S02E17: The Gruesome Murder of Nicole ‘Niki’ Perry released today at 5AM EST

In November of 2020, 31-year-old Nicole "Niki" Perry and her fiance, Randall Fulghum were living in a small, crowded, garage on the 300 block of West Harlan Avenue in San Antonio, Texas that had been turned into a makeshift home for transients owned by "Gizmo" and his girlfriend, Vanessa Vargas. This location was a known drug house and had been the site of several drug busts in the past. Niki had been known to be "mouthy" and could be rude at times, and during this particular time period, she had been struggling to cope with the recent death of her father when an argument ensued between her and her fiance in front of 26-year-old known Texas Mexican gang member, Rafael Castillo. What Castillo did to "quell" Niki's "disrespect" is monstrous and will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it.

S2E15: Coercive Control: The Devastating Murders of Hannah Clarke and Her Three Children released at 5 AM EST on July 12th.
This case bothered me worse than any I’ve researched in a long time for some reason.

A kind and beautiful, Hannah Clarke, met former New Zealand Rugby player, Rowan Baxter, in 2008 when she was just 19-years-old and he, 30-years old. The pair fell in love and were married in 2012, and then came the arrival of their three beautiful children, Aaliyah, Laianah, and Trey Baxter. Their relationship; however, was not a normal, loving relationship as Rowan had severe issues with verbally, mentally, emotionally, and even on a few occasions, physically abusing Hannah and the children. Rowan had to have control of every aspect of Hannah's life, and eventually, she became exhausted by this and decided to leave with the children, moving back into her parents' home but fearing Rowan was going to eventually end up killing her. She had even asked her mom how to obtain a will and told her friends "I know in my heart he's going to kill me."
On February 19, 2020, Rowan enacted a devastating plan to end the lives of Hannah, his three children, and himself on a suburban street in Queensland, Australia.

S02E13: The Troubled Friendship of Two Davids- The Body in the Bag Killer released at 5 AM (EST) on June 28th.. and I forgot to post it here.

On July 3, 2012, a group of students vacationing on Portsmouth Beach in Southsea, England discovered something wrapped in a pink shower curtain and trash bags on the rocks of the beach. It was determined that the item in question was the dismembered torso of 30-year-old David Guy. Three days later, David's pelvis and legs were also located on the beach. On July 8, 2012, a confused, disheveled, and dirty 47-year-old David Hilder appeared at a police station claiming he thinks he had killed someone. After all, David Hilder had been in a rocky, violent friendship with David Guy. This case was solved in an unexpected way with the aid of a few small cat hairs found on the shower curtain that contained Guy's torso.

S02E14: The Independence Day Murders of Sue and Melinda Marshel releases July 5th at 5:00 AM EST

On July 5, 1995, a citizen of Wayne City, Illinois called to report a mid 1980s, green Oldsmobile had been submerged nose-deep in a local pond. Police went to investigate and discovered a bloody scene. Blood had been smeared on one of the car's tail lights and filled the floor pans. A piece of wooden furring was holding the accelerator pedal and bloody hand prints were found inside the trunk along with .32 caliber shell casings. Meanwhile, 38-year-old Sue and her 13-year-old daughter Melinda Marshel had been missing, with their family highly worried as they had not shown up to the family's annual July 4th celebration. While Sue had pending Co***ne possession charges and was working with the police to catch a drug dealer, her family did not believe this was the cause for her disappearance.
Sue had five ex-husbands, and police began interviewing them when her most recent ex-husband, Niels Nielsen was swiftly identified as being a person of interest due to his lies, odd demeanor, and previous convictions. On July 6th, fishermen found a floating duffel bag containing the charred remains of Sue and Melinda in a pond just one mile from where Sue's submerged car had been located. The search for further evidence to connect Niels to their murders and concealment was on.

I found this case interesting and sickeningly selfish but I do enjoy learning about old cases..

Michael Malloy “Iron Mike”, “Rasputin of the Bronx” or “Mike the Durable” was a firefighter from county Donegal, Ireland who lived on the streets in New York after falling on hard times in the 1920s and 30s. During the Depression and the time during the last year of prohibition in 1933, a bar owner, Tony Marino and four others (Joseph “Red” Murphy, Francis Pasqua, Hershey Green, and Daniel Kriesberg) decided to “befriend” Michael Malloy as he was a frequenter of the bar due to being fond of the bottle during his hard times. They had planned to take out three life insurance policies on Mike and get him to drink himself to death so they could collect the $3500 ($60,000 in today’s money). They figured since Mike looked old and rough that it wouldn’t take long for him to die. After all, Tony had done this to a regular customer before. He took out policies on a homeless lady who frequented his speakeasy and got her so drunk she signed him as the beneficiary unknowingly. He force fed her alcohol, stripped her naked, and placed her ice water soaked mattress under a window. She died of bronchial pneumonia and he collected $2500.
Tony told Mike he could drink all he wanted for no charge. When Mike was drunk one night, Marino handed him a paper saying it was a petition to get himself elected to local office. Mike signed but it was actually a life insurance paper to make Tony the beneficiary. The gang realized Mike wasn’t dying fast enough as he could down alcohol all day and night and be fine, so they replaced his alcohol with antifreeze, then turpentine and rat poison but Mike still was alive. Eventually, they soaked oysters in Whiskey, made him a sandwich of carpet tacks and sardines and then stripped him naked, threw him in the snow and doused his face and chest with cold water, but none of this killed him. They even paid a taxi driver to run Mike over at 45mph and back over him. He disappeared for three weeks but then showed up again at the bar. The group decided to wait for him to pass out. They carried him to Tony’s room, stuck a gas pipe down his throat, and poured gas into it until he stopped breathing which took about an hour. His cause of death was listed as pneumonia , most likely by a doctor they had paid off, and they made off with their life insurance money. Word spread around town that Mike, who had repeatedly cheated death had now died under suspicious circumstances. His body was exhumed and forensically examined and his real cause of death was determined. The five men had also been squabbling about how to split the insurance money which soon drew more attention. The five men were arrested and put on trial. All were sentenced to death except Hershey Green who received life imprisonment. The other four were executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison in New York.

S02E12: The Unsolved Chen Family Murders

A fairly short episode releases at 5 AM on June 21st. It is short due to the lack of information regarding these cases. I also am sorry for any background noises. My dogs would not leave my side for the duration of my recording as I have been dealing with some tough personal things lately.
In 2000, Jin Chen and his wife, Hai Yan Li moved to a suburb in Albany, New York known as Guilderland from Houjo, Fujian province off the southeastern coast of mainland China. In New York, Jin was given a job at his relatives' restaurant, The King's Wok. The Chens decided to start a family in 2004, with the birth of their first son, Anthony, and then a second son, Edward (Eddy) in 2007. On Thursday, October 5, 2014, Jin did not show up for work and had not called to say he was not coming in. When coworkers and relatives went to check on Jin and his family, they discovered all four family members had been murdered. Language barriers and fears from community members have made this case difficult to investigate, and almost 700 leads have lead investigators to the Chinese mafia and human trafficking rings, but the case remains unsolved.
Two other cases have been thought to be related to the murders of the Chen family, the case involving the murder of three Chinese family members in 2011 in D'Iberville, Mississippi and a case in 2014 involving the murder of four Chinese family members in Harris County, Texas. The D'Iberville case has yet to be solved, but the case in Texas has since been solved and is said to be unrelated.

S02E11: Junko Furuta’s 44 Day Nightmare

Junko Furuta, a 17-year-old student living in Misato, Saitama Prefecture, Japan was beautiful, popular, and a great student who her friends endearingly called 'Jun-Chan'. Junko did not smoke, drink, or participate in any "bad teenage behavior" which is why she was often called a good girl. Her beauty and kindness unfortunately caught the eye of the school bully, 18-year-old Hiroshi Miyano. When Hiroshi asked Junko on a date, she politely declined, and did not realize this would ultimately lead to her final 44 days of life involving the most horrendous, inhumane torture. Hiroshi and his friend, Nobuharu Minato devised a plan to kidnap Junko as she was biking home from work. They captured her, and four friends (Hiroshi Miyano, Nobuharu Minato, Jo Ogura, and Yasushi Watanabe) held her hostage for 44 days at Minato's parents' vacation home before finally being murdered. The suffering Junko endured at the hands of these four boys and others was so cruel that it's hard to fathom how four teenage boys, let alone any monster, could dream up and enact such a plan.

S02E10: Manchester’s Most Notorious: The Torture and Murder of Kelly Anne Bates is out now! This is the second in a series of cases that keep me up at night

On April 16, 1996, 48-year-old James Patterson Smith reported to his local police station in Manchester, England to report that he had "accidentally" killed his girlfriend during an argument when she drowned in the bathtub. When police reported to his home, they discovered his 17-year-old girlfriend's naked, dead body lying in a bedroom and her blood all throughout his home. It was clear this was no accident. Kelly Anne had met James when she was only 14-years-old and began a relationship with him, then 45-years old, unaware of his horrifically abusive past. The pathologist tasked with examining and autopsying her body concluded that she had over 150 separate wounds showing a month's worth of severe torture in the last weeks of her life. James had starved Kelly, denied her water, and tied her to furniture and a radiator by her hair or neck ligatures, even gouging out her eyes 5 days to 3 weeks before her death. This is one of the worst, most notorious torture murders in British history.

I was going to do a pod on this but it broke my heart so extremely bad that I can’t even watch the videos again.
60-year-old Lisa Edwards moved to Rhode Island from Tennessee to a nursing home in 2018. She had a prior stroke in 2019 that left her disabled and in a wheelchair. She also suffered from COPD, needing an inhaler. On February 4, 2023, Lisa was on a flight from Rhode Island to Knoxville, TN when she began having severe abdominal pain and had to be transported to Blount Memorial hospital in TN after he plane landed. The hospital claimed she was simply constipated and discharged her even though she knew she was not okay and needed help desperately. She went to another hospital, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. This hospital also discharged her, kicking her out to be left sitting in her wheelchair outside. The hospital claimed she was fine and causing a disturbance so security kept forcing her to leave or she would be arrested; however, she repeatedly said something was wrong and she needed help. She also couldn’t leave on her own due to her being in a wheel chair. They phoned Knoxville police officers who came to arrest her. Four officers, Brandon Wardlaw, Adam Barnett, Timothy Distasio, and Danny Dugan brought a police transport van to place her under arrest and transport her with but they could not load her into the van nor could she walk. They repeatedly neglected her cries for help and abused her, even going so far as to make fun of her weight, say she was faking her condition, and one officer even asking if the other officers needed Lysol spray after touching her. Brandon Wardlaw, a sergeant stated at one point “Listen to me! This is the lord’s day. All I want to do is get some coffee and some oatmeal. I’m not going to deal with your mess this morning.” The officers repeatedly let Lisa stumble and even fall on the pavement, refusing to even help her pull up her pants or get her inhaler at times. She begged for help, saying she was going to die but the abuse continued until a cruiser was brought. She was thrown in the back, laying on her back with no help or way to sit up. This is a bad position for someone with COPD struggling to breathe. When officers threw Lisa into their cruiser on her back, the driver of the cruiser, Distasio, stopped for a traffic stop. When he returned to his cruiser, Lisa was unresponsive. He thought she was faking it, kept telling her to wake up, and even grabbed her by her hair and pulled her head back. She was transported to the same hospital she was kicked out of and declared dead on February 6. “The District Attorney’s office said in a press release that Edwards died of natural causes, specifically from an “ischemic stroke due to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.” The autopsy report also mentioned that hypertensive cardiovascular disease, morbid obesity, chronic alcohol abuse, acute bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease significantly contributed to her death.”- Knox News. Now, where is her Justice? They call this Justice? These men still have their jobs and are free to treat others this way and kill them. This woman could have survived had they taken her back into the hospital instead of arresting her. People survive strokes every day and she had previously, but no, they blame her for her death due to her obesity and lifestyle. This is disgusting!! Probably the angriest I’ve been over a case in a long time.

S02E09: Sylvia Likens and the Baniszewski house of horrors releases at 5:00 AM EST on May 31.
In the 1960s, Sylvia Likens lived in southern Boone County, Indiana with her family who struggled financially, which consisted of her father, Lester Likens, mother Betty Likens, two older twins, Dianna and Danny, and two younger twins, Benny and Jenny. Their father made arrangements for Sylvia and Jenny to live with Gertrude Baniszewski while he went away to work for the carnival but Lester had not known the home’s condition or Gertrude’s wicked ways when he left his daughters. What would happen during the months of June 1965 to October 1965 consist of unspeakable horrors which Sylvia and Jenny endured. Sylvia being punished far worse, enduring unimaginable torture by not only the Baniszewskis but other neighborhood children. Some say it is due to Gertrude and her oldest daughter, Paula's jealousy of Sylvia coupled with Gertrude not receiving on time payment from the Likens but nothing that Sylvia ever could have done would make her deserving of this torture, and ultimately, horrific death.
Since then, the Likens family has been plagued by a series of tragedies, and this case is one that will never be forgotten in Indiana.

I have been compiling my two new episodes of the “cases that keep me up at night.” These are two cases, that while old, have bothered me ever since I heard about them. Every true crime fan or researcher has that case or two that they just can’t stop thinking about or looking into because they are so brutal, mysterious, or twisted. The two cases that bother me are ones that I believe bother me because they involve extensive torture on two very young girls that absolutely did not deserve the fates they were handed. Stay tuned!

S02E07: The Freeman Family Massacre

Brenda and Dennis Freeman were peaceful, quiet Jehovah's Witnesses who had planned to raise their three sons to be just the same. They wanted their boys to grow up in their faith and be good citizens..but who doesn't want their kids to be good people? This changed when two of their sons, Bryan Freeman and David
Freeman chose to denounce their faith and become involved with Neo-Nazism after discovering it and being intrigued by it at a rehabilitation facility they were sent to at ages 12 and 13 due to drug and alcohol use. The boys were not shy about their beliefs, dressing in camo pants, doc marten combat boots, shaving their heads, and even displaying their beliefs across their heads and necks by the way of tattoos expressing their hatred. It was known that the boys caused trouble at school and at home, but not known by many just how bad Brenda and Dennis struggled to help their sons. Eventually, on February 26, 1995, the two boys at ages 16 and 17, along with their 18-year-old cousin, Nelson Birdwell III committed the ultimate act of violence toward Brenda, Dennis, and Brian and David's 11-year-old brother, Erik by bludgeoning all three of them to death and fleeing to Michigan where they were ultimately caught.

I’m definitely the worst podcaster ever! Haha. It’s 100% a challenge to do everything alone and still live life but I would love to dedicate so much more time to this. 😞 it’s still something I love so much and just can’t give it up even if I am sporadically posting. I don’t do it for the recognition or popularity, I do it because I enjoy it... hence why I have a very small dedicated following. Thank you to those that still believe in me

Season 2 Episode 6 was released on January 14th. On October 9, 2022, two brothers, Billy and Mark Chastain along with two of their friends, Alex Stevens and Mike Sparks left Billy’s home on bicycles at 8:00 P.M. The men were later reported missing by Billy’s wife and Alex’s mother a few hours later when they had not been seen or heard from. Mark’s phone pinged at a salvage yard owned by Joe Kennedy off Highway 75. Evidence of a violent crime was located at an adjacent property from this salvage yard. On October 14, the four men’s bodies were located in the Deep Fork River with multiple gunshot wounds and severed in half. Joe Kennedy became a person of interest, and then the prime suspect due to the evidence against him found at his salvage yard, in his vehicle, on his shoes, and in the field nearby. He awaits trial currently on four counts of first degree murder.

Season 2 Episode 5 was released on December 24th, on the 14 year anniversary of the massacre. On December 24, 2008, 45-year-old Bruce Jeffrey Pardo dressed as Santa Claus carrying weapons and a Christmas package, walked up to the home of Joseph and Alicia Ortega where they were having a Christmas Eve party for 25-30 family members. Bruce was determined to massacre all party guests due to his anger from his recent divorce from Joseph and Alicia's daughter, Sylvia Ortega Pardo. After shooting some of the party guests, Bruce used a homemade flamethrower he carried in the package to ignite the home, charring the bodies of his 9 victims. Three members of the family were wounded but survived (8 year old who answered the door to Bruce was shot in the jaw, a 16-year-old female who was shot in the back, and a female who jumped from the second story window, breaking her ankle), and the others escaped. The aftermath of this massacre has not been forgotten by the Ortegas and their family, as it left 13 children orphaned and others without one parent.

Season 2 Episode 4 is up. This case lead me down some rabbit holes and I did a lot of researching but still felt I cannot do it Justice. Nonetheless, I had felt compelled to talk about this.

During the night hours of February 8th/ early morning hours of Feb 9th, 2018, 24-year-old David Scott Elmquist died in a fire that was started in his apartment after the Bakken crude oil covering his body caught fire, and he suffered burns to over 90% of his body, soot-filled airways, and blindness. To investigators, this was a simple open and closed case of su***de, but to David's family and many others, he may have been the victim of foul play as well as evidence planting. There are many strange reasons concerning this case as to why there's no way David could have killed himself, according to his family.
From the mysterious untouched patches of skin on his wrists when the rest of his flesh was burned to the missing lighter, unlocked door, and planted knives at the scene, this case is so hard not to think about.
Please check out Sherrilyn Dale and Gavin Fish's documentaries of this case on YouTube, as well as Gavin Fish and Scott Elmquist's websites.

S02E03: Timothy Ray Jones, Jr.’s Chilling Crimes. Illness or Greed? was released yesterday

In June 2004, 22-year-old Timothy Ray Jones, Jr. met 18-year-old Amber Kyzer. They were married a month after meeting, and over the course of their relationship, had five children: Merah, Elias, Nahtahn, Gabriel, and Abigail. Their marriage was rocky, as Amber was forced to be subservient to her husband due to his religious beliefs. They struggled to care for all of the children while keeping a clean home, and Tim developed some rather aggressive discipline habits where he would force the children to workout until absolute exhaustion if he felt they had done wrong. DSS became involved, but had failed to see the whole picture of what was going on, as they deemed the only problem to be with the cleanliness of the home. Amber and Tim eventually got divorced, and Tim had custody of the children. It seemed as though he was struggling to care for all of them and the home, as Amber had in the past, as well. One day, Nahtahn was accused by Tim of damaging an electrical outlet, causing him to have to endure exhausting physical punishment (running laps around the family home for hours) until he couldn't breathe. Tim went to check on Nahtahn later that night, claiming he had passed away in his sleep. Instead of getting help for Nahtahn, Tim then did the unthinkable. This case breaks my heart.
Was all of this because he did not want Amber to have the children, or was it all only because he was just truly mentally ill as he claims?
