  • Donna Adelson, Lori Vallow, Sarah Boone: Convicted K*llers Who Once Appeared on Game Shows

    Game show killers may sound unbelievable, but several convicted criminals once appeared on television game shows long before their names became tied to shocking murder cases. In this episode of the STS Podcast, we explore the disturbing connection between game show killers and high-profile true crime news, focusing on Donna Adelson, Lori Vallow, and Sarah Boone.

Through analysis and discussion, the STS Podcast explores the psychology, media coverage, and public fascination surrounding these game show killers, while connecting the stories to broader themes in survivor stories, true crime news, and even the haunting persistence of cold cases and unresolved investigations.
