CK's killing it

In this episode we go back to the early 1800's in Great Britain and discuss some history and a murder that seems to have been solved by a dream. Yeah, it sounds suspicious to me as well.

Join us as we go back and discuss the red barn dream murder.

Speak soon, killers.

Good time of day to you. In this episode we cover the case of the St Valentine's day massacre, when Al Capone (it is thought) took out 7 men in one day, the l'il saucepot. We also cover some mafia history, more so the parts involving the participants of this brutal slaying.

Enjoy the carnage and we'll see you soon, killers.

In this episode we cover the 1927 Bath school disaster. This case is shorter but it is brutal, It involves the deaths of children and animals, if this is not for you then I would give this particular episode a pass.

What myself and Suzanne do not want to do is forget those involved. We have a link that will take you to the names of those who died.

Thank you,

Suzanne and CK

Welcome to episode 2 of CK's killing it: True crime in history. In this case, we look at the tragic and suspicious kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr, also known as Eaglet.

Did Bruno Hauptmann, the man who was executed for the crime, actually die an innocent man? Did Charles Lindbergh Sr, flying ace and hero have more to do with it than was said and did his privilege help his case? Take a listen and decide for yourselves and let us know what you think.

Good day to you all, welcome to the first official episode of CK's killing it: true crime in history.

As this is being released on Halloween we figured it would be sensible to bring you a callous murder that was committed on this most fun of nights and that is the 1957 murder of Peter Fabiano.

Join me as I take you back to yesteryear, bring you some history, paint the scene and tell you about the jealousy and lies that ended in death.

See you soon, killers.

the Floradora girls were, basically, the first popular girl group. Very early 1900's they wowed London and then America with their bare ankles and mid calves, the scandal of it all. One of these girls, Nan Patterson, had maybe a bit more scandal than some.
