195 The Beast of Jersey, Edward Paisnel 08.09.2026 1h 19minKevin takes the lead tonight! Edward Paisnel was born in 1925 on the island of Jersey in the English Channel — a small, quiet island that had been occupied by Nazi Germany during WWII and that most people associate with tax havens and dairy cows rather than one of the most disturbing criminal casesin British history. He was a married man, a father figure to foster children, a pillar of the community who dressed as Father Christmas at local events and was known to be kind to children. He was also, for eleven years, the most wanted man in Jersey — a serial rapist who stalked his victims at night in a handmade costume of nails and toads, broke into homes, and terrorized the island's population so thoroughly that families locked their doors for over a decade while police repeatedly came up empty. The episode covers his deeply strange early life, his marriage to a woman who ran a business catering to children, the bizarre occult paraphernalia found in a secret room in his home, the eleven-year investigation that couldn'tcatch him, and the accidental traffic stop in 1971 that finally ended it. It covers his trial, his conviction on multiple counts including rape and indecent assault, his 30-year sentence, his death in 1994, and the question that his case leaves open: how does a man live a double life that specific and that monstrous for over a decade while the people around him see nothing? It also covers the detail that his wife — who had run a business called Auntie Ivu's Party for children — claimed she had no idea. And the detail that searchers found a secret room in his home containing a correspondence with a Satanic church, a specially made jacket covered in nails and concrete, four live toads, and photographs.Contact the show at[email protected]History Goon links: https://www.facebook.com/groups/historygoonhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9d7is-xxGztCVrlezdRL-ACKCB links:https://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/https://twitter.com/CKC_Beerhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyuqDB2Dlszhpc_pGca29whttps://www.facebook.com/groups/257328477392782/ -

192 The Murder of Sydney Loofe; With Author, Chet Hardin 10.08.2026 1h 35minIn this episode, we take a deep dive into the tragic murder of Sydney Loofe, the 24-year-old Nebraska woman whose disappearance in November 2017 quickly became one of the most disturbing cases in recent memory. What began with a Tinder date ended in a horrifying crime that captivated the nation and ultimately led investigators to Aubrey Trail and Bailey Boswell.We’re also joined by author Chet Hardin, who wrote a book about the case based on his interviews with perps, Aubrey Trail and Bailey Boswell. Chet offers a unique perspective on the case and discusses his conversations with the two people at the center of it, giving us an opportunity to examine their accounts, the investigation, and the events surrounding Sydney’s death from a perspective rarely available to the public. And, we had a lot of fun as well. I think we found a new and improved way to have authors on the show.Get Chet Hardin’sbook, The Vampire's Cult: The Untold Story of Obsession, Control, and a Shocking Small-Town Murder on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1464258937/?bestFormat=true&k=the%20vampire%27s%20cult%20chet%20hardin&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-bk-ww_k1_1_11_de&crid=1M7Y0GQ9JO3ES&sprefix=Chet%20HardinContact the show at[email protected]History Goon links: https://www.facebook.com/groups/historygoonhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9d7is-xxGztCVrlezdRL-ACKCB links:https://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/https://twitter.com/CKC_Beerhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyuqDB2Dlszhpc_pGca29whttps://www.facebook.com/groups/257328477392782/ -
191 Cult! Taylor Helzer and The Children Of Thunder 03.08.2026 1h 22minWe’re gonna get CULTY tonight! Its the disturbing rise and violent downfall of Taylor Helzer and the self-proclaimed Children of Thunder cult. What began as a spoiled Mormon Mama's boy led to Helzer deciding that HE was the Mormon prophet, and that he had to defeat the Mormons, and take control. Helzer's increasingly bizarre religious claims spiraled into manipulation, paranoia, and ultimately a brutal series of murders in Northern California in 2000. We explore how charismatic control, apocalyptic beliefs, and unquestioning loyalty enabled unimaginable violence, while breaking down the investigation that exposed the group's crimes and the lasting impact on the victims' families. Thisepisode focuses on the warning signs of coercive cult dynamics and the tragic consequences of unchecked extremism.
