In this Kinda Murdery Classic the discovery of the child's body, lying frozen in a cornfield, on Christmas Eve, in Chester, Nebraska, turned a the solitary hunter from a mere witness to an urgent harbinger of a dark mystery that needed unraveling. His pulse quickening, he retraced his steps out of the cornfield, each footfall a heavy note in the otherwise silent expanse. He sought help with the weight of his grim find pressing down upon him, a burden he could not bear alone. The police officers, upon their prompt arrival, plunged into the investigative fray, their professional detachment strained by the young age of the victim. They were driven by the conviction that somewhere, perhaps within the quiet homes dotted across the sleepy town or beyond its borders, there was a void where this child once existedâa family missing their little one. Someone must be missing, "Little Boy Blue."

Imagine a quiet town in Pennsylvania, August 28, 2003. The stage was set for a chilling tale that will send shivers down your spine. Brian Wells, an unassuming pizza delivery driver, stepped into a bank, but it wasn't a simple transaction he sought. No, he demanded a staggering $250,000, warning of a bomb with a deadly countdown. His voice trembled as he spoke those ominous words to the teller. Now, picture this: Brian, carrying a mere $8,702, exits the bank, encircled by the tightening grip of law enforcement, a bizarre device is strapped around his neck, a device he claims is a bomb. The situation escalates, hearts racing, as the police and media gather...

The legend of H.H. Holmes and his so-called "Murder Castle" is an American Tall Tale gone bad... Holmes wasnât just any killerâhe was one of Americaâs first real serial killers. And it wasnât just the body count that made him infamous. It was that house. Initially, people thought it was just a regular hotel, a smart business move by Holmes to cash in on the 1893 Chicago Worldâs Fair. But, when the police finally took a good, hard look inside, they found something straight out of a nightmare. The Murder Castle wasnât some run-of-the-mill hotel with a few secrets behind the wallpaper and a revolving bookcase. No, this thing was a cathedral to the macabre. It wasnât built for guestsâit was built for victims. As for the body count? Well, thatâs still up for debate. Some say Holmes killed as few as nine people. Others think he mightâve murdered as many as 200...Either way, he wasnât running a hotelâhe was running a slaughterhouse. Some might even say he was running the prototypical, "Haunted House"...If you found Kinda Murdery because of the Hillbilly Horror Stories Halloween Special, thank you so much for being here!

The life of Earl Nelson was dark and awful. His crimes were even worse. Murder. Mutilation. Necrophilia. Infanticide. I honestly can't, in good conscience, recommend this episode.

n 1928, a Colorado judge handed 38-year-old Danny Daniels, former safecracker for the notorious Kimes Gang in Oklahoma, two sentences: The first was 15 years hard labor for assault on a police officer. The second was 13 years, no hard labor, for armed robbery. Both sentences were to be served at at the Colorado State Penitentiary at Cañon City. Danny saw two problems with that. First off, Governor Billy Adams had promised the people of Colorado there would be NO PAROLE on his watch. Secondly, the sentences would be served CONSECUTIVELY...Danny swore there was no way he was going to do 28 years at Cañon City without the possibility of parole...

American Monster Richard Chase, known as the âVampire of Sacramento,â stood apart even in the twisted world of serial killers. From a young age, he was gripped by powerful delusions. The conviction that his blood was prepetually turning to dust inside his veins was just one of many. These were not just fleeting fantasies, but deeply ingrained beliefs that dictated every aspect of his life and set the stage for the horrors he would later unleash...

In the shadowy corners of the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington State, Colton Harris-Moore emerged not merely as a troubled teenager but as a captivating figure who danced on the edge of legality. He became infamous as the "Barefoot Bandit," a moniker earned from his habit of executing crimes shoeless. Harris-Moore's crimes weren't petty acts of vandalism but a spree that captured the nation's imagination and law enforcement's frustration. His escapades included stealing cars, boats, and even airplanesâan improbable feat for someone with no formal training. His ability to evade capture became legendary, turning him into a media sensation and earning him a legion of online admirers who viewed him as a modern-day folk hero. But not everyone was enamored. Critics pointed to the trail of victims left in his wake, each one facing the reality of lost property and violated privacy. The debate raged: Was he a Robin Hood figure or simply a criminal? One thing is for sure. Colt was just a kid. Find out more on the thrilling second episode of Kina Murdery's 7th Season!

Pushing the door open, Marie's eyes were met with a scene she would never forget. There, slumped in his chair, was Joseph Bowne Elwell. His usually composed demeanor was replaced by a haunting stillness. A single bullet wound, precise and deadly, marred the center of his forehead. Blood had pooled around the wound, seeping into the intricate patterns of the Persian rug below. The room was eerily quiet, the silence only broken by the faint tick of the grandfather clock in the corner. The ornate decorations and lavish furnishings seemed out of place with the stark reality of the violent act that had taken place. Marie Larsen stood frozen, her mind racing to comprehend the horror before her. Joseph Bowne Elwell was no ordinary man. At forty-four, he had climbed the social ladder, amassing a fortune that would make most men green with envy. With just his sharp mind, impeccable taste, and the gentlemanly manners his mother instilled in him, he built an empire. By the time the bullet found its mark, Elwell owned $500,000 in real estate, $100,000 in personal property, a stable of twenty thoroughbreds racing at Latonia, a yacht in Palm Beach for the winter, five automobiles, and a swanky house on 70th Street. So who killed the famous bridge expert and playboy? Did anyone?

The conclusion of "A Cry from the Grave."
Moorestown, New Jersey is a quiet, beautiful Quaker settlement, much the same as a thousand other small American communities. Along about dusk, the children drop their play, hurry home to their evening meal, and then go to bed. Nobody would pick Moorestown as the scene of a dastardly crime. Still, it was there that real-life, New Jersey-super-sleuth Ellis H. Parker, encountered a case of killing perpetrated by a man, who was, beyond all doubt, the most fiendish and cunning arch-criminal he had ever come in contact with during 35 years of man-hunting!
Super detective Ellis H. Parker returns, not long after, "The Case of the Disappearing Parrot," for another tale of grim deeds in The Garden State. Get ready for Kinda Murdery's, "A Cry from the Grave: An Ellis H. Parker Mystery!"
