On September 15th, 2010, Texas Oil man, Greg Fleniken, died in his hotel room. Greg had a sterling reputation. The kind of standup, privately introverted man who everyone loved and respected. He had no enemies, and he wasn't a womanizer. There was no sign of forced entry, no sign of struggle, no sign of injury, none of his posessions had been disturbed, and no one had seen or heard anything out of the ordinary The ripple effects of Greg Fleniken's sudden death emanated far beyond his hotel room. For a man who valued his routines, failing to call his wife, Susie, in the morning was more than an oversight; it was an alarm bell. His silence set a series of events into motion. Concerned co-workers, unanswered knocks, an unlocked door—these were the first steps into unraveling what had happened in that room. Susie had been expecting a routine call, but instead, she set off a cascade of inquiries that led two of Greg's co-workers to his hotel room. Once the door swung open, what they found was a tableau of stillness, life interrupted. Greg lay prone, with a cigarette arrested in its journey to his lips. The room was suffocatingly warm, in stark contrast to Greg's preference for a cool environment...Call 888-MURDERY that's 888-687-3379 to share YOUR Kinda Murdery story, or your story of living with a disability or other unique challenges, and you could inspire an episode of the show.

In the wake of Kari Baker's funeral, the community turned its gaze toward Matt, her husband. A minister of just 35 years, Matt sat on the front row at the service, his demeanor a tableau of inconsolable sorrow. When he lifted his head from his hands, his eyes, a light blue hue that was almost startling, met the congregation's gaze.After the eulogy, Matt found the strength to stand beside the pulpit, his two remaining daughters flanking him. With each hug and expression of condolences he received, he assured the congregation that he'd be back to preach on the most hopeful day in the Christian calendar—Easter Sunday. "God has not abandoned me," he whispered to one close friend, "He will give me the strength to carry on."But something unsettling began to shift about a month later. Rumors surfaced that Kari's mother, Linda Dulin, backed by her sisters and niece, was conducting her own investigation into Kari's death. The whispers intensified when word got out that Linda and her husband, Jim, had engaged a lawyer and private investigators. This was puzzling to many; after all, the Hewitt police had been convinced enough of Kari's suicide that they hadn't even requested an autopsy...CALL 888-MURDERY that's, 888-687-3379, to share YOUR Kinda Murdery story or your story of living with a disability or other challenges, and you could inspire an episode of the show!Sources:https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna34983893https://wacotrib.com/news/local/crime-courts/judge-denies-matt-bakers-request-for-new-trial/article_11218a26-8d83-504d-ad7f-c27aaf7a2a26.html#:~:text=Matt%20Baker%20walks%20out%20of,a%20new%20trial%20was%20denied.&text=Former%20Central%20Texas%20Baptist%20minister,Strother's%2019th%20State%20District%20Courthttps://www.texasmonthly.com/true-crime/the-valley-of-the-shadow-of-death/ https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/witness-for-theprosecution/#:~:text=Skip%20Hollandsworth%20specializes%20in%20long%2Dform%20narratives.&text=Editor's%20note%3A%20On%20January%2020,suspected%20of%20murdering%20his%20wife.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kinda-murdery--5496890/support.

In the early hours of a chilly winter morning in 2005, a grim discovery marks the beginning of a perplexing case that would haunt the western edge of Miami. Amid the transition where the orderly outer suburbia surrenders to the wild embrace of the Everglades, with its towering grass and dark, unforgiving mud, a scene unfolds that seems almost too brutal, too out of place. A local power-company worker, navigating through the routine of his day, drives by the desolate expanse of an unbuilt cul-de-sac. It's here, amidst the weeds and solitude, that he spots something. A young woman, merely 21, with long blond curls, lies facedown. She's naked, her body battered, an undeniable signal of the violence she endured, discarded at the very threshold of civilization and wilderness...CALL 888-MURDERY, that's, 888-687-3379, to share YOUR Kinda Murdery story or your story of living with a disability or other challenges, and you could inspire an episode of the show!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kinda-murdery--5496890/support.Sources:https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2010/12/vanishing-blonde-201012?redirectURL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vanityfair.com%2Fculture%2F2010%2F12%2Fvanishing-blonde-201012 https://www.insideedition.com/how-serial-rapist-was-finally-caught-thanks-suitcase-and-eagle-eyed-private-investigator-51906 https://www.nola.com/news/suitcase-rapist-pleads-guilty-in-new-orleans-and-sentenced-to-45-years/article_dac682b5-3590-5a25-ac1e-63c384ada70f.html  

Acknowledging that it sounded, “truly bizarre,” Robert J. Moody would say during his trial that, cocaine-pushing space aliens took control of his body and forced him to murder Michelle Malone, a friend, and Patricia Magda, a neighbor, in November 1993 to prove that aliens existed. The aliens told him that their mission required that he be convicted and sentenced to die but that he would survive a lethal injection, he testified Wednesday."After being declared dead, the extrasensory biological entities will bring me back to life to speak through me," he further insisted that his involvement in these crimes was involuntary. Space aliens were in control of his body, and he was merely an unconscious observer of the murders.Say what now? Find out.

In the dimming light of February 24, 1986, LAPD detectives stepped through the gates of a condo complex in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, their faces etched with stern concentration. The scene that awaited them was grim. Sherri Rasmussen, a 29-year-old nursing director and a newlywed of just three months, lay dead in her living room. She was found by her husband, John Ruetten, an engineer who had arrived home from work at precisely 5:55 p.m. As Ruetten pulled into his driveway, the first thing that caught his eye was the open garage door. Odd. The silver two-door BMW—a cherished engagement gift he had given to Sherri—was conspicuously missing...CALL 888-MURDERY, that's, 888-687-3379, to share YOUR Kinda Murdery story or your story of living with a disability or other challenges, and you could inspire an episode of the show!Sources: https://allthatsinteresting.com/sherri-rasmussenhttps://www.oxygen.com/the-real-murders-of-los-angeles/crime-news/bite-mark-on-sherri-rasmussen-ties-stephanie-lazarus-tohttps://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/06/the-lazarus-file/308499/ https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/nbc-dateline-who-sherri-rasmussen-s-killer-nowBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kinda-murdery--5496890/support.

Imagine a quiet town in Pennsylvania, August 28, 2003. The stage was set for a chilling tale that will send shivers down your spine. Brian Wells, an unassuming pizza delivery driver, stepped into a bank, but it wasn't a simple transaction he sought. No, he demanded a staggering $250,000, warning of a bomb with a deadly countdown. His voice trembled as he spoke those ominous words to the teller. Now, picture this: Brian, carrying a mere $8,702, exits the bank, encircled by the tightening grip of law enforcement, a bizarre device is strapped around his neck, a device he claims is a bomb.

The legend of H.H. Holmes and his so-called "Murder Castle" is an American Tall Tale gone bad... Holmes wasn't just any killer—he was one of America's first real serial killers. And it wasn't just the body count that made him infamous. It was that house.   Initially, people thought it was just a regular hotel, a smart business move by Holmes to cash in on the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. But, when the police finally took a good, hard look inside, they found something straight out of a nightmare. The Murder Castle wasn't some run-of-the-mill hotel with a few secrets behind the wallpaper and a revolving bookcase. No, this thing was a cathedral to the macabre. It wasn't built for guests—it was built for victims. As for the body count? Well, that's still up for debate. Some say Holmes killed as few as nine people. Others think he might've murdered as many as 200...Either way, he wasn't running a hotel—he was running a slaughterhouse. Some might even say he was running the prototypical, "Haunted House"...If you found Kinda Murdery because of the Hillbilly Horror Stories Halloween Special, thank you so much for being here!  If you haven't heard Hillbilly Horror Stories, Jerry and Tracy deliver a fantastic show, and please do listen to their 7th Annual Halloween Special - featuring Kinda Murdery -  here: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hillbilly-horror-stories-7th-halloween-episode/id1146579746?i=1000674689093Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6mOvm0mPyfQ0g0ljOHwH6q?si=_z-7zZEGT4CjL1HbPGWvcAHillbilly Horror stories is also availble here, and wherever you get your podcasts!: https://www.hillbillyhorrorstories.com/podcast/episode/795e08d2/hillbilly-horror-stories-7th-halloween-episodeHAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!Sources: https://allthatsinteresting.com/hh-holmes-hotel https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/enduring-mystery-hh-holmes-americas-first-serial-killer-180977646/ https://www.biography.com/crime/hh-holmesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kinda-murdery--5496890/support.

On Ron's Amazing Stories, we'll be delving into the fascinating world of monsters. We'll explore their history, origins, and the stories that have been told about them for centuries. First up, we have a segment called The Other Day I Thought. Ron will share his musings on the truth about monsters. Next, we'll be reviewing the audiobook American Monsters by Linda Godfrey. This book presents some of the strangest creatures known to reside in the United States. Godfrey has done extensive research on these creatures and has compiled a collection of stories and reports that will leave you both fascinated and horrified. Following the book review, we'll have a short story by Gregg, who shares a work of fiction he wrote titled The Monster of Gifford National Forest. This story is a gripping tale of a creature that terrorizes his family in the Pacific Northwest. Our featured story for this episode comes from the OTR series Dark Fantasy and is titled The Sea Phantom. This story is not what you're expecting. It's a chilling tale of a ghost that haunts the depths of the ocean. Next up, we have Johnny Is True: Can You Tell Folklore from Fakery?. Your challenge is to decide which facts are based on real folklore and which ones are completely made up. Finally, we'll end the show with an oddity. I asked Google's Gemini to create a monster tale based on my inputs. The results were...well, you'll just have to listen to find out. Featured Story - The Sea Phantom Our featured story loosely follows the theme of monsters. Dark Fantasy was a short radio series with tales of weird adventures and the supernatural. Although a short series, the stories are amazing with some being way ahead of their time. Our story today visits monsters in the form of ghosts protecting a treasure that is 100s of years old. It is titled The Sea Phantom and it first aired on January 6, 1942.

American Monster Richard Chase, known as the “Vampire of Sacramento,” stood apart even in the twisted world of serial killers. From a young age, he was gripped by powerful delusions.

Bigfoot is an instantly recognizable figure. Through the decades, this elusive primate has been featured in movies and books, on coffee mugs, beer koozies, car polish, and CBD oil. Which begs the question: what is it about Bigfoot that's caught hold of our imaginations? Journalist and self-diagnosed skeptic John O'Connor is fascinated by Sasquatch. In The Secret History of Bigfoot: Field Notes on a North American Monster (Sourcebooks, 2024), he embarks on a quest through the North American wilds in search of Bigfoot, its myth and meaning. Alongside an eccentric cast of characters, he explores the zany and secretive world of "cryptozoology," tracking Bigfoot through ancient folklore to Harry and the Hendersons, while examining the forces behind our ever-widening belief in the supernatural. As O'Connor treks through the shrouded forests of the Pacific Northwest, listens to firsthand accounts, and attends Bigfoot conventions, he's left wondering―what happens when the lines between myth and reality blur? Perfect for fans of Bill Bryson and Douglas Preston, and with sharp wit and an adventurous spirit, this heartfelt exploration of a cornerstone of American folklore unpacks why we believe in the things that we do, what that says about us, and how it shapes our world. John O'Connor was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and attended the creative writing program at Columbia University, where he wrote his thesis on competitive eating. His writing has appeared in The Believer, Quarterly West and Gastronomica, among other publications. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers and articles on G. K. Chesterton and John Ford, he teaches research and writing at Rutgers and co-hosts the podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, found here on the New Books Network and on X.

Detrás de cualquier sonrisa inocente y en cualquier calle de Estados Unidos se puede encontrar un monstruo.

This is an episode from last October that was lost during the Spotify purge of copyrighted songs. Bryan and RP talk about local legends, Philadelphia Phillies in the playoffs and the Oogie Boogie bash. We then dive into the Ravensburger reskin of Horrified. Will the addition of American cryptids be enough to separate this from the Universal Monsters version? Or is this just a quick buck reskin?

Get ready to dive deep into the shadowy realms of the unexplained!

Connor and Dylan are joined by Antwayn Hopper (A Strange Loop, Hair). This trio delivers a high energy episode while a summer storm rages on. Antwayn blesses our ears with his beautiful baritone voice, taking us on his journey from Topeka, Kansas to the stages of New York City. Of course we chat all about A Strange Loop, where Antwayn made his mark as Thought 6, as well as the creative beauty of making his Broadway debut in the latest Hair revival. We learn about Billy Porter's take on The Life, which Antwayn starred in, and how sharing his whole self has led to moments like that. These three laugh and throw a little shade, wondering about the state of the dramaturg, swooning over Norm Lewis and Brian Stokes Mitchell, and Antwayn even suggests who should replace Wendy Williams on TV. Hint: you know them. There are recs of Dermot Kennedy's music, Mary Rodgers' memoir Shy, and American Monster. It's a thrill ride of an episode, and Antwayn brings the DRAMA!Follow Antwayn on InstagramFollow DRAMA. on Twitter & Instagram & TiktokFollow Connor MacDowell on Twitter & InstagramFollow Dylan MacDowell on Twitter & InstagramEdited by DylanSupport the podcast by subscribing to DRAMA+, which also includes bonus episodes, Instagram Close Friends content, and more!

Hi Friends! Today on Murder, Mystery & Makeup, I wanted to talk about Margie Velma Bullard Barfield. Whew weee, she sure did do some damage for a long time. I believe all the fires, were her. All the husbands/boyfriends, were her. The people she took “care of”, yeah, I think she was responsible for all the chaos that was happening around her. Sad that it took so long for anyone to catch on. Love you so much and please be safe out there!
