Lizzie Borden: The Real Story Behind Netflix's Monster
2026/09/17
Lizzie Borden: The Real Story Behind Netflix's Monster  Lizzie Borden has been one of America's most infamous murder suspects for more than 130 years. On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally murdered inside their home in Fall River, Massachusetts. Their daughter Lizzie was eventually arrested, tried, and acquitted — but the questions surrounding that shocking case have never truly disappeared. Now, with Netflix bringing the Lizzie Borden story back into the spotlight with Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, Pure Malice takes a fresh look at the real events behind one of history's most notorious murder cases. What actually happened inside the Borden house that morning? Where was Lizzie when her father and stepmother were killed? Why did her answers change? What did the household servants see and hear? And what did witnesses like Bridget Sullivan, John Morse, Alice Russell, and Dr. Seabury Bowen tell investigators? In this episode, we go beyond the familiar "40 whacks" story and dig into the details that can get lost in the legend — the inquest, the investigation, Lizzie's conflicting accounts, the physical evidence, the circumstances surrounding the murders, and the testimony that would eventually become part of the prosecution's case. We'll also take a closer look at the world Lizzie lived in: Victorian mourning customs, Fall River society, the Borden family home, and the strange circumstances surrounding the days leading up to and immediately following the murders. More than a century later, the question remains: Did we ever really know what happened inside the Borden house? The legend of Lizzie Borden has been told countless times. This time, we're going back to the evidence, the testimony, and the historical record — and taking a fresh look at a classic case. This is the real story behind Lizzie Borden, Part 1.
The Killer Clown | The Case of Marlene Warren
2026/08/21
The 1990 murder of Marlene Warren, known as the Killer Clown Murder, remains one of Florida's most bizarre and haunting true crime cases. When a clown carrying flowers and balloons appeared at the Warren's Wellington, Florida doorstep, no one could have imagined the horror waiting behind the painted smile. Marlene opened the door expecting a surprise. Instead, she was confronted by a killer who would disappear behind a costume and leave behind a mystery that would span over decades. In this episode of Pure Malice, we take a closer look at the murder of Marlene Warren, the strange clues surrounding the crime, the people closest to her, and the investigation that took decades to solve.... But this case is about more than a terrifying disguise. There were secrets hiding beneath the surface.... A trail of evidence eventually brought this infamous Florida cold case back into the spotlight. The Killer Clown Murder is one of those true crime cases where the closer you look, the stranger it becomes. 🎙️ Remember... it's not just true crime.

The Lake Waco Murders: A Local Nightmare, Part 5
2026/08/03
In the final chapter of our Lake Waco Murders series, we return to the questions that have followed this case for decades. What happened to evidence that may still have held answers? Why did certain leads fade while others became the foundation of the prosecution's story? And what do you do when the legal system says a case is over, but the facts still refuse to feel settled? Years after Jill Montgomery, Raylene Rice, and Kenneth Franks were murdered near Lake Waco, people connected to the case were still searching for clarity. Advances in DNA testing seemed capable of reopening doors that had once been closed, but gaining access to the evidence brought a new set of complications. Even the location, condition, and control of key items became part of the mystery. Then there are the details that seem almost impossible to explain away. A vehicle once linked to the case followed a strange path after the trials. Was this a solved triple murder surrounded by decades of controversy? Or did tunnel vision, unreliable forensic science, and missed opportunities shape the outcome from the beginning? Join us for the conclusion of Pure Malice's five-part Lake Waco Murders deep dive. This final episode explores the unresolved evidence, wrongful-conviction claims, alternate theories, and legal barriers that continue to make the murders of Jill Montgomery, Raylene Rice, and Kenneth Franks one of the most debated true crime cases in Waco, Texas. We also highlight the work of the Innocence Project of Texas and share the missing person case of Justin Weldon O'Brien, who disappeared from Waco in 2002. Because even after decades, one overlooked detail can still matter. 🎙️ Remember... it's not just true crime.

The Lake Waco Murders: A Local Nightmare | Part 4
2026/06/16
The Lake Waco Murders case reaches its most explosive chapter yet. In Episode 4 of Pure Malice: The Lake Waco Murders, we follow the unraveling of one of Texas's most controversial murder prosecutions. After teaching himself the law from death row, Muneer Deeb accomplishes what few inmates ever have—successfully overturning his own conviction and winning a new trial. Meanwhile, David Spence's legal team uncovers allegations of Brady violations, recanting witnesses, questionable jailhouse informant testimony, and growing concerns about the forensic evidence that helped send him to death row. As retrials and appeals move forward, key witnesses begin backing away from their original statements, law enforcement officials voice doubts about the convictions, and independent experts challenge the bite mark evidence that remained central to the state's case. Yet despite mounting questions, David Spence remains on death row as the clock toward execution continues ticking. The episode also explores the murder of Juanita White, Detective Jan Price's relentless pursuit of the truth, and the DNA evidence that ultimately identified Benny Carroll as her killer years after innocent men had been convicted. As old investigations are reexamined, troubling questions emerge about tunnel vision, prosecutorial conduct, wrongful convictions, and whether the search for justice was overshadowed by the need to secure convictions. From overturned convictions and death row appeals to DNA breakthroughs and lingering suspicions, this chapter reveals how far-reaching the consequences can be when the truth remains hidden for decades. 🎙️ Remember... it's not just true crime.

The Spirits of Eastern State Penitentiary | Part 1
2026/06/10
In this chilling episode, we unlock the iron gates of one of America’s most infamous and haunted prisons — Eastern State Penitentiary. Once a revolutionary model for reform, this massive Gothic fortress in Philadelphia quickly became a house of horror, where isolation broke more than just spirits.

We dive deep into the prison’s dark history, the notorious inmates who walked its halls — including Al Capone — and the countless unexplained phenomena that continue to haunt its crumbling corridors. Join us as we explore the history, eyewitness accounts, chilling recordings, and the psychological torment embedded in its stone walls. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode will leave you questioning what really lingers behind the bars of this decaying institution. Lock in — and listen close.

The Texas Killing Fields | Part 1
2026/06/10
Along a desolate stretch of I-45 between Houston and Galveston lies a haunting landscape known as the Texas Killing Fields—a place where dozens of young women vanished, and many never came home. In this episode of Pure Malice, we peel back the layers of this chilling case. From the discovery of the first bodies in the 1970s to the more recent breakthroughs, we examine the victims, the suspects, and the long-standing failures of law enforcement that allowed a predator—or predators—to continue killing.

In this episode, we dive into the timeline, the autopsy inconsistencies, and the chilling questions that still surround the case. Was it really an accident… or something far more sinister?

The Vanishing Triangle | Part 1
2026/06/10
The Vanishing Triangle is one of Ireland’s most haunting unsolved mysteries. In the 1990's, a series of women disappeared from an area in eastern Ireland that would later become known as the Vanishing Triangle. They left behind families, communities, unanswered questions, and a mystery that still casts a long shadow decades later. In this episode of Pure Malice, we walk through the timeline of the Vanishing Triangle disappearances, the women at the center of the cases, the chilling similarities between their stories, and the theories that have followed this mystery for years. Despite searches, investigations, media attention, and countless questions, the disappearances remain unsolved. Were these cases connected? Was there one predator moving through Ireland in the 1990s? Or were these separate tragedies that became linked by geography, fear, and the silence left behind? This is a case filled with missing pieces, haunting patterns, and families still waiting for answers. What really happened to the women of the Vanishing Triangle?

The Greenbrier Ghost
2026/06/10
The Greenbrier Ghost is one of the strangest true crime and paranormal cases in American history. In 1897, a young woman named Zona Heaster Shue was found dead in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, under circumstances that didn’t sit right with her family. At first, her death seemed like a tragic loss. But then Zona’s mother, Mary Jane Heaster, claimed her daughter came to her from beyond the grave with a message: she had been murdered. In this episode of Pure Malice, we dive into the eerie true story of The Greenbrier Ghost, a case where true crime and the paranormal collide in a way that still fascinates people more than a century later. We walk through Zona’s suspicious death, the strange behavior surrounding her body, the investigation that followed, the 1800s coroner’s jury process, and the mother who refused to let her daughter’s voice be buried with her. Was Mary Jane Heaster really visited by Zona’s ghost? Was her vision the key to exposing the truth? Or did a grieving mother notice what everyone else had missed and use the supernatural to force people to listen? This is the story of The Greenbrier Ghost, a haunting West Virginia murder case where justice may have come from beyond the grave. 🎙️ When true crime isn't enough... we cross into the unknown. 📌 Don’t forget to: 💬 Comment and tell us your thoughts about the case. 🔔 Follow for more true crime & paranormal deep dives. © 2025 Pure Malice/Nix.
