The Minds of Madness - True Crime Stories

A grim monument stands in Renfrew County by the banks of Ontario’s Petawawa River, where three steel sculptures bend gracefully towards a stone inscribed, with the names of over two dozen murdered women.

Previously in Part 1 of the Ohio Strangler case, you heard the harrowing story of Jane. A woman who barely escaped being kidnapped, raped, and tortured at the hands of a local drifter named Shawn Grate in Ashland, Ohio.

In the end, police found and raided the abandoned house she was being held captive. A house turned torture chamber.

But if detectives thought this is where the story would end they were sorely mistaken.

It’s no secret, that one of the most common fears among women is the possibility of being randomly attacked by a complete stranger. And sadly, it's a fear all too often based in reality.

But what happens when a dangerous predator decides, he wants to get to know his victims before attacking them?

A twisted killer who wants to become friends…before revealing the darkness within.

There are just some things in life - we simply can’t live without: such as Food, water, shelter… and perhaps the occasional podcast… These things keep us alive, but what about the things that make life really worth living?

Goals that propel us…Art that inspires us… Experiences that fulfill us… And of course, the one thing that’s driven humanity to its greatest heights…love.

And if we’re lucky, we’ll experience all different forms of it during our lifetimes - from Familial to Platonic, to Romantic.

But there can be a dark side to love as well: because The more we care, the greater the potential to get hurt…

On an autumn day back in 1994, authorities from a tiny ski village in Canada’s Laurentian Mountains responded to reports of a house fire.
What they discovered inside was chilling: two bodies, at first believed to be suicides. 

But the investigation didn't end there. Three more victims would be discovered, stabbed to death.

The very next day, two small towns in Switzerland were rocked by eerily similar tragedies.

New Year's Eve is a time for reflection and hope. A moment to bid farewell to the past and embrace the future. But for one family in St. Joseph Township Michigan, the festivities in 2018 would be cut short in the most brutal way.

At 11 PM, the police department received a chilling 911 call from a woman in distress. Her voice was shaking, her words barely audible, but the message was clear, her husband had been shot, and he needed help fast.
