S2 / EP17: The Murdaugh Murders

This case has all the makings of a tv special or a movie, without a doubt. The case has saturated the media, in large part due to the high profile family that is linked to the case, but also do to a pending trial involving the son of the Murdaugh family, Paul, as well as the mysterious death of a young man in 2015. It will be interesting to follow the developments of this case, and when there are updates (aka "arrests") I'll be sure to post a follow up to the episode. In the

S2 / EP16: Deadly Dad, John Battaglia

In doing the research for my content, I read several crime cases each day, and some of them ultimately will drop from my mind, never to be remembered again. Trust me, that's not such a bad thing...the horrors of some of these cases can make their mark on you. What John Battaglia did in the spring of 2001, is an example of one case that will do just that. This case will stick with you. It's a heart-wrenching reminder that domestic violence has no boundaries, no limitations...a

S2 / EP15: The Strange Murder of Robert Wone

This is truly the most bizarre case you will ever hear. The first time I came across this case, I almost couldn't believe it. Is this case the perfect murder? Quite possibly, yes. All clues point to someone in the house, but when you hear the case, you'll feel as if you're in a real life game of Clue. The evidence at the crime scene doesn't make sense, the wounds don't make sense...and after you hear this episode you'll be wondering - as I did - "who did it?" Transcribed Epi

S2 / EP14: The Monster Preacher: Gary Heidnik

Gary Heidnik decided in 1986 that he would capture, imprison, torture and rape women in the basement of his Philadelphia house. Two of those women never made it out of his basement alive. Gary tried to plead insanity, but his lifestyle of acquiring fancy cars, racking up stocks worth over half a million dollars, being an actual bishop of a church, and a life filled with manipulation, proved otherwise. This episode will provide some background on Gary's upbringing and initial

S1 / EP13: Krim Family Murders: Yoselyn Ortega

When I was prepping to do this case, I already knew the story...I recall when it hit the news and I thought, this can't be real? I remember seeing photos of Marina Krim's anguished face as she was driving away in an ambulance. The terror, the heartache, the utter devastation on her face - I'll never forget it. There is evil in this world, and it comes in many forms, but no one would ever imagine that it would come from someone who was hired to care for your children. If you w

S1 / EP12: Parkland School Shooting: Nikolas Cruz

I can remember when this school shooting happened...I recall seeing the massive news coverage and the immediate deep dive into trying to uncover the shooters past history, his family life, his motives for destroying so many lives. The fact that the youngest of our society can be harmed in a place meant for educating, for bringing wisdom and knowledge to our children, is unfathomable.

S1 / EP11: Halloween Edition

For this special edition episode, I wanted to talk about crimes that occurred on Halloween night. Surprisingly there are actually many cases that occurred on that particular holiday, but I found the two cases that I talk about in this episode especially intriguing due to the unusual nature of the crimes themselves. The first case dives into a family's dynamic and how even though blatant warning signs may be given by a potentially violent individual, many times they are ignore

S1 / EP10: Dorothea Puente "The Death House Landlady"

This case is a frightening account of how an individual's traumatic life experiences and abusive upbringing have the capability of producing someone who is capable of murdering another human being. I had heard about this case briefly in the past, but didn't dive into the particulars until I began researching this episode, and was surprised to learn that the residence where these crimes occurred, still stands today. You will be shocked at how a middle-aged landlady, who had th

S1 / EP09: "Behind Closed Doors" The Turpin Family

This is the heartbreaking story of the Turpin family of Perris California. The media dubbed the family's home the "House of Horrors" as what was discovered in their home, which included 13 children, was shocking. This was one of the more difficult cases I've done, but it gave me this opportunity to bring awareness and discussion to an important issue that continues to be prevalent in homes and in families today.

S1 / EP08: The Pike County Murders: Part 2

Here we are at Part 2 of The Pike County Murders. With no suspects named after over 2 years into the investigation, the public thought that the killers would never be found, and that no one would be arrested. When suspects were actually named at a public news conference, complete shock went through the county of Piketon as well as the general public. Those individuals allegedly responsible for the Rhoden and Gilley murders were not in fact members of a drug cartel, but were

S1 / EP07: The Pike County Murders: Part 1

I'm starting to think there's something in the water in rural Ohio! When this case hit the news, I immediately assumed this was a drug deal gone bad. It had all the markings of that type of crime - eight people from the same family murdered, children spared, and marijuana plants on the premises. It all seemed to fit, except when the suspects were named and arrested. I've followed this case since the onset, and although it appears the suspects will not go to trial until possib

S1 / EP06: Geza de Kaplany "The Acid Doctor"

This was a crime story that I read years ago and will stick with you simply due to its sheer brutality. What's interesting about this case, is that de Kaplany had no criminal history or history of prior violent behavior, nor did he commit any further crimes after this particular incident. Was this a case of momentary psychosis, or an extreme reaction to jealousy and insecurity? Transcribed EP06: Geza de Kaplany "The Acid Doctor" [Theme Intro Music Begins] [Host]: Content on

S1 / EP05: Christy Sheats & Cynthia Kessler Collier: Maternal Instincts

I describe in this episode the possible motives behind why a mother would harm her own children. Even having some knowledge of those reasons, I still find it difficult to fathom how a person can hurt or kill their own children. What goes on in the mind of someone in that circumstance, we'll certainly never know, but the ramifications of their actions run deep and are devastating.

S1 / EP04: Harold Henthorn: Mystery on Deer Mountain

Being an avid hiker and outdoors person, any crime involving trails or hiking always intrigues me. This is a case where nature was used not only as the setting but as a catalyst for murder. As human beings, this case proves that we really want to believe the best in people, in the end all we're looking for is to be loved. Toni Henthorn thought she found a good man, trusted her own judgment and intuition, even when her gut told her something was slightly "off" about her perfe

S1 / EP03: Natascha Kampusch and The Secret Cellar

Reading about an individual who has been abducted and suffered at the hands of another is difficult; reading about a child who has gone through this experience is heart breaking. As I read this story of a little girl who endured so much, it put so much in perspective about my own life, and how much we take for granted each and every day. Simple things like eating whatever you want, whenever you want, being able to turn on air conditioning when it gets hot, or simply looking

S1 / EP02: The Incident by the Pool: Honey & Barry Sherman

"Money is the root of all evil." Or should I say, having a lot of money and being a powerhouse in the pharmaceutical business seems to attract evil. The house where the murders were committed has since been demolished. This case remains unsolved to this day, and although the factors in this case seem to point to an obvious assumption of who could've committed this crime, I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions.

S1 / EP01: Todd Mullis "The Corn Rake Murder"

This case is a tragic example of how jealousy and greed can ruin an entire family. I came across this case by seeing some of the recorded trial online and it really resonated with me, mainly because of the innocuous location (rural Iowa) as well as the utter disbelief how some people go to extreme and often violent lengths to protect what they believe is rightfully theirs. If you get a chance, it's definitely worth watching any or all of the videotaped trial online. Transcri
