Crime Time Nerds

Just a quick CTN update from Nat!

Nat joined Kevin Cook on his Aftermath show to discuss the case of Heaven's Gate Cult. Join us as We take a look at Heaven's Gate and the horrible nature of this cult.  Thanks to Kevin for helping us out of a technical bind this week and letting us release these awesome episodes!

Unfortunately, we ran into some technical difficulties this week, i.e. our audio crapped out on us and the two-hour heist episode we had recorded is lost to time.. Luckily Kevin from the Jury Room Podcast was kind enough to share an episode of his with us so you all would have something to listen to while we re-record the next heist episode this week.  Def give his show a listen and support this amazing person who always looks out for us! suicide Prevention 1-800-273-8255 The Jury Room Links  https://www.patreon.com/juryroompodcast   https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Juryroompodcast  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jury-room-a-true-crime-podcast/id1536341829  Sources Heaven's Gate: The Cult of Cults- 4-part HBO docuseries Bounded Choice by Janja Lalich https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/heavens-gate-20-years-later-10-things-you-didnt-know-114563/ - https://www.biography.com/crime-figure/marshall-herff-applewhite https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/heavens-gate-cult-members-found-dead https://www.nytimes.com/1997/09/28/magazine/technology-makes-us-escapist-the-cult-of-the-mind.html https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1997/03/29/353221.html?pageNumber=9 https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20151120-heavens-gate-from-hollywood-disaster-to-masterpiece https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1997/03/30/the-cult-that-left-as-it-lived/1e9baadb-f465-4a7a-8026-0ab7e4822139/ https://www.nytimes.com/1997/04/28/us/eyes-on-glory-pied-pipers-of-heaven-s-gate.html?sec=health&pagewanted=1 https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/overthinking-tv/202012/nxivm-and-heavens-gate-cults-used-common-persuasion-methods https://www.oxygen.com/deadly-cults/crime-news/heavens-gate-cult-gail-maeder-victim-in-mass-suicide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven%27s_Gate_(religious_group) - General facts and timeline https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1997/04/03/outside-heavens-gate-a-mothers-vigil-ends/a160145f-a8c7-42a0-b9a0-708c4f47bdc8/ https://www.oregonlive.com/history/2017/12/how_oregon_shaped_heavens_gate.html https://www.newspapers.com/image/316502751/?terms=Disappearances%20in%20Waldport%2C%20Oregon&match=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/293863699/?terms=Disappearances%20in%20Waldport%2C%20Oregon&match=1 https://offbeatoregon.com/1606a.heavens-gate-ufo-cult-394.html https://web.archive.org/web/20130302021044/http://www.has.vcu.edu/wrs/profiles/Heaven'sGate.htm - Heaven's Gate Timeline https://www.nytimes.com/1997/04/02/us/former-cultists-warn-of-believers-now-adrift.html https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-03-30-mn-43687-story.html https://u.osu.edu/vanzandt/2019/04/03/humanitys-next-step-and-heavens-gate/ https://www.heavensgate.com/book/2-5.htm - the 17 Steps https://people.com/crime/heavens-gate-22-years-later-remembering-lives-lost/ https://earthsky.org/space/this-date-in-science-comet-hale-bopp/

Welcome Nerdlings to our very first CTN Breakdown.  It's the place where Ash and I dissect the case we previously covered and dive in deep discussing theories and our case thoughts.  Last week we covered the still Unsolved New Bedford Highway Serial killer and this week we're driving along I-95 to chat together about our thoughts on just who this killer could have been.  

Today we discuss the still unsolved case of a rash of serial killings that struck New Bedford Massachusetts in the 1980's.  A serial killer drove the highways of I-95 murdering 11 women of the course of a few months.  It's possible that killer is still driving the highways to this day, looking for their next victim, never having been caught.

Hey Nerdlings!  Happy Mother's Day to all you Mama Nerdlings out there.  Today's episode we wanted to tell the story of a mother who has remained nameless for nearly a century.  She was found in 1935 with the remains of what is thought to be her two children and the small family remains unknown to this day.  Next week marks the anniversary of her remains being found and with today being mother's day it seemed fitting to tell her story for others to know.  Join us for the case of the Addison County Jane Doe.

Welcome Nerdlings! We're diving deep into the story of an early American female serial killer known as Belle Gunness, a woman who's truly a monster.
