  • In the early hours of a chilly winter morning in 2005, a grim discovery marks the beginning of a perplexing case that would haunt the western edge of Miami. Amid the transition where the orderly outer suburbia surrenders to the wild embrace of the Everglades, with its towering grass and dark, unforgiving mud, a scene unfolds that seems almost too brutal, too out of place. A local power-company worker, navigating through the routine of his day, drives by the desolate expanse of an unbuilt cul-de-sac. It's here, amidst the weeds and solitude, that he spots something. A young woman, merely 21, with long blond curls, lies facedown. She's naked, her body battered, an undeniable signal of the violence she endured, discarded at the very threshold of civilization and wilderness...

  • In the sweltering early summer heat of the El Paso County desert, a search had persisted for three grueling days. Leading the operation was a young female detective, now gripped by a sense of anticipation that often precedes a significant discovery in homicide investigations. She harbored a strong conviction: the victim's body was concealed somewhere close. After a year marred by frustration, misleading leads, and dead ends, she felt today would mark a pivotal turn. Today, they would uncover what they had been tirelessly searching for. The search team was a diverse assembly: dog teams sniffing for any trace, high-tech gear scanning the rugged terrain, and volunteers from both a local military base and a nearby prison. Among them, a veteran Texas Ranger stood out. It was he who stumbled upon the first clue—a human bone, seemingly disturbed and brought to the surface by animals. Following this, a weathered tennis shoe emerged, then another bone...

  • The deeper her investigation into Rhoades's life and crimes went, the more apparent the unsettling parallels between their lives became. Despite the chasm between their intentions—one a survivor, the other a predator—they shared the grueling rhythm of life on the road. Both faced the relentless monotony and sleepless nights that come with constant movement, their world oscillating between tedium and terror. As she honed her instincts for survival amidst the ceaseless uncertainty of hitchhiking, Rhoades, in dark mirroring, was likely refining his methods of predation. Each had developed their own coping mechanisms, their rituals for navigating the endless highways, and their own cynical conclusions about human nature and its responses to extremity. This reflection did not equate their actions but illuminated the disturbing thought that life on the road could shape individuals in profoundly different, yet parallel, ways...

  • In December 2000, in a remote area of the Oder River in Poland, three fishermen discovered a dead body, initially mistaken for a log, near the shore. The corpse, with a noose around its neck and hands bound, was identified as Dariusz Janiszewski, a 35-year-old businessman from Wroclaw, reported missing by his wife four weeks earlier. Janiszewski's body showed signs of torture, starvation, and drowning. Despite an extensive police investigation featuring scuba divers and forensic specialists, no significant evidence was found. Janiszewski, described as a gentle man and an amateur guitarist, had a stable personal life with no known debts, enemies, or criminal record. He and his wife were planning to adopt a child. The case remained a perplexing mystery with no apparent motive or suspects...

  • In 1966, Blanche's Kiser's father, Parker Davis Kiser Sr., passed away. His death was attributed to heart disease at the age of 62. Tragedy struck again in 1973, seven years following her father's death, Blanche discovered her husband, James Taylor, lifeless in their bed. At just 45 years old, he was pronounced dead, with a heart attack cited as the cause. The specter of heart disease seemed to loom over the men in Blanche's life. As our Kinda Murdery story unfolds, the circumstances surrounding these deaths beckon for a closer look, hinting at a deeper, perhaps darker, narrative playing out beneath the surface of Blanche Taylor's seemingly ordinary existence...

  • Coroner Simonds, analyzing the crime scene, focuses on a particularly striking detail—the substantial amount of blood present. This observation leads him to a hypothesis involving more than just the two victims. He speculates that the volume of blood could indicate the involvement of a third person, possibly an abductor who got wounded during a struggle. This theory propels Simonds to recommend a city-wide search of hospitals for anyone with unexplained injuries, a move that could potentially identify an injured suspect. On the other hand, the police, led by Detective Sergeant Lawrence McCarthy, are formulating a different theory. McCarthy posits that the women were forcibly ejected from a moving vehicle. The impact of this action, he theorizes, rendered them unconscious. Lillian Thompson, however, might have briefly regained consciousness, only to collapse again after dragging herself a short distance. This struggle for survival could explain the scrape marks on her face, a desperate attempt to find help before succumbing to her injuries...Find out the truth...Only on Kinda Murdery!

  • It's the early morning of Sunday, November 14, 1920. Chicago is still asleep under the veil of night. But in the shadows, a mysterious figure emerges, draped in a dark overcoat and topped with a black derby hat.

    This myserious person makes a beeline for the Insurance Exchange Building on Eighteenth Street, moving with a purpose that suggests a plan long in the making. In the quiet building, the solitary figure encounters Tony Yanley, the dedicated elevator operator working the morning shift.

    With a firm and decisive tone, the stranger commands, “Take me up to the fourteenth floor.” The request is straightforward, yet it carries an air of urgency. Tony, adhering to his duties, complies, and together they ascend in a heavy silence that fills the elevator. The doors of the elevator stutter open on the fourteenth floor, a signal for the man in the overcoat to stride off towards a specific destination — the offices of Conkling, Price, and Webb, known in the city for their dealings in insurance. What business does this man have here, and why at such an ungodly hour?

    Meanwhile, across town, a telephone operator is jolted by an insistent buzz on her switchboard. It's a call that will soon send ripples across the city. The call is traced back to the very offices the mysterious man had visited. The voice on the other end is urgent: “Give me the police,” it demands...

  • On that fateful day of October 9, 1991, Vincenzo Pipino blended seamlessly with the throng of tourists at the Ducale Palace. The palace, now a museum, stood as a proud reminder of the Venetian Republic's glory. Pipino, with the practiced ease of a man well-versed in the art of deception, followed the tour group through the grandeur of the palace. Surrounded by the trappings of a once-mighty empire, he was acutely aware of the contrast between the opulence of the palace and the grim reality of the adjoining prison, famously connected by the Bridge of Sighs. Here, he was no stranger, his previous visits having laid the groundwork for what he was about to undertake. As the tour progressed into the prison, the shift from marble to limestone marked a transition to a darker chapter in the palace's history. Here, Pipino saw his opportunity. He let the group move ahead, and in the shadowy corridors, he slipped into a cell, the heavy door closing behind him...

  • Through the lens, Pipino's gaze traversed the grandeur of Venice. First, there was the Palazzo Barozzi, a testament to Baroque elegance and a repository of stolen art, thanks to deals with individuals like Pipino. Then, his eyes settled on the Ca’ Dario, its marble facade leaning ominously, a palazzo as famous for its curse as for its art. Owners of this building had faced dire fates - murder, madness, or financial ruin. But it was another location that captured Pipino's keen interest – a centuries-old palazzo across the Grand Canal, a testament to the opulence of its owner, Raul Gardini, one of Italy's wealthiest men. Pipino assessed the building meticulously, noting the skylight forty feet above a secluded alley, the crumbling brick façade, the brittle roof tiles. A perilous climb, certainly, but for a prize hidden within, it seemed worth the risk...
