The Fellowship is pleased to present our conversation with author Jaleigh Johnson. Her new book Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks: Bound For Ruin releases March 5, 2024. Plus our usual crazy talk, geek news, and tangents
In a recent discussion on the podcast "Hidden Killers", hosted by Tony Brueski, forensic psychologist Kate Wallinga delves into a deeper, more speculative side of the Delphi murders, raising intriguing questions about our inherent human desire to find patterns and explanations, especially in dark and complicated matters. Brueski starts by mentioning the speculations surrounding Odinism and Satanism in the context of the murders. He states, "People want a reason for things because humans being terrible doesn't seem to be enough of a reason, but sometimes that's it." Wallinga agrees, adding that some of the patterns people perceive can be "fantastical," but there may be a thread of truth in them. Indeed, some of the suggestions linking the Delphi murders to Odinism and related topics are based on real evidence. Brueski brings attention to certain prison guards and individuals whose Facebook pages showcase Odinist symbols and ruins. While this doesn't conclusively connect them to any criminal activity, it raises the eyebrows of many. Wallinga, with her experience in the prison system, notes that there's a "draw to darkness" in such environments. "You're spending your days on purpose with murderers. And so sometimes you get drawn to things like that," she explains. This could potentially mean that certain dark interests might not necessarily equate to guilt but rather be a result of one's professional environment. The conversation then touches upon the broader topic of our online behavior. Wallinga humorously points out that based on her search history alone, one could assume she's involved in dark activities, which isn't the case. Humans, she explains, have an inherent need to find patterns, and the danger lies in taking these patterns as undeniable evidence. However, certain patterns associated with the Delphi murders seem too significant to ignore. Brueski mentions posts from people, never named as suspects, who had symbols resembling those found on the victims' bodies. Additionally, there's the controversial direction of the investigation by the chief of police, Tony Liggett. He seemed to have bypassed more plausible suspects in favor of less likely ones. Brueski suggests that this could be seen as either a conspiracy theory or simply a case of biased police work. Wallinga doesn't shy away from expressing her skepticism about some members of law enforcement. She believes some police officers may be inclined to see only what they want to see. She states, "When you look for bad things, when you are drawn to bad things, you find it." This sentiment underlines the danger of confirmation bias in investigations. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the feasibility of a conspiracy theory surrounding the murders. If one were to believe in a grand Odinist plot, it would require a vast number of individuals in power to be involved, all acting in perfect sync. As Wallinga puts it, the very thought of such a coordinated effort "blows it all out of the water." The revelations and discussions from this podcast episode shed light on a significant problem in modern crime investigations. How do we distinguish between genuine patterns that lead to truth and those that are mere coincidences or products of human imagination? And when does the line between professional curiosity and personal belief get blurred? So, as we ponder the intricacies of the Delphi murders and the theories that surround them, a pressing question remains: In our quest to find explanations in dark matters, are we sometimes seeing patterns that aren't really there?

In the age of viral conspiracy theories and internet-driven narratives, the line between villains and victims is increasingly being blurred. The latest episode of "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, featuring a candid conversation with forensic psychologist, Kate Wallinga, delved deep into this perplexing issue. In the podcast, Brueski broached the controversial topic of individuals who target and harass victims of crimes, or their families, insinuating that they played a role in the crime itself. The discussion revolved around Bryan Kohberger, and the victim, Dylan Mortensen, one of the surviving roommates from an unidentified case. The release of a new book about this case has intensified public interest and speculation. Wallinga offered insight into the mindset of those who thrive on propagating conspiracy theories or who rush to cast blame on victims. "We like to feel smart... I saw it first, therefore I'm the smartest," she explained, drawing a parallel to the popular quiz show 'Jeopardy' where only the first person to answer correctly is recognized, even if others knew the answer too. She cited the 2004 Halloween Napa Valley murders of three women as an example, underscoring the pitfalls of baseless speculation. In this case, the perpetrator turned out to be the husband of a close friend of the victims. At the time, conspiracy theories were not as prevalent due to the relative infancy of internet culture. Yet, Wallinga noted that, had the crime occurred in today's hyper-connected age, a flood of online theories and speculations would have emerged, some potentially targeting innocent parties. Drawing another parallel, Wallinga mentioned the horrific Sandy Hook massacre. She pointed out the alarming trend of individuals harassing the grieving parents, spurred on by conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones. "They seem to forget that some of the people they're pointing their finger at, that 99.9 percent of the population views as a victim... are actual human beings who've already been through hell," Wallinga lamented. Wallinga suggests this behavior can be rooted in our need to "feel smart" and our inherent desire to be the first to know or decipher a situation. This drive, when combined with the digital disconnection the internet sometimes fosters, can lead individuals to forget the humanity of those they target. The conversation took an even more personal turn when Wallinga shared her own experiences. As a forensic psychologist who has interacted with several high-profile criminals, she's familiar with the dark allure of crime and the public's insatiable curiosity. She admitted to deliberately keeping her podcasting identity separate from her professional name to avoid potential backlash or harassment. Despite this precaution, Wallinga's core belief remains that everyone — criminal or victim — deserves to be seen as a human first. "I wanted to remember the humanity of these inmates... You're a human being too. And we all know you for the worst thing you ever did," she stated. Towards the end of their discussion, Brueski and Wallinga touched upon the modern obsession with "murder tourism" and the depersonalization of victims, pointing out the disturbing trend of individuals seeking fame or notoriety from tragedies. Concluding their conversation on a poignant note, Wallinga reiterated the importance of recognizing the humanity in every individual, regardless of the worst actions they might have committed or the tragedies they've endured. In our age of instant information and rapid judgments, the conversation raises an essential question: Are we, as a society, becoming so obsessed with being "right" that we're losing our ability to empathize with those who've experienced the worst life has to offer?

In the most recent episode of "Hidden Killers", podcast host Tony Brueski delved into the controversial and perplexing case of Brian Kohberger, alongside Forensic Psychologist Kate Wallinga. Their discourse revolved around the veracity of Kohberger's alibi and how its evolution seems more perplexing than convincing. Brueski opened the discussion with a tone of bemusement, pointing out the seemingly desperate strategy of Kohberger's defense. "Just throwing randomness into the air is what it feels like. Lately, things that are not based on any sort of fact – claims that are not based in reality, really is what we're talking about here." He emphasized the audacity of the alibi, remarking on the defendant's claim, "Hey, I like to drive at night." A claim made in the face of evidence placing him at the crime scene. Kate Wallinga chimed in with her perspective on the defendant's mindset. "I think he's probably thinking that well, they can't prove a negative. You know, they can't prove I wasn't doing something… but he's starting to sound like a clown by this point." Wallinga's insight into the psyche of Kohberger portrayed a man with inflated confidence in his intelligence, a trait she found all too common in many inmates. The conversation took another intriguing turn when Brueski posed a critical question about Kohberger's attorney, Ann Taylor. He wondered aloud about the source of the defense's seemingly erratic strategy, asking, "What I'm wondering is the attorney, Ann Taylor... How many of these statements do you think are coming from her direction and expertise versus it's the client?" Wallinga, drawing from her familiarity with defense attorneys, posited that Taylor would likely prefer silence at this juncture. "Because anything that she says, whether it's in a deposition or whether it's at a press conference, that becomes fodder for the actual trial," Wallinga pointed out. She highlighted the dangers of being locked into a story before a trial, an angle that could potentially be exploited by the prosecution. Wallinga's conjecture paints Kohberger as a forceful figure, perhaps directing his lawyer's hand. "He strikes me as the type to say, well, if you don't do it, I'll find somebody else who will. You know, I'll write a letter to the news media, or I'll make a phone call." Wallinga said. Adding another layer, she also touched upon Kohberger's study of criminology, emphasizing how it diverges greatly from forensic psychology and law, and how he might be grappling with this realization. Brueski, taking the speculation further, contemplated whether Taylor was being manipulated to some extent by Kohberger. He queried, "Is she being held hostage to a certain extent… She's just kind of like, okay you hang yourself if you want." He considered the possibility of an overarching strategy aimed at the cell phone data, seeking to introduce reasonable doubt by poking holes in its accuracy. He noted the paradoxical nature of the alibi, one that simultaneously sounds "ridiculous" but also potentially weakens the cell phone evidence. Echoing Brueski's sentiments, Wallinga suggested that the defense might be strategically attempting to cut down on the trial's length. She detailed the tedious nature of cell phone data, explaining, "Those of us who watch Dateline or forensics files, we're like, oh yeah. Cell phone tower data, no big deal. But the reality is, in a courtroom, you have to comb through it and be very precise." In closing, Wallinga summarized the situation aptly: "He's a smart guy who sounds stupid." She alluded to the common fallacy where individuals, although experts in one area, fail to recognize the complexities and nuances of another. As the Brian Kohberger case unfolds, the podcast discussion highlighted the fascinating interplay between law, psychology, and strategy and how even the most seemingly 'ridiculous' claims can have profound implications in the courtroom.

Get ready for a raw and thought-provoking conversation as we dive deep into the complexities of human relationships, personal struggles, and finding strength in the face of adversity. So, grab your headphones and get ready for Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space for Controversy. Kate Wallinga is the host of Ignorance Was Bliss podcast. This is a podcast about how we become who we are — about making just about anything sound normal, from PTSD to podcasting to serial murder. It's about people's stories. Are you sure you really want to know? Kate spent her entire professional life in the fields of mental health and criminal justice. Her favorite, hardest and most important work was specifically in the fields of correctional psych, forensic psych, and crisis assessment. She grew up in upstate New York, and went to college near the Canadian border; her first psych internship was actually immediately next to the bridge between Ogdensburg, NY and Johnstown, ON. After that, she studied criminal justice and mental health counseling in Boston, then spent several years in New Hampshire. She's worked in the NH State Prison system, a couple of different locked psychiatric facilities, and then several emergency rooms and eventually all manner of community settings. Kate broke her back in 2014, and while she can move around a whole lot better than she could then, she still often feels stuck, as an acquaintance once pointed out, sitting on her couch listening to true crime podcasts all day. One thing I've noticed is that, quite often, she would hear someone ask, “But why would he do that?” or, “How could that happen?” or, her personal favorite, “Well, that's crazy. That could never happen to me.” After a while of talking back, alone, long after they had moved on to new things, she decided to give the podcasting thing a try. She does give some background, of course, but she's not trying to create a deep-dive, detailed, narrative style podcast. That has already been done, brilliantly, by so many people she admires. She can't see any reason to try and compete with them, or even just add to the noise, when she already cannot find enough hours in the day to listen to everything she'd like to hear. Her goal, instead, is to try and answer some of those questions, at least from her own perspective. She doesn't pretend to have all, or even most, of the answers… but she can usually come up with one or two. Over time, the focus of her show has widened to include the normal, the average, the ordinary, that all of us can understand… but we continue to think of ourselves as somehow screwed up, weird, wrong. We're not. You're not. Honest. Just make sure you really want to know. Because the most important certainty I carry, from all my time working with inmates and patients and onlookers, is that the only real difference between “us” and “them” is a key. And that everything we experience, from crippling anxiety to serial murder, is maybe not rational, but there is a logic to it. Kate can make things understandable. And once you learn just how easy it can be to fall into the darker parts of life, you might think,”…I felt better before I knew that.” Because sometimes… Ignorance Was Bliss.

In a recent episode of the popular podcast "Hidden Killers", host Tony Brueski sat down with forensic psychologist Kate Wallinga to discuss the chilling case of Zuberi. Known for his makeshift cell in his garage where a victim had previously managed to escape, leading to the police's discovery of his hideous secret, Zuberi's criminal tendencies have sent shockwaves throughout the community and country. Wallinga began the discussion with a comparison to another notorious criminal, David Parker Ray, also known for his sinister captivity of women. Unlike Zuberi's rather simplistic two-point plan, Ray had extensively documented his dark fantasies. Wallinga jestingly remarked, "You're trying to be a killer," highlighting Zuberi's underdeveloped plans, suggesting perhaps an impulse-driven, amateur nature in comparison to Ray. The narrative shifted as Wallinga shed light on Zuberi's abysmal impulse control, highlighted by an instance where he drove a woman seven hours only to be overwhelmed by his urges, leading to an early assault. Her analysis further revealed the dichotomy between high-functioning individuals in society, ones who lead seemingly normal lives with family and work, and those with notorious reputations. Zuberi's notorious nature was such that many refused to speak about him without the promise of anonymity, signifying the terror he instilled in the hearts of those around him. A particularly poignant moment was Wallinga's call for the public to act on suspicions of such individuals, especially when children are involved, saying, "It's not your job to be sure, it's your job to have an investigator investigate." Zuberi's erratic behavior, paired with the community's knowledge of him being a "loose cannon", underscores the importance of vigilant citizens and a responsive legal system. Brueski then delved into the challenges of convicting Zuberi for his heinous crimes due to the existing fear factor and the potential lack of solid evidence to keep him incarcerated for a significant time. In an alarming revelation, it emerged that some neighbors, fearing retribution from Zuberi, were already considering moving. This signifies the urgency and seriousness with which his case needs to be handled. Adding to Zuberi's perplexing personality, the discussion also touched upon his grandiose tendencies. His appearance on the TV show, 'Judge Judy', not as a convict but as a participant, raised eyebrows. "He seems rather grandiose in many ways," observed Wallinga, pointing out his choice to build the cell himself and the pretense of being a police officer to lure his victims. This desire for attention, combined with his criminal behavior, paints a vivid picture of his twisted psyche. A notable part of the discussion revolved around the distinction between clinical and legal insanity. Wallinga emphasized that while many may deem Zuberi's actions as "insane," it does not necessarily render him "legally insane," a term with a much narrower definition in the court of law. The gripping conversation on "Hidden Killers" once again highlighted the imperative need for public awareness, the importance of an efficient judicial system, and the understanding of mental health in context. With criminals like Zuberi lurking in the shadows, society must be prepared and proactive in ensuring the safety of all its members. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Unresolved for over three decades, the 1996 murder of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur remains a baffling case. Many attribute the lack of progression in the investigation to the pervasive 'no-snitching' culture. As forensic psychologist Kate Wallinga discussed recently on the "Hidden Killers" podcast with Tony Brueski, this culture of silence significantly hampered the investigative process, hiding potential leads and possible witnesses under a veil of fear, loyalty, and distrust. "Mistrust in law enforcement in many marginalized communities seems to be one of the bigger reasons why this case has not been solved," Brueski notes. For individuals within these communities, often the thought of possible retaliation or even the potential of being implicated in the crime themselves can dissuade them from sharing information. "There's a certain attitude of, look, there are no words I can say that are gonna bring him back, but there are words I can say that are gonna get me killed," Wallinga says. Unraveling the culture of silence is no easy task. It's a deep-seated issue often fueled by strained relationships between communities and law enforcement, and it continues to hinder the course of justice in many cases, as it did in the investigation into Shakur's murder. Notably, the people who were closest to the crime and who likely harbored valuable information, including members of Shakur's entourage, succumbed to this culture. Their self-imposed silence further crippled the investigation and ultimately kept crucial details out of the hands of the investigators. The suspicion over who killed Tupac has lingered for years, with Orlando Anderson's name repeatedly surfacing. Anderson was also involved in the infamous brawl with Tupac hours before the shooting. Despite the widespread belief of his involvement and a slew of interviews pointing in his direction, the 'no-snitching' culture has managed to keep the investigation at a standstill. Recent developments in the case have seen a search warrant executed on the house of Duane 'Keefe D' Davis, Anderson's uncle. According to Wallinga, this move might be as much about sending a public message as it is about finding new evidence. "The reality is we all know about it now, don't we? It's become public knowledge, and that puts some serious pressure on a lot of people to speak up, not just he whose house was raided, but anybody related to the case," Wallinga says. The question of why this raid has occurred now, decades after the murder, remains. Wallinga speculates it could be politically motivated, coinciding with election season and signaling a tough-on-crime stance. She suggests that "political climate creates this soothing, well, look, we're tough on crime. Sure. Kind of attitude."Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski and guest forensic psychologist Kate Wallinga delve into the ongoing case against Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of the heinous murder of four University of Idaho students in 2022. They discuss the defense's latest allegations of planted DNA evidence and the failure of Kohberger to provide an alibi as demanded by the court. Wallinga commented, "Clearly they are throwing spaghetti at the wall. Let's make anything, and that's the defense's job. Sure. The defense's job is to make sure that the police followed procedure to the letter." Commenting on the defense's strategy, Wallinga pointed out the approach seems to question everything, no matter how far-fetched the claim might appear. She equated Kohberger's silence on the alibi to his decision to prolong a game he thinks he can win. In response to the question on what it means for Kohberger not to produce an alibi, Wallinga unequivocally stated, "He doesn't have one." She emphasized that for someone willing to stab four people to death, lying about an alibi is insignificant. She stated, "if you're willing to do that, then lying about an alibi is nothing. It's no big." Drawing parallels with the case of Peter Porco and his wife, Wallinga highlighted the potential for false alibis and pointed out that if Kohberger had an alibi, he would have presented it by now. However, so far, there is no evidence supporting his claim of innocence. She also pointed out the significant fact that despite Kohberger's repeated claims about looking forward to exoneration, no evidence has been presented that supports his innocence. Wallinga commented, "I'm fascinated by the fact that with all of the press conferences and so on, all of the motions in court, they're not letting him speak." She further speculates that his silence is intentional, suggesting his words might be off-putting and unempathetic, which would not serve his defense well. Brueski and Wallinga's discussion offers listeners a deep dive into the intricacies of Kohberger's defense strategy, exploring the machinations behind the accusations of planted evidence, and the conspicuous lack of an alibi. It paints a picture of a complex and high-stakes legal battle where the truth continues to be elusive, and the game, as Wallinga suggests, is far from over.

In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski and guest forensic psychologist Kate Wallinga delve into the ongoing case against Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of the heinous murder of four University of Idaho students in 2022. They discuss the defense's latest allegations of planted DNA evidence and the failure of Kohberger to provide an alibi as demanded by the court. Wallinga commented, "Clearly they are throwing spaghetti at the wall. Let's make anything, and that's the defense's job. Sure. The defense's job is to make sure that the police followed procedure to the letter." Commenting on the defense's strategy, Wallinga pointed out the approach seems to question everything, no matter how far-fetched the claim might appear. She equated Kohberger's silence on the alibi to his decision to prolong a game he thinks he can win. In response to the question on what it means for Kohberger not to produce an alibi, Wallinga unequivocally stated, "He doesn't have one."

Forensic psychologist Kate Wallinga joined Tony Brueski on the "Hidden Killers" podcast to discuss the upcoming sentencing of Lori Vallow Daybell, a woman found guilty of crimes against her children. They tackled the intersection of religion, law, and mental health and questioned whether Vallow Daybell's religious beliefs, which seemed to influence her actions, would be considered during her sentencing. Wallinga explains that under usual circumstances, strong religious beliefs should incline one towards good rather than evil. However, in Vallow Daybell's case, she believes this approach might make matters worse. Wallinga states, "If you're coming from a platform of having these serious religious beliefs, theoretically, that should make you less likely to do things like kill children." Despite the gruesome nature of Vallow Daybell's actions, Wallinga remains skeptical about the effectiveness of a lengthy prison sentence. She expresses her concerns about the U.S. prison industrial complex, currently the largest provider of mental health services in the country. She notes that people often halt neurodevelopment once they are incarcerated, resulting in a persistent survival mode. Upon release, these individuals may have aged chronologically, but their development as a person often remains stagnant, mirroring their state of mind when first entering prison. This reality presents an ethical conundrum when considering how society should deal with people like Vallow Daybell. Wallinga believes that while such individuals should not be released back into the community due to the danger they pose, the current system does little to address the core issues at hand. She suggests a shift from a punitive system to a correctional rehabilitative one. She states, "We've proven that we cannot punish the bad behavior out of people. So there's gotta be another approach and instead, we just keep building more prisons." The conversation takes a turn toward the influence of religious beliefs on parenting and the welfare of children. Brueski questions whether this case should trigger stricter regulations on how religious beliefs can influence parenting. Wallinga agrees that while everyone has the right to worship in their own way, there should be limits to how children are treated under the umbrella of religious beliefs. She concludes, "Children fall in a protective class, so there is no excuse, religion, mental illness, substance abuse. There's no excuse for a child to exist in a harmful environment." As the discussion wraps up, Wallinga and Brueski agree on the necessity for change in how society and the legal system address cases like Vallow Daybell's. They recognize the complex intersection of religious freedom, mental health, and the safety and well-being of children, concluding that while change is necessary, its implementation remains uncertain.

On the latest episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski and forensic psychologist Kate Wallinga delve deeper into the mind and environment of alleged Long Island serial killer, Rex Heuermann, providing a perspective that humanizes the individuals inadvertently trapped in the life of a supposed murderer. Wallinga suggests that while it's easy to assume that Heuermann's family was abused or manipulated, it's crucial to distinguish between abuse and family culture. Drawing on her personal experiences, she shares that issues or problems within a family may remain unspoken for generations, creating a culture of silence that can prevent family members from recognizing troubling signs in the case of Heuermann, his wife's swift decision to file for divorce after his arrest suggests a similar family culture, where unusual behaviors were overlooked or normalized. The topic of family culture is particularly resonant for Wallinga, who reveals that she severed ties with her clinically narcissistic mother only after she reached the age of 40. The toxicity in their relationship was normalized to the point where it was considered just "her being her." As such, the seemingly 'normal' behavior within families can often hide damaging actions or attitudes, further complicating the detection of potential criminal behaviors. Speaking of the overall case, Wallinga shared her insights into why the murders remained unsolved for so long. She believes that the sex work aspect of the victims played a significant role in the delayed resolution. Moreover, the challenges in obtaining timely DNA results, especially in the past, contributed to the extended investigation period. This delay, coupled with the alleged killer's choice of victims less likely to attract immediate attention, helped maintain his anonymity for a prolonged period. When discussing potential systematic failures, Wallinga acknowledges the possibility of other victims in different states based on Heuermann's travel history and potential mimicry of infamous serial killer Israel Keyes's approach. Keyes was known for his strategy of continuously changing his methods and targeting victims that would not draw much attention. By exploring the intricate dynamics within Rex Heuermann's family and the broader systematic issues at play, Brueski and Wallinga's discussion highlights the complex layers behind a serial killer case. The podcast reminds listeners of the pervasive blindness within families and communities and underscores the importance of vigilance in spotting the abnormal within what seems to be 'normal.' Their discussion reminds us that understanding and acknowledging these hidden killers is the first step in ensuring justice for the victims and their families.

In the latest episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Bruski, alongside forensic psychologist Kate Wallinga, delves into the chilling details of Rex Heuermann's property. Heuermann, suspected to be the Gilgo Beach killer, has been the focus of an ongoing investigation concerning several serial killings in Long Island. According to Wallinga, the contrast between Heuermann's professional life as an architect and the state of his home is striking. His home is in severe disrepair, starkly contrasting the aesthetic considerations you'd expect from an architect. This suggests a level of disregard for his personal environment. While this could be due to financial constraints, Wallinga posits that Heuermann might have avoided home repairs to deter contractors from potentially discovering his secrets. Bruski and Wallinga also discuss the disturbing findings at Heuermann's home, which hint at a concealed, sinister side. One such discovery is a soundproof room with unusually thick concrete walls. While it could be dismissed as a unique architectural feature, its presence raises questions about its intended use. The ongoing investigation has also revealed unusual findings in Heuermann's backyard, including unearthing small fragments that could be human remains. The presence of a pit has fueled speculation about it serving as a clandestine grave. Forensic psychologist Wallinga comments on Heuermann's ability to hide his suspected criminal activities from those closest to him: "The human capacity for weirdness is pretty big," she says, adding that we typically don't jump to worst-case scenarios when we notice odd behavior in our neighbors. She highlights how the slow accumulation of oddities, coupled with plausible explanations, could have enabled Heuermann to evade suspicion for so long. Both Bruski and Wallinga agree that Heuermann's alleged crimes align with times when his wife was out of town, suggesting that he may have used these opportunities to act on his sinister impulses. "It becomes pretty easy to say, 'Oh yeah, no, I just moved some stuff because you were out of town,'" Wallinga explains, illustrating how easily suspicious activities could be dismissed. Despite Heuermann's arrest and the mounting evidence, there is still a lot to uncover about the suspected serial killer. The investigation at Heuermann's home is expected to yield more chilling revelations, illuminating the depths of the hidden darkness in his life. As the Hidden Killers podcast continues to track this case, listeners can expect further insight into the mind and methods of an alleged killer hiding in plain sight.

Loni Kai was a vibrant, friendly, well-liked young woman. She has also graced the 5 of Hearts in a cold case deck of cards. Loni was born Lorenzo Okoruru in the Mariana islands, but by 2001 she was living in the Hillsboro/Aloha area of Oregon with some of her extended family that lovingly supported her whole heartedly. This one hits close to home, quite literally. On August 26th as she tried to make her way home in the early morning hours after a fun night out on the town the unthinkable would happen. Across the country, tragedy would strike again just a few days later and though she's not been forgotten by those that loved her, Loni's case made very little progress. All these years later Loni's family still have no answers and have yet to see justice done for the heinous crime.
