WILDCIDE

In part one of this wild two-parter episode, we dive into the shadowy world of Norwegian black metal- a music scene that transcended mere sound to become a notorious subculture known for its aggressive music with dark, philosophical, and anti-religious ideologies. This chaotic story begins with the notorious and influential history of Mayhem, the band that laid the foundation for Norway’s black metal scene. The band members comprised of aliases like ‘Euronymous’, ‘Hellhammer’, and ‘Necrobutcher’, ‘Count Grishnackh’, along with others, together became a symbol of extreme ideology, shocking events, and underground rebellion. Most notably, is the tragic and disturbing death of Mayhem’s lead singer Per "Dead" Ohlin, the enigmatic frontman of Mayhem whose life and untimely death left an indelible mark on the Norwegian black metal scene. Dead’s obsession with death, the macabre events leading up to his passing, and the dark aftermath involving band members all contribute to a story that is as haunting as it was influential; forever changing the landscape of extreme music. As Mayhem’s notoriety grew, so did the lines between art and real-life violence, including arson, murder, and chaos. Don your corpse paint and join us as we uncover the myth, the music, and the madness behind Norwegian black metal.

In the mid-1940s, a small New England town was devastated by the mysterious death of an infant named Lawrence Noxon. Initially thought to be a horrible accident, suspicions quickly rose surrounding the six-month old’s death sparking an investigation into Lawrence’s father John Noxon, Jr. As local tensions rose, dark dynamics of the town came to light, and a sensationalized murder trial gripped the community. Some say baby Lawrence’s death was a terrible accident and tragedy. Others, well, they think that if John did kill his son, it was an act of mercy. An act driven by his compassion to free his son of a ‘terrible and terminal’ life of Down Syndrome. This case stirs up intense ethical, legal, and emotional views. What played into this supposed ‘mercy killing’? Have we progressed since mid-century mentality and medical expertise? Buckle up and hang out with us as we explore this very tragic and very uncomfortable case. *Make sure to tune in on Friday to our interview with author (and retired court reporter) James “Jim” Overmyer to hear him take us even deeper into the chasms of 1940’s high-society and backwards thinking wrapped up within this case.

In the late 1970s, one of the most improbable and audacious undercover investigations in American history took place. Ron Stallworth's story, Black Klansman, is a gripping and almost surreal tale of infiltration and deception. Ron Stallworth, the first black detective in Colorado Springs, Colorado, undertook a dangerous and audacious mission—to pose as a white supremacist to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. Through phone calls and written correspondence, he gained the trust of local Klan members and even the Grand Wizard, David Duke. His story, later recounted in his 2014 memoir Black Klansman: A Memoir, inspired both the 2018 Spike Lee film BlacKkKlansman and renewed interest in the fight against racial extremism in America. Sit down. Buckle up. And hang with us through this wild case of Ron Stallworth, the first Black Klansman.

In this episode of the Wildcide Podcast, Bailey and Chelsea sit down with a seasoned correctional officer, Angie, to gain firsthand insights into the challenges and realities of working in a correctional facility. Our guest shares her experiences managing inmate populations, maintaining safety, and navigating the emotional and psychological demands of the job. We discuss the evolving role of correctional officers, the impact of staff shortages, and the importance of mental health support within the correctional system. This candid conversation provides a behind-the-scenes look at a profession that plays a critical, yet often unseen, role in the criminal justice system. Our guest has requested to remain anonymous due to her current involvement with dangerous criminal populations.

In the eerie pre-dawn hours of July 16, 2016, the French Robertson Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice was on lockdown. Most inmates were confined, but Dillion Gage Compton, a convicted criminal, was one of twenty inmates working in the kitchen under the supervision of correctional officers, including Officer Mariann Johnson. Hours later, a routine count revealed a chilling reality: Officer Marianne Johnson was missing. Suspicion quickly turned to Dillion Gage Compton, whose earlier suspicious behavior and fresh scratches on his face and neck raised alarms. Forensic evidence would soon give some answers to the heartbreaking reality of Officer Johnson’s murder.  Marianne Johnson is remembered by her family as a loving mother, grandmother, and dedicated officer who served with a sense of duty despite the risks. Correctional Officer deaths, thankfully, are infrequent. But some do give all in the line of duty. Marianne Johnson did. It is with deep sorrow and respect that we honor the life and service of Correctional Officer Marianne Johnson, who passed away in the line of duty on 7/16/2016. Officer Johnson served with dedication and courage, protecting her community and upholding justice within the correctional system. Her End of Watch came on 7/16/2016, marking the end of her brave service but not the impact she made on those she worked with, protected, and inspired. She will be remembered for her unwavering commitment, compassion, and sacrifice.

Rest in peace, Officer Johnson. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

In the summer of 2002, a quiet but audacious plot unfolded within NASA’s Johnson Space Center. A group of interns, led by Thad Roberts, became infamous for orchestrating one of the most audacious crimes in the history of space exploration—the theft of moon rocks. Under the cover of night, they navigated through the heart of NASA’s high-security vaults, making off with hundreds of pounds of lunar material. The heist involved stealing moon rocks that had been brought back to Earth by Apollo astronauts, a crime that shocked both the scientific community and the general public. Their motivations remained shrouded in mystery—was it greed, ambition, or something deeper? As the stolen moon rocks found their way onto the black market, the FBI closed in, unraveling one of the most enigmatic crimes in modern US history. Tune in as Bailey walks us through Thad Roberts’ motivations, the planning of the crime, and its aftermath forming a gripping narrative of ambition, greed, and personal downfall.

On September 13, 2016, at 6:47am, Ohio's Ashland Police received a 911 call from a woman identified only as Jane Doe who whispered that she’d been kidnapped and was tied up mere feet away from her sleeping abductor. She tried to describe the man who was holding her captive and the house she was in but the best she could manage was that it was next to the Fourth Street laundromat. She spoke as quietly as she could to avoid waking her abductor: Shawn Grate. Little did Jane Doe know, Shawn Grate was a serial killer, and she was close to becoming his 6th victim.  Grate's killing spree spanned several years, during which he tortured, raped, and murdered multiple women. His depravity went undetected until Jane Doe’s 911 call, leading to his capture. Investigators uncovered a gruesome trail of death, revealing a man who preyed on the weak and reveled in control over his victims. Described as a "charming monster," Grate’s actions shocked the nation, as the depth of his cruelty and sadistic tendencies became clear. Hang out with us as we explore how a 911 call caught a serial killer and discuss the amazing people who are the voices behind 911. Tune in on Friday 9/13 where Chelsea and Bailey interview a real-life miracle worker, Lindzee, a 911 operator. Learn what it is like on the other side of a 911 call.

Leigh Ann and John Sabine were an enigmatic couple whose lives were cloaked in mystery, and whose story ultimately unraveled in the most chilling of ways. John and Leigh Ann sought fame and financial successes over caring for their children; often up and moving on a whim and leaving a wake of destruction behind them wherever they went. Leigh Ann, an unsuccessful cabaret singer with a charismatic demeanor, seemed to weave a web of stories around her life. After his disappearance, Leigh Ann often spoke of her husband, John, but these tales were inconsistent, filled with peculiar details that raised more questions than answers. For 18 years, Leigh Ann continued her life with an eerie calm, until her death from brain cancer in 2015 when Leigh Ann’s horrifying secret came to light. The Sabine story is one of unanswered questions, a haunting puzzle that continues to evoke fascination and dread, long after the truth was unearthed.
