My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

Published on 30 Oct 2017. In a TCATT first, for our Halloween episodes we're combining True Crime All The Time and True Crime All The Time Unsolved. This episode of True Crime All The Time deals with the DeFeo Murders that took place in Amityville, NY. The TCATT Unsolved episode follows up with the resulting haunting that was alleged to have taken place in the same house to the next owner.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the details of the DeFeo murders. Many people are familiar with the Amityville Horror but not everyone is familiar with the mass murder that happened in that house prior. Ronald "Butch" DeFeo Jr. murder his entire family. Did he hear voices that compelled him to commit the murders? Did George and Kathy Lutz who would buy the house after the murders experience the same demonic forces that cause Butch to kill?

Published on 19 Aug 2018. Everyone loves the idea of having the perfect family and keeping everyone close together. Go to work, come home, play with the kids, eat dinner together. Unfortunately, that isn’t always how things go. In 2015, the Bever family was the perfect example of this. The family of nine stuck close together within the four walls of their home in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

But, stick a family together long enough, and eventually someone will blow their lid. On the evening of July 22nd, 2015, Robert and Michael Bever carried out a savage attack on their family, leaving most of their family dead, but their plans reached further than the closed doors of their home.

Published on 22 Dec 2016. On this week's My Favorite Murder (now with a stick of s****y gum!), Karen and Georgia recount the Starved Rock State Park murders and the mysterious ongoing kidnapping case of Sherri Papini.

And few countries hold such a variety of frightening tales, both old and modern, as the lovely Emerald Isle. But not everything that walks those hills is safe to approach.

She claimed to speak to the dead, and even produce physical manifestations of their spirits. But when she seemed to know wartime secrets about the whereabouts of military ships, she caught the attention of MI5. And in 1944, a few months before D-day, she was convicted under a 200-year-old "Witchcraft Act".

Published on 23 Jul 2018. Westley Allan Dodd was one of the most evil men to walk this earth. He preyed on the young, the trusting, and the vulnerable. His sexual fantasies started at a young age and it is thought that he had as many as 50 victims. Then, he graduated to murder. After he was caught, Dodd asked for the death penalty, telling anyone that would listen that he would do anything he could to escape so he could murder again.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the life and crimes of this vile monster. Dodd was arrested and let go with a slap on the wrist so many times that you have to question how the system let this happen. By his own admission, he would have never stopped on his own.

Published on 05 Aug 2018. We all love to talk about all of the things we’re going to do to better ourselves… all of the changes we want to make. Maybe we’d like to focus more on our families, start a business, or go back to school. Whatever the case, these aspirations often remain nothing more than that… aspirations. We put them on hold for so long that we forgot about them.  

This is the story of 26-year-old Laura Ackerson, a young woman who was taking those steps.  She was determined to build a brighter future for herself and for her children. 

But just as it was starting to take shape, that future was cut short.
