This case takes us to New Mexico, where a serial killer preyed on vulnerable women in the early 2000’s. Rumors percolated around town, with gruesome details of beheadings, and the dumping of bodies in an undeveloped area in Albuquerque. This story begins with the discovery of a femur bone, and that would only be a prelude to what would be Albuquerque’s Crime of the Century. Join me, as I walk you through the case of the West Mesa Bone Collector.

Darrell Keith Rich, known as “The Hilltop Rapist,” was born on February 14, 1955. Although he was born on Valentine’s Day, this would be no indication of who Rich would become as an adult. This cold-blooded Serial Killer got his name by the manner in which he captured most of his victims.

“The Writing Was on the Wall”丨MURDERISH Ep. 160

Jami gives listeners a solid Cliffs Notes version of the docuseries, and shares her own opinions on the horrific case that centers around high school football star Greg Kelley. Greg’s case reminds us that things aren’t always as they seem, and a conviction doesn’t always mean true justice was served.

Outcry: “NOT-so-Good Ol’ Boys Club” | Serial Streamers TV Club

In December of 1992, Justin Hopper, was making plans to move and get a fresh start. He was a high school senior at the time when he found himself in a dangerous situation. Justin had been selling drugs, and his instincts told him he needed to get out of that lifestyle before something bad happened. Justin was much more than a drug dealer, though. He was a kind-hearted, caring guy with a sentimental side. He was a football player who maintained good grades in school. Justin shared his plans to escape the lifestyle he was living with his close friend, Suzi. Sadly, Justin had no idea that he only had a few more weeks to live after sharing his plans with Suzi. Justin would never get the fresh start he desired because two gun-loving classmates had other plans for him.

Best of MURDERISH: E8 "Justin Hopper Murder"

When two people meet, it’s exciting when there’s a mutual, instant affection for one another. It doesn’t always happen but when it does, it’s special. On rare occasions, however, a seemingly special human connection can actually be a bad thing, and in even more rare instances, it can lead to deadly consequences. The case we’re examining in this episode begs the question …would someone have died if two people had not had the opportunity to meet?

A 1954 murder case out of New Zealand shocked the world due, in part, to the highly unlikely perpetrators. Honora Parker was savagely murdered on June 22, 1954. Though her murder case was easily solved, a striking revelation about the case didn’t fully come to light until 40 years later.
