When Sharon Kinne's husband, James, was found shot dead in 1960, she told police that it was a tragic accident - and at first, they believed her. She seemed like an ordinary, all-American housewife; but that couldn't have been further from the truth. It would take two more murders, two more countries, and over 60 years for the twisted reality to come to light. Sharon was a manipulative, cold-blooded dirtbag of a mother, who was even willing to use her own toddler as a scapegoat to cover her tracks and evade justice for years, earning herself the nickname 'La Pistolera'.

The case of Christiana Edmunds has been debated since 1871. Christiana became known as 'The Chocolate Cream Killer' after lacing chocolate creams with strychnine. Some believe that she simply went mad and began poisoning the people of Brighton, England, at random. Others believe that this dirtbag was a woman scorned. After she failed at murdering her 'lover's' wife, Christiana attempted to pin the poisoning on local confectioner, John Maynard. Either way, this woman was not nearly as 'sweet' as she wanted others to think that she was.

On January 6, 1982, 29 year old, Bobbie Jo Oberholtzer didn't return home after working in Breckenridge, Colorado. She was only the first woman to go missing that day; soon 21 year old, Annette Schnee, was also reported unaccounted for. The connections between the two women quickly piled up.

Francis 'Marion' Parker was the daughter of an affluent banker. In 1927, Marion was taken from her school in plain sight by a man named William 'Edward' Hickman.

In 2022, Jeremy Skibicki prowled through the streets of Winnipeg, Manitoba, preying on indigenous, homeless women. He purposely chose them because he considered them subservient to his superiority. This vile dirtbag did the most inhumane things to his victims, Rebecca Contois, Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran, and 'Buffalo Woman', before discarding their remains into dumpsters. He proudly declared that it was all in the name of God, and in furthering the white race...but those were all just excuses to try and cover up his true motives.

They were the precursors to the 'Ken and Barbie' killers, Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, and liked to refer to themselves as 'Boney and Claude', a comical version of Bonnie and Clyde. The things that this dirtbag duo did to prove their love to each other ended the lives of Lisa Ann Millican and Janice Kay Chatman, but the truth about each of their involvement becomes very murky in the waters of he said, she said.

In 2017, Pelly Crossing was the site of the brutal killing of Derek Edwards, carried out by a pair of dirtbag sisters, Charabelle and Lynzee Silverfox. Errors in the investigation led to the two sisters initially getting off of first-degree murder charges, and sadly, resulted in a second murder; that of Chelsey Bien. Both sisters would use the trauma that they experienced as children as a defense for their horrible actions. Is there any trauma that can excuse murder?
