Darkest Corners Podcast

Welcome back! Episode 40 means that it’s time for another theme. This week, we chose nurses who kill and it is a doozy. The story starts at around 7:30 for those of you who don’t like the chatter and want to miss out on us yelling Casarndy (our celebrity couple name) at each other. Caity brings us the story of Jolly Jane Toppan, a nurse who really hated old people. Sandy tells a tale from right here in San Antonio. Genene Jones was a nurse who preyed on the young and killed or injured at least 47 children. Sandy will be taking a small break from the pod, so tune in next week to hear Sarah tell a story!

Welcome to episode 39! Today we have an interesting mix of both true crime and weird stuff! Sandy kicks it off with the tragic murder of Laci Peterson and her unborn son, Conner. Caity tells us about D.B. Cooper and how he got away with hijacking a plane and led the FBI on one of their longest, and still unsolved, cases. Next week is a themed episode and the girls are always open to suggestions. Send them over to [email protected].

Do you want to hear some really awful stories? Then you’re in the right place! Episode 38 is full of sad, awful things. Sandy tells us about Abraham Shakespeare, a man who won the lottery and was murdered for his riches. Caity talks about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, a British toddler who was on vacation with her family when she vanished from their unlocked apartment as her parents and their friends enjoyed tapas 300 feet away. What do you want to hear about next? Let us know at [email protected].

In episode 37, things get crazy. Caity’s mom, Miss Suzy, was in town and was tricked into being on the show for an impromptu interview (which is also why the sound is all kinds of different levels). Miss Suzy has personal experiences with Caity’s topic: ghost lights. She spent part of her youth living on a ranch near the Marfa Mystery Lights! What are they? Who knows! Sandy tells us about the bystander effect and the murder of Kitty Genovese that inspired both the research into it and our emergency operating system. You’ll also hear Miss Suzy creating lovely patio garden in the background, Caity trying to sound out weird words, and Sandy’s tale of baby feet at Target. What more could you want?

This week, ya girls picked the theme “killers who kept the bodies or body parts” and then almost instantly regretted that decision. Sandy talks about Charles Albright and his obsession with ojos and then she leaves to attend to the good boy Dante. Caity tells us about John Christie, a man with too much room under his floorboards. Sarah is mostly just horrified. We’ll be taking a week off, so please send us an email at [email protected] and tell us what you want to hear about in episode 37!

To celebrate hitting 7,000 downloads (and because this was too good not to share) here is a snippet from our first Patreon series! Enjoy this super horrifying tale from Georgia and maybe get rid of those old Cabbage Patch dolls....

Curses and murders and shoutouts, oh my! In episode 35, Caity covers the curse of the Hope Diamond and the many people it has brought poverty, tragedy, and possibly even death to (and Sandy falls asleep). Sandy covers the murder/suicide case of Chris Benoit. Sarah gives some shoutouts and offers bribery for nice emails/reviews. What more could you want?

Oh, hello there! Today, we bring you an episode about some crazy murders. Sarah comes back to the podcast with stories about boyfriends, with weird accents that she 100% made up, shopping for Valentine’s Day. Sandy takes us way back to 1919 with the murder of Bella Wright and a mysterious man on a green bike. Caity tells us about the tragic murder of young mother Janet Abaroa and the contact lenses that solved her cold case.

After a small hiatus due to sickness, most of the Darkest Corners Podcast team is back to tell you horrible stories that will make you sad. Sandy tells us about an Earth Day cofounder, Ira Einhorn, and his victim, Holly Maddux. Caity delves into the strange deaths of Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremer on a mountain side in Panama. Stay healthy, friends!

Sarah is back! Also, we talk about murders. Well, one murder and one possible murder. Caity also learns why her mom never liked Christopher Walken. We tackle a case of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy that lead to Gypsy Rose Blanchard planning her mother’s murder. Sandy discusses the still open case of Natalie Wood and her strange death by drowning, possibly at the hands of someone she loved. We also chat about New Year’s resolutions, Nugget’s baby, and then get really quiet at the end because we were sad. Enjoy!
