Daniel Owen Conahan Jr. — the "Hog Trail Killer." Or, as JT's dad put it: Florida's Dahmer. He's scheduled to be executed September 10th and here's why.

Between 1993 and 1996, bodies started turning up in the woods of Charlotte County, Florida — transients, hitchhikers, and gay men lured deep into remote pine and palmetto with the promise of a paid photo shoot, then tied to a tree and strangled. With Conahan's execution date approaching, Madison walks JT (who, as always, knows nothing going in) through the whole case: the victims who took decades to name, the dog named Hollywood who kept bringing bones home, the Fort Myers 8, the two men who got away and weren't believed, and the 1999 trial that put Conahan on death row for the murder of 21-year-old Richard Allen Montgomery.

We're back. Season two of From One To Wicked opens on a case with a clock running on it.

On March 3, 1985, 54-year-old Catherine Jenkins, a grandmother, a maid, the woman in her small Tennessee town who'd drive you to your doctor's appointment - was left in charge of the Seabon Motel in Kingston Springs for one afternoon. She was found hours later in room 21, robbed, raped, and stabbed to death, with a $20 bill tucked under the band of her watch.

Anthony Darrell Hines had checked into room 9 that morning. Days earlier, he'd told his girlfriend's mother why he carried a hunting knife under his shirt: "I never go anywhere naked. I always have my blade." By that afternoon he was on the interstate in Catherine's Volvo with dried blood on his shirt and a story that changed every time he told it.

Madison walks JT through the stab marks in the motel wall, the confession Hines offered only if the state would guarantee him execution — then retracted when they said yes — and the affair-shaped red herring that had the Sixth Circuit rethinking the whole case 35 years later.

Anthony Hines is scheduled to be executed Thursday, August 13, 2026. Catherine's daughter Melissa has spent her entire adult life waiting for it.

Welcome back to the Season 2 Premiere of From One To Wicked! After an intense first season, Madison and JT are diving straight back into the Houston bayou deaths mystery.

In this episode, we break down the grim statistics from 2024 to 2026. With over 200 bodies recovered from Houston’s bayous since 2017 and a massive cluster of discoveries in late 2025 and early 2026.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How modern killers adapt to a world of DNA and surveillance.

• The Victims: Remembering Michaela Miller and Jade McKissick, and why the "unhoused" narrative from officials doesn't always add up.

• The Geography of Death: Why Buffalo Bayou might be the ultimate "washing machine" for evidence.

• Official Stance vs. Public Fear: Is the Houston PD providing answers, or just gaslighting a worried community?

If you haven't seen the finale episode of Season 1, we highly recommend starting there!

On this episode of From One to Wicked, we dive into the life and crimes of Randy Kraft—aka the Scorecard Killer, the Southern California Strangler, and one of the so-called Freeway Killers. Between 1972–1983, Kraft targeted young men (many of them U.S. Marines) across California, Oregon, and Michigan, with a confirmed count in the teens and suspicions that his victims may number far higher.

We trace Kraft’s path from an apparently bright, well-liked kid in Long Beach—churchgoing family, accelerated classes, saxophone and tennis—to his years at Claremont Men’s College, political pivots, and Air Force service and discharge. Then we follow the escalation: drug-facilitated abductions, a chilling M.O., and the cryptic “scorecard” that investigators believe cataloged victims. We also cover the multi-agency hunt that struggled to connect cases spread along freeways and state lines, plus the confusion created by multiple “Freeway Killer” offenders operating in the same era.

If this topic is tough for you, please take care. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, help is available via local resources and national hotlines.
