    EPISODE 104: Your Spell Is A Lie

    A man calls in a fire, first responders arrive, and he’s standing there with blood on his hands. Then he drops the line that makes your stomach turn: two kids are dead and it was a “spell gone bad.” We’re Jesse and Lindsay, and we’re walking you through the true crime case of Lawrence Douglas Harris Sr, a story that gets mislabeled as “witchcraft” when the real themes are control, jealousy, and violence hiding behind a mask. We trace how Larry meets Marla Strowman, how fast the relationship moves, and how he builds trust by looking like an amazing stepdad. Then the cracks show. Marla is Christian. Larry claims pagan beliefs, talks about Wicca, brings up Anton LaVey’s Satanic Bible, and starts pushing past boundaries, even involving the kids in conversations that make Marla deeply uncomfortable. As the marriage heads into conflict, we talk about practical red flags: possessiveness over platonic friendships, escalating fights, and what happens when someone with a bipolar disorder diagnosis stops taking medication and refuses follow-up care. When the case turns horrific, Larry tries to explain it with possession by the Hindu goddess Kali and “magic” gone wrong. We unpack what investigators and courtroom evidence reveal, why the “satanic panic” framing can be so misleading, and how people weaponize religion as a cover story. We also end the way we always do, with a band recommendation you can blast after you catch your breath. If you listen, share it with a friend who loves spooky season true crime, and leave a review.

    EPISODE 103: Ellen Greenberg couldn't have done it!

    Twenty stab wounds is not a detail you can shrug off, especially when ten are to the back of the head and neck. We unpack the death of Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia first grade teacher whose story became known as “Death in Apartment 603,” and we lay out why so many people hear the facts and immediately think: this cannot be suicide. We follow Ellen’s life leading up to January 2011, including her engagement to Sam Goldberg, the anxiety and codependency friends noticed afterward, and the mental health treatment that later gets used as a catch-all explanation. Then we walk through the blizzard-day timeline: Ellen at home doing normal things, Sam’s quick trip to the on-site gym, the latched door, the escalating texts, and the 911 call that still raises eyebrows once you know what happened before and after it. From there, we get into the evidence that keeps this case in the true crime spotlight: the autopsy findings, the bruising, the contradictions, and the devastating impact of a crime scene that gets cleaned before investigators treat it like it matters. We also talk about what accountability looks like when a system pushes for closure, and why Ellen’s family continues fighting for an honest ruling. If you care about true crime cases, suspicious deaths, criminal investigations, and how evidence handling can make or break justice, hit play.

    EPISODE 102: Ted Bundy PART 3

    A prison escapee shows up in Tallahassee with a new name and a “fresh start,” and within days the violence returns with a speed that still feels unreal. We walk through Ted Bundy’s final Florida spree, including the Chi Omega attacks near Florida State University, the evidence left behind, and the fear that ripples through survivors, families, and an entire campus community. We also trace the timeline beyond Tallahassee, from the attempted abduction in Jacksonville to the kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Kimberly Leach in Lake City, a case that hits especially hard when the locations are places we drive past in real life. Along the way, we talk about why early assumptions in missing child cases can be so damaging, and how small details like witnesses, a license plate, and a routine traffic stop can become the thread that finally ties cases together. From there, it’s the courtroom: the first nationally televised murder trial, Bundy’s choice to play his own defense, and how forensic evidence helps secure convictions and multiple death sentences. We end with the long appeals process, Bundy’s last-minute confession strategy, and the execution that closes the legal chapter but not the emotional one. Then, because we needed it, Jesse caps the series with a heavy band feature that gives us a real release after weeks in the dark. If you’ve followed this three-part series with us, thank you.

    EPISODE 101: Ted Bundy PART 2

    Ted Bundy doesn’t just “get worse” in the mid-70s. He speeds up, spreads out, and starts using the same tools and scripts again and again until someone finally catches a clear glimpse of what he’s carrying with him. We’re Jesse and Lindsay, and we take a hard look at Bundy Part Two as the timeline shifts from Washington to Salt Lake City, Utah, then across Idaho and Colorado. We talk through the cases that often get skipped in documentaries, the tightening cooling-off periods, and the chilling mix of charm and authority he leans on, including the fake police officer routine that survivor Carol DaRonch fights her way out of. We also get into the ugly logistics: long drives, revisiting victims, and why jurisdiction gaps in the 1970s made it easier for one predator to move between states. Then the story hits a major turn with a traffic stop and a search that reveals what can only be described as a murder kit, followed by multi-state investigators finally pooling intel at the Aspen Summit. And just when you think “at least he’s locked up,” the episode pivots into the courtroom and jail escape chapters that send him on the road, under an alias, toward Tallahassee and the next phase of the nightmare we’ll cover in Part Three. To cleanse the palate, we close with our band pick: In the Static and their track “Cloud Talk.” Hit follow, share this with a true crime friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

    RE-RELEASE of Aileen Wuornos And The Road To Murder

    A woman with a gun hitchhiking across Florida sounds like a myth until you follow the dates, the roads, and the bodies left behind. We tell the full story of Eileen Wuornos, from the brutal childhood that shaped her to the relationship and money pressure that set the stage for a fast, violent run through 1989 and 1990. Along the way, we talk about why Monster hit so hard, what the movie gets right, and what it smooths over to make the story easier to watch. We walk through each victim and the contradictions that keep showing up in Wuornos’ own telling of events, especially her shifting claims of self-defense. The pattern becomes clearer as the cooling-off periods shorten, the stolen cars and pawned weapons pile up, and the murders bounce across counties that do not immediately connect the dots. We also dig into the “how did she get caught” part, from the crashed Pontiac Sunbird and remembered faces to the aliases, the bar sting, and the jailhouse calls that help prosecutors lock in a confession. Then we sit with the end of the road: multiple death sentences, the media circus around a “female serial killer who killed like a man,” and the uncomfortable questions the case forces on anyone who listens to true crime for more than shock value. If you care about criminal psychology, trauma, accountability, and the death penalty, you will have opinions by the time we hit her last meal and last words.

    EPISODE 100: Ted Bundy PART 1

    Ted Bundy doesn’t start as a headline, he starts as a story people around him tell to make everything feel normal. For our 100th episode, we kick off season three with part one of a three-part series that traces how secrecy, shame, and early violence can sit right beside a polished smile, a law school plan, and a “seems like a good guy” reputation. We walk through Bundy’s early life and the identity lie that shaped it, plus the disturbing reports that show up long before the murders: cruelty, fear games, animal torture, voyeurism, and a growing need for control. We also talk about pornography and sexual violence content in the way Bundy later framed it, and why real prevention is less about moral panic and more about guidance, boundaries, and teaching what healthy relationships actually look like. Then the mask gets sharper. We dig into his ambition, theft, politics, and the relationships he uses as motivation and leverage, including Liz Kendall and the “Stephanie” breakup that fuels a long con. One of the most chilling turns is the crisis hotline era, where Bundy works alongside Ann Rule, who later becomes central to how the world understands the case. From there, we lay out the first known 1974 attacks in Washington State, the patterns in his approach, the jurisdiction chaos that slows investigations, and the Lake Sammamish day that puts “Ted” into public fear. If you’re into true crime podcast deep dives, serial killer psychology, and the real mechanics of how predators operate, this is where the timeline begins.

    Sleeping In The Lizzie Borden House

    We hit record from one of the most infamous addresses in American true crime: the Lizzie Borden house in Fall River, Massachusetts. We’re on a New England road trip, we’re exhausted, and we’re literally sleeping in the Lizzie and Emma suite while telling the story of the 1892 axe murders that still spark arguments 130 years later. The house is tight, creaky, and weirdly calm, which somehow makes the details hit harder.  We walk through the Borden family dynamics, Andrew Borden’s money and extreme frugality, the slow-building tension over property and loyalty, and the way Victorian expectations shaped how everyone judged Lizzie. Then we lay out the murder timeline: Abby Borden killed upstairs in the guest room, Andrew Borden killed later on the sitting room sofa, and the uncomfortable questions about what was heard, what was seen, and what could be missed in a house with tricky sightlines.  From there, we dig into the investigation and trial problems that true crime fans obsess over: Lizzie being given morphine and caffeine powder, stories that shift under pressure, the infamous bucket of bloody rags, axes and hatchets in the basement, and a murder weapon that’s never clearly identified. We also talk through why the blood evidence and basic logistics make us doubt the simplest explanation, even if you still suspect she knew more than she said.  We wrap with what happens after the acquittal, why the case remains unsolved, and a quick band spotlight that keeps the road trip energy alive.

    EPISODE 99: Stephen Griffiths deserves no killer title

    He didn’t just fantasize about being a serial killer. He said it out loud, chased the identity, studied the psychology, and then acted on it in the most brutal way. We’re closing Season Two with the case of Stephen Griffiths, also known as the “Crossbow Cannibal,” and it’s the kind of story that leaves you asking how many warning signs a system can ignore before the outcome becomes inevitable.  We trace Griffiths from early violence and fixation on infamous killers into a life that looked “smart” on paper, with psychology and criminology studies, while his private behavior spiraled into weapons obsession, stalking, coercive control, and cruelty. Then Bradford starts seeing women disappear, and the case turns on chilling breaks: a phone left behind, a video discovered in the worst possible way, and surveillance footage that captures the moment everything collapses around him. If you’ve searched for “Stephen Griffiths Bradford murders,” “UK true crime podcast,” or “Crossbow Cannibal CCTV,” we lay out the timeline clearly and talk through what the evidence actually shows.  Most importantly, we keep the spotlight where it belongs: on Susan Rushworth, Shelly Armitage, and Suzanne Blameers as real people with families, histories, and attempts to rebuild their lives. We talk about how sex workers get targeted because predators assume nobody will care, and we push back hard on the culture that turns killers into icons. To cleanse the palate after a heavy case, Jesse closes with a wild, fun band pick: Texas Toast Chainsaw Massacre.  If you want more victim-centered true crime with honest reactions and real conversation, follow, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.
