Murder by poisoning has been a popular method of getting rid of someone for centuries. As life insurance policies became more commonplace, arsenic was given the nickname “the inheritance powder”. And who else would have easier access to other, more exotic poisons than people in the medical field. Like a nurse. Our case this week comes from the book An Almost Perfect Murder, by Gary C. King. Let's investigate why it was only almost perfect. We'll also investigate some of what David had to say in Psalm 35:4-6: May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay. May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away; may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them. Here are links to a couple of previous episodes that show just how devious anyone who uses poison as a murder weapon can be.

The out-of-work supermodels really struggled with this episode. Brandi's case gave her nightmares and Kristin's case is infuriatingly stupid. Brandi starts us off with the story of Brianna Denison, who was home from college, hanging out with friends when she was abducted from her friend's house. Investigators were able to get touch DNA off of a doorknob, which led them to other unsolved crimes in the area. Then Kristin tells us about Dr. David Stephens, who had an affair with a young nurse named Stephanie Kennedy. When David's wife, Karen, discovered the affair, she was beside herself. The couple argued. He got in his car to leave, and she grabbed a gun. She ran after him, holding the gun to her head. When she tripped, the gun went off. Karen died a few months later. About a year after that, David and Stephanie wed. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “The Doctor's Wife” episode of American Justice “The Other Woman” episode of 48 Hours In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Night Brianna Vanished” episode Dateline “College Student Staying With Friends Mysteriously Disappears From Their Living Room Couch” by Jill Sederstrom, oxygen.com “The Murder of Brianna Denison” by Gary C. King, trutv.com “Biela's fate now in hands of jury” by Martha Bellisle, Reno Gazette-Journal “Being Brianna's Brother” by Siobhan McAndrew, Reno Gazette-Journal YOU'RE STILL READING?

Courtney decided to destroy our souls by throwing Westley Allan Dodd at us in our very first episode. We broke this episode into three parts just to give us all time in-between to decompress. Because Westley is a lot and long before he took the lives of three young boys, he was a monster. In this first episode, we'll dive into Westley's childhood and how the system let a guy like this fall through the cracks. Recommended drink: fancy gin. The book Courtney mentioned: Driven to Kill by Gary C. King. We have re-edited this episode because now we know what we're doing (not really).

During the weekend of May 14, 2005 someone was watching the Groene/McKenzie household. They stalked the family from a fair distance away as they enjoyed the late Spring weekend in Idaho. At night they peered into the family's windows using night vision goggles so they could learn the floorplan of their home and watch the children sleep. This is the stranger that you have always been warned about.  Patreon.com/truecrimecouple Sponsors: Athena Club Razors Athenaclub.com and use code tcc for 20% off Best Fiends Download Best Fiends FREE today on the App Store or Google Play Sources: Stolen in the Night Gary C.

Known as "Oregon's most prolific serial killer," the Molalla Forest Killer case is a rough one.  These are the stories of the victims of Dayton Leroy Rogers, a monster who should have been locked up permanently years before he would be linked to the murders of 8 women in the summer of 1987.

GARY WROTE THE FIRST TRUE CRIME BOOK I EVER READ...AND HE GAVE ME GOOD ADVICE

Danilo Restivo claimed he had no idea that it was not ok to go around cutting women's hair without permission while he touched himself...but we are sure he knows murder is not ok, otherwise why would he have attempted to cover it up for 17 years? Take a listen to hear the story of the beautiful Elisa Claps and the sweet mother of two Heather Barnett, and how they met their tragic end by a sick man with a fetish for the smell and feel of women's hair.

Episode 133 - Throughout the 1970s and '80s serial pedophile Westley Allan Dodd molested dozens of children in the Pacific Northwest. Although caught for his crimes more than once Dodd never did any real prison time. Feeling invincible, Westley's fantasies became more violent and depraved until the fall of 1989 when he crossed the line between child predator to multiple murder. On Labour Day weekend in Vancouver, WA. park Westley murdered two brothers, 11- and 10-year-old Cole and William Neer and nonchalantly walked out of the park undetected. Not satisfied with a single victim, Westley craved another kill and on October 29, 1989, he murdered 4-year-old Lee Iseli after kidnapping him from a Portland OR. playground. The Vancouver Child Killer's ultimate undoing was his still unchecked desire for yet another victim. Sources and Further Reading: Dodd's Uncensored Diary Driven to Kill by Gary C.

Dayton Leroy Rogers, was known in Portland, Oregon as a respected businessman and devoted husband and father. But at night he abducted women, forced them into sadistic bondage games, and thrilled in their pain, terror and mutilation. His murderous spree was stopped only after-in plain view, he slashed to death his final victim...and when a hunter accidentally stumbled onto the burial grounds of seven other women Rogers had killed one-by-one in the depths of the Molalla Forest, police realized they were dealing with a serial killer whose bloodlust knew no bounds. This is the shocking true story of the horrifying crimes, capture, and conviction of Dayton Leroy Rogers, Oregon's mild-mannered businessman by day--vicious serial killer by night. BLOOD LUST: Potrait of a Serial Sex Killer-Gary C. King

By all appearances, 29 year-old Westley Allan Dodd was the perfect all-American boy—model high school student, camp counselor and U.S. Navy enlistee. But behind his mask of normalcy lurked a predatory sex fiend with a 17 year history of appalling acts of molestation and violence. Children were his victims and the parks of the Pacific Northwest his personal hunting grounds.In September 1989, his unnatural desires had driven him past simple satisfaction to abduct, torture, and kill two young boys in Vancouver, Washington. Dodd killed a third innocent victim only weeks later near Portland, Oregon. But only when he was caught trying to kidnap a child from a local movie theater was he finally taken into custody by police. Confessing to these heinous murders, he was convicted on all three counts and sentenced to death. Based on exclusive access to police files and riveting trial testimony, personal interviews with Dodd himself and excerpts from his chilling &#
