Tyler Hadley was just 17 years old when he brutally murdered both of his parents inside their Florida home - and then, astonishingly, threw a house party in the same space where their bodies lay hidden. In July 2011, after killing Mary-Jo and Blake Hadley, Tyler invited dozens of friends over, blasted music, drank, danced, and posed for photos, even showing a friend the bodies of his murdered parents. The crime shocked investigators not only for its violence, but for the chilling lack of remorse and the surreal normalcy that followed the gruesome crime. This case isn’t just about patricide; it’s about a young person struggling with severe internal distress that ultimately manifested in unimaginable violence - and two innocent parents who paid the ultimate price.

On New Year’s Day 2023, 39-year-old Ana Walshe vanished from her Massachusetts home, leaving behind three young children and a husband whose story immediately raised suspicion. What followed was not a frantic search for a missing wife, but a methodical excavation of lies, digital breadcrumbs, and extremely damning physical evidence. Alarming surveillance footage, outrageous internet searches, countless bloodstains, and a trail of discarded items (including a hacksaw) painted a picture not of panic, but of preparation and brutality. This episode breaks down the current case against Brian Walshe step by step — from motive to means to aftermath — and examines how a crime meant to erase an entire human being instead became a masterclass in criminal stupidity.

This episode examines the case of the German black metal band Absurd, whose fixation on shock value spiraled past theatrics and into real, deadly violence. What began as teenage posturing within the underground metal scene spiraled into a senseless, premeditated murder carried out by three boys/bandmates desperate for notoriety. We break down how a subculture steeped in anti-authoritarian performance art became the staging ground for real violence; how a group of teenagers radicalized themselves into believing they were part of something bigger, darker, and more meaningful than they actually were; and how the murder of Sandro Beyer, an innocent 14-year-old boy, became the gruesome centerpiece of their self-created mythology.

Once is chance. Twice is coincidence. Three times feels like a pattern. But what about 40+?More than forty young men have vanished under nearly identical circumstances and share a strikingly similar victimology - same age range, same build, same final narrative: “He was drinking… he wandered off… must’ve slipped into the river.” Clean, convenient explanations. But when do multiple accidents stop feeling accidental? And when does coincidence start looking like choreography? Those questions are the backbone of the Smiley Face Killers, which is actually a theory suggesting a possible serial killing network operating across the United States. Law enforcement agencies overwhelmingly reject it. But a small group of former NYPD detectives and private investigators remain unconvinced. And that divide, between official rulings and unresolved doubt, is where this tragic yet fascinating case still lives.

David Fuller, aka the “Morgue Monster”, committed the largest known necrophilic crime spree in British legal history. For over three decades, Fuller exploited his job as an electrician at two U.K. hospitals throughout the 1990s and 2000s, slipping into morgues with full, unrestricted access. There, he sexually violated more than 100 female corpses — victims ranging in age from children to the elderly — and documented everything with chilling precision. Investigators later uncovered over one million photos and videos of his atrocities. Fuller’s violence didn’t begin with the morgues. He murdered two innocent young women, Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce, not only to end their lives, but to ensure access to their bodies afterward. This case is one of the most disturbing ever uncovered — grotesque, calculated, and psychologically twisted.

Eli Weaver called himself the “Amish Stud.” On the surface, he was a quiet, married father of five living by the plain rules of a conservative Amish community in Ohio. But behind the image of a devoted husband, he was slipping away with a hidden cell phone, prowling sex chat rooms, and pursuing non-Amish women he manipulated, discarded, and even managed to impregnate. It wasn’t enough for Eli to cheat on his devoted Amish wife, Barbara - he wanted out of his marriage altogether. And in a world where divorce is nearly impossible, he decided the simplest solution, sadly, was homicide...

Trigger warning: This episode addresses incest and generational child sexual abuse, topics that may be especially difficult for some listeners. Please listen with care.The Goler Clan case is one of the most harrowing, and somewhat hidden, tragedies in North American history: a remote, impoverished community in the hills of Nova Scotia where generational incest, abuse, and neglect went unchecked for decades. What outsiders dismissed as a "hillbilly sex ring” was, in reality, a closed-off world where children were trapped in cycles of violence they couldn’t name and had almost no power to escape. When authorities finally intervened in the 1980s, what they uncovered was devastating: a closed community so isolated, so ignored, that the line between victim and perpetrator had blurred across generations. The arrests that followed shattered the quiet of the Annapolis Valley and exposed the brutal truth of what had been going on for decades. This is a case steeped in horrific darkness, and every detail forces us to confront the uncomfortable question: how many horrors thrive simply because no one bothers to look, care, or act?

In Part 2 of our in-depth, two-part coverage of Ed Gein, we explore the years following his mother’s death — when grief, repression, and obsession finally cracked open. Gein escalated from grave-robbing to murder, driven by a delusional need to resurrect his dead mother and a grotesque desire to quite literally step into her skin. Eventually, inside his farmhouse, investigators uncovered a nightmare stitched together from human remains: masks, corsets, lampshades, skulls, belts, and even a box containing the genitalia of nine different women. It was a discovery that redefined American horror.

This episode unpacks the psychology behind Gein’s depravity, including his warped devotion to his domineering mother, his dissociation, and his fixation with anatomy. We also confront the question that still divides experts today: was Ed Gein criminally insane? Because the truth isn’t that Ed Gein was born evil. It’s that he was built by the only woman he ever loved...

In Part 1 of our in-depth two-part coverage of Ed Gein, the groundwork is laid for one of the most depraved and psychologically unhinged figures in criminal history.

Ed Gein, aka The Butcher of Plainfield, was a man destroyed by the death of the only person he'd ever truly known and loved: his mother. For his entire life, Augusta Gein ruled Ed with a Bible in one hand and a clenched fist in the other. She shamed every flicker of desire, punished every natural impulse, and convinced Ed that all women were wicked, sex was sin, and men were filth. Under her suffocating control, Ed’s identity didn’t form — it fossilized. So when Augusta finally died, Ed didn’t just grieve; he unraveled. Night after night, he crept into cemeteries under the Wisconsin moon to exhume the bodies of dead women who reminded him of his mother. Then, he dragged them back to his rancid farmhouse where he hung, carved, and skinned their corpses. Piece by piece, he built what he called a “woman suit,” stitched from human skin and shaped in his mother’s image. It wasn’t enough to love Augusta, or even to worship her. Ed Gein wanted to be her....to climb into her flesh, zip it up, and walk the earth as his mother reborn.

In this episode, I'm joined by special guest Bridget Marquardt of Ghost Bunny and Girls Next Level podcasts!

The legend of Kuchisake-onna, aka the Slit-Mouthed Woman, has haunted Japan for centuries. She’s said to appear on empty streets after dark, her face hidden behind a surgical mask and her voice low as she asks one pointed question: “Am I pretty?” If you answer wrong, or even hesitate, the Slit-Mouthed Woman will remove hrt mask to reveal a mouth carved from ear to ear before chasing you down to make sure you match. Some say that in life, she was the unfaithful wife of a samurai who was punished for her betrayal. Others claim she’s the spirit of a woman disfigured and left to rot. But whatever the truth, beneath the legend lies something deeper: a dissection of beauty, shame, and female rage. Because in a world obsessed with perfection, the Slit-Mouthed Woman isn’t just a ghost - she’s a mirror. And what she reflects is far more terrifying than the blade she carries...
