    Ep 50 - The Butcher Apostle: Jason Thornburg and the 2021 Ft. Worth Murders

    Hello Spooky Squad! Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour.  Today we're sipping on some delicious lattes from local spot, Old World Coffee Roasters and getting into a chilling and recent true crime case. In September 2021, Fort Worth police made a grisly discovery: the dismembered remains of three individuals burning in a dumpster behind a church. What began as a routine investigation into arson quickly spiraled into one of the most chilling murder cases the city had ever seen. Jason Thornburg, a man with a dark past and deeply unsettling motives, would later confess to the murders, claiming they were part of a "sacrificial ritual." Thornburg's twisted belief system and his brutal acts left the community reeling. Join us as we unravel the chilling details of this case and explore the disturbing mindset of a man who believed he was fulfilling a divine mission. So hang out with us, sip on some bean juice, and remember to stay spooky! Case notes:  Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective M. Barron at 817-392-4339 or Detective T. O'Brien at 817-392-4338. Callers can also contact the homicide unit directly at 817-392-4330.

    Ep 48 - Dorthea Puentes, Landlady Death

    Welcome back, Spooky Squad, to another episode of Scream and Sugar. Today we unravel the sinister story of Dorothea Puente, the "Deathhouse Landlady" - who we like to call Landlady Death - who turned her unassuming boarding house in Sacramento (what up, sister city!) into a house of horrors. Beneath her kind, grandmotherly exterior, Puente orchestrated a shocking scheme of manipulation, theft, and murder that targeted society's most vulnerable. Her crimes came to light in the 1980s, but the darkness surrounding her story runs much deeper. Join us as we peel back the layers of this true crime classic. From Dorothea's troubled past and her ability to deceive even the most watchful eyes to the grisly discoveries buried—quite literally—in her backyard, we dive into how she evaded suspicion for so long and the trial that cemented her as one of America's most notorious female serial killers. Today we are talking about the importance of social work and community relations, as well as referencing a fantastic food spot (Candace's Fave!), Lupita's Mexican Restaurant and Bar. So grab your coffee (or ceviche?), settle in, and remember to stay spooky, ya'll!

    Ep 47 - Cryptids: The Jersey Devil and The Snallygaster

    Welcome back, Spooky Squad to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today we are doing something a little different, a tale on cryptids in the US! Deep in the pine barrens of New Jersey lurks a creature steeped in mystery and legend: the Jersey Devil. With its bat-like wings, hooved feet, and eerie cries that echo through the trees, this cryptid has terrorized locals for centuries. But where did the legend originate? Was it truly born of a mother’s curse in the 1700s, or is it a tale steeped deep in women's reproductive rights? Join us as we untangle folklore, historical sightings, and the cultural impact of this spine-chilling figure.. We are also covering a tale a little further North, but no less creepy. Maryland’s rolling hills hide a darker secret: the Snallygaster. This part-reptile, part-bird creature with razor-sharp talons and a piercing shriek has haunted eastern regions since colonial times. Rooted in German immigrant folklore, the Snallygaster’s story is one of terror, sightings, and even a potential clash with the US President, Teddy Roosevelt. Could it be a manifestation of fear or a cryptid yet to be discovered? We’ll delve into the fascinating lore and uncover how this monster shaped local history.  So come on and settle down as we sip on coffee from Matador Coffee Roasting Company in Flagstaff, AZ and get into some wickedly fun tales.  Matador: https://www.matadorcoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqV1XKUjCvbWnPeSbjzchBw5dOdKmzn_-Nd6w8ua4qikn17Djpv The Snallygaster: https://preservationmaryland.org/haunted-maryland-the-monsters-lurking-in-frederick-county/#:~:text=Then%20on%20February%2012%2C%201909,furor%20and%20interest%20come%20from?https://deathcookie.com/home/monster-of-the-week-the-snallygaster/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snallygaster#:~:text=A%20great%20deal%20of%20publicity,been%20spotted%20mere%20weeks%20earlier.https://www.legendsofamerica.com/snallygaster/#:~:text=The%20mysterious%20creature%20is%20said,%E2%80%9Cquick%20spirit%E2%80%9D%20in%20German.https://coffeehousewriters.com/marylands-snallygaster-and-dwayyo/https://www.wfre.com/2016/10/24/frederick-countys-mythic-monsters-snallygaster-dewayo/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scream-and-sugar-true-crime-coffee-hour--6015946/support.

    Ep 46 - Meredith Returns! The Horrifying Survival Case of Mary Vincent

    Welcome back Spooky Squad, to Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour! And welcome back Meredith! Hang with us as we snack on sandwiches from our local My Favorite Muffin, and listen in as Meredith takes us through the blood-chilling tale of survival, Mary Vincent. In September 1978, 15-year-old Mary was hitchhiking through California when she accepted a ride from Lawrence Singleton. What started as a hopeful journey soon took a sinister turn as Singleton brutally assaulted her, severed both of her arms, and left her for dead in a remote canyon. Astonishingly, Mary fought her way to survival, navigating the rugged landscape until she finally found help.  Singleton’s violence was monstrous, but Mary's survival was nothing short of miraculous. Despite her severe injuries, Mary managed to bring her attacker to justice, later testifying against him and paving the way for the creation of laws aimed at preventing similar injustices. Her story raises profound questions about the criminal justice system, as Singleton received a remarkably light sentence and went on to commit further violent crimes after his release. In sharing Mary’s story, we explore the resilience it takes to rebuild after such a tragedy and the flaws in a system that allowed a predator like Singleton back into society. This case reminds us to advocate for justice reform while honoring Mary’s relentless spirit to move forward and heal.

    Ep 45 - Whispers from the Beyond: The Haunting Case of Teresita Basa

    As we round the corner into Halloween (spooky season!), we thought we would dive into a case that seems...well, difficult to explain. Welcome back, Spooky Squad to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour.  Today, we're bringing you the chilling, and paranormal, case of Teresita Basa, while sipping on fantastic coffee from our local favorite, Pangolin Cafe.  In 1977, Teresita Basa, a quiet, well-respected respiratory therapist in Chicago, was found murdered in her apartment, her body set on fire in an attempt to hide the crime. For months, the police were stumped, with no leads or suspects—until an unexpected and eerie twist occurred. A co-worker of Basa, Remy Chua, claimed to be possessed by Basa’s spirit, who used Remy's voice to reveal the name of Teresita's killer. The case forces us to ask: could a ghost truly communicate from beyond the grave, or was it all coincidence? Either way, the story of Teresita Basa is a haunting reminder that sometimes, the truth finds a way to reveal itself—no matter how strange the means. So grab your coffee, settle in, and remember to stay spooky, ya'll!

    Ep 43 - The (Texas) Murders of Andrea Wilborn and Stan Farr, FT Willamina Veneklasen!

    Howdy spooky squad, and welcome back to Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. In today's episode, we are hanging out with proud Texan, Willamina Rose Veneklasen, while she takes us into a chilling case straight out of her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas.  The tragic murders of Andrea Wilburn and Stan Farr, and the attempted murder of Priscilla Davis, were all allegedly committed by millionaire oilman Cullen Davis. On the night of August 2, 1976, the lavish mansion Cullen previously shared with his estranged wife Priscilla became the scene of a bloodbath. Stan Farr, Priscilla’s new boyfriend, was shot dead, and her 12-year-old daughter, Andrea, was brutally killed. Despite being shot herself, Priscilla managed to survive the horrific attack and lived to tell the tale. But the real shocker? Cullen Davis, who was embroiled in a bitter divorce and legal battle with Priscilla, was soon arrested and charged with these heinous crimes. But this case is far from cut and dry. Cullen Davis, a man of wealth and power, managed to dodge conviction in what many believe was the result of his influence and resources. The trial became one of the most sensational in Texas history, filled with twists, including allegations of a hitman hired to kill Priscilla. So grab your coffee and sip with us as we snack on coffee and cake pops from Superstitions Java, and unravel the twisted web of betrayal, power, and murder. And remember, stay spooky, ya'll!
