from Murder Phone · host Tony Ciaglia

William Bonin. The Freeway Killer. The winter of 1979 is about to get a lot darker.In this episode, Tony Ciaglia ,The Serial Killer Whisperer,  and his father Al walk you through the brutal final weeks of 1979 and into the blood-soaked opening days of 1980, as Bonin accelerates his killing with terrifying speed. Victims 8 through 13 — Frank Dennis Fox, John Kilpatrick, Mike McDonald, Charles Miranda, James McCabe, and Ronald Gatlin,  each story more devastating than the last.But this episode goes somewhere most true crime podcasts never can. Tony plays never-before-heard recorded phone calls from accomplice Gregory Miley — in his own words, in his own voice describing what happened inside that van. Flat. Casual. Remorseless.Twelve-year-old James McCabe just wanted a ride to Disneyland. Charles Miranda, 14, was standing on a street corner. Within 24 hours, both were gone.And then  impossibly the system had Bonin in custody and let him walk. Twenty-eight days later, he killed again.This one is not easy to listen to.

Explicit Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
