Elizabeth Bathory is the most prolific female serial killer in all of history if the accounts are to be believed.

Not only did she torture and murder 650 victims but also helped give birth to Vampire lore alongside other historical figures like Vlad the Impaler.

As with all cases of this age facts are not 100% believable and there is so much legend and myth added on the top over the hundreds of years since the events. That being said me and Heather dive into what we know to be true and how we have verified it.

We also explore the more recent theories that Elizabeth Bathory was actually innocent and rather than being a vicious killer as portrayed in the history books. May have been a strong independent woman with huge wealth an power that simply did not sit well with the men of the time.

Whatever you decide to believe this episode gives insight into some horrific crimes, the urban legends that followed and offers a modern day reflection on one of the most powerful women in the whole of European history

Armin Meiwes is a man the likes of which we have never covered on this podcast. His story is one that is both horrifying and also intriguing.

A cannibal who murdered and ate a single victim but at the victims request is not s standard case. Neither is the "Cannibal Club" that formed shortly after the events that unfolded in 2001.

This case is one that will stick with you for it's seer absurd nature and brutality but also makes you wonder what sort of a person would willingly allow this to happen to themselves.

We are back with another episode voted for by you!

This time a dive into our first Canadian serial killer with Robert Pickton (The Pig Farm Killer).

Pickton was convicted of 6 murders but it is confirmed that he committed many more. Find out about his crimes and why he didn't get jailtime for all of them.

We also discuss the dangers of addiction and analyse the performance of the Canadian police department in this case. (Spoilers, they did not do a good job!)

Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments or send us an audio DM on X or Insta to hear your voice on the air.

After what feels like an eternity we are back! Both me and Heather want to thank those of you who have hung around and waited for our return and also say welcome to anyone discovering us for the first time today.

For this first case back in a twist of events I picked a case as this one particularly interested me. One because Samuel Little is the most prolific serial killer in the history of the United States with 50 confirmed victims and 43 further murder confessions. Secondly no one knows who he is or seems to have heard of him, he holds none of the gravitas of Bundy, Gein or Dahmer and I think that is an interesting thing to look at.

In this episode we also see the debut of some new features like "Safety Tip" and "The MO" but also the return of the interactive side of the show that we have both missed so much.

So get comfy and enjoy a conversation about Samuel Little the least know, most prolific killer

This was a hard episode to put together and a real candid explanation of where we are, where we are going and why sometimes family and mental wellbeing come above everything else.

This case was one I never thought would appear on the show. In truth after watching the dramatization I wasn't sure it even had enough too it to fill an entire episode.

Thankfully Heather talked me around and this case made the show because it is one of the most interesting and disturbing cases ever.

Rodney was not like most other serial killers and fitted almost seamlessly into society which I think I what makes him so terrifying.

In this episode we not only bring you the section of his crimes from around the time he took part in The Dating Game but also the laundry list of crimes he committed prior.

As always we would love to hear your thoughts on this case.

In November of 2010 Jennifer Pan was one of the residents during a home invasion. The other people in the property were her parents, her mother lost her life and her father was left in a coma.

Initially police thought this was a robbery gone wrong but little did they know this was the result of a planned assassination orchestrated by Jennifer to obtain her inheritance and some social freedom.

This is a very difficult case to discuss without having an opinion which is good because that is what we do hear.

As always we welcome your thoughts and you can contact us in numerous ways which we share in the episode.

This time both me and Heather struggle to get through this horrific case.

James Bulger suffered more than any child should ever have to and his family were repeatedly failed by the UK justice system.

there are no words that can really describe how this case effected us but i would advise caution when listening as this is almost impossible to talk about without getting heated opinions,

This time we conclude our discussion on these horrific crimes.

We will continue to go through the living conditions in the home, the final few murders and the events that transpired after Fred's initial arrest.

This episode is not for the faint of heart.

Heather willed this episode into reality saying we should probably cover it and had instant regret when we started talking about it.

The case of Fred & Rose west is arguably one of the worst and most disturbing cases in the history of the world.

The acts committed by these two monsters span decades and will need to be covered across multiple episodes.

Listener caution is advised
