances surrounding such infamous incidences as the deaths of INXS singer Michael Hutchence and actor David Carradine, who were believed to have accidentally died from auto-erotica asphyxiation, and the more recent Northern Virginia “Serial Butt Slasher” case, where women shopping in malls were brutally stabbed in the behind by an by a suspect identified on a mall video tape. These unusual and often disconcerting accounts seriously challenge the adage “What feels good can’t be wrong.” researcher and author Rachel Bell wrote the book and is our special guest.
Who has sex with the dead? Too many people, and roving gangs of perverted ducks. As the "victim" just lies there, do they share culpability in this foul act? And as the ducks have no codified standard of sexual morality, are they simply responding to the duck call of nature by gang-raping the duck dynasty's deceased as a way to feather their social status nests? Is research into necrophilia a form of scholastic quackery? Is it possible for psychopaths and serial killers to suffer an overdose of bad puns while listening to True Crime Uncensored? Find out when you listen to this mind-numbing episode hosted by Edgar Award winner Burl Barer and show business legend Howard Lapides. Produced by Magic Matt Alan and featuring our brilliant guest Lee Mellor.
Alan R. Warren is back with the shocking story of Robert Maudsley.
Robert Maudsley was dubbed “Hannibal the Cannibal’ on account of his thirst for eating the brains of his victims. He is one of the most interesting and thought-provoking murderers in prison. He will be housed in a bulletproof cage, in the basement of Wakefield Prison, England, where Britain hold its most savage, high-profile convicts. He is known to be such a danger to others, even inmates, he lives in a specially designed cell that doesn’t allow him any contact with anybody, except for guards that will slide his food through a small hole at the bottom of one of his cells.
Growing up, Susan Berman's childhood was idyllic. She was Las Vegas Mob royalty, the daughter of a Mob boss who ran the Flamingo and furnished his only child with anything money could buy. But halfway through her childhood, dream exploded. Susan's father died without warning during a routine surgery. Next, Susie Berman's mother died by her own hand the next year when she overdosing on drugs. Susie was whisked away from the only home she'd ever known, parentless and living with an uncle and his family and sent away to boarding school. Fast forward to college where Susan met her soul mate, Robert Durst. They became best friends and each other's confidants. Durst went to work for his wealthy father at the Durst Organization in Manhattan while Susan became a journalist, writing about women's cultural issues for newspapers and magazines. She followed Durst to New York, where he married the beautiful Kathie McCormack. Then, Kathie disappeared and Susan stood by her best friend Robert, despite suspicions that Durst had caused the demise of his wife. Twenty years later, as police closed in on Durst and reopened the case, seeking to interview his best friends, Susan was murdered. Few clues were found. Who did it and why? Was it the Mob? A trusted friend? Murder in Beverly Hills (an updated, revised edition of Murder of a Mafia Daughter) answers those questions. Exclusive information about the investigation is included in this edition, as well as new interviews of police detectives, Susan's friends, family and colleagues, and new information about Robert Durst is revealed.
