Podcasts about sadistic

In the mid-1990s, the quiet backwoods of southwest Florida became the hunting grounds of a sadistic killer the media would dub “The Hog Trail Killer.” What began as a routine hog hunt quickly spiraled into one of the most gruesome investigations in Florida history - a string of bodies found in the woods, all bound, mutilated, and left to rot. This week, we look at Daniel Owen Conahan Jr., the man accused of turning Charlotte County's wilderness into his personal killing field, and explore the chilling possibility that he's connected to even more victims — the mysterious Fort Myers Eight.Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

A private investigator says he found something horrifying inside a Hollywood Hills home once searched by LAPD — a home connected to the ongoing investigation into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was discovered inside a Tesla linked to musician D4vd. The PI, hired by the home's landlord, claims police left behind critical evidence — including what he described as “sadistic plans” detailing harm toward Celeste. The allegations have reignited debate about police procedure, chain of custody, and whether something vital was missed. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to separate fact from speculation. Coffindaffer breaks down what a proper warrant search looks like, what the term “missed evidence” really means, and how investigators handle private citizens who suddenly step into the middle of an active case. This isn't about guilt or accusation — it's about accountability, evidence integrity, and whether law enforcement could have overlooked something that changes everything. #D4vd #CelesteRivas #HiddenKillers #JenniferCoffindaffer #TonyBrueski #HollywoodHills #TrueCrime #PrivateInvestigator #LAPD #JusticeForCeleste Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor and overcomer, content creator and TikTok whistleblower and educator, angelic singer, my dear, sweet friend, and a beautiful soul shattering the silence with her truth: Sophia HaggertySophia is a beacon of resilience, a survivor who has emerged from the depths of long-term, extreme child abuse with an unyielding spirit. Her childhood was marred by an array of horrors: verbal, physical, emotional, psychological, religious, sexual, and financial abuse; coercive control; intrafamilial child sex trafficking; ritualistic, sadistic, and satanic ritual abuse; near-death experiences from systemic torture; and torture-based mind control programming. Yet, Sophia's story is not one of defeat but of defiance, a testament to the power of the human soul to overcome unimaginable trauma.The shadows of generational trauma loom large in Sophia's family, though their full extent remains unclear. Sophia's parents were her primary abusers, even going to the extent of manipulating her brother to harm her - a burden she refuses to place on him, recognizing that they were all children ensnared in a cruel game. Her father, whom she believes to be psychopathic, hinted at his own unresolved trauma, possibly from his own mother's cruelty, but this never softened his actions toward Sophia. Behind their outward Christian facade, her family wielded a darkness that left no room for mercy.From this dark abyss, Sophia is forging a bright path of purpose and healing. In July 2024, she began publicly whistleblowing, initially as a way to cope with her pain. By March 2025, her voice grew sharper and more specific, and in the last couple months alone, her story has captivated over 2,000 followers and garnered 200,000 views across her top three videos. Her courage has sparked a movement, resonating with countless others who see their own struggles in her truth.  Now pursuing a degree in cloud computing, Sophia is driven by a fierce ambition to become a digital forensic expert, using technology to track down predators and protect the vulnerable. Her dreams extend further - she hopes to study law and psychology, arming herself with the tools to dismantle systems of abuse. Music, particularly singing, has been her lifeline, a sacred space where she could soothe her pain when all else was stripped away. Raised to believe rest was weakness, Sophia was deliberately overworked and destabilized, but she is now learning to slow down and embrace joy, one melody at a time.DONATE TO SOPHIA'S GOFUNDME: https://gofund.me/2f9931b05CONNECT WITH SOPHIA: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theshatteringsilence?lang=enYouTube: @RogueOmenSystem - https://www.youtube.com/@UCQocoldmFjh-PxnDtHxgkIgCONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationSupport the show

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comThis is the 9th episode feature of the CKLN Mind Control Radio Series that will be airing on all my channels. These lectures, interviews, and presentations are some of the most important documentations on mind control that you will find. This series is extremely difficult to find online and has stood the test of time since 1997 when it aired on CKLN Radio. I will be airing this series over the next couple months for 'Movie Night'. If you listen to this entire series, it'll tremendously help your understanding of MK ULTRA and trauma-based mind control. You will hear from renowned experts, advocates, educators, therapists, survivors, whistleblowers, and researchers who helped pave the way for where we are today. Much of the information you have heard in this series has been suppressed over the years, and some of it may be slightly outdated due to being ahead of it's time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------Valerie Wolf, MSW presents "Assessment and Treatment of Survivors of Sadistic Abuse"Valerie Wolf, MSW presents "Assessment and Treatment of Survivors of Sadistic Abuse" at the Believe the Children conference in April, 97.

In the mid-1990's, convicted rapist Moses Sithole went on a murderous rampage in South Africa. He would blame his sadistic crimes on being falsely imprisoned for a rape conviction in 1989 for which he would serve four years. But he wasn't, of course, falsely convicted. He had been raping woman after woman after luring them out into a secluded area with the promise of a new job. The same con he would later use to lure nearly 40 women to their deaths in 1994 and 1995. Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles Donnie and Dale tell the story of Joe Clark, aka The Bonebreaker. In July of 1995. 13-year-old Thad Phillips had fallen asleep in his living room watching a movie. Suddenly, he awoke to the feeling of someone lifting him up and carrying him away - initially he thought maybe it was his dad, bringing him upstairs to bed. But it wasn't. The person holding him was an older teen boy named Joe Clark. Joe carried Thad outside of his home and asked him to follow him to help fix his broken-down car. Still half asleep, Thad agreed, following Joe all of the way to a rundown broken home. He followed Joe into the home, not realizing he was about to endure the most terrifying, painful 43 hours of his life. The teenage boy that Thad thought could be a friend turned into his worst nightmare.  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://medium.com/tftunderworld/the-twisted-tale-of-joe-clark-the-baraboo-bone-breaker-401a63d7bdc6 https://criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/Joe_Clark https://www.wkow.com/news/kidnapped-and-tortured-by-the-bonebreaker-survivor-never-receives-21m-award/article_d773fd16-db12-11ed-87df-af2b02c845d6.html

FBI Analysis: The Dark Meaning Behind Bryan Kohberger's Sadistic Selfies When investigators dug into Bryan Kohberger's phone, they expected evidence. What they found instead was a strange and haunting window into his psyche: a private archive of shirtless selfies, mirror shots, and images that felt less like social media fodder and more like a shrine to himself. FBI experts compared the collection to Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, a character obsessed with his own reflection and detached from reality. On the surface, selfies aren't unusual. Generations live their lives in front of phone cameras. But in Kohberger's case, the timing and secrecy turn ordinary vanity into something darker. He wasn't posting them. He wasn't sharing them. He was documenting himself for himself — hours after phone calls with his mother, hours after circling the crime scene. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to break down what these images really mean. Were they simple vanity shots? Or were they part of a ritual — trophies preserved as reminders of what he had done? We discuss how these photos may have served as psychological bookmarks, snapshots of control in a life where he had none. Combined with the preserved images of unconscious women also found on his phone, the selfies paint a disturbing picture of ritual, narcissism, and pathology. It wasn't about looking good for others. It was about capturing control in moments only he would see. This episode digs into how something as ordinary as a mirror selfie becomes evidence of something much darker when taken in context.

Beneath the glittering facade of New Orleans high society in the early 1800s, Madame Delphine LaLaurie's lavish mansion concealed one of the most gruesome crimes in American history. Behind locked attic doors, enslaved men and women were chained, mutilated, starved, and grotesquely experimented on for Madame LaLaurie's sadistic pleasure. Some victims had their bones reset to take on non-human form, others were flayed, disemboweled, or fitted with crude surgical contraptions. This wasn't punishment: this was depravity wrapped in silk and perfumed with civility, masquerading as refinement while it feasted on human suffering. To this day, locals say the mansion is cursed. Visitors report cold spots, disembodied cries, and the faint clatter of chains dragging across the floorboards - echoes of suffering too violent to stay buried… Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Instagram + TikTok: @investigatorslater @psychopediapod Heart Starts Pounding can be found here: @heartstartspounding www.heartstartspounding.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Ryan Hemphill, a Manhattan private equity executive, was charged in a 116-count indictment in April 2025 with multiple counts of predatory sexual assault, rape, and other offenses. The allegations detail a series of acts where Hemphill is accused of subjecting women to "grotesque physical and sexual violence" in his midtown Manhattan apartment. This included the use of electric torture devices like shock collars and cattle prods, psychological torture, and forcing women to ingest controlled substances. Hemphill pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail as the case unfolds, with prosecutors suggesting there could be additional victims.National Sexual Assault Hotline:800.656.HOPE (4673)https://manhattanda.org/d-a-bragg-announces-116-count-indictment-of-ryan-hemphill-predatory-sexual-assault-of-six-women-in-midtown-apartment/Part of transcript read: https://x.com/conlin_lauren/status/1948821545192997243 Hosted on Acast.

At least 57 Palestinians seeking aid have been killed and more than 363 injured in Israeli attacks in Gaza since this morning, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed at these so-called "aid distribution centres" to 224, according to Gaza's health ministry. So far, the centres ran by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation have proven to be nothing more than death traps for Palestinians, who have likened their experiences to the movie "The Hunger Games". To discuss all this and more, Ahmed Alnaouq is joined by fellow Palestinian author from Gaza, the Pulitzer prize-winning poet and writer, Mosab Abu Toha.

True Crime Tuesday presents Depraved Obsession: Law Enforcement's Hunt for A Sadistic Serial Killer with Former Decorated Police Officer/Author, Rod Sadler ! What drove the inconspicuous sociopath to become a ruthless killer? During his nearly fifteen-year reign of terror, Ronald Lloyd Bailey's depraved obsession with sexual sadism held communities across southeast Michigan in a shroud of fear. From the early 1970's to the mid-1980's, the former patient at one of Michigan's foremost psychiatric hospitals, abducted as many as fifteen teens and over time became a sadistic serial killer. In this shocking, fast-paced account, retired police officer and true crime author Rod Sadler examines law enforcement's dedicated efforts in connecting the dots to stop an unknown killer, and he poignantly chronicles the determination of the victims' families to triumph over tragedy. Sadler also examines Bailey's insanity defense that centered on the alleged abuse he endured at the hands of his psychiatrist. In doing so, the bestselling author of KILLING WOMEN asks and answers the question: What drove the inconspicuous sociopath to become a ruthless killer? In Today's episode, we sit down with Rod and discuss where Ron Bailey went wrong, the fateful day he met Shawn Moore, how the community came together to finally catch Bailey. and some of the deeper, darker secrets that Bailey was holding onto while he was trying to convince the court, and the public that he was someone else!

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: ritual abuse and mind control survivor, overcomer and thriver, Bob Marley's biological daughter, loving mother, content creator, serial entrepreneur, artist and visionary, writer and author, Grammy Award Winning songwriter, podcaster, educator and avid learner, sound bowl lover and healer, and a woman on a mission to blind the darkness with her light: Zara MarleyZara's early life, shrouded in the complexities of her claimed and proven Marley lineage, was marked by trauma that began in childhood. She was thrust into a sinister world of organized abuse, orchestrated by sadistic abusers embedded within the music industry and others in close proximity to her. She's experienced sadistic and satanic ritual abuse firsthand, a harrowing reality that included secret tunnels, coercive initiations, and the exploitation of vulnerable souls. These experiences, which link to high-profile figures and systemic corruption, were designed to break her spirit and silence her voice. Yet, even in the face of such darkness, Zara's inner light - a spark she attributes to her father's legacy of resilience and Rastafarian faith - refused to be extinguished.As the biological daughter of beloved reggae legend Bob Marley, Zara carries the weight of a legacy steeped in music, love, and revolution, yet her journey diverges into a darker, lesser-known path - one of survival, healing, and fearless whistleblowing. As a survivor of satanic and sadistic ritual abuse, Zara has transformed her pain into purpose, emerging as a warrior for truth, a protector of the vulnerable, and an inspiration to countless survivors. Through her upcoming book, ‘Reclaim Your Soul', and her candid interviews, she shines a searing light on the underbelly of power and corruption, all while embodying the unyielding spirit of her father's call for justice and liberation.Zara's journey to healing began when she confronted the fragmented memories of her past, a process that required immense courage and spiritual fortitude. Drawing on the principles of unity and resistance that her father championed, she embarked on a path of self-discovery, piecing together the truths of her experiences. This journey led her to author Reclaim Your Soul, a book that promises to expose the music industry's darkest secrets while offering hope and guidance to survivors and victims of abuse. Through her writing and numerous other projects aimed at helping elevate humanity, Zara transforms her trauma into a beacon of empowerment and hope, encouraging others to reclaim their agency on a soul level, and break free from the chains of oppression.As a whistleblower, Zara's voice is both profound and provocative. She has spoken candidly about her encounters with industry giants, including discussions with Sean “P Diddy” Combs, about the spiritual toll of his initiation into elite circles. Her revelations about secret tunnels and their nefarious purposes have sparked intense discussion, challenging listeners to confront uncomfortable realities about power and control. Yet, Zara's mission extends beyond exposure; she is deeply committed to helping survivors heal, offering them a lifeline through her advocacy and support.Zara's connection to her father's legacy is not just familial but spiritual. While her father's music uplifted the disenfranchised through reggae's rhythmic rebellion, Zara's activism takes aim at the systemic forces that perpetuate abuse, making her a modern-day warrior in the Marley tradition. Her courage to speak out, despite the risks, mirrors Bob's own defiance in the face of political violence and oppression, as seSupport the show

In this episode of Beers with Queers, hosts Jordi and Brad discuss their experiences with online dating, particularly in the queer community, before delving into the tragic case of Sam Nordquist. Sam, a biracial transgender man, was subjected to horrific abuse and ultimately murdered after traveling to meet someone he believed he had found love with online. The conversation highlights the vulnerabilities faced by individuals seeking acceptance and the failures of law enforcement and social services in protecting marginalized communities. The episode concludes with reflections on the importance of vigilance and the need for systemic change in how such cases are handled.Beers With Queers: A True Crime Podcast

In this episode, Gary takes a deep dive into the ruthless life of Mad Sam DeStefano, one of the most brutal enforcers in organized crime history. A notorious loan shark tied to the Chicago Outfit, DeStefano's reputation for violence and torture made him a feared figure—even among his fellow mobsters. Born in 1909 in Illinois, DeStefano's criminal career began early, leading him from street gangs to the infamous 42 Gang and eventually into the Outfit ranks. His path to power was paved with violence, intimidation, and a sadistic pleasure in collecting debts through extreme methods. From his days as a political fixer to his reign as a feared loan shark, we uncover the chilling techniques he used to maintain control, including stories of his soundproof torture chamber and psychological manipulation of victims. We also explore his relationship with Tony Spilotro, the mentee who would eventually play a role in his demise. As DeStefano's erratic behavior and grotesque acts pushed him further into instability, his allies turned into enemies, sealing his fate in a brutal execution. Join me as we revisit the twisted legacy of Mad Sam DeStefano, a man who thrived on fear but ultimately fell victim to the same violent world he helped create.

Transcript [0:03]Introduction to Mad Sam DeStefano [0:00]Well, hey, all you wiretappers, welcome back to the studio of Gangland Wire. I have an old show that I did like seven or eight years ago, a long time ago, and I haven't retouched this guy since. So I went back in and looked at it and did some new stuff and re-edited it. So I have the story of Mad Sam DeStefano, who was a Chicago outfit loan shark collector. I'll tell you what, wait till you hear this guy's story. A lot of you may have heard of him. He's pretty well known, been pretty well reported on. But this guy is, he is what we call affectionately a piece of work. So settle back and listen to the story of the life of the most brutal loan shark collector and loan shark that probably ever was that I know about. He liked to torture. This guy is Sam, Mad Sam DeStefano. And I'd heard of Mad Sam. Of course, all you guys up in Chicago know about Mad Sam. He was kind of the guy that taught Tony Spilotro all the tricks of the trade on being a gangster. He was one of the first guys that Spilotro was given, was sent to his crew or Spilotro joined his crew. But Mad Sam, we'll tell you a little bit about the history of Mad Sam. Mad Sam was born in 1909. [1:21]And he would go on to become a big-time loan shark and a political fixer and a sociopathic killer for the Chicago outfit. I heard of, there's a guy a lot of you all know, a Chicago, former Chicago-based FBI agent named William F. Romer Jr. He wrote several books on the mob that a lot of people cuss and discuss and argue about whether he was telling the truth or making stuff up. But regardless what you think of Bill Romer, he did know Chicago Outfit better than anybody. And he considered DeStefano to be the worst torture murderer in the history of the United States. He said that this guy was a mentally unstable and sadistic person that was used by the Outfit as an enforcer and a juice loan collector. Sam, Mad Sam, was born in Streeter, Illinois. [2:09]His father was a laborer named Sam DeStefano Sr. His mother's named Rosalie. Both of them had been born in Italy and immigrated to the United State...
