Welcome to America’s Most Infamous Crimes. Katie Ring takes you deep into cases that have left a lasting imprint on society, and still haunt us today. Ted Bundy didn’t fit the image of a killer. He was educated, ambitious, and outwardly composed, the kind of man people trusted without hesitation. In this first episode, Katie traces the early fractures that shaped him: family secrets, rejection, mounting resentment, and the double life he quietly began to build. While pursuing politics and studying law, Bundy nurtured violent fantasies he would later describe as a dark force inside him called “the entity”. When he chose to give in to it, no one could predict what was coming.

In 2011, 27 year-old teacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment with twenty stab wounds, ten of them in her back, and a knife still lodged in her chest. The door was locked from the inside, the room spotless, and the investigation quickly shifted from homicide to suicide, despite bruises, conflicting evidence, and a crime scene that was cleaned within hours. Morgan and Kaelyn break down the timeline, the missteps, the autopsy contradictions, and the years-long fight Ellen’s parents have waged to prove their daughter was murdered.

In this episode of Crimes Of... Sabrina and Corinne unpack the disturbing and deeply complex case of Susan Polk—a woman who married her own therapist and, decades later, killed him. What begins as a troubling story of blurred boundaries and unethical behavior evolves into a marriage defined by power imbalances, emotional control, and escalating instability. Rather than asking whether Susan killed her husband—because she did—this episode examines how a relationship rooted in grooming and manipulation shaped the path to violence. Through a careful exploration of Susan’s life, her marriage to Dr. Felix Polk, and the dynamics that defined their relationship, this episode lives in the gray space where love, abuse, and accountability collide.

This week on True Crime This Week, Vanessa Richardson revisits two courtroom battles that defined true crime in the 1990s. First, the sensational Menendez brothers trial, where Lyle and Erik’s confession to murdering their parents collided with shocking abuse claims and a defense strategy that split the jury and ended in a mistrial. Then, the trial of serial killer Aileen Wuornos, whose claims of self-defense unraveled under scrutiny as jurors convicted her of murdering seven men across Florida. From media-fueled trials to emotional testimony and verdicts that stunned the nation, this episode explores how justice plays out when killers take the stand—and how courts separate truth from manipulation.

This episode of True Crime This Week dives into two of Boston’s most infamous and enduring mysteries: the chilling 1960s killing spree attributed to the Boston Strangler—capped by Albert DeSalvo’s controversial confession, later recantation, and mysterious prison death—and the audacious 1950 Brink’s heist, where a disciplined crew of professional thieves executed a near-perfect $2.7 million robbery and evaded justice until betrayal from within unraveled their operation. Vanessa Richardson guides listeners through both cases, tracing how fear, political pressure, and well-timed confessions shaped these historic investigations and left behind questions that still haunt Boston today.

The investigation into the disappearance of Olivia Hope and Ben Smart intensifies in this second episode, following detectives as they seize on 26-year-old Scott Watson as their primary suspect despite mismatched witness descriptions, a missing boat, and no bodies ever found. Carter and Vanessa examine the controversial forensic hair evidence, disputed scratch marks, shifting witness identifications, jailhouse informants, and the prosecution’s improvised “two-trip theory,” all of which led to Watson’s conviction in one of New Zealand’s most divisive murder cases. As key witnesses later recant and public skepticism grows, the episode explores decades of appeals, wavering public opinion, and the families’ painful search for closure—raising the haunting question of whether the truth about what happened to Olivia and Ben has ever truly been uncovered.Follow Murder: True Crime Stories on your podcast app: https://play.megaphone.fm/6g4bv3tos9yn9abg2yeakg To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

This week in crime history, we revisit two of the most infamous killers of the 20th century — men whose charm masked unimaginable evil.On December 30th, 1977, Ted Bundy slipped through the ceiling of his Colorado jail cell and vanished into the night, igniting one of the most infamous manhunts in American history. His escape would lead to more murders and cement his place as one of the world’s most notorious serial killers.Then, we travel back to January 3rd, 1972, when John Wayne Gacy — a seemingly ordinary suburban businessman known for his charity work and clown performances — claimed his first victim. Over the next six years, Gacy would lure and murder more than 30 young men, hiding many of their bodies beneath his home.Join Vanessa Richardson as she unpacks the twisted psychology and lasting impact of these two killers who redefined how America sees evil — reminding us that the most dangerous monsters often look just like everyone else.
