The Watcher House - Who Did It?

from True Crime Recaps

The real estate market is hard enough without a malevolent neighbor who's been sending threatening messages for over 100 years. This week, Amy and Chris discuss the mystery of The Watcher, a supposed family who has been keeping guard of a Westfield, New Jersey home for over a century.Derek and Maria Broaddus purchased the home in 2014, and that's when their nightmare began. Even before they were able to move in, they started receiving letters with creepy messages, referring to them as "young blood," hinting at secrets hidden within the walls, and making it clear that they were watching them as they moved around the house. The situation got so out of hand that they decided to sell the home at a loss. So who is the Watcher? We may never know.Plus, in a bonus story, Amy details the List Family Mansion murders, which is only 10 minutes away from the Westfield Watcher home. On November 9, 1971, John List murdered his entire family one by one, wrote a confession, then fled to the airport.Send your true crime suggestions to hello@truecrimerecaps!Support the show AND listen ad-free here!: https://truecrimerecaps.supercast.tech/Get 10% Off by visiting BetterHelp.com/recapsFollow TCR on YouTube here!Follow TCR on Instagram here!Follow TCR on Facebook here! Learn more about your ad choices.

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.
