During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Stamford, Connecticut was terrorized by a killer who was strangling women and leaving their bodies by the side of the parkway. After four years and five confirmed victims, police arrested a local self-proclaimed preacher named Benjamin Miller, bringing the murders to an end and closing the case on what the press had dubbed the Bra Murders—or so they thought. From the moment Miller was arrested, there were some in the community who questioned whether the police had arrested the right man or if they'd simply chosen Miller as a scapegoat. Among other things, Miller had a long history of mental illness and, although he had initially confessed to the murders, he eventually recanted his confession and claimed that detectives had manipulated him into confessing. To this day, many Connecticut residents still wonder whether Benjamin Miller was really responsible for the Bra Murders, or if the real killer was allowed to walk free.

Picking up where we left off in Part 1, Earle Leonard Nelson — the man newspapers called the 'Dark Strangler,' the 'Gorilla Man,' and the 'Gorilla Killer' — unbeknownst to the public or authorities had left the Pacific Northwest and was heading east. Behind him: a trail of victims across California, Oregon, and Washington, including four in Portland alone. Ahead of him: a killing spree that would accelerate across the Midwest and Eastern United States before finally being brought to a halt in Winnipeg, Manitoba.Part 2 follows Nelson to Iowa, Kansas City, Philadelphia, and Buffalo where he would continue his brutal crimes. His final ten days would become the most violent stretch of the entire spree — five women killed across Detroit, Chicago, and Winnipeg between June 1st and June 10th, 1927. It's Winnipeg where the trail finally catches up with him, thanks to a jeweler, a barber, and a citywide search of boardinghouses.We follow Nelson's arrest, trial, and eventual execution — hanged on Friday, January 13th, 1928 at the Vaughan Street Jail, becoming the 13th person to hang there, after walking 13 steps to the gallows. His confirmed count of over twenty victims would stand as a horrifying record in America for nearly fifty years.Visit our website! Find us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Patreon, & more!

This case takes us to Washington DC in the 1940s. When a man moved from the South to the Northeast, in hopes of a better life. What he really got was a lust for power over women, an addiction to KILLING them, and a death sentence.. JOIN US as we discuss the DC Strangler: Jarvis Catoe. RIP to the victims
From San Francisco to Winnipeg, he carried a worn Bible and a strange but seemingly polite smile. He answered ads about homes for sale and rooms for rent where he was invited in by unsuspecting, vulnerable women. Between February 1926 and June 1927, twenty-two women and one eight-month-old baby lost their lives to Earle Leonard Nelson – the man newspapers of the day called the 'Dark Strangler,' the 'Gorilla Man,' and the 'Gorilla Killer.' Four of those killings took place in Portland, with three occurring in a single week.Earle Leonard Nelson was almost certainly the first serial sex murderer of the twentieth century in America; a distinction most true crime listeners have never heard because his crimes predate the term "serial killer" by roughly half a century. As an orphaned child in San Francisco, he suffered what many believe was a devastating and life-altering accident that seemed to break something in him. We follow him through repeated stints at Napa State Mental Hospital, and into the cross-country killing spree that made him briefly the most-hunted man in North America. His Portland victims – Beata Withers, Virginia Grant, Mabel Fluke, and Blanche Myers, killed between October and November of 1926 – led to what may have been one of, if not the first serial-killer safety advisories in American history, issued by the Portland Police Bureau. Amidst the chaos of his killings, we'll also talk about the unlikely survivors and other victims slain in his brutal spree across the country. Though the trail comes to a final conclusion, eerily on Friday, January the 13th, of 1928 in Winnipeg, his confirmed count of twenty-two would stand as the American record for nearly fifty years. Then the case, and the man, despite massive impact at the time, quietly slipped out of public memory.If this story moves you, we'd love it if you shared the episode - it helps the show, and most importantly the story deserves to be remembered.

In this episode, leading forensic criminologist Dr. Eric Hickey joins us to analyze the psychopathological profile and behavioral mechanics of Roger Kibbe, the I-5 Strangler. We examine how underlying sexual sadism, fantasy ritualization, and paraphilic fixations drive repetitive violence and victim selection along transport corridors. Through clinical analysis of offender motivation, power-control dynamics, and post-arrest behavioral patterns, we uncover the psychological signatures that separate opportunistic predators from methodical, high-rate serial killers.
In this episode, we sit down with veteran criminologist Dr. Eric Hickey to talk about how cops finally cornered Roger Kibbe, the sick predator who turned California's highways into his personal hunting grounds. We break down the wild street-level detective work, crazy patrol encounters, and gut-wrenching evidence that brought down a serial killer targeting lone drivers late at night. Get ready for an unfiltered look at how bad guys hide in plain sight on the open road and what it actually takes for law enforcement to put a high-speed monster behind bars.
This episode uses the real-world case of the I-5 Strangler to break down crucial situational awareness strategies for vulnerable transit environments like isolated highway stretches and roadside stops. Alongside expert insights from Dr. Eric Hickey, we analyze how predatory offenders identify isolated targets, exploit environmental blind spots, and use pre-incident indicators to lure victims into a false sense of security. By understanding these behavioral red flags and spatial risks, listeners learn practical protocols to maintain heightened vigilance and protect themselves during long-distance travel.

This episode sits down with renowned criminologist Dr. Eric Hickey to dissect the dark psychological drivers and predatory patterns of Roger Kibbe, the notorious "I-5 Strangler." We explore the complex interplay of power, control, sexual sadism, and paraphilic fixations that fueled his decade-long campaign along California's highways. By breaking down how serial killers select, isolate, and control their victims, we gain deep insight into the internal rationalizations and behavioral signatures that define high-risk serial offending.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 23, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness travels from obscure folklore across four continents to a little-known Louisiana serial killer and a Maryland child murder that has gone unsolved for more than sixty years.It opens with a tour through the ghosts and monsters that rarely make the usual lists: the Dungarvon Whooper, the murdered lumber-camp cook named Ryan whose whoops still echo along New Brunswick's Dungarvon River; the strzyga of Slavic myth, a two-hearted, twin-souled demon that takes the form of a barn owl before it feeds; Lady Koi Koi, the red-heeled teacher whose clicking footsteps haunt boarding schools across Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa; the banshee of North Carolina's Tar River, tied to a flour miller named Dave Warner and the Revolutionary War redcoats who drowned him in 1781; the Headless Nun of Miramichi, the murdered Sister Marie who wanders French Fort Cove asking where her head has gone; the Kludde, a chain-rattling shapeshifting dog from Belgian and Dutch folklore; the Inupasugjuk, the rarely-seen giants of Inuit tradition; the Dearg Due of County Waterford, an abused Irish bride who rose from her grave near the Tree of Strongbow to drain the blood of her father and husband; the Goatman of Old Alton Bridge near Denton, Texas, an 1884 iron truss bridge also tied to the lynching of black goat farmer Oscar Washburn; and the Stratford Knockings of 1850, the poltergeist that draped Reverend Eliakim Phelps's Connecticut mansion in funeral crepe and centered on his eleven-year-old stepson Harry.From there the episode turns to Ronald Joseph Dominique, the Louisiana pizza delivery man dubbed the Bayou Strangler, who raped and strangled twenty-three men between 1997 and 2006 while evading police for nearly a decade. Drawing on Fred Rosen's book The Bayou Strangler, the segment follows the killing of Oliver LeBanks, beaten with a tire iron and dumped beneath a highway overpass near Metairie, and traces Dominique's earlier victims across St. Charles Parish, from nineteen-year-old David Mitchell in July 1997 to twenty-year-old Gary Pierre and thirty-eight-year-old Larry Ranson, most of them gay African American men lured with the promise of paid sex. It introduces Detective Lieutenant Dennis Thornton of the Jefferson Parish sheriff's office, who worked the LeBanks scene and set himself the task of linking the killings that DNA evidence would finally tie to Dominique.The episode closes with the June 10, 1960 disappearance of nine-year-old Alva Jean Parris, who vanished walking three blocks to her aunt's house from the Riverdale Apartments in Essex, Maryland. Five days later, searchers found her shoes in a marsh and her body in a shallow grave concealed with linoleum, sod, and twigs beside an abandoned farmhouse, her abdomen and pelvis coated in lye. Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. William Lovitt found decomposition too advanced to confirm a cause of death, though strangulation was suspected, and despite polygraph tests, a solid alibi clearing her mother Fredonia, and tips about a man seen in a sailor's hat, no suspect was ever charged in a case that remains open today.

For at least sixteen months in the 1920s, Earle Nelson terrorized North America, murdering at least twenty-two women while drifting from city to city under false identities. Known as the Gorilla Man and the Dark Strangler, Nelson was a deeply disturbed sexual predator whose life was marked by childhood tragedy, mental illness, brain injury, prison sentences, and multiple escapes from psychiatric institutions.

Kavanagh strangled Dixon with his own tie, stole 34 10s from his pockets, went shopping, and confessed to his murder. But then in court, he denied murder, and used an alibi which had got many 1950s killers off a murder charge.Location: Ground floor bedsit, 11 Hillmorton Road, Rugby, Warwickshire, Date: Saturday the 12th of April 1958, evening, Victims: Isaiah Dixon (and Evelyn Ullah)Culprit: Matthew KavanaghSeven time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

Between 1962 and 1964, thirteen women in the Boston area were murdered in a case that terrified a city and became known around the world as the Boston Strangler murders. For decades, the public was told Albert DeSalvo was the killer. He confessed, the headlines moved on, and Boston tried to put the nightmare behind it. But DeSalvo was never convicted of the Strangler murders. His confession had problems, several suspects remained in the background, and even after DNA tied him to one victim in 2013, questions remain about whether one man killed all thirteen women. In this episode we look at the victims, the investigation, the suspects, the confession, and the evidence that still leaves this case sitting somewhere between closure and mystery.#BostonStrangler #AlbertDeSalvo #AnnaSlesers #MaryMullen #NinaNichols #HelenBlake #IdaIrga #JaneSullivan #SophieClark #PatriciaBissette #MaryAnnBrown #BeverlySamans #EvelynCorbin #JoannGraff #MarySullivan #GeorgeNassar #TrueCrime #ColdCase #CriminalBehavior #ProfilingEvil #GIS #Esri #ArcGIS========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVILReferral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

In 2002, A local newspaper in St. Louis, Missouri received a letter and a map from a serial killer that had been terrorizing the streets of East St. Louis and its surrounding area.

The same would prove true in the case of a modern-day murderer thought to have been responsible for the deaths of at least seven female victims in rural Japan. A killer whose disturbing and highly distinctive methods would ultimately earn him the chilling nickname, ‘The Wednesday Strangler'.

Steve Wright was already one of Britain's most notorious killers. Known as the Suffolk Strangler, he was given a whole life sentence in 2008 for murdering five women in Ipswich. The case shocked the nation and left lasting scars on a community that had felt safe.But the story did not end there.In 2026, Wright admitted to the murder of seventeen year old Victoria Hall, a crime that had remained unsolved for nearly three decades. Her family had waited years for answers.This episode of Blood Ties revisits the case. Six victims. One killer. And a truth that proves some stories are far darker than we first believe and asks whether justice can ever truly arrive when the past keeps returning again.CREDITS: Presenters: Geoffrey and Molly WansellProducer: Peter Shevlin https://pod60.com/Artwork: George LeighMusic: Dan WansellCONTACT: Twitter: @BloodTies_PodInstagram:@bloodtiespodcastEmail: bloodties.podcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bloodtiespodcastSupport: patreon.com/bloodtiespodcastPlease complete our survey if you have time: http://bit.ly/bloodtiespodcast-survey Hosted on Acast.

In February 2026, Steve Wright pleaded guilty to the murder of 17-year-old Vicky Hall, a crime he committed seven years before he became known as the Suffolk Strangler. But the night before he killed Vicky, he stalked another young woman through the streets of Felixstowe for almost an hour. She escaped. She reported it. The police dismissed her and told her to forget about it. The following night, Wright went back out. Vicky Hall never made it home…*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED *** This episode was written by Eileen Macfarlane.

In 1970, 85-year-old Nellie Farmer lived quietly in a modest retirement hotel. A retired schoolteacher, she had spent her life helping others and asking for very little in return. One night, that safety was shattered. An intruder broke into her room while she slept. Nellie Farmer had been brutally raped and strangled with a scarf. Her body was discovered face down on the bed, partially covered by blankets, as if someone had tried to hide what they had done. At first, it looked like a single, terrible crime. But it wasn't. Police quickly arrested a man who admitted he had been in Nellie Farmer's room the night she died, but he insisted someone else was responsible. His story pointed the finger at a mysterious accomplice known only by a nickname. That testimony would send a man to prison, but was he the right man? As the years passed, the case began to unravel because Nellie Farmer's murder was not the end of the story. It was only the beginning.

In the mid-1980s, the streets of Tampa, Florida became hunting grounds for one of the most ruthless predators in the state's history: Bobby Joe Long, also known as the Hillsborough Strangler and the Classified Ad Rapist. Between 1984 and 1985, Bobby abducted innocent women and dragged them from dimly lit roadsides into a nightmare that ended with sexual assault, torture, and typically strangulation. By the time investigators finally closed in, Bobby had murdered at least ten women and assaulted many more. In this episode, we explore Bobby's childhood, his complicated relationship with his mother, and the twisted path that led him from a troubled boy to the man who terrorized Tampa.

In the fall of 2009, police in Cleveland entered a house expecting to arrest a man accused of sexual assault. Instead, they stepped into one of the most shocking crime scenes in the city's history. Hidden inside the home, and buried in the yard, were the remains of eleven women. They were the victims of a killer who had blended into the neighborhood for years. What followed was a devastating investigation that exposed not only a serial murderer, but a long trail of missed warnings and overlooked disappearances.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: 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/
In December 2006, the town of Ipswich was rocked by a spree of brutal murders targeting sex workers in its notorious red light area. But the story didn't end with the capture of the so-called ‘Suffolk Strangler', Steve Wright… The murders of Tania Nicol, Gemma Adams, Anneli Alderton, Annette Nicholls and Paula Clennell would go on to transform policing strategies for prostitution in the UK (and even inspired a tone-deaf musical).And with killer Steve Wright back in the news in February 2026 after pleading guilty to the murder of schoolgirl Victoria Hall in 1999, this decades-old case still hasn't run out of surprises.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / InstagramSources and more available on redhandedpodcast.com
