    The Girlfriend in the Cooler: The Wade Allen Case

    The Girlfriend in the Cooler: The Wade Allen Case Wade Allen strangled and dismembered his girlfriend Kelly Jean Warner in May 2019 in Sturgis, Michigan. Police discovered her mutilated remains stored in two coolers inside Allen's apartment after an anonymous tip. The 39-year-old pleaded no contest to second-degree homicide, attempted dismemberment, and attempted third-degree criminal sexual conduct. While incarcerated at St. Joseph County Jail, Allen sexually assaulted a cellmate who had reported his murder confession to authorities. A judge sentenced Allen to 39-60 years for murder with consecutive sentences for assault, effectively ensuring he'll likely die in prison. This is the story of a woman whose transient lifestyle made her disappearance almost invisible, and a man whose brain might have been wired for violence. Kelly Jean Warner, 43, lived a life that didn't fit neatly into society's boxes. When she vanished in spring 2019, there were no immediate alarm bells because people like Kelly sometimes go weeks without contact. That silence became her killer's greatest advantage. But her sister Lisa refused to let Kelly disappear quietly, and that persistence helped crack open one of the most disturbing murder cases in Michigan's recent history. We're going to talk about what happens when someone's lifestyle makes them vulnerable, when a psychopath moves through a small town undetected, and how a catastrophic failure in the jail system allowed a murderer to victimize someone all over again. #WadeAllen #KellyJeanWarner #KellyWarner #TrueCrime #Michigan #Sturgis #Murder 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    Homeschooled to Death: The Mary and Elwyn Crocker Jr. Torture Case

    Homeschooled to Death: The Mary and Elwyn Crocker Jr. Torture Case Mary Crocker murder case in Guyton, Georgia, where a 14-year-old girl was found buried in her backyard on December 20, 2018, alongside her brother Elwyn Crocker Jr. The homicide investigation revealed systematic torture, starvation, and child abuse by their father Elwyn Crocker Sr., stepmother Candice Crocker, and three other adults in Effingham County. This death penalty case exposed catastrophic failures in Georgia's Division of Family and Children Services, where reports of child cruelty were ignored while two children vanished from school records under the guise of homeschooling. What happens when the man playing Santa Claus at your local Walmart has two dead children buried in his backyard? This case out of Effingham County, Georgia will absolutely wreck you. We're talking about a house where five adults created their own version of hell for two kids who had nowhere to run. Mary Crocker died right around her fourteenth birthday. Her brother had already been in the ground for two years. The family tree connects back to serial killer Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins, and there's this horrifying pattern of violence that nobody stopped. We've got dog cages in the kitchen, forced starvation while the adults ate normally, and a child welfare system that literally dismissed abuse reports as "too old" to investigate. The surviving brother has cerebral palsy and was allegedly kept alive only because he brought in disability checks. This one stays with you. #TrueCrime #MaryCrocker #ElwynCrocker #EffinghamCounty #ChildAbuse #Georgia #UnsolvedMurders 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    The Teahouse Killing: Sada Abe's Twisted Love Story

    The Teahouse Killing: Sada Abe's Twisted Love Story In May 1936, Tokyo geisha Sada Abe murdered her lover Kichizo Ishida through strangulation, then severed his g******s in what became Japan's most notorious crime of the Showa era. The homicide investigation revealed a twisted love affair between a former sex worker and a married restaurant owner that ended in mutilation, carving bloody inscriptions, and a three-day manhunt through Tokyo. Detectives found Abe carrying the severed body parts in her kimono, treating them like sacred relics. This case goes way beyond tabloid shock value. You've got a woman who survived sexual trauma, disease, and the brutal exploitation of Japan's pleasure districts in the 1930s. She found something that felt like real connection, then decided if she couldn't keep it alive, she'd preserve it in the most horrifying way imaginable. The aftermath is equally wild: she walked free after just a few years, became a stage celebrity playing herself in theater productions, and later ran a bar where people lined up to be served by the woman who committed one of history's most intimate murders. #TrueCrime #SadaAbe #JapaneseCrime #CrimeOfPassion #UnsolvedHistory #MurderPodcast #TrueCrimePodcast 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    Left to Die: The Chante Mallard Case and the Man in Her Windshield

    Left to Die: The Chante Mallard Case and the Man in Her Windshield Gregory Biggs, a 37-year-old homeless man and former bricklayer, was struck by a car on Highway 287 in Fort Worth, Texas in the early morning hours of October 26, 2001. The driver, Chante Mallard, a 25-year-old certified nursing assistant, drove home with Biggs lodged in her windshield and left him to die in her garage. The homicide investigation led detectives through a shocking cover-up involving body disposal at Cobb Park and evidence tampering. Mallard was convicted of murder in 2003 and sentenced to 50 years in prison. This is the story of a collision that should have been a tragedy but became something far worse. Gregory Biggs didn't die on impact. He died slowly, bleeding out in a stranger's garage while she debated what to do about the inconvenience of a dying man trapped in her car. The medical examiner testified he could have survived if she'd made one phone call. This case forces you to ask how someone trained to save lives could sit in her garage, apologize to a dying stranger, and then walk away to let him bleed to death. The answer involves drugs, panic, and a series of choices that turned an accident into one of the most disturbing murders in Texas history. #TrueCrime #WindshieldMurder #ChanteJawanMallard #GregoryBiggs #FortWorth #TexasMurder #HitAndRun 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    The Soho House Murder: How Sylvie Cachay's Breakup Turned Deadly

    The Soho House Murder: How Sylvie Cachay's Breakup Turned Deadly Sylvie Cachay was a 33-year-old Peruvian-American fashion designer found dead in a bathtub at New York City's Soho House on December 9, 2010. The homicide investigation revealed Nicholas Brooks, her 24-year-old boyfriend, strangled and drowned the swimwear designer in what prosecutors called a staged crime scene. The murder trial in 2013 exposed intimate partner violence, financial exploitation, and a twisted family legacy involving Brooks's father, Academy Award-winning composer Joseph Brooks, who was awaiting trial for sexually assaulting 11 women This is the story of a woman who survived the 2008 financial crash and was rebuilding her fashion empire when she met a trust fund kid with no job, no ambition, and a family tree rotting from the inside out. Sylvie was days away from cutting him off completely when everything went wrong in a flooded hotel room. The forensic evidence tells a story of violence that couldn't be hidden by running water and prescription pills. This case has everything: a fire that might not have been an accident, a seven-minute window that destroyed an alibi, and a turtleneck sweater that became the most damning piece of evidence in a Manhattan courtroom. #SylvieCachay #SohoHouseMurder #NicholasBrooks #TrueCrime #NewYorkMurder #IntimatePartnerViolence #UnsolvedNoMore 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    The Joker Killer: James Holmes and the Aurora Theater Massacre

    The Joker Killer: James Holmes and the Aurora Theater Massacre James Eagan Holmes murdered twelve people and injured seventy others during the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises at a Colorado movie theater on July 20, 2012. The Aurora theater shooting investigation revealed a University of Colorado neuroscience PhD candidate who meticulously planned a mass shooting while simultaneously rigging his apartment with homemade napalm and thermite explosives designed to kill first responders. Holmes bought his arsenal the same afternoon he failed his doctoral exams, then spent weeks building what the FBI called a "jungle gym of booby traps" in his apartment. The headlines about the "Joker killer" completely missed the real horror. Holmes developed something he called the "Human Capital" theory, a twisted philosophical framework where he believed killing people would transfer their value to him. He'd been hallucinating violent shadows fighting each other since childhood, saw things he called "Nail Ghosts," and told his girlfriend months before the shooting that he wanted to "kill people, of course." She thought he was joking. His psychiatrist knew he thought about homicide three to four times a day, but couldn't legally hold him. And when three young men heard gunfire in that darkened theater, they all made the same split-second decision to use their bodies as shields, saving the women they loved while dying in the process. #AuroraTheaterShooting #JamesHolmes #DarkKnightRises #ColoradoMassShooting #TrueCrimePodcast #MassShooterProfile #AuroraMassacre 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    The Flint Serial Slasher: Elias Abuelazam

    The Flint Serial Slasher: Elias Abuelazam In August 2010, Elias Abuelazam was arrested at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport while attempting to flee to Israel after a brutal stabbing spree that terrorized Flint, Michigan. The serial killer murdered at least five men and attacked nine others across Michigan, Virginia, and Ohio between May and August 2010, targeting primarily African American men in what became known as the Flint Serial Slasher case. Arnold Minor, a 49-year-old handyman, became a key murder victim when investigators found his blood on Abuelazam's steering wheel and clothing. This is the story of a predator who weaponized kindness. Elias Abuelazam drove through the struggling streets of Flint in his green Chevy TrailBlazer, pretending he needed help with directions or car trouble. When Good Samaritans approached his window, he stabbed them and drove away. Five families lost someone they loved. Nine survivors carry physical and emotional scars that will never fully heal. The case connects to an earlier unsolved murder in Virginia and a violent assault in Israel, painting a picture of escalating violence that spanned continents. We'll walk through the investigation that finally caught him, the controversial insanity defense that failed, and the decision to suspend additional trials that left many families without full closure. #EliasAbuelazam #FlintSerialSlasher #TrueCrime #SerialKiller #Michigan #UnsolvedNoMore #ArnoldMinor 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    Natural Selection: How Religious Extremism Killed Mary Anne Welch

    Natural Selection: How Religious Extremism Killed Mary Anne Welch On August 2, 2018, ten-month-old Mary Anne Welch died of starvation in Solon Township, Michigan. Her parents, Seth Welch and Tatiana Fusari, were convicted of felony murder and first-degree child abuse after investigators discovered the infant weighed only eight pounds at death. The homicide investigation revealed a disturbing pattern of deliberate medical neglect, religious extremism, and a 90-minute delay before calling 911 while Seth consulted his lawyer. This is the story of a baby who starved to death in plain sight. Seth Welch believed in "natural selection" and called doctors the "priesthood of the medical cult." He recorded videos explaining why weak children should die off. Tatiana worked at McDonald's but claimed she was too terrified of her husband to seek help. Their farmhouse was covered in religious signs warning the world to stay away, while inside, Mary Anne's body slowly consumed itself trying to survive. When Seth finally called 911, he told the dispatcher his daughter was "dead as a doornail" and admitted he'd called his attorney first. The autopsy revealed she'd been starving for months. The question isn't whether they killed her. It's how they justified watching it happen. #MaryAnneWelch #SethWelch #TatianaFusari #SolonTownship #TrueCrime #ChildAbuse #Filicide 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.
