This week I'm discussing the case of Ezra McCandless. She was head over heels in love with her boyfriend Jason Mengel, but had a secret relationship with another man- Alex Woodworth. This love triangle has deadly results.

Last week's delay has put me behind and I'm still working on the next Killer Story...
In the meantime I am sharing a collaboration I did a while back with Lorraine Purdon of Once Upon a Nightmare. We covered Ringu (Japanese) vs. The Ring (American) films.

John Bunting was the ringleader of a gang who takes it upon themselves to rid Australia of pedofiles and homosexuals.

They were beaten, tortured and strangled to death.

While the first few victims were buried, he found a new way of disposing of their bodies- placing them inside large plastic barrels filled with acid.

With 11 total victims, John Bunting is known as Australia's WORST serial killer.

I welcome back Stuart Blues for our 5th episode of 'Killer British Murder Stories'. A mashup of our two podcast names (Killer Stories & British Murders).
This week Stu is telling me the case of David Fuller. Familial DNA helped nail him for 2 murders in the late 80's...but as you will soon find out, he is guilty of much MUCH more.
