    Episode 3: The Most Hated Man in Louisville

    Listen to Episode 3, a detailed episode that chronicles the story of then 36-year-old Brenda Sue Schaefer and her unfortunate demise in Louisville, Kentucky in 1988. Brenda was killed by ex-boyfriend, Mel Ignatow, but not before being kidnapped, raped, sodomized, and tortured by him first. Much to Louisville’s dismay, Mel was acquitted of the murder. However, after an incredible discovery six months later in October of 1992, he was proven to be the killer…only nothing could be done about it: double jeopardy saved him, and the town was infuriated. Learn about Brenda, how she became entangled with Mel Ignatow, how the trial proceeded, and Ignatow’s own coincidental but karmaic ending

    Episode 2 features the gruesome 1985 kidnapping, rape, and murder of innocent eight-year-old, Nichole Lopatta. Please heed the disclaimer at the beginning of the episode, as it features explicit details about the sexual and violent nature of the crime. At the end, I briefly give describe why Wille continues to appeal this conviction. However, as it stands, he IS considered a serial killer.
