Murder Coaster

Today we will be uncovering the horrible connections between John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown, and Dean Corll, the Candy Man, namely the Delta Project, a disturbing network that went by many names, including the Odyssey Foundation and The Hermes Organization.

The Delta Project, run by John David Noman and Phillip Paske, was like a diseased and wretched octopus reaching out its tentacles across the world, destroying lives, and what you are about to hear today will shock you to your core, so be prepared.

The web of perversion, lies and corruption reaching up into the highest levels of law enforcement and the Federal government is sickening beyond belief.

Discretion is advised.

Prepare yourselves for a descent into darkness as we cover one of the very first modern serial killers: the Candy Man, Dean Corll.

A sadist and sexual psychopath who lurked in the shadows of Houston Texas for years, abducting, torturing and killing, the most prolific killer in the United States at that time. A case made even darker by the strange underground ties he had with other sociopaths and killers, including John Wayne Gacy, the infamous killer clown.

Discretion is advised.

Welcome back to part two of the story of James Earl Ray and the assassination of Martin Luther King.

When we left you last, the intersection of these two men, one filled with hate and anger, the other with hope and love, came to be, in Memphis Tennessee.

And it is here in Memphis that we continue.

The assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King in 1968 was one of the greatest of American tragedies, a truly horrific moment in time when a man of nonviolence and love, a man who’d fundamentally changed the world for the better, was gunned down before his 40th birthday.

Today we tell the tale of his killer, James Earl Ray, a sad and pathetic excuse of a man, as mysterious as he was confoundingly odd and sociopathic, his very motive up for debate and swollen with conspiracy theories, some of which have yet to be disproven. But today we’re going to mostly skirt the speculation and inuendo to bring you the cold hard facts in the strange tale of how the tragic intersection of these two men came to be. Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you, the truly bizarre and fundamentally American story of James Earl Ray and the assassination of the Reverand Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy Valentine's Day, ladies and gentlemen!

To celebrate we bring you one of the most disturbing and bizarre love stories in the history of true crime, a case exceptional because of both the sheer inhumanity, and the very, very young ages, of everyone involved in this horrendous and horrible love triangle.

It’s a tale Shakesperean in many ways, the young star-crossed lovers of Romeo and Juliet, followed by the blinding jealousy of Othello, and the bloodthirstiness of Tamora in Titus Andronicus, yet it’s a tale callously nineteen-nineties as well, indicative of the culture of the times, the materialism of Madonna and the nihilism of Marilyn Manson, that nineties grunge culture of MTV.

And in the end, it’s a story so horrendous and gut wrenching it’s hard to believe it’s true. But true it is, all too true.

It is the story of Melinda Loveless and the horrible murder of Shanda Sharer.
