True Crime Tuesday presents The People Vs. The Golden State Killer with Attorney/District Attorney of Sacremento/Author, Thien Ho! In The People vs. the Golden State Killer, Thien Ho, the current District Attorney of Sacramento, recounts his harrowing and exhilarating experience as the lead prosecutor responsible for capturing and prosecuting Joseph DeAngelo. Referred to at various times by law enforcement and the media as the Visalia Ransacker, the East Bay Rapist, the Original Nightstalker, and finally the Golden State Killer, DeAngelo, a former policeman, is widely considered “one of the most notorious serial predators in American history.” Ho's book is the first official account of how the Golden State Killer was apprehended and put behind bars for life. Ho led an elite team of law enforcement from six California prosecutor's offices, using a newly developed tool known as “investigative genetic genealogy” to connect DeAngelo to multiple cold cases stretching back nearly a half century. Many previous narratives about DeAngelo, including two bestselling books and multiple documentaries, focused largely on the killer and his heinous crimes. This book not only provides hundreds of facts and details never revealed to the public about the Golden State Killer's crimes, it also presents the real-life story of the people who worked tirelessly to bring DeAngelo to justice. It also offers the unprecedented authorized perspective of three survivors of DeAngelo's crimes who courageously turned their pain into empowerment and activism. A portion of the book's proceeds will be donated both by the author and Third State Books to Phyllis's Garden, a nonprofit advocating for victims' rights begun in honor of a GSK survivor. On Today's True Crime Tuesday, we talk to Thien Ho about how he and his family fled from Vietnam in the early 70's, and how he went from not even knowing English when he came to this country, to wanting to defend his fellow citizens from the worst of the worst!  We talk about how he got the case of Joseph DeAngelo assigned to him, the challenges he had to overcome to get an indictment and then a conviction, and then justice for the victims that, for the first time in his career, he made a PROMISE that he would deliver a guilty verdict to!   PLUS AN ALL-NEW DUMB CRIMES/STUPID CRIMINALS W/TRAVIS THORPE!

Happy Halloween! On this week's special spooky episode, Jeff welcomes Julia back to the show to discuss a few frightningly fun topics, starting with Jeff's review of Disneyland's new Happiest Haunts Tour ("The Villains' Trail"), and we look at the new features for this year and compare it with tours in years past. Then, we discuss Ray Bradbury and his relationship with both Walt Disney and the Disney Company, including a closer look at The Halloween Tree, his book that inspired the Halloween Tree in Frontierland. We also dive into "Something Wicked This Way Comes," Bradbury's cult-ish film produced by Walt Disney Productions in 1983 and we look at its inspiration, the story of its production, its genre (horror? Dark fantasy?), and its place in horror story culture. Finally, we give a quick review of Tron: Ares, while wishing it was doing better at the box office.

The Sallie House In this special Halloween live episode, we traveled to Atchison, Kansas to explore one of America's most infamous haunted houses—the Sallie House. We dive into the dark backstory dating back to 1905, when a desperate mother allegedly brought her six-year-old daughter to Dr. Charles Finney's home for emergency surgery. According to local lore, the doctor began operating on the girl's appendix before the anesthesia took effect, and she died on his operating table from blood loss. While we acknowledge there's no concrete historical evidence this event actually occurred, we explore why this story has persisted and discuss other tragic deaths that took place in and around the property, including a disturbing incident involving the woman next door and her young son. The episode takes a personal turn as we share our own experiences from investigating the house for two hours the day before this live recording. We discuss what happened when our group used the Estes Method and spirit box equipment during our investigation, including multiple people hearing the same disturbing growl, our skeptical friend Parker getting mysteriously scratched, and the eerie responses we received when asking questions about what lurks in the attic and basement. We detail the intense haunting experiences of Tony and Debra Pickman, who lived in the house during the 1990s and endured everything from toys rearranging themselves to violent scratches appearing on Tony's body—even during filmed investigations.

On this episode, Payton and Garrett uncover a brutal Halloween night murder where the only witness claimed the killer was the Big Bad Wolf.

Think back to when you were a kid… if you were anything like me you were a little weirdo… in the best way possible. I absorbed every scrap of paranormal information that I could get my hands on… Books from the library, ghost stories from the old timers I knew… television programs like Unsolved Mysteries, In Search Of and Sightings… and if we were lucky… a TV special of some sort around Halloween time. But outside of that, there really wasn't much of an outlet for this sort of thing, especially for younger kids attracted to the field.  Well here at Monsters Among Us, we wanted to help bring that magic to a new generation. And tonight, we'd like to formally introduce you to that effort…  Monsters Among Us Junior!  Think: Monsters Among Us, but the stories are told by children, and the topics and overall vibe of the show is geared toward all the little monsters out there.  Just think about how many calls we get on the MAU hotline that took place when the caller was a child. Wouldn't it have been cool to have somewhere to share those experiences back in those days?  Well, now there is… Monsters Among Us Junior. Created and hosted by Derek Hayes of Monsters Among Us Podcast and co-hosted by MAU's lead researcher, Delainey Bowers. Welcome to the world of Monsters Among Us Junior. Happy hauntings, hooligans! Listen now wherever you get your podcasts: https://www.monstersamonguspodcast.com/mau-junior Monsters Among Us Junior on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/monsters-among-us-junior/id1764989478 Monsters Among Us Junior on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1bh5mWa4lDSqeMMX1mYxDZ?si=e68b9b51083742a9

On Halloween Night 1958, two strangers met at a late night bar in Charleston, SC. As the night went on, the two bar hopped before eventually ending up at one of their posh Queen St. home. Winthin an hour one man lay dead and the other fled. While the murder sounded like something straight out of the board game "Clue", it was the trial and media coverage that made this case more than noteworthy.
