  • Tracy talks about the Eastburn Family murders in North Carolina in 1985. Katie Eastburn and two of her daughters were brutally murdered while her husband was 500 miles away at an Air Force captain training school. Tracy goes through the rollercoaster of a trial, the second trial, acquittal, and the historic third trial with newly presented evidence.

    For research, Tracy referenced an article in The New Yorker called Three Trials for Murder and the book Innocent Victims: The True Story of the Eastburn Family Murders by Scott Whisnant.

  • In Part 2, Tracy talks about how Earle goes to Canada and continues murdering women. After two murders in Canada, many outfit changes, visits to several towns, an attempt to cross the border back into the US, and an actual town mob hunting him down, he is apprehended by authorities. Although he has committed dozens of murders, he is only tried for the final two attributed to him. Tracy goes through the trial and investigations.

    For research, Tracy referenced two books: The Laughing Gorilla by Robert Graysmith and The Gorilla Man Strangler Case by Alvin Esau

  • In Part 1, Tracy talks about the origins of Earle Nelson, his traumatic upbringing, both parents dying, his multiple traumatic brain injuries, and bouts of syphilis (which offered possible mercury and arsenic poisonings as treatment), his insatiable sexual appetite, and his overt religious fervor. Nelson had serval aliases and traveled all across the US to strangle women to death and sexually assault them post-mortem. There is a very long list of murders attributed to him and he worked in so quickly and randomly, he was very hard to pin down by authorities.

    For research, Tracy referenced two books: The Laughing Gorilla by Robert Graysmith and The Gorilla Man Strangler Case by Alvin Esau

    The cocktail for this episode is The Dirty Wanderer. It's simple and classic.

  • Tracy talks about the disappearance and murder of Sonya Ivanoff, an Alaska native woman.

  • Tracy talks about the disappearance and probable rape and murder of 14 year old Thora Chamberlain. Thomas Henry McMonigle is the primary suspect and all evidence points to his guilt. He tries his best to throw the FBI off his trail, but he's not very cunning and he isn't successful. This story is a total wild-goose chase that involves other people and uncovers more murders or possible murders. Tracy relied on the book The Murder of Thor’s Chamberlain by Rod Kackley.

    The cocktail for this episode is a classic; Mai Tai! It's tropical and delicious- we used the original Trader Vic's recipe.

    CLASSIC MAI TAI
    1 1/2 oz. aged rum

    3/4 oz. lime juice
    1 oz. orgeat syrup
    1 oz. dark rum

  • April talks about the history of the talking board, more specifically, the Ouija Board. In the United States, prior to the release of The Exorcist, the Ouija was a way to communicate with the afterlife that caused no harm, was a comfort, and often enjoyed by families and friends. During the 1970's the Ouija Board became a symbol synonymous with Devil worship, demonic possession, and evil spirits. April also shares some second-hand accounts and spooky stories.

    The cocktail for this episode is called the Zozo Demon. It is creamy, sweet, and delicious and is sure to take the edge off this spooky story!

    2 oz. vodka
    2 oz. amaretto
    1 1/2 oz. kirshvasser
    2 oz. white chocolate liquor
    4 oz. half and half

  • Tracy tells us about the torture, mutilation, rape, and murder of Donna Marie Dixon from Newport News, Virginia. She was a 17 year old runaway living in Atlanta, Georgia when she was accused of stealing by Timothy 'Wes' McCorquodale. McCorquodale took her back to the apartment where his girlfriend, her 3 year old daughter, and her pregnant roommate were living. He tortured her in brutal ways through the night until the next morning in the living room of the apartment and eventually his torture ended by strangling her to death with his bare hands.
