    The Green River Killer Part 4

    Years into the Green River investigation, detectives still did not know the identity of the man responsible—but the discoveries were far from over. In Part 4, we follow the cases of Tracy Winston, Maureen Feeney, Kimberly Nelson, Cindy Smith, Debra Estes, Andrea Childers, Marta Reeves, Roberta Hayes, Patricia Barczak, and Patricia Yellowrobe. Some were found years after they disappeared. Others were not immediately connected to the Green River case at all. As the case dragged on, the task force faced shrinking resources, pressure from above, and the painful reality that women and girls were still being overlooked—even as evidence suggested the killer had not truly stopped. This episode also explores the warning signs investigators missed, the victims whose identities and stories were lost in paperwork and assumptions, and the long silence before new technology finally brought Gary Ridgway into focus. Part 4 ends just before the breakthrough that would finally bring the Green River Killer’s name to light. 📧 Send us case suggestions and listener stories: monstroustcpod@gmail.com 📱 Follow us on all social media links here: https://linktr.ee/monstrouspod

    We Officially Have A Song!!!

    Now debuting: “This is Monstrous” — the official theme song for the podcast. Some stories are buried beneath small-town roads, old houses, forgotten headlines, and the silence left behind. But the truth has a way of lingering. “This is Monstrous” is an eerie tribute to the murders, mysteries, disappearances, hauntings, and dark legends explored on this show. It’s for the names that still deserve to be spoken, the questions that remain unanswered, and the shadows that never quite leave. Turn down the lights, listen closely, and step into the dark. Every town has something buried. Every shadow has a name. This is Monstrous. Check out our TikTok to hear the full song.

    The Green River Killer Part 3

    In Part 3 of our Green River Killer series, the discoveries keep coming—and each one reveals more about the scale of the horror unfolding around Seattle. As investigators search wooded areas, airport-adjacent fields, and remote dump sites, more victims are found. Some are identified quickly. Others remain known only as “Bones” for decades before DNA and forensic genealogy finally give them their names back. We talk about the women and girls at the center of this case, including Wendy Stephens, Cheryl Wims, Colleen Brockman, Mary Sue Bello, Martina Authorlee, Carrie Ann Rois, Sandra Major, and Lori Anne Razpotnik. And then there is Ted Bundy. While sitting on death row in Florida, Bundy reached out to investigators with supposed insight into the Green River Killer. Was he helping—or was he using the investigation as another opportunity to talk about himself, delay his execution, and manipulate the people across the table from him? 📧 Send us case suggestions and listener stories: monstroustcpod@gmail.com 📱 Follow us on all social media links here: https://linktr.ee/monstrouspod Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil: https://www.hulu.com/series/e8344893-aef9-4085-bdd0-0bb5f4b25828?play=false&utm_source=shared_link

    The Green River Killer Part 2

    The Green River Task Force is reaching a breaking point. As the victim count rises through late 1983, investigators shift from reacting to bodies to flooding Pacific Highway South with undercover surveillance, decoys, and early computer databases. But despite tracking leads on primed pickup trucks and ordinary-looking drivers, the killer manages to blend into the background. In this episode, we trace the heartbreaking stories of Gail Matthews, Mary Bridget Meehan, and other young women lost to this spree. We examine the moment police stood face-to-face with Gary Leon Ridgway at his front door—and how an anonymous, cryptic letter sent to a local reporter held the truth decades before anyone realized it. 📧 Send us case suggestions and listener stories: monstroustcpod@gmail.com 📱 Follow us on all social media links here: https://linktr.ee/monstrouspod

    The Green River Killer Part 1

    Before the Green River Killer became one of the most infamous serial killers in American history, he was just a name no one suspected — while bodies were already beginning to surface. In Part 1 of our Gary Ridgway series, we trace the terrifying early timeline of the Green River case, from the first victims to the moment investigators realized they were facing something far darker than a string of disappearances. This is where the case begins, and where the pattern starts to emerge. 📧 Send us case suggestions and listener stories: monstroustcpod@gmail.com 📱 Follow us on all social media links here: https://linktr.ee/monstrouspod

    The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway

    Natalee Holloway was 18 years old when she vanished on a graduation trip to Aruba, and the nightmare that followed would stretch on for nearly two decades. In this episode of Monstrous, we follow the disappearance, the chaos of the early investigation, the endless lies, and the dark trail that finally led back to Joran van der Sloot. Even after the confession, one devastating question still remains: where is Natalee? 📧 Send us case suggestions and listener stories: monstroustcpod@gmail.com 📱 Follow us on all social media links here: https://linktr.ee/monstrouspod

    When Mass Hysteria Spreads

    In this episode of Monstrous, we’re diving into three real cases of mass psychogenic illness that left investigators searching for answers. It starts in 1962, when a laughter outbreak swept through a Tanzanian boarding school and spread into surrounding communities. Then we move to a North Carolina factory, where workers began reporting strange symptoms after fear took hold on the floor. Finally, we head to the West Bank, where fainting episodes spread across multiple schools in the middle of growing panic. We also look at a more modern example from LeRoy, New York, where teenage girls developed sudden tics and twitching that sparked the same kinds of questions all over again. Different places. Different symptoms. Same unsettling pattern. What happens when fear spreads faster than logic — and a whole group starts reacting before anyone understands why? 📧 Send us case suggestions and listener stories: monstroustcpod@gmail.com 📱 Follow us on all social media links here: https://linktr.ee/monstrouspod

    The Meowing Nuns

    A convent in France. Silence, ritual, and devotion. And then, according to later accounts, the sound of cat-like cries breaking through the stillness. In this episode of Monstrous, we unravel the eerie story of the meowing nuns — a medieval tale that lives somewhere between legend, historical memory, and psychological mystery. We explore what people believed was happening, why the story survived, and what it reveals about fear, control, and the fragile line between order and collapse. We also dig into the symbolism of cats in medieval Europe and the possibility that the tale reflects something deeper about shared distress and collective behavior. 📧 Send us case suggestions and listener stories: monstroustcpod@gmail.com 📱 Follow us on all social media links here: https://linktr.ee/monstrouspod
