On June 18, 2021, Lauri Detherage was found shot dead in her home in Robbinsdale, Minnesota.  Her ex-husband, Robert McCloud had the key to her house.  They had remained friends since their divorce years ago.  However, her new remarriage sent ol' Bob over the edge.  He sent flash drives with confession videos to his family, entered Lauri's home and shot her, then proceeded to have a 10-hour standoff with law enforcement before being taken into custody.Join the CrimeJuicy gang as we sit down with award-winning romance novelist Marjorie Jones Cooke, and friend of Lauri Detherage to learn about the woman behind the headlines, the double-life they shared at romance conventions, and the dark secret of domestic violence to which they both returned when the weekend was done.   Bob is NOT okay.Support the show

South Carolina's Amazon Review Killer Todd Kohlhepp sucks.  But just how much does he suck?  And how did he get away with a mass shooting at a Superbike Motorsports in broad daylight?  And did he ever get to use that high quality knife he bought on Amazon, the one he left the glowing - and telling - review for?  And for f*&k's sake, who menaces a Waffle House!?  Tune in and find out!Support the show

This week on CrimeJuicy, the gang explores the question: just how far would you go for true, divine love?  Would you join an online cult(?) and fork over thousands of dollars to learn how to attune yourself to harmonious union with THE ONE?  Would you never give up your pursuit, even if it means getting arrested for stalking and harassment?  Would you take rejection after rejection, change your diet, and dive headlong into self-abuse disguised as self reflection?  We're talking the Twin Flames Universe and loneliness and vulnerability in the age of internet cults.Support the show

Our oracle Krista did it.  She connected with Megan Marty, daughter of the Bully killers Lisa Connelly and Marty Puccio on TikTok.  Megan agreed to talk to us and while she was on the line Marty called from prison to give us his very first voice interview.  Somehow, we weren't speechless.Marty Puccio had been savagely bullied by Bobby Kent for years including physical, psychological, and sexual abuse.  While the two appeared to be best friends, there was a deep dark side, one in which Marty was held hostage to this friendship that few saw...until Marty's girlfriend Lisa Connelly and her best friend Allie Willis learned the hard way.  After abuse, rape, death threats, and more from Bobby, the three and their accomplices decided he had to die, and he did.  The young and traumatized Marty Puccio was sentenced to death and spent two years on death row, before his sentence was commuted to life in prison with the opportunity for parole.  While he and Lisa were in prison, their daughter, Megan was born.  When she was five shortly before the film "Bully" came out, she learned the truth about her life and her parents.Join the CrimeJuicy Gang for our interview with the resilient, accomplished, and hilarious Megan Marty and her father, Marty Puccio, from prison.Join us on Patreon at www.patreon.com/crimejuicygang for ad-free episodes!This episode was produced with support from:M.

Since the 1990s a rash of mostly white, college-going males who were in very specific majors and involved in athletics were last seen leaving bars and later found floating in nearby rivers.  Face up.  With signs of lividity and other telltale signs that drowning was not the cause of death, and their bodies had not been in the water for the days to months during which they were missing.  The causes of death were labeled accidental drownings...but that doesn't explain the ligature marks.  Three retired detectives and a criminology professor have taken notice, and they think there is organized crime afoot.  Are the Smiley Face Killers real?  And if not, just who is killing all these jocks?This episode was produced with support from:M.

In 2011, the FBI classified Juggalos - dedicated fans of horror rap group Insane Clown Posse - as a gang.  This led to Juggalos being profiled, harassed, and charged by law enforcement, and shows being canceled.  The band and several Juggalos teamed up with the ACLU to sue the FBI and the justice department.  This week, the CrimeJuicy gang picks this all the way apart - from human rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly, to our favorite ICP songs and Faygo flavors, to insight into the mysterious and widely misunderstood subculture of the Juggalos.BIG thank you to Psychopathic Records for your correspondence and encouragement.  We Jugga-Love You!  This episode was produced with support from:M.

This episode explores the world of sex trafficking myths surrounding the Superbowl with M and Blair from the Sex Worker Outreach Project - Behind Bars.

The gang explores the insanity defense and the biochemistry of psychopathy as observed through functional brain scans. We look at mental illness in several notable serial killers who are near and dear to our twisted little hearts to get down to the root of it - did their brains make them do it? At what point does one bear responsibility for their own actions, and how can that be litigated in terms of the death penalty?

Sweet Baby Jesus - Meet Vissarion, the Jesus of Siberia who had been living peacefully in his remote home with 4,000 followers completely off the grid.

Cannibalism is a persistent taboo for humans throughout history...a taboo that ALWAYS gets broken.  Lured in by Russia's cannibal couple, Dmitri and Natalia Bakseev who confessed to killing and eating at least 30 people over the course of two decades, the gang covers contemporary cannibals, cannibals throughout human history, and even fossilized human feces found composed entirely of...other humans.  Sorry, not sorry.
