In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces Telles's rise through Las Vegas politics, the pattern of misconduct that followed him from job to job, and the bombshell exposé that set a disgraced official on a collision course with the reporter who brought him down.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you're new here, don't forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

For years, the four cases went nowhere, plagued by jurisdictional turf wars, false leads, and a string of suspects who turned out to be dead ends, including two men who inserted themselves into the families' grief only to exploit it.

Between 1986 and 1989, four young couples were murdered or vanished along the same 23-mile stretch of road in Virginia known as the Colonial Parkway. A scenic route through the state's Historic Triangle by day, the parkway became a place of terror by night, drawing couples seeking privacy and a killer who seemed to know exactly where to find them. The victims ranged in age from 14 to 27, and the cases shared eerie similarities: abandoned cars, isolated locations, and signs that the attacker may have posed as law enforcement to get close. But the differences left investigators wondering whether they were chasing one serial killer or several. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces the eight young victims, the dark and lonely road that connected their deaths, and the chilling pattern that left an entire region afraid to pull off the highway after dark.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you're new here, don't forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

In rural Missouri, Ray and Faye Copeland looked like any other elderly farming couple, churchgoing, weathered, and unremarkable to the neighbors who waved at them from the road. But behind that ordinary facade was one of the most disturbing operations in American criminal history. The Copelands hired drifters and transient men to help on their farm, used them to write bad checks for cattle, and then murdered them to cover their tracks. By the time investigators uncovered the truth, they had found the bodies of five men buried on and around the property, and Ray and Faye, both in their seventies, became the oldest couple ever sentenced to death in the United States. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the case that shattered every assumption about who is capable of violence, the victims no one came looking for, and the quiet farm where a seemingly harmless old couple hid a killing operation in plain sight.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you're new here, don't forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

By the spring of 1934, the small colony of European settlers on the Galapagos island of Floreana was tearing itself apart. A relentless drought had withered the crops, the self-proclaimed Baroness was abusing her companions, and the tiny island had become a pressure cooker of resentment, jealousy, and fear. Then people started to vanish. The Baroness and one of her lovers disappeared overnight, and the story given by the remaining settlers didn't match what the others claimed to have heard that day. Months later, two more bodies turned up mummified on a barren island they had no business being on, and a strict vegetarian doctor was suddenly dead from a few bites of spoiled chicken. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy is joined by Daisy Eagan, host of Strange and Unexplained, to follow the chain of deaths and disappearances that destroyed the Floreana colony, the wildly conflicting accounts the survivors took to their graves, and one of the strangest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you're new here, don't forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

In 1929, a German doctor named Friedrich Ritter and his partner, Dore Strauch, sailed to the uninhabited island of Floreana in the Galapagos to escape what they believed was the worst of human nature. For two years, they had the place to themselves. Then, drawn by Friedrich's articles in the European press, other settlers began to follow. A practical German family arrived in 1932, then a self-styled Austrian Baroness with two younger lovers, who declared the island her personal kingdom and announced plans for a luxury hotel. Within months, the tiny colony was buckling under jealousy, accusations, and the kind of grudges that have nowhere to go on an island just a few miles wide. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy is joined by Daisy Eagan, host of Strange and Unexplained, to trace the rise of the so-called paradise, the strange settlers who built it, and the slow unraveling that would soon turn the Enchanted Islands into one of the strangest unsolved cases of the 20th century.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you're new here, don't forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

In 1926, 19-year-old Gordon Stewart Northcott convinced his parents to buy him three acres of barren land outside Los Angeles. He told them he was going to raise chickens. What he really wanted was a place far from the city where no one would hear what he did to the boys he brought there. Over the next few years, Northcott lured young victims to the property with the help of his teenage nephew, who he had taken from Canada under the guise of teaching him the family trade. Behind the chicken coops, he built one of the most disturbing crime scenes in California history. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces Northcott's path from a deeply troubled childhood in a household ruled by his mother's obsession and his father's silence to the desolate stretch of desert where his violence would soon spiral out of control.

In the fall of 1982, seven people in the Chicago area died after taking Tylenol capsules that had been laced with cyanide. The victims ranged from a 12-year-old girl to a young mother who had just given birth. None of them knew each other, and none of them had any idea what was in the bottles sitting in their medicine cabinets. The killings triggered a nationwide panic, transformed how every over-the-counter medication is packaged, and gave rise to the term "product tampering" as a federal crime. But more than four decades later, no one has ever been charged with the murders. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy revisits one of the most chilling unsolved cases in American history, the suspects who came and went over the years, and the question that still haunts investigators: who walked into those stores, and why did they choose Tylenol?Head over to our Murder True Crime Stories YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@MurderTrueCrimeStoriesIf you're new here, don't forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

Suspicion landed on Edward's wealthy widow, Frances Hall, and her two brothers, but bringing them to justice would prove far more difficult than anyone expected. What followed was years of dead ends, a tabloid bombshell that forced the case back open, and one of the most sensational trials of the Jazz Age.Head over to our Murder True Crime Stories YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@MurderTrueCrimeStoriesIf you're new here, don't forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!
