Happy New Year, Little Psychos! I wanted to share a recent Patreon episode to give you a preview of the chaos happening behind the Patreon curtain. This is the inaugural episode of “True Crime or Fake Crime?” featuring my cousin Zak — the guy who, as a kid, once slid down a staircase in a sleeping bag and made a human-sized hole in the wall.  In this episode, we go head-to-head trying to figure out which crimes actually happened and which ones were forged in the flames of our deeply f*cked-up imaginations. Apparently very twisted minds run in our family.  I hope you enjoy this episode!  And if you do, please consider joining the Patreon family over at Patreon.com/PsychopediaPod.  Sending you so much gratitude, all my love, and best wishes for a happy, healthy, and suitably dark New Year! xo To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

    "I Killed My Parents...Party On!"

In July 2011, after killing Mary-Jo and Blake Hadley, Tyler invited dozens of friends over, blasted music, drank, danced, and posed for photos, even showing a friend the bodies of his murdered parents. The crime shocked investigators not only for its violence, but for the chilling lack of remorse and the surreal normalcy that followed the gruesome crime. This case isn’t just about patricide; it’s about a young person struggling with severe internal distress that ultimately manifested in unimaginable violence - and two innocent parents who paid the ultimate price.

What followed was not a frantic search for a missing wife, but a methodical excavation of lies, digital breadcrumbs, and extremely damning physical evidence. Alarming surveillance footage, outrageous internet searches, countless bloodstains, and a trail of discarded items (including a hacksaw) painted a picture not of panic, but of preparation and brutality. This episode breaks down the current case against Brian Walshe step by step — from motive to means to aftermath — and examines how a crime meant to erase an entire human being instead became a masterclass in criminal stupidity.

We break down how a subculture steeped in anti-authoritarian performance art became the staging ground for real violence; how a group of teenagers radicalized themselves into believing they were part of something bigger, darker, and more meaningful than they actually were; and how the murder of Sandro Beyer, an innocent 14-year-old boy, became the gruesome centerpiece of their self-created mythology.

Twice is coincidence. Three times feels like a pattern. But what about 40+?More than forty young men have vanished under nearly identical circumstances and share a strikingly similar victimology - same age range, same build, same final narrative: “He was drinking… he wandered off… must’ve slipped into the river.” Clean, convenient explanations.  But when do multiple accidents stop feeling accidental? And when does coincidence start looking like choreography? Those questions are the backbone of the Smiley Face Killers, which is actually a theory suggesting a possible serial killing network operating across the United States. Law enforcement agencies overwhelmingly reject it. But a small group of former NYPD detectives and private investigators remain unconvinced. And that divide, between official rulings and unresolved doubt, is where this tragic yet fascinating case still lives.

    Morgue Monster: David Fuller

    Please SUBSCRIBE to this channel! Follow Slater on Instagram + TikTok: @investigatorslater  Join our Patreon family! (www.Patreon.com/PsychopediaPod) On Patreon, you'll get AD FREE episodes, merch discounts, exclusive content, extra true crime cases, behind-the-scenes, private group chats, and much more!  David Fuller, aka the “Morgue Monster”,  committed the largest known necrophilic crime spree in British legal history. For over three decades, Fuller exploited his job as an electrician at two U.K. hospitals throughout the 1990s and 2000s, slipping into morgues with full, unrestricted access. There, he sexually violated more than 100 female corpses — victims ranging in age from children to the elderly — and documented everything with chilling precision. Investigators later uncovered over one million photos and videos of his atrocities.  Fuller’s violence didn’t begin with the morgues. He murdered two innocent young women, Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce, not only to end their lives, but to ensure access to their bodies afterward. This case is one of the most disturbing ever uncovered — grotesque, calculated, and psychologically twisted.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Please listen with care.The Goler Clan case is one of the most harrowing, and somewhat hidden, tragedies in North American history: a remote, impoverished community in the hills of Nova Scotia where generational incest, abuse, and neglect went unchecked for decades. What outsiders dismissed as a "hillbilly sex ring” was, in reality, a closed-off world where children were trapped in cycles of violence they couldn’t name and had almost no power to escape. When authorities finally intervened in the 1980s, what they uncovered was devastating: a closed community so isolated, so ignored, that the line between victim and perpetrator had blurred across generations. The arrests that followed shattered the quiet of the Annapolis Valley and exposed the brutal truth of what had been going on for decades. This is a case steeped in horrific darkness, and every detail forces us to confront the uncomfortable question: how many horrors thrive simply because no one bothers to look, care, or act?
