    Episode 86 | Sinister Shores: A Spring Break Nightmare, Part One

    AMAZINGLY this episode begins with NO chit-chat, NO rambling—we dive right in with an old-school DXSW Sense of Place, setting the scene of South Padre Island and Matamoros, Mexico, to transport you right into the heart of this haunting tale!  From there, it’s straight into Part One (yes, it’s a two-parter, but I promise—it’s worth it!) of the chilling and tragic story of Mark Kilroy. Mark was a bright, young college student heading off to spring break in 1989, ready for sunshine, adventure, and making some unforgettable memories with his childhood friends! What he found instead was a nightmare beyond anything you can imagine.  This story delves into a shocking abduction, an unspeakable crime, and takes a terrifying look at what happens when pure evil crosses your path. Buckle up, because Part One sets the stage for a tale you’ll never forget—and one that will make you think twice about trusting strangers in paradise. Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🌵🩷 My AMAZING therapist’s IG (bc we can all benefit from a little therapy!): @wholeselflindsay (Lindsay Christianson) Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and follow us on social media @DeathXSouthwest for all the behind-the-scenes fun.

Secrets, betrayal, and a crime that left everyone asking, "How could this happen?" Trust me, you won't want to miss this deep dive into a case that's as perplexing as it is heartbreaking.

    Episode 85 | Selling Lies and Taking Lives: The Chilling Case of Todd Kohlhepp

    In this episode, we kick things off with a 15-minute catch-up where I dive into a disgruntled email from a former fan that I couldn’t resist sharing. Afterward, I spill my thoughts on the ongoing Menendez Brothers hoopla, along with a few other random odds and ends.  Then, we turn to the chilling case of Todd Kohlhepp—a man whose double life as a successful real estate agent and cold-blooded killer is almost beyond belief. From the late 1980s to the early 2000s, Kohlhepp left a trail of terror, preying on innocent victims in crimes that shocked communities and left investigators scrambling for answers. We’ll walk through each twisted detail of his crimes, from his early offenses to the haunting final days of his victims, all while exploring what could drive someone to lead such a dark double life.

    BONUS | Cough Syrup & Chaos: A Very Accidental Hour of Life Ramblings

    Alright, friends. Today’s episode was supposed to be a quick 10-minute “I’m alive, don’t worry” update. But, of course, here we are an hour later, wandering through the twisted maze that is my brain (on a little too much cough syrup😬). Turns out, I accidentally went on a journey of deep pondering (or was it rambling?) about relationships, friendships, and family, while feeling… let’s just say, not my best. But wait! The real treat? A handful of absolutely delightful voice messages from one of our listeners in Belgium, whose life is WAY more fascinating than mine🐘. So, while there’s no true crime in this episode, there’s plenty of personal chaos, musings, and meandering thoughts, seasoned with some light existential confusion.  Join me for an hour of unplanned exploration—and a much-needed reminder to keep the cough syrup doses a bit lower next time.😂 My AMAZING therapist’s IG (bc we can all benefit from a little therapy!): @wholeselflindsay (Lindsay Christianson) Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and follow us on social media @DeathXSouthwest for all the behind-the-scenes fun.

    Welcome to a bonus episode where true crime is left on read, and it's just you, me, and a whole lot of wonderfully irrelevant details. I’m talking weekend adventures, my BFF’s enviable escape to Belize (I'll just be here…trying not to be jealous), our iconic family room sleepover, and, FINALLY, I dive into some listener DMs. Expect everything from the most random musings to overshares that absolutely no one asked for but everyone might just need.  Happy 11.11, friends – where it’s all just good vibes, no murder (today). *My AMAZING therapist’s IG: @wholeselflindsay (Lindsay Christianson) Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and follow us on social media @DeathXSouthwest for all the behind-the-scenes fun!!

    Episode 84: Forbidden Affairs and Fatal Consequences (with special co-host, Jackie!)

    Get ready for a jam-packed episode as I’m joined by my best friend of 22 years, Jackie, who’s here to co-host and catch up with me on everything from the hilariously mundane to the strangely profound. For the first 30 minutes, since this is Jackie’s first time on a podcast (yay!) we get all warmed up by chatting about our friendship, sharing some memories, and diving into all the quirky odds and ends that make our friendship so special (to us, haha!). Then, we switch gears to a murder case that feels ripped straight out of a true-crime soap opera. It’s the shocking story of Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan—a devastating tale with all the juicy twists: a Brazilian au pair, a fetish website, an illicit affair, and, ultimately, a double murder that will leave you wondering if you’re listening to real life or a dark thriller. This episode is full of friendship, laughter, and plenty of true crime twists and turns!
