    Known as The Lambeth Poisoner, Cream used his medical knowledge to murder vulnerable women using strychnine, a poison that caused hours of violent suffering. From Canada to the United States to England, his crimes spanned three countries, exposing massive failures in justice, forensics, and medical oversight.

    In this episode of Serial Killer Files by Skoob, host Arthur Morgan breaks down Cream’s disturbing rise—from medical student to convicted murderer—his manipulation of police through blackmail letters, the myth linking him to Jack the Ripper, and the arrogance that ultimately led to his execution at Newgate Prison.

    In this chilling episode of Serial Killer Files by Skoob, host Arthur Morgan takes you deep inside one of the most disturbing true crime cases in American history — Anthony Sowell, the Cleveland Strangler.

    For over two years, Sowell murdered vulnerable women in Cleveland, Ohio, hiding their bodies inside his own home on Imperial Avenue. Neighbors complained of a foul smell. Police missed warning signs. Victims were ignored. What investigators eventually uncovered became known as one of the most horrifying crime scenes ever discovered in the United States.

    This episode explores the psychology of Anthony Sowell, the systemic failures that allowed him to keep killing, and the tragic stories of the women whose voices were never taken seriously. From ignored assault reports to a last-minute manhunt before Halloween, this is a deep dive into how indifference can become deadly.

    What happens when faith is twisted into a weapon?

    In this chilling episode of Serial Killer Files by Skoob, host Arthur Morgan dives deep into the terrifying true story of Ervil LeBaron, the self-proclaimed prophet who turned religious belief into a system of control, violence, and murder. Known as the “Mormon Manson,” LeBaron used extremist theology, blood atonement doctrine, and absolute obedience to order assassinations—including the killing of his own family members.

    From cult indoctrination and secret hit lists to prison-written death orders that continued long after his death, this episode exposes how Ervil LeBaron built one of the deadliest religious cults in American history. You’ll hear how ordinary followers were manipulated into becoming killers—and how the violence echoed for decades across the U.S. and Mexico.

  • Marybeth Tinning: Serial Killer Mom

    For thirteen years, tragedy followed one suburban New York mother—until the truth finally emerged.

    In this chilling episode of Serial Killer Files by Skoob, we uncover the disturbing case of Marybeth Tinning, a woman whose nine children died under mysterious circumstances between 1971 and 1985. Each death was explained away as illness, SIDS, or accident—until one autopsy exposed a horrifying pattern of infanticide.

    Through a detailed timeline, psychological analysis, and forensic breakdown, this episode explores how medical blind spots, misplaced trust, and society’s assumptions about motherhood allowed a killer to hide in plain sight for over a decade. We examine the warning signs that were missed, the psychology behind Munchausen syndrome by proxy, and why justice came far too late.

    This is not just a story about one woman—but a system that failed nine innocent children.

  • The Postcard Killer Who Mocked Police

    In the early 1900s, long before criminal profiling or modern forensics, one killer changed true crime forever. John Frank Hickey — known as The Postcard Killer — didn’t just murder. He wrote letters.

    In this chilling episode of Serial Killer Files by Skoob, we uncover the terrifying story of a man who taunted police, tormented grieving families, and mailed detailed confessions of his crimes. From his violent childhood and first calculated murder to the brutal killing of seven-year-old Joey Joseph, Hickey’s postcards revealed a mind driven by control, manipulation, and a disturbing need to be seen.

    You’ll hear how investigators tracked him through handwriting analysis, how his own letters sealed his fate, and why this case is considered one of America’s earliest serial killer investigations. Even more disturbing are the unanswered questions — how many victims were there really, and how close did he come to getting away with everything?

    Before modern crime labs… before criminal psychology… there was The Postcard Killer.
