Paige's week!  We're sorry it's another late one but this week, we're talking about Rattlesnake James. Born Major Raymond Lisenba, he is another bluebeard (dude version of a black widow) that Paige is covering. This piece of garbage has three victims, and they're all in the name of insurance fraud; Winona Wallace, Cornelius Wright (his nephew), and Mary Busch. He has that nickname for a reason and you'll have to listen to find out!

Payton's week! Whew. This one is a rough one to hear, but we're talking about the incredibly tragic murder of 4 year old Derrick Robie, who was murdered by 13 year old Eric Smith. Eric has been released from prison as of 2022, and with that, we thought that we would revisit the case to discuss the gray area of convicting minors, but mainly to remember Derrick. We discuss the murder from 25:58 - 30:18 for anyone who doesn't want to listen.

Paige's week! It was a long time coming but we finally have a part two of our Catacombs, Coffins, and Bones, Oh My! In this episode Paige goes a little ossuary heavy but they're all awesome, so it's fine. Today we are talking about the St. Paul's Catacombs in Matla, the Brno Ossuary in Czech Republic, the San Bernardino Alle Ossa in Italy, the Capela dos Ossos in Portugal and finally the Skull Chapel in Poland. If you aren't one of our Patreons, we will be posting the pictures we talk about on our Facebook page so be sure to check that out!

Payton's week! Well guys, we thought we would lighten things up with another installment of pet cemeteries! Today we discuss 2 pet cemeteries with a theme: England! We talk about Hyde Park's secret pet cemetery and the PDSA Pet Cemetery in Ilford.  The link to purchase Eric Touringy's article, “Do all dogs go to heaven?

Paige week again!   It's been a long road but we're finally here, guys, the finale of Israel Keyes. This episode is a little chaotic and looooong but hang in there. Israel gives the names of Bill and Lorraine Currier, a couple out of Essex, Vermont. We talk about what happened with them from their kidnapping, to their murders. There is one more victim named who is Debra Feldman. We also go through some of Keyes' bank robberies and then finally to his death. In remembrance of the confirmed victims of Israel Keyes Samantha Koenig Bill Currier Lorraine Currier Debra Feldman

Paige's week!   Today we're bringing you part 3 of Israel Keyes, but don't worry, next week will be the finale! This time we talk about Keyes' side of the story of what happened with Samantha. After he tells his story, the investigators weren't convinced that Samantha was his first victim, and their suspicions were right when he starts hinting at other victims.

Another Paige week! This week for part two of Israel Keyes, we don't actually talk about him very much. We are focusing on Samantha Koenig and her abduction, leading up to Israel's arrest. This is really just a look of what he is capable of and you haven't even heard the worst of it. To hear Israel's side of the story, check in next week for part 3!

Paige's week! So sorry for our continued hiatus but for at least the next four weeks your going to get episodes because this is just part 1 of 4! Paige did a deep dive into the serial killer that nobody has heard of, Israel Keyes. In this episode the only thing that we get into his the bizarre way that Israel was raised until adulthood. Remember some of the things that are mentioned in this episode because certain things he ends up doing won't make sense unless you remember them from this episode. Watch out for part two next week!

Payton's week!   Sorry about the late upload guys, but we gave you a long one to make up for it! We cover the Hinterkaifeck murders in this episode. These very gruesome murders occurred on March 31, 1922 in a very small and isolated community around the town of Kaifeck in Germany. Five members of the Gruber family and their brand new maid, Maria, were all brutally murdered by an unknown assailant. This year will mark the 100th anniversary of this tragedy and there has never been anyone convicted for it.

Paige's week! Strap in guys, this is a long one. We ended it in just two. In this episode we talk about Chester's arrest and trial and all of the aftermath of it all. There's honestly too much to talk about for the show notes so you'll just have to listen to find out what all happened. We want to know your thoughts, though. Send us an email or contact us on Facebook to tell us your thoughts!

Paige's week! Today Paige brings another true crime tale that hits a little too close to home. She talks about three friends-Lillian Oetting, Mildred Lindquist and Frances Murphy-who went on a little vacation to Starved Rock State Park in LaSalle County, Illinois who were murdered on their first hike, the day they arrived at the park. In Part 1, we only get as far as naming a suspect but you can already feel that this investigation is not up to par. Keep an eye out next week for Part 2!

Payton's week! This week is a strange one. This is the unsolved murder of Artemus Ogletree. This 1935 brutal murder happened at he Hotel President in Kansas City, Missouri. It's been over 80 years since his death, and while many have theories about what happened to Artemus, the truth remains a total mystery.
