Murder Amongst Friends

Thank you for joining us for our 20th episode! This week, we cover the case of serial killer Joseph Kallinger. He isn't the most well known killer, nor does he have the highest body count, but who he chose as an accomplice makes this story very unique. Join us for another crazy story.

Murder Amongst Friends is back with a heartbreaking story. Sylvia Likens was a 16-year-old girl with her whole life ahead of her. That was until she was placed in the care of Gertrude Baniszewski. This is a cautionary story about the real consequences of turning a blind eye to another person's suffering. You won't believe how many missed opportunities for rescue there were and how Sylvia's tragic end could have been avoided.

We're back with another supersized episode to finish out the story of Larry Ray and the Sarah Lawrence Sex Cult. If you think you can guess how crazy the backstory of Larry Ray is based on the craziness of the cult he created, think again. You won't believe the cast of characters that show up in this episode!

This week is a supersized episode of Murder Amongst Friends! We begin telling the story of Larry Ray and the cult he created while his daughter was attending Sarah Lawrence College. This story is wild, you won't want to miss a second, and this is only the first half!

We go back into the Murder Amongst Friends archives this week to share an early test episode we recorded! We both love this 100-year-old story and wanted to share it with you even though we were still figuring out how to, you know, actually record a podcast. Travel with us back to 1922 Germany and try to solve the case of the infamous Hinterkaifeck Murders.

Dance school, a babysitter, secret money, and self-loathing all culminate in the very sad story we cover this week. Rachel Barber had everything in the world going for her until she crosses paths with a certain babysitter. Listen in as we break down the details. Also, the roofers are back so listen carefully for the unexpected cameo.
