Murder, My Dude

An early Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Murder, My Dude to all of you!

And in honor of the day AFTER Turkey Day, this week we look at several killings related to the holiday shopping season - specifically Black Friday and the newer tradition of stores doing big sales on Thanksgiving itself. The killings themselves run the gamut: road rage, Good Samaritans paying the ultimate price, crimes of passion, and more. It's an episode sure to make you want to wait for Cyber Monday!

BUT FIRST! Who Died The Worst takes a pair of cases from the UK.

And, as always, we close with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst!

Murder, My Dude returns to Fridays (well, every other Friday), with a new story just in time for the upcoming cold months.

When you think cold weather in the US, you think Alaska, and no killer terrorized our 49th state more than Robert Hansen, better known as Bob The Baker or The Butcher Baker (it’s not known if he ever made candlesticks). After moving from Iowa to Anchorage, Alaska in the 1960s, Hansen engaged in a decade-plus long reign of terror that could’ve gone longer if it hadn’t been for one victim that refused to be victimized. This week, we explore his story.

BUT FIRST! On This Week In Murder, we take a deep look at the horrific accident on the set of the film Rust and a Minnesota Man who may have successfully employed a legal defense based around energy drinks.

And then, as always, we play Who Died The Worst!

It all comes full-circle on this week’s episode.

Going back three years, all the way back to Episode One, we reviewed the 2018 Halloween Revival, and this week, we review the sequel: Halloween Kills. But that’s not all! We cover fake murder of all kinds: Chucky on USA/SyFy, You and Squid Game on Netflix, and Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building.

BUT FIRST: a breaking news update on a hot case, a (probably not) breaking news update on a cold case, and an assassination across the pond on This Week In Murder.

And, as always, we play a game of Who Died The Worst!

116 episodes in, and we have a new (albeit temporary) segment! The world can't seem to get enough of the Brian Laundrie manhunt, so we'll be taking a regular look at that each and every week.

And that's in addition to This Week In Murder! This episode, we explore the possibility of parole for the assassin of presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and a Brazilian butt lift gone bad.

From there, it's on to our feature story, which takes a look at killer conman John Haigh, the Acid Bath Murderer.

And, as always, we close with a game of Who Died The Worst?!

Murder My Dude, returns with your 115th dose of True Crime Comedy Goodness (patent pending)!

And as a true crime podcast that dabbles in current events, we’d be derelict in our duties if we didn’t cover the tragic killing of Gabby Petito.

Just hours before we recorded this episode, law enforcement confirmed that a body found in a Wyoming park the weekend before was indeed Petito’s, and we discuss the case as part of a super-sized This Week In Murder.

Then it’s on to our topic proper, an alleged femme fatale whose trial ushered in the era of the made-for-TV court case. Pamela Smart, 22 at the time of her husband’s murder, was accused of conspiring with her teenaged paramour in plotting and carrying out the heinous act.

Was she the mastermind, or was she railroaded by a group of delinquents trying to get off easier?

After we explore that, we finish off like we always do: with a game of Who Died The Worst?

Jackson and B.P. return to familiar true crime territory, and the case they’re covering this week is one of the most famous of this century (so far).

Meredith Kercher was a young English exchange student experiencing a year abroad in Italy, her whole life ahead of her, when it was all gone in the blink of an eye. When her life was taken from her all-too-soon, the attention of the media and local prosecutors alike turned to her roommate, the titular “Foxy Knoxy,” Amanda Knox.

A fellow exchange student from the Pacific Northwest and one of Meredith’s roommates, Amanda and her Italian boyfriend found themselves in the eye of the legal and media storm that ensued after Meredith’s senseless killing. What followed was a rollercoaster legal process and a media circus the world won’t soon forget.

And neither will you, after you listen to this episode!

BUT FIRST! The convicted killer of an Iowa college student is sentenced and an infamous serial killer from nearly two decades ago sees six of his life sentences under review in This Week In Murder.

And, as always, we close with a shocking game of Who Died The Worst?

We’re back with our biggest episode yet!

And yes, that episode length is due to many, many of the off-topic detours our loyal listeners know and love!

But there’s also plenty of true (and false) crime goodness!

On the true front, This Week In Murder explores a COVID-19 related prison release that quickly led to tragedy and a crime of passion allegedly killing a prominent executive.

Then, it’s on to the false crime! Our featured topic this week is Showtime’s hit serial killer drama Dexter! In anticipation of the show’s upcoming revival, we explore the history of the show, the novel series that inspired it, and the future continuation!

And, as always, we finish with Who Died The Worst!

The Brooklyn Thrill Killers is one of the many salacious names given to a group of four teenage boys in the aforementioned New York City borough who found themselves at the center of a crime spree that left at least one person dead and started a firestorm that changed the comic book industry as we know it. This week, we explore their story.

But first - it’s a super-sized This Week in Murder featuring the death of a notorious killer, patricide, avian murder for hire, and  threats toward public figures. No, we’re not joking. Why do you ask?

And, as always, we play a rousing game of Who Died The Worst?

Murder, My Dude returns with a case tailor-made for the upcoming dog days of Summer!

When two women, both wearing floral bikinis, washed up on the coasts of Thailand in the mid-1970s, some called their murders the Bikini Killings. After he was apprehended, the man who took their lives - and possibly the lives of as many as two dozen others - was dubbed by some as The Bikini Killer.

However, thanks to a BBC production, later aired in the U.S. through Netflix, many may know Charles Sobhraj by another name: The Serpent.

This week, we explore his story.

BUT FIRST: This Week In Murder explores the death of a lovestruck juror, and Who Died The Worst explores Summer fun gone horribly wrong.

Just in time for a gripping heat wave, Murder, My Dude goes back deep in the heart of Texas!

Well, not really. This is more East Texas. Almost Louisiana, actually.

But - spoiler alert - the heat does play a part in cracking the mind-bending case at the center of our show this week. Texas oilman Greg Fleniken traveled for work constantly, and he loved his hotel rooms to be like, as his wife would describe, a meat locker. So when he was found dead in a hot, locked hotel room with few signs of external harm but massive internal injuries, police were at a loss to explain what happened, let alone bring his killers to justice.

Before we get into that, though, we discuss an awful roommate in Georgia and a wild shootout in Colorado in This Week In Murder. Later on, as always, we finish with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst!
