  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Hosted by real-life couple William Cannon and Elise Buedel, Killer Heart to Hearts isn’t just another true crime podcast. It’s immersive, sharply written, and emotionally honest. With a tone that’s darkly witty, culturally aware, and often chilling, each episode dissects stories of murder, disappearance, and betrayal — always with a human heartbeat beneath the horror. Whether it’s the psychology of an incel, the mystery of a locked hotel room, or a murder staged to look like a suicide, we dive into the shadows — and bring our listeners with us.

    69. Love Is A Battlefield

    They thought it was just a drive. One friend in the backseat. One boyfriend riding shotgun. And a teenage girl behind the wheel. But what happened next wasn’t an accident. It was a decision. And once the car hit 100 miles per hour… there was no turning back.

    High above the clouds, where the air is thin and rescue is nearly impossible… a climber makes history. But on the way down, something goes terribly wrong.

    67. King

    April 1968. Memphis, Tennessee. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. comes to stand with striking sanitation workers — exhausted, under surveillance, and living with constant threats. Then, outside Room 306 at the Lorraine Motel, a single gunshot silences one of America’s most important voices. What follows is chaos: a manhunt, a case full of contradictions, and questions that never stopped.

    After Dark: Vanishing Point

    In August 2016, a family of five left their redcurrant farm in Silvan, Victoria — driving north with a wad of cash, while their phones and bank cards stayed behind. Over the next few days, they fractured across New South Wales and Victoria, turning up one by one — distressed, disoriented, and convinced they were being followed. No kidnappers. No robbery. No clear “why.” Just a family that seemed to collectively slip out of reality…in broad daylight.

    66. 3'S Bar

    A crowded St. Patrick’s night in downtown Longmont, CO. After last call, Rita Gutierrez-Garcia steps into the alley west of 3’S Bar. At 3:07 a.m., her phone dials 911…and then goes silent.  And Rita never makes it home.  What follows is a years-long hunt through cell data, surveillance pulls, and a no-body indictment that ends only when someone finally tells detectives exactly where to look.

    AFTER DARK: Lost In Paradise

    She went to Jamaica to write about beaches. Instead, she became a story the island couldn’t explain. In May 2000, travel writer Claudia Kirschhoch vanished from a luxury resort in Negril. Her clothes were still in the room. Her passport. Her camera. Her life. Only her bathing suit, a T-shirt, and a radio were missing. And somewhere between breakfast and sunset… she disappeared.

    AFTER DARK: Hallelujah

    People like to say Jeff Buckley’s death was poetic. That it meant something. That it was fate, legacy, or some tragic echo of his father. It wasn’t. Jeff drowned after wading into a dangerous river at dusk. The myth came later — because the truth was too ordinary for a voice like his.
