    59: PROM NIGHT MURDERS

    Sunday April 30th, 1989, the Congregation of Olive Branch Church in Lakeville Indiana were gathering for the 9:30 a.m., several of them noticed the absence of Pastor Bob, his wife and their 5 children. This was not like him as he was always there early to greet people as they entered the church.

    Growing uneasy they decided to check it out.....What they would find is a horrible murder and what would ensue is a controversial murder conviction that to this day is still being debated in the courts and appealed.  This is the prom night murders.

    58. VANISHED: AMBER DUBOIS AND CHELSEA KING

    58. VANISHED: AMBER DUBOIS AND CHELSEA KING

    On the morning of February 13, 2009, in Escondido, CA, around approx. 7 am, 14-year-old Amber DuBois was seen walking to school. She wore a backpack that held a $200 check earmarked for her 4-H Club project, where she planned to purchase a lamb who she had already named Nannet. 

    Amber would never make it to school that day and it would be over a year before a break in her case would come when on February 25, 2010, 17-year-old Chelsea King vanished without a trace while on a run in Rancho Bernardo Park.

    These cases would bring to light inexcusable issues with the judicial system when it comes to the sentencing, punishment, and monitoring of sexual offenders.   You can continue the fight to advocate for harsher punishments through the support of Chelsea's Law in your state.

    56. Serial killer: Ed Kemper (pt.1)

    It was 1972 in Santa Cruz, California.  It was a time of love and peace…..The age of aquirius.  Many people described it as a fun and free time period to live….
    However, this would all change In August of that year when group of hikers found a skull up in the Loma Prieta Mountain.  This would be the beginning of a horrific killing spree that would paralyze a city and steal the innocence of residents who lived for years in fear that they were prey being hunted by a sick killer.  
    This is the case of the Coed Killer, Ed Kemper.  Here we cover his childhood, background and first murders.  This shit is super f-ed up....so brace yourself.

    Explicit content alert.  This case contains graphic and disturbing detail around sexual abuse, dismemberment, necrophilia, animal abuse and a number of really terrible things....We did our best, as always, be respectful to the victims and the topics.

    55. UNSOLVED: THE ALPHABET MURDERS

    55. UNSOLVED: THE ALPHABET MURDERS

    The following case  references crimes committed against children. The details provided within this episode are relevant to the case and necessary in explaining the case. Our intent is to spread awareness in hopes of one day seeing this case solved and justice served. As we always strive to do, we will treat the details and those impacted by the case with dignity and respect.

    Between 1971 and 1973 in the city of Rochester, New York three murders took place that to this day have yet to be solved. Carmen Colon, Wanda Walkowicz, and Michelle Maenza  were girls aged ten or eleven whose last name began with the same letter as that of her first name.   
    The Alphabet murders (also known as the Double Initial murders) are an unsolved series of child murders which occurred between 1971 and 1973 in Rochester, New York 

    To this day people still debate if it was the same killer or if there are more than one individual involved......what is MOST important is that we continue to drive awareness to this case in the hopes that one day it will be solved and justice will be served.

Late to the party

I discovered this podcast shortly after they released episode 58 (which is a local case for me) and I am obsessed! I usually struggle with true crime podcasts because there is so much banter and I feel it takes away from the case itself, but this podcast brings such a great balance! Have binged the first few episodes in a couple of days and am glad I have so many left!

Bad Human Podcast

This is by far the BEST true crime pod available anywhere. Please give them a listen. This couple tell the best stories with such ease and just the perfect amount of narrative. I sent them a suggestion of a story that dramatically affected my childhood. They covered it with such grace and dignity that I believe after 6 decades I finally got some sort of closure. Big, big kudos to this beautiful podcast.

My New regular listen!

I love the way you tell true crime! Not only are you respectful and informative, but also stay on track and have the perfect pace. So often I have listened to true crime podcasts where they derail on 15 minute tangents, which really takes from the continuity of the story. So thank you for not doing that! To true crime listeners everywhere: this is a must listen.
