The Riverside Killer as he was known committed most of his crimes between June 1989 and December 1991… that we know of. One of the most disgusting and prolific serial killers was pushed into the shadows not because of his gruesome crimes against sex workers and drug addicts, but because his trial started at almost the same time as OJ Simpson's. So, join us this week as we look into the dark mind of a man who’s first foray into murder was when he killed his own child. Join us as we tell the story...

I usually try to keep my opinions out of the podcast. Sometimes though my thoughts and feelings do bleed through, but for the most part, I try to only stick to the story. But, the more cases I cover, the more I research incidents and punishments, the more I find that the system seems to be broken. This week we cover the case of Cecil Stephen Sutherland.

We all know that someone or someone’s who lie on the internet. Sometimes it’s their photo, its either over edited, over filtered, or is a photo of themselves from 20 years or 20 pounds ago. Other times people lie about their lifestyle, appearing to have it all when in reality they are barely holding everything together. Then there are those who lie about their past. Where they’ve gone to school, the jobs they have, or… their criminal history. Access ad-free episodes, bonus content, and get all o...

This week we dive into a case that has very little in the way of information. The case itself is pretty cut and dry, there were only two victims, one of which survived.

Imagine finding a crime scene. But, not just any crime scene, a murder scene. How long would that stay with you? How long until you’d be able to put it past you and move on.

Some serial killers have no real excuses for being the way they are. Their childhood is relatively normal by most standards, and such is the case this week. So why did a young man who grew up in a middle class home decide to go off the rails? The answer might be there is no reason, and it also might be the scariest part.

Most journals are personal… logs to help us remember things that we might forget, how we felt at pivotal points in our lives, a record of where we’ve been and how far we’ve come. They can be used to catalog our thoughts and ideas, as reference for times when we need a reminder of our hopes and dreams. Usually these things are kept secret, hidden away from the world. But occasionally, these writings can give us insights, catalog and display to the world what has happened or is happening inside th...
