Velma Barfield- Death Row Granny
2026/05/02
In this chilling Part One of Storyteller, we dive into the haunting true story of Velma Barfield—later known as “Death Row Granny,” one of America’s most notorious female serial killers. What begins as a shocking phone call to a college student quickly unravels into a dark and disturbing past. When Ronnie Burke is told his mother will be arrested for murder, he has no idea the nightmare that’s about to unfold… or the role his own mother may have played. From Velma’s traumatic childhood in rural poverty—marked by abuse, fear, and survival—to her seemingly perfect marriage and family life, this episode explores the early years that shaped a killer. But everything changes after a life-altering surgery in the 1960s, when addiction, personality shifts, and prescription drugs begin to take hold. As her family life crumbles under the weight of Valium dependency, alcoholism, and emotional turmoil, tragedy strikes in a deadly house fire that leaves more questions than answers. Was it truly an accident… or the beginning of something far more sinister? This is only the beginning. In Part One, we uncover the origins of a woman who would later become one of the first women executed in the United States after the reinstatement of the death penalty—and the disturbing path that led her there. 🔪 True crime, dark history, and psychological unraveling—this is a story you won’t forget. Follow Storyteller for Part Two, where the body count rises and the truth becomes impossible to ignore. ✨Follow us on Social Media✨ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@storyteller.pod⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠@StorytellerPod⁠⁠⁠ Facebook ⁠⁠⁠@Storyteller Podcast⁠⁠⁠ ✨⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠✨ If you enjoy the stories we tell and want to help us keep bringing them to life, you can support the podcast here: 🔗 ⁠⁠https://www.buzzsprout.com/2535436/support⁠⁠ Every contribution goes directly back into the show — from research and recording to editing and equipment.

America's First Serial Killer Family: The Bloody Benders
2026/04/20
Step into the lawless frontier of 1870s Kansas, where the promise of the American dream hid something far more sinister. Along the Osage Trail, travelers seeking food, rest, and refuge unknowingly stepped into a nightmare. In this episode of Storyteller, we uncover the chilling true story of the Bloody Benders—widely believed to be America’s first serial killer family. Operating a small homestead, inn, and general store in Labette County, the Benders lured unsuspecting victims with warm meals and a welcoming smile… before brutally murdering them and burying their bodies in a nearby orchard. From eerie séances and manipulation to a terrifying survivor’s escape and a growing list of missing travelers, the Benders’ crimes shocked a nation. But what makes this story even more haunting? They were never caught. Who were the Bender family, really? How did they evade justice? And what happened to them after they vanished without a trace? This is the story of Hell’s Half Acre—where hospitality turned deadly, and one family became a legend of true crime horror that still lingers more than 150 years later. ✨Follow us on Social Media✨ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@storyteller.pod⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠@StorytellerPod⁠⁠⁠ Facebook ⁠⁠⁠@Storyteller Podcast⁠⁠⁠ ✨⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠✨ If you enjoy the stories we tell and want to help us keep bringing them to life, you can support the podcast here: 🔗 ⁠⁠https://www.buzzsprout.com/2535436/support⁠⁠ Every contribution goes directly back into the show — from research and recording to editing and equipment.

Brad Cunningham is a Murdering D-Bag (Part Two)
2026/04/14
In Part 2 of this chilling true crime podcast series, we uncover the brutal murder of Cheryl Keeton and the long road to justice that finally exposed her killer, Bradley Morris Cunningham. After years of domestic violence, coercive control, narcissistic abuse, and psychological manipulation, Cheryl made the decision to leave her husband—a decision she feared would cost her life. On September 19, 1986, Cheryl was lured to a remote location under false pretenses. Hours later, her van was discovered drifting across a Portland freeway, and inside was a horrifying scene that would shock investigators: Cheryl had been brutally beaten to death. Despite overwhelming suspicion, the case against Bradley Cunningham was anything but simple. With no immediate forensic evidence, he evaded justice—continuing his pattern of manipulation, abuse, and control while starting new relationships and maintaining his facade. This episode dives deep into:  The night of Cheryl Keeton’s murder  The shocking crime scene on a Portland freeway  The investigation and lack of physical evidence  The wrongful death civil lawsuit that changed everything  Testimonies from former wives, girlfriends, and family members  The psychology of a serial abuser and manipulator  The chaotic 1994 trial where Cunningham represented himself  The final guilty verdict—8 years after the murder Through circumstantial evidence, survivor testimony, and a relentless pursuit of justice, this case became a landmark example of how patterns of abuse can ultimately expose a killer. This is more than a murder story—it’s a deep dive into domestic violence escalation, toxic relationships, and the warning signs of abuse that should never be ignored. ⚠️ Listener discretion advised: This episode contains graphic descriptions of violence and domestic abuse. ✨Follow us on Social Media✨ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@storyteller.pod⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠@StorytellerPod⁠⁠⁠ Facebook ⁠⁠⁠@Storyteller Podcast⁠⁠⁠ ✨⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠✨ If you enjoy the stories we tell and want to help us keep bringing them to life, you can support the podcast here: 🔗 ⁠⁠https://www.buzzsprout.com/2535436/support⁠⁠ Every contribution goes directly back into the show — from research and recording to editing and equipment.

Brad Cunningham is a Murdering D-Bag (Part One)
2026/03/31
In this chilling true crime podcast episode, we uncover the disturbing story of Bradley Morris Cunningham—a charming, wealthy manipulator whose pattern of abuse left a trail of broken women… and ultimately, murder.  Before the brutal killing of his fourth wife, Cheryl Keeton, there were warning signs—ignored, dismissed, or hidden behind his polished image. In Part 1 of this two-part series, Storyteller dives deep into Cunningham’s early life, toxic upbringing, and the shocking pattern of domestic violence, coercive control, psychological abuse, and manipulation that defined his relationships.  From his first marriage to Loni Ann Erickson—marked by escalating abuse and terrifying control—to his calculated relationships with wealthy women and vulnerable partners, Cunningham perfected a cycle: love bombing, isolation, financial exploitation, and terror.  You’ll hear how he:   Manipulated courts and custody battles  Abused and traumatized his wives and children  Built a facade of success while hiding financial ruin  Used charm and intimidation to control everyone around him  And how one woman—Cheryl Keeton—would tragically pay the ultimate price.   This episode is a deep dive into narcissistic abuse, domestic violence warning signs, and the psychology of serial abusers, setting the stage for the horrifying events that unfold in Part 2.   ⚠️ Listener discretion advised: This episode contains discussions of domestic violence and abuse. ✨Follow us on Social Media✨ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@storyteller.pod⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠@StorytellerPod⁠⁠⁠ Facebook ⁠⁠⁠@Storyteller Podcast⁠⁠⁠ ✨⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠✨ If you enjoy the stories we tell and want to help us keep bringing them to life, you can support the podcast here: 🔗 ⁠⁠https://www.buzzsprout.com/2535436/support⁠⁠ Every contribution goes directly back into the show — from research and recording to editing and equipment.

In this gripping episode of Storyteller, we uncover the incredible true story of Ona Judge, the enslaved woman who made a daring escape from none other than George Washington and his household in 1796. Born into slavery at Mount Vernon, Ona Judge was raised to serve Martha Washington as a personal maid—living in close proximity to power, wealth, and the founding of a nation built on “freedom.” But behind the image of America’s first family was a calculated system of control, exploitation, and legal manipulation designed to keep people like Ona enslaved. When Ona learned she was to be “gifted” as property to a volatile granddaughter, she made a life-altering decision: run. With the help of Philadelphia’s free Black community, Ona escaped—triggering a relentless manhunt led by the sitting president of the United States. What followed was a high-stakes pursuit involving deception, political pressure, and attempted capture under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. But Ona refused to be reclaimed. This episode dives deep into: The hidden realities of slavery inside the presidential householdHow Washington circumvented Pennsylvania abolition lawsThe bravery of enslaved women resisting sexual and physical exploitationAnd the extraordinary life Ona built after choosing freedom—at any costThis is not just American history—this is the story they didn’t teach you. ✨Follow us on Social Media✨ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@storyteller.pod⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠@StorytellerPod⁠⁠⁠ Facebook ⁠⁠⁠@Storyteller Podcast⁠⁠⁠ ✨⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠✨ If you enjoy the stories we tell and want to help us keep bringing them to life, you can support the podcast here: 🔗 ⁠⁠https://www.buzzsprout.com/2535436/support⁠⁠ Every contribution goes directly back into the show — from research and recording to editing and equipment.

Diane Downs- Part 2
2026/03/09
In Part Two of our three-part true crime series on Diane Downs, the story takes a darker and more obsessive turn. After the events of Part One, Diane’s life begins to spiral around a single obsession — a coworker named Nick Knickerbocker. What starts as a workplace affair quickly grows into something far more complicated, pulling multiple lives into a storm of manipulation, jealousy, and emotional chaos. As Diane moves from Arizona to Oregon, her fixation on Nick intensifies. Relationships fracture, tensions escalate, and the instability surrounding her life deepens. Behind the scenes, diary entries reveal an increasingly obsessive mindset, while those closest to her begin to see unsettling patterns in her behavior. Then one quiet spring night in 1983, everything changes. A frantic mother races to a hospital in Oregon claiming a stranger shot her children on a dark roadside. As investigators begin asking questions, small details in Diane’s story start to raise troubling doubts. In this episode, we explore the complicated relationships, emotional turmoil, and events leading directly to the night that would shock the nation.

Butte's Dimple Knees Sex Scandal
2026/02/23
Butte, Montana. The Berkeley Pit. The Copper Kings. And beneath it all — a city fueled by brothels, bribes, and backroom deals. In the 1960s, madam Beverly Snodgrass ran two of Butte’s most notorious houses of prostitution — until her affair with a powerful judge exposed a massive payoff scheme involving police officers, attorneys, and city officials. What followed was one of Montana’s biggest investigative journalism bombshells: the Great Falls Tribune’s explosive 8-part exposé that ignited a statewide anti-vice crusade. From 14 Wyoming Street to threats of assassination, from dynamite attacks to secret hotel registrations, this is the true story of Butte’s “Dimple Knees” sex scandal — and the woman who risked everything to blow the lid off corruption in Butte America. ✨Follow us on Social Media✨ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@storyteller.pod⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠@StorytellerPod⁠⁠⁠ Facebook ⁠⁠⁠@Storyteller Podcast⁠⁠⁠ ✨⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠✨ If you enjoy the stories we tell and want to help us keep bringing them to life, you can support the podcast here: 🔗 ⁠⁠https://www.buzzsprout.com/2535436/support⁠⁠ Every contribution goes directly back into the show — from research and recording to editing and equipment.

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 On Valentine’s Day 2013, Denise Leuthold spent the morning the way she always did — making a special holiday breakfast for her children, exchanging cards with her husband, and heading into an ordinary afternoon. Hours later, she would be found shot inside her home. At first, investigators believed a burglary had gone wrong. But inside the house, the scene didn’t add up — and a handwritten note uncovered in Denise’s planner would change the direction of the case entirely. As detectives dug deeper into the life of the devoted missionary couple, they uncovered a secret relationship, a carefully constructed alibi, and a motive chillingly tied to the holiday itself.

The Serial Killer They Let Go | Arthur Shawcross- The Genesee River Serial Killer
2026/02/02
🚨Trigger Warning/Disclaimer🚨 This episode discusses real events involving extreme violence, sexual assault, and crimes against children. Some material may be deeply disturbing. This story is told to examine systemic failures and honor the victims — not to glorify the perpetrator.  Please take care while listening. Arthur Shawcross—also known as the Genesee River Killer—was convicted of murdering two children in 1972. After serving just fourteen years, he was declared “rehabilitated,” his criminal record sealed, and quietly released back into society without notifying local police. Less than a year later, women began disappearing along the Genesee River in Rochester, New York. Over the next two years, Shawcross murdered twelve women before finally being caught standing over the body of one of his victims. This episode examines not only Shawcross’s crimes, but the systemic failures that allowed a known child killer to walk free—and kill again. From ignored psychiatric warnings to sealed records and institutional denial, this is a case study in how monsters slip through the cracks. ✨Follow us on Social Media✨ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@storyteller.pod⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠@StorytellerPod⁠⁠⁠ Facebook ⁠⁠⁠@Storyteller Podcast⁠⁠⁠ ✨⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠✨ If you enjoy the stories we tell and want to help us keep bringing them to life, you can support the podcast here: 🔗 ⁠⁠https://www.buzzsprout.com/2535436/support⁠⁠ Every contribution goes directly back into the show — from research and recording to editing and equipment.

The Bitter Blood Murders- Part 4
2026/01/19
In the final episode of Bitter Blood, the violence that has been building beneath the surface finally erupts — leaving devastation in its wake. Part 4 examines the murders that shocked the South, the investigation that unraveled years of secrecy, and the desperate final acts of Susie Lynch and Fritz Klenner as their carefully controlled world collapsed. What began as resentment, paranoia, and shared belief escalated into a calculated series of killings spanning multiple families and generations. As law enforcement closed in, the couple’s conviction that they were justified — and untouchable — led to one final, horrifying decision that would claim the lives of innocent children. This episode confronts the cost of silence, the danger of unchecked power, and the devastating consequences of confusing reputation with virtue. Bitter Blood is not just a story about murder. It is a story about what happens when no one intervenes — until it’s too late. 🎙️ This concludes the four-part Bitter Blood series. New listeners are strongly encouraged to begin with Part 1. ✨Follow us on Social Media✨ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@storyteller.pod⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠@StorytellerPod⁠⁠⁠ Facebook ⁠⁠⁠@Storyteller Podcast⁠⁠⁠ ✨⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠✨ If you enjoy the stories we tell and want to help us keep bringing them to life, you can support the podcast here: 🔗 ⁠⁠https://www.buzzsprout.com/2535436/support⁠⁠ Every contribution goes directly back into the show — from research and recording to editing and equipment.

The Bitter Blood Murders- Part 3
2026/01/19
In Part 3 of Bitter Blood, the lines between belief and behavior begin to disappear. This episode explores the marriage between Susie Sharp and Fritz Klenner — and how two deeply ingrained worldviews fused into something far more dangerous than either could have created alone. Susie was raised inside privilege, reputation, and rigid expectations. Fritz was raised under absolute authority, ideological extremism, and a belief in his own superiority. Together, they formed a closed system built on paranoia, resentment, and mutual reinforcement. Rather than challenging one another, Susie and Fritz validated each other’s fears. Minor slights became major threats. Disagreements became betrayals. Outsiders became enemies. Part 3 examines how isolation, shared grievance, and unchecked certainty can turn ordinary conflicts into justification for violence — long before a single crime is committed. This is the episode where warning signs become impossible to ignore. Because before the bloodshed…  before the investigation…  before the bodies… There was agreement. 🎙️ Bitter Blood is a four-part series. Listeners are strongly encouraged to begin with Parts 1 and 2. ✨Follow us on Social Media✨ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@storyteller.pod⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠@StorytellerPod⁠⁠⁠ Facebook ⁠⁠⁠@Storyteller Podcast⁠⁠⁠ ✨⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠✨ If you enjoy the stories we tell and want to help us keep bringing them to life, you can support the podcast here: 🔗 ⁠⁠https://www.buzzsprout.com/2535436/support⁠⁠ Every contribution goes directly back into the show — from research and recording to editing and equipment.
