    The Cereal Killer: Frozen Breast Milk Solved a Michigan Murder

    The Cereal Killer: Frozen Breast Milk Solved a Michigan Murder Christina Harris died in her Davison, Michigan home in September 2014 from a heroin overdose. The 36-year-old mother's death was ruled accidental. Her husband Jason Harris collected $120,000 in life insurance, bought a plane ticket to visit another woman nine days later, and moved a new girlfriend into their home two weeks after Christina's funeral. The investigation into Christina's murder took five years before prosecutors could finally charge Jason Harris with first-degree murder. This is the story of a man who tried to hire multiple people to kill his wife, offering $10,000 from her future life insurance payout. When nobody would take the job, he decided to do it himself. He made her a bowl of cereal one night, and Christina told a coworker that if she ever turned up dead, her husband did it. The evidence that eventually convicted him came from the most unexpected source, and it took a cold case team refusing to let this go to finally get justice for Christina and her two young children. #TrueCrime #ChristinaHarris #JasonHarris #MichiganMurder #PoisoningCase #LifeInsuranceMurder #ColdCase 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    Bible John: The Ballroom Killer

    Bible John: The Ballroom Killer Patricia Docker, Jemima MacDonald, and Helen Puttock were murdered between 1968 and 1969 in Glasgow, Scotland after meeting their killer at the Barrowland Ballroom. The unsolved homicide investigation spawned one of Europe's most notorious cold cases when a witness described the suspect quoting scripture and condemning adultery, giving birth to the nickname Bible John. Police interviewed 5,000 people, created Scotland's first composite sketch of a murder suspect, and conducted DNA testing on exhumed bodies, yet the serial killer has never been identified. This case has everything that makes a cold case absolutely maddening. You've got three women strangled with their own stockings after nights at the same dance hall. You've got a witness who rode in a taxi with the killer and lived to describe him in disturbing detail. You've got a composite sketch that became Scotland's most infamous image. And you've got decades of botched DNA testing, suspected police cover-ups, and theories that keep piling up while the actual killer's identity remains a mystery. The Barrowland Ballroom murders happened over fifty years ago, and new suspects are still emerging, podcasts are forcing police to reopen investigations, and that eerie composite drawing still stares back from cold case files, waiting for science to finally catch up with justice. #BibleJohn #TrueCrime #ColdCase #UnsolvedMurder #GlasgowMurders #SerialKiller #BarrowlandBallroom 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    Seven Deadly Sins: The Valhermoso Springs Massacre

    Seven Deadly Sins: The Valhermoso Springs Massacre The 2020 Valhermoso Springs murders left seven people dead in Morgan County, Alabama, when Frederic Rogers and John Michael Legg opened fire during a drug dispute that escalated into a mass homicide. The investigation revealed burned bodies, over 1,000 crime scene photographs, and a confession that detailed the premeditated execution-style killings carried out by members of a group calling themselves the Seven Deadly Sins. This is the story of what happens when two guys watch too much Sons of Anarchy and decide stolen guns and a Facebook post are worth killing seven people over. Rogers and Legg weren't hardened criminals with rap sheets. They were kids playing dress-up in an outlaw fantasy they cobbled together from a TV show. When someone posted pictures of their drugs and guns online, they decided the only logical response was to invite everyone over for dinner and shoot them all. Because apparently, in their version of reality, that's how you handle embarrassment. We're talking about a crime so brutal that seasoned investigators called it the most disturbing scene in county history, and it all started because two guys couldn't tell the difference between cable television and real life. #TrueCrime #SeptupleMurder #ValermosoSprings #SevenDeadlySins #AlabamaMurder #MassMurder #FredericRogers Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/10-minute-murder-bingeable-true-crime-stories--4603604/support.

    Death Cap Mushroom Poisoning: The Australian Family Lunch Murders

    Death Cap Mushroom Poisoning: The Australian Family Lunch Murders Erin Patterson murdered her former in-laws Gail Patterson, Don Patterson, and Heather Wilkinson using death cap mushrooms in Leongatha, Victoria, Australia on July 29, 2023. The homicide investigation revealed Patterson served poisoned Beef Wellington at a family lunch, resulting in three deaths and one attempted murder of survivor Ian Wilkinson. Forensic evidence included death cap traces in a concealed food dehydrator, digital records of foraging locations, and destroyed phone data showing mushroom weighing photos from months before the fatal meal. So there's this lunch in a small Australian town. Just a regular Sunday afternoon thing. Former in-laws coming over, the kind of gathering where everyone's trying to be polite even though the family relationships are kind of a mess. Erin Patterson says she wants to talk about her recent cancer diagnosis. Except she doesn't have cancer. And the Beef Wellington she's serving? Yeah, that's got death cap mushrooms in it. Three people die. One survives after a liver transplant and seven weeks in the hospital. The thing is, death cap poisoning has this window where you feel completely fine for hours. No symptoms. Nothing. By the time the vomiting starts, it's basically too late. We're talking about someone who photographed mushrooms on a scale months before this lunch, dumped a food dehydrator at the tip the day after leaving the hospital, and factory reset her phone four times. This is the story of how a family meal became a mass murder.

    From Best Friend to Murder: The Missy Avila Story

    From Best Friend to Murder: The Missy Avila Story In October 1985, 17-year-old Michele "Missy" Avila was found murdered in Big Tujunga Creek in the Angeles National Forest near Los Angeles, her body submerged under a 100-pound log. The homicide investigation revealed a brutal case of premeditated murder involving two of Missy's childhood friends, Karen Severson and Laura Doyle, who were later convicted of second-degree murder. What followed was one of the most disturbing cases of criminal deception in true crime history. This is a story about friendship gone toxic, jealousy that turned deadly, and a betrayal so complete it redefined what we think we know about manipulation. For three years after Missy's murder, one of her killers moved into the victim's family home, comforting Missy's grieving mother while hiding the truth about what happened that October day. The case eventually led to groundbreaking victim rights legislation in California. We're talking about a murder that was as personal as it gets, revenge that took the form of ritual humiliation, and a cover-up that still makes investigators shake their heads thirty years later. #MissyAvila #MicheleAvila #KarenSeverson #LauraDoyle #AngelesNationalForest #TrueCrime #UnsolvedNoMore Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/10-minute-murder-bingeable-true-crime-stories--4603604/support.

    Mississippi's Most Controversial Murder Trial: The Jessica Chambers Case

    Mississippi's Most Controversial Murder Trial: The Jessica Chambers Case On December 6, 2014, Jessica Chambers, a 19-year-old from Courtland, Mississippi, was found burned over 93% of her body in a murder investigation that would grip the nation. The homicide case against suspect Quinton Tellis resulted in two hung juries, as forensic evidence, cell phone data, and witness testimony collided with the victim's dying words. First responders heard Jessica name her attacker before she died, but the name she spoke wasn't Quinton. This case has everything that makes true crime both fascinating and frustrating. You've got a victim who fought like hell to survive long enough to tell someone what happened. You've got prosecutors building a circumstantial case that looks pretty damning on paper. And then you've got that one detail that changes everything. Jessica walked toward help, burned beyond recognition, and tried to tell firefighters who did this to her. The problem? The name she said doesn't match the guy they put on trial. Twice. This is about what happens when the evidence points one direction and a dying declaration points another. It's about small-town Mississippi, cell phone towers that can't quite pinpoint a location, and a suspect connected to another brutal murder in Louisiana. And after two mistrials, nobody knows what happens next. #JessicaChambers #TrueCrime #UnsolvedMurder #QuintonTellis #MississippiMurder #DyingDeclaration #HungJury Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/10-minute-murder-bingeable-true-crime-stories--4603604/support.

    The Babysitter Who Knew Too Much: Kimberly Cargill Capital Murder

    The Babysitter Who Knew Too Much: Kimberly Cargill Capital Murder Kimberly Cargill murdered Cherry Walker in Whitehouse, Texas on June 18, 2010 to prevent the mentally challenged babysitter from testifying at a child custody hearing. The Smith County investigation revealed Walker died from asphyxiation, her partially burned body discovered on Oscar Burkett Road. Cargill was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death by lethal injection in 2012 after prosecutors presented forensic evidence including DNA found on Burger King coffee creamers at the crime scene. This case gets wild because here's a woman who's already lost custody of two of her kids, CPS is breathing down her neck, and the one person who can seal the deal against her in court is this vulnerable woman who just wants to tell the truth. So Cargill makes a decision. And the aftermath? She admits to burning the body, claims it was all a panic move after Walker had a seizure in the car. But then there's this forensic battle that goes all the way to the appeals court about whether Walker was murdered or died from a rare epilepsy condition. The evidence tells one story. Cargill's defense tells another. And sitting in the middle of all this is a pattern of violence that goes back decades. #TrueCrime #KimberlyCargill #CherryWalker #CapitalMurder #TexasCrime #DeathRow #UnsolvedNo 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    The Fake Pregnancy That Led to Murder: Taylor Parker's Deadly Deception

    The Fake Pregnancy That Led to Murder: Taylor Parker's Deadly Deception Taylor Parker murdered Reagan Simmons-Hancock in New Boston, Texas on October 9, 2020, brutally attacking the 21-year-old pregnant woman and cutting her unborn baby from her womb. The homicide investigation revealed Parker had spent ten months faking her own pregnancy through elaborate deception, including staged ultrasounds and a gender reveal party. The capital murder trial centered on whether baby Braxlynn Sage Hancock was born alive, a legal question that would determine if prosecutors could pursue the death penalty. Forensic evidence and medical testimony became crucial as detectives uncovered Parker's intensive digital research on faking pregnancy and performing crude cesarean sections. This case goes beyond your typical murder investigation. Taylor Parker spent nearly a year building a fake life, creating an entire alternate reality complete with pregnancy photos, doctor visits that never happened, and a baby shower for a child that didn't exist. She befriended Reagan Simmons-Hancock, photographed her wedding, gained her trust. Then, when her elaborate lie was about to collapse, Parker made a calculated decision that would end in unimaginable violence. The prosecution faced a legal battle that hinged on heartbeats and definitions, while Parker's own research history told a story of cold premeditation. Reagan's three-year-old daughter was home when it happened. The baby Parker ripped from Reagan's body would become the center of a courtroom battle that determined whether Parker would face execution. #TaylorParker #ReaganSimmonsHancock #TrueCrime #TexasMurder #CapitalMurder #FetalAbduction #NewBoston 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.
