Episode 39: The Brobergs | A Family Invasion
In the early 1970's a protective initiative was put in place to protect children from predators, it was called 'Stranger Danger'. This was constructed to make the public aware that there are people who only want to hurt your children and you need to be constantly aware of those around you. However, this did not work. At all. It actually caused mass panic, creating a climate of fear and suspicion. It also averted parents eyes away from those who are most likely to be hurting their children, those...

Episode 33: Killer Cult | The Ant Hill Kids
If I were to ask you to tell me the craziest cult you’d ever heard of you would probably tell me the Manson Family, Aum Shinrikyo, Children of God, or maybe Heaven’s Gate. But there is always a cult that is kept out of the conversation surrounding the damaging effects and dangers that these deadly cults pose. That would be the Ant Hill Kids. However, the members of this cult would not do harm unto others, harm would be done unto them at the hands of their charismatic leader. patreon.com/truecrim...

Episode 30: The Massie Affair | A Dishonorable Killing
Unfortunately history repeats itself.

And to make matters worse even years after one of the most brutal domestic crimes in this country’s history the s...
