In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles Donnie and Dale discuss the horrific serial killer Kenneth Allen McDuff. McDuff killed three high school students the night of August 6th, 1966, repeatedly raping and sexually torturing one of them first. He'd be sent to death row for those crimes. But then, he'd have his sentence reduced to life in prison. And then, he'd get released on parole at the age of 43 and start killing again within 72 hours of leaving prison. Find out what legal changes made his release possible, and how his case drastically changed Texas's criminal justice system once he was caught and put back on death row. https://www.crackhousechronicles.com/ https://linktr.ee/crackhousechronicles https://www.tiktok.com/@crackhousechronicles https://www.facebook.com/crackhousechronicles Check out our MERCH! https://www.teepublic.com/user/crackhousechronicles SOURCES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_McDuff https://txtruecrimeblog.squarespace.com/blog-archive/kenneth-mcduff https://www.texasmonthly.com/true-crime/free-to-kill-2/
This episode was recorded, at a celebration event, in front of a live sold out audience.Kenneth McDuff, a notorious serial killer from Texas, was initially sentenced to death for a triple murder in 1966 but was eventually allowed to walk free on parole in 1989 due to prison overcrowding. His release led to a new spree of violent crimes, including multiple abductions and murders, before he was finally recaptured in 1992 after a nationwide manhunt. McDuff's case exposed significant flaws in the parole system, prompting widespread reforms to prevent similar tragedies in the future.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube for video podcast:https://www.youtube.com/@WickedandGrimYoutube for lifestyle and vlogs: https://www.youtube.com/@WickedLifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/Wicked and Grim is an independent podcast produced by Media Forge Studios, and releases a new episode here every Tuesday and Friday.

Kenneth McDuff terrorized the small town of Rosebud, Texas, with his reckless, bad boy antics. He cleverly avoided punishment at every turn which gave him the confidence to offend and escalate again and again.

This episode marks a somber milestone. The 25th anniversary of the execution of Kenneth Allen McDuff – a name that chills the soul of the men and women in law enforcement who hunted him down – and the families of his victims. McDuff, infamously dubbed the 'Broomstick Killer,' was a figure of unparalleled brutality. His story isn't just a tale of sadistic crimes. It's a saga that shook the very foundations of the Texas criminal justice system. Kenneth Allen McDuff being escorted into the Texas Death House. McDuff, was believed to be the only condemned inmate in the nation ever paroled and then returned to death row for another murder. He went to death row in 1968 for killing two teenage boys, was paroled after the death penalty was overturned, and returned to death row in 1991 for killing two women. 11/17/1998 He was released on parole in the late 1980s under a cloud of corruption. McDuff, within a day of his release, unleashed a reign of terror – abducting, raping, and murdering countless women, his actions embodying the darkest impulses of humanity. My original reporting on this case exposed not just a man's evil but a system's failures. It led to a sweeping overhaul of the parole and prison systems in Texas, revealing a disturbing scheme of parole selling that shook public trust to its core. As I delve into this grim chapter, I do so with a purpose. We seek to understand, to remember the victims, and to reflect on the lessons learned. The echoes of McDuff's crimes still reverberate, reminding us of the vigilance needed to safeguard justice and integrity within our system.

Kenneth Allen McDuff został skazany na śmierć za trzykrotne morderstwo. Został wypuszczony na wolność i po 3 dniach zabił ponownie. To porażka teksańskiego wymiaru sprawiedliwości, która zaowocowała śmiałymi reformami więziennictwa, ale też przynajmniej sześcioma kolejnymi morderstwami.______
The True Crime Reporter® Podcast features stories and interviews from the respective careers of investigative reporter Robert Riggs and former U.S. prosecutor Bill Johnston. Listeners have asked how both of them got involved in investigating criminal cases. In response, the podcast featured an episode with Riggs on July 4, 2022, explaining how he first got involved in digging for information during the Watergate scandal case while working for Congressman Wright Patman. In this episode, we cover the highlights of Bill Johnston's distinguished law career. Bill devoted his career as a federal prosecutor to, in effect, protect the sheep from the wolves. He helped launch the manhunt for notorious serial killer Kenneth Allen McDuff, who tortured and murdered countless young women. His role in bringing McDuff to justice and prosecuting the Texas Parole Board Chairman official who released McDuff under a cloud of corruption is featured in the Fox Nation documentary Freed To Kill. Johnston became the cohost of the True Crime Reporter® podcast with Peabody Award-winning investigative reporter Robert Riggs in 2021. Johnston had a guilty verdict returned in every federal prosecution in hundreds of jury trials that he undertook during his 14-year career with the U.S. Department of Justice. A noteworthy criminal case includes the Branch Davidian cult members who murdered four ATF agents during a raid on their heavily armed compound outside Waco. The Texas Rangers, rather than FBI agents, were Johnston's go-to investigators for complex murder cases. He managed a team of Rangers to investigate the crime scene at the Davidian compound after the end of the controversial inferno. Johnston successfully prosecuted a mail bomber, which was the first case tried under the U.S. Violence Against Women Act. Other firsts include the first jury trial in the United States in which mitochondrial DNA (hair without root) was used in evidence against a violent “car-jacking” defendant who caused the death of an elderly man in Texas. He received a mandatory life sentence without parole.

Los antecedentes penales de Kenneth Allen McDuff comenzaron dos años antes de su primera condena por asesinato. En 1964, a los 18 años, fue condenado por 12 cargos de robo e intento de robo en tres condados de Texas: Bell, Milam y Falls. Fue condenado a 12 penas de prisión de cuatro años que se cumplirían simultáneamente; sin embargo, obtuvo la libertad condicional en diciembre de 1965.McDuff regresó brevemente a prisión después de involucrarse en una pelea, pero pronto fue liberado. Si bien no había sido condenado por ningún asesinato en ese momento, su cómplice en un triple asesinato de 1966, Roy Dale Green, dijo que McDuff se jactó abiertamente de sus antecedentes penales y afirmó haber violado y asesinado a dos mujeres jóvenes en los años sesenta. Un sujeto a todas luces despiadado y sin escrúpulos.Allen McDuff fue el quinto de seis hijos de John Allen y Addie McDuff. Su padre dirigió un exitoso negocio de concreto durante el auge de la construcción en Texas en la década de 1960. En apariencia, Kenneth tenía todas las comodidades y lujos para llevar una vida holgada y sin preocupaciones, pero en su interior, su deseo de matar y torturar, era insaciable.
In January 1990, 19-year-old Ashley Reed was new to Dallas, Texas, having moved there only months before with her mom and young brother. Making new friends wasn't difficult for Ashley, but it was winter and the process going a little slower than it would in summertime, perhaps. On the 13th, she was thrilled when she called her mother to tell her a man had asked her on a date. The man's name was Robert, and he was a cowboy type. Robert was tall and handsome to boot. He was also the last person to see Ashley Reed, who disappeared that night, never having called her mother to check in as promised. When the body of a Waco woman was found in a Southeast Dallas County Gravel pit 2 years later, many began theorizing a serial killer was responsible for Ashley's disappearance.

In this episode, Robert Riggs, Executive Producer of Freed To Kill (Fox Nation TV Series) and the True Crime Reporter™ podcast, shares the story of one of the worst serial killers in US history; Kenneth Allen McDuff.McDuff, a Texas native, was sentenced to death in 1966 for the brutal murder of three teens in Tarrant County. However, he was released from prison in 1989 and continued his brutal killing spree across Texas. But that's not all. The search for McDuff exposed corruption and incompetence throughout the parole system in Texas, resulting in dramatic reforms. And Robert Riggs brings this all together in a compelling story that is now a 5-part TV series on Fox Nation - Freed To Kill.Robert Riggs is a prolific storyteller in the spirit of fellow Texan Taylor Sheridan the creator of Yellowstone and 1883. Robert's Webby Award winning podcast was the inspiration for the 5-part TV series where he serves as the host of the show and Executive Producer.To learn more about Robert Riggs and True Crime Reporter Podcast visit https://www.truecrimereporter.com/To watch the trailer visit https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClzhan7ElkuZlM-1LCnr5Yw
In this “Best Of True Crime Reporter®”, we take you back to the first episode in our series about serial killer Kenneth Allen McDuff. It was a Webby Award Honoree for Best True Crime Podcast in 2021. McDuff is the only criminal in Texas history to have received three death sentences. Serial Killer Kenneth Allen McDuff is being escorted to a holding cell in the Texas Death Chamber. McDuff was believed to be the only condemned inmate in the nation ever paroled and then returned to death row for two more murders. He was sentenced to die in the electric chair in 1966 for killing Robert Brand, one of three teenagers he was charged with randomly killing. But McDuff was later paroled after the death penalty was overturned. He was sentenced in two different cases to die by lethal injection for the murders of Melissa Northrup and Colleen Reed. McDuff was executed shortly after this photograph was taken on November 17, 1998. Yet he got out of prison under a cloud of corruption after murdering three teenagers. An FBI profiler, the late Roy Hazelwood, described McDuff to me as the Great White Shark of serial killers. Yet most people have never heard of McDuff.

Kenneth Allen McDuff, bo tak naprawdę się nazywał, nie dorastał w zwyczajnej rodzinie. Jego matka miała bardzo agresywne podejście do rozwiązywania konfliktów, które znalazło potem odbicie w czynach syna. Od liceum znęcanie i poniżanie ludzi sprawiały mu przyjemność. Pewnego sierpniowego wieczoru zapragnął, jednak czegoś więcej. Nie tylko zgwałcił swoją ofiarę, ale udusił ją kijem od miotły...
The notorious & terrifying serial killer Kenneth Allen McDuff has the dubious distinction of two things: having TWO death row numbers AND being this podcast's only episode ever to feature just one murderer.

Does Becky & Merie's friendship hang in the balance over the brilliant and hilarious TV show Ted Lasso? Is Merie actually Becky's weird email blog stalker? (You can subscribe with a real email address here!) Do YOU remember the last time you prowled around asking people to have sex with you? Neither does Becky. It's been a while. Does Merie FINALLY drop an F-bomb in this episode?! Who is the one serial killer Merie & Becky REALLY don't like? (As opposed to the ones they…DO like?!!) Whose new email address is BeckyisaHeightSupremacist@@gmail.com? How often did Becky or Merie stop going to their final exams and start murdering instead? Please subscribe to Texas Monthly.

Kenneth Allen McDuff led a charmed life. He was an angelic child. At least, that's what his doting mother thought. But in reality, Kenneth concealed a sadistic desire to hurt people, and his first murders left his hometown shaken. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Kenneth Allen McDuff was a serial killer in Texas. He is the only person that Texas sent to death row more than once for different crimes.

Kenneth Allen McDuff ranks among the most heartless and sadistic serial killers in American history. But what is it that creates the McDuff's and Ted Bundy's of this world? I received an invaluable understanding from two former FBI profilers who were among the original founders of the Behavioral Science Unit based at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. I met profilers John Douglas and Roy Hazelwood after they had retired from the bureau. At that time they were not widely known outside of law enforcement circles. Today the Netflix crime drama, Mindhunter is loosely based on John Douglas's role in pioneering profiling at the FBI. His fellow profiler Royal Hazelwood became the world's leading expert on the strangest, most dangerous of all aberrant offenders, the sexual criminal. Hazelwood is now deceased. He coauthored landmark books about the minds of sexual predators with Stephen Michaud. Michaud is a friend and fellow investigative reporter who used to be based here in Dallas. Stephen Michaud is the expert on Ted Bundy. He tape-recorded 150 hours of audio with the serial killer when Bundy was imprisoned in a Florida State Prison. In 1983, Michaud and another giant of investigative reporting, Hugh Aynesworth wrote the book, The Only Living Witness; The True Story of Serial Killer Ted Bundy. In 2019, NetFlix premiered a four-episode docuseries based on Michaud's tapes titled Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes. Michaud and I discuss what goes on inside the minds of serial killers. Please Share This Link With Your Friends To Subscribe.

A short story about the serial killer from Rosebud Texas, Kenneth Allen McDuff.
Kenneth Allen McDuff is being escorted into the Death House. McDuff was believed to be the only condemned inmate in the nation ever paroled and then returned to death row for another murder. He went to death row in 1968 for killing two teenage boys, was paroled after the death penalty was overturned, and returned to death row in 1991 for killing two women. 11/17/1998 Serial Killer Kenneth McDuff matter-of-factly described the last moments of his victims' lives as "using them up" to his accomplices in murder. Afterward, he would dispose of the young women's bodies in unmarked burial sites at remote locations. With time ticking down toward his execution, author Gary Lavergne met with McDuff on Texas Death Row to try to find out where the serial killer buried countless bodies. His victim's families just wanted to give their loved ones a proper funeral.

A violent crime wave swept across Texas in the late 1980s and early 1990s. You could pick up the newspaper any day or turn on the television anywhere, Houston, Dallas, particularly Houston, and the lead story was a stranger on stranger crime, horrific violence. A Houston mother was pulled out of her car by her hair women at a busy intersection by ex-cons looking for a full tank of gas. They executed her and ran over her body as they drove away in her car with a full tank of gas. Stories like this always start and end with, “The killers were out on parole.” Little did the public or members of the Texas Legislature know, but the Texas Governor had secretly swung open the doors to relieve prison overcrowding. Thousands of violent criminals, including former death row inmates, flooded back into Texas communities. In their wake, murder and mayhem spread like a plague across Texas. Among the inmates released was Kenneth Allen McDuff, a sadistic sexual serial killer known as the “Broom Stick Killer." McDuff had been sentenced to die in Texas' electric chair for the brutal murder of three teenagers in a farming community outside Fort Worth. Women's bodies started showing up a few days after McDuff walked out of prison on parole in 1989. This is the story of the dedicated law enforcement officers who worked tirelessly to stop McDuff's killing spree and to bring him to justice. It is the story of how Peabody Award-winning investigative reporter Robert Riggs uncovered widespread corruption in the Texas Parole and Prison systems that led to the wholesale release of thousands of violent criminals.

Hello and welcome… to EPISODE 52 and part 3 of WHO KILLED the Yogurt Shop 4?Thank you to this week's sponsor, Podcorn. They make connecting podcasters with advertisers a breeze. Click HERE for more details on the packages they offer.PURCHASE WHO KILLED THESE GIRLS? BY BEVERLY LOWRYHelp Support Independent Journalism HereI am your host Bill Huffman and on this week’s show, I will begin the arduous task of covering an infamous case out of Austin, Texas, the yogurt shop murders.This case has been covered by the likes of 48 hours, ID Channel, Inside Edition and a plethora of podcasts.The reason I wanted to take a look at this case is I just finished Beverly Lowry’s book, Who Killed these girls? and it reinvigorated my interest in the case. I will do my best to do it justice and next week I may even have a special guest to discuss the case.Let’s get this week’s episode rolling, Who Killed the Yogurt Shop 4?December 6, 1991, started off like most days in Austin, Texas for Sarah and Jennifer Harbison. They got ready for school, packed their book bags and headed off for the day. It was an overcast day for the city, with temperatures maxing out around 72; a cool Texas Friday. Austin, Texas in 1991 was just coming into its own as a nationally known place where creativity can thrive.Not only is Austin, the capital of Texas, but it also holds the title of Live Music Capital of the World.In 1994, the city created the Austin Film Festival and filmmakers and actors such as Mike Judge, Richard Linklater, and Matthew McConaughey call Austin home.In 2002, Austin City Limits was founded and became one of the premier live events in the U-S drawing groups from all over the world to perform.Sarah would be working that’s night shift so her plans were already set. She would be working with Eliza Thomas, another classmate at Lanier high school. For Sarah and Eliza their shift was going to be just like any other Friday night they worked together at the I Can’t Believe it’s Not Yogurt shop. And the shift started exactly that way. This was 1992 and the frozen yogurt fad was still in full swing; with lines at most times. The chain the girls worked for had hundreds of stores in multiple states. Amy Ayers, a friend of the girls, and Jennifer Harbison, Sarah’s little sister came up to the shop to hang out. A normal routine for any teenager who has friends working by themselves. Their place of employment can become an ideal new hangout spot... We’ve all been there. The Statesman put together a timeline of this case and how it unfolded: Reading verbatim from the timeline: Dec. 6, 1991: Austin firefighters respond to a blaze at I Can't Believe It's Yogurt! at 2949 W. Anderson Lane just before midnight. After the fire is extinguished, a search reveals the bodies of Jennifer Harbison, 17; her 15-year-old sister, Sarah; Eliza Thomas, 17; and Amy Ayers, 13. Dec. 8, 1991: Travis County Medical Examiner Robert Bayardo releases autopsy reports stating each of the four girls had been shot in the head. Police say they have no suspects. Dec. 9, 1991: Police discover evidence that they say leads them to believe more than one person was involved in the killings. Dec. 10, 1991: About 1,500 people attend the victims' funeral Mass at St. Louis Catholic Church. Dec. 12, 1991: Travis County District Judge Jon Wisser seals autopsy reports on the victims at the request of the Travis County district attorney's office. Dec. 17, 1991: Police release possible psychological profiles of the killers. Dec. 31, 1991: The victims' parents plead for additional help from the community during a news conference. Gov. Ann Richards releases a written statement asking for community assistance. Jan. 3, 1992: The Austin Police Department, along with local, county and federal authorities, form a task force to solve the case. Jan. 6, 1992 Police release additional information about the possible murderers. Twelve billboards display images of the slain teenagers. Feb. 26, 1992: Police arrest Laura Green on suspicion of stealing four tombstones. She is charged with theft by appropriation and questioned in the yogurt slayings. Her arrest came after intensive interrogation of a group of Austinites labeled by police as PIBs People in Black. Police later say Green is not a suspect in the slayings. Feb. 27, 1992: Local celebrities make a recording of We Will Not Forget, a song written by two local musicians and dedicated to the four slain girls. Proceeds from the song are donated to a fund established to help solve the yogurt case and reduce crime through education and counseling. March 16, 1992: Austin police release a sketch of a man seen parked outside the yogurt shop the night of the slayings. Police say the sketch resembles the sketch of a suspect In a November assault and abduction. March 25, 1992: The CBS news program 48 Hours focuses on the yogurt shop murders. June 3, 1992: The Austin business community adds $75,000 to the existing $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people involved in the murders.June 5, 1992: About 1,200 people march from the Congress Avenue Bridge to the steps of the Capitol carrying white candles in memory of the slain girls. June 6, 1992: Six months after the murders, classmates of the slain girls graduate at Lanier High School, leaving seats for Jennifer Harbison and Eliza Thomas. Aug. 5, 1992: Police begin searching for three men indicted in a November abduction and sexual assault. The three men are Alberto Cortez, Carlos Saabedra and Ricardo Sanchez. The men are wanted for questioning in the yogurt shop murders. Aug. 7, 1992: The television program America's Most Wanted airs a segment on the yogurt shop murders and shows photos of the three men listed in the kidnapping indictment, prompting about 60 tips. Oct 12, 1992: Austin sex crimes investigator Joy Mooney goes to Mexico City to give the Mexican attorney general a deposition about three men charged with abducting an Austin woman. One of the men in the abduction case fits the description of a man seen in a car outside the yogurt shop the night of the murders. Mooney is joined by two Austin homicide investigators, Sgt. Mike Huckabay and Lt. David Parkinson.Oct 16, 1992: The Austin investigators return from Mexico City. An officer says Mexican authorities were cooperative in the search for the three men wanted for questioning Alberto Cortez, 22; Ricardo Hernandez, 26; and Carlos Saavedra, 23.Oct. 22: Mexican federal authorities say that they have arrested two men wanted by Austin police and that one confessed to the murders of the four girls in the yogurt shop. Officials said Porfirio Villa Saavedra, 28, and Alberto Jimenez Cortez, 26, are being held. A third suspect is at large, officials said. On October 23, 1992 the American-Statesman published an article titled “City breathes heavy sigh with arrests in slayings” by Tim Lott and Starita Smith.For some students, the confession by one of the suspects, who said he shot all four girls, made their struggle to understand even more difficult. Samantha Tomaszewski, an 18-year-old who knew Sarah Harbison, burst into tears when she heard about it. "They've hurt hundreds of people," she said. "They don't know how many people they hurt doing this. Either they should be put in jail for 190 years or given the death penalty." Paul Turner, the Lanier principal, said he hopes this is a turning point in the recovery of his school from the tragedy. But Turner, like others, will not let his guard down unless there is a conviction. "I personally would rather there be some kind of closure to it than for us to be left hanging," Turner said. "I don't know whether this will bring closure or not." The family of Colleen Reed, the victim of another unsolved Austin crime, knows what it's like to wait for a resolution. Reed was abducted from a West Fifth Street carwash by two men just three weeks after the yogurt shop murders. Last April, Belton resident Alva Hank Worley said he and a paroled killer, Kenneth Allen McDuff, kidnapped and sexually assaulted Reed. Authorities arrested McDuff in Kansas City, Mo., in early May. McDuff hasn't been charged in the Reed case. Reed has never been found. "I'm ready for some closure," said Reed's sister, Lori Bible. "How much can you accept it when you don't have a body to bury or a grave to go to? That's the part that gets me.”In a big blow to everyone involved, relief was short-lived when the Mexican who was said to have confessed recanted his statement and said his confession came as he was tortured.The investigation never quite went cold but there was a lull in the investigation until August 1999 when police assign six investigators and one sergeant and enlist the help of other agencies to pursue a new lead.Just a few months later on Oct. 6, 1999, Austin police arrest Forrest Welborn, Maurice Pierce, Robert Burns Springsteen IV and Michael Scott on capital murder charges.As quick as things move in Texas, it was only 2 months later on Dec. 9, 1999, when a judge rules that Pierce and Welborn, 16 and 15 at the time of the killings, may be tried as adults.As the train steamrolled towards a conclusion on Dec. 14, 1999, a Travis County grand jury indicted Springsteen on four counts of capital murder. District Attorney Ronnie Earle announces he will seek the death penalty.Four days later on Dec. 18, a grand jury indicts Pierce and Scott on four counts of capital murder. Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty against Scott but cannot against Pierce because he was a juvenile at the time of the crime.As the twists and turns continued it was in June of 2000 when a judge dismisses capital murder charges against Welborn after a second grand jury declines to indict him.The train didn’t stop for Springsteen though because in April 2001 Jury selection begins in the capital murder trial of Springsteen. Prosecutors arrived in court armed with Springsteen’s confession but no physical evidence tying him to the cr
