Psychopedia Tank Sinatra & Investigator Slater

From August 1992 to May 1999, John Bunting led a gang of self-proclaimed vigilante serial killers on one of the world's most bizarre and sadistic murder sprees. Part 1 of the case of the Snowtown Murders, also known as the Bodies in Barrels Murders, delves into some of the darkest corners of the human psyche, where the lines between victim and perpetrator become terrifyingly blurred. John Bunting coerced vulnerable individuals to serve as accomplices in some of the most heinous crimes imaginable. He was a homophobic, Nazi-loving, blood-thirsty disaster of a human being, presenting one of the most shocking examples of stone-cold psychopathy you will ever hear about. Eleven victims lost their lives to his brutality and spent years decomposing in hidden barrels before his reign of terror ended in what is regarded as the worst serial killer case in Australian history. Please listen with caution, as this episode contains difficult topics relating to murder, sexual assault, child abuse, homophobia, and self-harm.

On the morning of Saturday, March 2012, in Bethesda, Maryland, law enforcement encountered a scene straight out of a horror film when they entered the Lululemon athletic store in town. Inside this upscale, trendy store, bloodstains smeared the floor, merchandise lay scattered, mannequins were toppled, and a semiconscious young woman with a bloody face had her wrists and ankles bound with zip ties. In the back hallway, they found another young woman, her skull smashed in and her spine severed. The scene was a sickening tableau of violence, immediately suggesting a brutal attack by multiple perpetrators. However, identifying the people/person responsible for this horrific crime was not as straightforward as it initially seemed. And absolutely no one could have possibly guessed the despicable culprit behind this shocking, merciless crime or grasped how truly disturbing and tragic the heartbreaking incident was.

Love Has Won is a modern-day cult shrouded in mystery and controversy, heralding a woman named Amy Carlson as the Mother of All Creation. According to Amy’s devout followers, she was a 19-billion-year-old reincarnated deity with the power to cure all illness through love. Her advisory circle was an eclectic ensemble of dead celebrities with whom she claimed to be in direct communication. Amy Carlson led hundreds of followers who believed fervently in her divine identity and powers, trusting her with not just their spiritual and physical well-being, but also their financial resources. Under the guise of spiritual enlightenment and healing, she manipulated and controlled her followers until the day she died by the very principles she preached. Following her death, we are thrusted into a vortex of haunting questions: Was her death, which slowly and painfully unfolded on livestream alongside her followers who watched, murder or suicide? Or, as her disciples proclaim, did she simply leave her earthly body (which had turned completely blue) to ascend to a fifth dimension? Her bizarre saga, from the mundane to the mystical, beckons us to unravel the dangerous reality behind her harrowing end.

On a somber Sunday in 2010, the quiet town of Maesteg, South Wales, was shaken by tragedy when 15-year-old Rebecca “Becca” Aylward vanished after meeting her ex-boyfriend, Josh Davies. Her mother, Sonia Oatley, tirelessly searched the streets, driven by dread and mounting desperation. The search ended with a chilling call: "Stop searching. Come home." This confirmed Sonia's worst fears: Becca was not just missing - she was lost forever. The community was stunned to learn that Josh, once trusted and loved by Becca and her entire family, savagely took her young life simply to settle a bet with a friend.  Becca’s last words, "Bye Mam, I love you," will remain a poignant reminder of the innocent life so cruelly taken by a cold, calculated, and ruthless teenage predator.

In this episode, we are joined by special guest, comedian and Barstool podcaster, Grace O'Malley.
The Ant Hill Kids, a dangerous cult led by the enigmatic and malevolent Roch Thériault, stands as a chilling testament to the depths of human vulnerability and the intoxicating power of charismatic manipulation. Nestled in the remote wilderness of Canada, this cult was not merely an isolated commune; it was a cauldron of sadistic rituals, extreme religious fervor, and grotesque acts of violence. Thériault, who proclaimed himself the divine messenger of God, ruled over his followers with an iron fist, exploiting their faith to commit unspeakable atrocities of violence. As we delve into the harrowing tale of the Ant Hill Kids, we confront the darkest corners of the human psyche and grapple with the chilling question of how seemingly ordinary individuals ultimately chose to surrender their safety and autonomy to the whims of a madman.

The assassination of Kim Jong-Nam, brother of North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un, was an outrageously mind-boggling event. It unfolded like a script where a spy thriller and a candid-camera show intersected and somehow, incredibly, changed history. Prank comedy, particularly in East Asia, has solidified its place in entertainment by capitalizing on the universal appeal of humor and surprise. This unique genre thrives on the unexpected and transforms everyday situations into stages for unscripted comedy. Watching ordinary people caught in extraordinary setups is often hilarious—unless the "prank" turns into a meticulously planned murder, leaving the unsuspecting participant dead. In this case, the victim was no ordinary person but a potential leader of North Korea's Kim dynasty. His death during what seemed like a prank show was actually a political assassination.
