Episode 169 - Rage, My Dude

Episode 169 - Rage, My Dude

Take a look, it's in a book: Murder, My Dude!


We're taking a look at the Stephen King book so controversial, that the legendary author removed it from store shelves.


Rage was originally published under a pseudonym, and it inspired a series of horrendous crimes (mostly in Kentucky, for some reason). This week, we explore those stories!


BUT FIRST! This Week in Murder explores updates to some old stories and a senseless Bed-Stuy stabbing.


And, as always, we close with a game of Who Died The Worst!

Episode 168 - Dorothy, My Dude (Dorothy Stratten)

Episode 168 - Dorothy, My Dude (Dorothy Stratten)

Murder, My Dude returns to Episode 168! (or is it 169?)

Dorothy Stratten was not only one of the top playmates for Playboy Magazine in 1980, but she was also seemingly poised for crossover superstardom in Hollywood, where she drew the attention of one director in particular…

By the end of the year, she was brutally murdered before her 21st birthday. In this episode, we explore her story.

BUT FIRST!!! This Week in Murder explores a Chicagoland Slaughter and a murder/kidnapping trial in England.

Episode 167 - Unfriendly Fire, My Dude (Christopher Dorner)

Episode 167 - Unfriendly Fire, My Dude (Christopher Dorner)

Murder, My Dude returns for the 167th (and possibly final?) time!

In the Winter of 2013, LAPD officers and police in surrounding areas found themselves the targets of a rampaging killer hell-bent on getting even for what he thought was a broken system that had victimized him and cost him his livelihood.

Christopher Dorner was a vigilante with a twisted set of targets who targeted the very same police force he was once a part of.

This week, we tell his story!

But first!!! This Week in Murder explores a domestic incident gone wrong in Texas and a 98-year-old Nazi being tried as a juvenile. 

And, as always, we close out (possibly for good?!) with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst?!

Episode 166 - Back to School, My Dude (Andrei Chikatilo)

Episode 166 - Back to School, My Dude (Andrei Chikatilo)

It’s September, and back to school season is in full swing on Murder, My Dude!

While that usually means homework and recess for most people, for us, it means school bus accidents and one of the most sinister killer’s we’ve ever covered.

Andrei Chikatilo’s life was a Stalinist horror story, with an upbringing dominated by birth defects, intentional famines, and World War II. These surroundings helped create a monster - one that would terrorize the Rostov-on-Don section of the Soviet Union for over a decade. 

This week, we tell his story.

BUT FIRST! This Week in Murder explores the aforementioned school bus accidents and a hate crime in California.

And, as always, we play a rollicking game of Who Died The Worst?!

Episode 165 - Zachary's Law, My Dude (The Murders of Andrew Bagby and Zachary Turner)

Episode 165 - Zachary's Law, My Dude (The Murders of Andrew Bagby and Zachary Turner)

This week’s feature is a rough one, given the age of one of the victims and how preventable his death was. 20 years after his tragic killing, we look at both the murder of one-year-old Zachary Turner as well as the killing of his father, Andrew Bagby.

We also explore the tireless efforts of Andrew’s friends and family to make sure that their deaths resulted in reform to help prevent others from suffering a similar fate.

BUT FIRST! We play with Chat GPT and explore current crimes in This Week in Murder!

Episode 164 - Iceman, My Dude

Episode 164 - Iceman, My Dude

It may be August, but Murder, My Dude is thinking cool thoughts!


If you’ve watched your share of late night HBO in the 90s or 2000s, you may already be a little familiar with the story of Richard “The Iceman” Kulkinski, the self-professed hitman who seemed to love killing more than anything (with the possible exception of talking about killing).


How many of The Iceman’s tales of terror were real and how many tall tales from an attention-starved small-time hustler with a mean streak?


Listen, and find out!


BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder explores a cold case solved after nearly 50 years and the capture of the Long Island Serial Killer.

Episode 163 - Under The Bridge, My Dude (Reena Virk & The Shoreline Six)

Episode 163 - Under The Bridge, My Dude (Reena Virk & The Shoreline Six)

No, it’s not a shameless effort to court Red Hot Chili Peppers fans, this week, we venture North to explore a Canadian true crime case that left the nation fearing for (or just straight up fearing) their youth in the mid/late 1990s.

What happened to Reena Virk was every parent’s worst nightmare, and the ensuing legal wrangling is a case study in both the flaws of criminal justice and the power of forgiveness.

Join us, and learn about the story before it becomes the latest hit true crime miniseries on Hulu.

BUT FIRST! Jackson Wells regales us with tales from dating apps, and This Week in Murder explores two people being sentenced to prison and an unlikely person being released.

And then we close with a capital punishment-themed rendition of Who Died The Worst?!

Episode 162 - America, My Dude (Independence Day Special)

Episode 162 - America, My Dude (Independence Day Special)

It’s a day full of fun and fireworks, and to celebrate the 4th of July, we’re releasing this week’s episode a few days early! 

And in our very special Independence Day episode, we’re going to look at not one, not two, but THREE stories of historical American Murders: the first known murderer in the colonies that would become the United States, an infamous massacre that helped kickstart the revolution, and the first fully transcribed murder trial in American history.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder takes a look at another “self-defense” shooting through a locked door and an unlikely plea for clemency in a California killing

Episode 161 - (Belated) Father's Day, My Dude (The Menendez Brothers)

Episode 161 - (Belated) Father's Day, My Dude (The Menendez Brothers)

Yeah, Father’s Day was almost a week ago, but in the spirit of, “better late than never,” Murder, My Dude is going to celebrate it the only way we know how: the worst way humanly possible!

When most people think of killing one’s parents, the name that springs into mind immediately is Menendez. Even by their own testimony, Lyle and Erik Menendez shot their parents 15 times with a pair of 12-gauge shotguns on August 20, 1989. They claim it was to escape from a lifetime of abuse, but those who put them in jail for life say it was greed, plain and simple. 


In this episode, we explore their story.


BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder explores a children’s author accused of murder (and of making dubious internet searches) and a man long believed to be wrongfully convicted of murder is freed.


And finally, we close out with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst!

And in this episode, we travel to our CONFIRMED SECOND BIGGEST MARKET!!!

Episode 159 - 2023 Bonnie and Clyde, My Dude

Episode 159 - 2023 Bonnie and Clyde, My Dude

This week, we celebrate the birth of one of our own: Jackson Welles! We do this by discussing The Shining, the film released on the exact day of his birth, and by looking into the case of legendary murderous robbers on the lam Bonnie Parker & Clyde Barrow.


The story of the outlaw duo brought down in a hail of gunfire is so ubiquitous, it seems like folklore at this point. In this episode, Jackson & B.P. explore the real story.


BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder explores the latest in the cases of Jordan Neely and Lori Vallow (See our episode, Doomsday, My Dude for more on that one.)

Episode 158 - Nurses, My Dude (Charles Cullen)

Episode 158 - Nurses, My Dude (Charles Cullen)

In our latest episode, Jackson and B.P. (or is it Maximum Jackson-um and Pope Barnabas?) pay tribute to Florence Nightingale on what would’ve been her 203rd birthday, if only people lived that long. 

And they do it in a way only Murder, My Dude can: by highlighting the very worst of the profession that she’s synonymous with. Charles Cullen is one of the most prolific “angel of death” killers in the medical industry, with a death toll suspected to be in the hundreds between the mid-1980s and early 2000s.

BUT FIRST - This Week In Murder looks at a brutal killing on an Arizona hiking trail and takes a deep dive on the killing of Jordan Neely.

And finally, we close as we always do: with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst!

Episode 157 - Tokyo, My Dude

Episode 157 - Tokyo, My Dude

In our latest episode, Murder, My Dude returns to the land of the rising sun to take a look at a pair of killings that drew international attention to a controversial custom.

Carita Ridgway and Lucie Blackman were both hostesses, workers at Tokyo nightclubs who were tasked with being extra-attentive to parts of the club’s clientele - generally older, affluent businessmen. Carita and Lucie came to Tokyo from Australia and England, respectively, and though they lived there eight years apart, their deaths came at the hands of the same man.

This week, we explore their stories.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder explores the killing of a tech executive and a rash of “stand your ground” shootings.

And, as always, we close with a game of Who Died The Worst!


Apr 28, 202302:20:01
Episode 156 - Insurance, My Dude

Episode 156 - Insurance, My Dude

This week's episode finally delves deep in to a thrilling, cutthroat world that we've never explored before: the insurance industry.

On a serious note, the brutal death of terminally ill Betsy Faria showed how depraved human beings can truly be. The terminally ill wife and mother of two was stabbed over 50 times, including once through an eye, and was left with a knife sticking out of her neck.

When her husband called the gruesome crime in as a suicide, suspicion immediately fell on him, but all was not what it seemed.

We explore Betsy's story this week!

BUT FIRST! You may want to skip to around 50-55 minutes if you're looking just for true crime content. At that point, This Week in Murder explores the fatal pursuit of a high-ranking Maryland government official turned fugitive and explores the mind of a family annhilator.

And, as always, we wrap things up with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst!

Apr 14, 202301:40:50
Episode 155 - Spring Break, My Dude (Mark Kilroy & The Narcosatanists)

Episode 155 - Spring Break, My Dude (Mark Kilroy & The Narcosatanists)

The weather is warming up, and schools are letting out. It’s time once again for SPRING BREAK!!!

But the fun and frivolity all too often turns deadly, and perhaps never more horrifically than in the case of Mark Kilroy, a Texas Longhorn who went to the Gulf Coast to party like it was 1989, and he never returned.

The story of his demise has to be heard to be believed.

BUT FIRST!!! This Week In Murder explores the death of a mentally ill murderous musician and a dentist gone bad.

Then, as always, we close with a game of Who Died The Worst!


Mar 31, 202301:56:50
Episode 154 - Murder O'Dude V (The Murder of Mary Gough Whelan)

Episode 154 - Murder O'Dude V (The Murder of Mary Gough Whelan)

For the fifth time, Murder, My Dude turns its eyes toward the Emerald Isle to celebrate our oldest special: Murder O’Dude.

And it’s a wild one, filled with bad accents and butchered pronunciations! Oh yeah, and a case. The death of Mary Gough Whelan was caused by an accidental fall down the stairs according to her husband, Colin. Investigators soon suspected something more sinister, but the wily widower had more than one trick up his sleeve…

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder looks at a death row inmate taking a parting shot at a governor and the assassination-style killing of a former Murder, My Dude subject.

And, as always, we close with a game who Who Died The Worst! And this one will make you want to stay home instead of going to that big concert.

Mar 17, 202301:45:30
Episode 153, Murder Media, My Dude (Special)

Episode 153, Murder Media, My Dude (Special)

And this week, we do something completely different!

It’s an extra-special Murder, My Dude with more of a freeform conversation and a bit of a rest for our usual segments.

Instead, we’re going to take a look at our favorite murder-themed TV shows and movies.

And, unlike always, we DON’T play a game of Who Died The Worst!

Episode 152 - Basket Full of Puppies, My Dude (2001 Anthrax Murders)

Episode 152 - Basket Full of Puppies, My Dude (2001 Anthrax Murders)

The weeks immediately following the attacks on September 11, 2001 were wrought with paranoia and a sense that something else bad was going to happen imminently.

Those fears were made real on a smaller scale when it soon emerged that members of the media and the United States Senate were mailed letters containing spores carrying the deadly anthrax bacteria.

Though terrorism was initially feared, suspicion later fell on the scientific community who’d have the access and know-how to carry out the attacks. In 2008, they identified the suspected perpetrator, but did they get it right? We explore the case in this episode!

BUT FIRST This Week in Murder explores the Michigan State mass shooting and the murder of a transgender TikToker in the UK.

And, as always, we close things out with a game of Who Died The Worst!

Feb 24, 202301:41:34
Episode 151 - Green River Killer, My Dude

Episode 151 - Green River Killer, My Dude

Stay away from the woods (and wooded areas) - this week we’re taking a look at the Green River Killer!

Gary Ridgway currently holds the second-largest confirmed body count of any serial killer in American history. He was able to evade law enforcement for decades by hiding in plain sight (and because DNA testing was in its infancy).

This week, we look into his story!

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder explores a basketball game riot that ended in tragedy and a deadly doppelganger.

And, as always, we end with a game of Who Died The Worst!

Be careful who you pick up on the side of the road. In our 6th Season Finale, we cover a case straight out of your Netflix watch list and explore the case of Kai, the hatchet-wielding hitchhiker!

Episode 149 - Chicago Tylenol Murders, My Dude

Episode 149 - Chicago Tylenol Murders, My Dude

Murder, My Dude returns with an episode that’ll make you think twice before you open your medicine cabinet!

Chicago was terrorized in the early 1980s with a wave on inexplicable cyanide poisonings that ultimately caused nationwide hysteria and a mistrust of consumer products that lasts to a certain degree to this day.

In our latest episode, we explore the mysterious killings.

Episode 148 - Times Square Killer, My Dude (Richard Cottingham)

Episode 148 - Times Square Killer, My Dude (Richard Cottingham)

This week, Murder, My Dude heads to the Big Apple to ring in the new year. We’re not talking about the ultra-glitzy modern-day Times Square, but instead the more rough-and-tumble Times Square of the 1970s and 80s, where “street performers” trafficked in something far more salacious than knockoff Marvel and Sesame Street costumes.

This was the New York of Richard Cottingham. The depths of Cottingham’s savagery is only now beginning to be understood, and this week, we explore his story.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder explores a delivery gone horribly wrong and a serial killer we’ve covered being set free.

And then we end the year with one last Who Died The Worst for 2022!

Episode 147 - Casey and Caylee, My Dude (The Trial of Casey Anthony)

Episode 147 - Casey and Caylee, My Dude (The Trial of Casey Anthony)

For a large part of the late 2000s/early 10s, Casey Anthony was quite possibly the most hated person in America. Suspected in the death of her three-year-old daughter Caylee, images of Anthony partying it up while her child was missing drew intense anger across the country.

Anger that was joined by disbelief when Anthony was found not guilty of her daughter’s murder.

New evidence and the breaking of silences has made the case debated to this day. In this episode, Jackson and B.P. provide their perspective.

BUT FIRST! This Week in Murder looks at the killing of an American woman vacationing in Mexico and the finally-revealed identity of The Boy In The Box.

And finally, we close with an edition of Who Died The Worst that’s too hot to handle!

Episode 146 - La Pistolera, My Dude (Sharon Kinne)

This week, Jackson and B.P. discuss the case of a femme fatale who has been an international fugitive for over a half-century.

Sharon “La Pistolera” Kinne always wanted to grow beyond her humble Midwestern origins, and she had a knack for either getting what she wanted or punishing those who kept it from her.

Time after time, she evaded the law, and even when it caught up with her, she seemed to have one more trick up her sleeve.

This week, we explore her story.

BUT FIRST! This Week in Murder covers a pair of college shootings. And, as always, we finish with a game of Who Died The Worst!

Episode 145 - Montana, My Dude

Episode 145 - Montana, My Dude

This week, it's a double shot of true crime comedy goodness that takes us to the Treasure State!

Montana may not be a gigantic population hub, but Big Sky Country has definitely seen its share of twisted true crime tales. In this episode, we take a look at two of them: the tragic 1973 death of Susie Jaeger, which led to a case that created a milestone in criminal profiling. Then, we look at the reign of terror caused by a man who sounds like an old timey boxer: The Missoula Mauler!

BUT FIRST! This Week in Murder looks at a Jane Doe identified after nearly half a century and a workplace courtship gone horribly wrong.

Episode 143 - Halloween Ends, My Dude

Episode 143 - Halloween Ends, My Dude

Murder, My Dude is back, and we’re going back to the VERY beginning of the show. Episode 1 saw Jackson and B.P. review the 2018 version of Halloween during its theatrical run, and this week, they take a look at the final film in the Blumhouse-Haddonfield trilogy: Halloween Ends! If you want to skip right to it, the review starts around 42 minutes in. BEWARE SPOILERS - it's loaded with them if you haven't seen the movie!

That doesn’t mean we’re completely straying from our true crime core, though! This Week in Murder provides further updates on Adnan Syed’s release from prison and also explores a suspected serial killer caught in Central California.

Episode 142 - Family Tied, My Dude (The Clutter Family/In Cold Blood)

On the latest Murder, My Dude, we go back in time to explore the case that helped create the True Crime genre itself.

The 1959 killing of the Clutter Family rattled the Kansas community where it happened, but years later, it was the work of famous author Truman Capote that made the story a national phenomenon.

What would motivate someone to slaughter a beloved family that was seemingly free of enemies? Tune in and learn all about it!

BUT FIRST! We explore a more recent case that’s the stuff of True Crime legend as Adnan Syed is released from prison. That’s ½ of This Week in Murder, and the other half will keep you from looking at luggage the same way again!

Episode 141 - Adrienne, My Dude (Adrienne Shelly)

Join us this week as Murder, My Dude goes Hollywood!

Well, goes off-Broadway at the very least.

Adrienne Shelly was on the precipice of the biggest success of her career behind the camera when it was all taken away from her by an unlikely assailant. If her husband hadn’t tirelessly pursued the truth, her killer would have likely never faced justice.

This week, we cover their story.

Episode 139 - Dating Game Killer, My Dude

Episode 139 - Dating Game Killer, My Dude

On a 1978 Episode of the hit show The Dating Game, Bachelor #1 was harboring a horrible, horrible secret.

Rodney Alcala’s downward spiral started with a broken home, and while his story has made true crime headlines, his sickening crime spree should perhaps be most remembered for how many chances the vicious murderer was inexplicably given. This week, we explore his story.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder takes a closer look at recent litigation in a pair of stories featuring an Instagram/OnlyFans model and the accuser of a landmark Civil Rights figure, respectively.

But not everything is changing - we’re still providing a huge dose of true crime comedy goodness!

Episode 137 - Murder? My Dude

Episode 137 - Murder? My Dude

Our latest episode may have omitted one of the core parts of the Murder, My Dude Formula: The Murder!

Melissa Caddick was at the top of the Australian financial industry for the better part of a decade, gracing magazine covers and earning too good to be true returns for her clients.

Notice we didn’t say seemingly too good to be true returns. Melissa’s big wins didn’t come from market savvy, but from something more tried-and-true: the good, old fashioned Ponzi Scheme.

But when authorities came calling, Melissa vanished without a trace. In this episode, we tell her story.

BUT FIRST! Who Died The Worst explores an assassination in the most unlikely of places and overturned convictions in a quarter-century old murder case.

Episode 136 - Rudolph the Right Wing Bomber, My Dude

Episode 136 - Rudolph the Right Wing Bomber, My Dude

Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas in July, my dudes!

Wait, I’m being told this isn’t about that Rudolph.

Eric Robert Rudolph spent more than his fair share of time on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List (what, exactly, is a fair share of time on that particular list?) partially because of the heinousness of his four bombings - the most infamous of which took place at Centennial Olympic Park in the midst of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta - and in part because his survival skills (and maybe some sympathetic locals) allowed him to elude capture for nearly a decade.

This week, we look at his story.

BUT FIRST! This Week in Murder takes an emergency look at the Highland Park mass shooting, a horrible discovery in a Texas Big Rig, and a domestic dispute turned armed standoff in rural Kentucky in This Week In Murder.

And, as always, we finish things off with a game of Who Died The Worst!

Episode 135 - Tourniquet Killer, My Dude

Episode 135 - Tourniquet Killer, My Dude

Murder, My Dude returns with an episode that is definitely NOT for the faint of heart.

Anthony Allen Shore, also known as the Tourniquet Killer, was evil personified, and this week, we’re taking a closer look at his life, times, and deeds. If you’re easily disturbed by crimes committed against children, discretion is strongly advised.

And before that! This Week in Murder takes a look at an accused killer caught by their GPS ankle monitor and one of the more disgusting places ever used to hide a body.

And, as always, we finish with a game of Who Died The Worst that will make you think twice about kicking your legs in the air.

Episode 134 - Pride, My Dude III (and More Mass Shootings)

Episode 134 - Pride, My Dude III (and More Mass Shootings)

This week, we present a bit of a different episode of Murder, My Dude.

This Week In Murder takes center stage in this one, as we take the time to explore the epidemic of mass shootings in the United States. Our previous episode was recorded mere hours after news broke of the tragic events in Uvalde, TX, but the two weeks since have provided little respite.

With that in mind, we take a look at the senseless attacks that have unfolded in the wake of Uvalde.

AND THEN, we move onto our annual Pride, My Dude show, where we take a look at a lesser-known, but incredibly deadly LGBT+ case: the story of the Hampton Roads Killer.

And, as always, we finish with Who Died The Worst!

Episode 133 - Laci, My Dude

Episode 133 - Laci, My Dude

The late 2002 disappearance of Laci Peterson dominated American media nearly twenty years ago. The expecting mother with the magnetic smile went missing on Christmas Eve, 2002, when she was eight months pregnant with her first child.

In the ensuing weeks, attention began to gravitate to her strangely nonchalant husband, Scott. The media attention reached a fever pitch when a press conference was held where a woman admitted to having an affair with Scott, who told her he was unmarried.

When Laci and her unborn son were found several months later, it started in motion a legal battle that has gathered new life very, very recently. Whether you’re old enough to remember the hysteria, or you’re hearing about it for the first time: Murder, My Dude has you covered!

BUT FIRST! This week in murder covers two horrible mass shootings and a tragic double murder/suicide (not to be confused with the less common murder/double suicide)

And, as always, we close it out with Who Died The Worst!

Episode 132 - Friday the 13th, My Dude

Episode 132 - Friday the 13th, My Dude

Throw on your hockey masks and get ready for Summer camp, because this episode comes out on the only Friday the 13th of 2022!

And we’re observing the occasion with our first-ever episode Welsh serial killer. After decades of beatings targeted at the gay community, Peter Moore - a gay man himself - escalated to murder. The movie theater owner’s peculiar style of dress gave him the nickname The Man In Black, and his horror obsession and strange, likely false, alibi forever associated him and Jason Voorhees.

In this episode, we explore his story.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder covers a drunk-driving death involving a WWE Hall of Famer and the discovery of decades-old bodies unearthed by climate change.

And, as always, we close with a rousing episode of Who Died The Worst!

Episode 131 - Bystander Effect, My Dude (The Death of Kitty Genovese)

Episode 131 - Bystander Effect, My Dude (The Death of Kitty Genovese)

It’s a horror story that seems all too possible. A womanis murdered on the streets of New York City. 38 people witness the attack, and no one intervenes or calls for help.

But in the time since the horrific murder of Kitty Genovese nearly 60 years ago, many - including Kitty’s own younger brother - have questioned the narrative of the three dozen-plus witnesses who sat idly by and let a woman die in the streets.

This week, we explore the story.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder looks at two tales of murder within families. And we end with a game of Who Died The Worst that’ll make you want to protect your neck!

Episode 130: The Real Dr. Death, My Dude

Episode 130: The Real Dr. Death, My Dude

Back in the early days of this show, we did Dr. Death, My Dude, an episode devoted to the life and times of controversial physician Jack Kervorkian, the legendary assisted suicide advocate (well, advocate might be too weak of a term).

This week, we look at a much more deadly doctor. Harold Shipman was officially convicted of 15 murders, but his actual body count was, in all likelihood, exponentially higher.

What could drive someone sworn to do no harm to kill? How was he able to do it for so long? We explore the story of England’s (and perhaps the World’s) most deadly serial killer.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder looks at an on-campus shooting just outside a popular dive bar and a triple homicide and robbery in an unlikely location.

And, as always, we close it out with Who Died The Worst!

Episode 129 - "Rockefeller," My Dude

Episode 129 - "Rockefeller," My Dude

This week, it’s one of our most fun, wild, twisty stories yet. Trust us - would we lie to you?

One person that certainly would was known to many in New York, New Hampshire, and Boston as Clark Rockefeller (yes, those Rockefellers). Clark rubbed elbows with those in high society all over those locales, but a messy divorce unearthed a murderous truth, and we’re here to talk about it!

BUT FIRST

This Week In Murder takes a look at a senseless shoving death of an elderly vocal coach and an equally senseless killing of three on a Philadelphia highway.

And, as always, we finish with Who Died The Worst!

Episode 128 - Scissor Sisters, My Dude (Murder, O'Dude IV - St Patrick's Day Special)

Episode 128 - Scissor Sisters, My Dude (Murder, O'Dude IV - St Patrick's Day Special)

A podcast tradition continues: it’s the fourth annual Murder O’Dude!

And the St. Patrick’s Day celebration takes a more modern turn as we explore a 21st Century case, that of the Mulhalls, a troubled family finding itself in the center (or, in Europe, centre) of a controversy that popped up when a severed leg was found floating in Dublin’s Royal Canal.

This week, we cover the story of how the leg wound up in the canal, and the St. Patrick’s Weekend festivities gone wrong that led to it showing up there in the first place.

BUT FIRST! This Week in Murder looks at sentencing in a case of a triple murder over a Facebook post and the senseless killing of a New York lawyer who was a part of one of the most famous political protests in recent history.

And, as always, we finish with Who Died The Worst!

Episode 127 - Biggie and Tupac, My Dude

Episode 127 - Biggie and Tupac, My Dude

This week, we’re releasing the show a little early, and it’s a very special episode commemorating and exploring the death of Christopher Wallace/Biggie Smalls/The Notorious B.I.G., as it’s been 25 years since his tragic killing.

And because one story can’t be told without the other, we’ll also explore the September 2006 death of fellow hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur, and the East Coast-West Coast feud that may have been behind one or both of their demises.

And then we'll be back next week with our 4th Annual Murder O'Dude episode, featuring a true crime story in (or related to) Ireland.

Episode 126 - Love Triangles, My Dude II

Episode 126 - Love Triangles, My Dude II

Valentine's Day is over, and it's time to look at the darker side of love and murder.

Debi and Howie Whitlock's marriage was hitting a rocky patch. Howie's drinking was getting out of hand, and Debi had left and started a relationship with another man, but after some time apart, they were trying to get things right. Just as it seemed all was well, Debi was brutally murdered. It'd take nine years and the tireless efforts of her mother to find her killer.

BUT FIRST - This Week In Murder takes a look at a settlement between Remington Arms and several Sandy Hook families and the tragic death of an innocent bystander in Houston.

Episode 125 - Killer Couples, My Dude (Charles Starkweather & Caril Ann Fugate)

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Murder, My Dude closes out its fifth season with one of the most infamous killer couples in true crime history!

Charlie Starkweather was a difficult child - a bullied boy who grew up to be a tougher young man who tormented his tormenters. Not long after meeting up with Caril Ann Fugate, however, Starkweather went on a killing spree that terrorized a Nebraska city in the late 1950s.

This week, we cover their story, which has spawned many memorable pieces of cinema itself.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder looks at a long distance relationship gone bad and the controversial execution of an Alabama inmate.

And, as always, we close with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst!

Episode 124 - Football, My Dude (Rae Carruth & Steve McNair)

Episode 124 - Football, My Dude (Rae Carruth & Steve McNair)

With the NFL football playoffs drawing to a close soon and the big game on the horizon, this week, Murder, My Dude takes to the gridiron!

And we do so with a pair of stories that saw two football stars on opposite ends of the true crime coin. In episode 124, we take a look at the story of Rae Carruth, a once-promising wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers who masterminded a heinous crime and was forced to live with the consequences. From there, we explore the tragic end of legendary Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair.

BUT FIRST!!! This Week in Murder takes a look at an accidental African shooting that the FBI believes was more sinister than it initially seemed. We also explore a story of a bad roommate and an even worse refreshing beverage.

And, as always, we end with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst!

Episode 123 - Stalkers, My Dude (The Murder of Rebecca Schaeffer)

The first Murder, My Dude of 2022 is positively packed to the gills with true crime comedy goodness!

And it start’s with a heaping helping of This Week In Murder - including a briefing on the sentencing of Ahmaud Arbery’s killers and Robert Durst’s death (spoiler: he’s still dead). From there, we take a deeper dive in two cold cases finally brought to an end: one with an accused killer being brought to justice, the other with one being unmasked beyond the grave.

From there, it’s our main topic of conversation in this episode: the tragic, senseless killing of 80’s TV star Rebecca Schaeffer.

And then, to wrap it all up, we play another game of Who Died The Worst!

Episode 122 - New Year's Eve, My Dude (The Egan Murders)

Episode 122 - New Year's Eve, My Dude (The Egan Murders)

Murder, My Dude closes out 2021 with a trip back in time to New Year’s Eve 1964, and a trio of killings just South of the Canadian Border.

When a couple travelling to ring in the New Year with family pulled into a rest stop at the Northernmost tip of the as-yet-unfinished Interstate 81, they found more than a bathroom of questionable quality.

The rest stop wound up being the final resting place of a family with a very, very checkered past, and this week we look at their story.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder looks at a new serial killer and a verdict rendered in an officer involved shooting.

And we close with a game of Who Died The Worst that covers land, air, and sea!

Happy New Year - we’ll see you in 2022!

Episode 121 - Amazon Review Murderer, My Dude (Todd Kohlhepp)

Just in time for the holidays, Murder, My Dude covers a killer who left some very interesting reviews shopping on Amazon.com. Todd Kohlhepp ran afoul of the law from a very early age, and got away with quadruple murder for well over a decade. This episode covers his life, crimes, and the unlikely circumstances behind his capture.

BUT FIRST!

This Week In Murder takes a deeper look at the Oxford High School shooting and a very suspicious hitman rental service.

And, as always, we play a rousing game of Who Died The Worst?

Episode 120: Born to Raise Hell, My Dude (Richard Speck)

Episode 120: Born to Raise Hell, My Dude (Richard Speck)

Murder, My Dude is back to wake you up from your turkey coma with another with a podcast loaded to the gills with true crime comedy goodness!

Before that, however, Jackson Welles takes a moment to share his love for his new favorite show: the Starz hit Outlander.

Then it’s on to This Week In Murder, where we discuss the major developments in two major cases: the Ahmaud Arbery murder and the manhunt for Brian Laundrie. We also cover the story of an innocent man freed after decades behind bars.

From there, it’s on to the main topic of conversation. The “Born to Raise Hell” tattoo on the arm of Richard Speck proved to be accurate… to a degree. This week, we take a look at the making of a mass murderer, as we explore the life and times of the man behind one of the most brutal spree killings in American history.

And it wouldn’t be Murder, My Dude if we didn’t end with a game of Who Died the Worst?!
