    Grant Amato: The Man Who Murdered His Family for a Webcam Model He Never Met

    On January 25th, 2019, police arrived at a home in Chuluota, Florida, for a wellness check. Cody Amato, a thirty-one-year-old nurse anaesthetist, hadn't shown up for work—something he'd never done in five years. Inside, they found a scene of horror: Chad Amato, Margaret Amato, and Cody Amato. All three shot execution-style in their own home. One family member was missing: twenty-nine-year-old Grant Amato. As investigators pieced together the case, a disturbing picture emerged. Grant had been fired from his nursing job for stealing drugs. He'd become obsessed with a Bulgarian webcam model named Silvie. He'd stolen over two hundred thousand dollars from his family to pay for her attention. His family tried to help him. They sent him to rehab. They gave him rules. But when his father discovered Grant was still contacting Silvie, he told Grant to leave. Grant's response? He murdered his entire family. Tonight, a story of obsession, deception, and a virtual relationship that turned deadly. Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

    The Murder of Dustin Kjersem: Montana Camper Killed by Stranger

    On 10th October 2024, 35-year-old Dustin Kjersem set up camp in the Montana wilderness to spend the weekend with his girlfriend. He pitched his tent, gathered firewood, and prepared for a peaceful night under the stars. A stranger arrived at the campsite. Dustin, known for his generosity and kindness, welcomed him. Offered him a beer. Invited him to sit by the fire. Within hours, Dustin was dead—beaten with a block of wood, stabbed in the neck with a screwdriver, and struck repeatedly with his own axe. When Dustin's girlfriend arrived the next day, she found his body in the tent. Police initially thought a bear had killed him. But forensic examination revealed something far worse: a brutal, prolonged murder. The killer was Daren Abbey, a 41-year-old stranger with a violent criminal history. He murdered Dustin because he wanted his campsite. Tonight on Crime at Bedtime, we examine this shocking case.

    The Ari Squire Case: Man Who Killed to Fake His Own Death

    On 23rd February 2008, firefighters responded to a garage fire in Lake Barrington, Illinois. Beneath a white pickup truck, they found a badly burnt body. The wallet identified the victim as Ari Samuel Squire, 39. It looked like a tragic accident. A jack failure. A fire. A life lost. But dental records didn't match. The body was too young—about twenty, not forty. The tattoos were wrong. The body wasn't Ari Squire. It was Justin Newman, a young man Ari had lured to his home with the promise of construction work. Ari was $400,000 in debt from Medicare fraud. He'd hatched a plan: kill someone who resembled him, stage his own death, steal the victim's identity, and disappear. For eight days, Ari lived as Justin Newman, using his credit cards and ID. Then police tracked him to a Missouri motel. Before arrest, Ari put a gun to his head. Tonight on Crime at Bedtime, the story of a fake death that became real murder.

    The Green River Killer: How Gary Ridgway Murdered 49 Women and Evaded Police for 20 Years

    In the summer of 1982, bodies began appearing along Washington's Green River. Young women—many of them sex workers, many of them runaways—were being strangled and dumped in remote wooded areas around Seattle. By 1984, the death toll had reached over forty. The Green River Task Force assembled. The FBI sent profilers. Even imprisoned serial killer Ted Bundy was consulted for insights. But year after year, the killer remained free. Gary Ridgway, a truck painter from Auburn, was questioned in 1987. He gave police a DNA sample. The technology of the time couldn't match it to the crimes. He was released. For fourteen more years, the case went cold. Then, in 2001, DNA technology advanced. The 1987 sample was retested. It matched four victims. Gary Ridgway was arrested on November 30th, 2001. In 2003, he confessed to forty-eight murders. Later, forty-nine. He claimed the real number was closer to eighty. Tonight, the story of America's most prolific serial killer.

    Susan Smith: The 1994 Case That Shocked America

    On October 25th, 1994, Susan Smith reported that a Black man had carjacked her vehicle at gunpoint with her two young sons still inside. Three-year-old Michael and fourteen-month-old Alexander were gone, taken by a stranger into the South Carolina night. For nine days, the nation watched as Susan and her husband David made tearful pleas on television for their children's safe return. "America's children," the media called them. Thousands of tips poured in. Law enforcement from across the country joined the search. But investigators were noticing inconsistencies. A traffic light that shouldn't have been red. A friend who wasn't home. Small details that didn't add up. On November 3rd, 1994, Susan Smith confessed to the unthinkable: she had driven to John D. Long Lake, strapped her sons in their car seats, and let the car roll into the water whilst she stood on the shore and watched them drown. Tonight on Crime at Bedtime, we examine the case that shocked the world. ONTENT WARNING: This episode contains detailed descriptions of child murder and maternal filicide.

    When Colorado mom Kristil Krug started receiving threatening messages from an ex-boyfriend she hadn't seen in twenty years, she did everything right.

On December 14th, 2023, just eleven days before Christmas, Kristil was found bludgeoned and stabbed to death in her garage. The investigation into her ex-boyfriend's whereabouts would lead to a shocking discovery: he had an airtight alibi and had never sent a single message. So who was terrorizing Kristil Krug?
