  • The Villisca Axe Murders Part 1

    If you know true crime then you know The Villisca Axe Murders. In 1912 an entire family and two house guests were brutally killed in their sleep by a cold blooded beast. There have been a couple suspects over the years, but somehow this case remains officially unsolved. The details are spine chilling, but the case itself is one of the most fascinating. 



    Amazing sources used for this episode include:



    The Man From The Train by Bill James 




    A Nightmare in Villisca By Richard Estep 




    Villisca by Roy Marshall

  • Jodi Arias

    Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander met in September of 2006 and from day one they were hooked on each other. Their relationship started getting toxic when Jodi became overly possessive and started listening in on Travis’s conversations when he was unaware. Travis broke things off with Jodi but the two of them never really stopped seeing each other, even when Jodi’s toxic behaviour was in full bloom. Unfortunately things escalated in June 2008 and Jodi murdered Travis in his own home. The details involved in this case are truly mind boggling.

  • The Railroad Killer

    As promised, we are talking today about the serial killer from Episode 266. In that episode, we focused on the only survivor of his crimes, Holly Dunn. Today, we take a walk through all of his crimes. 

    Throughout the 80's and 90's, Angel Maturino Resendiz was one of the most brutal killers the United States had ever seen. Known by the media as the Railroad Killer, he stalked victims nears railroad tracks before brutally butchering them either next to the tracks or in their own homes. His mode of operation involved sexual assault and a gruesome amount of overkill. He moved freely between his home in Mexico and the States before finally being caught through fingerprints and SNA. After a reign of terror that was as prolific as it was terrorizing, he was fortunately coerced into turning himself into authorities in 1999.

  • The Unbelievable Survival Story of Holly K. Dunn

    Alaina brings us the tale of Holly K Dunn who survived a brutal attack at the hands of an evil, deranged man. Holly’s survival tale is incredibly inspiring but also heartbreaking because through it she lost an amazing boyfriend, Chris Maier. Chris Maier and Holly had recently begun dating and were just enjoying an evening stroll by a set of railroad tracks when a man came out of the dark in front of them and attacked them. What Holly didn’t find out for two years was that this man was one of the most notorious serial killers.

  • The New England Vampire Panic

    Today Alaina decided to take it to a vampiric place. During the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries New England was struggling with severe outbreaks of Consumption.  To better explain this plague that caused severe pain, bloody hacking coughs and the victim to seemingly waste away without explanation, they turned to the supernatural. When entire families began falling victim to its brutal clutches, it simply had to be vampires who had taken host in their loved ones ailing bodies to suck the life from the remaining members. Come on in for a dive into a world where eating the ashes of an exhumed family member's decomposing heart was considered medicine.
