Death X Southwest: True Crime

Episode 81: When the Party Ends, the Horror Begins


Listen Later

Tonight's episode kicks off with a cosmic touch, thanks to a quick heads-up from our very own Human GPS. I'll be sharing a little snippet about the comet lighting up the sky tonight—just a short detour before we dive into this week's story. Now, I know Michigan isn't exactly the Southwest, but Halloween is closing in, and I couldn't resist bringing you a truly bone-chilling case from the Midwest that fits the spooky season just perfectly.

We’re heading to a Halloween party in 2014 where Chelsea Bruck, a fun-loving 22-year-old, donned a homemade Poison Ivy costume for a night of dancing, drinking, and celebrating with friends. But as the festivities drew to a close, Chelsea disappeared into the night, never to be seen again…

In this episode, I'll walk you through the haunting details of Chelsea’s final moments, the devastating impact on her family and the local community, and the investigation that ultimately uncovered the identity of her killer. This is a story that reminds us: sometimes, the real horror begins when the party ends.

So, grab your cocktail and settle in. It’s time for another night of crime, Halloween haunts, and just a touch of the macabre here on Death X Southwest.

HAPPY OCTOBER🎃
