    Colin Pitchfork, the Footpath Phantom, was a murdering serial rapist who haunted the dark woods and paths of South Leicestershire England, stalking teenage girls like a troll in a fairy tale, and who would become the first killer ever caught and convicted with DNA evidence, a bizarre story with more twists, turns and red herrings than any mystery novel.

    Episode 133: The New York Zodiac "Eddie" Hariberto Seda

    “Eddie” Heriberto Seda was a serial killer with an uncanny resemblance to Eddie Munster, who was obsessed with sorcery, necromancy, astronomy, magic and spells, and who envisioned himself as a continuation of the infamous Zodiac Killer who’d terrorized San Francisco twenty years earlier. Like the original Zodiac Killer, Eddie wrote bizarre letters to the press and police, plunging New York into a state of panic and fear, becoming known as the New York Zodiac. It is an utterly bizarre story, with a conclusion as wild as it gets.

    Welcome back to the second and final episode of Fast Times at Upper Merion High and the story of the Main Line Murders. Get ready for craziness, for today’s episodes has more twists and turns than a python in a pretzel factory, and enough sex and drugs to make a hippie blush. When we last left you things were really heating up in the elite upper-class Philadelphia suburb of Main Line as English teacher Bill Bradfield’s cult of nerds began infighting and the Prince of Darkness, Dr Jay C. Smith ramped up his nefarious criminal ways and today it all boils over into cold-blooded murder.   MURDER COASTER PODCAST Hosted by Christa Carmen and Matthew Brockmeyer Website: www.murdercoasterpodcast.com Facebook: Murder Coaster Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/murdercoasterpodcast/   Creepy Amusement Park theme by Brandon Fiechter and Derek Fiechter, used by permission and with many thanks.   FEATURING THE SONG:   “You Will Fall” by Austin Moffa courtesy of the Free Music Archive. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   REFERENCES:   Echoes in the Darkness by Joseph Wambaugh.

    Episode 130: Fast Times at Upper Merion High, The Mainline Murders Part One

    Long before high school English teacher Susan Reinert was found dead, naked and beaten in the hatchback of her Plymouth Horizon, it was obvious that the staff of Upper Merion High were out of control and engaged in debauchery of all sorts. The principal, Dr Jay C. Smith, whom staff and students alike referred to as the Prince of Darkness, had a penchant for bestiality, robbery and drug dealing. The chair of the English Department, Bill Bradfield, a self-professed poet obsessed with fascist writer Ezra Pound, was known to be carrying on wild affairs with students and staff alike. In the end five people would end up murdered or missing, including two children, in a bizarre case that’s come to be known as the Main Line Murders. Buckle up and get ready for one hell of a ride, it’s Fast Times at Upper Merion High.   MURDER COASTER PODCAST Hosted by Christa Carmen and Matthew Brockmeyer Website: www.murdercoasterpodcast.com Facebook: Murder Coaster Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/murdercoasterpodcast/   Creepy Amusement Park theme by Brandon Fiechter and Derek Fiechter, used by permission and with many thanks.   REFERENCES:   Echoes in the Darkness by Joseph Wambaugh.

    Amelia Dyer, the Ogress of Reading, is believed to be responsible for the murder of up to 400 infants, delighting in their struggles as she strangled them to death, in late Victorian England. Amelia, who was part of an underground network of baby farms, left dead babies in her wake everywhere she went, buried in gardens, tossed into weeds, thrown into the river. Happy Holidays!
