The Real-Life Boogeyman: Albert Fish in 1920s New York

In 1928 New York City, ten-year-old Grace Budd walks out of her family’s Manhattan apartment with a soft-spoken “farmer” named Frank Howard and disappears, pulling her parents, detectives, and eventually a courtroom into one of the most disturbing homicide investigations in American history. The search for Grace exposes a pattern of missing children, a mild-mannered house painter named Hamilton “Albert” Fish, and a criminal profile that collides with questions of insanity, responsibility, and what justice looks like when the suspect looks like somebody’s grandfather instead of a monster.

In this episode, we walk slowly and carefully through Albert Fish’s life, from a brutal orphanage childhood to the day he knocks on the Budd family’s door, and we sit with the human moments around him: the parents who just want their kid to get a job, the kids playing in city hallways, and the detective who will not let this case go. It is a heavy story, but told like a late-night conversation with a friend, with room for context, a little observational humor where it fits, and a focus on the people rather than just the headlines.

The Beauty School Killer: What Really Happened in Wenatchee

In February 2010, 17-year-old Mackenzie Cowell disappeared from the Academy of Hair Design in Wenatchee, Washington, and four days later her body was found on the banks of the Columbia River. The homicide investigation that followed became the largest multi-agency case the region had seen in years, eventually drawing in the FBI and zeroing in on a 29-year-old beauty school classmate named Christopher Scott Wilson, a man with a Hannibal Lecter tattoo on his forearm and a history that made investigators stop and take a very long pause. What started as a missing person report in a small apple-farming town turned into a murder case full of fake informants, a high-profile defense attorney, DNA evidence on duct tape, and a conviction that still sparks debate online today. This is a story about a driven teenager with dinner plans, a man whose obsessions lived right out in the open, a community with a long memory about being burned by the law, and a plea deal that left everybody holding something that felt more like a question mark than an answer. He walked out of prison in December 2023. He still says he didn't do it.

Two Dead Fathers and a Demon: The 2008 Texas Exorcism Murder


The 2008 murder of 13-month-old Amora Bain Carson in Tatum, Texas remains one of the most disturbing capital cases in modern American history. Her mother, Jesseca Bain Carson, and the mother's boyfriend, Blaine Keith Milam, were both convicted of capital murder after a sheriff's investigation, forensic evidence including 24 human bite marks, and a partial jailhouse confession placed them at the center of what they later called an exorcism. Milam was sentenced to death; Carson received life without parole under the Texas law of parties. He was executed by lethal injection on September 25, 2025.

This one moves slowly through the parts most people don't know. There's a boy who was raised in a sickroom instead of a classroom, and a teenage girl who came into a small inheritance and lost herself somewhere inside it. There's a Ouija board, a pawned chainsaw, and 30 hours that ended with the smallest possible victim. There's the bite mark science, the IQ tests, and the question of who was steering whom. Werner Herzog couldn't stop thinking about it. Neither could the courts, for 17 years.

Killed by a Fake Cop: The Kaylee Sawyer Story

The 2016 murder of Kaylee Sawyer in Bend, Oregon shocked a town that thought it was untouchable. Edwin Enoc Lara, a Central Oregon Community College campus safety officer who had failed his police psychological evaluation, abducted and killed the 23-year-old student in his marked patrol vehicle, sparking a multi-state manhunt, a federal kidnapping case, and the legislation now known as Kaylee's Law.

This is the story of how one community college dressed its security guards up to look exactly like cops, then handed a man with documented warning signs the badge, the cage car, and the keys to the campus. Kaylee was walking home after a fight with her boyfriend. He pulled up wearing the full uniform, offered her a ride, and the back door locked behind her. What happened next exposed years of institutional failures nobody acted on. By the end, two states were involved, a survivor named Aundreah Maes was facing him down in court, and the entire state of Oregon was rewriting how campus security operates.

The Digital Leash: Serial Murder Under Government Supervision

In Orange County, California, between October 2013 and March 2014, registered sex offenders Steven Dean Gordon and Franc Cano abducted, raped, and murdered at least five women while actively wearing state and federally mandated GPS ankle monitors. The investigation, led by Anaheim homicide detective Julissa Trapp, eventually cracked the case when a victim's body surfaced on a recycling conveyor belt, triggering a digital dragnet that matched both men's trackers to the crime scenes.

The system that was supposed to make these men impossible to ignore was watching everything and doing nothing. Two convicted predators living together, hunting together, cutting off their ankle monitors more than once and literally walking away… and the response was basically a stern letter.

The Bleach Killer: The Kimberly Saenz Murders

In April 2008, licensed vocational nurse Kimberly Clark Saenz committed one of the most disturbing healthcare serial killings in American history at a DaVita dialysis clinic in Lufkin, Texas. The homicide investigation connected Saenz to five patient deaths and four aggravated assaults after eyewitnesses watched her draw concentrated household bleach into syringes and inject it into active venous lines. The FBI, CDC, and FDA toxicologists used a groundbreaking forensic biomarker called 3-chlorotyrosine to confirm the poisonings, leading to a capital murder conviction in 2012.

This case has every element that makes true crime so hard to look away from. A small East Texas town. A clinic full of vulnerable patients who trusted the woman in scrubs standing over them. A nurse with a fractured past, a collapsing marriage, and an addiction nobody at work seemed to notice. And two patients sitting in dialysis chairs who looked across the room, realized what was happening, and decided to do something about it before the woman in the white coat got to them next.

Nobody Would Miss Them: The Craigslist Murders of Richard Beasley

In 2011, Richard Beasley of Akron, Ohio was convicted in the homicide investigation surrounding the murders of Ralph Geiger, 56, David Pauley, 51, and Timothy Kern, 47 — three men lured to a remote Noble County location through a fraudulent Craigslist job posting, then shot and buried in shallow graves. A fourth victim, Scott Davis, 49, survived a gunshot wound and escaped through the Ohio woods after dark, triggering a digital forensics investigation that ultimately put Beasley on death row.

Here's what makes this one different: Richard Beasley was not a ghost. He was the large, white-bearded man everyone in Akron called Preacher Rich. He spent years sitting across from vulnerable people in jail visiting rooms and courtroom hallways, making himself indispensable to them, so he could eventually burn it all down when the moment was right. These three men were chosen. Beasley sat across from them in restaurant booths and ran actual interviews, screening for whoever had the fewest people who would notice if they vanished. This is a story about economic desperation, a career con man's patience, and a survivor named Scott Davis who refused to die alone in the dark.

FBI Most Wanted to Motivational Speaker to Murderer: Edward Wayne Edwards

Edward Wayne Edwards, born Charles Wayne Murray, was an armed robber who landed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list in 1961 before reinventing himself as a celebrated motivational speaker on prison reform, appearing on national television game shows and lecturing at police academies across the country. Investigators eventually linked him through DNA evidence to at least five confirmed homicides spanning from 1977 to 1996 in Ohio and Wisconsin, including the cold case murders of teenage sweethearts Timothy Hack and Kelly Drew.

The man who wrote a book about his own redemption was actively killing people while promoting it. He fooled federal law enforcement, national television audiences, and the entire American corrections system for decades. The person who finally exposed him was his own daughter, who had spent eighteen months matching her childhood memories against cold case databases. This is the story of Edward Wayne Edwards, and it goes places you will not see coming.

The Alexandria Assassin: The Strange Descent of Charles Severance

In December 2003, Nancy Dunning, wife of Alexandria, Virginia Sheriff James Dunning, was shot and killed after answering a knock at her front door, launching a cold case homicide investigation that would remain unsolved for over a decade. Ballistics, eyewitness testimony, and forensic evidence eventually linked the murder to Charles Stanard Severance, a Virginia mechanical engineer and failed political candidate who was also convicted of murdering transportation planner Ronald Kirby in November 2013 and music teacher Ruthanne Lodato in February 2014, earning multiple capital murder convictions and consecutive life sentences.

Charles Severance was a Navy Admiral's son with a University of Virginia engineering degree who somewhere between a custody ruling and a decade of solitary drift rewrote his entire reality and started knocking on doors with a .22. He had a list, a manifesto, and a philosophy he called wisdom. Three people in one of America's most outwardly stable cities answered their doors on ordinary afternoons and never walked away from them. This is that story, and it is stranger than you are expecting it to be.

Fuzzy Slipper on the Gas Pedal: The Mackenzie Shirilla Murder Case

On July 31, 2022, in Strongsville, Ohio, 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla drove a 2018 Toyota Camry into a brick wall at nearly 100 miles per hour, killing her 20-year-old boyfriend Dominic Russo and their 19-year-old friend Davion Flanagan. Black box telemetry, GPS data pulled from a teen location-sharing app, and thousands of recovered text messages combined to transform what looked like a catastrophic accident into one of the most closely watched vehicular homicide trials in Ohio history, ending in a conviction on all 12 felony counts.

Dominic had been trying to leave this relationship for years. Davion was just catching a ride home from a party. Somewhere between a curated TikTok persona, a four-year relationship held together by threats, and a dead-end industrial road at 5:30 in the morning, two young men ran out of time.
