    The Haunting of 112 Ocean Avenue Part One
    112 Ocean Avenue is perhaps one of the scariest homes in crime history. Better known as the Amityville Horror House, this was once the home of the Lutz family. But what caused the demonic activity? Was it the murder of almost the whole DeFeo family a year before George and Kathy Lutz moved in? Or was there something much more sinister laying beneath the surface of Butch DeFeo and his lawyer? Part one of two.

    Megan Wants a Murderer

    People are obsessed with reality shows and in today's age of social media, as soon as a new cast is revealed, the internet picks apart every single post these new players have uploaded. Had social media been bigger in 2009, perhaps Megan Hauserman's VH1 series would have had a different ending.

    Just Like Mama Used to Make
    It's always good to know what ingredients are in your food. It can help you prevent an allergic reaction, count your calorie intake, and avoid becoming a cannibal. Leonarda Cianciulli was clever about how she disposed of her bodies. It's hard to tell though if that was crazier than the reason she murdered in the first place.

    A Bad Case of the Mondays

    We all make excuses. Sometimes we blame our dog for eating our homework and other times we say we shot at our school because we hate Mondays. 2019 has unfortunately seen 22 school shootings. Somebody had to be the first. That person was the twisted Brenda Spencer. Please note this episode includes gunshots and a recreation of a school shooting so may not be suitable for all listeners.

    D.B. Cooper: Legend or Rotten Sleazy Crook? Part One

    Please Note: This episode contains the sound effect of a gunshot.

    It's not very often a criminal gets elevated to the status of a legend. To some, the plane hijacker known as D.B. Cooper is a hero of the skies. To others, he's a scoundrel that got away with a crime. But who is or was this man? Today, we attempt to break down the hijacking through the timelines of five famous suspects on the FBI's list. Think you know who he is? Let me know over on Instagram for a chance to be featured in the next episode!

    The Artist San Francisco Forgot

    There are times when a criminal is right under an investigator's nose and she does everything in her power to get him. Other times she chooses to ignore him. The 70s weren't the most gay friendly era in America. So when gay men wound up murdered after being drawn on a napkin at their local bar, most cops didn't bat an eye. Who was the mysterious Doodler terrorizing San Francisco? Be advised this episode contains language that was common in the 70s but today would be homophobic.

    Smile! You're On the Murderer's Camera

    One popular theory for Brian Shaffer's disappearance is The Smiley Face Killer. Retired detectives Kevin Gannon and Anthony Duarte believe this killer (or killers) stalk popular college men, drug them at a bar, and leave them for dead in a nearby river while marking their work with an innocent smiley face. Is that what happened to the two young men in today's story or did they simply get too drunk one night and fall into the water?

    Kings or Pawns?

    In fall 2001, two brothers did the unthinkable when they murdered their father and burned down the house to destroy any evidence. But things may not always be as they seem. Were the King brothers pawns in someone else's master plan? Or did the public fall for their innocent faces?

    Rub a Dub Dub, Three Girls & a Tub

    April 10, 2019 was National Siblings Day. While everybody and their literal brother was posting old photos of themselves on social media, two Canadian sisters may have been reminiscing on the day they inherited their mother's insurance policy.
