    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.

    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! Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🌵🩷 Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and follow us on social media @DeathXSouthwest for all the behind-the-scenes fun.

    Episode 83: The Halloween Disappearance of Cindy Song

    Hi friends—on today’s episode, I do about a 17-minute catch-up where I share all the good, the bad, and the spooky from my weekend, plus some Halloween updates and random bits I couldn’t resist throwing in. Then, we dive headfirst into a chilling true crime story that’s perfect for the season: the Halloween disappearance of Cindy Song. Episode Description: Imagine going out for a night of Halloween fun, costumes and all, only to completely vanish into thin air. That's what happened to Cindy Song, a bright and hopeful Penn State student whose life took a mysterious and terrifying turn on Halloween night in 2001. Dressed in a playful bunny costume, Cindy was last seen returning to her apartment in the early morning hours, but by the time daylight came, she was gone without a trace. Cindy’s case is especially unsettling with the sheer volume of twists, dead ends, and chilling theories. Despite national attention, FBI involvement, and family support, Cindy's case remains unsolved, with her loved ones left only with questions and heartbreak. So if you’re ready for a story full of eerie mysteries, alleged psychic insights, and one of the most perplexing Halloween disappearances ever, this episode is for you.

    Episode 82: The Candyman

    I kick off this episode as per usual with about 10 minutes of blabbering on about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness (not really🤣 - I actually just talk about my morning). After we catch up, we're diving headfirst into the mysterious origins of Halloween. Ever wondered how an ancient festival celebrating the dead turned into a night of costumes and candy? We'll peel back the layers of history and uncover the fascinating transformation of this spooky holiday. But hold on, the real treat (or trick) of today's episode is a true crime story that's as chilling as they come. We're exploring the haunting case of Timothy O'Bryan from 1974—a tale that forever changed Halloween night. It's a story filled with unexpected twists that will make you think twice about those sugary sweets.  Come along for the life updates, stick around for the spooky, and—of course—enjoy the chaos. 🎃🌵 Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and follow us on social media @DeathXSouthwest for all the behind-the-scenes fun.

    BONUS EPISODE: SPOOKY MINI-CRIME STORY - Ghosts of Greenwich

    In this episode, I kick things off with a rundown of my weekend adventures. From nearly losing my voice at Terror in the Corn 👻🌽(apparently, I'm not as brave as I thought) to an unexpected shopping trip to a sad and unexpectedly tragic end to the weekend😕. Then we shift gears to the main event: the perplexing murder of Martha Moxley. A 15-year-old girl from an affluent Connecticut neighborhood, Martha's life was cut short under mysterious and chilling circumstances. Was it a case of jealousy, a dark family secret, or something even more sinister? I'll walk you through the eerie details, suspicious characters, and the questions that still linger nearly five decades later. 🧡Love you all!! Enjoy!!

    Episode 81: When the Party Ends, the Horror Begins

    Tonight's episode kicks off with a cosmic touch, thanks to a quick heads-up from our very own Human GPS. I'll be sharing a little snippet about the comet lighting up the sky tonight—just a short detour before we dive into this week's story. Now, I know Michigan isn't exactly the Southwest, but Halloween is closing in, and I couldn't resist bringing you a truly bone-chilling case from the Midwest that fits the spooky season just perfectly. We’re heading to a Halloween party in 2014 where Chelsea Bruck, a fun-loving 22-year-old, donned a homemade Poison Ivy costume for a night of dancing, drinking, and celebrating with friends. But as the festivities drew to a close, Chelsea disappeared into the night, never to be seen again… In this episode, I'll walk you through the haunting details of Chelsea’s final moments, the devastating impact on her family and the local community, and the investigation that ultimately uncovered the identity of her killer. This is a story that reminds us: sometimes, the real horror begins when the party ends. So, grab your cocktail and settle in. It’s time for another night of crime, Halloween haunts, and just a touch of the macabre here on Death X Southwest. HAPPY OCTOBER🎃 Want more DXSW?
