In the final chapter of Couples From Hell Month, Christopher and Eric take a trip to Paduka, Kentucky by way of Tampa, Florida thanks to a devious, underhanded and murderous, lonely hearts con artist who cruelly plots his way into a good woman's heart with the help of his long lost “illegitimate stepson”. While they're all about diversity and inclusion, your out and proud hosts see little to celebrate about the fact that Charles Chumbler and Michael Kariakis are one of the few same sex couples covered in the Oxygen series KILLER COUPLES. As they serve up episode 3 of season 17, entitled – you guessed it “Charles Chumbler and Michael Kariakis” – the legal system presents them with a morally ambiguous twist that tests the definition of bias, and Christopher and Eric's tolerance for fairness in the eyes of the law. Keep your ears open for Eric's NSFW litmus test for homophobic judicial misconduct!

Couples From Hell Month continues with Christopher and Eric's outraged final serving of the last two episodes of KEN & BARBIE KILLERS: THE LOST MURDER TAPES on Max. Canada's most hideous murder case turns into Canada's trial of the century. (Don't just take our word for it, check out the comments from our Canadian Party People!) The resulting media melee  raises questions about the nation's legal system in the process — questions that raise Christopher and Eric's blood pressure as well. Just when you thought this story couldn't get any worse, we're greeted by a legal legerdemain from hell, evidence so distressing it sends spectators fleeing from the court room and obstruction of justice of the lowest and most pernicious sort. Eric rounds out the fiery discussion with an interrogation of everything that wasn't covered in this otherwise exhaustive series. (Spoiler alert: Which wolves raised Paul Bernardo?)

It's May. Here at TDPS, wedding bells are ringing and true crime victims are screaming.  To pay their own special homage to this season of renewals and nuptials, your bitter old hosts Christopher and Eric kick off our celebration of Couples From Hell Month with Part 1 of a True Crime TV Club installment serving up KEN & BARBIE KILLERS: THE LOST MURDER TAPES on Max. Our tale of marriage and mayhem begins in the Toronto area in the early 90's, where a sexual predator is stalking one of its most peaceful suburbs. As the evil spreads, the trial of clues leads to the doorstep of a charismatic and attractive young couple, Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. Is this a story of domestic abuse spiraling out of control? Or is there evil beyond imagining behind closed doors? Christopher and Eric's discussion of episodes 1 and 2 ends with a shocking cliffhanger in this tangled investigation. In our next episode, they serve up the stunning conclusion of what many still describe as Canada's trial of the century.

The only thing a true crime aficionado loves more than justice is when beloved Dateline host Keith Morrison calls BS on a lying criminal. To their face! You'll get plenty of the later and some of the former in this Spring Broke installment of Christopher and Eric's True Crime TV Club. Keith even asks the FBI some hard questions. In 2009, the disappearance of teenager Brittanee Drexel from a crowded Myrtle Beach sidewalk made headlines around the world. In episode 12 of season 31 of DATELINE, entitled “The Last Walk”, we travel the years of false leads, dramatic twists and outrageous lies that led from that rowdy Spring break evening to a jail cell in rural South Carolina and a confession that feels half-baked at best. Plenty of people failed to prevent this awful tragedy, and Christopher and Eric have plenty to say about all of them — but maybe not as much as Keith!

A fateful walk to the beach. A make-up case left behind. A serial killer who died before he could answer for his crimes. Following this trail of sandy clues, Spring Broke heads to the heart of Spring Break country — Daytona Beach, Florida — and travels back in time to 1984. Here Christopher and Eric unearth a decades old story of a vanished young woman, a mysteriously troubled mother and a tragically incompetent medical examiner as True Crime TV Club serves up DISAPPEARED, Season 4, Episode 9, entitled “Spring Break Nightmare”. What became of struggling high school student Colleen Orsborn on that long ago afternoon when she left her house in search of sun, sand and freedom? And why did it take so long to find out?

Welcome to Spring Broke, where adolescents make reckless decisions and your hosts are reminded why they don't have kids. Because they'd be too afraid to let them out of the house! It's not the first time Christopher and Eric have visited a small Texas town in search of a missing young man. Echoes of the Tom Brown story can be heard in this breathless installment of True Crime TV Club. Here your hosts serve up a two part episode of the Paramount + series NEVER SEEN AGAIN, Parts 1 and 2 covering the dramatic disappearance of 18-year-old Caleb Diehl. When the borrowed truck Caleb was driving suddenly reappears but the young man who was driving it doesn't, the resulting investigation unearths a dark legacy of abuse and lies, shaking the tiny, dusty hamlet of Nocona, Texas down to its cattle ranching roots. Police might have the right man, but for what crime? More importantly, where is Caleb? The question remains unanswered, but Christopher and Eric have theories. And they're not as pretty as the young man at the center of this disturbing case.

Our good friend Hart Fisher returns for the first time in 14 years! He would be pissed at Netflix but he's making money -- details on the renewed interest in his Jeffery Dahmer comics and more in part one of our talk with horror and true crime pioneer Hart D. Fisher, the man behind AMERICAN HORRORS where you can still see Burl Barer and Don Woldman on True Crime TV. During the '90s Hart D. Fisher was dubbed the “most dangerous man in comics” and for good reason. He was constantly fighting against the mainstream corporatization of the comic book industry and wasn't afraid to ruffle a few feathers in the process. He was the man responsible for creating the infamous “Marvel Can Suck My Cock” t-shirt, and his body of work through Boneyard Press consistently pushed the comics medium into an adult art form, before it became acceptable for creators to release anything considered risqué. In fact just last year, Fisher's “Jeffrey Dahmer: An Unauthorized Biography of a Serial Killer” ranked #3 on Bloody-Disgusting's list of “Top 10 Legitimately Terrifying Horror Comics”. Fisher's impact on the world of horror comics can still be felt in some of the books being produced today. Fisher's passion for the horror genre has only grown stronger since his departure from the comic book world. For the past few years, Fisher has been focused on developing and expanding his 24 hour uncut horror channel American Horrors, which is currently broadcast for free online.

Today on Confessional we get into our favorite segments from the classic True Crime TV show, Unsolved Mysteries! We have our pals, Whitney of the amazing True Crime Campfire Podcast, and Ros of Mondo Baltimore sitting in to discuss the most captivating disappearances, murders, and supernatural phenomenon presented by our man, Robert Stack.  Confessions from Kentucky, Ohio, and more. 

Welcome to Malibu, home to surf, celebrities and a murderous sniper who became a political football in a hotly contested election for Los Angeles County Sheriff. Christopher and Eric kick off Citizen Detective Month with this twisty exploration of a case that captivated LA County and the nation. Is amateur journalist and Malibu resident CeCe Woods a crusader for justice or an overwrought conspiracy theorist who allowed herself to be used by ambitious politicians? Find out in this installment of True Crime TV Club as your hosts serve up episode 2 of season 1 of the show CITIZEN P.I. entitled “Malibu Sniper.”

"If you've got a criminal record in both Florida and Jersey, you're automatically guilty," is the line that emerges loudest from your hosts in this new installment of True Crime TV Club's Winter Times Crime finale. Here the victim is only spoken for by one friend, who didn't seem to know her very well, and the footprints leading into the victim's house don't seem to come out again. In episode 1, season 1 of HOME SWEET HOMICIDE entitled "Footprints In The Snow",  the Northeast shows its most frigid colors in a tale of young love gone bad. But Eric senses some holes in the story he's eager to fill.

Can a hunting accident happen behind the wheel of a car? Can a stray bullet travel over a mile? Can a cold blooded killer be quite this transparent and stupid? These are the Winter Time Crime questions Christopher and Eric want answers to as they serve up episode 5, season 6 of ICE COLD KILLERS entitled "Open Season".  On a freeze night in a small Missouri town, the killing of a local outdoorsman leaves the community baffled — until the killer starts advertising their guilt in bright red neon.

Christopher and Eric serve up one of the most infamous, unsolved mysteries of all time, the Dyatlov Pass Incident, as Winter Time Crime continues with a tale of the collision of Cold War secrecy and Russia's brutal wintry landscape — a tale  that produced decades of paranormal conspiracy mongering. Apparently winter wasn't the harshest thing awaiting this group of experienced young Russian hikers when they set out into the Ural Mountains in 1959. While the documentary AN UNKNOWN COMPELLING FORCE might have its flaws, it gives a thorough crash course in this baffling story — not so baffling to Eric, however, who offers up an explanation as simple as it is compelling.

Alexis and Holly are joined by Colleen Lindstrom! Colleen and Alexis remember the late Ian Punnett and his impact on the world, we play an interesting round of Five Second Showdown (and Jessica Fletcher from "Murder, She Wrote" is probably a serial killer...) and Colleen tells us her family hack on watching true crime TV shows Learn more about your ad choices.

Winter Time Crime begins with this twisted, frigid tale of random shootings, terrifyingly loyal girlfriends and vindictive parents. Was Sean Cerniglia a sweet humorous teen or a criminal enabler? The jury's still out as family, friends and local law enforcement deliver the disturbing details of his untimely end in season 2, episode 5 of DEAD OF WINTER entitled "The Killing Field".  Christopher and Eric have plenty to say about the sluggish initial response from law enforcement and the petty asides of the parents involved. Dead of winter and cold as ice is the order of menu. 

Christopher and Eric continue their celebration of the return of THE CROWN with a True Crime TV Club serving of the tragic, real life basis for one of the famed Netflix series' most haunting episodes. In season 1, episode 8 of ROYAL INQUEST entitled "The Mountbatten Murder", the most decorated and experienced royal in British history becomes the victim of a chilling terrorist attack, and the ticking-clock investigation that follows has all the suspense and drama of a crime thriller. A deft use of forensic science and a growing Irish disdain for nationalist terrorism combine in this race for to avert greater violence and find justice.

Christopher and Eric celebrate the return of one of their favorite TV shows of all time, Netflix's THE CROWN, with this House of Windsor themed installment of True Crime TV Club. Who would you most want defending you in a fight? Queen Elizabeth II or Princess Anne? It might be tough to decide after watching this double feature. In season 1, episode 3 of ROYAL INQUEST entitled "Hunted Royal/The Queen's Visitor" two of the most famous women in the history of the British royal family face bloody, life threatening attacks which – spoiler alert! — they survive with astonishing results. Also, our VIPPs are treated to a brand new Insider Episode celebrating THE CROWN and all its previous seasons. Sign up today if you haven't already. See you in the VIPP section!

What would a buffet of Heartland Horrors be without a trip to the Deep South? The South Carolina Low County that is, where miles of backroads lead to swampy mysteries, mysteries from which some of us don't return. In season 5, episode 2 of MURDER COMES TO TOWN entitled "No Witnesses", Christopher and Eric meet a bright and promising young woman who vanished without a trace while giving a friend a late night ride home. The resulting trip rocked the small town of Moncks Corner to its core, put the young woman's loved ones through hell and unveiled villains as pathetic as they were diabolical.

This episode of Heartland Horrors Month surprises Christopher and Eric with a 1990's serial killing spree that found gay men being targeted in one of the Midwest's most progressive cities, a story that somehow managed to escape the notice of your queer-savvy hosts until now. In season 2, episode 6 of HOMETOWN HOMICIDE entitled "Unsafe Anywhere", we head to Minneapolis/St. Paul where a vicious, self-loathing killer stalks the gay men who've sought sanctuary in its more accepting neighborhoods. But a responsive police force — with some help from an undercover gay detective — put a stop to the murders before they could exact an even more terrible toll. Still, why are many of us just learning of this story now? Was it swallowed up by the nightmarish murder spree and arrest of a more famous Midwestern slayer of queer men?

            Heartland Horrors Month continues as Christopher and Eric give the coast-hugging, city dwellers among us several good reasons not to leave their urban idylls. And season 5, episode 1 of HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS — never a show for the faint of heart — just might take the cake for most gruesome episode in TDPS history. In "The Last Thanksgiving", your hosts are confronted by a crime that is shocking in both its grotesqueness and its competent incompetence, leaving them with stunned questions about the motivations at play, motivations that seem to lie just outside the reach of this hour of television they watched with jaws on the floor and sick bags within reach. Happy Thanksgiving it isn't.  Sorry. Or, you're welcome.

Leave it to Christopher and Eric to come up with reasons *not* to go home for the holidays. That's apparently the objective of Heartland Horrors Month here at TDPS, starting with this twisted tale of double lives and chatty wives. In season 1, episode 6 of MURDER IN THE HEARTLAND entitled, "A Deceitful Heart", we head to a Detroit suburb where everyone's desperate to tell you what a quaint and wholesome town they live in while simultaneously recounting a disturbing tale of addiction, murder and (incompetent) deceit. Quaint is in the eye of the beholder, we guess. Or the guilty. Does "double-life" end up being code for "gay twist"? Follow along with your ever curious hosts to find out.

In the second episode in a two parter serving up the landmark HBO documentary series LAST CALL: WHEN A SERIAL KILLER STALKED QUEER NEW YORK, Christopher and Eric are left breathless. The reveals come fast and furious throughout as the conclusion comes into focus in this moving exploration of a serial killer who used homophobia to thrive. Forensic science advances. A killer is unmasked. Heroes and advocates step forward to bring long overdue justice to an investigation marked by bigotry and dismissal. It's a deeply upsetting and satisfying conclusion to a confounding story. And for your hosts, LAST CALL makes for a painfully nostalgic tour through a challenging and not too distant period in gay history. But it's also the story of the persistence and dedication required to bring justice when the justice system spent years refusing to see the victims as fully human.  (We're looking at you, NYPD.)  

Some murders happen twice in a row. First comes the killing, then comes the erasure of the victim by the very institutions equipped to find the perpetrator.  Christopher and Eric mark the tragic anniversary of the brutal slaying of Billy Newton, whose decades old murder was solved thanks in part to the attention brought to it by this podcast, by serving up the first two episodes of a landmark HBO documentary LAST CALL: WHEN A SERIAL KILLER STALKED QUEER NEW YORK. As the dismembered bodies of two queer men turn up outside New York City in the early 90's, the similarities between their stories feel starkly alike — victims who struggled with homophobia and shame, a media that refused to see them as full-fledged humans. Your hosts share their own heartbreaking and disturbing experience of watching Billy's story get erased by supposed allies once again. It's all build up for their next episode, in which the shocking twists at the end of LAST CALL leave Christopher and Eric breathless.  

Sometimes a host of gory details only serves to distract from the real story. Eric believes that may well be the case with this episode of HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS, season 4, episode 1, entitled "Halloween Horror". When the Liskey family is massacred in their sleep the night before Halloween, their isolated Ohio farmhouse becomes a scene of horrifying mystery. Blood splatter evidence abounds, but what led to this shocking outburst of savage violence against this seemingly happy Oak Harbor family? Was there a deeper and darker secret here this particular hour of television was too timid to lay bare? Brotherly love gone tragically wrong, perhaps? Bring your theories to the table. Eric has his own, as always.  

Back to School month comes to a devastating conclusion with this disturbing exploration of a case that's been the butt of too many jokes and not enough explorations into the twisted manipulations employed by the seemingly gentle predator at its core.  As Christopher and Eric serve up the documentary MARK KAY LETOURNEAU: NOTES ON A SCANDAL, they're whisked back to the 1990's when a school teacher's shocking (and criminal) sexual affair with an underage male student made headlines around the world. But what at first threatens to be an apologia for an abuser turns into a deep dive into a legacy of obsession and abuse. Yours hosts are left wondering what would have become of young Vili Fualaau if he hadn't crossed paths with this deceptive predator.  

It's a quiet night in a small Texas panhandle town when one of its most beloved high school students vanishes, leaving behind a threadbare trail of mystifying clues. Within hours of the discovery of Tom Brown's abandoned SUV, one of the most baffling unsolved true crime stories of a generation is born. What truly happened to this beloved high school senior who'd recently been cut from the football team and turned his attention to the theater in response? As Christopher and Eric serve up episode 2 of season 1 of MURDER UNDER THE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS entitled "Where Is Tom Brown?" on Discovery Plus, they find themselves awash in conspiracies and baffled by the mysterious appearance of various pieces of key evidence years after the young man failed to return home. As Eric confronts whether or not the local journalist at the center of the episode is too reflexively (and conservatively) dismissive of some of the more outlandish theories of the case, Christopher reveals a key detail that was strangely omitted from the episode.  

Back to School Month continues as Christopher and Eric head to a posh New England prep school where secrecy and lies mask a legacy of abuse. But this tragedy extends far beyond the leafy borders of the seemingly idyllic campus of St. George's School, founded in the 19th Century to educate the offspring of the Gilded Age elite. A stunning expose in Vanity Fair magazine unveils the lengths administrators went to in order to protect the predators in their midst and the school's prestigious reputation. Christopher and Eric work to keep their tempers in check as they serve up episode 10 of season 3 of the series VANITY FAIR CONFIDENTIAL entitled, "St. George's Hidden Dragons" on Max and Discovery Plus. Brace yourself as you discover the true and terrible meaning of the term "passing the trash".  

Christopher and Eric kick off Back to School month, a quartet of episodes about the crimes endured by high school and college students as well as their loved ones. When Christian Aguilar begins his freshman year at the University of Florida in Gainesville, he's the first member of his family to attend college. But when he vanishes in the course of a single evening, his proud and devoted family vows they will stop at nothing to find the truth.  As Christopher and Eric serve up DEATH IN THE DORMS entitled "Christian Aguilar", episode 2 of season 1 on Hulu, they're riveted by this tale of devious and terrible revenge as old high school rivalries stalk the shadows of a promising new life.  

Don your waterproof slicker and pull on those thigh high rain boots. It's time for the storm drenched final leg of Christopher and Eric's True Crime Movie Time Summer Film Festival, Pacific Northwest Nightmares. Gary Ridgway was a predator so prolific and diabolical he became a household name. Better known as the Green River Killer, his decades long reign of terror in Washington State revealed police missteps, political machinations and an urgent need to embrace the humanity of sex workers before they became the victims of terrible crimes. Here, Christopher and Eric serve up the arresting Discovery ID special GREEN RIVER KILLER: MIND OF A MONSTER, the first in a true crime pairing that sets the stage for next week's viewing of THE RIVERMAN, a made-for-TV movie that attempts to draw a connection between Ridgway and another predator whose name haunts the Seattle area, Ted Bundy.  

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Toriano Porter. An opinion writer and member of The Kansas City Star Editorial Board, Mr. Porter has received statewide, regional and national recognition for reporting since joining McClatchy in 2012. C.O.W.S. investor "Mama C" recently posted about one of the many incidents of White Terrorism in the "Show Me" state: "Kansas City, Missouri generates fodder for the True Crime TV.

How have Christopher and Eric gone this long without discussing the Robin Hood Hill murders, the case that essentially gave birth to the modern day true crime genre? In this installment of Christopher & Eric's True Crime TV Club, they serve up THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE: AN ID MURDER MYSTERY, which encapsulates the dark saga of gruesome murder and rank injustice that divided a town and spawned several famous documentaries as well as a dramatic film adaptation. Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, Jessie Misskelly. How did these misunderstood small town youths become the West Memphis Three, a moniker that became synonymous with justice denied? Hint. The answer lies in a topic that never fails to bring your hosts to the boiling point, the Satanic Panic.

Christopher and Eric kick off the Southern Sins portion of their True Crime Movie Time Summer Film Festival with this wrenching look at addiction and murder among a group of disaffected teens in the Sunshine State. Meet Bobby Kent, a popular and good looking weight lifter — and a bully so vicious his closest friends decided there was only one way to put an end to his abuse. This installment of True Crime TV Club serves up an old school episode of AMERICAN JUSTICE: Payback For A Bully, episode 5 of season 15.  (Remember Bill Curtis?) It's all set up for next week's discussion of the gritty and controversial film based on the case, BULLY directed by Larry Clark and starring the late Brad Renfro.

On July 12, 2014 the body of 18-year-old Conrad Roy was discovered inside of his pickup truck. The teenager, who had a history of depression, died by suicide. At first, detectives had no reason to suspect foul play in Conrad's death, but they confiscated his cell phone anyway. After extracting data, detectives found thousands of text messages between Conrad and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Michelle Carter. The problem was that Michelle had been encouraging Conrad to kill himself in the weeks, days and minutes leading up to his death. The tragic incident then turned into a homicide investigation with Michelle Carter as the primary target. The Commonwealth v. Michelle Carter case was the first of its kind in that the defendant was being charged with manslaughter due to the virtual presence she had during Conrad's death. The prosecution claimed that her words led to Conrad's death. In this episode, Jami walks listeners through the case and breaks down the docuseries I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth v. Michelle Carter. Join the Serial Streamers TV Club! Here's how: Follow Jami on Instagram @JamiOnAir.

Midwest Mayhem departs the big and dirty city and heads to the bleak countryside for its second true crime pairing, the disturbing story of Charles Starkweather and Carol Fugate, two young killers whose gruesome crimes shocked a nation and inspired numerous film versions in the years that followed. In THE REAL 'NATURAL BORN KILLER', CHARLES STARKWEATHER (BORN TO KILL), available to stream on the Our Life You Tube Channel, we're given a by the numbers retelling of a horrifying killing spree that crossed the great plains of the Midwest. But Eric hears a story the producers aren't telling, the tale of a young woman who used as her weapon of choice, not just a gun, but a man desperate for her love and approval to exact her adolescent fantasies of revenge. We will complete our true crime pairing on our next episode when your hosts serve up a 1970's art house director's dramatic interpretation of these very crimes — Terence Malick's BADLANDS.

In June of 1996, 34-year-old teacher, Mary Kay Letourneau, began a forbidden affair with her 12-year-old student, Vili Fualaau. A media firestorm began when the illegal affair was brought to law enforcement's attention. Surprisingly, the illicit relationship between the much older teacher and her 6th grade student wasn't the biggest bomb shell. In this episode, Jami walks you through the entire scandalous story that shook the world and continued to do so for many years after. Join the Serial Streamers TV Club!

John Tamny of Forbes joins the show to discuss inflation, and John Rooney, the voice of the Cardinals, talks some baseball with us. Ryan Seacrest takes over Wheel of Fortune, and we debate whether true crime shows make you crazy.

Christopher and Eric kick off the Midwest Mayhem portion of their True Crime Movie Time Summer Film Festival with an all new true crime pairing devoted to two of the most mythologized figures in the history of American organized crime. Thanks to its snarky European producers, the documentary ELIOT NESS VS. AL CAPONE offers vicious commentary about the so-called land of the free. (To our Chicago based Party People, we beg your forgiveness in advance. We don't write the documentaries, we just serve them up.) But Eric was surprised by the film's fresh insights into the personality of the crusading Eliot Ness while Christopher struggled to keep track of which real life figures were being captured by its overwhelming flood of archival footage. It's all a set up for next week's discussion of the wildly popular Brian DePalma film THE UNTOUCHABLES, a cinematic exploration of the storied clash between these two men and modern day legends

East Coast Carnage heads to the Big Apple and the Five Boroughs as Christopher & Eric's True Crime Movie Time Summer Film Festival continues. For the first time, Christopher and Eric tackle one of the most notorious serial killer cases of all time, the Son of Sam killings, which terrified the New York area during the late 1970's. As they serve up this episode of WORLD'S MOST EVIL KILLERS: DAVID BERKOWITZ, your hosts question the killer's alleged insanity and his supposed adherence to Satanic beliefs. Did this case give birth to a hideous panic that would sweep the nation a few years later, warping both reason and due process in the decade to come?

East Coast Carnage,  the next chapter in Christopher & Eric's True Crime Movie Time Summer Film Festival, kicks off with the Boston Marathon bombing, a horrific act of terrorism that's still fresh in many of our minds. Even though they thought they knew the story, Christopher and Eric were unprepared for the emotional impact of MARATHON: THE PATRIOT'S DAY BOMBING, streaming on the recently renamed Max. How do you move past a trauma when the evidence of it is literally written on your body? That's just one of many harrowing questions tackled by this enormously powerful documentary. It's also the first in a true crime pairing that continues in our next episode with a discussion of the Peter Berg directed Mark Wahlberg vehicle PATRIOT'S DAY as we compare, contrast and serve up the facts with the fiction.

A new "true crime pairing" in California Screaming month begins with this latest installment of Christopher & Eric's True Crime TV Club, serving up a two-part documentary special about the case that ushered in a new era of human depravity and horror in the City of Angels. In episodes 7 and 8 of season 4 of VERY SCARY PEOPLE: "The Hillside Stranglers Part 1 and 2", host Donnie Wahlberg channels his inner Blue Blood to bring us the tale of a terrifying, seemingly random murder spree that claimed the lives of a diverse cross section of the city's innocent women before it unveiled a house of unspeakable horrors in middle of an often overlooked Los Angeles suburb. The stunning and seemingly unconnected array of victims as well as the media's response raises intriguing questions about LA's sense of itself as a city with fluid borders. Next week, they'll serve up the second half of this "true crime pairing" with a 1989 TV movie based on the case.

Christopher and Eric's cross country journey of murder and mayhem begins with California Screaming month, the first chapter in the True Crime Movie Time Summer Film Festival, a series of episodes devoted to "true crime pairings" featuring some of America's most notorious human predators. How have your hosts gone this long without covering the Zodiac killer (or killers, plural)? Perhaps it's the story's epic scope, packed as it with years of false leads and cryptic, terrifying letters sent to the media by a man claiming to be responsible for scores of killings throughout the San Francisco Bay Area (and possibly beyond). In this installment of Christopher & Eric's True Crime Club, they serve up episode 2 of season 4 of HISTORY'S GREATEST MYSTERIES: Who Is The Zodiac Killer? As Laurence Fishburne whisks us through a dizzying array of facts and files about California's most elusive serial killer, Eric arrives at a sure-to-be controversial conclusion about where the investigation might have gone wrong. It's a nice set up for next week's episode, a True Crime Move Time airing in which your hosts put fact to fiction to analyze the director's cut of the critically acclaimed David Fincher film, ZODIAC.

In the final burst of April Showers Bring Van Gogh Flowers Month, Christopher and Eric embark on a dizzying international journey that begins with a swift and skillful break in at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which your hosts visited only weeks before. (They're innocent. We promise!) In STEALING VAN GOGH: THE GREATEST ART HEIST OF THE 21st CENTURY on the Real Stories You Tube channel, art historian Andrew Graham Dixon takes a globe-trotting journey in search of two beloved Van Gogh paintings that were stolen in the dead of night by accomplished thieves. From the streets of Amsterdam to the frigid alleyways of the Ukraine to the sun drenched suburbs of Naples, Italy, it's a suspenseful and ultimately gratifying story that taught Christopher and Eric the real value of art in the eyes of the criminal underworld.

April showers bring Van Gogh flowers as Christopher and Eric celebrate their return from Europe with a twisty, international true crime tale involving the incredible artist they paid tribute to on their recent trip abroad. Vincent Van Gogh's life and career were short and marked by great mental challenges culminating in a tragic end. Today he's considered one of the greatest painters of all time. But allegations of forgery and fraud bedevil some of his most beloved works. In THE FAKE VAN GOGH PAINTINGS on the Real Stories You Tube Channel, the tale of a record breaking auctioned canvas that may or may not have been by his hand exposes the strange path to greatness his paintings traveled in the wake of his brutal and untimely death. 

“Jeannette, if you can hear us, know that we're looking for you” -- June 8th 2003, in the city of San Jose, a ‘Little Caesars' staff member receives a pizza order from a young girl, unaware that the caller is actually 9 year old Jeannette Tamayo, who has been missing for 3 days. Held captive in a small room in his house, her kidnapper brings back the food with a nasty smile: she knows that this could be her last dinner before he “gets rid of her tonight.” The memory of watching CSI with her brother flashes back to her mind — she is determined to fight until the last moment, so she grabs the pizza box, and becomes her own detective. Footage From: A&E (I Survived: Jeannette Tamayo -- NHNZ), Lifetime (They Took Our Child: Jeannette), ALDOWORLD TV (Overnight Restaurant Footage), Paramount CBS (Fox Crime: NCIS s5 e13), Global Village (San Jose California Drone View), San Jose Police Department (Promotion 2019).

Find out how this wrap up to Toxic Love Month almost became a second train wreck episode. (We're looking at you, Christopher.) Jasmine Fiore was determined to use her Playboy Playmate career as a stepping stone to a better life than the one in which her father abandoned their family and her mother struggled to make ends meet. So how did she end up horribly beaten, and mutilated and disposed of in an Orange County dumpster? Christopher and Eric chart the sad and infuriating course as they serve up the premiere episode of the brand new Discovery ID series THE PLAYBOY MURDERS entitled "Bunny Meets Bachelor".

No one chronicled a Hollywood murder mystery better than storied writer Dominick Dunne, and no one serves up Hollywood scandal better than your hosts Christopher and Eric. The first in one of their "true crime pairings", this installment of True Crime TV Club serves up DOMINICK DUNNE'S POWER, PRIVILEGE AND JUSTICE, season 1, episode 1, entitled "Phil Spector'. What really happened on that night twenty years ago when a down on her luck actress found herself at the isolated castle of a has-been music producer know for waving guns in the air to get his way? Does the blood splatter tell the truth or is the telling detail far more ordinary? It's the first episode of Toxic Love Month!

Movin' On Month continues and in typical, morbid Christopher and Eric fashion your hosts are celebrating with a special edition of True Crime TV Club that focuses on one of the most famous haunted house stories in American history. Who was the biggest victim of the Amityville Horror story? The beleaguered couple who claimed they were run out of their new home by demonic spirits? Or the young children caught in the crossfire of what many believe to be a high flown hoax? Your hosts tackle the unpleasant truths, possible lies and disturbing revelations in the documentary film, MY AMITYVILLE HORROR. And speaking of demons, beleaguered critic-at-large Jordan Ampersand is scheduled to make a visit too with interviews, insights and the results of his “State of the Gay Union” survey.  

Movin' On Month continues! Eric Shaw Quinn's finally getting his own place. To celebrate, we're bringing you an all new True Crime TV Club that proves it's always better to live alone. Dorothea Puente seemed like a sweet, charitable old lady who took in boarders out of the kindness of her own heart.  Then came the disappearances. And the strange smells. And the stupefying agents. Christopher and Eric serve up Episode 1 of Season 1 of the Netflix series WORST ROOMMATE EVER entitled "Call Me Grandma." We'll pass, madam, but thank you anyway.

We're calling it the train wreck episode, and not just because the crime involved took place next to some railroad tracks. Listen to find out why this became the most chaotic installment of Christopher and Eric's True Crime TV Club to date. Allegedly your hosts serve up an episode of a show called DEAD OF WINTER. Specifically, episode 5 of season 1. We think. We hope. One thing's for sure, madcap antics ensue. But that's par for the course at the TDPS Network.
