    S. 8 Episode 12: Folie à Deux: The Eriksson Twins

    They say twins have unbreakable bonds. Ones where they develop secret twin languages, intense connections and experiences, and so on. But what about twins that display erratic, completely psychotic behavior together? In this episode, Ashley discusses Ursula and Sabina Eriksson, identical twins from Sweden.  Two women stood in the median of one of the busiest highways in the country. Then, one after the other, they ran directly into moving traffic.

    S. 8 Episode 11: Watched, Controlled, Silenced: The Murder of Dominique ‘Nique’ Leili

    **Listener discretion advised. This episode discusses stalking, domestic violence, and intimate partner homicide.** As January marks Stalking Awareness Month, Kat introduces us to Dominique “Nique” Leili - a devoted moom navigating a troubled marriage—& a victim of escalating control & surveillance that ultimately turned deadly.   In 2011, Dominique disappeared in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Months later, her remains were discovered in a wooded area, and suspicion quickly focused on her husband, Matthew Leili. What followed was a deeply unsettling case marked by recorded jailhouse phone calls, conflicting accounts from their daughters, years of legal appeals, and a defense that framed Dominique’s murder as a mystery—despite substantial evidence presented at trial.  In this episode, Kat takes us through the case & reminds us all that stalking is not a “lesser” offense. It is a documented predictor of intimate partner homicide.  This is the hill Kat will die on, y'all! Grab a drink and join us as we explore the darker side of humanity - with beer!

    S. 8 Episode 10: Amber Hagerman's Legacy: The Story Behind the AMBER Alert

    In this week's episode, Ashley discusses the abduction and murder of Amber Hagerman, a 9 year old child from Arlington, TX in 1996. Her case led to the creation of the AMBER Alert system as well as the national sex offenders registry list amongst many other positive law changes involving how we treat child abductions. We discuss some of the laws plus international variations of the AMBER alert system.  Amber's case is considered a cold case. If you have any information please contact the Arlington Police Department or Crime Stopper's anonymous hotline.

    S. 8 Episode 6: The Butcher of Plainfield – The Ed Gein Story Part 1

    In 1957, a missing-person call in small-town Wisconsin led police to a farmhouse that would redefine horror forever. What they found inside Ed Gein’s home shocked the nation — and inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. Kat takes you deep into the chilling true story behind “The Butcher of Plainfield” — a quiet, lonely man whose obsession with his mother and the dead blurred the line between grief and madness.  References: “Ed Gein.” Wikipedia –  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein“Ed Gein.” Britannica – biographical overview and case summary. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ed-Gein“Real-Life Psycho Ed Gein Dies.” History.com ( https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/july-26/real-life-psycho-ed-gein-diesCrime + Investigation Network (UK). “Ed Gein – The Butcher of Plainfield.” https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/ed-geinA&E / Biography. “Ed Gein’s Childhood: The Butcher of Plainfield Fixated on His Domineering Mother.” https://www.aetv.com/articles/ed-geins-childhood-the-butcher-of-plainfield-fixated-on-his-domineering-motherTIME Magazine. “Portrait of America’s Original Psycho Killer.  https://time.com/3879490/ed-gein-portrait-of-americas-original-psycho-killerLawyer Monthly. “Ed Gein Timeline – True Story, Crimes, Trial & Legal Legacy.” https://www.lawyer-monthly.com/2025/10/ed-gein-timeline-true-story-crimes-trial-legal-legacyHarold Schechter.
