Some fates are worse than death. One such fate—physically melting into a couch, with flesh fusing to the fabric—was absolutely agonizing and tragically endured by a 36-year-old woman named Lacey Fletcher. Lacey faced various challenges that made her entirely dependent upon her parents, Sheila and Clay. However, instead of providing the necessary medical and psychological support that Lacey needed, her parents allowed her to slowly (and painfully) die before their very eyes. Immobile, nonverbal, and unable to call for help, Lacey was at the mercy of two merciless people who allowed maggots to feed off her dying flesh while she was still alive. This case probes deep into the darkest aspects of human nature, where those expected to protect and nurture by virtue of blood and love instead became instruments of outrageous suffering.

"For those of you who don’t know what hell is like, you will find out." These were the foreboding words a prosecutor uttered in 1981, moments before playing 17 harrowing minutes of audio that documented the appalling abuse of a 16-year-old girl. The courtroom was enveloped in grief, with many in tears or compelled to leave…all except for Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, the two perpetrators responsible for the suffering. Known as “The Toolbox Killers,” this infamous serial killer team sat unfazed, even smiling, as their victim's screams filled the room, a stark testament to their depravity. Responsible for the torture and murder of five teenage girls in California, Bitaker and Norris's actions truly represent the epitome of human cruelty. Their heartbreaking, calculated torment of their victims before their deaths is the stuff of nightmares. TRIGGER WARNING: This case is very graphic in nature and may be difficult to listen to. Please listen with caution.

On what began as a seemingly ordinary afternoon on September 20, 2017, a dense cloud of smoke suddenly enveloped the affluent Southfields neighborhood in Wimbledon, London, casting an ominous veil over the area that signaled the start of an unforeseen and chilling scene. Firefighters, responding to what they initially believed was a routine call about a backyard bonfire gone awry, made a harrowing discovery as they worked to extinguish the flames: dismembered human fingers and a charred nose. The investigation into identifying the incinerated remains culminated in a disturbing revelation that sent shockwaves throughout Europe. Because it became clear that Sophie Lionnet, an innocent 21-year-old French au pair, died a brutal death at the twisted hands of her depraved host parents, Sabrina Kouider and Ouissem "Sam" Medouni. Despite Sabrina's Hollywood-esque exterior and love for the lime light, her inner world was fraught with turmoil, manipulation, and chaos—a stark contrast that ultimately lead to the torture and tragic death of an innocent young woman.

In an act that defied all notions of humanity and sanity, a 19-year-old college student named Austin Harrouff viciously stabbed and cannibalized an innocent couple living in Jupiter, Florida. When police arrived at the horrific scene in August of 2016, Austin was discovered swallowing and spitting out chunks of flesh from one of his victim's faces in an act so horrific, that it seemed to be the manifestation of the darkest depths of human depravity. This grotesque display of violence, however, cannot be detached from the significant role that Austin's mental health played in precipitating these brutal actions. Prior to this devastating event, there were indicators of Austin's deteriorating psychological state, hinting at a profound struggle within. This devastating case forces us to confront questions about the intersection of mental illness and extreme violence, and urges a deeper examination of how society addresses mental health, particularly among the youth, and the mechanisms in place to prevent such tragedies from unfolding. Please listen with caution.

In the second installment of our exploration into Canada's most prolific serial killer, Robert "Willy" Pickton, we reach the harrowing climax of over a decade of unspeakable acts, and unveil the downfall of a truly vile man. We delve into the twisted psyche of Robert Pickton, probing the depths of human depravity to understand how a person could embody such evil. The ensuing investigation, the most extensive in Canadian history, not only uncovered the grim reality of his crimes but also sparked a long-overdue overhaul of law enforcement practices in the wake of this soul-shattering case. The voices of the 49 "invisible" Indigenous women and sex workers, silenced and marginalized, finally resonated through the corridors of justice as the true horror of their fates was brought into the light, honored, and mourned. Yet, as we dissect the intricacies of this case, a chilling question lingers: Did Robert Pickton face the full extent of justice? Especially since recent headlines suggest the alarming possibility that he might once again walk freely among us after all these years...

In the first installment of our in-depth look at Robert "Willy" Pickton, Canada's most prolific serial killer, we delve into the dark and tragic saga of 49 innocent women who met their untimely deaths in the most horrific ways imaginable. These victims, who were pushed to the fringes of society by poverty, addiction, and the necessity of survival sex work, fell prey to a merciless killer who leveraged their societal invisibility and capitalized on the police's glaring indifference and neglect. Part 1 of our two-part series kicks off our deep examination of this horrific case (which sparked the largest serial killer investigation in Canadian history), while simultaneously honoring the memory of the silenced victims. Because the tragedy of these "invisible" women extends beyond their brutal murders, as Robert Pickton further desecrated their remains by feeding them to the pigs on his farm. PLEASE LISTEN WITH CAUTION.

Courtney Clenney, better known as Courtney Tailor to millions of her followers and paying subscribers on social media, catapulted to fame with her seductive photos and explicit content on OnlyFans and Instagram. Yet, beyond this curated online persona, Courtney harbored an extremely volatile nature, as well as an alleged addiction to alcohol and recreational drugs. Deeply entwined in a toxic relationship with her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, Courtney is said to have been the driving force behind a severe pattern of intimate partner violence in which she perpetrated ongoing physical, emotional, psychological, and verbal abuse towards Christian. Their toxic relationship, marred by documented instances of overt violence and aggressive rage, reached a tragic climax in 2022 when Courtney decided to plunge a knife into Christian's body and watch as he bled to death. This devastating act of brutality not only claimed an innocent life in a horrific manner, but permanently pierced the veneer of Courtney's carefully crafted persona to reveal a truly disturbing perpetrator lurking beneath.

Unveiling the story of Mexico's first documented serial killer, Juana Barazza, presents a narrative steeped in stark contrasts and harrowing realities. At the age of 48, this single mother's life was shadowed by a disturbing past filled with horrific childhood abuse and sexual exploitation. Juana's journey as an adult was a vivid study in contradictions: In the public eye, she was celebrated as "La Dama del Silencio" ("The Lady of Silence"), a formidable figure in the vibrant world of Lucha Libre wrestling. However, beneath the facade of her elaborate mask, a sinister truth lurked. Juana was a heartless assassin, implicated in the tragic deaths of nearly 50 elderly women. Despite her notable achievements in the wrestling arena, Juana Barazza's legacy is irreversibly tainted, overshadowed by the grim moniker "La Mataviejitas" (The Little Old Lady Killer).

On Valentine's Day 2013, a truly devastating tragedy unfolded: Reeva Steenkamp, a 29-year-old South African former model, TV personality, and law graduate, adored for her vibrant spirit, was brutally gunned down in her boyfriend's bathroom. The scene that law enforcement encountered was one of stark and shocking contrast: beside Reeva's bloodied and broken form stood none other than global icon Oscar Pistorius, the internationally acclaimed Olympic and Paralympic sprinter. At 27-years-old, Pistorius, an athlete with both legs amputated below the knee, earned global acclaim as "The Blade Runner." His extraordinary athleticism and determination defied the odds and inspired millions worldwide. Yet, in this harrowing moment, Pistorius transformed in the public eye from a celebrated figure to a cold-blooded killer, ominously dubbed "The Blade Gunner." The case sent shockwaves around the world as people grappled with the horrifying descent of a beloved hero into an infamous murderer.

Wrongful accusation and conviction is a living nightmare, a devastating storm of confusion, fear, and disbelief that tears at one's soul and destroys the human spirit. False accusations cut deep, transforming the world into an alien landscape where truth fades and your voice, crying out in innocence, is drowned out by the roar of judgment in a deeply flawed legal system. In the U.S., thousands suffer from wrongful convictions in a system where innocence, though fundamental, is often overshadowed. In this episode, we explore the tragic case of Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, a young woman who suffered a horrific rape, and the ensuing devastation when Ronald Cotton, an innocent man, was wrongfully convicted for this heinous crime. TRIGGER WARNING: Please note that we discuss the difficult topic of sexual assault and rape, and urge you to listen with caution.
Book recommendation: Picking Cotton: Our Memoir of Injustice and Redemption by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, Ronald Cotton, and Erin Torneo

"The Joker," a pinnacle of cinematic villainy, has been an emblem of unadulterated chaos for nearly a century. This character is the very personification of turmoil and lawlessness, marked by a deranged psyche and a telltale, sinister smile. In a chilling parallel to this fictional entity, Jamie Osuna, a real-life criminal bearing a permanent smile tattooed on his face, manifested a similarly distorted moral compass and taste for destruction. Osuna reveled in orchestrating death and devastation and destroying the lives of those around him. While not explicitly emulating The Joker, Osuna's sadistic actions exhibited a similar level of unpredictability and malevolence. He was responsible for heinous acts of violence, including torture, homicide, dismemberment, and decapitation, and left a trail of horror reminiscent of the menacing essence of The Joker.

In the early 1990s, the quiet town of Beelitz, Germany was haunted by a grotesque and horrifying figure known as “The Beast of Beelitz.” This serial killer preyed upon innocent and unsuspecting victims, and subjected them to unspeakable acts of violence before taking their lives. His depravity knew no bounds as he sought to fulfill his twisted desires, which did not end with his victims’ tragic deaths, but continued postmortem as he desecrated their bodies in unimaginably vile ways. Furthermore, “The Beast of Beelitz” added a deeply disturbing layer to his heinous acts by wearing women's underwear during these appalling crimes, and then intentionally evacuating his bowels to satisfy a perverse sexual fetish. Needless to say, “The Beat of Beelitz” went on to become one of the most gruesome serial killers in German criminal history.

As we delve into the sensitive and taboo subject of incest, particularly focusing on a devastating father/daughter scenario in Poland, we face a complex and challenging aspect of victimology: when victims of abuse or trauma become perpetrators themselves. This scenario calls into question the cyclical nature of violence, the psychological impact of trauma, and how it can warp an individual's moral compass. In the unsettling case before us, marked by incest, abuse, and multiple homicides, the line between victim and perpetrator blurs, complicating our notions of empathy, accountability, and culpability. This case is a truly disturbing narrative that defies simple categorization and evokes a complex blend of horror, disgust, empathy, and confusion, while prompting a deep and emotional examination of the human psyche.

Dolls, those eerie, lifeless figures designed to mimic human form, occupy a strange and unsettling place in our psyche, often stirring a blend of intrigue and fear. As rational adults, we typically view dolls as mere objects made of plastic, porcelain, or other synthetic materials. But...what if a doll was not made out of artificial elements? What if the doll was, in actuality, human? This horrifying case delves into the nightmarish world of a twisted 55-year-old Russian man named Anatoly Moskvin, who harbored a disturbing penchant for digging up and “immortalizing” dead children by turning them into dolls.

On what was meant to be a festive and joyous holiday on Christmas Day in 2010, Pierre and Jacqueline Bamu, a Congolese couple living in Paris, faced an unimaginable tragedy. Rather than unwrapping presents and opening boxes, they were confronted with the heartbreaking task of opening their 15-year-old son's coffin. This heart-wrenching tragedy unfolded when their precious son, Kristy, was discovered lifeless in the bathroom of his sister's apartment in London. Kristy's body bore the gruesome marks of extreme violence and cruelty, a grim testament to the horrors he endured over the course of three brutal days in his sister's apartment, which somehow turned into a nightmarish torture chamber. Unbelievably, Kristy's tragic fate did not result from the actions of an unidentified assailant or a random serial killer on the loose. Instead, he met an unimaginably cruel and shocking end at the hands of his own family, after they accused him of being a witch. This devastating case stands as one of the most appalling instances of child abuse ever documented in British history; we urge you to listen with caution.

The case of Alex Skeel highlights a gut-wrenching story of domestic abuse that unfolded in the UK. Alex, a young man in his teens/early twenties, suffered years of horrific physical, emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse at the hands of his depraved girlfriend, Jordan Worth. Alex sustained absolutely brutal physical injuries, psychological torment, and devastating isolation as Jordan wielded absolute control over every facet of his entire existence…until he almost ceased to exist entirely. Just ten days aways from death, Alex's profoundly disturbing case serves as a stark reminder of the often-overlooked plight of male victims within the realm of domestic violence. It compels us to confront the pressing need for greater awareness and understanding surrounding this issue, and underscores the vital importance of acknowledging and addressing all manifestations of abuse that can fester within intimate relationships.
