• The House of Horrors: Billy Mansfield's Family of Predators 02.07.2026 13min

  The House of Horrors: Billy Mansfield's Family of PredatorsIn 1980, along the Florida coast from Spring Hill to Daytona Beach, a chilling pattern emerged that Detroit investigators would later connect to serial killer Billy Mansfield Jr. Six women and teenage girls vanished or were found buried beneath a mobile home in Weeki Wachee Acres, with DNA technology in 2022 finally identifying one victim as 16-year-old Theresa Fillingim after 42 years. The FBI continues searching for additional bodies as recently as June 2026.But this story doesn't start with bodies in the ground. It starts with a father who couldn't stop touching children, a son who learned violence was normal, and a rural Florida community in the 1970s where nobody asked questions and everybody stayed quiet. You're going to meet women who went out for a drink and never came home, a teenage girl at a campground shower who became a Jane Doe for decades, and a family compound so messed up that neighbors just drove past it faster. This is about what happens when institutions fail at every level, when a kid grows up watching his dad evade prison for rape and learns that's just how the world works. We're going through the psychology, the family dynamics, the cultural moment that let predators like Mansfield operate across state lines with no database to connect the dots. You'll hear about the prison escape, the bag brothers, the woman who got away, and the brother who's still living on that property forty years later.This case is still open.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• Blood in the Rocket City: The 1998 Franklin Family Massacre 30.06.2026 11min

  Blood in the Rocket City: The 1998 Franklin Family MassacreOn March 10, 1998, seventeen-year-old Jeffrey Brendan Franklin attacked his own family inside their home at 1305 Camelot Drive in Huntsville, Alabama, killing his parents Gerald and Cynthia Franklin and critically wounding three of his four younger siblings with a sledgehammer, hatchet, butcher knife, and a mechanic’s rat-tail file. The Huntsville Police investigation led by detective Mac McCutcheon, the journals and Satanic writings recovered from Jeffrey’s bedroom, the prescription psychiatric medications he had been taking, and Alabama’s pursuit of the juvenile death penalty turned one afternoon into one of the most studied family-violence cases of the late twentieth century.You always hear about cases like this happening in the bad part of town, and this one happened in the part of town where every dad worked for NASA. Camelot was a subdivision in the safest stretch of Rocket City, Alabama, and it sat at the center of the wildest convergence of late-nineties American chaos you can think of: pediatric Prozac, the Satanic Panic, a cop who was also a Baptist preacher, and a global human rights fight that helped reshape American law four years later. This is the story of an honors-track American family, the seventeen-year-old who came home from school first, and the quiet that settled over a brick house on Camelot Drive that nobody on the cul-de-sac has ever fully shaken.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• Fifty Dollars and a Bus Ticket: The Robert Alton Harris Story 29.06.2026 13min

  Fifty Dollars and a Bus Ticket: The Robert Alton Harris StoryOn July 5, 1978, sixteen-year-old best friends John Mayeski and Michael Baker were abducted, murdered, and left in the brush near Miramar Lake in San Diego, California, by Robert Alton Harris and his younger brother Daniel during the planning of a bank robbery. The investigation, the trial, the criminal profile of the suspect, and the fourteen-year appeals process that followed turned this homicide into one of the most consequential capital cases in American legal history.Robert Alton Harris came into the world already broken. He was born premature because his father kicked his pregnant mother in the stomach. He was abandoned at fourteen, diagnosed with schizophrenia at sixteen, and released from federal custody with fifty dollars and a Greyhound ticket at nineteen. The murders he committed were callous in a way that still leaves people speechless when they read the case files. But the story underneath them is older, stranger, and far more painful than any of the headlines from 1992 ever let on.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• The Real-Life Boogeyman: Albert Fish in 1920s New York 25.06.2026 12min

  The Real-Life Boogeyman: Albert Fish in 1920s New YorkIn 1928 New York City, ten-year-old Grace Budd walks out of her family’s Manhattan apartment with a soft-spoken “farmer” named Frank Howard and disappears, pulling her parents, detectives, and eventually a courtroom into one of the most disturbing homicide investigations in American history. The search for Grace exposes a pattern of missing children, a mild-mannered house painter named Hamilton “Albert” Fish, and a criminal profile that collides with questions of insanity, responsibility, and what justice looks like when the suspect looks like somebody’s grandfather instead of a monster.In this episode, we walk slowly and carefully through Albert Fish’s life, from a brutal orphanage childhood to the day he knocks on the Budd family’s door, and we sit with the human moments around him: the parents who just want their kid to get a job, the kids playing in city hallways, and the detective who will not let this case go. It is a heavy story, but told like a late-night conversation with a friend, with room for context, a little observational humor where it fits, and a focus on the people rather than just the headlines.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• The Beauty School Killer: What Really Happened in Wenatchee 23.06.2026 13min

  The Beauty School Killer: What Really Happened in WenatcheeIn February 2010, 17-year-old Mackenzie Cowell disappeared from the Academy of Hair Design in Wenatchee, Washington, and four days later her body was found on the banks of the Columbia River. The homicide investigation that followed became the largest multi-agency case the region had seen in years, eventually drawing in the FBI and zeroing in on a 29-year-old beauty school classmate named Christopher Scott Wilson, a man with a Hannibal Lecter tattoo on his forearm and a history that made investigators stop and take a very long pause. What started as a missing person report in a small apple-farming town turned into a murder case full of fake informants, a high-profile defense attorney, DNA evidence on duct tape, and a conviction that still sparks debate online today. This is a story about a driven teenager with dinner plans, a man whose obsessions lived right out in the open, a community with a long memory about being burned by the law, and a plea deal that left everybody holding something that felt more like a question mark than an answer. He walked out of prison in December 2023. He still says he didn't do it.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• Two Dead Fathers and a Demon: The 2008 Texas Exorcism Murder 18.06.2026 12min

  Two Dead Fathers and a Demon: The 2008 Texas Exorcism MurderThe 2008 murder of 13-month-old Amora Bain Carson in Tatum, Texas remains one of the most disturbing capital cases in modern American history. Her mother, Jesseca Bain Carson, and the mother's boyfriend, Blaine Keith Milam, were both convicted of capital murder after a sheriff's investigation, forensic evidence including 24 human bite marks, and a partial jailhouse confession placed them at the center of what they later called an exorcism. Milam was sentenced to death; Carson received life without parole under the Texas law of parties. He was executed by lethal injection on September 25, 2025.This one moves slowly through the parts most people don't know. There's a boy who was raised in a sickroom instead of a classroom, and a teenage girl who came into a small inheritance and lost herself somewhere inside it. There's a Ouija board, a pawned chainsaw, and 30 hours that ended with the smallest possible victim. There's the bite mark science, the IQ tests, and the question of who was steering whom. Werner Herzog couldn't stop thinking about it. Neither could the courts, for 17 years.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

  Killed by a Fake Cop: The Kaylee Sawyer StoryThe 2016 murder of Kaylee Sawyer in Bend, Oregon shocked a town that thought it was untouchable. Edwin Enoc Lara, a Central Oregon Community College campus safety officer who had failed his police psychological evaluation, abducted and killed the 23-year-old student in his marked patrol vehicle, sparking a multi-state manhunt, a federal kidnapping case, and the legislation now known as Kaylee's Law.This is the story of how one community college dressed its security guards up to look exactly like cops, then handed a man with documented warning signs the badge, the cage car, and the keys to the campus. Kaylee was walking home after a fight with her boyfriend. He pulled up wearing the full uniform, offered her a ride, and the back door locked behind her. What happened next exposed years of institutional failures nobody acted on. By the end, two states were involved, a survivor named Aundreah Maes was facing him down in court, and the entire state of Oregon was rewriting how campus security operates.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

  The Digital Leash: Serial Murder Under Government SupervisionIn Orange County, California, between October 2013 and March 2014, registered sex offenders Steven Dean Gordon and Franc Cano abducted, raped, and murdered at least five women while actively wearing state and federally mandated GPS ankle monitors. The investigation, led by Anaheim homicide detective Julissa Trapp, eventually cracked the case when a victim's body surfaced on a recycling conveyor belt, triggering a digital dragnet that matched both men's trackers to the crime scenes.The system that was supposed to make these men impossible to ignore was watching everything and doing nothing. Two convicted predators living together, hunting together, cutting off their ankle monitors more than once and literally walking away… and the response was basically a stern letter.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• The Bleach Killer: The Kimberly Saenz Murders 09.06.2026 10min

  The Bleach Killer: The Kimberly Saenz MurdersIn April 2008, licensed vocational nurse Kimberly Clark Saenz committed one of the most disturbing healthcare serial killings in American history at a DaVita dialysis clinic in Lufkin, Texas. The homicide investigation connected Saenz to five patient deaths and four aggravated assaults after eyewitnesses watched her draw concentrated household bleach into syringes and inject it into active venous lines. The FBI, CDC, and FDA toxicologists used a groundbreaking forensic biomarker called 3-chlorotyrosine to confirm the poisonings, leading to a capital murder conviction in 2012.This case has every element that makes true crime so hard to look away from. A small East Texas town. A clinic full of vulnerable patients who trusted the woman in scrubs standing over them. A nurse with a fractured past, a collapsing marriage, and an addiction nobody at work seemed to notice. And two patients sitting in dialysis chairs who looked across the room, realized what was happening, and decided to do something about it before the woman in the white coat got to them next.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• Nobody Would Miss Them: The Craigslist Murders of Richard Beasley 02.06.2026 12min

  Nobody Would Miss Them: The Craigslist Murders of Richard BeasleyIn 2011, Richard Beasley of Akron, Ohio was convicted in the homicide investigation surrounding the murders of Ralph Geiger, 56, David Pauley, 51, and Timothy Kern, 47 — three men lured to a remote Noble County location through a fraudulent Craigslist job posting, then shot and buried in shallow graves. A fourth victim, Scott Davis, 49, survived a gunshot wound and escaped through the Ohio woods after dark, triggering a digital forensics investigation that ultimately put Beasley on death row.Here's what makes this one different: Richard Beasley was not a ghost. He was the large, white-bearded man everyone in Akron called Preacher Rich. He spent years sitting across from vulnerable people in jail visiting rooms and courtroom hallways, making himself indispensable to them, so he could eventually burn it all down when the moment was right. These three men were chosen. Beasley sat across from them in restaurant booths and ran actual interviews, screening for whoever had the fewest people who would notice if they vanished. This is a story about economic desperation, a career con man's patience, and a survivor named Scott Davis who refused to die alone in the dark.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

He fooled federal law enforcement, national television audiences, and the entire American corrections system for decades. The person who finally exposed him was his own daughter, who had spent eighteen months matching her childhood memories against cold case databases.

  The Alexandria Assassin: The Strange Descent of Charles SeveranceIn December 2003, Nancy Dunning, wife of Alexandria, Virginia Sheriff James Dunning, was shot and killed after answering a knock at her front door, launching a cold case homicide investigation that would remain unsolved for over a decade. Ballistics, eyewitness testimony, and forensic evidence eventually linked the murder to Charles Stanard Severance, a Virginia mechanical engineer and failed political candidate who was also convicted of murdering transportation planner Ronald Kirby in November 2013 and music teacher Ruthanne Lodato in February 2014, earning multiple capital murder convictions and consecutive life sentences.Charles Severance was a Navy Admiral's son with a University of Virginia engineering degree who somewhere between a custody ruling and a decade of solitary drift rewrote his entire reality and started knocking on doors with a .22. He had a list, a manifesto, and a philosophy he called wisdom. Three people in one of America's most outwardly stable cities answered their doors on ordinary afternoons and never walked away from them.

  Fuzzy Slipper on the Gas Pedal: The Mackenzie Shirilla Murder CaseOn July 31, 2022, in Strongsville, Ohio, 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla drove a 2018 Toyota Camry into a brick wall at nearly 100 miles per hour, killing her 20-year-old boyfriend Dominic Russo and their 19-year-old friend Davion Flanagan. Black box telemetry, GPS data pulled from a teen location-sharing app, and thousands of recovered text messages combined to transform what looked like a catastrophic accident into one of the most closely watched vehicular homicide trials in Ohio history, ending in a conviction on all 12 felony counts.Dominic had been trying to leave this relationship for years. Davion was just catching a ride home from a party. Somewhere between a curated TikTok persona, a four-year relationship held together by threats, and a dead-end industrial road at 5:30 in the morning, two young men ran out of time. By the time it was over, a medical examiner had rewritten his findings, a Netflix documentary had landed her dad on administrative leave, and one missed legal deadline, a single day, sealed every door shut permanently. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

  The Grief Book: How Kouri Richins Hid a Murder Behind a Children's StoryIn March 2022, Eric Richins of Kamas, Utah died of acute fentanyl intoxication, with five times the lethal dose detected in his system. His wife, Kouri Richins, was convicted of first-degree aggravated murder in March 2026 following a trial built on forensic accounting, toxicology reports, witness testimony, and a handwritten letter discovered hidden in a jail cell. She was sentenced to life without parole on May 13, 2026.What makes this case so hard to shake is the year between Eric's death and Kouri's arrest. She appeared on local television. She published a children's grief book about a boy searching for his late father's presence. She moved through her community as a brave, heartbroken widow while investigators quietly reconstructed a picture of nearly $8 million in debt, a fentanyl pipeline through her own housekeeper, and a mother connected to a separate suspicious opioid death. The financial disaster she'd been hiding from Eric for years was always going to catch up with someone. It caught up with him first.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• Burlap and Blueprints: Rex Heuermann and the Gilgo Beach Murders 19.05.2026 12min

  Burlap and Blueprints: Rex Heuermann and the Gilgo Beach MurdersIn April 2026, Rex Andrew Heuermann pleaded guilty to the murders of at least eight women in one of the most devastating serial homicide cases in Long Island history, after a decades-long investigation by the Suffolk County Police Department and the Gilgo Beach Homicide Task Force broke the case through forensic DNA evidence, surveillance, and genetic genealogy. Victims including Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello disappeared between 1993 and 2010 along New York's South Shore, with some remains found wrapped in burlap near Ocean Parkway.He was an architect. He designed buildings for a living. He had a wife, two kids, and a house in the suburbs where he grew up. And on a hard drive in the basement of that house, there was a Word document with sections labeled "Supplies," "Body Prep," and "Things to Remember." This is the story of how Rex Heuermann hid in plain sight for over thirty years, how corruption inside the very police department supposed to stop him helped him do it longer than anyone wants to admit, and how a discarded pizza crust in a Manhattan trash can undid everything he thought he'd built.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• Always Laughing: How Demorris Hunter Hid a Serial Killer Behind a Friendly Face 14.05.2026 13min

  Always Laughing: How Demorris Hunter Hid a Serial Killer Behind a Friendly FaceIn 2002, California parolee Demorris Andy Hunter shot and killed forty-one-year-old Ivora Denise Huntley in Oakland after she intervened in a domestic assault, then fled to Orlando, Florida, where he strangled and concealed the body of thirty-eight-year-old Theresa Ann Green before stealing the identity of a Washington D.C. executive to fund his life as a federal fugitive while his face aired on America's Most Wanted. Convicted of Huntley's murder in California in 2005, Hunter wasn't extradited to Florida to face charges in the Green case until 2015, with the trial concluding in April 2026 with a unanimous twelve to zero death penalty recommendation.Everyone who knew Demorris Hunter said the same thing: he was the nice one, always laughing, the one parents were glad to have around. What they didn't know was that behind that warmth he was building a body count across two states, living under a stolen name, and letting a thirteen-year-old boy grow into a man in his late thirties before anyone answered for what happened to his mother. This one is about the space between who people think you are and what you actually are, and about the people who paid the price for that gap.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• The Peacemaker: Jesse Alvarez and the Murder of Mario Fierro 12.05.2026 12min

  The Peacemaker: Jesse Alvarez and the Murder of Mario FierroOn February 1, 2021, Mario Fierro, a 37-year-old social studies teacher and football coach at Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego, California, was shot and killed outside his home by Jesse Milton Alvarez, the ex-boyfriend of Fierro's fiancée, fellow teacher Amy Gembara. Alvarez had been systematically stalking Gembara for over a year before the homicide, and despite Gembara filing a domestic violence restraining order application in January 2020, a San Diego Superior Court judge denied her petition, citing insufficient evidence of abuse under the legal definitions in place at the time.What makes this case so hard to sit with is the documented trail of warnings that couldn't clear a legal bar. A school's social media post celebrating a teacher's engagement became the starting point for a premeditated murder. A judge called the evidence a tie. A stalker called his internet searches therapeutic. And a man who spent every day of his professional life as a peacemaker walked out his front door one February morning and never made it to school. This episode covers the obsession, the institutional failures, and why the murder of Mario Fierro changed how California thinks about what abuse actually looks like.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• Black Swan Murder: The Trial of Ashley Benefield 07.05.2026 11min

  Black Swan Murder: The Trial of Ashley BenefieldIn Lakewood Ranch, Florida, on September 27, 2020, retired U.S. Navy intelligence officer Douglas Benefield was fatally shot by his wife, Ashley Benefield, a former professional ballerina and Trump campaign staffer. The Manatee County homicide investigation led to a July 2024 murder trial in which Ashley mounted a battered spouse syndrome defense, resulting in a manslaughter conviction and a 20-year prison sentence handed down December 3, 2024.Doug and Ashley Benefield met at a Palm Beach political dinner in August 2016, and thirteen days later they were married. Thirteen. They launched a ballet company together that imploded almost as fast as it started, burned through the lives of forty-seven international dancers in the process, and then spent years buried in restraining orders and courtrooms before arriving at the day they were supposed to be loading a U-Haul and starting something like a fresh chapter. The medical examiner's findings and Ashley's testimony told two very different stories about what happened in that bedroom. Doug's daughter Eva has been on TikTok ever since, building half a million followers and asking why.#BlackSwanCase #AshleyBenefield #TrueCrime #ManslaughterTrial #DomesticViolenceTrial #StandYourGround #TrueCrimePodcast🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• Carroll Edward Cole: The Man Who Asked to Be Stopped 05.05.2026 12min

  Carroll Edward Cole: The Man Who Asked to Be StoppedCarroll Edward Cole was convicted of murdering at least thirteen women across California, Nevada, Wyoming, and Texas between 1971 and 1980, making him one of the most prolific and underdocumented serial killers of the twentieth century. Despite repeated contact with law enforcement, psychiatric evaluation at multiple state hospitals, and documented confessions of violent homicidal urges, Cole was discharged and released each time, enabling a decade-long killing spree that left investigators scrambling to connect cases spanning half the country.This is not a story about a killer who hid in the shadows. Carroll Cole walked into police stations and told officers exactly what he planned to do. He sat across from psychiatrists and described his compulsions with clinical precision. He asked, repeatedly and explicitly, across twenty years, to be locked up before he hurt anyone. The system heard him every time and let him go anyway. What follows is one of the most infuriating true crime cases you will ever hear, and it is a story about a broken system every bit as much as it is about a broken man.#CarrollEdwardCole #SerialKiller #TrueCrime #MentalHealthFailure #TrueCrimePodcast #SerialKillerHistory #ColdCase🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

• Six Months of Warnings: What Rochester Missed Before the Brom Massacre 30.04.2026 13min

  Six Months of Warnings: What Rochester Missed Before the Brom MassacreIn February 1988, sixteen-year-old David Brom murdered his parents, Bernard and Paulette, and two of his younger siblings, Diane and Richard, with an axe at their home in Rochester, Minnesota, in what became the most notorious mass killing in Minnesota state history. The investigation by the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office, the subsequent trial involving competing psychiatric testimony, and a landmark insanity defense ruling would shape Minnesota criminal law for decades.The Brom family was everything a quiet Catholic suburb was supposed to produce. Polite. Organized. Deeply religious. People who drove past that house felt good about living in Rochester. And inside it, a sixteen-year-old had been telling anyone who would listen, for six months, exactly what he was planning to do. They figured he was just venting. He wasn't. This episode goes inside the psychological collapse that nobody caught in time, the cultural circus that tried to blame a music tape for four murders, and the 37-year legal journey that ended with David Brom walking out of prison in 2025. Rochester is still working through it.#truecrime #truecrimepodcast #davidbrom #familymurder #rochestermn #juvenilejustice #truecrimecommunity🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.
