Worse Than Fiction Podcast

On this episode, friend of the podcast Landen Wilson joins me to talk about being a Death Investigator. He is a former Death Investigator for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and performed many autopsies during his tenure.We also go over the unsolved murder case of Russell and Shirley Dermond, and Landen has a unique connection to the case that most people don't. He actually saw their bodies.His personal story about an incident that ultimately led to his resignation from the GBI can be heard on both Murder Was the Case, and Ignorance Was Bliss:Murder Was the Case, titled Headshot: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/251-headshot-part-1-death-investigator-dive-bar-w-landen/id1327969221?i=1000551708681Ignorance Was Bliss, titled Full Evisceration: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/390-full-evisceration-with-landen-from-autopsy/id1341566170?i=1000551181208Landen's podcast, Autopsy: https://www.autopsypod.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=29802408https://www.facebook.com/WorseThanFictionPodcasthttps://twitter.com/WorseTFPodcast Podcast Promo: The Gen-X Gamer Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gen-x-gamer-podcast/id1516167335 Theme music by Ecdysis:https://ecdysis66.bandcamp.com/https://www.facebook.com/ecdysisofficial/

In honor of my favorite holiday, I have a fictional horror story written by EF Benson, and published in 1912. Enjoy.A new true story is in the works, and I should have the writing finished soon. Keep an eye out for that.epidemicsound.com

I'm not dead yet! ....I will be one day, but this isn't that day! I have posted about where I've been on both Twitter, and in the Facebook group, so if you want to interact directly with me, or get any news I might have, those are the best places to find it. This is a short true crime story I wrote a while back that I was personally involved in. The Murder of Paul Brown in Hamilton Ohio. I've pulled it from Patreon exclusivity, and I give to you all. It's...intimate, and very real, especially to me since it was so close to home. Just listen to it, this story probably has more soul than anything I've ever released.Content Warning by Emily G.

Here is the failed, former "Mental Horrors" that I mentioned in 8000 Tons. I failed hard at making it work the way I wanted, but as I explain in the intro, I went about it the wrong way and wasted many, many hours trying to write a story within this discussion. I decided to scrap it, and release this as-is.The Book Kate mentions in the conversation: "Flowers for Algernon" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36576608-flowers-for-algernon Thank you for your patience, and I'm charging headlong into the next episode, which is a story that few podcasters are brave enough to tell in detail.Featuring the expert knowledge of Kate Wallinga from the podcast, Ignorance Was Bliss: https://iwbpodcast.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=29802408http://worsethanfictionpodcast.com/https://www.facebook.com/WorseThanFictionPodcasthttps://twitter.com/WorseTFPodcast Podcast Friends- British Murders: https://linktr.ee/britishmurdersHarpy Hour: https://www.harpyhourpodcast.com/Cold Callers Comedy: https://linktr.ee/ColdCallersComedyTheme music by Ecdysis:https://ecdysis66.bandcamp.com/https://www.facebook.com/ecdysisofficial/

A little episode to give everyone an update and remind followers that I'm still here!Not only that, but I go through a listener requested story without a script! I hope it isn't bad...and I'd be willing to bet that the overwhelming majority of you have never heard of this crime. The murder weapon is horrific to imagine, and the terror that the victims must have felt cannot be overstated.Research assistance provided by Lana McCallContent Warning by: Fern from Evidence of a Crime podcast: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/evidence-of-a-crime-1182601Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=29802408http://worsethanfictionpodcast.com/https://www.facebook.com/WorseThanFictionPodcasthttps://twitter.com/WorseTFPodcast Theme music by Ecdysis:https://ecdysis66.bandcamp.com/https://www.facebook.com/ecdysisofficial/ epidemicsound.com

In late 1940, Nazi bomber squadrons became the clouds in the sky over London, and the surrounding cities and ports.

In the small state of Delaware in 1987, a 36 year old woman was yearning for something she wasn't able to have. She was willing to do anything to achieve her goal.CORRECTIONS: A couple of mistakes have been brought to my attention. Delaware is not part of New England, though I said "New England charm", and I meant to say "The Godfather Three" instead of "The Grandfather Three". I listened to the episode many times during post-production and still didn't catch that. I'm human, and doing all of this alone so there are bound to be mistakes here and there.Podcast Friend- Drunk Medical Stories- Highly recommended.

Most of us leave the doors unlocked while we're home. We never consider the fact, that at any given time, a stranger with a lust for blood could casually stroll right in, catching us off-guard. This story is a grim reminder that we should probably be a little bit more diligent about securing our homes, especially while we're in them.(This is an updated version that fixes an audio issue in the original upload where there was supposed to be a short interview with James and Kim Haubenschild. It was accidentally muted in the original upload.)Theme Song by: Ecdysishttps://ecdysis66.bandcamp.com/https://www.facebook.com/ecdysisofficial/Background Music from https://filmmusic.io"Digital Bark", "It Is Lost"  & "Ultra Low Note" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Main Sources:The Denver Post9News Denverhttps://theoremfact.wordpress.com/Various Articles
