The Hat-Trick Podcast

Today we hope you enjoy our trip off the beaten path as we have a grand basketball debate! We will return next week with the beginning of Season 2, but for this week we thought we would give you a taste of some of our other interests.

Today is the season 1 finale, and it's a big one! Today is Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as The Milwaukee Cannibal. Most people know about Dahmer but we have done a lot of research on this case and we are going to go through his young life, through every murder, and his time on trial and in prison all the way up to his death. We want to thank all of our fans for a great season 1, and we will have a special bonus episode released next week, and be back with season 2 the week after that!

Today is the story of Richard Chase, The Vampire of Sacramento! This man had many issues growing up, the main one being a disorder that made him believe his organs were missing. The main one he was concerned with was his lack of blood. So he eventually went on a terrible murder spree to get more blood. This is a graphic episode. Also heads up, we had some technical issues that we explain at the beginning so bear with us on the sound quality, next week we will sound better than ever!

Today we are talking about Edmund Kemper, also known as the Co-Ed Killer! He was a mountain of a man coming in at 6’9” and was responsible for a terrifying spree of hitchhiker murders in the early 1970’s around Santa Cruz, CA. We will talk about his crimes as well as his life in prison where things get pretty strange. As we have said before, please don’t hitchhike!

Today we are talking about a series of events that came to be known as The Wineville Chicken Coop Murders. A man named Gordon Northcott went on a spree killing multiple young men in the early 1900’s and parts of this story have been covered in movies, the most famous that comes to mind would be The Changeling. This has many twists and turns and we hope you enjoy. Also we are still working on bugs with the new equipment so please bear with us if this episode has any quirks in sounds.

Today is a strange case, it is the story of Charlie Brandt. As a kid, Charlie went into a clouded state of mind and killed his mother. Over 30 years later after spending a seemingly normal life with his wife, he snaps again and kills his wife and niece and proceeds to hang himself. We look over his life and try to decide if these were isolated incidents, or if there were possibly many other dark secrets that no one knew about between the two events.

Today’s topic is the story of Luis Alfredo Garavito, a man from Colombia who went on a murder spree that took the lives of hundreds of boys and young men. Due to the state of civil war Colombia had experienced at the time, it took a while before authorities realized there had been a serial killer on the loose for years. However, once it was discovered, many agencies came together and actually did a pretty good job at unraveling this case. Also, today we pull the topic for our episode 25 Season Finale episode!

Today we are talking about Larry Hall, a man who went on an alleged 9 year spree of murders and stalking. It is unclear exactly how many of the crimes he is suspected of that he really committed, but if most of them are to be believed, he is responsible for some high profile, heinous cases. Also, we introduce our new co-host Micheal Hall and Tony is back on to talk a little bit.

Today we are talking about drifters again, it is The Brutal Texan Tommy Lynn Sells. Although only convicted of one of his crimes, he is possibly responsible for multiple high profile cases. We talk about his childhood, his drifting spree, and some murders that he definitely committed. We have special guests Tony and Matt and we also have a new Top 10 Listener Cities segment in today’s episode! Sorry for the late release this week we were off for July 4th!

Today we are talking about Patrick Wayne Kearney, The Trash Bag Killer. He is one of the more random killers we have talked about, he almost had an impulse to kill. We will look at his spree of senseless murders in California as well as his way of disposing the bodies in trash bags, which earned him his most well-known nick name.
