The Book of the Dead

The Book of the Dead

A weekly true crime podcast, hosted by a mother and daughter, striving to be the voices of those who can no longer speak for themselves. The inspiration behind the Book of the Dead is to shed light on cases and victims that have gone, more or less unnoticed by the media and in other podcasts, instead of focusing on more famous or sensationalized cases, the Book of the Dead does what it can to put focus on the the ones that are more obscure. Join Courtney and Lisa every Sunday for a new case and join them on a journey to get justice for those that have been waiting far too long for it.

    Chapter 93: A New York Mystery-The Murder of Bani Yelverton

    In today's chapter, we dive into the murder of a woman that history seems to have forgotten. Not anymore. In December of 1969, Bani Yelverton, a young Black woman with a promising future in modeling, was found murdered in her friend's New York apartment under circumstances that baffled investigators. With no sign of forced entry, few concrete leads, and a city gripped by upheaval, the case soon went cold. Who wanted Bani dead—and why?  Connect with us on Social Media!

    Chapter 92: An Exorcism in Enfield-The Death of Kennedy Ife

    Today, we delve into the dark world of exorcisms and the tragic case of Kennedy Ife, a 26-year-old man from Enfield, London, whose shocking death in 2016 raised unsettling questions about faith, mental health, and the dangers of so-called demonic possession.We explore the history and controversy surrounding exorcisms—age-old rituals performed to cast out supposed evil spirits—and how belief in possession has led to terrifying and sometimes fatal consequences. Then, we take a deep dive into Kennedy Ife’s case, where his family claimed he was possessed and restrained him in an attempt to drive out the "demon"—a decision that ultimately led to his tragic demise.Was Kennedy a victim of supernatural forces, or was his suffering the result of a misunderstood medical or psychological crisis? Join us as we analyze the facts and the trial that followed, unraveling one of the most disturbing exorcism-related deaths in recent history. Connect with us on Social Media!

    Together with C.J., host of Beyond the Rainbow: True Crimes of the LGBTQ, we dive into two heart-wrenching cases where friendships turned deadly. The murders of Missy Avila and Skylar Neese are the ultimate betrayal, each one a tragic tale of trust shattered by jealousy, deceit, and revenge. Missy Avila, a bright and promising teenager, was brutally murdered by two supposed friends—victims of a toxic friendship gone horribly wrong. Her case remains a disturbing reminder of how close-knit bonds can unravel in an instant, ending in violence. Skylar Neese’s story is equally harrowing. Lured into a deadly trap by her best friends, Skylar’s brutal murder stunned a community and left behind an endless trail of unanswered questions. As the truth slowly came to light, it was revealed that betrayal had been festering beneath the surface, ultimately culminating in Skylar's tragic death. Join us as we explore the dark side of "frenemy" relationships, unraveling the motives behind these heinous acts and the lasting consequences they left on the families and communities involved.
