So what made this world famous wrestler suddenly decide to kill himself and his family?

When looking for our next true crime case, we found it in the form of these 3 words: "The Unicorn Killer". Now that's some clickbait! Did he kill unicorns? Was he a serial killer with a birth defect of a horn growing out of his head? We had so many questions... But this was no fairytale, especially for the young and beautiful Holly Maddux.

He was known as “The Butcher of Plainfield” and “The Plainfield Ghoul”, and has been called a serial killer by many, even though he was only confirmed to murder 2 people. But his crimes were so gruesome, that he would end up being the notorious inspiration for 3 of the creepiest horror movies/characters of all time: Psycho (Norman Bates), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Leatherface), and Silence Of The Lambs (Buffalo Bill).

A young and caring Massachusetts teacher, who was loved by so many, was brutally slayed in her own school by one of her own students.

It's time for another cult y'all… Love Has Won is described as a "newer religious movement" that was led by Amy Carlson, who was better known as “Mother God" by her followers. On the outside, they seem like a bunch of hippie Christians. But on the inside, it was filled with brainwashing, abuse, sleep deprivation, and even death. So while this group may still be going strong(ish) under a new name, the original leader has since deceased... But just wait until you hear how the police found her body!

Today's episode is about a case of parricide (the killing of a parent), because today's story is about a father who was murdered by his own two sons. While that is definitely brutal, the story is not quite that cut and dry... Their lives were filled with poverty, foster care, grooming and abuse. So on the "nurture" side of things, all of that can really make you look just a little closer at why kids commit these types of crimes. This the murder of Terry King by his sons, Alex and Derek King.

A young and beautiful indigenous woman in North Dakota was expecting her first baby when her life was tragically taken from her in 2017.

Today's story is absolutely devastating and heartbreaking, to say the least, but it has so many twists and turns that I'm surprised Jerry Springer didn't get involved. In 2009, Joshua Powell's wife, Susan Cox Powell, went missing, and less than 3 years later, he would end up murdering their 2 young children, Braden and Charlie Powell, followed by his own suicide. While lots of horrific details surrounding the Powell family have since come to light, Susan's body has still never been found.

This dude would forever be known as “America’s 1st Serial Killer”, but is probably even more famous for his “Murder Castle”: a 3 story hotel he built from the ground up, filled with kill rooms, gas chambers, dissecting tables, a death chute, and a body-sized furnace. He would confess to 27 murders, but was suspected of more than 200. He is the OG of serial killers - This is the story of H.H. Holmes.

Going under the knife to have any form of surgery can be pretty scary. But what's even more terrifying can be on the other end of the scalpel... Enter Dr. Christopher Duntsch - A promising neurosurgeon with a God complex and a taste for cocaine, who swore he could "fix you". But he would end up harming 33 patients, maiming 4 of them, and even killing 2 of them! If you have any upcoming surgeries, you may wanna skip this episode for now... This is the INSANE story of Dr. Death, told by none other than VANESSA! (Yep, she's finally back y'all).

On our latest episode of Serial Killer: OG - This man was a devoted father and husband, a cub scout leader, a decorated veteran, a college graduate, and the president of his church's council. Sounds like a great guy, right? But all the while, he was living a double-life, and would eventually be known as one of the most notorious serial killers in American history; specifically for his methods of binding, torturing, and killing his victims. That's right y'all, it's none other than Dennis Rader himself, otherwise known as B.T.K.

Today's crazy story takes place in the small town of Mountain City, Tennessee, where people spend most of their time on Facebook (because what else was there to do?). But when an awkward young woman's crush falls in love with another woman, a mixture of boredom and jealousy lead to a bloody murder scene, and a story so crazy, you're gonna think we made it all up... But we didn't! And not only do we have a WILD tale for y'all today - We also have an exclusive interview with one of the officers who worked for the Sheriff's Department during the trial! This is the story of the murders of Billy Payne and Billie Jean Hayworth, aka "The Facebook Murders".

John Haigh was an English man who dreamed of a luxurious lifestyle, and wouldn't let anything stand in the way of these dreams becoming a reality. Most people make sacrifices to work their way to the top, but this guy sacrificed PEOPLE in his attempt to get to the top, and he took lots of precautions to make sure he wouldn't get caught. But had he gotten away with his crimes, we wouldn't be here telling this story... So grab a drink, and buckle up, for the insane story of "The Acid Bath Murders".

Among the most watched televised court trials, you'll find a couple of frat-boy bros who loved nothing more (and nothing less) than the finer things in life. But these "sweet, young boys" turned to murder when they felt they had just about enough of their parents. If you don't know about this trial, then your parents definitely do. That's right - This is the story of Erik and Lyle Menendez, better known as the Menendez brothers. Today, our special guest host, Leslie Gordon, tells us all the scandelous details of how they brutally murdered their own parents, José and Kitty Menendez, in their family home in 1989.

The world seemed to stop as news reporters all over the world shared the sad news that the beautiful Diana, Princess of Wales, had died horrifically in a car crash in Paris, France during the early hours of August 31, 1997. Everyone called it a tragedy, but not everyone labeled it an "accident"... Paparazzi were literally following them as they wrecked, so where are all the photos? And who owns the mystery car that was involved and may have caused the whole thing? Was this a planned murder by the Royal Family? We have SO MANY questions, but unfortunately not many answers. Put on your tin foil hats for this one, and join us as we discuss all the conspiracy theories about how/why the life of "The People's Princess" was cut so short.

On today's episode of The Handmaid's Tale... This not-so-dynamic duo kidnapped, tortured, raped, and murdered at least 12 people (with at least a dozen more assumed) in a remote area of northern California during the mid 80s. Most of their victims were women, who they wanted to keep as slaves in their secret bunker for one main purpose: to repopulate the earth after the nuclear fallout. So what did they do with them in the mean time? Literally whatever they wanted, while videotaping everything along the way. This is a rough one folks... Special guest host, Michelle, tells us the horrifying tale of serial killer BFFs Leonard Lake and Charles Ng. Don't say we didn't warn you!

On our latest episode of Serial Killer: OG - This guy was originally known for his acne and stuttering problem in high school, so he wasn't very popular with the ladies. But he grew up and became "Bob the Baker", and suddenly his goodies brought all the girls to the yard. Sounds like a happy success story, right? But his revenge didn't stop there... He would end up abducting, raping, and murdering at least 17 women in Anchorage, Alaska from 1971 to 1983 in his own version of "The Most Dangerous Game". That's right folks, today we discuss the infamous serial killer known as "The Butcher Baker of Alaska": Robert Hansen.
