In July 1999 two best friends set off for a cross-country road trip together. After a camping trip in the New Mexico desert went horribly wrong, one of them didn’t survive. Raffi Kodikian told the park ranger who came to his rescue that he killed his best friend because he thought they were dying of dehydration. Investigators didn’t believe his story and charged him with murder. 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Raffi Kodikian and the murder of David Coughlin. These two guys were the best of friends. Even investigators working for the prosecution said that when they interviewed people who knew them. Raffi always maintained that David asked Raffi to kill him. He also said the plan was for them to die together. The authorities had a hard time believing things played out as Raffi said they did but as one official said, "you don't get to kill someone in New Mexico even if they ask you to."

In 2003, Carlton Dotson was a player on the Baylor University basketball team when he shot and killed his friend and teammate Patrick Dennehy. Carlton claimed that he was hearing voices, was the son of God, and had knowledge of who would and who would not get into heaven. He also claimed that Patrick was about to harm him so he had to kill him.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Carlton Dotson and the murder of Patrick Dennehy. It is thought to be one of the few, if not the only, instance of a college athlete murdering a fellow teammate. Carlton appeared to be battling some type of serious mental illness. But, the resulting investigation uncovered NCAA rules violations, an attempted cover-up by a high-level coach, possible drugs in the program, and some individuals who people believe may have played a role in the murder. This is a case where the motive for the murder seems very murky and may leave you asking the question; why did Carlton Dotson really murder Patrick Dennehy.

Janie Lou Gibbs seemed like a normal wife and mother of three children. She was devoted to her church and ran her own daycare center to help working parents. She was respected by everyone in the small community of Cordele, Georgia. In 1966 and 1967, four of Janie’s family members died unexpectedly. It took the authorities some time to figure out that Janie Gibbs was behind the deaths.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss poisoner Janie Lou Gibbs. At Janie's trial, the prosecution told the jury that Janie was a sane woman who murdered her family members for life insurance money so that she could upgrade her lifestyle. The defense said she was mentally ill at the time she committed the murders, thought she was dying, and wanted her family to wait for her in heaven. Janie admitted to the murders so that wasn't in question. Was she a cold and calculating murderer or mentally ill and therefore could not be held responsible for her actions?

By the 1970s, Clarence Ray Allen had built a pretty good life for himself. He had a thriving business, a loving wife, children, and grandchildren. But, for some reason, that was not enough for Clarence and he started a criminal enterprise that was described as a gang of misfits. He began masterminding armed robberies but constantly told his crew that he would kill anyone who crossed him. And he carried out that threat when he proclaimed that his son's girlfriend, Mary Sue Kitts, was a snitch.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Clarence Ray Allen. Allen was convicted of the murder of Mary Sue Kitts. But, he was angling for a retrial and he thought that his best course of action was to kill the people who could testify against him at his retrial. To do this, he enlisted his son and a hitman who had been in prison with him. Clarence Ray Allen lived a double life. To some, he was a kind man known for going above and beyond for his family, friends, and employees. Others knew him as an organized crime leader who would kill anyone who snitched on him. Clarence Allen had enough influence over his accomplices to order the murder of a teenage girl and arrange several murders from prison.

Kristen Gilbert was a nurse who committed at least four murders at a VA hospital in Massachusetts.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Kristen Gilbert. Kristen had a good childhood and many people who knew her had positive things to say about her. The one thing that has come up was that she craved attention and would lie and manipulate people to get that attention. Authorities believe this constant need for attention also had something to do with her murders. Did she murder to get the attention of a man in her life? Or, did she murder while trying to set up emergency situations where she could swoop in and get attention by being the savior?
