The Murder Factory: A True Crime Tale of Arsenic and Greed


In this episode, we dive headfirst into the chilling tale of Amy Archer-Gilligan, Connecticut’s pint-sized purveyor of arsenic and faux philanthropy. She didn’t just run a nursing home; she ran what the Hartford Courant dubbed “The Murder Factory.” Residents checked in with their wallets, and many checked out in caskets—after signing over every last dime to Amy.

Join us as we unpack the audacious schemes, the suspiciously high body count, and one determined sister’s pursuit of justice.

George Russell Jr.: The Class Clown Who Became a Serial Killer

In 1958 Florida, George Russell Jr. seemed destined for an ordinary life—or at least as ordinary as it could be with his mother, Joyce, leaving him behind to start college. Fast-forward, and George’s life takes more turns than a soap opera on fast-forward. His charm and humor kept people entertained, but underneath the jokes was a kid desperate for attention. In high school, he was the class clown; in his twenties, a couch-hopping charmer with friends all over Bellevue’s nightclubs. But George’s need for connection took a dark, disturbing twist that no one could see coming. He was the “helpful” guy at the police station by day, a nightclub prowler by night, and a chilling killer lurking in the shadows. This episode dives into the life of George Russell Jr.—the boy who wanted to be loved, the man who terrified a community, and the murderer who thought he could charm his way out of anything.

Silent Night, Sinister Night: The Mystery of Joanna Yeates


Welcome to Clifton, Bristol—a neighborhood with postcard-perfect streets, historic homes, and, in 2010, a mystery darker than a holiday fruitcake. Joanna Yeates, a bright and beloved young landscape architect, had just settled into a new flat with her boyfriend. Life was supposed to be sweet, filled with cider, Christmas lights, and maybe even some homemade mince pies. But in a twist that gripped the whole country, Joanna vanished just days before Christmas, sparking one of Britain’s most intense manhunts.

Enter Christopher Jefferies, her quirky landlord with an eccentric reputation and a penchant for solitude. His arrest by police didn’t just raise eyebrows; it opened a floodgate of public suspicion and media frenzy that practically convicted him on sight. But was this mild-mannered ex-teacher really the monster lurking upstairs? Or was there something darker and even closer to home?

In this episode, we dive into the chilling truth behind Joanna’s case and how it twisted the lives of everyone involved. We’ll follow the trail of evidence, uncover Vincent Tabak’s hidden life, and see how a quiet street in Clifton became a cautionary tale of misplaced judgment and unspeakable secrets.

Grab your warmest blanket and settle in—this isn’t just a whodunit, it’s a reminder of how quickly the ordinary can turn sinister.

A Quiet Town’s Darkest Day: The Disappearance of Molly Bish

In the early summer of 2000, sixteen-year-old Molly Bish took her lifeguard post at Comins Pond in Warren, Massachusetts, expecting a day of sunscreen and lifeguard duty. What followed instead was a nightmare. Hours later, she was gone—her belongings eerily untouched, as if she’d simply vanished into thin air. Her mother, haunted by a suspicious figure she’d seen days earlier, was left with only questions. What happened to Molly in those brief, mysterious moments at the pond? Over two decades, detectives uncovered chilling connections, unexpected suspects, and dead ends that would lead her family down a dark, twisted road for justice. This episode dives into Molly’s life, her disappearance, and the haunting evidence that still leaves us wondering: who took Molly, and why?

Billy the Kid Unmasked: The Real Story Behind the Wild West's Most Notorious Outlaw

In this episode of 10 Minute Murder, we're turning our spotlight to Billy the Kid, the legend who was part gunslinger, part escape artist, and 100% outlaw. From the crowded tenements of New York to the dusty streets of Lincoln County, Billy's story is a whirlwind of tragedy, survival, and gutsy jailbreaks that read like a wild west fever dream. But who was Henry McCarty before he picked up a revolver, and what drove him to become the infamous Billy the Kid? Tune in as we peel back the layers of history to reveal a kid on the run, a hero to some, a nightmare to others, and the many shades in between. We'll cover shootouts, narrow escapes, and how Billy carved out a place for himself in American folklore—armed with nothing more than a few good friends and a whole lot of nerve.

The story today is getting really apocalyptic. We're diving into the mind-boggling, brain-bending saga of Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell, a duo that started with doomsday prophecies and ended in tragic deaths. Lori, a devout mother who would’ve been more at home leading a PTA bake sale, suddenly found herself elbow-deep in cultish chaos after discovering Chad’s post-apocalyptic fanfiction—er, “prophecies.” With kids missing, spouses suspiciously dropping like flies, and a trail of deception more twisted than a backwoods road, this is a true crime story that makes you wonder if the end times aren’t so far off after all. Spoiler alert: The bad guys aren’t great at hiding bodies.

Lizzie Borden: America's most infamous ax-wielding boogeyman or an innocent woman caught in a sinister web of suspicion? In this episode of 10 Minute Murder, we slice into the notorious 1892 double homicide of Andrew and Abby Borden, a case that shocked the town of Fall River and left everyone wondering who really swung the ax.

We dig deep into the Borden family's fractured relationships, peculiar living arrangements, and suspicious poisoning attempts that stirred the cauldron of public opinion. It's a tale of murder, mystery, and mutton stew gone bad—served with a side of circumstantial evidence and a courtroom drama worthy of Broadway.

The Witch Hunt That Broke Salem: The Final Chapter of the Trials


In part two of our journey through the Salem witch trials, we find ourselves face-to-face with one of the most brutal and heartbreaking moments of this dark chapter: the torture and death of 81-year-old Giles Corey. This well-liked yet rough-around-the-edges settler had seen his fair share of trouble in Salem, but nothing could prepare him—or us—for the cruelty he would endure in the name of "justice." Accused of witchcraft, just months after his wife Martha was charged, Giles chose an unusual and dangerous form of protest: silence.

Refusing to enter a plea, Giles unwittingly sealed his own fate, leading to one of the most infamous moments in the trials—his slow, agonizing death under a pile of stones. Meanwhile, Salem’s paranoia reached fever pitch as accusations spread like wildfire, and anyone from indentured servants to prominent community members became targets. All the while, Reverend Samuel Parris remained firmly in control of the chaos, with his daughter Betty and niece Abigail at the center of it all. But was this mass hysteria the result of spiritual fears—or something even more insidious?

In this episode of 10 Minute Murder, we peel back the layers of political intrigue, personal vendettas, and the chilling reality of a town at war with itself. This is the story of how fear can crush a community—literally.
