  The Timeline That Doesn't Add Up Officially, three of William Bonin's murders from March 1980 — Ronald Gatlin, Glenn Norman Barker, and Russell Rugh — are on the books as solo kills. No accomplice.

  Bonin came back from war in 1968… but whatever returned wasn’t the same man. William Bonin walked into California colder, emptier—like something had hollowed him out and left the shell behind. His family saw it in his eyes. Not pain. Not trauma. Something darker. Something waiting. Then the frenzy began. Five boys. Abducted. Assaulted. Discarded. Not a spree. Not even chaos. This was a predator off the leash, sloppy, reckless, escalating. And for one brief, fragile moment, the sys...

  Join host Tony Ciaglia and his father Al as they descend into William Bonin’s time in Vietnam. December 1966.

Not because he’s innocent—but because the system has a better idea. Ship him to war. Vietnam doesn’t c...

Police quickly realize they aren’t dealing with a one-off killing. This is a pattern… the calling card of a predator. Victims, mostly sex workers. Strangled. Dumped near the river.

  Slipping Through the Cracks of Justice Season 7, Part 13 – “Hell’s Timeline: The Final Chapter” 22.09.2025 1godz 25min

  In this chilling conclusion of Hell’s Timeline, we expose the brutal truth the official record refuses to tell. David Gore and Fred Waterfield—Florida’s “Killing Cousins”—didn’t begin their slaughter in 1981, as the system claims. Their reign of terror started years earlier, in the mid-1970s, with warning signs flashing in neon. Survivors like Angela Hommell bravely named their attackers, but law enforcement dismissed her as a liar. Other victims fought to escape, reported the assaults, and s...

  Beneath the sunlit rows of Florida’s orange groves, the ground still keeps its secrets. Some were dug up long ago. Others are ghosts—still waiting to be found, still whispering their stories.

And a confession that came not from rumor or suspicion—but from the killer’s own hand. But before we bring Rose’s tragic tale out of the...

  This episode drags you straight into the abyss—into the sickening heart of David Gore’s own confession. You’ll hear the chilling account of The Tragic Story of Missy in Gore’s own words… a crime so vile, so monstrous, that I believe it sealed his fate on death row. For the first time, Gore lays bare how he and Fred Waterfield hunted their victims in the 1970s—how they lured them, tricked them, and killed far more than the courts ever proved. At least thirty souls lost, erased by predators who...
