EPISODE 134: In 1983, police in Layland, WV got a call from a woman named Cleo Duncan who was concerned that her husband, James Duncan, never came home after a night out at the bar. Police don’t think much of it until they find James’ body in the most gruesome condition. What unfolds makes this possibly the most bats**t murder and cover up of all time.

The only pictures from this case are from Cleo and Dorothy’s obituaries. There is NOTHING of James, Jerry or any other Duncan family member, sorry k? So without further ado:

EPISODE 126: The Hollywood Ripper

Between 2001 - 2008, a series of murders & attacks on young women horrified Los Angeles, California. The crimes were meticulously planned but ultimately he messes with the wrong girl and after a huge struggle, leaves DNA behind. That DNA links him to a 1993 cold case that should’ve landed him in jail before he could kill again. When he finally goes to trial, the prosecutor has a very surprising star witness. Stick around to the end because there are some new (and damning) allegations.

📸 The victims: Tricia Paccacio, Ashley Ellerin, Maria Bruno, and Michelle Murphy ➡️ the worst (no spoilers) ➡️ The picture of him lurking at one of Ashley’s parties(note the date… taken right before she was murdered)

After 4 hours on the phone, Chet heard Darlene suddenly say in a trembling voice “oh my God” then it went silent. He screamed her name several times but all he could hear was the sound of leaves crunching as if someone was walking away. At 2am, he rushes over there to find a gruesome scene. This would be the start of a spree no one saw coming...that is until this monster walked into the wrong house...
