    The Gorilla Man

    Earle Nelson, infamously known as the Gorilla Man, was a notorious American criminal, active during the early 20th century, primarily in the 1920s. He gained his eerie nickname due to his physical appearance, which often involved brutal assaults and strangulation, evoking the image of a gorilla. Nelson's criminal activities began with petty crimes, but escalated to more violent offenses, leading to the deaths of multiple women. His ruthless acts caused widespread panic, and he was eventually apprehended in 1927. After his capture, he was tried and sentenced to death, being executed in 1928.

    The Boston Strangler

    Between 1962 and 1964, the Boston Strangler was labeled as the person responsible for a series of murders in the Back Bay Area of Boston, MA. The victims, ranging in age from 19 to 85, were sexually assaulted and strangled, often in their homes. Albert DeSalvo, a handyman with a criminal history, eventually confessed to the killings, though doubts about his guilt linger due to inconsistencies and lack of physical evidence linking him to all the crimes. DNA evidence later tied DeSalvo to the final victim, but some experts believe more than one person may have been involved in the murders. The case remains one of the most notorious in American criminal history. Listen to new monthly episodes wherever you get your podcasts!

    Solving Krista Martin Featuring Social Detective

    Join Deb with her guest - and NEW co-host of Insinuation Podcast - , MaryAnne, from Social Detective Podcast - as MaryAnne gets personal. We talk about her best friend, Krista Martin, who was taken from us far too soon. For over three decades, Krista's case went unsolved until 2024, when The Sedgwick County Forensic Science Center played a crucial role in developing a DNA profile, which ultimately led to Krista's killer. During this episode, Maryanne reflects on her life growing up in Haysville, KS and the memories she and Krista first shared as neighbours, then later as best friends. Little did MaryAnne know that Krista would impact her life choices, or give her the drive to work endlessly to bring this case to a close. As MaryAnne comes to terms that this decades-old case is no longer cold, she and Deb also discuss the search for answers in Krista's case and the concept of what "closure" really means.
