The scissors come home to roost, some gruesome biting, a bit of head butting, Ol’ Sparky, those deep down dark concrete cells, asylum buddies, tears shed, and the question of why, God, why?

Iconic boxing promoter Don King is a living legend, unbelievable success, killer, and outrageous nightmare. He came up in the mob infested numbers game of Cleveland, booked Marvin Gaye and Muhammad Ali at his very first event, lived a life of true luxury, and played a part in setting Michael Jackson on fire. Muriel does the deed and tells Nick all about it. This episode (Season One, Episode 36) originally aired 12/8/21... crazy to think we've been doing this podcast for just about three years. A...

Jake Adelstein's book "Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter On The Police Beat In Japan" serves as the main source and inspiration for this story of serial killers, wild animals, Yakuza, and the delicate balance of journalists-cops-and-criminals in 1990s Tokyo.

Muriel plants the roots of the Sharpe family tree in North Carolina and we get all the dirt on the beginnings of a bonafide Southern Dynasty. Springing from a soil of the American Civil War, the Sharpes had a ton of surviving children - each accomplished and impressive in their own right with the women in the family achieving history-making professional successes. Two of these woman have children who end up hooking up (first cousins) and wind up exploding in a guns, ammo and vitamin-filled Chevy...

Abusive and paranoid behavior starts to creep in as Susie Sharpe Newsome divorces her (maybe) mobbed-up husband Tom and takes her two young sons on an unhinged, poorly planned move to Taiwan where she is (maybe) hunted by spies. Muriel also injects us with the history of Susie’s uncle Dr. Fredrick Klenner who is a big fan of guns, racism, conspiracy theories, and mega dosing patients with vitamins to (maybe) cure their (maybe) diseases. Then first cousins start making some late night visits to e...

When the murders rain, they pour. We dig into all the beefs, petty and not-so-petty, surrounding Tom’s parents Chuck and Dolores Lynch and his sister Janie Lynch. We get a better understanding of what Susie Sharpe Newsome and Fritz Klenner are up to behind closed doors in the unsafe confines of their hoarders den. Then the bullets start to fly, and just when you think you can breath again, more bullets fly. Multiple RIPs in Part Three, so prepare yourself. Our Five-Part series is based on the 19...

Mafia mayhem, interstate investigations, the Wampus Cat, gun hoarding, fake doctors, way too much Vitamin C, and weird Fritz Klenner’s womanizing ways. As a suspect emerges in the brutal slaying of five people, one incredibly nervous young CIA recruit named Ian Perkins stammers his way through the story of a fast food-fueled, costume-changing camping mission to assassinate the international gun smugglers responsible for the drug trade poisoning America. All the while Susie Sharpe Newsome does he...

The Chevy Blazer blows, but not before all sorts of botched wire-tapping, mystery pills, revenge murder planning, Killdozer-style truck modifications, a cacophony of law enforcement blunders, a slow speed chase, lots of uzi action, and the heart breaking death of two more Sharpe family members. This is our fifth and final part of The Bitter Blood Murders. Please start at the beginning, take care, thanks for listening, and enjoy the show.

Allow us to reintroduce KILLDOZER!! Originally aired June 30, 2021 (episode 13). Marvin Heemeyer, a muffler repairman, built the Killdozer in 2004 - and then used it to destroy the town of Granby, Colorado. After years of disputes with his neighbors over zoning issues, property sales and the old cement mixer that he liked to use to store his sewage, Heemeyer freaked out and put the pedal to the metal.
