In June 1997, Uwe Durbin was brutally tortured and murdered in Riverside, California. Durbin, who had been staying with Lester “Woody” Wilson and his wife Barbara Phillips, was accused by Wilson of stealing electronics from their home. In retaliation, Wilson and Phillips abducted Durbin at gunpoint and brought him back to their house. Over several hours, Durbin was savagely beaten, shot in the knee, strangled, and tortured with objects including battery-filled gloves. The attackers also brought chemical drain cleaner, allegedly intending to dissolve his body, and held Durbin's family members hostage during the ordeal.In the early morning hours of June 9, Wilson and others attempted to transport Durbin's battered body but their car broke down along California's Highway 91. There, Durbin was shot five times in the head and left in a roadside drainage ditch. His body was discovered later that day. Wilson was arrested, convicted of first-degree murder with special circumstances of torture and kidnapping, and sentenced to death. Barbara Phillips was also convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The case remains one of Riverside County's most disturbing examples of torture-murder.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

He spent 16 years in prison before DNA evidence led to his exoneration. Since then, he has dedicated his life to criminal justice reform and the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted.In 2006, with support from the Innocence Project, post-conviction DNA testing identified Steven Cunningham as the actual perpetrator.

Steve Lynn Nicholson is a Michigan man convicted of two counts of homicide and child abuse following the deaths of his two young children in October 2010. At the time, Nicholson was living in Allen Park, Michigan, where he had sole custody of his son, Jonathan, and shared custody of his daughter, Ella. On the night of October 19, 2010, both children were found dead in his apartment—Jonathan in the bathtub and Ella on the bathroom floor. The prosecution argued that Nicholson intentionally drowned both children, citing evidence of prior abuse and suspicious circumstances at the crime scene.Medical experts testified that Jonathan's lungs contained water, indicating he was deliberately submerged, and that Ella had been placed face-down after drowning, showing signs of scalding burns. Nicholson's defense contended that the deaths were accidental. However, the trial court convicted him of first-degree murder for Ella's death, second-degree murder for Jonathan's, and first-degree child abuse. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder convictions, plus additional time for child abuse.In 2012, the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld Nicholson's convictions, affirming that the trial court had properly admitted evidence of prior abuse and that the verdicts were supported by the evidence presented. The case highlighted Nicholson's history of mistreating the children, including reports from neighbors and his partner about physical abuse and neglect. The court found that the deaths were not accidental, citing the deliberate staging of the scene and the children's inability to escape the water. Nicholson remains incarcerated at the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility in Jackson, Michigan, serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

The Narco-Satánicos were a notorious criminal cult based in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, that became infamous in the late 1980s for combining drug trafficking with ritualistic killings. The group was led by Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo, a Cuban-American who called himself a "palo mayombe" priest—a religion with African-Cuban roots that he distorted into violent, occult practices. Key Facts:1. LeadershipAdolfo Constanzo was the leader and spiritual figurehead.He gained followers among drug traffickers and law enforcement, who believed his rituals brought protection and power.Sara Aldrete, a college student, became his second-in-command and was dubbed the "High Priestess."2. Beliefs and PracticesThe group practiced a twisted version of Palo Mayombe, involving animal and human sacrifices.Constanzo believed blood rituals would protect their drug operations and make them invisible to police.Victims were sometimes tortured and mutilated as part of these rituals.3. Criminal ActivitiesThe cult was heavily involved in drug trafficking, especially smuggling marijuana across the U.S.–Mexico border.They operated on a ranch called "Rancho Santa Elena" near Matamoros, which became the site of gruesome discoveries.4. The Murder of Mark KilroyTheir activities came to light after the 1989 abduction and murder of Mark Kilroy, a University of Texas student on spring break.Kilroy was kidnapped, tortured, and killed as a human sacrifice.The high-profile case led U.S. and Mexican authorities to investigate the cult.5. Collapse and AftermathPolice raided Rancho Santa Elena and discovered numerous mutilated bodies buried on the property.Constanzo died in a shootout with police in Mexico City in May 1989—reportedly after ordering one of his followers to kill him rather than be captured.Several cult members, including Sara Aldrete, were captured and received lengthy prison sentences.Cultural ImpactThe case shocked both Mexico and the U.S., blending true crime with horror elements.It inspired books, documentaries, and films due to its disturbing mix of drug crime and ritualistic occultism.Note: I was very limited on what I was able to ask Sara, due to her being under contract for a documentary at the time.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

Oscar Franklin Smith is a Tennessee death row inmate convicted of the 1989 murders of his estranged wife, Judith Smith, and her two teenage sons, Chad and Jason Burnett, in Nashville. He was sentenced to death in 1990 and is currently the oldest inmate on Tennessee's death row, aged 74.Smith has consistently maintained his innocence. His legal team argues that new DNA evidence—specifically, an unknown male's DNA found on one of the murder weapons—casts doubt on his conviction. Additionally, they claim juror misconduct and misinformation during his trial violated his fair trial rights.Smith's execution has been delayed multiple times. In April 2022, Governor Bill Lee halted his scheduled execution due to an oversight in lethal injection preparations. A subsequent review revealed that none of the lethal injection drugs used since 2018 had been fully tested, leading to a pause in executions. In response, Tennessee introduced a new execution protocol using pentobarbital as a single drug, though concerns about its potential to cause unconstitutional pain persist.Despite ongoing legal challenges, including a lawsuit questioning the constitutionality of the new execution protocol, Smith's execution is currently scheduled for May 22, 2025.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

The "Sergeant Daniel Baker Act" is a Tennessee law enacted in 2019 to expedite the appeals process in death penalty cases. Named in honor of Dickson County Sheriff's Sergeant Daniel Baker, who was tragically killed in 2018, the law mandates that death penalty cases be automatically reviewed by the Tennessee Supreme Court, bypassing the Court of Criminal Appeals. This change aims to speed up the judicial process for capital punishment cases.The law was passed following the murder of Sergeant Baker, who was fatally shot while responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle. The incident led to the arrest and conviction of Steven Wiggins, who was sentenced to death for the crime. In addition to the expedited appeals process, the law reflects Tennessee's commitment to swift justice in cases involving the death penalty.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

Brittany Phillips was an 18-year-old college student at Tulsa Community College when she was tragically murdered in her apartment on September 30, 2004. Her body was discovered after she failed to attend classes, showing signs of strangulation and sexual assault. Despite extensive investigations over the past two decades, including interviews with ex-boyfriends, strangers, and sex offenders, no suspects have been identified. In the years following Brittany's death, her mother, Maggie Zingman, has tirelessly pursued justice. She embarked on cross-country trips in her brightly colored KIA Carnival, dubbed the "Caravan to Catch a Killer," to raise awareness and generate new leads. These efforts have led to numerous tips, though none have conclusively solved the case. A significant development occurred in 2023 when Maggie discovered a birthday card mailed by Brittany in 2004, postmarked two days after her presumed death. This finding has prompted investigators to reconsider the timeline of events. Detectives are currently analyzing DNA found under Brittany's fingernails using genetic genealogy techniques, hoping to identify the perpetrator. Despite these challenges, Maggie remains committed to finding her daughter's killer, stating, "I want my daughter's case solved before I die."www.brittanyyphillipsmurder.netBrittany Phillips Tik tok: @Caravantocatchakiller www.unforbiddentruth.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

The Freeway Killer, Bill Bonin, was a notorious American serial killer who, alongside his accomplices, terrorized Southern California in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Bonin, often referred to as the "Freeway Killer" due to his victims' bodies being dumped along highways and freeways, is believed to have murdered at least 14 young men and boys between 1979 and 1980, though the exact number is still debated.His victims, often hitchhikers or male prostitutes, were sexually assaulted, tortured, and then killed, typically by strangulation or blunt force trauma.Bonin was a former military man with a history of violent offenses and was described as being charismatic yet extremely manipulative. He lured many of his victims by offering them rides, only to overpower them and subject them to horrific abuse. His killing spree was initially difficult to track, as he often discarded the bodies in remote locations along freeways in Los Angeles and surrounding areas.After his arrest in 1980, Bonin was convicted of 10 murders, though he was linked to additional cases. He was sentenced to death in 1982 and spent years on death row at San Quentin State Prison. Bonin was finally executed by lethal injection in 1996, after his appeals were exhausted. His crimes left a lasting legacy of fear in Southern California and remain one of the most chilling chapters in the history of American serial killers.Bonin's case also highlighted the disturbing nature of his accomplices, including a man named James Munro, Gregory Miley and Vernon Butts, who participated in some of the killings, contributing to the complexity and scope of the crimes. The Freeway Killer case remains a tragic example of the dangers lurking within society, as well as the dark psyche of a man who carried out his brutal acts under the radar for several years before justice was finally served.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

The Seattle Jewish Federation shooting, which occurred on July 28, 2006, was a tragic incident of targeted violence that deeply shook the community. The perpetrator, Naveed Afzal Haq, armed with two handguns, forced his way into the federation's offices, claiming he was angered by U.S. foreign policy and Israel's actions in Lebanon. Once inside, he opened fire indiscriminately, killing one woman and injuring five others, including a 17-year-old girl who was critically wounded. The shooting prompted a swift response from law enforcement, who apprehended Haq as he attempted to flee the scene.During his trial, Haq pleaded guilty to charges including murder, attempted murder, and unlawful imprisonment, ultimately receiving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. The attack left the Seattle community reeling, with an outpouring of support and solidarity shown towards the victims and their families. It also sparked conversations about security measures at community institutions and heightened awareness of the threat of domestic terrorism motivated by hate and extremism. In the aftermath of the shooting, efforts were made to memorialize the victims and strengthen community resilience against such acts of violence.

Jacob Gentry, a man from New Jersey, was wrongfully convicted in 2011 for the killing of his fellow pipeline worker, David Haulmark, during a fight. Gentry was sentenced to 30 years in prison for manslaughter after a brawl that resulted in Haulmark's death. However, after serving four years in prison, Gentry's conviction was overturned in January 2015.The overturning of his conviction was based on new evidence that came to light, including video footage that contradicted the original trial's findings. This evidence suggested that Gentry had acted in self-defense and was not responsible for Haulmark's death as initially believed.Gentry's case highlights the importance of having access to all relevant evidence and how new information can sometimes expose flaws in a conviction. His wrongful conviction and eventual exoneration shed light on issues within the justice system, especially in cases where critical evidence may have been overlooked or misinterpreted.Please note the reason for words replaced is due to Tik Tok's restriction of certain words.linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

The Freeway Killer, Bill Bonin, was a notorious American serial killer who, alongside his accomplices, terrorized Southern California in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Bonin, often referred to as the "Freeway Killer" due to his victims' bodies being dumped along highways and freeways, is believed to have murdered at least 14 young men and boys between 1979 and 1980, though the exact number is still debated.His victims, often hitchhikers or male prostitutes, were sexually assaulted, tortured, and then killed, typically by strangulation or blunt force trauma.Bonin was a former military man with a history of violent offenses and was described as being charismatic yet extremely manipulative. He lured many of his victims by offering them rides, only to overpower them and subject them to horrific abuse. His killing spree was initially difficult to track, as he often discarded the bodies in remote locations along freeways in Los Angeles and surrounding areas.After his arrest in 1980, Bonin was convicted of 10 murders, though he was linked to additional cases. He was sentenced to death in 1982 and spent years on death row at San Quentin State Prison. Bonin was finally executed by lethal injection in 1996, after his appeals were exhausted. His crimes left a lasting legacy of fear in Southern California and remain one of the most chilling chapters in the history of American serial killers.Bonin's case also highlighted the disturbing nature of his accomplices, including a man named James Munro, Gregory Miley and Vernon Butts, who participated in some of the killings, contributing to the complexity and scope of the crimes. The Freeway Killer case remains a tragic example of the dangers lurking within society, as well as the dark psyche of a man who carried out his brutal acts under the radar for several years before justice was finally served.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.
