Send us Fan MailIn 1984, 22-year-old engineer Laura Black began working at ESL Inc. in Sunnyvale, California, where coworker Richard Farley quickly became obsessed with her. Despite repeatedly rejecting his advances, Farley stalked Laura for nearly four years—bombarding her with hundreds of letters, gifts, phone calls, and unwanted visits. He even obtained her personal information through deception, followed her to social events, and vandalized her property. After losing his job and just one day before a restraining order against him was set to take effect, Farley returned to ESL on February 16, 1988, armed with multiple firearms. He killed seven people, wounded four others—including Laura—and held police at bay during a five-hour siege before surrendering. The shocking case became one of the driving forces behind California's first anti-stalking law and inspired the 1993 television film Stalking Laura.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailTo the outside world, Betty Broderick had the perfect life. Living in an affluent San Diego suburb, she was the ultimate high-society housewife, mother to four children, and the rock behind her husband Dan’s meteoric rise to becoming one of the city's top medical-malpractice attorneys. For years, Betty sacrificed everything to support his dreams, expecting to finally enjoy the lifestyle they had built together.But the dream turned into a suburban nightmare when Dan hired a young new assistant, Linda Kolkena. What followed was a brutal, five-year disintegration of a marriage that would become widely known as the most toxic divorce in California history. As Betty found herself increasingly isolated, financially cut off, and pushed to the margins of the life she created, her retaliation escalated from angry voicemails to actions that shocked her community.On a quiet November morning in 1989, the escalating psychological warfare reached a point of no return inside a darkened bedroom. In this episode, we dive deep into the messy, polarizing story of the Broderick marriage. Was Betty a calculated, vindictive killer who refused to let go, or was she a woman driven to absolute madness by years of gaslighting and systemic legal torment?Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailWhat begins as an online fantasy spirals into one of the most shocking family annihilation cases in recent memory. Grant Amato seemed to have everything going for him—a supportive family, a nursing career, and a promising future. But behind closed doors, he became consumed by an obsession with a Bulgarian webcam model he had never met. As his fixation deepened, he drained his family's finances, stole hundreds of thousands of dollars, and pushed relationships to the breaking point.When Grant's parents and brother attempted a final intervention, tragedy followed. In January 2019, Chad, Margaret, and Cody Amato were found shot to death inside their Florida home. Prosecutors argued that Grant murdered his entire family to protect the fantasy world he had built online and then attempted to stage the scene as a murder-suicide. After a highly publicized trial, a jury found him guilty of three counts of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.In this episode, we examine the warning signs of digital obsession, the devastating impact of financial manipulation, and the chilling events that led to the deaths of an entire family. Could this tragedy have been prevented, or was the outcome inevitable once fantasy overtook reality?Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailTimothy Ray Jones Jr. was a South Carolina father who murdered his five children—Merah (8), Elias (7), Nahtahn (6), Gabriel (2), and Abigail (1)—in August 2014 in one of the most disturbing family homicide cases in recent U.S. history. Prosecutors said Jones killed the children at his home in Lexington County after becoming enraged and abusing them. He later admitted to killing all five children and transporting their bodies in his vehicle for several days before dumping them in a remote area of Alabama. Jones was arrested after a traffic stop in Mississippi raised suspicions. During his trial, the defense argued that he suffered from severe mental illness and drug-induced psychosis, while prosecutors maintained that he understood his actions and took deliberate steps to conceal the crimes. In 2019, a jury convicted him on five counts of murder and sentenced him to death. In 2023, the South Carolina Supreme Court upheld both his convictions and death sentence, rejecting his appeal. Jones remains on South Carolina's death row while additional appeals continue through the court system. The case is often cited as one of the most horrific child-murder cases in South Carolina history due to the number of victims, the ages of the children, and Jones's efforts to conceal the crimes. Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailThe Von Richthofen family murder was a notorious 2002 case in Brazil involving 18-year-old Suzane von Richthofen, who helped plan the murders of her wealthy parents, Manfred and Marísia von Richthofen, in São Paulo. Suzane, along with her boyfriend Daniel Cravinhos and his brother Cristian, arranged the killings while her parents slept in their home. The brothers beat the couple to death with iron bars, and the crime was initially staged to look like a burglary.Police quickly became suspicious after inconsistencies appeared in Suzane’s behavior and statements. Investigators uncovered the conspiracy within days, shocking Brazil because Suzane came from an affluent, educated family and appeared to have orchestrated the murders largely because her parents disapproved of her relationship with Daniel. All three were convicted in 2006 and sentenced to lengthy prison terms. The case remains one of Brazil’s most infamous true crime stories.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailIn January 2013, David Renz was just another name on a federal docket, facing disturbing charges for the possession of child pornography. He was fitted with an electronic monitoring bracelet and sent home to Cicero, New York, to await trial under the "watchful eye" of the U.S. Probation Office. He was supposed to be a man trapped within four walls. But behind the scenes, a catastrophic series of systemic failures was unfolding. This week, we dive into one of Central New York’s most harrowing cases of "what if." We explore how 46 separate tampering alerts went ignored by the authorities tasked with public safety, and how a faulty ankle monitor gave a predator the freedom to hunt. On a cold March night at a local shopping mall, the system’s negligence collided with the lives of Lori Bresnahan and her 10-year-old daughter. We break down the timeline of the carjacking that stunned a community, the heroic final stand of a mother fighting for her child, and the massive federal overhaul that followed in the wake of an unthinkable tragedy.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailBanita Jacks is a Washington, D.C. resident who was convicted in 2009 for the murder of her four daughters: Brittany (17), Tatianna (11), N'Kiah (6), and Aja (5). The case gained national attention due to the tragic circumstances of the girls' deaths and the systemic failures of local social services. In January 2008, U.S. Marshals arrived at Jacks’ southeast D.C. rowhouse to serve an eviction notice. Inside, they discovered the decomposing bodies of the four children in upstairs bedrooms. Investigators estimated the girls had been dead for several months, potentially since the late summer of 2007, during which time Jacks continued to live in the home with the remains. Jacks waived her right to a jury trial, leaving the decision to D.C. Superior Court Judge Frederick H. Weisberg. In July 2009, she was convicted of four counts of felony murder, three counts of first-degree premeditated murder, and four counts of child cruelty. In December 2009, Banita Jacks was sentenced to 120 years in prison (30 years for each child). The case led to significant reforms in Washington, D.C.'s Child and Family Services Agency after it was revealed that multiple reports of neglect had not been properly investigated prior to the murders.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailIn October 2019, Wade Wilson, a 25-year-old from Fort Myers, Florida, committed the brutal murders of two women in Cape Coral. On October 6, Wilson met 35-year-old Kristine Melton at a local bar and accompanied her home. The following morning, he strangled Melton to death in her residence. Later that day, Wilson encountered 43-year-old Diane Ruiz as she walked to work. After luring her into a vehicle he had stolen from Melton, Wilson strangled Ruiz and, upon realizing she was still alive, ran her over multiple times, leading to her death. ​In June 2024, a jury convicted Wilson of two counts of first-degree premeditated murder, along with charges of grand theft, burglary, battery, and petit theft. The jury recommended the death penalty, which was upheld by Circuit Judge Nicholas Thompson in August 2024. Judge Thompson cited the heinous, atrocious, and cruel nature of the murders, as well as the cold, calculated premeditation of the second murder, as factors in his decision. ​Wilson's crimes have had a profound impact on the Cape Coral community and the families of the victims. Melton was remembered as a cat lover and a great friend, while Ruiz was a mother of two sons and described as the "heartbeat of the bar" where she worked.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailShana Grice was a 19-year-old woman from Brighton, England, who was murdered in August 2016 after months of escalating stalking by her ex-boyfriend. After their breakup, Michael Lane repeatedly harassed Shana—sending messages, showing up uninvited, and vandalizing her car. Shana reported his behavior to Sussex Police multiple times, but officers minimized the threat. In one instance, police even fined Shana for wasting police time after Lane claimed she was exaggerating the stalking. On August 25, 2016, Lane broke into Shana’s home, stabbed her to death, and then set the house on fire in an attempt to destroy evidence. He later admitted to the killing. In 2018, Lane was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. An independent review found that police failures—missed warning signs, poor risk assessment, and a lack of understanding of stalking dynamics—directly contributed to Shana’s death. Her case is now frequently cited as a tragic example of how stalking is underestimated until it turns fatal.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Some say her eyes follow trespassers, others claim her ghost appears beneath the angel’s outstretched wings when the clock strikes midnight.Finally, we explore the mystery of The Devil’s Slide, a massive rock formation along I-84 said to mark the path of the devil himself—leaving behind a scar of stone as eternal evidence of his fall.Join us as we separate folklore from fact, superstition from strange coincidence, and uncover what these legends might reveal about Utah’s darker side.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailThe Exorcism of Michael Taylor is one of Britain’s most disturbing and infamous cases of alleged demonic possession.Michael Taylor was a 31-year-old man from Ossett, West Yorkshire, living a quiet life with his wife Christine and their five children. In 1974, he became deeply involved in a local Christian fellowship group led by Marie Robinson, a young, charismatic pastor. Christine grew suspicious of their relationship and confronted him publicly, triggering what witnesses described as a violent outburst—Taylor shouted obscenities and claimed evil was inside him.Believing he was possessed, local ministers arranged an all-night exorcism on October 5, 1974, at St. Thomas’s Church. Over seven hours, priests attempted to cast out dozens of supposed demons representing vices such as anger, lust, and blasphemy. Exhausted, they ended the ritual early—saying a few demons still remained.Only hours later, Taylor brutally murdered his wife, tearing out her eyes and tongue and stripping her flesh. He was found naked, covered in blood, claiming, “It is the blood of Satan.”Psychiatrists later attributed his actions to mental illness rather than possession. Taylor was found not guilty by reason of insanity and spent years in psychiatric care.The case remains one of the most chilling intersections of faith, psychology, and violence in modern British history.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailThe Eriksson twins, Ursula and Sabina Eriksson, are Swedish twin sisters whose bizarre and disturbing behavior in 2008 became the subject of worldwide attention and speculation.In May 2008, the twins traveled unexpectedly from Ireland to England for reasons that remain unclear. While on the M6 motorway near Stoke-on-Trent, they were filmed by a BBC camera crew for the show Motorway Cops after running into traffic and being struck by vehicles. Despite suffering serious injuries, both women displayed extraordinary strength and erratic behavior — screaming, resisting police, and attempting to re-enter traffic.After being released from custody, Sabina appeared calm, but within hours, she fatally stabbed a man named Glenn Hollinshead in Fenton. She then jumped off a bridge but survived and was later convicted of manslaughter due to diminished responsibility.The case remains infamous for its unsettling mix of shared psychosis (folie à deux), unexplained motives, and shocking violence.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailThe Redhead Murders were a series of unsolved killings that took place across several Southern states in the U.S. during the early to mid-1980s. The victims—at least six women, possibly more—were all young, light-complexioned, and had reddish or strawberry-blonde hair. Their bodies were discovered along highways in states like Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia, and Mississippi.Many of the women were never identified for years, and investigators believed they were likely hitchhikers, sex workers, or women living on the margins of society, making them vulnerable targets. The murders shared similar patterns: victims were strangled or asphyxiated and left near major roadways.Despite investigations and task forces, the case remains unsolved. In recent years, DNA technology and renewed interest have helped identify some of the Jane Does, such as Tina Farmer and Lisa Nichols, but the killer—or killers—have never been conclusively caught.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailKrystal Lynn Beslanowitch was a 17-year-old who had moved from Spokane, Washington, to Utah in hopes of starting fresh. On December 15, 1995, her body was discovered along the Provo River near Midway, Utah. She had been brutally beaten to death with large rocks, which were found bloodstained nearby.The case went cold for nearly two decades, despite investigators collecting DNA from the rocks at the scene. In 2013, advances in forensic technology allowed police to recover a partial DNA profile from the rocks, which was then matched to Joseph Michael Simpson, a former Utah resident who had since moved to Florida. Simpson, who had a criminal history, was extradited to Utah and charged with Krystal’s murder.In 2016, Simpson was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, finally bringing closure to a case that had haunted investigators for 18 years.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailAfter the bodies of three eight-year-old boys—Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers—were discovered in a wooded area of West Memphis, Arkansas, in May 1993, police launched a high-profile investigation. The brutal nature of the crime led authorities to suspect it was connected to satanic ritual activity, a theory influenced by the ongoing “Satanic Panic” of the era. Attention soon focused on three local teenagers: Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. Echols, known for his interest in heavy metal music and occult topics, quickly became the prime suspect. Misskelley, who had intellectual disabilities, gave a confession after hours of police interrogation—though it was riddled with inconsistencies and did not match many of the crime scene details. Baldwin, a close friend of Echols, was implicated largely through association. Together, they became known as the “West Memphis Three,” the central figures in a controversial case that many believe was driven more by fear and prejudice than solid evidence.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailThe Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) is a conservative Christian organization founded in 1961 by Bill Gothard, promoting strict biblical living through homeschooling, rigid gender roles, and obedience to authority. Its teachings emphasize large families, courtship over dating, and avoiding mainstream culture.The Duggar family, made famous by TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting, were prominent followers of IBLP, publicly embracing its values. Parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar raised their children under these teachings, homeschooling them and promoting modesty, purity, and traditional gender roles. However, both IBLP and the Duggars have faced public scrutiny—IBLP for abuse and misconduct allegations against Gothard, and the Duggars for scandals involving family members, which brought renewed attention to the group’s controversial practices.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan Mail Sierra Mae LaMar, a 15‑year‑old freshman from Morgan Hill, California, went missing on the morning of March 16, 2012, while walking to her school bus. Within days, her cellphone and pink backpack containing her clothes were found in rural areas nearby. Forensic evidence showed signs she may have been abducted. DNA testing matched genetic material on her jeans and belongings to Antolin Garcia‑Torres, who lived about seven miles away and had a history of violence. Additional DNA evidence was discovered in his Volkswagen Jetta—hair on a rope and fibers on her clothing. In May 2017, after a 13‑week capital murder trial, Garcia‑Torres was found guilty of kidnapping and murdering Sierra, as well as attempted kidnappings of three women in 2009. The jury determined he should spend life in prison without the possibility of parole. Crucially, Sierra’s body has never been found, despite extensive volunteer searches—over 1,100 search efforts totaling around 50,000 volunteer hours.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailMichael Cochran, a 38‑year‑old from Beckley, West Virginia, died unexpectedly in February 2019, initially believed to be from a medical condition after exhibiting severe brain swelling and dangerously low blood sugar. Subsequent investigation revealed his wife, Natalie Cochran—a former pharmacist—had been running a $2 million Ponzi scheme through a fake government contracting company they had started together. Prosecutors allege Natalie poisoned him with an insulin injection to prevent him from learning the truth before a critical investor meeting. In November 2021, after Natalie had already received an 11‑year federal sentence for fraud, authorities exhumed Michael’s body. Forensic pathologist Dr. Paul Uribe testified that the evidence pointed to homicide by exogenous insulin administration. The defense countered that due to decomposition, the cause was “undetermined and undeterminable” and suggested Michael may have self‑administered insulin for bodybuilding. On January 29, 2025, a jury convicted Natalie of first‑degree murder. She was sentenced to life in prison without parole, concluding a tragic chain of deception motivated by financial ruin.Support the showThanks for all the support!!

Send us Fan MailIn 1978, 15-year-old Barbara Nantais was brutally murdered on Torrey Pines State Beach in San Diego, California, while camping with her boyfriend, Jim Alt, who was severely injured but survived. She was beaten, strangled, sexually assaulted, and mutilated. The case went cold due to insufficient evidence. Six years later, in 1984, 14-year-old Claire Hough, visiting from Rhode Island, was found murdered on the same beach with similar injuries—strangled, sexually assaulted, and mutilated. In 2012, DNA evidence linked Claire’s murder to Ronald Tatro, a convicted rapist, and Kevin Brown, a former San Diego Police Department criminalist. Tatro died in 2011, and Brown died by suicide in 2014 before charges were filed, amid claims of possible evidence contamination. Despite similarities, police concluded the murders were not connected. Barbara’s killer remains unidentified, and both cases remain unresolved, leaving lasting grief for the victims’ families.Support the showThanks for all the support!!
