Episode 39: Anthony Templet - "I Just Killed My Dad"
On the surface, the case seems so simple: a young man shot his father in the mist of an argument. He called 911 and without any emotion said the chilling words, "I just killed my dad."
It wasn't simple at all. Natalia tells us the story this week of Anthony Templet from the Netflix documentary 'I Just Killed my Dad' and how he ended up an example of how justice should look carefully at all the circumstances before judging someone guilty of a crime. This story has so many unexpected twists that will change everything you think you know about the boy holding the gun, and it isn't just abuse.
Stephanie and Natalia also discuss clothing tags, ski daddies, and the real life Duttons!
Trigger warnings for the usual, plus: filthy language, gun violence, youth perpetrated violence, child abuse, and child abduction

Episode 38 - The Lundy Family Murders
If Mark Lundy was charged for this crime in the courts of popularity he'd be guilty and locked away ten times over. He's not the kind of guy who wins over anyone's heart. But does that mean there's sufficient evidence to prove he committed this terrible double homicide? Follow us to New Zealand in 2000, and we'll try to figure this one out together.

Episode 37: The Murder of Kelly Anne Bates
This is a relatively unknown case from the UK in the mid 1990's. Despite its horrific details the event did not get much press because of the timing - the same weeks and months Kelly Anne Bates's story came to light the late Princess Diana of Wales was tragically killed, taking the world's attention. Not saying any life is more important than the latter, this is just the history of 1997.

Episode 36 - The Murder of Danielle Van Dam
We're not making this up: another little girl is snatched right out of her room in the middle of the night, this time in 2002.

Episode 35: Francis Glessner Lee
Great minds think alike! I did NOT share what my episode was on yet somehow, Natalia got a book on forensic sciences the SAME time I tell everyone about the Grandmother who started it all!
The short version: A grandmother with a taste for the macabre loves doing crafts.
Long version: A woman fought her whole life to accomplish standardized methods of practice from the ground up. Even though women were not allowed at Harvard, she paved her OWN way to the top of the medical departments. She was smart, passionate and worked to make sure police had the tools they needed on an investigation. Then, we discuss her dollhouse dioramas that depict actual scenes of death. They we created in the early 1900's but they are so detailed, so GOOD they are still on display and used in her seminars almost 100 years later.

Episode 20: The Colorado Hammer Killer

Episode 19: Jason Vukovich - The Vigilante "Dome-Basher"
What does it mean to get revenge - or - be a vigilante? One is the act of doing something to someone, and the other, vigilante, can sometimes be misconstrued as someone with a hero complex, right?
In this situation, there are so many factors. It is such a delicate situation. You want to root for what is right, and have the main character get their happy ending. But how the character, and what the character does, can lead them into trouble.
This story is about Jason Vukovich. He did not have the happiest beginning and that's why listeners want to be on his side. But when we learn what Jason does to get revenge, was it really worth it? Maybe there is a better way of describing Jason, but we want to cheer for the underdog. But when the underdog fights back it gets him in trouble.

Episode 17: Jeffrey MacDonald
* HAPPY HALLOWEEN! * OCT 31 2022 UPDATE -
Our new editor, Justin, has made this episode sound amazing. Please give it a listen, now that the sound magic is done, this story hits different, we promise!
Jeffrey MacDonald, did he do it? I would love to hear everyone's opinions because there are so many on this one. Even though 544 Castle Dr. Fayetteville, NC no longer exists, there is SO MUCH EVIDENCE! Video, photos, testimony, YOU NAME IT!
*UPDATE*
This was found on wikipedia, however, I thought I would share because I think it is interesting. In the aftermath, Collette was buried beside her daughters Kimberly and Kiersten in Long Island, NY. The gravestones were replaced with all Stevenson, the maiden name of Collette. MacDonald was removed and now the girls rest peacefully with their mother.
Jeffrey MacDonald is alive serving his time in federal prison. He had wasted enough of everyone's time claiming insanity, confessing to the crime and taking his words back, and attempting to appeal his convictions after sentencing.
Do you think the military excused his actions because they knew, with the scrutiny, the in-laws could do much more outside in a civil lawsuit? TELL US!

Episode 14: The Beast of Belgium... One Man or a Conspiracy Beast?
Hopping over to Belgium to learn about a serial killer allegedly connected to a human trafficking ring that had political ties to the Beligum government?!
Sounds like we made it up? This one is a hard hitter, so sit down. Stephanie and I both look real skeptical, so we promise we have the receipts.

P.S. For the love of the gods, trigger warnings for everything. C'mon its true crime. I promise we try to stay as respectful and as woke as possible but please know what you are getting into when you get here. True crime and two ladies who dgaf in the most loving way possible. It's really Natalia's fault for having such a dirty mouth, but since I pick the most gory of serial killers, I can't really judge her, am I right?
Episode 11: Josef Fritzl
Thank you to the new and veteran listeners!
This episode has A LOT but it is SO good. It has something for everyone. Your body exploding on itself? Check. Strangest ways to die? Check! Josef Fritzl the modern day Grinch?! CHECK!
Plus we love Nurse Talk with Natalia where she represents all nurses everywhere and anywhere and answers all of my questions (instead of asking my Doctor).
She is my forever emergency contact. Anyways, Listen, like and share! Enjoy! Also, don't ever help your dad with stuff in the cellar ever again.
Episode 10: The Chessboard Killer, Alexander Pichushkin

Episode 9: Starvation Heights, "Doctor Hazard
The Williamson sisters were wealthy, young, and beautiful. Yet, they were considered "eccentric" by early 20th century standards. We dive in to the details on how dangerous the clean living movement can be and why diet fads are NOT why they are all cracked up to be.. Claire and Dora become victims of fraud and a dangerous self titled, "Dr. Hazard". You'd think if red flags were a thing they would have seen in THEIR DOCTOR'S NAME?! Anyways, enjoy.

Episode 7: Mary Bell, A Child Serial Killer who killed Other Children
We have some major snaps this week! So it is not all negative, I mean, we're human...

Episode 5: Witches! It's Spooky season!
In this episode, Stephanie amazes Natalia with an into the origin of persecuting witches:
Why and how did the witch hunt start over 400 years ago in the British Isles? Why were people pointing fingers at innocent people to be tried and convicted - yet they were all innocent.
Not all witches marry the devil and dance naked in the woods (although it’s totally cool if our listeners want to try dancing naked in the moonlight, we are not responsible if you flash your neighbors!). So settle in with your favorite witchy beverage and find out what happened, shall we? Muahahaha! *Although this is a “lighthearted” episode, trigger warnings for: death, misogyny, and asshole kids*
Episode 4: Katie’s Revenge
In 2005, 10 year old Katie Collman disappeared from her Indiana neighborhood. Her killer thinks it’s all over when he is shipped off to jail… but that was only the beginning.
