Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer: A True Crime Podcast

Kevin is taking lead on a 2 part on the weird gay serial killer, obsessed with mannequins. Part 1, we cover his early life and the weirdness that ensued, his ownership of the Save Alot grocery store, and up to his first known murder attempt. Herb is definitely one of the weirdest serial killers that there have been.Contact the show at ⁠[email protected]⁠History Goon links: https://www.facebook.com/groups/historygoonhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9d7is-xxGztCVrlezdRL-ACKCB links:⁠https://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/⁠⁠https://twitter.com/CKC_Beer⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyuqDB2Dlszhpc_pGca29w⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/257328477392782/⁠

On this episode, we are covering a criminal mastermind of the worst kind...No. We’re covering a complete and total moron named Stephen Port. A gay British serial killer, who preyed on young gay men, and couldn’t keep his story straight if his life depended on it. He killed 4 men, and his story changed repeatedly. But the real bafoonery here is the police. Port was practically serving himself up to police on a platter, and the police couldn’t have cared less. He was literally on an episode of Master Chef the day after killing a victim. Horrible story, but we had a blast making fun of this doofus..Contact the show at⁠[email protected]⁠History Goon links: https://www.facebook.com/groups/historygoonhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9d7is-xxGztCVrlezdRL-ACKCB links:⁠https://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/⁠⁠https://twitter.com/CKC_Beer⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyuqDB2Dlszhpc_pGca29w⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/257328477392782/⁠

NOTE:THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VIDEO ON THIS EPISODE, SO IT IS AUDIO ONLY! Sorry about that.We’re getting culty again! This is the first militant Christianfundamentalist cult. Join us as we talk about the leaders, James and Deborah Green and the Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps. These lunatics didn’t hide the fact that they were a cult. They proudly told everyone that they were. What they didn’t tell everyone was that they also believed in faith healing, and child abuse, while milking their followers of every red cent they had to their name, and making the followers believe that the crimes they committed at their direction were their own ideas.

In the mid to late 90s, there was a local heavy metal band in Milan, Italy called Beasts of Satan. They practiced Satanic rituals in addition to playing their music. But when 2 members of the band disappeared without a trace, the father of one of them decided he wouldn’t rest until he knew where he was. 6 years later, a drunk man who was a member of the band was picked up off the streets. This uncovered a whole web of evil tied to the Beasts of Satan, linking them to multiple murders. This case launched Italy’s own Satanic Panic. Join us as we tell you this haunting tale of metal and mayhem.Joining Bill and Kevin is Matthew Brockmeyer of the Murder Coaster PodcastContact the show at⁠[email protected]⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/⁠⁠https://twitter.com/CKC_Beer⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyuqDB2Dlszhpc_pGca29w⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/257328477392782/⁠

Help! History Goon Kevin is STILL holding me hostage! This time, he’s forcing me to listen to a horrible story about a Nazi scumbag that I’d never heard of. Oscar Dirlewanger. This puke valued human life a little bit under the value of a German cockroach, which made him a perfect choice as a general to people like Hitler or Himmler, who he served under. This guy was a monster from the day he was born, and you’ll be asking yourself why this guy isn’t as well known as cockroaches like Himmler and Hitler.

In this brutally satisfying episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer, we dive into the dumbest decisions that brought some of the world’s most dangerous serial killers to justice. These weren’t master criminals brought down by genius detectives—they were their own worst enemies. From Israel Keyes using his victim’s debit card at ATMs on camera, to Arthur Shawcross returning to the scene of the crime for a snack, to Dennis Nilsen casually calling a plumber about human remains in his drain—these guys practically handed themselves over.We’re cracking open a cold one and laughing through the jaw-dropping idiocy of killers who couldn’t help but leave a trail of breadcrumbs straight to prison. Sometimes evil isn't just cruel... it's really, really stupid.https://www.ckcbpodcast.com/https://x.com/CKC_Beerhttps://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/https://www.youtube.com/@CrimesKillersCultsandBeerhttps://bsky.app/profile/ckcbpodcast.bsky.socialhttps://www.facebook.com/CKCBPC

His wife, Michelle Theer — a seemingly sweet marriagecounselor with dark secrets and a dangerous lover.In this episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer, we dive deep into the shocking murder-for-hire plot that rocked a military community and sparked a national media frenzy. From internet affairs to cold-blooded conspiracy, this is the story of how love, lust, and manipulation led to murder.Grab a drink, and join us as we explore the twisted case of Marty and Michelle Theer — because sometimes, the most dangerous people are the ones closest to you.

Cindy McKay thought she was a criminal mastermind—but in reality, she was more Dollar Store than Oceans Eleven. In this episode, we dive into the ridiculous rise and spectacular fall of Cindy McKay: con artist, arsonist, murderer…and, frankly, an idiot.From scamming neighbors with laughably bad schemes to setting fires she couldn’t control (or even properly plan), Cindy’s life of crime wasn’t just evil—it was embarrassingly sloppy. We’ll follow her bumbling trail of fraud, greed, and flaming stupidity all the way to her inevitable downfall.How did this walking disaster manage to cause so much chaos?

April 25th, 2025, I woke up to heartbreaking news. Todd Teal, My life long friend of 35+ years, as well as band mate, and the original co-host of CKCB had passed away from an apparent heart attack.This episode is a tribute to Todd. I've taken segments from 7 episodes that stuck out in my mind, that were very funny, and put them in this episode. I've also included messages from his friends, as well as other podcasters who were on episodes with him. Its a touching way for people to remember him, and hear and see him laughing and having fun. There's not just this. He was on over 90 episodes of this show. That's well over half the catalog! RIP, Brother...I'll catch you on the flip side.You can also hear and see Todd here, on this episode of Forget The Date: https://youtu.be/NPRfJ0vriEA?si=imy1GYNWVwL_SXHMAny other podcast correspondence, send it to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/https://twitter.com/CKC_Beerhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyuqDB2Dlszhpc_pGca29w https://www.facebook.com/groups/257328477392782/

You might remember him as the trigger man in Boyz in the Hood, but Lloyd Avery II’s story didn’t stop when the cameras stopped rolling. In this episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer,we crack open a cold one and dive into the wild and tragic descent of a Hollywood actor who blurred the lines between fiction and reality.Avery’s rise from South Central to the big screen was meteoric—and short-lived. What followed was a shocking spiral into gang life, a double homicide, and one of the most bizarre prison deaths we’ve ever covered. Fame, violence, and a brutal end—this is a story you won’t forget.Grab a beer. Let’s get into it.SHOT movie, starring Lloyd Avery https://youtu.be/IMH3b_5J0X4?si=kwqNKnHmUJznfC0mHistory Goon Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/5I3VBsqrsIVjY2k6zdOYCfAny podcast correspondence, send it to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/https://twitter.com/CKC_Beer⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyuqDB2Dlszhpc_pGca29w⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/257328477392782/

NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to April 25, when Todd died. The previous episode was recorded after, because I wanted to address his death on the next episode that I released. Kevin from History Goon once again joins Bill on this one, and as of the time of release, Kevin’s podcast, History Goon has been released! Show link is with the links below.In this episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer, wetake a deep breath and dive into one of the most disturbing and controlling religious movements in modern America — the Word of Faith Fellowship, led by the iron-fisted Jane Whaley. From her pulpit in Spindale, North Carolina, Whaley built a cult cloaked in Christianity, where members endured public beatings, emotional manipulation, and “blasting” prayers that sounded more like exorcisms than sermons.We break down Jane’s rise from math teacher to spiritualdictator, the shocking allegations of abuse and isolation, and the hold she maintained over followers for decades — even banning laughter, music, and contact with the outside world. It’s a tale of spiritual control, psychological domination, and the terrifying power of blind faith.Grab a beer — you’re gonna need it — and join us as we pullback the curtain on the Word of Faith Fellowship cult, wheresalvation came with a side of fear.History Goon Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/5rFF8rzQPpRxvp3AQSobVe?si=ae033047e806492dGot a beer you want Doug to review?

It was time, folks! During the Dexter episode, Bill told Sandra about Toy Box Killer, David Parker Ray, after mentioning the killer from the TV show that could have been inspired by him. She was a little spooked by the very brief description, so Bill figured, LET’S COVER THAT ONE!!!David Parker Ray was a sadistic serial rapist and killer. He would abduct women, and restrain them in his toy box, a service trailer that he turned into an S&M torture chamber. He would drug them, and when they woke up, he would play a sadistic tape recording of him telling the victim exactly what to expect for the duration of their stay. He would then rape the women for days, weeks, and in some cases, months.3 women survived, although he is strongly suspected of killing many more, as well as abducting and torturing many more. But it was the heroic actions of 3 victims, one of which escaped, that brought Ray’s crimes to light, and led to his arrest and conviction.Got a beer you want Doug to review?

On this episode, we’re covering a tale of 2 brothers. 2 brothers who couldn’t be more different. Steven and Cary Stayner. The whole saga of the Stayner family is heartbreaking, and one of the strangest cases in true crime. In the early 70s, Steven Stayner was abducted by a predator who in addition to abusing him for 7 years, attempted to make him his son..until he aged out, and the predator tried to make him recruit a new brother. He refused, but the predator found one anyway. Rather than let him put this new boy through the hell he had gone through, Steven and the new boy escaped, and both were reunited with their families. Steven had been gone for 7 years, and the media frenzy made Cary fade into the background. If you’re unfamiliarwith the story, I won’t spoil it for you as to what happened toCary...but its crazy, and not in a good way.Joining us once again is Jody Plauche, who had some invaluable input into Steven’s story, considering he too was abducted by a predator when he was very young. This was a great episode, and thanks to Jody for coming on!You can buy his book that he wrote about his experience, as well the actions that made his father, Gary into a hero here:https://www.amazon.com/Why-Gary-Jody-Plauch%C3%A9-Story/dp/1948903210Got a beer you want Doug toreview?

David Berg was a cult leader that emerged from the Pentecostal movement in the early 1900s. His parents were both evangelists, who preached the faith healing doctrine.As a kid, he was abused by a babysitter, which resulted in him becoming s-xually super charged for the rest of his life. He got into ministry as well, and was heavily influenced by William Branham early on.He set up a hippie type church, that combined hippie culture with the Branham message. But as time went on, he became focused on s-x, which would later include relations with everyone, even children. He wound up fleeing the US, and would fund his cult by forcing the women to go out and seduce men for money, a practice that he called flirtyfishing. He would do no time, and died in Portugal. The cult is still active today under the name The Family International.There's alot more to the story, so join us!Got a beer you want Doug toreview?

Hey, everyone..Tonight, we have a special episode because we’re introducing a brand new podcast called History Goon, and we have the host of the show on with us to tell us a story. Welcome Kevin, as he takes the lead, and tells us the story. This episode was recorded about 2 months ago. The 1986FBI Miami shootout occurred on April 11, 1986, in Miami-Dade County, Florida, U.S. (the specific area was incorporated as Pinecrest in 1996), when a small group of field agents for the FBI attempted to apprehend William Russell Matix and Michael Lee Platt, who were suspected of committing a series of violent crimes in and around the Miami metropolitan area. Although they had partially surrounded the suspects after maneuvering them off a local road, the agents involved quickly found their firepower was outmatched by the weapons which Matix and Platt had in their vehicle. During the gun battle which ensued, Platt in particular was able to repeatedly return fire despite sustaining multiple hits. Two Special Agents died from their wounds, while five other agents were injured by gunfire. The shootout ended when both Matix and Platt were killed. The incident is infamous as one of the most violent episodes in the history of the FBI and is often studied in law enforcement training. The scale of the shootout led to the introduction of more effective handguns, primarily switching from revolvers to semi-automatics, in the FBI and many police departments around the United States.

Some cults aren’t religious. Tonight on CKCB Features, I’m talking with a survivor named Al Tessier, who was part of the Acting Lab Senior Ensemble. An acting class, led by a Hollywood reject, who later turned his organization into a cult. This is a fascinating story that reminds us to be vigilant in any situation that is led by a charismatic figure. Small cults can be extremely damaging.

In October, 1979, most of the student body at Miami Aerospace Academy went into riot mode. Strange occurrences were happening too, such as levitating, super human strength, and an overall pack mentality. But, what caused it? It was reported as mass demonic possession, and this event would be the catalyst that launched the Satanic Panic into the mainstream the very next year, in 1980. Join us as we tell you what happened, who the key antagonists were, and what could have sparked an entire school into this massive display of pack violence. There were definitely warning signs. An over ambitious exiled Cuban soldier with a sadistic mean streak, as well as dabbling with dark practices on a large scale. Got a beer you want Doug to review?

But the man wants it ALL, except for his wife. A gorgeous young woman enters the picture, and they two begin manipulating each other. This leads to the murder, and an attempted murder of the man’s wife. Diedre Hunt and Kostas Fotopoulos tell you what NOT to do if you want to take over your spouse’s inherited wealth. This is a short episode, but its packed full of information, moreso than some of our longer ones. Also, its a Florida story! Daytona Beach! Got a beer you want Doug to review?

Anthony Sowell was a very vicious, but lesser known serial killer. He was the worst serial killer in all of Cleveland’s history, and was dubbed ‘The Cleveland Strangler’ by the media. He had a rough childhood, and was abused by his mother, but he also abused his nieces, sexually. He joined the Marines, and should have stayed there. He was a good Marine. But after he got out, he turned to crack, and started sexually assaulting women. In 1985, he kidnapped and raped and assaulted a woman who escaped, and he was sent to prison for 15 years for that. When he got out, he went back to his old habits, but escalated. He had a major heart attack in 2007, and THEN began his killing spree. He killed 11 women between 2007 and 2009….all while using crack and alcohol, WITH a pacemaker. He discarded the bodies in his own home, causing an awful smell, that was blamed on a sausage factory next door to his house. When he was caught in October, 2009, the bodies were discovered, and Cleveland was in shock. Filling in for Sandra on this episode is Kevin from the soon to be released podcast, History Goon.
