    The Lake Seminole Murder - Episode 069

    In the swamps of Lake Seminole, a beloved outdoorsman vanishes during a duck hunting trip, and everyone shrugs: “Well… alligators.” But when the body never turns up, the waders start looking less waterproof and a whole lot suspicious. Enter a tangled Southern gothic cocktail of insurance money, secret affairs, church gossip, and one wife who may have treated “til death do us part” as more of a project deadline. The Murder of Mike Williams is the story of how a man disappeared into the Florida wilderness — and how the truth clawed its way back out nearly two decades later       Intro Audio:  Gavin Prater Outro Audio: Jason Poe   Source Credit:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Mike_Williams

    Wade "Deadpool" Wilson - Episode 068

    Wade Wilson shares a name with a comic-book antihero, but there’s nothing fictional about the terror left in his wake. In this episode, we dive into the twisted case of the heavily tattooed murderer whose erratic behavior, obsession with attention, and brutal crimes turned him into one of true crime’s most unsettling modern figures. Fame, violence, narcissism, and chaos collide in a story stranger — and darker — than fiction.       Intro Audio:  Gavin Prater Outro Audio: Jason Poe   Source Credit:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wade_Wilson_(criminal) https://chatgpt.com/c/69e8be93-ccfc-83ea-9976-6f56a43e89f9 https://www.wikihow.com/Weird-Facts

    Vincent Li - Episode 067

    Vincent Li is the man responsible for the 2008 killing of 22-year-old Tim McLean aboard a Greyhound bus traveling through Manitoba. In one of Canada’s most shocking violent crimes, Li attacked and killed McLean in front of horrified passengers near Portage la Prairie. After his arrest, Li was diagnosed with untreated schizophrenia and was found not criminally responsible due to mental disorder. The case sparked nationwide debate over mental health treatment, public safety, and Canada’s criminal justice system. Years later, after psychiatric treatment and supervised release, Li was granted legal freedom under a new name, reigniting controversy and emotional reactions from the victim’s family and the public.       Intro Audio:  Gavin Prater Outro Audio: Jason Poe     Source Credit:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLean#Trial

    Charles Albanese was a wealthy Illinois businessman who secretly poisoned members of his own family with arsenic in the early 1980s for money, inheritance, and control of the family company. Several relatives died after suffering mysterious illnesses, while another survived, raising suspicions that eventually led investigators to uncover the poisoning scheme.

    Richard Speck - Episode 065

    Richard Speck wasn’t a criminal mastermind—he was more like chaos in human form. In 1966, he broke into a Chicago townhouse and brutally murdered eight student nurses in a crime so senseless it shocked the entire country. What followed wasn’t a clever escape or a long game—it was a sloppy unraveling, complete with a self-inflicted injury and a recognizable tattoo that practically introduced him to the police. Speck became infamous not because he was brilliant or calculating, but because his violence was so starkly random and devastating. His story isn’t one of intrigue—it’s a grim reminder that sometimes the most terrifying crimes come not from genius, but from impulse, rage, and opportunity colliding in the worst possible way.       Intro Audio:  Gavin Prater Outro Audio: Jason Poe     Source Credit:  https://chatgpt.com/c/69e8be93-ccfc-83ea-9976-6f56a43e89f9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Speck

    The Central Park Jogger Case - Episode 063

    In April 1989, a brutal assault on a young woman jogging through Central Park shocked New York City and gripped the nation. Within days, five Black and Latino teenagers—later known as the Central Park Five, and now widely referred to as the Exonerated Five—were arrested, interrogated for hours, and convicted in a case fueled by public outrage, sensational media coverage, and intense pressure on law enforcement to find answers. Years later, DNA evidence and a confession from serial rapist Matias Reyes revealed the truth: the five young men were innocent. Their convictions were vacated in 2002. This episode revisits one of America’s most infamous wrongful conviction cases—exploring how fear, race, politics, and a rush to judgment collided in a tragedy that reshaped the national conversation about justice. Through the voices of those closest to the case, we examine not only what happened that night in Central Park, but how the fallout continues to echo decades later.       Intro Audio:  Gavin Prater Outro Audio: Jason Poe   Source Credit:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park_jogger_case

    The Disappearance of Timmothy Pitzen - Episode 062

    In May 2011, six-year-old Timmothy Pitzen vanished after being taken out of school by his mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, for what seemed like a spontaneous trip. Over the next three days, the two were seen traveling through Illinois and Wisconsin, visiting water parks and hotels—appearing, at least on the surface, carefree. Then the case took a dark turn. Amy was found dead in a motel room, leaving behind a note claiming Timmothy was safe but would never be found. More than a decade later, despite countless leads and national attention, no verified trace of him has ever surfaced. The disappearance of Timmothy Pitzen remains one of America’s most haunting unsolved mysteries.       Intro Audio:  Gavin Prater Outro Audio: Jason Poe   Source Credit:  www.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Timmothy_Pitzen
