Weird True Crime

On the morning of September 26, 2003, 32-year-old Army veteran and father Eric Nelams stepped outside his Phenix City, Alabama home to head to work—just like he did every other day. Minutes later, he was gunned down in his own carport. Despite witnesses, potential suspects, and a possible motive, Eric's murder remains unsolved more than two decades later. In this episode, we explore the tragic and frustrating case of Eric Nelams—an honorably discharged veteran, a devoted father, and a man who was deeply loved by his family and community. We examine the suspicious circumstances surrounding his murder, including an alleged fraud scheme, questionable behavior from those closest to him, and early missteps by law enforcement that may have cost investigators valuable time and evidence. Eric's family, including his sister Cathy and mother Annie, have never stopped fighting for answers. From billboards and petitions to monthly emails to police, their pursuit of justice is as strong today as it was in 2003.

After diving into the world of creative criminal sentencing, Gina and Amber are back—this time turning their attention to the unsung heroes of chaos control: 911 dispatchers. From mistaking a goat for a kidnapped child to a man mowing shag carpet in the living room, this episode dives into some of the weirdest, funniest, and flat-out absurd emergency calls ever recorded. Whether it's a deer standoff, an accidental dog dial, or tomatoes classified as missiles—yes, really—these stories highlight just how weird the world can be when you're on the other end of the emergency line.

In August 2017, award-winning journalist Kim Wall boarded a homemade submarine in Copenhagen to interview eccentric inventor Peter Madsen. She was never seen alive again. What began as a promising story turned into one of the most chilling and bizarre true crime cases in recent memory. In this episode, we take you through Kim's life, the investigation into her murder, the trial that shocked Denmark, and how her legacy continues to impact journalism around the world. This is not just a story about a horrific crime — it's a story about the power of storytelling, the dangers journalists face, and the fight to remember Kim Wall for how she lived, not how she died.  

In today's episode, Gina and Amber are diving deep into the wild world of creative criminal sentencing. We're talking bread-and-water diets, lawnmower justice, court-mandated makeovers, and yes—someone actually had to knit sweaters as punishment. From animal neglect to sidewalk-stomping road rage, these stories feature judges who didn't just throw the book—they rewrote the entire genre. Come for the crimes, stay for the sentencing—and see how these mischief-makers got served a steaming hot plate of poetic justice. Whether it's jail time in a wig or holding up a sign that screams “I'm an idiot,” you'll be laughing and lowkey thankful you've never crossed paths with these legendary judges.

In this episode, we're honored to share a powerful conversation with Charlie Shunick — founder of the Resource Association for Missing People, forensic consultant, professor, and passionate advocate for families of the missing. Back in October 2024, G attended the virtual Cold Case Symposium — a meaningful event that brings together families of unsolved homicide and missing persons cases from across the country. It was there she heard Charlie speak, and the impact of her words was immediate and emotional. Charlie's heartfelt presentation on the harms of exploitative true crime content and the importance of ethical storytelling struck a deep chord. We knew then that we had to invite her on the show. Charlie brings a unique and invaluable perspective to this conversation. Her sister, Mickey Shunick, was tragically taken in 2012 — a loss that fuels the deeply personal work she does today. From founding her own resource organization and consulting company to teaching forensic science and maintaining a body farm (for animals!), Charlie is dedicated to making a difference both in and out of the classroom. This conversation is thoughtful, moving, and a must-listen for anyone who creates, consumes, or shares true crime content.

In this episode, we dive into some of the most bizarre and hilarious fast food crimes, from a meth lab in a Taco Bell to a chaotic art heist at an Arby's, and a robbery foiled by a trail of hot dogs. Join Amber and Gina as they break down these outlandish criminal acts with humor and sarcasm, uncovering what went wrong, what went way too far, and how the police and fast food employees handled these situations in the weirdest ways possible. You won't believe the absurdity behind these true crime tales straight from your favorite fast food joints.

We're throwing it back to the very first episode we ever recorded together — and it's a case that still gives us chills. Sixteen-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart was house-sitting for her aunt and uncle when what should've been a quiet night turned into an unthinkable nightmare. In this episode, we cover how two of Cassie's classmates carried out a cold, premeditated murder — all while documenting their plan on video. It's a case that's not only heartbreaking, but also incredibly disturbing in how calculated it was. If you've never heard this one, buckle up. And if you have, it's worth a revisit — this case sticks with you.  

In this gripping episode of Weird True Crime, Amber and Gina uncover some of the most bizarre, shocking, and jaw-dropping true crime headlines—from hidden backyard bodies to murder-for-hire plots gone wrong.

What would you do if you discovered your father had been leading a double life—one as a respected firefighter, the other as an alleged hitman for the Chicago Outfit? That's exactly what Kyle Tekiela faced when he learned the shocking truth about his father, Kenny "The Kid" Tekiela. In his gripping podcast, Crook County, Kyle unpacks his father's alleged ties to the infamous Chicago Outfit—a crime syndicate that operated under mob bosses like Sam Giancana and Al Capone. In this episode, I sit down with Kyle to discuss what it was like to uncover his father's past, the emotional toll it took on him and his family, and why he decided to share his story with the world. We also dive into the production of Crook County, the unexpected responses he's received, and the impact this journey has had on his mental and emotional well-being. If you love true crime, family secrets, and deeply personal storytelling, you won't want to miss this one!

In this episode, we uncover the tragic and deeply unsettling case of Leon Laureles, a kind-hearted man from Brownwood, Texas, whose life was brutally cut short in May 1996. Leon, a Hispanic, gay man in a conservative small town, was shot execution-style and left by his burning car on a remote road. His murder shocked the community—but not enough to bring justice.We dive into Leon's life, his role as a caregiver for his family, and the days leading up to his murder when he shared fears for his safety. From the mishandling of evidence to the deeply flawed investigation riddled with prejudice, this case raises questions about systemic failures that have kept Leon's murder unsolved for nearly three decades.Through the voice of Leon's niece, Arlene Harbison, we learn about the family's enduring fight to keep his memory alive and uncover the truth. Arlene's strength and dedication remind us that even when the system fails, families like hers refuse to let their loved ones be forgotten.What to Expect in This Episode:Leon's life and legacy: The caregiver, the musician, the family man.The night of May 9, 1996: What happened in the hours before Leon's murder.A bungled investigation: Missing evidence, false narratives, and systemic prejudice.Arlene's fight for justice: How one woman refuses to let Leon's story fade away.Why this case matters: A discussion of hate crimes, small-town corruption, and the need for accountability.Additional Resources and How You Can Help:Learn more about Leon's story and Arlene's efforts by listening to her podcast, Box in the Basement and visiting justiceforleon.com.Follow us on social media for updates and discussions about this case.Where to Listen:You can find this episode and more on [Podcast Platforms], including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and [any other platform you'd like to mention].Engage With Us:Did this episode resonate with you?

Today Amber and Gina are diving into the inspiration behind the movie, Scream! Kevin Williamson, the screenwriter behind the 90s cult classic, was inspired to write the script after watching a documentary about Henry David Rolling, the “Gainsville Ripper.” Henry Rolling went on a kiling spree in 1990, taking the lives of five college students over the span of a few days. Let's break down Rolling's crimes, and how the themes in Scream correlate directly with the real-life monster.Website: www.weirdtruecrime.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/weirdtruecrimeInstagram: www.instagram.com/weirdtruecrimeTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@weirdtruecrimeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcAPlqQ1t9nzA9B6kAKifmAEmail: weirdtruecrime@gmail.comPodcast Production: djaudio22@gmail.comMember of the Darkcast Network: https://www.darkcastnetwork.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-true-crime--5679751/support.

In this episode of Weird True Crime, we delve into the heart-wrenching case of Elijah Vue, a three-year-old boy whose disappearance shook an entire community. Elijah was reported missing from his mother's boyfriend's apartment on February 20, 2024. What began as a frantic search for a missing child soon turned into a haunting mystery. Katrina Baur, Elijah's mother, and Jesse Vang, her boyfriend, were soon taken into custody, facing charges of child neglect and PTAC (party to a crime) in connection to the case. Both are currently being held at the Manitowoc County Jail. Despite extensive search efforts and a few publicly known developments, Elijah remained missing for months, leaving the community desperate for answers.Then, in a tragic turn of events, skeletal remains were discovered in September 2024. The devastating news came shortly after—DNA testing confirmed that the remains belonged to Elijah Vue. His disappearance had come to a heartbreaking end. In this episode, we will take you through the timeline of events, from the day Elijah went missing to the discovery of his remains. We'll discuss the investigation, the legal proceedings, and the lingering questions surrounding this tragic case. Join us as we explore the disappearance of Elijah Vue, a story of unimaginable loss and unanswered questions. Website: www.weirdtruecrime.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/weirdtruecrimeInstagram: www.instagram.com/weirdtruecrimeTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@weirdtruecrimeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcAPlqQ1t9nzA9B6kAKifmAEmail: weirdtruecrime@gmail.comPodcast Production: djaudio22@gmail.comMember of the Darkcast Network: https://www.darkcastnetwork.com/Resources: https://htv-prod-media.s3.amazonaws.com/files/baur-and-vang-charged-criminal-complaint-65dd0032c1ea6.pdfhttps://manitowoccountywi.gov/PrisonerListing/Prisoner_List.pdfhttps://www.cnn.com/2024/04/18/us/elijah-vue-missing-wisconsin-toddler/index.htmlhttps://www.facebook.com/TwoRiversPoliceDepartmenthttps://spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee/news/2024/03/05/vehicle-of-interest-elijah-vuehttps://www.thedailybeast.com/sheriff-tears-up-as-missing-3-year-old-elijah-vues-family-begs-for-helphttps://www.htrnews.com/story/news/local/2024/09/09/elijah-vue-search-in-two-rivers-latest-after-human-remains-found-near-girl-scout-camp/75143005007/https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02EhAQogvw6jxesyRxXZ7D3V1tbCeKYp2xRTVx4Ak3HL3FUpJtULJ55Lg4mM1A7TGal&id=61563278030447https://www.facebook.com/LockharTVMediaLLC/posts/pfbid02bW9qZaG7SWyLPKjvPJCbtoBCstCtHYnpUdyTtYLuPnXmnn5WteNss7cokAfx1b7wlhttps://www.facebook.com/TwoRiversPoliceDepartmenthttps://www.courttv.com/tag/elijah-vue/https://www.wbay.com/2024/03/12/elijah-vue-search-timeline-his-mothers-actions-leading-up-disappearance/https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/elijah-vue-missing-child-wisconsin-b2504145.htmlhttps://www.wbay.com/2024/03/12/elijah-vue-search-timeline-his-mothers-actions-leading-up-disappearance/https://www.wbay.com/2024/04/19/elijah-vue-case-timeline-elijah-vues-disappearance/https://www.wisn.com/article/i-dont-know-what-broke-says-elijah-vues-grandma-about-her-daughter/60596735https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/18/us/elijah-vue-missing-wisconsin-toddler/index.htmlhttps://www.nbc26.com/tworivers/day-3-a-communitys-search-for-elijah-vue-continueshttps://www.fox6now.com/news/elijah-vue-update-two-rivers-091324?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2HOL4UtT5ttc0gDNaYTmJZHcl2yRt1iNslwe5Rz3uNr9l-VX1wzR8n6qw_aem_wgIQXboGDkmVL9oeIHSwJghttps://www.newsweek.com/elijah-vue-case-update-missing-boy-amber-alert-1936756#:~:text=During%20Wednesday's%20hearing%2C%20Elijah%20Vue's,son%20is%20still%20missing…https://www.wisn.com/article/wisconsin-missing-3-year-old-caregiver-charged-conspiracy-human-trafficking/60249652https://wcca.wicourts.gov/caseDetail.html?caseNo=2024CF000162&countyNo=36&index=0&mode=detailshttps://wcca.wicourts.gov/caseDetail.html?caseNo=2024CF000163&countyNo=36&index=0&mode=detailsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-true-crime--5679751/support.

In this episode of Weird True Crime, we explore the case of Ted Shaughnessy, a respected jeweler from Austin, Texas, who was tragically murdered in his own home. Ted and his wife, Corey, were well-known in their community for their successful jewelry store, Gallerie Jewelers. Their quiet life was disrupted when Ted was killed, and Corey narrowly escaped. As the investigation progressed, authorities focused on their son, Nick, and his wife, Jackie. Detectives uncovered financial issues and disturbing plans that suggested Nick and Jackie were involved in a plot against Ted and Corey. This episode examines the family's story, the details of the investigation, and the impact of these events on those involved.

Between February and May 1946, three people were brutally attacked and five were murdered in Texarkana by a man dubbed the Phantom Killer. Texarkana straddles Texas and Arkansas and had a population of about 27,000 at the time of the murders. The murders have never been solved, though many believe to know who's responsible for the crimes. James “Jimmy” Hollis and Mary Jeanne Larey were attacked in February 1946 but luckily survived. Richard Griffin and Polly Ann Moore were not so lucky when they were killed just three weeks later in March. Paul Martin and Betty Jo Booker were the second double murder three weeks later in April. Virgil Starks was killed and his wife Katie was shot twice at the beginning of May 1946. Then the attacks ended as quickly as they began.
