This week, we look at some murderers who were driven to kill…literally, because they killed people with their cars. The killers on this list felt they had a “license” to kill, and turned cars into terrifying, deadly weapons. Featuring a black widow who stalked Canada’s cybersphere, a student’s notorious rampage through a crowded college town, and a brutal murder motivated by insurance money. Steer clear of such dangerous drivers, twisted listeners, so you can stay far, far away from this list!

This week, Twisted Listeners, we're going for a ride of sorts; cruising into a terrible topic that involves vehicles. That's right, we're doing people who were murdered by cars! This doesn't include any accidental deaths, of course, but even so, we had more than enough to choose from! Tune in for tales of a cheating husband and his bad plan for murder, two ladies who are wildin' out big time, and a mass murder that hits a little close to home.
Remember, always wear your seatbelt, drive carefully, and definitely staff off of this list!

This week, we turn to the topic of murders that rocked small towns. Inspired by the recent serial stabbings in Cindy’s hometown of Davis, CA, we’ve selected some truly terrifying tales from towns so small they barely register on the map. Featuring slaughter at a grocery store, an unholy affair that led to murder, and a conspiracy involving small town law enforcement. These cases will remind us that no matter how small and sleepy the town, nowhere is truly safe!

Cases Covered:
1. The Be-Lo Supermarket Murders
2. Cindy and Michael Reese, and Pastor Jeff Brown

This week, dear Twisted Listeners, we're diving into a topic inspired by the tragic, recent serial killings in Cindy's home town of Davis, CA. These recent murders seem unfathomable in such a small town, but here we are. And because murders can and do happen in small towns, that's our topic for this week: Small Town Murders! These strange, frustrating, and all around horrific tales all come from small towns - some so small they make you wonder what counts as a town! And as you might imagine, these tales are all very weird, twisted, and sometimes unsolved (and we all know how Cindy feels about that!) So tune in - for those of us from small towns, this will be especially jarring, and will remind us all that no matter where you live, you have to work hard to Stay Off Our Lists!

Cases Covered:
1. Candace Hiltz
2. The Kunz Family Murders

This week, we turn to one of the most frightening types of killers around: those with seemingly no motive at all, perpetrators of the notorious “thrill kill.” As we prefer to get our thrills in much different, less violent ways, it’s really disturbing to know that this is what excites some people. Featuring a terrifying gang of murderous children, the shocking murder of a young cheerleader, and a pair of unsettling roommates bonded by their disturbing interests. Join us as we shudder at these tales of random murders that make us all feel like we are never truly safe from the scary people in our midst!

Cases Covered:
1. Tristyn Bailey and Aiden Fucci

Sometimes, Twisted Listeners, thrills can be fun. Going on roller coasters, seeing scary movies, even something as wild as sky diving - these things can all be fun ways to scare and excite yourself. One way to definitely NOT get excited is through thrill kililngs, which is our topic of discussion for this week.
The horrible jerks on this list killed their victims in awful, terrible ways, and for what? Just for fun - just for the thrill of it. We have literal children murdering innocent women, more tales from Australia, and so much more in this completely horrific and totally angering topic. So tune in and rage with us at the sheer idiocy and evil that takes place in these tales. And the worst part? These are so random, there's no way anybody can be sure they'll stay off this list. That thought itself is quite unsettling!

This week, we’re turning to some of the wildest and most horrific murders from Australia. Whether it’s the notorious outback serial killer Ivan Milat, or the cannibal horrors of Katherine Knight, but there’s always something extra gnarly about Aussie murders. Join us on our trip to this intense country, featuring a mysterious death involving a trash chute, a notorious unidentified serial killer, and a brutal family massacre. Stay safe when traveling down under, twisted listeners, so you can be sure to stay far, far off this list!

G'day, Twisted Listeners! (That's right, we went there). This week, we're diving into a topic we covered waaaay back when we were wee little podcasters, so we wanted to give it another go: Murders of Australia!

These crimes are chilling, scary, twisted, and horrible - all the things we love to hate, and all of them take place in Australia! We've covered some of the bigger cases under other list topics, but we felt Australia deserved its own week. And we're coming in with some heavy hitters, a few lesser known but still horrific cases, and a sprinkle of frustrating cases for good measure. The end result is not pretty, but it's what we're here for.

1. Mr. Cruel
2. The Lin Family Massacre

This week, we’re looking at the thematic Easter topic of murders that involve priests and nuns. It’s no secret that the Catholic Church has a dark side that’s led to all kinds of horrifying crimes. Featuring a priest brought to justice for a long since cold case, the brutal murder of a nun who was advocating for her victimized students, and a frenzied attack that shocked a monastery. Listen and rage along with us at these unholy killers and the infuriatingly corrupt systems that too often protected them.

Holy Hell, Twisted Listeners! This week we're taking on an Easter themed, super twisted topic: murder of the cloth! Each of these murder involves a priest or nun committing the ultimate sin. And, as many of you could guess, it also involves a shit ton of cover ups by the church! These cases are so twisted, so infuriating, and so commonplace that we had difficulty choosing just four cases! The ones we chose, though, HOLY MOLY, they are bad! So tune in and enjoy!

1. Cathy Ceskin/The Keepers
