    Escape from a House of Horrors: The Turpin Family

    On January 14, 2018, 17-year-old Jordan Turpin did the unthinkable: She broke out of the home where she and her 12 siblings were being heled prisoner by their parents, and, using a stolen cell phone, she called 911. 90 minutes later, police entered the home and discovered a horror that's almost impossible to imagine: Children chained to beds, living in filth, emaciated from years of malnutrition. The decades-long nightmare was over, but how on Earth had these parents been able to conceal their abuses for so long?

    The World's Most Evil Killers: Todd Christopher Kohlepp

    On November 3, 2016, authorities found 30 year old Kala Brown handcuffed to a pipe inside a storage container on property owned by popular local real estate agent Todd Kohlepp. Kohlepp had kept the missing woman as his prisoner for 65 days. A few hundred feet away, the authorities found the buried bodies of four other missing people--and they would soon discover that Kohlepp was also responsible for an unsolved quadruple homicide nearly two decades earlier.

My Favourite

This is the only pod I’ve ever paid for and I’ve listened to lots. Gillian and Patrick have the right combination. They bounce off each other so well and are so funny.. I love the way Gillian genuinely makes Patrick laugh his head off, she is such a natural. How can you recite such horrific stories and be hilarious at the same time?!! Don’t change please 🙏🏼

Gone off the rails.

This podcast has slid into a complete money grab from their audience. No respect for the “FAM” that has supported them for years, no accountability for their terrible behaviour, exposed in recent months. I used to be a regular listener however have been increasingly disengaged by the constant push for ObsessedFest to Merch to the book and the travelling book party!

Duped

TCO got me through so much but I noticed last year something changed and the chemistry was non existent. Now with all the things that have come to light I can see why.

I just feel duped. I’m disappointed in the people I spent so much time listening to and feeling connected with because it was all a lie.

To top of off I was kicked out of the Facebook group for RESPECTFULLY and POLITELY sharing that I didn’t think their statement was enough. Simply because I disagreed with you and you decided to engage in censorship.

I’m disappointed and won’t be wasting my time with this podcast anymore. I hope you can grow from this and be a better person in the future. Much love x
