Heavy true crime base with the love of the macabre and spooky. While I bring cases of murder and mayhem, I also have inside information from within the prison system of the US. The differences of treatment, punishment, and equality that often accidently highlight the injustice within the justice system.

    Harvey Glatman

    Harvey seemed off from a young age, though his mother seemed to disagree. By 17 he was in trouble with the law, attacking women on the street. From robbing, fondling, then advancing to rape and murder after a couple stints in prison. Harvey ended up using his camera to lure his targets into a false sense of security. In the end he killed three women and attempted to murder another, but she put up a fight that resulted in his capture. Ultimately he was sentenced to death, which was carried out when Harvey was just thirty one years old.  Sources: https://www.denverpost.com/2009/11/14/after-55-years-boulder-jane-does-story-finally-coming-together/ https://murderpedia.org/male.G/g/glatman-harvey-photos-2.htm https://www.thatslife.com.au/true-crime/the-glamour-girl-killer-twisted-harvey-glatman-kept-photos-as-souvenirs/ https://theywillkillyou.com/profile/harvey-glatman

    Alpha Dog

    15-year-old Nick Markowitz was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Kidnapped in an attempt to lure out older brother Ben. Unfortunately, Ben was out of town. After Jesse James Hollywood realized he had committed a serious act, he went to his lawyer. But the conversation didn't go as he wanted, and he wanted to dispose of the evidence of kidnapping. Instead of kidnapping, he graduated to murder. Having one of his lackies kill Nick. Jesse Hollywood fled and managed to avoid detection for years, even while he sat on the top of the FBI's most wanted list. Finally found in Brazil five years later and brought to justice.  Sources: Markowitz, susan with Glatzer, Jenna. 2010 My Stolen Son the Nick Markowitz story https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrime/comments/f5j7z6/full_case_of_nicholas_markowitz_long/ https://www.pomc.org/murder-wall/murder-wall-stories/nicholas-samuel-markowitz-15-years-old/ https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/articles/alpha-dog-nicholas-markowitz https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5530172/ https://www.noozhawk.com/gunman-in-alpha-dog-murder-granted-death-penalty-reprieve/

    Kenneth Parnell

    *BONUS* Kenneth Parnell kidnapped and assaulted Stephen Stayner, the younger brother of Cary Stayner, who would go on to become the Yosemite National Park Killer. In a family so small, the tragedies are unfathomably large. Kenneth kidnapped and kept Stephen for years, only when he aged out of Kenneth's preference and brought in an additional young boy did Stephen have the strength to take action. He took the newest kidnap victim, Timothy, and carried him back to the police. Still, for everything that happened, Kenneth served under a decade before getting out. Years later he would be sentenced again, after attempting to have his caregiver buy a 4-year-old. In the end, he died in prison, but not before affecting multiple families exponentially.   Sources: ⁠https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/notorious-child-predator-dies-in-prison/article_0e638ade-58e7-502a-b078-f9d0c00df32e.html⁠ ⁠https://www.factualamerica.com/crime-scene-stories/the-shocking-truth-behind-steven-stayners-7-year-kidnapping-ordeal⁠ ⁠https://www.grunge.com/825537/what-happened-to-steven-stayners-kidnapper-kenneth-parnell/⁠ ⁠https://allthatsinteresting.com/steven-stayner⁠ ⁠https://www.oxygen.com/true-crime-buzz/where-is-kenneth-parnell-who-kidnapped-steven-stayner-now⁠ Captive Audience: A Real American Horror Story

    MMIW- All Open Ended Cases

    This month, we are in the C's for first names. All these women share a few things in common: their cases are unsolved, little is known about them, and the all deserve to be remembered. Many of the women were lost along the Highway of Tears. Some of the cases are decades old, some are in the 2000's. But they are all equally tragic.  Sources: https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/ https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/?profileID=carolyn-connolly https://www.thecanadianlibrary.ca/post/story-of-carolyn-connolly https://www.facebook.com/unsolvedunknown/photos/on-august-2nd-2008-the-body-of-a-woman-was-found-in-an-alley-in-toronto-ontario-/441808585167885/ https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/cassandra-antone https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/cathy-williams https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/cecilia-nikal https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/cecilia-payash https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/chantelle-alice-rose-bushie https://www.vice.com/en/article/all-her-life-chantelle-bushie-found-ways-to-disappear-until-one-day-she-never-came-back/ https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/charlene-candice-catholique https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/charnelle-jenny-masakeyash

    Cary Stayner the Yosemite Park Killer

    Cary Stayner grew up in an odd family. His mother despised affection, while his father gave it too freely. When his brother was seven he was abducted by a pedophile, returning home at 14 after escaping with another captured young boy. Cary was placed on the back burner compared to his brother. Cary began fantasizing about killing women by the time he was seven. Years later, his dreams became reality and Cary would go on to murder four women before being caught and brought to justice.

    Interview with Marlon Marrache

    Listen as Marlon sits down with me and discusses his career. IA cases and the importance of technology. He speaks about what makes a case memorable, how officers may need more training on what can be an infraction, and even  how being off duty doesn't mean they are held to a civilian standard.

    Junko Furuta

    Junko Furuta was a Japanese high school student. She worked part-time at a factory to pay for a graduation trip. Junko had already accepted a job, post-graduation. Unfortunately, she would never make it. Instead she was tricked and held captive, abused and tortured for over 40 days before her body could take no more. Dying before she even got to live. The perpetrators were four boys. Who, after killing her, finally realized they may get into trouble and so they discarded her in a barrel as trash near a construction site. Months later, after an arrest, one of the boys tells police where to find her body after he incorrectly believed one of his accomplices had already admitted to the crime.  Sources: https://medium.com/write-a-catalyst/they-tortured-her-for-44-days-the-disturbing-case-of-junko-furuta-57c3e5acf80d https://timenote.info/lv/person/view?id=4369916&l=en https://vocal.media/criminal/the-brutal-murder-of-junko-furuta-mbig03xv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt9soNvu0Mc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uNwWcavYm4
