Take two on this case! This week, Cindy is looking at a previously cold case that was finally solved over 30 years after a young couple was abducted from Davis, CA, while on their way to a surprise party. As some of you may know, Davis is Cindy's home town, so this case is very near and dear to her, as it was to many people who grew up there, including a journalist named Joel Davis, who became so interested in the case he actually helped get it reopened, and finally solved. Follow along with all the twists and turns of a 30 year case finally solved by a former classmate of one of the victims (with a little help from new DNA technology). This case is sad, frustrating, and ultimately bittesweet - we're glad the monster who killed them was finally caught, but nothing will ever bring this beautiful couple back, or remove the stain on the community from which they were taken one cold, foggy night in December 1980.

This week, we are again in 1980, this time in Northern California and diving into a former cold case: The Sweeetheart Murders. This case takes place in Cindy's hometown of Davis, CA and involves two kids she could have grown up with: smart, well liked, from good families; the kind of people who would go out and make a difference in the world, had they ever been given a chance. Instead, 18 year old sweethearts John Riggins and Sabrina Gonsalves were bruttally murdered on a cold, foggy night in December, taken in the night by a monster who would remain undiscovered for over 20 years.

This will be the last True Crime California Podcast we post here, so please be sure to follow the new podcast anywhere you listen!

This week, we take a look at the very well known and horrifying case of the Wonderland Murders. This case involves a slew of then-well-known names, including one John Holmes, otherwise known as Johnny Wadd, a famous (or infamous) adult film star and all around trash bag human being. From humble beginnings to incredible fame to a drug induced fall from grace, this man single handedly caused so much chaos and death for those around him, the story is almost unbelievable. However, anything is possible in Hollywood, especially in the drug fueled 1980's. Even, as you will see, a crime so bold and out in the open, it's absolutely wild that this quadruple murder, known also as the 'four on the floor' murders, is still unsolved.

Hey there Twisted Listeners! While Diva and Cindy take a break from the rigorous schedule that was Twisted Listers, CIndy has decided to strike out on her own and start a true crime podcast all about crime in her beautiful home state of California! We're posting her first epsiode here, and you can find her upcoming episodes by searching True Crime California, or following the link below! Give her a like and a follow, and get ready for some fun deep dives into the heinous crimes of the Golden State. 

In her first episode, Cindy details the short life and terrible death of Playbody Playmate and rising star, Dorothy Stratten. Dorothy's life was short and troubled, and her death was one of many similar stories coming out of Hollywood at that time. It's a tragic tale of love, lust, and powerful men who believe they have a right to the life of a beautiful young woman.

This week, we are turning once again to the wild world of the romantic, and looking at first dates that went horribly horribly wrong. It’s very dangerous, it seems, to be a person trying to date! These tales of horror from the dating world include a suspicious accident on the freeway, two dates who were terrifyingly uncaring, and a date that would be the chilling end for a young tourist. Be careful in your next forays in the dating world, twisted listeners - you never know who may be out there!

Cases Covered:
1. Grace Millane
2. Orlando Boldewijn

We're back this week with a classic topic, and one we've covered before. Sadlly, there are so many cases under this topic that we decided to cover it again - and we'll likely do it again sometime! These are cases of people murdered (or, as you'll see, murdered?) On a first date. These tales are mostly of sucky dudes behaving as such, and the horrific things that happen as a result. One case will leave you scratching your head wondering if the courts got it right (a common question) while the other are sadly a bit more cut and dry. 

Cases Covered:
1. Sade Robinson
2. Jennifer St Clair

Part 2 of this horrific list now posted! And the stories here aren't any better. We have one tale of a completely senseless murder where the alleged killer wears the victim's clothes, and another that turned into a national story, with politically charged opinions and actions from all sides of the government.


Cases Covered:
1. Laken Riley
2. Kirsten Kluyts

As many of you know, Diva is staunchly against any sort of outdoor activity, and will take any chance she can find to explain to you why it's a terrible idea. As such, she has chosen the horrible topic of people who were murdered while jogging! This list serves as both a cautionary tale for all fitness enthusiasts, as well as a commentary on the sad state of the world when people, and women especially, can't even enjoy being outdoors without fear of harm. It's a terrible reality, but definitely one Diva herself will never experience, and we hope the same for all of you, dear listeners. So please enjoy your lives, the outdoors, but above all else, stay off our lists! 


Cases Covered:
1. Sydney Sutherland
2. Roberta 'Bibi' Lee
