A podcast listener recently reached out to let us know about a connection between famed Little House on the Prairie author Laura Ingalls Wilder and America's first family of serial killers, The Bloody Benders. In this episode, we share the story of the Benders, explore the connection between them and Laura Ingalls Wilder, and discuss a current event that has a connection to our episode last week about abandoned Disney World projects.

As a former Disney World employee, it's no surprise that Marti's favorite creepypasta is Abandoned by Disney. Take a listen as she not only does a reading of this creepypasta, but also shares actual projects at Disney World that have been abandoned and left to fall into ruin.

One thing you’ll learn in this episode is that I hate horror movies. I know, I know. It’s blasphemous. But, it’s also true.

However, I absolutely love creepypasta stories. In case you’re not familiar with what creepypastas are, they’re basically short horror stories.

In this episode, I do a (rather mortifying) reading of my favorite creepypasta, Laughing Jack, and I also briefly talk about two of my other favorites; Ben Drowned and suicidemouse.avi.

In our end segment for this episode, I provide a shocking update to a local investigation into the murder of 11-year-old Gannon Stauch.

It is my birthday. (I'll never miss the chance to work in a good reference to The Office!) But, it really is my birthday this week and Marti and I thought it would be fun to share some interesting birthday rituals and murders ... because it just wouldn't be our show if there wasn't a little murder thrown in for good measure. Enjoy!

"She thought to herself that she had to survive because he could do this to someone else and she didn’t want that."

We spent Women’s History Month highlighting stories of female serial killers, and now we want to highlight a very different kind of woman.

Mary Vincent survived unspeakable horror at the age of 15 and continued to show astonishing levels of bravery and badassery in the following decades.

Her story is one you’ll likely never forget and that we’re sure you’ll find both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Also in this episode, we provide the first update in a homicide case happening in Britany’s backyard that has been garnering national attention.

"Now they've got to find out for sure, because they want to know if there's still a mass murdering psycho bitch running around ... or if she died."

In this final installment of our spotlight on female serial killers in honor of Women’s History Month, we’re sharing the tale of a woman who killed so many people that the police literally stopped counting the bodies.

Belle Gunness lured men to their death on a rural farm in Indiana in the late 1800s/early 1900s before possibly dying in the same manner used to kill her victims. But, did she really die, or did she convince a lover to help her murder her children and fake her own death?

Take a listen to the episode and decide for yourself!

"She could’ve pretty much started her own little Sephora of horrors with all the shit they found." There’s never been a career woman quite like Enriqueta Marti before or thankfully since. Maidservant, nanny, sex worker, witch doctor, medicine woman, kidnapper, child killer, cannibal, sex trafficker, trifling hoe AND forensic scientist ... this bish could give Barbie a run for her money. This week we dive into the story of The Vampire of Barcelona, one of the most disturbing and prolific serial killers of her time, in honor of Women’s History Month. You’re welcome for the nightmares!

Take a listen to this very brief special announcement about episode 12.

"You don’t ever want that level of psycho back on your streets."

I don’t know about you, but if some little old Italian lady offered me some homemade cookies, I’m gonna eat them. But, then again, I would never expect one of the main ingredients to the be boiled blood of a woman who’d been hacked up and turned into soap and dessert.

In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re going to be highlighting female serial killers for this entire month! Our first one is Leonarda Cianciulli and her story is exactly as gross as it sounds … but, surprisingly, even more fucked up. Enjoy!
