    RE-RELEASE of Aileen Wuornos And The Road To Murder

    A woman with a gun hitchhiking across Florida sounds like a myth until you follow the dates, the roads, and the bodies left behind. We tell the full story of Eileen Wuornos, from the brutal childhood that shaped her to the relationship and money pressure that set the stage for a fast, violent run through 1989 and 1990. Along the way, we talk about why Monster hit so hard, what the movie gets right, and what it smooths over to make the story easier to watch. We walk through each victim and the contradictions that keep showing up in Wuornos’ own telling of events, especially her shifting claims of self-defense. The pattern becomes clearer as the cooling-off periods shorten, the stolen cars and pawned weapons pile up, and the murders bounce across counties that do not immediately connect the dots. We also dig into the “how did she get caught” part, from the crashed Pontiac Sunbird and remembered faces to the aliases, the bar sting, and the jailhouse calls that help prosecutors lock in a confession. Then we sit with the end of the road: multiple death sentences, the media circus around a “female serial killer who killed like a man,” and the uncomfortable questions the case forces on anyone who listens to true crime for more than shock value. If you care about criminal psychology, trauma, accountability, and the death penalty, you will have opinions by the time we hit her last meal and last words.

    EPISODE 100: Ted Bundy PART 1

    Ted Bundy doesn’t start as a headline, he starts as a story people around him tell to make everything feel normal. For our 100th episode, we kick off season three with part one of a three-part series that traces how secrecy, shame, and early violence can sit right beside a polished smile, a law school plan, and a “seems like a good guy” reputation. We walk through Bundy’s early life and the identity lie that shaped it, plus the disturbing reports that show up long before the murders: cruelty, fear games, animal torture, voyeurism, and a growing need for control. We also talk about pornography and sexual violence content in the way Bundy later framed it, and why real prevention is less about moral panic and more about guidance, boundaries, and teaching what healthy relationships actually look like. Then the mask gets sharper. We dig into his ambition, theft, politics, and the relationships he uses as motivation and leverage, including Liz Kendall and the “Stephanie” breakup that fuels a long con. One of the most chilling turns is the crisis hotline era, where Bundy works alongside Ann Rule, who later becomes central to how the world understands the case. From there, we lay out the first known 1974 attacks in Washington State, the patterns in his approach, the jurisdiction chaos that slows investigations, and the Lake Sammamish day that puts “Ted” into public fear. If you’re into true crime podcast deep dives, serial killer psychology, and the real mechanics of how predators operate, this is where the timeline begins.

    Sleeping In The Lizzie Borden House

    We hit record from one of the most infamous addresses in American true crime: the Lizzie Borden house in Fall River, Massachusetts. We’re on a New England road trip, we’re exhausted, and we’re literally sleeping in the Lizzie and Emma suite while telling the story of the 1892 axe murders that still spark arguments 130 years later. The house is tight, creaky, and weirdly calm, which somehow makes the details hit harder.  We walk through the Borden family dynamics, Andrew Borden’s money and extreme frugality, the slow-building tension over property and loyalty, and the way Victorian expectations shaped how everyone judged Lizzie. Then we lay out the murder timeline: Abby Borden killed upstairs in the guest room, Andrew Borden killed later on the sitting room sofa, and the uncomfortable questions about what was heard, what was seen, and what could be missed in a house with tricky sightlines.  From there, we dig into the investigation and trial problems that true crime fans obsess over: Lizzie being given morphine and caffeine powder, stories that shift under pressure, the infamous bucket of bloody rags, axes and hatchets in the basement, and a murder weapon that’s never clearly identified. We also talk through why the blood evidence and basic logistics make us doubt the simplest explanation, even if you still suspect she knew more than she said.  We wrap with what happens after the acquittal, why the case remains unsolved, and a quick band spotlight that keeps the road trip energy alive.

    EPISODE 99: Stephen Griffiths deserves no killer title

    He didn’t just fantasize about being a serial killer. He said it out loud, chased the identity, studied the psychology, and then acted on it in the most brutal way. We’re closing Season Two with the case of Stephen Griffiths, also known as the “Crossbow Cannibal,” and it’s the kind of story that leaves you asking how many warning signs a system can ignore before the outcome becomes inevitable.  We trace Griffiths from early violence and fixation on infamous killers into a life that looked “smart” on paper, with psychology and criminology studies, while his private behavior spiraled into weapons obsession, stalking, coercive control, and cruelty. Then Bradford starts seeing women disappear, and the case turns on chilling breaks: a phone left behind, a video discovered in the worst possible way, and surveillance footage that captures the moment everything collapses around him. If you’ve searched for “Stephen Griffiths Bradford murders,” “UK true crime podcast,” or “Crossbow Cannibal CCTV,” we lay out the timeline clearly and talk through what the evidence actually shows.  Most importantly, we keep the spotlight where it belongs: on Susan Rushworth, Shelly Armitage, and Suzanne Blameers as real people with families, histories, and attempts to rebuild their lives. We talk about how sex workers get targeted because predators assume nobody will care, and we push back hard on the culture that turns killers into icons. To cleanse the palate after a heavy case, Jesse closes with a wild, fun band pick: Texas Toast Chainsaw Massacre.  If you want more victim-centered true crime with honest reactions and real conversation, follow, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.

    EPISODE 98: The Suspicious Death of Joanna Hunter Lewis

    A “suicide” ruling can close a case in minutes, but it can also lock a family into years of unanswered questions. We’re telling the story of Joanna Lynn Hunter, a talented, empathetic woman whose life becomes tangled in coercive control, religious pressure, and a partner with a documented history of violence. The details are infuriating: prior strangulation and abuse, a relationship shaped by a cult-like church environment, and an investigation that appears to accept the simplest explanation without doing the work Joanna deserved. We walk through the timeline: Joanna’s early life and promise, the way Mark Lewis’s family weaponizes religion and racism, and how abuse escalates even after jail time and an order of protection. When Joanna is found hanging in a closet on church property, the response is fast, the questioning is brief, and the red flags tied to domestic violence don’t get the attention they demand. We also discuss why strangulation cases require special urgency, and how “staged suicide” scenarios can be missed when investigators fail to check history, preserve evidence, or challenge a suspect’s story. Then the pattern widens. Another woman, Sarah Nottingham, reports violence and harassment, and a Molotov cocktail attack on her parents’ home leads to arrests that put a spotlight back on Joanna’s case. We dig into the reopened investigation, disputed forensic findings, DNA questions, and the heartbreaking reality of how hard it is to correct a rushed conclusion years later. We end with the impact of Joanna’s Law (passed in California in 2025) and why every state needs stronger protocols for suspicious deaths connected to domestic violence.

    EPISODE 97: Abraham Shakespeare

    A $30 million lottery ticket sounds like freedom, until it starts sounding like footsteps behind you. We’re drinking about the true crime case of Abraham Shakespeare, a Florida lottery winner who went from day labor and barbershop hangouts to sudden fame, nonstop handouts, and the kind of attention that turns every relationship into a transaction. We talk through how he took the lump sum, how quickly the money moved through houses, mortgages, and “loans,” and why winning big can make it impossible to know who’s actually in your corner. Then we dig into the part that still makes our skin crawl: the slow takeover. Dee Dee Moore enters Abraham’s life through promises of help, a book deal, and financial planning, but the red flags stack up fast. We break down the conflicting stories, the strange phone calls, the texts that don’t make sense for an illiterate man, and the shifting explanations meant to keep police and family at bay. The investigation turns into an undercover operation, and what comes out is one of the most unsettling “jackpot murder” cases we’ve covered. You’ll leave with more than a timeline. We get into real-world lessons about lottery privacy laws, anonymity, boundaries, power of attorney, trusts, and why giving publicly can invite the worst people to test your limits.

    EPISODE 96: Rebecca Schaefer

    A lot of true crime starts with a stranger in the shadows, but this one starts with something almost innocent: fan mail. We’re talking about Rebecca Lucille Schaefer, a young actor and model whose career was taking off when a man decided her life was supposed to belong to him. What follows is a brutal look at celebrity stalking, parasocial obsession, and how quickly “I’m your biggest fan” can turn into a threat. We trace Rebecca’s path from Oregon to New York City, the early modeling work, soap operas, and the breakout attention that came with My Sister Sam. Then we shift to Robert John Bardo, his history of instability, warning signs, and a pattern of fixating on celebrities before targeting Rebecca. We also break down the mechanics of the crime, including how a private investigator got her home address through lax DMV privacy practices and how that access helped turn obsession into murder. The fallout is a key part of why the Rebecca Schaefer case still matters today. We talk through the legal changes that followed, including stronger anti-stalking laws and privacy protections, plus the way her parents’ advocacy shaped the conversation around gun control. And we unpack one of the strangest parts of the trial: the attempt to point to U2’s “Exit” as a cause, and why art is not an alibi for violence. If you care about true crime stories that actually explain the system failures behind the headline, press play, share this with a friend, and subscribe so you don’t miss what we’ve got coming next. After you listen, what do you think prevents stalking best: stronger laws, better mental health intervention, or less access to personal data?

    DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING: Josef Fritzl RECAP

    A man lives a public life with a wife, kids, tenants, holidays, and steady work, while a second family exists behind locked doors no one is allowed to open. That contradiction is what we can’t stop circling in this recap of the Josef Fritzl case, because the most terrifying part isn’t just the basement, it’s how believable the surface story becomes when everyone is trained to look away. We walk through the core timeline in Amstetten, Austria: the early family dysfunction, the respectable mask, and the slow construction of a hidden cellar built to disappear a human being. We talk about the “cult” explanation that keeps questions quiet, the financial manipulation tied to renting and government support, and how secrecy becomes a system, not a single lie. If you’re searching for true crime podcast coverage of Josef Fritzl, Elizabeth Fritzl, captivity, coercive control, and long-term trauma, this conversation lays out the big beats and the moments that still don’t make sense. Then we get to the human side we don’t want anyone to forget: children growing up without sunlight, the physical toll of deprivation, and the ways a mother fights to keep basic education and basic humanity alive in the worst conditions imaginable. We also cover the turning point that forces outside contact, and why a medical crisis and hospital scrutiny matter when a story has been “explained” for years. If you want the full details, listen to our complete two-part series, check out the photos on our socials, and stick around for the bands we feature too.
