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

Join us for a crazy case. In 1985, Joseph Lee Fordham murdered 11 year old Mary Styles. He then began taunting the police with cryptic letters and riddles that he mailed to them. But who he actually was shocked everyone. The media dubbed him as ‘The Riddler.’ We discuss this, and go over his riddles, as well as the shocking twist at the end of the episode. Dick Darwin Dallas Detective also makes an appearance.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/⁠Blog that I usedhttps://ididitforjodiearchive.wordpress.com/2025/01/01/the-low-rent-zodiac-killer-and-the-mysteries-of-texas/

Kevin takes the lead tonight! Edward Paisnel was born in 1925 on the island of Jersey in the English Channel — a small, quiet island that had been occupied by Nazi Germany during WWII and that most people associate with tax havens and dairy cows rather than one of the most disturbing criminal casesin British history. He was a married man, a father figure to foster children, a pillar of the community who dressed as Father Christmas at local events and was known to be kind to children. He was also, for eleven years, the most wanted man in Jersey — a serial rapist who stalked his victims at night in a handmade costume of nails and toads, broke into homes, and terrorized the island's population so thoroughly that families locked their doors for over a decade while police repeatedly came up empty. The episode covers his deeply strange early life, his marriage to a woman who ran a business catering to children, the bizarre occult paraphernalia found in a secret room in his home, the eleven-year investigation that couldn'tcatch him, and the accidental traffic stop in 1971 that finally ended it. It covers his trial, his conviction on multiple counts including rape and indecent assault, his 30-year sentence, his death in 1994, and the question that his case leaves open: how does a man live a double life that specific and that monstrous for over a decade while the people around him see nothing? It also covers the detail that his wife — who had run a business called Auntie Ivu's Party for children — claimed she had no idea. And the detail that searchers found a secret room in his home containing a correspondence with a Satanic church, a specially made jacket covered in nails and concrete, four live toads, and photographs.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/⁠

Cliff joins us, and tells his experiences in the early days, leading up to the raid, which was when he decided it was time to go.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the tragic murder of Sydney Loofe, the 24-year-old Nebraska woman whose disappearance in November 2017 quickly became one of the most disturbing cases in recent memory. What began with a Tinder date ended in a horrifying crime that captivated the nation and ultimately led investigators to Aubrey Trail and Bailey Boswell.We’re also joined by author Chet Hardin, who wrote a book about the case based on his interviews with perps, Aubrey Trail and Bailey Boswell. Chet offers a unique perspective on the case and discusses his conversations with the two people at the center of it, giving us an opportunity to examine their accounts, the investigation, and the events surrounding Sydney’s death from a perspective rarely available to the public. And, we had a lot of fun as well. I think we found a new and improved way to have authors on the show.Get Chet Hardin’sbook, The Vampire's Cult: The Untold Story of Obsession, Control, and a Shocking Small-Town Murder on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1464258937/?bestFormat=true&k=the%20vampire%27s%20cult%20chet%20hardin&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-bk-ww_k1_1_11_de&crid=1M7Y0GQ9JO3ES&sprefix=Chet%20HardinContact 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/⁠

We’re gonna get CULTY tonight! Its the disturbing rise and violent downfall of Taylor Helzer and the self-proclaimed Children of Thunder cult. What began as a spoiled Mormon Mama's boy led to Helzer deciding that HE was the Mormon prophet, and that he had to defeat the Mormons, and take control. Helzer's increasingly bizarre religious claims spiraled into manipulation, paranoia, and ultimately a brutal series of murders in Northern California in 2000. We explore how charismatic control, apocalyptic beliefs, and unquestioning loyalty enabled unimaginable violence, while breaking down the investigation that exposed the group's crimes and the lasting impact on the victims' families. Thisepisode focuses on the warning signs of coercive cult dynamics and the tragic consequences of unchecked extremism.

NOTE: THIS EPISODE IS AUDIO ONLY! Sorry about that. The video gets corrupted sometimes.Baron Colon was a street gangster in Miami, FL. He participated in a murder, and wasn’t charged initially due to lack of evidence. But, he WAS a suspect. The case went cold until he went onto a reality TV show called From Gs to Gents, where they would take street gangsters and turn them into gentlemen. This brought interest in the case back to the forefront.

So, for part 5 and the conclusion of the 5 Lethal Ladies Binge, we’re bringing you a lesser known, one off case...and unlike the other 4 lethal ladies, this one is a poisoner. Nikki Capella had a great husband, and a perfect little girl. She also had a good job as a nurse. But she had something else that she loved more than everything that gave her a life that many people dream of. Her painkillers. Rather than straighten up, and fix herself, she threw it all away, and is now in prison for life.Nikki’s Interrogation:https://youtu.be/A2mnS5EVJrY?si=T7Vi4Itwf6uxYi9AContact 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/⁠

And, we may actually be the only podcast to figure out WHY so many men were willing to be with her, despite her bad reputation (And no, its not because she was good in bed.

In the second installment of the Lethal Ladies Binge, we are covering Dana Sue Gray. A very vicious serial killer who was more vicious than probably a third of the men we’ve covered on this show. She was entitled since the day she was born, and her sole reason for existence was to live large...at someone else’s expense. One day, she got the idea that if she killed rich old ladies, she could rob them and fund her lifestyle. But, she’s also our favorite type of serial killer. An idiot.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/⁠

Tonight, Kevin takes the lead, and tells us the story of Leonarda Cianciulli. From birth, she stood no chance. Her mother hated her from birth, and it just gets worse. She got into witchcraft, and because of a prophecy by a fortune teller, saying she’d outlive all her kids, she got busy learning the trade, and decided that the curse would not come true. When her son joined the army and went into WW2, she decided that human sacrifice would keep him alive. She killed at least 3 women, probably more, and used their body renderings to make soap and pastries. She, and quite a few unsuspecting people ate the pastries and used the soap...But, her son survived WW2…Join us!Contact the show at⁠[email protected]⁠History Goon links: https://www.facebook.com/groups/historygoonhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9d7is-xxGztCVrlezdRL-ACKCA links:⁠https://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/⁠⁠https://twitter.com/CKC_Beer⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyuqDB2Dlszhpc_pGca29w⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/257328477392782/⁠

Now, he is out, and seeking justice the legal way.This is a long episode, and you won’t be able to stop listening.Due to the way the story flows, there are NO edits in this.

But, the investigation into her murder had a deep pool of suspects and persons of interests including a love triangle before they finally found the killer due to his stupidity...And, a little bit ofluck.

Cross promotion time! In case our listeners haven't made it over to check out Kevin's show, here's a full length episode of it. This is what Wiki says about this guy:Danny Greene was an American ⁠mobsterin ⁠Cleveland, OH whose conflicts with the ⁠Cleveland,OH Crime Family of the Italian American Mafia ended in Greene's murder in 1977. Greene would build a close working relationship with Shondor Birns, as neither of them could become a "made" man in the Italian mob due to lack of Italian ancestry.

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.

History Goon, Kevin takes lead again and brings us another God awful and horrific story. Marc Lepine, aka Incel One. In 1989, he shot 14 and killed women, and wounded many more at a Canadian college. Why? He hated women. Why? They had no business in the work place, or anywhere else other than at home, making babies. Good thing no woman degradedherself enough to make a baby with him.

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.

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

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/
