The family, friends and neighbors of Richard Kuklinski would
describe him as a loving, devoted husband and father who was living
the American dream in the suburbs of New Jersey. However, Kuklinski
would be living a double life. To the criminal underworld and his
victims, he was known a ruthless and brutal hitman for the mafia.
Although law enforcement and organized crime experts have expressed
skepticism about Kuklinski’s claiming to have ties with the Mafia. On May 25, 1988, Richard Kuklinski dubbed as the Iceman by authorities was co convicted of 5 murders but, claimed to have killed at least 250. He was given a sentence of life in prison ending his 30-year reign of cold-blooded murders. So, was Richard Kuklinski a chronic liar who was one of the most dangerous killers that New Jersey would ever come across, or one of the most heinous mass murders in history?

We have all heard the stories of people flocking to Cult leaders committing heinous crimes like those of Charles Manson, David Koresh, Warren Jeffs, and David Miscavige. A man named Chad Daybell would also try his hand as a cult leader under the guise as the chosen Prophet by God to lead and provide the chosen ones with salvation when the end of times would occur according to Daybell’s prediction, on July 22, 2020. Lori Vallow, a mother of 2 would be so captivated by Daybell and Daybell by her, that their cultish attempts would lead to four murders, one attempted murder, and one death ruled as natural causes that tore a community and the families involved apart.

     I am sure that all you have heard one or two of the urban legends surrounding Halloween. Such as razors blades embedded in apples that children would go bobbing for, temporary tattoos laced with LSD, or the infamous candy filled with poison or needles. But what if I told you that one of those urban legends would actually become a reality. On the drizzling and fateful evening of Halloween 1974 the suburbs of Houston, Texas sidewalks were crawling with children bubbling over the brim with excitement for trick or treating. One in particular 8-year-old boy, Timothy O'Bryan, had eagerly awaited to scour the neighborhoods for treasures of candy.

   On September 27, 2017, 29- year- old Chris Grover was found in his home dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Chris's longtime and live-in girlfriend 28-year-old Nicole Addimando admitted to killing him but claimed that she had suffered years of abuse by Chris and that she had acted out of self-defense because she was afraid for her life. The New York town, Poughkeepsie, would become divided with half the town believing that the former preschool teacher, coach and young mother of two had in fact acted out of self-defense. While the other half of Poughkeepsie would call for justice for Chris, who had been and well-respected Head Coach who seemed to be really loved by his family, friends, and students. The trial would draw national attention and, later would lead to a groundbreaking legal petition to review the case through the eyes of a 2019 New York state law that allows a court to resentence a domestic violence survivor if abuse contributed to their conviction. So, this begs to ask the question was this a case of self-defense or that of a sinister mind?

       Brief overview of what we covered in Part 1 of The Hooker from Hell. Aileen Wuornos shot a killed seven men at point blank range between 1989 and 1990, while engaging in prostitution along the highways in Florida. Wuornos claimed that she had acted out of self- defense and that each of her victims had either raped her or tried to rape her. Aileen was continually betrayed by those closest to her for her entire life. Was Aileen a sinister cold-blooded killer or was she acting out of self-defense? For Part 2 of The Hooker from Hell we are going to dive into the trails, verdicts, and Aileen’s 12-years on death row.

Hello all you strange and unusual creators settle in for this sinister true crime where we will dig into the dark depths of the sinister mind behind the menacing crime and the mistakes left behind all while sipping on a sinister cocktail master minded by us for each episode. On the fateful evening of June 3, 2019, 17-year-old Anthony “AJ” Templet made a call to 911 implicating himself in the shooting and killing of his 53-year-old father, Burt Templet, in their Baton Rouge, Louisiana home. At first glance the crime would seem to be a straightforward and a simple case for the prosecution however, the question of why, and was it self-defense or cold-blooded murder would become a complex one involving a sinister series of events leading up to the murder.
