Welcome to a new segment of Scarytales and Serials titled Nursery Rhyme No No's a.k.a I sang this shit to my kid why. For these we dive into the land of Nursery Rhymes, remove the sunshine and rainbows and get right to the sinister creepy and messed up origin stories. For our first installment we cover The Muffin Man and Mary Mary just wait until you hear the truth behind these seemingly innocent childhood favorites. We also talk about a darker side of Disney.

This week we finish up the dumpster fire that is the case of Mary Bell the Tyneside Strangler. We dive into the murder trial of Britain's youngest female serial killer. Join us for the conclusion of this horrifically mind melting conclusion.

This episode is one big trigger warning. This is the 2nd part of 3 parts to the story of Mary Bell also known as The Tyneside Strangler. We pick up with the aftermath of Mary Bells first murder and go into her second leading to her arrest. This train wreck of a tale has just progressed into a shit show. Buckle up and listen if you dare.

This episode is one big trigger warning. This is the story of Mary Bell also known as The Tyneside Strangler. Mary was 10 when she started committing her crimes and she prayed on younger children to boot. Her story is heartbreaking and horrific not in just her actions but what happened to her in her own little world to mold her the way she was. This is a classic nature vs nurture story and sadly nothing is safe in this case. This is a child on child crime with sexual assault, abuse, neglect, and all around bad and tragic story listen at you own risk.

In 2009 the first image of Slenderman was released as a submission for a Photoshop contest on an internet forum. Its creator Eric Knudsen could not have known the photos he created for a contest would turn into an internet sensation that would be known as Slenderman. The creation of this character inspired many movies, video games and even murder plots. Join us as Tara tells Marah the origin story of Slenderman and how a Photoshop contest creature inspired two 12 year old girls who plotted and carried out a vicious attack to kill their best friend. The only silver lining is this is a survivor story but the story behind its intentions are unbelievable nonetheless. Sit back buckle up and hold on.

This week Tara talks about the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart who was a beautiful, kind and responsible 16 year old girl. She was murdered while house-sitting for members of her family. Her young life was cut short by 2 people she knew. Her killers had a sick and twisted obsession with the Columbine shooters and scary movies especially the Scream franchise. Cassie Jo would have done so much with her life had it not been taken so brutally and senselessly.

We stay local again this week with an unsolved missing person case. Tammy Mahoney was a 19 year old aspiring veterinarian and SUNY Morrisville when she was last seen hitchhiking to a friend's house on May 8th 1981. Tammy's case is not cold by any means and leads are still being actively worked on. The problem lies with jurisdiction as her last known whereabouts was on Indian nation territory. This case has tips twists turns and theories but all roads lead to dead ends.

Chaotic weeks call for chaotic cases and this week is no different. This week Marah surprises Tara with a case she has never heard about Mary Jane Fonder who murdered a woman from her church all because of jealousy. But that is not all Mary Jane has some strange ways of storing her poultry and to add to it her father goes missing a decade earlier than the murder.  This causes us to ask what happened here and what is with the chicken!

This week Tara tells Marah about a case that is near and dear to her, the one that forever changed her and is still seared in her memory to this day. This is the disappearance of Sara Anne Wood. In 1993 a small town in upstate New York was rocked by the abduction of a 12 year old riding her bike home from Vacation Bible School. Today the question of what happens to Sara Anne Wood is still a mystery. This is the hardest case that Tara has tackled yet but we made it through without tears. We hope we did Sara Anne and her case justice and hope she is one day found and her family can be at peace.
