Lesley Eugene Warren was a young man with a charming personality and a baby face to give him a trustworthy and innocent appearance on the outside, but internally he was a man who had dark and intrusive thoughts that he would eventually give in to. We all have probably experienced somewhat of a rough childhood, but Lesley grew up with abuse from his alcoholic father from birth, and then once the divorce was final, his Dad would ignore him if they passed each other in public and after his mother got remarried, he was shipped off to live with his Grandparents. Lesley would go on a killing spree claiming the lives of at least 4 innocent young women, and police believe his victim count would be more realistically in the 8-10 range. Listen to episode 53 as we quickly approach our one year anniversary, and you be the judge. Is Lesley a sociopath, or did he have some sort of emotional connection with the people he chose to get close with?Visit our new sponsor, Titan Nutrition at www.titannutrition.net and use our code colacitycrime at checkout for free shipping and 10% off your order!Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/colacitycrimeInstagram: @ColacitycrimePatreon: www.patreon.com/colacitycrimeBuy Me a Coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/colacitycrime Email your listener stories and case suggestions: colacitycrime@gmail.comCheck out the website for our local non-profit: www.eccmpi.orgPlease subscribe, rate, and review our show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

Over the road truck drivers must have the best job in the world, right? The freedom to almost operate in silence with little to no oversight from their boss, a feeling of unaccountability, and posessing the power to care so little about anyone other than themselves while on the road. Personally, Tiffany could not work this job long term, but she does tell you about a man who did, and abused the power, this week; his name is Sean Patrick Goble. Feeling like he was a ladies man who could get whatever he wanted, Sean drove through three states more often than any other: North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, and he would find a few spots along the interstate to dump some precious cargo. Unfortunately that cargo would be the bodies of three victims that he brutally strangled. Listen to his twisted tale unfold, and learn about a man who can't even pronounce his own first name right.

This week we have finally hit our first big episode milestone of 50, and we've decided to cover one case each; Sam's from South Carolina, and Tiffany's from North Carolina. Please excuse our one-off sound quality due to the fact that Tiffany can't stop tripping over her own feet. HAH Sam starts us out this week talking about how a mother is supposed to be a natural protector. Someone a child can trust and count on to do everything in their power to make sure the evil of this world does not touch them. Unfortunately, this was not the mother Alana Westbury is or pretended to be. Listen to the us discuss a mother who would allow and benefit from John Williams doing unthinkable things to Alana's daughter, leading to charges of trafficking and criminal sexual conduct with a child under the age of 10.If you know someone that is or is potentially trafficking and need to speak to someone, you can call the Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888, or you can text HELP to 233-733, & you can chat with someone live at www.humantraffickinghotline.org/chatTiffany finishes out the episode discussing a man that was severely affected by not only mental health issues but also alcohol abuse, which made him “dually diagnosed”. Phillip Lee Ingles got into an argument with his elderly grandmother and just a few short weeks after the incident, he would snap and do the unthinkable. Two elderly couples would be ambushed and beaten to death, and Phillip would go on to tell a few friends about what he had done. Later after his conviction, he would give up any chance of appeals so the family could have some peace and closure. Okay, cool dude, thanks so much for that.We hope y'all enjoy the big EPISODE 50, and next week we will resume our normal format.Check out our featured podcast of the week: @worldstruecrimeFacebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/colacitycrimeInstagram: @ColacitycrimePlease consider supporting us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/colacitycrimeWe now have a Buy Me a Coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/colacitycrime Email your listener stories and case suggestions: colacitycrime@gmail.comCheck out the website for our local non-profit: www.eccmpi.orgPlease subscribe, rate, and review our show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!Sourcesmurderpedia.orgwikipedia.orglawinsider.comwww.acf.hhs.govcounton2.comwmbfnews.comwistv.comthetandd.comabcnews4.comwrdw.com

The Holidays can be a fun but hectic time of year where families rush around to participate in fun activities, like watching a tree lighting, seeing Christmas lights, visiting with Santa, and picking out the perfect real Christmas tree from a family farm. The Hudler family owned and operated a very Nationally successful Christmas Tree farm between the three states of North Carolina, Virgina, and Michigan. It was no secret that the Hudler family was successful in their endeavors, but unfortunately their success, mainly the owner and operator of the farm, Ron Hudler, was known by a man who would take advantage of it. Through a botched robbery, three men would lose their lives all for $10,000. Who was the man that committed the murders, you ask? Well, he was lurking closer to the family than you might think. We hope all of our listeners enjoy this twisted case, and enjoy your holiday season. Merry Christmas Eve to all who celebrate, and we will have one final episode to close out the year of 2022.

We think all of our listeners know by now, 44 episodes in, that Sam and Tiffany are mothers who love their sons fiercely, but this week Tiffany brings a case where the mother of an 18-month-old child doesn't seem too concerned with the fact that he has been missing for over a month. Amir Jennings would be seen for the very last time by his grandmother and on the cctv footage of a local bank, and then he would vanish almost without a trace. His 22-year-old mother Zinah Jennings would allegedly prevent Amir's father from spending time with him on Thanksgiving weekend of 2011, and then after a hit and run incident in December, would be brought into custody for evading and lying to police. Tiffany brings us through a twisted and upsetting timeline of events that results in many questions surrounding Amir's whereabouts.

When you are passionate about something, you tend to put more effort into whatever it may be, and unfortunately for Peter Lucas Moses Jr, he was passionate about control, having multiple wives, and only being referred to as 'Lord'.Living in a one bedroom home with 3-5 wives and 9 children, the household was cramped and busy which can make the environment tense. Antoinetta McKoy would reconnect with her high school sweetheart, which happened to be Peter, and she started taking trips from Washington DC to Durham, NC to spend time with him. She didn't know that one last visit to DC to collect her belongings would be the very last time her family would see her alive.Listen to Tiffany and Sam discuss what a cult is, especially in relation to the true crime genre, and try not to get worked up over the heinous acts that took place in 2010.Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/colacitycrimeInstagram: @ColacitycrimePlease consider supporting us on Patreon: patreon.com/colacitycrimeEmail your listener stories and case suggestions: colacitycrime@gmail.comCheck out the website for our local non-profit: www.eccmpi.org Check out our collab with Crime Labs YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOZ1FRAOGm1VnzI8ow_XGcw/videosPlease subscribe, rate, and review our show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!Sourceswww.hsinvisiblechildren.orgculteducation.comwww.dailymail.co.ukwww.murderpedia.orgpediaa.com

I think we can all agree that everyone goes through their angsty teen phase where they don't want to listen to their parents and want to operate to the beat of their own drum, but for 16-year-old Adam Sapikowski, the beat of his drum was a little off. Adam was the son of his extremely successful parents Jim and Alison Sapikowski and lived a life of “If I want it, I get it” which was in direct result of his parent's business. The family lived in a 5,000 sq ft home worth an upwards of $680,000 back in 2005, and he attended Durham Academy, which at the time cost $16,000 per year per student. Adam drove a brand-new Chevy Tahoe and had access to his parent's line of credit somewhere around $48,000 at any given time. Adam and the rest of the Sapikowski children were set up for success and lived in a loving home environment, so when Adam's grades started to slip and Prom was approaching rapidly, his parents wouldn't allow him to get his way unless they saw improvement. Just two nights before his Prom, Adam would allegedly get into a verbal argument with his father Jim and it would have a deadly conclusion. Listen to Tiffany tell Sam about the curious tale of a teenager gone rogue over a seemingly small disagreement that just may have been avoided if only Adam got help for his mental health.

In the same year that Lee Roy Martin was on his rampage, another serial killer would be born in Maryland by the name of Patrick Tracy Burris. Little did the small town of Gaffney, South Carolina know that just 41 years after Martin's murders, another serial killer would take the lives of five innocent victims in just 6 short days in 2009. Did he desperately need to fuel his kleptomania, or did he despise members of the church so much that he felt the need to target them?Unfortunately we may never know because Patrick's life ended in a fury of bullets at the sight of an abandoned house in Mooresville, North Carolina when law enforcement responded to a call detailing an active burglary.Listen to Tiffany tell the horrific story of loss that occurred in the small town of Gaffney, SC, and you tell us...

June 6, 1993 is a day that the small town of Windsor, North Carolina will never forget. With just under 2000 people in the 90s, Windsor was known for being a quiet and safe place with a very low crime rate. Unfortunately, that would change with the closing staff of the local Be-Lo Grocery Store that Sunday evening. A man hid somewhere inside the store, and sprang on the store manager after he locked the doors, demanding all the money be put into a plastic grocery bag. He would then escort all of the staff to the back of the store, tie them up, and the slaying would begin. Fortunately there were survivors that would go on to give police a description of the man, and a sketch would be distributed out to the public. 29 years later, and this case is still unsolved, and the gunman's identity remains a mystery.Will we ever know the man behind the murders that took place in this tiny town?If you have information about this case, call the WindsorPolice Department (252) 794-3111 and if you haveinformation about any unsolved case in NorthCarolina, please contact the North Carolina State Bureauof Investigation: (800) 334-3000.Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/755467142466635/Instagram: @ColacitycrimeEmail your listener stories and case suggestions: colacitycrime@gmail.comCheck out the website for our local non-profit: www.eccmpi.org Check out our collab with Crime Labs YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOZ1FRAOGm1VnzI8ow_XGcw/videosPlease subscribe, rate, and review our show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!SourcesThe Kay Files on youtubewww.apnews.comwww.ncsbi.govscholar.lib.vt.edutrace evidence on Youtube
In 1988, a serial killer would be born: James Bradley would kidnap and murder his very own 8-year-old stepdaughter. He would go on living his life for two short days before admitting what he had done and would eventually spend 25 years in prison for his unimaginable crime. You would think that this would be enough and the end of James's crime story, but it was just the beginning. He would get out of prison after serving his sentence and would start his murderous ways again, claiming at least two other victims. Due to great detective work, the police were able to stop James before his victim list could grow even longer.

Susie Newsom Lynch was a gorgeous and intelligent young woman born into one of the most respected families in North Carolina, the Sharp family. Her aunt, Judge Susan M. Sharp, was one of the most respected women in America at the time holding the seat of Head of the State Supreme Court, and partially due to her aunt's status, Susie felt like she was a princess and should be treated like royalty. She would meet her prince charming while she was in college, Tom Lynch, and they would soon marry and have two sons together, John and Jim. The family would move to Albuquerque, New Mexico and Susie quickly decided that it was not where she wanted to stay and raise her family. She felt like the town they were living in was culture-less and the locals refused to feed into her princess mentality, so Susie knew she had to get out. She whisked her children away back to North Carolina and decided a quick phone call to Tom to let him know that she would not be coming back, and neither would the boys. Then ensued a nasty custody battle that would end in bloodshed from both sides of the family. Susie would reconnect with her first-cousin, Fritz Klenner Jr, and they would become lovers with a vendetta to keep their families out of their personal lives. Tensions would rise, and result in a gruesome finale that no one was expecting, including Susie herself. More than 30 years later, residents and Tom Lynch, Susie's ex-husband, still wonder why everything had to end in a fiery blaze like it did, and their heart still aches for those that had to suffer with their lives.

Last week we discussed the MacDonald Triad, which is a set of three factors that may help predict behavior associated with serial offenses, such as serial murders.Todd Kohlhepp may not hit all three factors, however he was known to suffer from abuse in his childhood, poisoned his goldfish in bleach during an experiment, and was a bully at a very early age in school where he was involved in a very scary incident on the school bus. A few years later, after escaping his step-father and mother and going to live with his biological father, he would take a 14 year-old girl from her home and sexually assault her. This would earn him 14 years in prison, and at the age of 30 he was set free to go about his life and register as a sex offender. Todd is a man who thrives off attention, both positive and negative, and it almost seems like he will do anything to be in the spotlight, you know... Like watching porn at work or making sexual jokes with his real estate clients, classy.Listen to Tiffany tell his twisted tale and you decide if Serial Killers are born or if they are made.Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/755467142466635/Instagram: @ColacitycrimeEmail your listener stories and case suggestions: colacitycrime@gmail.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/ColacitycrimeCheck out our collab with Crime Labs YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOZ1FRAOGm1VnzI8ow_XGcw/videosPlease subscribe, rate, and review our show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!Sourceswww.aetv.comallthatsinteresting.comcrimemuseum.orgwickedness.netgoodhousekeeping.comranker.comen.wikipedia.org
William Darrell Lindsey (Wild Bill or Red Bird) was born into a world of chaos that possibly shaped him into the monster he would become. Loosing his parents at only 5 months old, William would be adopted by a twisted woman who would make his childhood a nightmare. Despite this, William would go on to raise a family of his own and would live what seemed like a “normal” life. In 1953 at the age of 48, William would start feeding into his urge to murder, begining in Florida in an area called Crackhead Corner. It would not be until 1996 at the age of 61, that William would be caught for the murder of Lucy Raymer in Ashville, N.C. He would confess to 6 other gruesome crimes with what seemed like no remorse. His final known victim count is 7 but is suspected of a lot more than that.Did William's childhood lead him to become the monster he was or was he born evil? Listen to Sam tell the vile tale of an abused child turned into serial killer and the unsuspecting victims of “Crazy Bill”. The victims would endure immense amounts of pain that William would get satisfaction from.

Kyle Fleischmann was a hard-working 24-year-old college grad who was exceptionally close with his family. The Fleischmanns moved to Charlotte in 2000 because Dick and Barbara felt like it would be a great place to raise their three children. Little did they know that in just a few short years, just hearing the word Charlotte would make them sick to their stomachs. On the night of November 9, 2007, Kyle, his sister Noelle, mother Barbara, and best friend Dan would venture downtown to see a Dane Cook comedy show. Kyle and Dan knew their night wasn't over at 10pm, so they decided to part ways with Kyle's Mom and sister and hang out at a local bar called the Buckhead Saloon. Nearing 1am, Dan knew he had to be up for work early the next morning, so he closed his tab and asked Kyle if he was heading out too, but Kyle, being single at the time, decided to stay out for more drinks. The following morning, Kyle would not show up for work, and any attempts to contact him through his cell phone led straight to voicemail, so everyone began to worry. Police would follow his trail of surveillance footage and phone records, but hit a dead end and 15 years later, there is still not a single trace of Kyle.

Hiking the beautiful trails of the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina can be quite calming and make you one with nature, but for the unsuspecting victims of Gary Michael Hilton, who would later be named the National Forest Serial Killer, was anything but a serene experience. Across three states, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, multiple victims would succumb to his gruesome murders. Gary's childhood was a little rough, and many believe this would condition him to become the monster he was as an adult in addition to the life of crime he led before committing his first offense. He took the innocent lives of Miami native 26 year old Rossana Miliani, a couple in their 80's Irene and John Bryant in NC, as well as RN and avid church goer Cheryl Dunlap, and University of Georgia graduate Meredith Emerson in the Georgia mountains. Despite being stopped by law enforcement multiple times, there was no rule in place to check the federal database for past offences, so he got away every single time, ready to set his sights on another victim. Mental health, especially for men in the US is a huge stigma, so we are left wondering if maybe he got a little more help, none of these murders would have happened. Or... maybe he really was just a monster.

In 2018, Bowen Turner from Orangeburg, South Carolina would be accused of raping two young women and in 2019, Bowen would be accused of rape once again. This would spark outrage in the community but not for the victims, instead it was for the accused because Bowen comes from a prominent family in Orangeburg.Bowen would attack his first victim early in 2018 and a short six months later, he would allegedly assault Dallas Stoller at a house party. Dallas would endure the wrath of the community's anger towards her for naming Bowen as her attacker. Her story is devastating and does not end they way you would hope.Chloe Bess is the last victim of Bowen's, and her assault has many similarities to Dallas's story. Chloe would also be attacked at a house party in June of 2019 and would also name Bowen as her attacker but did his victims get justice?Bowen would allude a trial and barely get a slap on the wrist. How can an alleged serial rapist not wind up in prison? How is he still on the streets? Listen to Sam tell the story of a grave misjustice happening in Orangeburg South Carolina and we will leave it to you to decide if you think if Bowen Turner is a privileged serial rapist.Dallas' Petition: www.change.org/p/reopenSources: WRDW.comFITSNews.comMeaww.comNypost.comFacebook: Search Cola City CrimeInstagram: @ColacitycrimeSend us your listener stories to our email: colacitycrime@gmail.com

Sometime between her going to bed and 9am the next morning, an intruder broke into their home and stole Jesse out of her bed while she was asleep.That would be the last time her family would ever see her again. Investigators find one single fingerprint but no immediate match. Corruption between law enforcement and the solicitor's office causes tensions to run high for Jesse's mom Debra, and 26 years after her daughter's abduction she releases a phone call between herself and the Sheriff at the time to help explain why she was so unsatisfied with the investigation.
