Murder In America

By 23, Ricky Wassenaar had established himself as a career criminal, destined for a life behind bars. But no one could have possibly expected that his darkest crimes wouldn’t even begin until the cell door shut behind him. Most of our cases end with someone going to prison. But Ricky’s was just beginning. Over a 20-year period, Ricky tried to escape, staged a riot, and ultimately went on to orchestrate a series of murders, ones that ended with Ricky saying, “My only regret is that I didn’t kill more.”

It started with a possession. An 11-year-old boy, left gasping for breath and writhing on the floor as a demon took control of his body. That story, in and of itself, had people all around the world entranced. But then… the story somehow got worse. There were pleas to the Catholic church. Violent episodes, and finally, a brutal murder. And then came the infamous words: "The devil made me do it".

At first, 16-year-old Devon Griffin was sure he was looking at a Halloween prank. As he stood over his parents' bed, where two bodies lay, drenched in blood, it was the only thing that made sense. The reality was too horrible to comprehend: That his mother and stepdad had been killed as they slept in bed, defenseless. But even that reality didn’t capture the true horror of what had happened inside the house. Because upstairs lay another body. And miles away was the killer: someone Devon knew and loved.

Two lives. A brutal double murder. And a story far more disturbing than anyone could have imagined. On September 10, 1995, a routine shopping trip turned into an unimaginable nightmare. Twenty-nine-year-old Lisa Marie Manderach and her 18-month-old daughter, Devon, stopped at a children’s clothing store in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, just before closing time. They never made it home. What dark secrets would emerge as investigators pieced together the horrifying events of that day? Listen as we unravel a case that proves the truth can be more unsettling than fiction.

On September 18th, 2023, officers in Romeoville, Illinois, knew they were facing something they had never seen before. As they peered in the windows of a darkened family home, the flashes of what lay inside made their stomachs churn. Three dogs, shot. Furniture turned over. Belongings strewn across the room like a robbery gone wrong. The young family that lived in the home: 32-year-old Alberto Rolon, 38-year-old Zoraida Bartolomei, and their boys, nine-year-old Adriel and seven-year-old Diego, were missing. As police looked inside, nothing could have prepared them for where the family ended up: Or why.

On June 21st, 2018, a 29-year-old dedicated mother and aspiring lawyer, Maria Jimenez-Rodriguez, vanished without a trace. For the next 8 years, her family fought for justice: Leading the investigation into her disappearance, hunting down clues, and even confronting her killer by themselves. This case is one defined by love in the face of true evil. Evil was pieced together, piece by piece, using phone records, video surveillance, and a receipt for an incredibly troubling purchase.

In Part two of this three-part series, we walk second-by-second through January 24th, 2023, a day that changed Duxbury, Massachusetts, and the Clancy family forever. On that day, police arrived at the peaceful family home belonging to Lindsay and Patrick Clancy to discover the most horrific scene of their career: Lindsay, clinging to life in the snow outside after an apparent suicide attempt, and inside, the bodies of Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy, strangled to death in the basement of their own home.

Lindsay Musgrove Clancy had everything going for her. She had a great childhood, loving family and friends, excelled in school and sports, and became one of the most beloved nurses in the labor and delivery unit at Massachusetts General Hospital.

In part one of our three-part series, we dive deep into the beginnings of Lindsay Clancy, the birth of her children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, and the descent into mental illness that ultimately led to their deaths.

In December of 2007, the National Forests of the Eastern US were being hunted by a killer. By that point, Gary Hilton had already claimed two victims. But as 2007 turned to 2008, he set his sights on two more. Little did he know, as he slunk through National Forests targeting these women, that they would be his downfall. Because Cheryl Dunlap and Meredith Emerson weren’t going to go down without a fight. And their fight not only led police to the realization that they had a serial killer on their hands, but led them right to him, in a game of cat and mouse unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
