True Crime Creepers

Due to unforeseen scheduling craziness, we were unable to record an episode this week, so thought we'd drop one of our favorites from the vault! In this bonus episode, Kristin tells Mogab all about the Satanic Panic of the 80's and 90's, starting with the book Michelle Remembers, a controversial "memoir" detailing repressed memories of satanic ritual abuse, and culminating in the McMartin Preschool Trial where several employees at the preschool were accused of performing satanic ritual abuse on children (spoiler... none of it was true).

On New Year's Eve 1997, 17-year-old Olivia Hope and her close friend Ben Smart vanished after a party at the remote Furneaux Lodge in New Zealand's stunning Marlborough Sounds. They were last seen boarding a water taxi in the early hours of the morning with a man who's never been conclusively identified. What followed was one of New Zealand's most high-profile investigations, leading to the arrest and conviction of Scott Watson — a man who still claims he's innocent. But the deeper you look into this case, the murkier it gets. With wildly conflicting witness statements, contaminated evidence, an allegedly unreliable memory, and new information buried for decades, this case has everything: mystery, obsession, media bias, and a whole lot of reasonable doubt ... or is there? Today, Kristin dives deep into the 40,000-page police file and multiple sources on both sides of this controversial case to try and answer one big question: Did Scott Watson really kill Ben and Olivia… or was he wrongfully convicted?

When a beloved nurse anesthetist fails to show up for work, police find a gruesome scene inside his family home. But what initially looks like a murder-suicide quickly unravels into something far more twisted — involving fraud, a camgirl, and a chilling betrayal no one saw coming.

When 43-year-old Crystal Jones was found dead in her Oak Grove, Louisiana home in 2023, local law enforcement quickly ruled it a suicide. But nearly two years later, her sister Jana is still fighting for answers because so many things about Crystal's death just don't add up. From an oddly premature conclusion, to a mysteriously delayed shell casing finding, to troubling inconsistencies in her husband's story, this case is full of red flags that were seemingly ignored. With help from private investigator Sheila Wysocki, Jana is doing everything she can to uncover the truth. So was this a tragic suicide… or something far more sinister?

In this episode, special guest Kelsey from A Trial By Podcast tells Kristin all about the murder of Kendra Hatcher, a 35-year-old pediatric dentist living in Dallas, Texas, who was shot and killed in the parking garage of her upscale apartment complex on September 2, 2015. The murder was orchestrated by Brenda Delgado, the ex-girlfriend of Kendra's boyfriend, Ricky Paniagua, who had grown jealous of their relationship. Brenda recruited Crystal Cortes to drive getaway and hired Kristopher Love to carry out the shooting, promising payment in exchange. Delgado provided Cortes with information about Kendra's whereabouts and used her connections to obtain the murder weapon. The plot unraveled quickly as investigators tracked down Cortes, who confessed and implicated both Love and Delgado. Love was later convicted and sentenced to death, while Delgado, who had fled to Mexico, was extradited and received a life sentence. The case shocked the community not only for its calculated nature, but also because of the seemingly senseless motive: jealousy.

But a chilling 999 call and hours of CCTV footage quickly reveal the truth that this was no accident. It was an ambush.

When 32-year-old Mikayla Evans fell five stories from a condo window in Johnson City, Tennessee, she woke from a coma with no memory of what happened, but with a shattered body and a chilling certainty: she had been drugged. Her fall led to disturbing allegations, not just against the man who owned the condo, Sean Williams, but against the very police department tasked with investigating him. As federal prosecutor Kat Dahl dug deeper, she uncovered a horrifying pattern of abuse, ignored reports, and possible corruption that may have enabled one of the most prolific sexual predators in recent history. This week, we're diving into a case that left us reeling—and angry. Sponsors: Acorns Early Head to acorns.com/creepers or download the Acorns app to get started.

But private investigator Charlie Parker wasn't buying it. In this second part of the Nicholas Barclay case, the truth finally unravels: who was the man pretending to be Nicholas, and why did the family insist he was their missing son?

In 1994, 13 year old Nicholas Barclay disappeared from his home in San Antonio, Texas. His troubled past led police to believe he had run away, and the case quickly went cold. But over three years later, Nicholas was found...in Spain. He told a harrowing story of abduction and abuse, and his family welcomed him home with open arms. But something wasn't right. The more people looked, the more questions surfaced, and soon it became clear: this wasn't Nicholas Barclay.

Buckle up for one of the most bizarre, over-the-top, and unbelievable tales of obsession, love, and maybe a little delusion—it's the story of Joyce McKinney. This case has everything: a beauty queen with a genius IQ, a dash of Mormon royalty, chloroform, and even a wig named Matilda. Joyce's quest to rescue her "star-crossed lover" Kirk Anderson took her from the Appalachian Mountains to the English countryside and into the headlines of tabloids worldwide. But what's the truth behind the story? Tabloids painted her as a villain, Joyce saw herself as a romantic heroine, and somewhere in between lies a tale stranger than fiction. Join us as we dive into this wild ride—because once Joyce sets her sights on something, you better watch out.

When a delivery man showed up at Lita McClinton's Buckhead townhouse with a box of pink long stem roses, she probably thought it was a sweet gesture before a stressful day in court. Instead, it was the last thing she ever saw. From the jump, everyone knew who was behind this. But proving it? That was a whole different battle. It took 20 years, a messy divorce, a wiretapping scandal, an FBI raid, a fugitive on the run, and literal doorbell sound effects in court before justice was finally served. This one's got everything - money, power, revenge, and a guy who really thought he was too rich to get caught.

From missing CCTV footage to questions about the crime scene and a rushed inquest, the investigation just didn't sit right with many people.

Mary Day was just 13 years old when she vanished from her family's home in Seaside, California, in 1981. But what should have been an urgent missing persons case… never was. No police report. No search. No desperate pleas from a grieving family. Instead, it was as if Mary had been erased. Two decades later, her younger sister Sherrie, haunted by the silence, finally reported Mary missing—kicking off an investigation that led to dark family secrets, chilling discoveries, and a case that seemed to point in only one direction: murder. Detectives were certain they were looking for Mary's body. And when cadaver dogs alerted to a backyard where the family once lived, it seemed like confirmation of their worst fears. But then, in a twist that no one saw coming, Mary reappeared. Alive. Or was she? In this episode, we unravel the baffling case of Mary Day—where nothing is as it seems, and even DNA evidence leaves more questions than answers. Was Mary really a runaway, lost to the streets for decades? Or did something far more sinister happen in that house in 1981?

In January 2011, 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her apartment by her fiancé, Sam. The door was locked from the inside with a swing bar latch, so at first glance, it seemed like a tragic suicide. But when the medical examiner discovered 20 stab wounds—yes, 20—to her chest, head, and the back of her neck, they ruled it a homicide. The police, however, disagreed. Despite the unending and unanswered questions, they stuck to their guns and called it a suicide. But what really happened to Ellen?

Laura Frizzo was Michigan's Upper Peninsual's UP's first female police chief. One evening, just as she was heading home, a distressed woman arrived at the station, convinced her friend, Chris Regan, was missing. Chris was reliable, detail-oriented, and days away from starting his dream job in North Carolina. His sudden disappearance made no sense—unless someone wanted him gone. As Chief Frizzo began unraveling the mystery, all roads seemed to lead to a married couple, Kelly and Jason Cochran. Their house, their secrets, and even their journals hinted at something darker. But was it enough to prove what really happened to Chris? And what exactly were they hiding? Want more of us? Join our Patreon!

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist is one of the most baffling art thefts in history! In the early hours of March 18, 1990, two men dressed as cops waltzed into Boston's famous museum, tied up the guards, and made off with 13 pieces of priceless art. Decades later, the frames still hang empty, waiting for the masterpieces to return. The case has never been solved and the missing works—worth over half a billion dollars—are still out there somewhere. Sponsors: Quince Go to quince.com/creepers for free shipping and 365-day returns!

This week, Kristin and Mogab are joined by special guest and friend of the podcast, Destiny, to tell them a truly atrocious story. Throughout the 70s and 80s, young women in Alaska were vanishing without a trace. These women had fallen prey to a sinister figure who took advantage of the wild Alaskan landscape, but their stories were largely ignored until one courageous woman managed to survive and broke the silence. But would she ever be able to find anyone to believe her story? Sponsors: Quince Go to quince.com/creepers for free shipping and 365-day returns!

In April of 1922, neighbors of the Gruber-Gabriel family stumbled upon a grizzly scene on a remote farmstead near Gröbern, Bavaria called Hinterkaifeck. They found all 6 residents - Andreas and Cäzilia Gruber, their daughter Viktoria, her children Cäzilia and Josef, and their maid Maria Baumgartner - bludgeoned to death with a farm tool. When police began their investigation they realized something incredibly eerie - the killer had remained on the property for several days after the murder, feeding the farm animals and using the kitchen, before vanishing without a trace. The investigation would lead to wild speculation about family secrets and local suspects, but the case remains unsolved, cementing it as one of Germany's most chilling true crime mysteries.

On August 5, 1996, 43-year-old Jennifer Myers was working alone at the Tailfeather Art Gallery in West Manchester Township, PA. Just before 11 AM, a man walked in, pulled a gun, and demanded money. The robber was interrupted by an unexpected delivery and fled, but he was quickly identified as a man named Kevin Dowling and arrested. But as the trial approached, Jennifer was found brutally murdered in the very gallery she worked. Police were convinced Kevin was the killer, but he had an alibi so airtight it seemed impossible—timestamped footage showed him fishing miles away on the day of the murder. So, who really killed Jennifer Myers? Or did Kevin Dowling somehow pull off the perfect crime? Sponsors: Quince Go to quince.com/creepers for free shipping and 365-day returns!

Daniel Morcombe was 13 years old when he vanished from a bus stop in Queensland, Australia, never to be seen again. The ramifications of this crime would be felt around Australia for decades to come. A large-scale investigation was launched almost immediately and quickly led police to several prime suspects, but after years went by with no arrests, it was looking like they may never get the evidence they'd need to solve the case.

On July 11, 2012, a distressing 911 call came in from Lubbock, Texas. The caller, a worker from Dr. Joseph Sonnier's landscaping service, reported that something was terribly wrong at the doctor's home. They described finding a window forcibly entered and others searching for Dr. Sonnier inside. Tragically, they discovered his lifeless body in the garage, having been shot five times and stabbed eleven times. The news was shocking to all who knew Dr. Sonnier, a cherished member of the community. Who could possibly want him dead? As the police investigation unfolded, it revealed a chilling trail leading back to someone who had never even met Dr. Sonnier but harbored a deadly vendetta against him—a tale of revenge.

In 2002, 26 year old single mother, Lydia Fairchild, found herself facing hard times. She decided to apply for government assistance, which required a DNA test to prove that she and the babies' father, Jamie Townsend, were the parents of the children. It was just a standard procedure. But the results of the test were absolutely shocking: Jamie was confirmed as the father, but the tests showed that Lydia was not the mother of her own children. But how could that be?

On December 3, 1998, 39-year-old Mark Jensen called 911 to report that something was terribly wrong with his wife, 40-year-old Julie Jensen. He had arrived home to find her lying in bed, looking as if she were simply resting. She looked perfectly fine, healthy even. But she wasn't breathing. First responders arrived within minutes, but their efforts were in vain—Julie was already gone, and it was clear she had been dead for some time. But how? There were no visible signs of injury or trauma, no evidence of drug use or anything that could explain her sudden death. The questions began to pile up: How could someone who seemed so healthy die so suddenly? What had really happened behind the closed doors of the Jensen home that day? The answers would be more shocking than anyone could have imagined.

This episode was originally dropped as a 2 parter, but because we are on our break we decided to put them together and give them to you as one single episode! After ending a 12 year relationship, Dave Kroupa decided to get back out there, and he signed up for online dating. After several months of dating a few different women, he met Cari Farver. She seemed perfect: incredibly smart, fun, and looking for a casual relationship, like him. But then, after dating for two weeks, Cari texted Dave asking if they should move in together. He was confused - he'd thought they were on the same page, so he told her no. And then he received a message back from Cari filled with vulgar, abusive insults and threats. And the messages didn't stop coming. He received hundreds a day for YEARS. Dave wanted the messages to stop, but Cari Farver could not be found.

This week, we're talking about the kidnapping of Denise Huskins. In the middle of the night on March 22, 2015, a group of broke into the home of Aaron Quinn and kidnapped his girlfriend, Denise Huskins. Aaron's story involved kidnappers wearing wet suits who played pre-recorded messages and wanted very little ransom for Denise's return. His story seemed so unbelievable to police, who were convinced early on that Aaron had done something to Denise. When that seemed unlikely, they formed a new theory: that Denise had never been kidnapped, and she was actually the real life Gone Girl.''

It's the second installment of our West Memphis Three series. In this part, we discuss how the police narrow in on Damien Echols for the murder of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. But Damien couldn't have done it alone - his best friend, Jason Baldwin, must have been involved. Unfortunately, investigators are far from proving it. That is, until they discover a third perpetrator - someone that was there and could tell them exactly what happened in Robin Hood Hills that night, and the person that would complete the West Memphis Three: Jesse MissKelley.

The first installment of our 3 parter on the West Memphis Three. In this episode, we dive deep into the tragic murders of three young boys – Christopher Byers, Stevie Branch, and Michael Moore. These murders shook the tight-knit community of West Memphis, Arkansas to its core. As details emerged, whispers of a Satanic cult swirled around town. The scene of the crime seemed to bear the marks of a ritualistic killing, leaving residents terrified and searching for answers. Enter 18-year-old Damien Echolls.

So how did they get there? Sponsors: Prose!
