    Ted Bundy and the Murder of Kimberly Leach

    I'm Cory, and this week on CrimeTimeSnacks, we are looking at the devastating timeline of Ted Bundy's crimes and his eventual capture in Florida. From his early murders in Washington and Utah to his brazen escape from a Colorado jail, Bundy left a trail of terror across the country. He used a fake arm sling and a charming demeanor to lure young women to his Volkswagen Beetle, vanishing them into the night. But his arrival in Florida in 1978 brought a new level of horror when a twelve-year-old girl disappeared from her school. We'll walk through the timeline, the escapes, and the stolen car in Pensacola that finally brought his cross-country reign to a halt.

    The Zodiac Ciphers

    I've covered a lot of cold cases, but nothing gets under my skin quite like the Zodiac. Between 1968 and 1969, a phantom stalked the San Francisco Bay Area, targeting couples on lonely roads and a cab driver in the city. But the murders were only half the story. The killer craved the spotlight, taunting police and the public with a bizarre trail of letters, bomb threats, and complex cryptograms sent directly to local newspapers. In this episode, we are walking through the confirmed timeline of the Zodiac's terrifying reign. We will look at the brutal attacks that left five dead and two wounded, the desperate race to decode his ciphers before he struck again, and the chilling reality that some of those messages remained unsolved for over fifty years. Grab your snacks and settle in, because we are diving into one of the most infamous mysteries in American history.

    I'm Cory, and today on CrimeTimeSnacks we are looking into the deeply disturbing case of Lori Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell. What began with the disappearance of two children in Rexburg, Idaho, quickly unraveled into a complex web of extreme fringe beliefs, suspicious deaths, and a sudden flight to Hawaii. We will trace the timeline of how a religious fiction author and a mother of three crossed paths, forming a small apocalyptic group. From the initial police inquiries to the discovery of a tragic crime scene, we will explore the documented evidence of how doomsday ideologies and financial motives merged into a series of unthinkable acts.

    The Murdaugh Family Murders

    Hey everyone, Cory here. Today we are looking at a case that completely consumed the South Carolina Lowcountry. The Murdaugh family was a legal dynasty, but everything started to unravel on a June night in 2021 when Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were found dead near the dog kennels of their hunting lodge. Alex Murdaugh told investigators he had been napping at the house and then left to visit his mother, who had dementia. But a video Paul recorded at the kennels, with Alex's voice in the background, told a different story. We are walking through the timeline, the botched crime scene, the 2023 trial, and the 2026 ruling that threw out the murder convictions. Alex Murdaugh is awaiting a new trial, set for April 2027, and is presumed innocent of the murders.

    Elisa Lam and the Cecil Hotel

    I'm Cory, and this week on CrimeTimeSnacks we are looking at a case that completely took over the internet in 2013. Elisa Lam was a Canadian student traveling alone through California. When she vanished from a notorious Los Angeles hotel, the only clue left behind was a bizarre security video from an elevator that left millions of people guessing. We will walk through Elisa's journey down the coast, her struggles with mental health, and her final known movements in downtown LA. The police had very little to go on, and the search of the massive hotel was restricted by legal limits, leaving her family desperate for answers. Eventually, a gruesome discovery on the roof would answer where she went, but it only sparked more questions. We are going to dig into the actual facts of the investigation, the coroner's final conclusions, and how online sleuths built a massive mystery out of a tragic reality.
