Psychologist Rolio May said, âHate is not the opposite of love. Apathy is.â Over the course of the last three episodes, weâve discussed how apathy paved the way for a horrific criminal to wreak havoc on the women of Vancouver. Willie Pickton was only allowed to continue his crimes, to rack up the number of bodies he did, because the government and the police didnât do their jobs, were apathetic to the cries for help coming from the downtown eastside. Today, we have finally reached the conclusion to this chilling story. Justice will finally be served, but just a little too late for too many women.

Once an avalanche starts, thereâs nothing that can be done to stop it. You can prevent them, you can prepare for them, but by the time you start to hear the ice cracking, itâs almost always too late. The case of Willie Pickton feels a little bit like an avalanche. For the past two episodes, the people in Vancouverâs Downtown Eastside have been hearing ominous creaks, trying hard to determine what the cause is. Unfortunately for dozens of women, help wouldnât come in time. Part 3 of this chilling true story.

When we last left off, Willie Pickton was just starting his reign of terror over the women of the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. Nancy Clark was missing, along with several other women, whose disappearances would never be solved. The Pickton farm was quickly becoming a criminal headquarters, thanks to Dave Picktonâs infatuation with the Hellâs Angels gang. The Vancouver Police didnât care. The missing women were sex workers and addicts, and therefore, less worthy of effort. The horror of this story is not only the monstrous actions of Willie Pickton, but also the apathy of the same people that were supposed to protect and serve. Join us for part 2 of this chilling story.

In his book, Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime, Eric Hickey wrote about a type of victim that he called, âthe Less Deadâ. These are people that are seen by the media or law enforcement as having less value than others. Usually sex workers, drug addicts, houseless people, and sexual or racial minorities. The case weâre discussing today is about dozens of these types of victims. Women whose disappearances were ignored or were straight up covered up because they happened to be addicts or sex workers. One police officer told a womanâs terrified family that the series of missing women were âjust junkies and hookers. Donât waste our time.â These were human beings. With friends and families, hopes, dreams, stories, lives. The fact that the authorities ignored their disappearances for so long is one of the worst miscarriages of justice that weâve seen in our decades of true crime study. This killer roamed the streets of Vancouver, like a shark swimming among a school of fish, unchecked and under the radar, taking almost 50 lives before anyone stopped him.

Adults like to think of kids as the embodiment of innocenceâand in a lot of ways, they are. ButâŠremember what it was like to actually be a kid? Did other kids seem innocent to us then? Not so much. The playground could be a battle zone. Gym class could be Lord of the Flies. Kids have strong, complicated emotions just like we do, but without the impulse control that comes with a fully-developed prefrontal cortex. Most of the time, the worst thing that comes from that is a tantrum in the middle of Costco, or a loud, teary breakup in the middle school cafeteria that ends up going viral on TikTok. But for some kids, just like some adults, the outcome is much, much darker. Case 1: The story of a 14 year old aspiring serial killer who murdered his unsuspecting best friend. Case 2: A greedy young man took the lives of his entire family just to inherit some cash.

In Part One last week, we introduced you to the strange world of Marcel Petiot, doctor, failed politician, and serial killer in wartime Paris. The horrific discovery of dismembered bodies at Dr. Petiotâs mansion had triggered a massive manhunt, and weâre going to pick up the police investigation now in Part Two of âThe Peopleâs Monster.â Note: Katie was sick this week, so Whitney had to take this one solo! Katie will be back next episode.

There arenât many darker places to be than in a city occupied by an enemy during a brutal war, living without freedom, in constant fear, and with little or no recourse to justice. For a crime to be able to shock even people living under those conditions, it has to be something truly terrifying, and that is what the people in Paris during World War II experienced when a series of gruesome murders were uncovered. Join us for part 1 of the disturbing story of serial killer Dr. Marcel Petiot.

Sometimes, danger comes in hot, with blazing red flags and alarm bells so loud they drown out everything else. Plenty of warning signs to activate the fight or flight instinct, put us on guard. But thatâs not always the way it happens. Sometimes, danger slinks in silently, coiling itself around us without us even noticing, until itâs already around our throatâand any chance for escape is long past. Today, we have one of those stories, where a talented young woman didnât realize she was in a killerâs sights until it was far too late.

Itâs kind of hard to pin down what the first slasher movie was. Do you start with âPsychoâ in 1960? Go even further back? But thereâs no real doubt when the genre blossomedâthe 1970s. And that makes sense, because the 1970s was also when the shocking crimes of serial killers really permeated the national consciousness. You ask someone to name a serial killer, thereâs a good chance theyâll name someone who was mostly or exclusively active in the â70sâBundy, Gacy, BTK, Son of Sam. The slasher movies tapped into a growing awareness that there really were terrifyingly dangerous people out there, killers who didnât even have to know you to want you dead. This is the story of the horrible murders of two young hitchhikers, at a time when such cases were startlingly common.

Like most American Millennials, I was subjected to Drug Abuse Resistance Education, or DARE. It was the typical kind of âDrugs Are Bad, mmmkay?â sort of thing. Police officers would come to school and show 2nd graders pictures of smoker lungs and suggest that everyone and their mom would be peer pressuring you to smoke weed and/or crack, which was not as big of an issue as some of us might have hoped. During one such class, we were being taught about the danger of gang violence and we were told to draw what we thought a gang member would look like. Yes, it does sound like a potentially extremely racist arts and crafts session, but yours truly decided to get creative. I drew a woman wearing a crop top and JNCO jeans. The DARE officer looked at my drawing and told me that women werenât ever members of gangs, but were usually girlfriends, which made my tiny feminist hackles raise. What do you MEAN there werenât any lady gang members? Whatever men could do, women could do, right? EQUALITY, RIGHT? If she had been prepared for nuance beyond her vaguely racist lesson, she might have talked about the culture of toxic masculinity that pervades most gangs as we think about them today and often, women have to carve out their own niche when it comes to organized crime. Officer Silva, this oneâs for you.

Obsession can be a good thing. An obsessed athlete can spend hours practicing to be the best they can be, an obsessed collector can find joy and community in the thrill of the hunt, or obsession can drive an artist to explore the human condition in a way that moves everyone that sees their art. But obsession can veer into something darker if the object of it is a person. Thatâs how you get a stalker. Someone who is so consumed with the life of another almost always pushes the boundaries of appropriate behavior. If youâve seen the show Baby Reindeer, youâll know that being the target of a stalkerâs attention can have serious consequences. Today, we have two stalker stories for you. The first is about how a stalker can project their own feelings of love and affection onto their victim, to a violent outcome. In the second, weâll tell you a story about how one of the largest companies in the world harassed a couple for the crime of blogging. This is One Step Behind: A Stalkers Grab Bag.

When it comes to stuff, I really feel like counterfeit can be just as good as the real thing. Give me a lab-created diamond any day; I can show off some sparkle without robbing a bank. Same goes for shoes and bags and perfume dupesâIâm happy to sport a convincing knockoff. Fake isnât always bad. But when it comes to people, itâs a whole different story. Especially when weâre talking fake doctor, or fake financial advisorâŠor as weâll see in todayâs story, fake assassin. Join us for a story of counterfeit clout, astounding gullibility, and greed, that when mixed all together, led to a deadly conclusion.

I'm not going to try and do his voice because it'd tear my throat up, but Hollywood legend Jack Palance once said, "The only two things you can truly depend upon are gravity and greed." Greed has been a motivation in more true crime cases than I can count, and it's astonishing how a grasping desire for dollars and cents can twist the human heart. It can drive someone to acts of both chilling cruelty and jaw-dropping stupidity, and in this week's case we get both. Join us for a bizarre true story of a heartless murder for hire that took 11 long years to solve.

Almost everyone who walks into a casino feeling confident that theyâre gonna walk out richer is what is technically known as âa sucker.â Every game you play at a casino gives the house an edge. Not much of oneâotherwise, why would people play? Players have to win a decent portion of the time, thatâs why they keep putting their money down on the table. But behind the glitz and glamour, casinos run on cold mathematical certainty. Over the long term, over hundreds of hands of cards and rolls of the dice and spins of the wheel, the house ultimately always wins. But what if they didnât? What if people, through brainpower and daring, managed to beat the odds and come out on top? Itâs a tantalizing thoughtâand for the people in these three stories, it was too tempting to pass up.

Our homes are meant to be where we feel the safest, so it makes sense that thereâs an entire horror movie subgenre dedicated to home invasions. The Strangers, Panic Room, Funny Games, When a Stranger Calls, even Jordan Peeleâs Us. All those movies play on the innate fear we have that our most peaceful area would be disturbed by those that would do us harm. Unfortunately, there are people out there that would do us harm just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Today, weâre finishing one of those stories. Join us for part 2 of the story of the Dartmouth Murders.

Schopenhauer wrote, âFate shuffles the cards, and we play.â Every day, every decision we make sparks a chain reaction of others, leading us down a particular path. And with every choice, a universe of other un-choices spins away behind us, forgotten. We all like to think weâre the master of our own destiny, but sometimesâŠwe fall to the whims of chance instead. This is one of those storiesâof two boys whose monster egos sent them down a path of destruction, and two innocent victims whose only crime was being there.

We tend to think of doctors as leading pretty cushy, privileged livesâlots of money, social status, and respect. But a dark trend has been developing in recent years, and itâs only getting worse. Increasingly, doctors are experiencing violence at the hands of their patients. Sometimes itâs a verbal threat, a push or a shove. Sometimes itâs stalking. And sometimes, itâs murder. This is one of those stories, about a woman whose obsession with physical perfection led her to an unimaginable act.

Itâs not unusual or unhealthy to go a little wild when youâre youngâto just go looking for a good time with little thought for the consequences. Itâs just how human beings are made. But if youâre like that your whole life, relentlessly looking out for your own pleasures and barely aware of the damage you cause along the way, youâre likely to land yourself and everyone around you in a whole mess of trouble.

Thereâs an old saying: A gilded cage is still a cage. Meaning, you can be in what looks like an enviable situationâall your needs met, plenty of pretty toys to entertain youâand still feel like youâre in prison. The human soul doesnât take well to being kept in a box, no matter how nice the box may be. Thereâs a pull toward freedom, even if you have to risk everything to answer it. This is the story of one of the strangest murder cases in American historyâa 1920s true Hollywood story about what can happen when a pretty pet gets restless and starts looking for a way to stretch its wings.

Romantic jealousy is, for the most part, fundamental to the human experience, one of the uglier strands in the tangled mess that makes up a heart. Some people manage to overcome it completely, most of us will be familiar with the occasional hot stab of possessiveness. And some people will let jealousy consume them like a wildfire. If that person is also broken in a hundred other ways, then chances are, somebodyâs gonna get hurt. Join us for a story of stalking, rage, betrayal and double murder.
