    GUILTY CREATURES

    GUILTY CREATURES

    December 16, 2000, Denise William's husband Mike disappeared while duck hunting on Lake Seminole. After no body was found, everyone assumed that Mike had drowned in a tragic accident, his body eaten by alligators. It took another twelve years for the truth to come out—and when it did, it was unimaginable. Now, the full, shocking story is revealed by Mikita Brottman, acclaimed true crime writer. Through tenacious research and clear-eyed prose, she probes the psychology of a couple who killed and explores how it feels to live for eighteen years with murder on the soul.

    LOST HILLS-Dana Goodyear

    Driven by conversations with Richardson’s grieving friends and family and undeterred by the scant clues that have been picked through by dozens of previous investigations, LOST HILLS: Dark Canyon probes where others have not, including Richardson’s never-before-seen personal journals, new eyewitness interviews, and new potential forensic evidence. In 12 gripping episodes, Goodyear painstakingly builds a case that Mitrice’s death involved foul play—and she identifies a potential suspect. LOST HILLS: Dark Canyon-Season 4-Dana Goodyear.

    WHEN A KILLER CALLS-John Douglas

    WHEN A KILLER CALLS-John Douglas

    Legendary FBI Criminal Profiler and best-selling author joins me to discuss his book When A Killer Calls, one of the most haunting investigations of Douglas’s storied career, this case details how the eerily accurate profile he created—alongside his carefully crafted and stage-managed manipulation of the killer’s psychology—combined with dedicated police work and cutting-edge forensic science to end a reign of criminal terror. As Shari’s family took incredible personal risks to lure her killer from the shadows, Douglas and the FBI pushed criminal profiling to its limits, culminating in one of his most dramatic and effective confrontations with a sadistic and remorseless killer.

    THE WITCH OF NEW YORK-Alex Hortis

    THE WITCH OF NEW YORK-Alex Hortis

    Before the sensational cases of Amanda Knox and Casey Anthony—before even Lizzie Borden—there was Polly Bodine, the first American woman put on trial for capital murder in America’s debut media circus.
    The Witch of New York is the first narrative history about the dueling trial lawyers, ruthless newsmen, and shameless hucksters who turned the Polly Bodine case into America’s formative tabloid trial. An origin story of how America became addicted to sensationalized reporting of criminal trials, The Witch of New York vividly reconstructs an epic mystery from Old New York—and uses the Bodine case to challenge our system of tabloid justice of today. THE WITCH OF NEW YORK-The Trials of Polly Bodine and the Cursed Birth of Tabloid Justice-Alex Hortis

Annoyingly amateur

This is a great premise, but the sound is so terrible, you can't get into the content. you have to skip half of the episodes because the sound quality is so bad.
