Gary Sudbrink Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

"You're being impersonated by the other voice."
On the evening of 8 February 1993, Gary Sudbrink was at his parent's home in New York, located on Long Island. The 27-year-old Air Force Captain had decided to make a surprise trip to visit his family and friends, and hadn't really told anyone of his intention before flying back home from Texas.
However, late that evening, Gary's parents would receive a series of strange phone calls addressed directly to Gary. The caller on the other end spoke in a strange, mechanical voice and made a number of weird statements, alluding to Gary being impersonated by someone else...

Mary Anne Holmes Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

"Whoever did this couldn't be human."
On the afternoon of 9 July 1995, the four-year-old daughter of Mary Anne Holmes ran to a neighbor's home in the small town of Thatcher, Arizona. Naked and bound with rope, the girl had been laying next to her mother's bloody body for several hours, questioning why she couldn't wake her up.
Hours beforehand, an unknown killer had entered in through the unlocked back door of Mary Anne's home and subjected the single mother of two to a heinous assault that lasted hours. Decades later, their identity remains unknown...

Avi Keys Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

"Are you dead yet?"
On 13 May 2004, four men drove out from Fairbanks, Alaska along the Steese Highway. High on methamphetamine, three of the men had been awake for days and were delirious by the time they pulled off onto a private road blocked by a no-trespassing sign. There, one of the men, Jason Fisher, murdered another, David Mason, in cold blood. The other two, Avi Keys and Josiah Thurneau, would help Fisher dismember and dispose of their friend's body.
Eventually, after getting into some trouble for additional crimes, police in Alaska would begin to circle Jason Fisher for the unsolved murder. But by the time they had enough evidence to convict, one of their possible witnesses, Avi Keys, had vanished...

Loni Kai Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

"Fingertips cut off, face smashed in - whoever did it, there certainly was a violent rage."
In the early morning hours of 26 August 2001, Loni Kai was seen walking through the streets of Hillsboro, Oregon. Having gone out earlier that evening, Loni was attempting to hitch a ride back to her home along SW Cornelius Pass Road.
Just a few hours later, Loni's body was found in an overgrown field miles away, near the 27000 block of SW Farmington Road. Whoever had killed her had done so incredibly brutally and then quickly disposed of her body, likely with the help of someone else. Despite not naming any suspects publicly, detectives believe that Loni was killed because of her gender identity, making her the victim of a still-unsolved hate crime...

The Castration Murders Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

"We found drag marks and blood spatters leading from the highway to the trees. It looks like someone just drove up, dragged the body out of the car, dumped it and then drove away."
In June of 1982, the body of 21-year-old Marty Shook was discovered in Daniel's Canyon, a mountain pass near Heber City, Utah. He had been shot once in the back of the head with a .38-caliber handgun, but most shockingly, had been castrated postmortem by his killer, with Wasatch County Sheriff's Det. Stevan Ridge describing the victim as "really carved up."
Over the next several years, investigators would struggle to identify the killer(s) of Marty Shook, who had only been hitchhiking for two days before the discovery of his nude body. However, in 1988, following the submission of Marty's case into VICAP (Violent Criminal Apprehension Program), analysts discovered that he may have just been one victim of a sadistic serial killer...

Joshua Maddux Sep 11, 2022

Show notes

"Sometimes in life, our stories don't have happy endings. I'm sorry to say that this is one of those stories..."
On the morning of May 8th, 2008, Joshua Maddux told his family he was going to go for a walk. It was a chilly-but-nice day, and a morning walk or hike was not at all unusual for the outdoorsy 18-year-old. Sadly, he never came home, and attempts to track him down proved fruitless for his loved ones.
Years later, in 2015, demolition crews made a gruesome discovery: the skeletonized remains of Josh Maddux, approximately two blocks away from his family's home in Woodland Park, Colorado. His remains were inside the chimney of an abandoned cabin near the area's historic Thunderhead Ranch...

Kimberley Lockyer & Dale Worthman Aug 28, 2022

Show notes

“Shannon, you killed both of them... you're just one cold-hearted bastard. You're the one that done that, not me."
Kimberley Lockyer and Dale Worthman were a young couple that lived together in their small Newfoundland town of Portugal St. Cove Philips. When they disappeared from their basement apartment on August 27th, 1993, it almost seemed like they had simply stepped out for a minute and fully intended on returning.
Despite widespread searches throughout the region, no trace of the missing couple was found for over a decade. However, in 2006, the case would be turned upside down when a local man named Joey Oliver went to police and told them where the bodies of Kimberley Lockyer and Dale Worthman could be found...

Eddie Politelli Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

"I don't think it will turn out to be someone who lives here. I think it was just a crime of opportunity."
On the morning of 12 June 2006, Anthony Sposato arrived at his pizza shop, Mama Mia N.Y. Style Pizza and Pasta in Stevenson Ranch, California. As soon as he entered in through the front door, he could hear the voice of his longtime friend and coworker, 72-year-old Eddie Politelli, telling someone in the back, "Don't hurt me. I don't have anything."
Because of Eddie's joking nature, Anthony immediately thought that the older man was goofing off with somebody. However, as Anthony took a few steps into the restaurant, the reality of the situation began to dawn on him that this was no joke...

Jeannette "Charlie" Atwater Aug 07, 2022

Show notes

"One of the theories is that it was somebody passing through and she just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could have been anyone that night. We can't find anything that singles out Charlie Atwater as a target."
In the early morning hours of 16 January 2000, firefighters responded to a call on the outskirts of Billings, MT. The fire, which seemed to have been intentionally started in a gravel parking lot near the MetraPark Arena, had engulfed a vehicle within minutes of the 3:32 AM call being placed to emergency dispatchers.
During the process of extinguishing the fire, firefighters had to force open the trunk of the burning vehicle, a 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. When firefighters looked inside, they were shocked to find the body of a local resident, whose distinguishing features had been burned away in the short-lived-yet-powerful blaze...
