Nancy Crampton Brophy is among the most duplicitous of dames, and you guessed it - she left a trail of “I did it” bread crumbs for detectives. As both an aspiring romance/thriller writer and an insurance sales person she thought she could write a different ending to her story . Much like her reportedly fumbling attempts in the literary world it didn't quite work out like she planned. When she murdered her husband Daniel Craig Brophy we bet she never expected her dumb mistakes would bring her to ...

We start this episode by going over the meaning of a lost crystal . Sadly, Cassie recently experienced this and wanted to share her findings. Then while we’re already on a witchy topic, we might as well cover the Witch’s Castle in Portland, OR! Local legends swirl around this magical, abandoned, moss covered, stone building. But there is more than just urban legend buried in the dark history of the land. I mean this place HAS to be creepy, since it's situated VERY near two of our other show topi...

Prepare for jet lag. We visit a long list of places with this case: Florida, Oregon, Washington, Iowa, Louisiana, Texas, South Carolina, Arizona, Tennessee, even British Columbia. We're reminded of the importance of proper evidence collection as this episode stirs some memories of both Episode 13 as well as other cases where DNA led to the discovery of the alleged perpetrator (like in Episode 43) . We've also stumbled onto some other incredibly sad case topics that will no doubt spill into the w...

This week we're digging a bit deeper into Kirby Anthoney's crimes. We'd really rather not. We just celebrated our one year podiversary but, of course, we have to come back and finish this horrific case up. We'll cut to the chase, there's not a single redeeming feature or fact in the case to be found on his behalf. Last week we talked briefly about his early life and the horrific crimes he commit in his home state of Idaho before moving to Alaska. There, in Anchorage, the triple homicide in the N...

Kirby Anthoney might be one of the most dangerous and inconceivably violent criminals that you’ve probably never heard of. Though he was born just two days before Christmas he was certainly no gift to anyone that crossed his path. He commit horrible crimes in his home state of Idaho before his eventual arrest for a vicious attack against his own family, resulting in his 357 year sentence behind bars. The triple homicide in the Newman home was so brutal it mangled a marriage as well as family bon...

This week we're sticking a little too close to home for comfort. Ever heard of Ardenwald?

No, you don’t need to get your eyes checked… That’s right, we’re doing something we said we’d NEVER do - covering the homicides of Ted Bundy! I guess that’s why we created the hashtag #neverbundy. Now we’ve said it so much that it’s lost all meaning! (Or has it?) But we’ve found some insightful information that we think will put a new spin on ol’ Teddy Boi’s egregious crimes. He confessed to stealing the lives of 30 women, from the Pacific Northwest all the way on down to Florida, and oh so much...

This week as we wrap up the Bruce McArthur case we have two cards in our weekly spoiler post on the socials. You'll have to tune in for Cassie's explanation to find out why.

This week we're traveling to visit some international friends and announcing that it may be the first of many visits. Our good friends at Disturbingly Pragmatic sparked our interest in a case that absolutely blew our minds. We're in full on PodLove, DP=PodBae. Getting into the case, Bruce McArthur was a duplicitous dude that victimized numerous men in the Toronto area. Even worse he did so specifically in the Village community where these vulnerable people probably felt the most safe. This is ep...

But don’t worry, we still have a haunt for you! We picked McLoughlin House in Oregon City, Oregon because it’s very close proximity to the unincorporated community of Jennings Lodge, Oregon. Yup, that’s right the book is set in a real place in the Pacific Northwest! *If you’re interested in hearing more book reviews (...

This episode takes us to a scenic and somewhat isolated stretch of Seward Highway in Alaska, just south of Anchorage to take a look at a decades old crime. It's a gruesome case that would remain unsolved for many years. Though not for lack of trying on the part of the Shelley Connolly's family, or the dedicated cold case unit. Before we reach the conclusion of our episode this week we'll end up closer to home, near our neck of the woods of the PNW. Of all places - Gresham, Oregon. That's only af...

This week we talk about the tragic history of The Iron Goat Trail. This former railroad through Stevens Pass in the Central Cascades of Washington, was the site of the deadliest avalanche in American history. Much like the sinking of the Titanic two years later, this is the story of when transportation progression and natural disasters collide. It’s no wonder hikers claim to feel, hear, and even see strange things on their visits to the trail. We also learn a very important Tarot lesson in this ...

Though Kate had learned the truth the hard way about John, and eventually narrowly escaped the wrath of his truly evil intentions, she couldn't help but worry about whoever might end up meeting him next. Following her brutal attack in May of 1999, she would slowly begin to find some semblance of peace, only to have her world completely rocked again, years later, when John's final heinous act would leave many more lives forever changed.
