TW/CW: Infanticide, SUI attempt, drug use

Amelia Dyer found herself in a precarious financial position, as did many Victorian women. As a nurse, she was given the inside scoop on something called baby farming. She took in the infants of unwed mothers to supposedly provide them care as their mothers couldn't. Instead, she killed every baby that came into her care. Amelia Dyer just may be the world's most prolific serial killer in all of history.

TW/CW: Health Anxiety, DV, SUI
A life full of lies, cheating, violent fantasies and murderous intent, Michael Swango had trouble all through medical school. Seemingly unable to control his violent urges, Swango poisoned his colleagues. That should have stopped him, but that was only the beginning that would span two continents.

We start today's episode with a little spit ballin' about time travel and then we discuss the machine that Tesla built (and Edison tried to copy because of course) that could supposedly channel the voices of the dead! Did it work? Maybe!

TW/CW: Child death, mention (brief) of r*pe

From an early age, Beverly adored attention. She craved it and would do anything to get it. She faked illnesses and injuries. She was the girl who cried wolf. But one day that just wasn't enough. Beverly graduated nursing school and was assigned to the fourth ward of the local hospital. The children's ward. There, she would inflict great harm and death on the babies and children under her care. All for the attention she so desperately craved.

TW/CW: elder abuse, murder, medical stuff, suic*de, ageism

Dr. Shipman had a practice in the small town of Hyde in the UK where he saw mostly elderly patients. To friends and family, Dr. Shipman was a remarkably kind and gentle man. But to his patients? He was death incarnate. In just a short five years, he killed over 200 elderly patients in this one small town making him one of the most prolific serial killers in modern history. Only hubris and greed got him found out, but there were signs all along...

Were there really, in the middle of nowhere Georgia, stone monuments that laid out sensible rules for a society that would emerge after some catastrophic disaster? Were they to pave the way to Utopia? Short answer: LOL no. The Georgia Guidestones have been the...corner...stone of many conspiracy theories. Who was the man behind them? Why were they built? And who blew them up in 2022?

APOLOGIES for the late upload. We had some ridiculous tech issues ❤️

TW/CW: Gore, dismemberment, cannibalism, domestic violence, drug abuse

In Bradford in the UK, women were going missing without a trace. That is until CCTV at an apartment complex captured the fate of one of these women, revealing the identity of a depraved killer. Investigators would be horrified by what they would discover. Join us as we discuss the case of Stephen Griffiths, the Crossbow Cannibal.

Lillian was still ill as of last night so we chose this Patreon episode as it includes CCTV footage as part of the investigation. Thank you all for being patient and for the well wishes. Epilepsy sucks sometimes!

In a strange twist of fate, Dr. Sneha Philip went missing in New York City on September 10th, 2001. Her family insists she died trying to save people at the World Trade Center. Her name is even on the memorial there. But there is no evidence or proof of life from Sneha after 7pm on the 10th. What happened to Sneha? Did she meet with foul play? Did it have anything to do with the double life she was leading? Or did she really die in the terror attacks?

No new Merris Monday today, unfortunately. Lillian, due to stress and heat, had a seizure on Sunday and was too unwell to record. Apologies! We will be back to our regular upload schedule on Wednesday, until then, please enjoy this fan favorite!

THIS EPISODE IS NSFW!

Benny Franks is known for a lot of things, but not really for his more salacious interests, yet he was likely in a s*x cult and wrote a LOT about his love of older women. It's largely due to Ben's charisma and humor that America won the war against the British but it was also his allyship of gay men that was essential in American's military victory. Tune in as we delve into the seedier side of this founding father!

TW/CW: SA, Brief mention of Child SA, Murder, Description of attack

Zara had just completed her university work to become a lawyer and was starting a two year 'internship' to finish her qualifications. The 35 year old was on top of the world with a bright future ahead of her. She spent the evening out with a friend at a pub, enjoying the conversation and night. She had no idea that Jordan McSweeney, career criminal, was prowling the streets, looking for a victim. McSweeney shouldn't have been out of prison, but due to some paperwork errors, he was. CCTV would capture the horror of what happened that night.
