    The Clearfield Rapist

    From 1991 to 2002, there was a series of random sexual assaults in Utah and Wyoming. DNA was left at the scene of 11 attacks. Unfortunately, this DNA didn’t match any identified person in CODIS and eventually, the cases went cold. In 2017, investigators approached Dr. Barbara Rae-Venter to help solve this case through the use of familial DNA. The science had come a long way since 2002, and Dr. Rae-Venter was able to track down family members of the attacker. Ultimately, this led to the arrest of Mark Douglas Burns who admitted to these eleven attacks and three murders for which he had not even been suspected. Mark Douglas Burns was sentenced to 242 years in prison for the attacks alone.    Come along with Hannah and Lainey as they discuss their favorite Scooby-Doo characters, burglary vs. robbery, and what is a second cousin?   CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of rape, sexual assault, and homicide.

    The Senseless Murder of Lauren Giddings

    Lauren Giddings spent the summer of 2011 studying to take the bar exam. She had just graduated from law school in May and was planning to move in with her boyfriend soon. When her sister hadn’t heard from Lauren in a couple of days, she sent one of Lauren’s friends over to check on her, but nobody answered. The friend used a spare key to get into the apartment. Lauren’s keys, wallet, and purse were there, but Lauren was nowhere to be found. A missing persons report was filed and a search party was formed. The next morning while detectives are investigating, they smell something strange. The smell leads them to the garbage cans where they uncover the torso of a human body. Investigators discover a hacksaw in the maintenance room of this apartment building that appears to have some blood and tissue on it. Only two people have a key to this room: the owner of the building and the maintenance man. Or at least that’s what police think at first, until they find a secret third master key in a fellow law student and neighbor’s apartment.  Nobody would want to hurt Lauren. So who could have done this? Her boyfriend who didn’t really want her to be moving in? Her ex-boyfriend who still had feelings for her? The maintenance man who had a key and a hacksaw? Or a fellow law school graduate who lived next door with a secret third master key?  Follow along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss this horrific case, as well as, rollerblading, the bar exam, and having a saw room.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of homicide and dismemberment.

    The Grimes Sisters

    On December 28, 1956, sisters Barbara Grimes, 15, and Patricia Grimes, 12, left their home to go see Elvis Presley’s “Love Me Tender” at the Brighton Theater in Chicago. When they didn’t arrive home by midnight, their mother alerted the authorities. Police officers and hundreds of volunteers searched for them for days, but the weather was brutal and searches eventually came to a halt. On January 22, 1957, the girls’ bodies were found in a ditch along the side of a road in Willow Springs, IL. Both bodies showed signs of trauma including marks, bruises, and puncture wounds to the chest. There have been some suspects over the years but there has never been enough evidence to definitively link anyone to the murders. This year will mark 70 years since the girls disappeared and police are no closer to finding their killer than they were in 1956. Did four young boys assault them and throw them out in the cold? Was it a stablehand who admitted to killing three young boys the year before? Or the dishwasher who admitted to the murders after being interrogated for hours? Follow along as Hannah and Lainey theorize and discuss the upcoming winter Olympics, horse girls, and romanticizing winter.   CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of homicide and sexual assault.

    The Mysterious Disappearance of the Sodder Children

    On today’s episode of Spooky B*tch Walk, Hannah tells Bob about the mysterious disappearance of the Sodder children. On Christmas Eve 1945, the Sodder family was gathered in their home spending a cozy night together. Six of the ten Sodder children asked their parents, George and Jennie, if they could stay up late because they were having such a good time together. Jennie and George allowed this; it was Christmas Eve, after all.  Around midnight, the phone rang and Jennie answered it. She saw that only one of her children was still in the living room asleep on the couch. She assumed the other five must have gone up to bed. Around 1am, Jennie was awoken by the smell of smoke. Their home was on fire and the flames were spreading fast. George and Jennie along with 4 of their children were able to escape the flames, but five of their children were still inside. Or were they?  The Sodder home burnt to the ground in 45 minutes. No remains were ever found indicating that there were no other bodies in the house when it burned. There are many theories about what could have possibly happened. Were the flames hot enough to cremate all five bodies? Had they been kidnapped and the house set on fire to hide evidence? Was an angry local banker to blame for the arson? Or did the children simply run away never to contact their family again? Along the way, Hannah and Bob discuss black holes, Carole Baskin, and who can handle the most gore.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains strong language.

    The Ant Hill Kids

    From 1977-1989, the Ant Hill Kids Cult (AKA the Holy Moses Mountain Family) operated in isolated areas of Quebec and Ontario, Canada. The leader of this group, Roch Thériault, collected followers while working at a homeopathic clinic. Roch was able to convince his followers to sell all of their belongings and sever ties with their family members and follow him. Things were fine at first, but as Roch’s drinking got worse, so did the abuse. Roch believed he was a holy healer and to prove this to his followers, he performed amateur operations on anyone experiencing any kind of illness. Obviously, this led to multiple deaths on the commune. Eventually, authorities were alerted when a child passed away due to being abused by Roch. Roch was sentenced to 18 months in jail. His followers were waiting for him when he got out and things only got worse.  Follow along with Hannah and Lainet as they discuss Lainey’s first time watching Twilight, the winter Olympics, and suffering but being happy about it.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of child abuse, child death, sexual abuse, and torture.

    Vanished in Connecticut: The Jennifer Farber Dulos Case

    On May 24, 2019, Jennifer Dulos dropped her five children off at school and then was never seen again. Jennifer grew up wealthy and had access to all the best opportunities, but all she ever wanted was a loving husband and children. When she hadn’t met the perfect man by the time she was 35, she started making plans to have a child on her own. But then, she ran into Fotis Dulos. They were married very quickly and turned to IVF to ensure Jennifer would get pregnant right away. They ended up having five children together.  Jennifer loved being a mother, but her marriage was not what she had envisioned for herself. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Fotis could be scary and too hard on the kids. After Jennifer found out about his infidelity, they decided to separate and shortly after, Jennifer filed for divorce. This would turn into a two years long custody battle that would ultimately lead to Jennifer’s disappearance.  Join Hannah and Lainey as they discuss accents, drinking in parks, and how you shouldn’t even bother murdering anyone because of technology.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of domestic abuse and homicide.

The Walker family set sail on the Wandering Minstrel in the fall of 1887 with the goal of starting a shark fishery near the Hawaiian islands. The Walkers brought their dog, Jessie, and 24 crew members along. In February 1888, they ran into some storms while anchored near the Midway Atoll. After 3 days of storms, one of the anchors broke causing the ship to run into the reef which forced everyone to abandon ship. They all ended up on the Midway Atoll where they discovered someone was already living. Who was this mystery man? How long had he been trapped on this island? And more importantly, how long would they be trapped on this island? Come along as Hannah and Lainey discuss survival skills, being dancey, and dogs being heroes.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of homicide and cannibalism.

    Cari Farver

    On today’s episode of Spooky B*tch Walk, Hannah tells Lainey about the stalking of Dave Kroupa and the murder of Cari Farver. In 2012, Dave was looking for a casual relationship so he went on the dating app, Plenty of Fish. This is how he met Liz Golyar and Cari Farver. He had only been seeing Cari for two weeks when she sent him a text saying they should move in together. Dave didn’t want to do this and when he told her that, he started receiving harassing messages from Cari. He never saw Cari again but he continued to receive texts and emails from her that became increasingly threatening over time. Liz started receiving these kinds of messages from Cari too. Cari even sent pictures to Dave of the inside of Liz’s house and burned Liz’s house with her pets inside.  After about three years of this stalking behavior, the dream team with the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Department (Jim Doty, Ryan Avis, and Tony Kava) cracks the case. And what they find will shock you.  Come along as Hannah and Lainey discuss hot chocolate, Christmas lights, and how to protect yourself against stalkers.
