Dark Legacies: BTK’s Haunting Trail and the Menendez Brothers’ Fight for Freedom

from Tales From the Underworld · host Kelly J. Sullivan and Kirsten Ford

In this episode, we dive into two cases that continue to grip the true crime world decades after they first made headlines.First, new evidence has emerged that may tie Dennis Rader—the notorious BTK Killer—to the 1976 disappearance of a teenage girl in Oklahoma. Could this cold case finally reveal more about Rader’s long-hidden crimes, and are there other victims still waiting to be uncovered?Then we turn to California, where the Menendez brothers, convicted in the infamous 1989 murder of their parents, are preparing for parole hearings. After serving more than three decades in prison, their case is once again sparking debate—were they cold-blooded killers, or victims of unthinkable abuse fighting for survival?Join us as we unpack these two chilling stories, exploring the evidence, the controversies, and the lingering questions that keep them alive in public memory.
