Dive into the darkest corners of American history as we unpack the chilling tale of Belle Gunness, one of the nation's first and most prolific female serial killers. Over drinks and unfiltered conversation, we trace the bloody path of this Norwegian immigrant who transformed from farm girl to calculated murderer in early 1900s Indiana.

The story unfolds like a macabre fairy tale – Belle arrives in America with dreams of wealth, only to discover that marriage and honest work won't satisfy her appetite for money and power. What follows is a masterclass in manipulation as Belle orchestrates insurance scams, suspicious deaths, and ultimately creates a deadly trap for lonely men seeking companionship.

This raw, unedited recap captures our genuine reactions to each twist in Belle's story while saving some revelations for listeners who want to experience our full episode. We also touch on a current case involving child abuse that reminds us how vulnerable populations continue to fall through society's safety nets.

Listen now for a haunting journey through one of America's most fascinating true crime stories, told with the perfect balance of historical detail, dark humor, and genuine human connection. Then join us Friday for our next two-part case that promises even more shocking revelations.

Imagine a seemingly ordinary Norwegian immigrant woman running a pig farm in early 1900s Indiana—except her farm yielded far more than just pork. Belle Gunness, perhaps America's most prolific female serial killer, orchestrated a reign of terror that claimed at least 30 victims and revolutionized how we think about murder and gender.

The horrific discovery came after a suspicious fire in 1908 revealed not only the bodies of Belle's three children but also prompted a search that unearthed dismembered remains throughout the property. What elevates this case beyond mere historical footnote is the strong possibility that Belle escaped justice by staging her own death—a headless female body found in the fire's aftermath was significantly smaller than Belle's substantial frame.

 The story of Belle Gunness forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about evil and reminds us that monsters have always walked among us—sometimes hiding behind the facade of a simple pig farmer.

After completing our two-part series on the Chris Watts family annihilation case, we needed to decompress. With drinks in hand (perhaps a few too many for Jesse), we processed our thoughts on this heartbreaking tragedy in real-time, offering a glimpse into how covering these stories affects us personally.

What makes this conversation unique is its authenticity. There's no script, no editing – just two people trying to make sense of a senseless tragedy while balancing respect for the victims with honest analysis. Jesse offers perspective as someone hearing many details for the first time, while Lindsay shares insights from her deeper research into the case.

For those who've followed our coverage of the Watts case, this companion video adds another dimension to understanding both the case and our approach to true crime storytelling. And for those just discovering us, it's a candid introduction to how we tackle these challenging subjects with both empathy and honesty.

A perfect family on Facebook, a nightmare behind closed doors. The Chris Watts case stands as one of the most disturbing examples of familicide in recent memory, leaving even seasoned investigators traumatized by what they discovered in those Colorado oil fields.

We explore how Shanann Watts meticulously curated their family's social media presence while their marriage deteriorated behind the scenes. Chris, the perpetually passive partner who avoided conflict at all costs, never voiced his frustrations until they exploded in violence. When he met coworker Nikki Kessinger, he saw an escape route and made the unthinkable choice to eliminate his family rather than face the messy reality of divorce, shared custody, and financial obligations.

The investigation unfolded rapidly thanks to Shanann's concerned friend Nicole Atkinson, who immediately recognized something was wrong when Shanann missed a doctor's appointment. Within days, investigators uncovered the horrific truth of what happened to Shanann and their daughters, Bella (4) and Celeste (3). Perhaps most chilling are the details that emerged later—how little Bella fought for her life and asked her father if he was going to do to her what he had done to her sister.

This episode serves as a stark reminder about the crucial importance of communication in relationships and recognizing warning signs before they escalate. The true tragedy is that all of this heartbreak could have been prevented if either partner had addressed their issues honestly years earlier. Listen now for our complete analysis of this devastating case.

What transforms a quiet, shy mechanic into someone unrecognizable? Our deep dive into the Chris Watts case begins long before the headlines that shocked the nation.

Born in North Carolina, Chris Watts was the quintessential introvert—mechanically gifted but socially reserved. His world collided with Shanann Rusek's when a Facebook connection sparked an unlikely romance. Despite her initial disinterest, one tender moment during a lupus flare-up convinced Shanann she'd found her perfect partner. What followed was a whirlwind romance, marriage, and the creation of a picture-perfect family in suburban Colorado.

The stark contrast between their public image and private reality grew as Shanann became increasingly invested in her Thrive MLM business, documenting every aspect of their lives online despite Chris's discomfort with the attention. Family tensions, medical challenges with both children, and the strain of living beyond their means created fractures in their relationship that would eventually prove catastrophic.

As we conclude part one with the couple inexplicably planning for a third child despite their unstable situation, and a new woman named Nikki Kessinger appearing in Chris's professional life, the foundation has been laid for the shocking events to come. Don't miss part two this Friday, where we'll reveal how this pressure cooker of circumstances ultimately exploded with devastating consequences.

Aaron Goodwin from Ghost Adventures faced an unimaginable betrayal when his wife Victoria conspired with a convicted murderer against him. We dive deep into this shocking case that connects to Grant Amato, the subject of the Netflix documentary "Control Alt Desire," who murdered his entire family over his obsession with a cam girl named Sylvie.

The emotional devastation Aaron experienced comes through clearly in court footage where he breaks down describing how it feels to know someone you loved was plotting your death. We watch him continue filming Ghost Adventures episodes while completely unaware of the threat against his life. Our hearts truly go out to Aaron – nobody should ever have to endure such betrayal from someone they trusted completely.

We explore the critical distinction between having an interest in true crime content versus developing romantic feelings for actual murderers. These exist on completely different spectrums, with the latter potentially indicating serious mental health concerns. As Lindsay points out, "Having a fascination with true crime and being romantically involved with somebody that has actually murdered somebody are two different things."

We're also excited to announce our upcoming two-part deep dive into the Chris Watts case! Part one releases today with part two coming Friday. Whether you're familiar with this infamous case or hearing about it for the first time, you won't want to miss Jesse's genuine reactions as Lindsay guides him through this disturbing story.

The Jodi Arias murder case stands as a chilling reminder of how dangerous obsession can become when mixed with manipulation and rejection. What drives a seemingly ordinary woman to commit such a brutal act of violence? And why did Travis Alexander keep pulling her back into his life despite recognizing the warning signs?

Travis Alexander grew up in difficult circumstances – one of eight children with parents struggling with addiction – before finding stability through his Mormon grandmother and faith. Jodi Arias, from a stable middle-class background, became completely infatuated with Travis after meeting him, even converting to Mormonism to strengthen their connection. Their relationship quickly developed into a complex web of religious contradiction, sexual exploration, and unhealthy attachment patterns.

Perhaps most importantly, this case serves as a stark warning about toxic relationships. Travis recognized Jodi's instability but continued to maintain contact for physical intimacy. Jodi's obsession grew to the point where she couldn't accept Travis moving on with another woman. The hosts emphasize the critical lesson: never pursue or maintain relationships with someone showing signs of dangerous instability, regardless of other benefits or attractions.
