Betty Lou Beets had a rough childhood, married young, and suffered physical abuse from a series of husbands. Husband number 5, Doyle Barker, seemingly vanished.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the facts around Texas Black Widow killer Betty Lou Beets. Was she acting in self-defense as she would later claim or did she murder for money? Betty Lou would gain supporters who felt she did not deserve to face the death penalty.

Arohn Kee is known as the “East Harlem Rapist.” Over eight years, he murdered three teen girls and raped four more teens in New York City. One detective called him “every young lady’s worst nightmare.” 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the life and crimes of Arohn Kee. This man was so despicable that we were often disgusted while talking about him. His crimes were horrible, but his callous nature towards his victims also stands out. He once told a victim that she should be happy about what was happening because he was such a good-looking guy.

In the fall of 2019, Adam Williams left Utah to escape prosecution for multiple felonies. He and his wife, Amanda Noverr, planned to flee the country and start a new life in Mexico, but they needed to steal a vehicle first. They targeted James and Michelle Butler, a married couple traveling the country in their RV and happened to be at the same campsite. 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Amanda Noverr and Adam Williams. Both had criminal records, but Williams's charges were much more serious.

Was she involved willingly or in a toxic relationship that she was too scared to exit?

Larry and Danny Ranes were serial killer brothers who primarily targeted victims near Kalamazoo, Michigan. Larry and Danny were suspected of committing multiple murders. Danny enlisted the help of a teenage accomplice named Brent Koster in some of his crimes

Join Mike and Gibby for this second and last episode on Larry and Danny Ranes. What makes the Ranes brothers unique is that they killed victims independently. This is thought to be the only known instance in US history where one family produced two serial killers at separate times in unrelated incidents. We cover the rest of the investigation, the trials of Danny and Brent Koster, and the headlines the brothers made in later years.
