    Episode 107 - Gayno Smith & Donald Piper

    This week, Manda kicks off our month in Iowa by digging into not one, but two chilling true crime cases that left a lasting mark on the state. First, she unpacks the disturbing story of Gayno Gilbert Smith, a case filled with unsettling twists and a life cut short in brutal fashion. Then, just when you think the darkness has peaked, she closes out the episode with the haunting details of the Donald Piper case, a crime that raises even more questions about motive, opportunity, and how evil can hide in plain sight. Two cases. One state. And a month of Iowa stories that’s only just beginning. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of murder, violence, and disturbing criminal behavior.

    Episode 106 - The Murder of Sylvia Likens

    This week on Spine-Chilling Chats, Ang takes us to Indiana to cover one of the most heartbreaking and disturbing cases in the state’s history, the tragic murder of Sylvia Likens. In 1965, 16-year-old Sylvia was placed in the care of Gertrude Baniszewski while her parents were away, believing she would be safe. Instead, Sylvia endured months of unimaginable cruelty, abuse, and torment that would ultimately lead to her tragic death. In this episode, Ang discusses the events leading up to Sylvia’s murder, the individuals responsible, the failures that allowed the abuse to continue, and the trial that shocked the nation. While this story is incredibly difficult to hear, we take time to remember Sylvia not only as a victim of a horrific crime, but as a young girl whose life was taken far too soon. As always, we approach these stories with respect for the victims and their loved ones, sharing these cases to honor those who were lost and to ensure their stories are never forgotten. **Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of child abuse, torment, torture, sexual abuse, and murder. Viewer discretion is strongly advised. The video version of this episode also contains graphic images related to the case.** Join us as we uncover the heartbreaking story of Sylvia Likens.

    Episode 105 - Belle Gunness

    Indiana is serving up nightmares this week, and Manda is leading the charge with one of the most infamous killers in American history: Belle Gunness. Known as the "Black Widow of La Porte," Belle Gunness built a reputation as a hardworking farm owner, but beneath that respectable exterior lurked a shocking trail of death, missing men, mysterious fires, and buried secrets. As lonely suitors arrived at her Indiana farm carrying their life savings, many were never seen again. Did Belle Gunness die in the fire that destroyed her home in 1908, or did one of America's most prolific serial killers escape justice and vanish without a trace? Join Manda as she unravels the chilling story of greed, deception, and murder that turned a quiet Indiana farm into one of the most notorious crime scenes in American history. Grab your favorite spooky beverage, settle in, and prepare for a tale that proves monsters don't always hide in the shadows, they sometimes welcome you right through the front door.

    Episode 104 - The Iroquois Theatre Fire

    This week on the Spine-Chilling Chats Podcast, we close out our month in Illinois with one of the deadliest disasters in American history, the horrifying Iroquois Theatre Fire. What was supposed to be a joyful afternoon in Chicago quickly turned into absolute chaos when fire tore through the “fireproof” theater, trapping hundreds inside. This heartbreaking and terrifying tragedy changed safety laws across the country forever, but the stories of panic, heroism, and devastating loss still haunt Chicago to this day. Join Manda and Ang as they dive into the history, the mistakes that led to catastrophe, and the lingering ghost stories said to surround the site even now. Trigger warning for talk of death of children. As we wrap up Illinois, get ready, next month we’re heading a little closer to home as we kick off our June episodes in Indiana.

    Hey Spooks… we’re kicking off our month of Illinois cases with one of the most horrifying true crime stories to ever come out of Chicago.

This week, we’re covering the terrifying case of the Chicago Ripper Crew, a group whose crimes shocked even seasoned investigators with the sheer brutality of what they did. What starts as a discussion about a notorious serial killer group quickly spirals into one of the most disturbing episodes we’ve ever covered on Spine-Chilling Chats. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of mutilation, torture, rape, cannibalism, and murder.
