On August 10, 1996, 20-year-old Humboldt State University student Michael Larry Madden vanished after embarking on a solo camping and fishing trip at Sand Bar Flat near Sonora, California.

The so-called Atlantic City Serial Killer, also known as the Eastbound Strangler, is an unidentified killer believed to have murdered four women in the Atlantic City area in 2006. On November 20 of that year, the bodies of Barbara Breidor, Molly Dilts, Tracy Ann Roberts and Kim Raffo were discovered in a drainage ditch behind the Golden Key Motel along the Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township. The women had been placed face down in shallow water, spaced apart in a row, with their heads oriented toward the east and their shoes and socks removed. At least two of the victims died from strangulation or asphyxiation, while decomposition prevented authorities from determining definitive causes of death for the others. Several of the women had histories involving sex work, which led investigators to believe the killer may have targeted vulnerable women in the Atlantic City area.The case has remained unsolved for nearly two decades despite multiple suspects and periodic attempts to revive the investigation. One man, Terry Oleson, drew intense scrutiny after police learned he had been staying at the Golden Key Motel and later found evidence that he had secretly recorded a minor, but he was never charged in connection with the four murders. Investigators also revisited the case after the arrest of accused Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann because of similarities between the victims and the disposal sites, but authorities said they found no known connection. The identity of the Eastbound Strangler remains unknown, leaving the murders of Breidor, Dilts, Roberts and Raffo as one of New Jersey's most haunting unsolved serial murder cases.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Babes in the Wood Murders /// Chapter 3Chapter 3 /// The Search www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Babes in the Wood Murders - Chapter 3 /// The Search Almost eight years to the night that Margaret Frame disappeared and later was found killed in a park in Brighton, the terror climbed to a new level.

Dennis Rader, known as the BTK killer, was an American serial killer who murdered 10 people in and around Wichita, Kansas, between 1974 and 1991. The initials BTK stood for “Bind, Torture, Kill,” a name Rader gave himself in letters he sent to police and news organizations. He targeted men, women and children, often stalking victims before entering their homes, restraining them and killing them. Rader's crimes terrified the Wichita area for years, particularly because he repeatedly taunted authorities and the media with letters describing the murders and seeking attention for himself.Rader remained unidentified for decades while living what appeared to be an ordinary suburban life, working various jobs, serving as a church leader and raising a family. He resurfaced in 2004 by sending new communications to the media, and that decision ultimately led investigators to him. Police traced a computer disk he had mailed to a local television station back to his church and then used additional evidence, including DNA, to confirm his identity. Rader was arrested in February 2005, later pleaded guilty to all 10 murders and received 10 consecutive life sentences.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Day two of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing focused heavily on prosecutors' effort to connect Robinson to the Utah Valley University campus and to the physical evidence recovered after Charlie Kirk was shot. Investigators introduced additional surveillance footage they said showed Robinson moving around UVU before and after the shooting, while the State also turned to forensic evidence recovered along the alleged escape route. A screwdriver found on top of the Losee Center and a towel recovered from a wooded area near the rifle became major points of testimony. The State Bureau of Investigation introduced an FBI laboratory report concluding that DNA from both Robinson and his roommate, Lance Twiggs, was present on the screwdriver and towel, evidence prosecutors argued helped connect Robinson to the rooftop area and to the abandoned rifle. The hearing also featured argument over the State's allegation that Kirk had been targeted because of his political and religious views, an issue relevant to the victim-targeting enhancement prosecutors had attached to several chargesThe defense spent much of the day attacking how strongly the forensic evidence could actually be interpreted. FBI forensic examiner Amanda Bakker was questioned for roughly three hours as defense attorney Michael Burt dug into the technical details of the DNA testing, mixtures, statistical interpretation and the limitations of what the results could establish about when or how DNA was deposited on the objects. Robinson's lawyers also pushed back against the State's motive theory, challenging the attempt to characterize the killing as being driven by Kirk's religious beliefs in addition to political disagreement. By the end of day two, prosecutors had added important physical evidence to the surveillance case presented on day one, but the defense had begun laying out the approach it would use throughout the hearing: concede that certain items contained Robinson-associated evidence while aggressively challenging what that evidence actually proved about possession, timing, motive and the circumstances of Kirk's killing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Edmund Kemper, known as the “Co-ed Killer,” was an American serial killer who murdered 10 people in California, including his paternal grandparents, six young women, his mother and one of his mother's friends. Kemper committed his first murders as a teenager in 1964, killing his grandparents before being sent to a psychiatric facility. He was released in 1969, and between 1972 and 1973 he began targeting female college students in the Santa Cruz area, often picking them up while they were hitchhiking before killing and dismembering them. His crimes were marked by extreme violence, postmortem mutilation and a disturbing level of planning.Kemper's final murders were his mother and her friend in April 1973. Afterward, he fled California but eventually called police and confessed, effectively turning himself in. He was convicted of eight counts of first-degree murder for the later killings and sentenced to life in prison. Kemper later became widely known because of the extensive interviews he gave about his crimes, upbringing and psychology, which have been studied by law enforcement and criminologists and helped shape early efforts to understand serial offenders.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
The man at the center of the Portland serial killer case is Jesse Lee Calhoun, a convicted felon who has been charged with killing multiple women whose bodies were found across northwest Oregon and southwest Washington. Prosecutors have accused Calhoun of murdering Kristin Smith, Charity Lynn Perry, Bridget Webster, Joanna Speaks and Ashley Real, and in September 2026 he was also indicted in connection with the death of Elizabeth “Libby” Gibson. The women disappeared or were found dead between late 2022 and 2023, often in isolated locations, and the similarities between the cases fueled early fears that a serial killer might be operating in the Portland area. Calhoun has pleaded not guilty to the murder charges, and the cases remain pending.What made the case especially controversial was the way Portland police initially pushed back against those fears. In June 2023, after six women had been found dead in the region, the Portland Police Bureau publicly said it had “no reason to believe” the cases were connected and characterized suggestions of a serial killer as unsupported speculation that was creating unnecessary fear. But the picture changed quickly. By July, investigators acknowledged that four of the deaths were believed to be connected and that Calhoun was a person of interest, and prosecutors later began filing murder charges tying him to several of the women. The reversal became a major part of the story because authorities had initially tried to reassure the public that there was no evidence of a common killer, only for subsequent investigations to establish the very kind of connection that residents and victims' families had been worried about.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
When Jeffrey Dahmer was finally caught in 1991, his confessions to detectives revealed the full horror of his crimes. He admitted in chilling detail that he had lured men and boys back to his apartment, where he drugged, strangled, and dismembered them. He described how he kept body parts as trophies, including skulls and bones, and in some cases engaged in acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. His willingness to recount these actions without visible remorse shocked investigators, as he openly discussed his urges, rituals, and the escalating compulsion that drove him to kill.Dahmer explained to detectives that he had begun killing in the late 1970s and that his crimes grew more methodical and grotesque over time. He spoke about his desire to create “zombies” by drilling into victims' skulls and attempting to inject chemicals, a twisted effort to make them submissive and permanently under his control. His confessions painted a picture of a man consumed by obsession, driven by both sexual compulsion and a profound need for domination. The level of detail he provided gave law enforcement the clearest view into his psyche and the systematic way he carried out his murders, making his case one of the most infamous in modern criminal history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:confession1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the days immediately after Bryan Kohberger's arrest, investigators had finally identified a suspect in the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, but many of the biggest questions about the case remained unanswered. Police had said the attack was targeted, yet they had not explained whether one victim or all four had been intended targets, what the motive was or whether Kohberger knew any of the students. The murder weapon had still not been recovered, and authorities had released few details about exactly how the killer entered or left 1122 King Road. Investigators had also kept quiet about what DNA or other forensic evidence had been recovered from the sprawling and bloody crime scene, while the circumstances surrounding the white Hyundai Elantra seen near the house had only recently become a major focus.Other mysteries centered on the timeline and what happened inside the house before the victims were discovered. Kaylee and Madison had returned home around 1:56 a.m., while Xana and Ethan had arrived earlier after attending a Sigma Chi party, but the original public timeline still contained major gaps, particularly regarding Xana and Ethan's movements. Two surviving roommates had been in the house during the killings, and friends were called to the residence before the 911 call reporting an “unconscious person,” yet police had not revealed who actually placed the call or exactly what the roommates and friends had seen. Kohberger's arrest therefore represented a major breakthrough, but at that stage it answered only one fundamental question: who police believed committed the murders. The motive, the relationship to the victims, the precise sequence of events, the missing weapon and the evidence connecting him to the house were still largely hidden from public view.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Gary Ridgway's confessions came after he struck a 2003 plea agreement with King County prosecutors that spared him the death penalty in exchange for a complete and truthful accounting of every murder he committed in the county. Ridgway ultimately pleaded guilty to 48 counts of aggravated first-degree murder and spent months giving investigators detailed interviews about how he selected, killed and disposed of his victims. He admitted that he deliberately targeted women he believed were sex workers because he thought they would be less likely to be immediately missed and because he believed their lifestyles made them easier to approach. Ridgway described strangling most of his victims, frequently having sex with them before killing them and, in some cases, returning to their bodies afterward. He also explained how he dumped victims in clusters around remote wooded areas, the Green River and other locations so he could keep track of where he had left them.What made the confessions especially chilling was Ridgway's detached manner and his admission that he had killed so many women that he could no longer clearly remember all of them. Investigators used the interviews to take him back to disposal sites, identify victims and resolve cases that had remained open for decades. The FBI later described him as speaking about the murders and sexual violations with striking emotional detachment, treating the women more like objects than human beings and showing little genuine empathy for the suffering he caused. Ridgway officially admitted to 48 murders, but investigators have long believed his true victim count may have been higher, and he himself suggested during questioning that he had killed more women than he could reliably identify.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Israel Keyes was an American serial killer, kidnapper, rapist and bank robber who deliberately tried to make his crimes difficult to connect. He traveled extensively around the United States, sometimes flying to one part of the country, renting a vehicle and then driving hundreds of miles before selecting victims with whom he had no obvious connection. Keyes also buried “kill kits” containing weapons, restraints and other supplies years in advance so he could return later and commit murders without having to purchase suspicious items immediately beforehand. He confessed to killing Bill and Lorraine Currier in Vermont in 2011 and to abducting and murdering 18-year-old Samantha Koenig in Anchorage, Alaska, in 2012. After killing Koenig, he staged a ransom demand using a photograph of her body and withdrew money from her debit card, activity that ultimately helped investigators track him down and arrest him in Texas.After his arrest, Keyes told the FBI that he had killed multiple people over many years and claimed his murders stretched across several states, but he was deliberately evasive about names, locations and victim totals. Investigators believed he was responsible for at least 11 murders, although only three victims were conclusively identified, and he was examined in connection with numerous unsolved disappearances and homicides across the country. Keyes described choosing victims opportunistically and said he sometimes traveled specifically to kill, making geographic profiling unusually difficult. He died by suicide in an Alaska jail in December 2012 before he could be tried for most of the crimes he confessed to, leaving investigators with a disturbing combination of confirmed murders, partial confessions and unresolved questions about how many victims he actually had.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Gary Michael Hilton was a drifter and convicted serial killer who became known as the “National Forest Serial Killer” after targeting people in remote wilderness areas across Georgia, Florida and North Carolina. His known killing spree unfolded in 2007 and early 2008, with victims including elderly hikers John and Irene Bryant in North Carolina, Cheryl Dunlap in Florida and 24-year-old Meredith Emerson in Georgia. Hilton preyed on people in isolated hiking areas, abducted them, robbed them and in several cases used their bank cards before killing them and attempting to conceal or mutilate their bodies. He pleaded guilty to murdering Emerson after investigators linked him to her disappearance and found evidence in his van, and he later admitted killing the Bryants.Hilton was also convicted in Florida of kidnapping and murdering Cheryl Dunlap, whose decapitated body was found in the Apalachicola National Forest in December 2007. A Florida jury unanimously recommended the death penalty, and he was sentenced to death in 2011. He received additional life sentences for the Bryant murders, while his Georgia sentence for Emerson's murder was life imprisonment. Investigators also examined Hilton in connection with other unsolved disappearances and killings, including cases involving people who vanished near hiking areas, though not all of those suspicions resulted in charges. His crimes stood out for their predatory use of isolated public lands, where he could approach victims with little chance of witnesses and then use the surrounding wilderness to hide evidence and bodies.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

When Jeffrey Dahmer was finally caught in 1991, his confessions to detectives revealed the full horror of his crimes. He admitted in chilling detail that he had lured men and boys back to his apartment, where he drugged, strangled, and dismembered them. He described how he kept body parts as trophies, including skulls and bones, and in some cases engaged in acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. His willingness to recount these actions without visible remorse shocked investigators, as he openly discussed his urges, rituals, and the escalating compulsion that drove him to kill.Dahmer explained to detectives that he had begun killing in the late 1970s and that his crimes grew more methodical and grotesque over time. He spoke about his desire to create “zombies” by drilling into victims' skulls and attempting to inject chemicals, a twisted effort to make them submissive and permanently under his control. His confessions painted a picture of a man consumed by obsession, driven by both sexual compulsion and a profound need for domination. The level of detail he provided gave law enforcement the clearest view into his psyche and the systematic way he carried out his murders, making his case one of the most infamous in modern criminal history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:confession1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Cary Stayner was a motel handyman living and working near Yosemite National Park when he murdered four women in 1999, turning one of America's most famous tourist destinations into the center of a serial-murder investigation. His first known victims were Carole Sund, her 15-year-old daughter Juli, and their 16-year-old family friend Silvina Pelosso, who disappeared while staying at the Cedar Lodge near Yosemite in February 1999. Their burned-out rental car was later found with two bodies inside, while Juli Sund's body was discovered separately. Months later, Stayner killed 26-year-old Joie Armstrong, a Yosemite naturalist, near her cabin in the park. Investigators quickly focused on Stayner after Armstrong's murder because he worked at the lodge where the earlier victims had stayed, and he ultimately confessed to all four killings, describing how he had abducted, restrained and murdered the women before attempting to conceal the crimes.Cary Stayner was a motel handyman living and working near Yosemite National Park when he murdered four women in 1999, turning one of America's most famous tourist destinations into the center of a serial-murder investigation.

The “Great Basin Killer” was the name investigators and the media gave to a suspected serial murderer believed to be responsible for a string of killings across Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and Idaho between 1983 and 1997. At least nine women were initially grouped together as possible victims because of similarities in the cases: many were young women or hitchhikers, several had been sexually assaulted, and their bodies were dumped in remote areas near major interstate highways running through the Great Basin. Some victims were strangled, others stabbed or shot, and in several cases their bodies appeared to have been deliberately posed. The geography of the crimes, particularly the proximity to highways and truck stops, raised suspicions that the killer might have been a long-haul truck driver or someone else who moved routinely across state lines. Investigators interviewed truckers, sex workers, service-station employees and others who traveled those corridors, but no single suspect was ever definitively identified as the Great Basin Killer.Over time, however, the theory that one unidentified predator committed all of the Great Basin murders largely fell apart. Advances in DNA testing and later investigations showed that several of the killings had been committed by different men. Dale Wayne Eaton was convicted of murdering Lisa Marie Kimmell, while serial killer and truck driver Robert Ben Rhoades was eventually linked to Patricia Walsh and her husband Douglas Zyskowski; other cases were separately solved or attributed to different offenders. Several murders nevertheless remain unsolved, leaving open the possibility that one unidentified killer could still be responsible for some portion of the original series. The Great Basin case therefore evolved from the hunt for a single roaming serial killer into something arguably even more disturbing: a collection of unrelated predators using the same isolated highway system and vast stretches of western wilderness to prey on vulnerable women, with investigators initially mistaking the similarities for the work of one man.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

A school bus driver in Circleville, Ohio was told in block letters to end an affair or her husband would die, and he did. Decades later a New Jersey couple paid $1.3 million for 657 Boulevard and never spent a night there, because a stranger signing himself The Watcher kept writing to ask about the "young blood" in the house.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/circlevilleREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2ycj6492FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Two stories of people living ordinary lives being terrorized by threatening, creepy letters in the mail.

Her husband Ron Gillespie got one ordering him to end the affair or die, and on August 19, 1977, after a phone call whose contents Mary never learned, Ron grabbed his pistol, drove off, and struck a tree at a nearby intersection. Police found the gun had been fired once, the postmortem showed his blood alcohol at 1.5 times the legal limit despite friends describing him as a teetotaler, and the crash was ruled an accident. The letters resumed and spread to elected officials, and in 1983 Mary pulled over her bus to tear down a sign threatening her daughter and found a box rigged with a booby-trapped pistol that failed to fire. Police traced the gun to her brother-in-law Paul Freshour, who was convicted of attempted murder on the strength of a disputed handwriting test despite an alibi. The letters kept coming from Columbus for the entire decade Freshour sat in prison, one of them mailed to Freshour himself, and six months after his release, when Unsolved Mysteries aired the case, the network received its own note signed The Circleville Writer.From there the episode moves to Westfield, New Jersey, where Derek and Maria Broaddus paid $1.3 million for 657 Boulevard in June 2014 and found a letter in the mailbox before they'd moved in, addressed to the new owner and signed The Watcher. The writer claimed his grandfather had watched the house in the 1920s and his father in the 1960s, named the Honda minivan out front, knew the ages and nicknames of the couple's three children, and asked whether the house would be filled with "young blood." Later letters described which bedrooms faced the street and asked whether the children would be afraid to play alone in the basement. Westfield police questioned the Langford family next door, a private investigator and a former FBI agent named Robert Lenehan built profiles, and a DNA test on one envelope came back female but matched no suspect. The Broadduses never spent a night in the house, sued the previous owners John and Andrea Woods over a similar letter received days before closing, and were denied permission to subdivide the lot in 2017. Two weeks after renters moved in, a fourth letter arrived promising car accidents, fires, and dead pets, and the case remains unsolved with the house still in the family's hands.
