In April 1963, former Olympic skier Sonja McCaskie was strangled and dismembered by 18-year-old high school student Thomas Lee Bean, who had a history of troubled behavior. Thomas’s attorneys presented an insanity defense, but there was evidence that he put thought and planning into the murder.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Thomas Lee Bean and the murder of Sonja McCaskie. The strategy that Thomas's attorney decided on was odd. He didn't dispute the fact that his client killed Sonja. He didn't ask for a change of venue or even object to the introduction of evidence at trial. Would the strategy work?

Arohn Kee is known as the “East Harlem Rapist.” Over eight years, he murdered three teen girls and raped four more teens in New York City. One detective called him “every young lady’s worst nightmare.” 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the life and crimes of Arohn Kee. This man was so despicable that we were often disgusted while talking about him. His crimes were horrible, but his callous nature towards his victims also stands out. He once told a victim that she should be happy about what was happening because he was such a good-looking guy.

Larry and Danny Ranes were serial killer brothers who primarily targeted victims near Kalamazoo, Michigan. Larry and Danny were suspected of committing multiple murders. Danny enlisted the help of a teenage accomplice named Brent Koster in some of his crimes

Join Mike and Gibby for this second and last episode on Larry and Danny Ranes. What makes the Ranes brothers unique is that they killed victims independently. This is thought to be the only known instance in US history where one family produced two serial killers at separate times in unrelated incidents. We cover the rest of the investigation, the trials of Danny and Brent Koster, and the headlines the brothers made in later years.
