How did they evade detection for so long, and what psychological forces played into their twisted motives? We’ll unpack the strange psychology behind the nurses' actions, the chilling modus operandi, and the horrifying moments of the investigation that shocked Austria and the world. Join us as we explore the dark side of human nature and the terrifying reality of the Lainz Angels of Death. From the cold hospital corridors to the twisted personalities behind the murders, this episode takes you inside one of the most notorious and complex serial killer cases of the 20th century.Get ready for a journey into a case where the lines between care and cruelty blur in the most terrifying way.

    In today's episode, we bring you a guest episode from Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide. Ky brings you the infamous Betty Broderick case, a story of love, betrayal, and murder. Betty, a once-devoted wife and mother, found herself at the center of a scandalous double homicide after her bitter divorce from her ex-husband, Dan Broderick, and his new wife, Linda Kolkena. Raised in a strict Catholic household, Betty's life took a dark turn as her marriage crumbled, leading to years of resentment, emotional trauma, and ultimately, the murders. Ky examines the events that pushed Betty to the edge, from her tumultuous relationship with Dan to the psychological and emotional toll that came with their separation.

    Chapter 86: Execution of an Innocent Man-The Murders of Narnie Bryson and Sister Tadea Benz

    "I’d like to thank my family for loving me and taking care of me. And the rest of the world can kiss my ass.” After the murder nun in Amarillo, Texas, police are convinced they found their killer. Johnny Frank Garrett was tried, sentenced, and executed for the murder of Sister Tadea Benz, but this case is not as straightforward as it seems. From the misconduct of a medical examiner, calls for clemency from Pope John Paul II, omitted evidence, and a second murder that police knew was tied to Sister Tadea's, this is a case where nothing is as it seems. The murders of two women were a rabbit hole that concluded with the realization that Johnny Frank Garrett was executed for a crime he probably didn't commit. This is the story that inspired a movie and three people who were victims of a killer and the justice system. Connect with us on Social Media!
