Some fates are worse than death. One such fate—physically melting into a couch, with flesh fusing to the fabric—was absolutely agonizing and tragically endured by a 36-year-old woman named Lacey Fletcher. Lacey faced various challenges that made her entirely dependent upon her parents, Sheila and Clay. However, instead of providing the necessary medical and psychological support that Lacey needed, her parents allowed her to slowly (and painfully) die before their very eyes. Immobile, nonverbal, and unable to call for help, Lacey was at the mercy of two merciless people who allowed maggots to feed off her dying flesh while she was still alive. This case probes deep into the darkest aspects of human nature, where those expected to protect and nurture by virtue of blood and love instead became instruments of outrageous suffering.

"For those of you who don’t know what hell is like, you will find out." These were the foreboding words a prosecutor uttered in 1981, moments before playing 17 harrowing minutes of audio that documented the appalling abuse of a 16-year-old girl. The courtroom was enveloped in grief, with many in tears or compelled to leave…all except for Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, the two perpetrators responsible for the suffering. Known as “The Toolbox Killers,” this infamous serial killer team sat unfazed, even smiling, as their victim's screams filled the room, a stark testament to their depravity. Responsible for the torture and murder of five teenage girls in California, Bitaker and Norris's actions truly represent the epitome of human cruelty. Their heartbreaking, calculated torment of their victims before their deaths is the stuff of nightmares. TRIGGER WARNING: This case is very graphic in nature and may be difficult to listen to.

On what began as a seemingly ordinary afternoon on September 20, 2017, a dense cloud of smoke suddenly enveloped the affluent Southfields neighborhood in Wimbledon, London, casting an ominous veil over the area that signaled the start of an unforeseen and chilling scene. Firefighters, responding to what they initially believed was a routine call about a backyard bonfire gone awry, made a harrowing discovery as they worked to extinguish the flames: dismembered human fingers and a charred nose. The investigation into identifying the incinerated remains culminated in a disturbing revelation that sent shockwaves throughout Europe. Because it became clear that Sophie Lionnet, an innocent 21-year-old French au pair, died a brutal death at the twisted hands of her depraved host parents, Sabrina Kouider and Ouissem "Sam" Medouni. Despite Sabrina's Hollywood-esque exterior and love for the lime light, her inner world was fraught with turmoil, manipulation, and chaos—a stark contrast that ultimately lead to the torture and tragic death of an innocent young woman.

In an act that defied all notions of humanity and sanity, a 19-year-old college student named Austin Harrouff viciously stabbed and cannibalized an innocent couple living in Jupiter, Florida. When police arrived at the horrific scene in August of 2016, Austin was discovered swallowing and spitting out chunks of flesh from one of his victim's faces in an act so horrific, that it seemed to be the manifestation of the darkest depths of human depravity.  This grotesque display of violence, however, cannot be detached from the significant role that Austin's mental health played in precipitating these brutal actions. Prior to this devastating event, there were indicators of Austin's deteriorating psychological state, hinting at a profound struggle within. This devastating case forces us to confront questions about the intersection of mental illness and extreme violence, and urges a deeper examination of how society addresses mental health, particularly among the youth, and the mechanisms in place to prevent such tragedies from unfolding.

In the second installment of our exploration into Canada's most prolific serial killer, Robert "Willy" Pickton, we reach the harrowing climax of over a decade of unspeakable acts, and unveil the downfall of a truly vile man. We delve into the twisted psyche of Robert Pickton, probing the depths of human depravity to understand how a person could embody such evil. The ensuing investigation, the most extensive in Canadian history, not only uncovered the grim reality of his crimes but also sparked a long-overdue overhaul of law enforcement practices in the wake of this soul-shattering case. The voices of the 49 "invisible" Indigenous women and sex workers, silenced and marginalized, finally resonated through the corridors of justice as the true horror of their fates was brought into the light, honored, and mourned. Yet, as we dissect the intricacies of this case, a chilling question lingers: Did Robert Pickton face the full extent of justice? Especially since recent headlines suggest the alarming possibility that he might once again walk freely among us after all these years...

In the first installment of our in-depth look at Robert "Willy" Pickton, Canada's most prolific serial killer, we delve into the dark and tragic saga of 49 innocent women who met their untimely deaths in the most horrific ways imaginable. These victims, who were pushed to the fringes of society by poverty, addiction, and the necessity of survival sex work, fell prey to a merciless killer who leveraged their societal invisibility and capitalized on the police's glaring indifference and neglect. Part 1 of our two-part series kicks off our deep examination of this horrific case (which sparked the largest serial killer investigation in Canadian history), while simultaneously honoring the memory of the silenced victims. Because the tragedy of these "invisible" women extends beyond their brutal murders, as Robert Pickton further desecrated their remains by feeding them to the pigs on his farm. PLEASE LISTEN WITH CAUTION.

Courtney Clenney, better known as Courtney Tailor to millions of her followers and paying subscribers on social media, catapulted to fame with her seductive photos and explicit content on OnlyFans and Instagram. Yet, beyond this curated online persona, Courtney harbored an extremely volatile nature, as well as an alleged addiction to alcohol and recreational drugs. Deeply entwined in a toxic relationship with her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, Courtney is said to have been the driving force behind a severe pattern of intimate partner violence in which she perpetrated ongoing physical, emotional, psychological, and verbal abuse towards Christian. Their toxic relationship, marred by documented instances of overt violence and aggressive rage, reached a tragic climax in 2022 when Courtney decided to plunge a knife into Christian's body and watch as he bled to death. This devastating act of brutality not only claimed an innocent life in a horrific manner, but permanently pierced the veneer of Courtney's carefully crafted persona to reveal a truly disturbing perpetrator lurking beneath.

Unveiling the story of Mexico's first documented serial killer, Juana Barazza, presents a narrative steeped in stark contrasts and harrowing realities. At the age of 48, this single mother's life was shadowed by a disturbing past filled with horrific childhood abuse and sexual exploitation. Juana's journey as an adult was a vivid study in contradictions: In the public eye, she was celebrated as "La Dama del Silencio" ("The Lady of Silence"), a formidable figure in the vibrant world of Lucha Libre wrestling. However, beneath the facade of her elaborate mask, a sinister truth lurked. Juana was a heartless assassin, implicated in the tragic deaths of nearly 50 elderly women. Despite her notable achievements in the wrestling arena, Juana Barazza's legacy is irreversibly tainted, overshadowed by the grim moniker "La Mataviejitas" (The Little Old Lady Killer).

On Valentine's Day 2013, a truly devastating tragedy unfolded: Reeva Steenkamp, a 29-year-old South African former model, TV personality, and law graduate, adored for her vibrant spirit, was brutally gunned down in her boyfriend's bathroom. The scene that law enforcement encountered was one of stark and shocking contrast: beside Reeva's bloodied and broken form stood none other than global icon Oscar Pistorius, the internationally acclaimed Olympic and Paralympic sprinter. At 27-years-old, Pistorius, an athlete with both legs amputated below the knee, earned global acclaim as "The Blade Runner." His extraordinary athleticism and determination defied the odds and inspired millions worldwide. Yet, in this harrowing moment, Pistorius transformed in the public eye from a celebrated figure to a cold-blooded killer, ominously dubbed "The Blade Gunner." The case sent shockwaves around the world as people grappled with the horrifying descent of a beloved hero into an infamous murderer.

Wrongful accusation and conviction is a living nightmare, a devastating storm of confusion, fear, and disbelief that tears at one's soul and destroys the human spirit. False accusations cut deep, transforming the world into an alien landscape where truth fades and your voice, crying out in innocence, is drowned out by the roar of judgment in a deeply flawed legal system. In the U.S., thousands suffer from wrongful convictions in a system where innocence, though fundamental, is often overshadowed. In this episode, we explore the tragic case of Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, a young woman who suffered a horrific rape, and the ensuing devastation when Ronald Cotton, an innocent man, was wrongfully convicted for this heinous crime. TRIGGER WARNING: Please note that we discuss the difficult topic of sexual assault and rape, and urge you to listen with caution.

"The Joker," a pinnacle of cinematic villainy, has been an emblem of unadulterated chaos for nearly a century. This character is the very personification of turmoil and lawlessness, marked by a deranged psyche and a telltale, sinister smile. In a chilling parallel to this fictional entity, Jamie Osuna, a real-life criminal bearing a permanent smile tattooed on his face, manifested a similarly distorted moral compass and taste for destruction. Osuna reveled in orchestrating death and devastation and destroying the lives of those around him. While not explicitly emulating The Joker, Osuna's sadistic actions exhibited a similar level of unpredictability and malevolence. He was responsible for heinous acts of violence, including torture, homicide, dismemberment, and decapitation, and left a trail of horror reminiscent of the menacing essence of The Joker.

In the early 1990s, the quiet town of Beelitz, Germany was haunted by a grotesque and horrifying figure known as “The Beast of Beelitz.” This serial killer preyed upon innocent and unsuspecting victims, and subjected them to unspeakable acts of violence before taking their lives. His depravity knew no bounds as he sought to fulfill his twisted desires, which did not end with his victims’ tragic deaths, but continued postmortem as he desecrated their bodies in unimaginably vile ways. Furthermore, “The Beast of Beelitz” added a deeply disturbing layer to his heinous acts by wearing women's underwear during these appalling crimes, and then intentionally evacuating his bowels to satisfy a perverse sexual fetish. Needless to say, “The Beat of Beelitz”  went on to become one of the most gruesome serial killers in German criminal history.

In the heart of New Orleans' vibrant French Quarter, the catastrophic case of Addie Hall and Zach Bowen unfolded as a tragic narrative of love descending into darkness. Zack, a former soldier and war veteran, struggled with PTSD and addiction, a turbulent backdrop to his volatile relationship with Addie.

As we delve into the sensitive and taboo subject of incest, particularly focusing on a devastating father/daughter scenario in Poland, we face a complex and challenging aspect of victimology: when victims of abuse or trauma become perpetrators themselves. This scenario calls into question the cyclical nature of violence, the psychological impact of trauma, and how it can warp an individual's moral compass. In the unsettling case before us, marked by incest, abuse, and multiple homicides, the line between victim and perpetrator blurs, complicating our notions of empathy, accountability, and culpability. This case is a truly disturbing narrative that defies simple categorization and evokes a complex blend of horror, disgust, empathy, and confusion, while prompting a deep and emotional examination of the human psyche.

Dolls, those eerie, lifeless figures designed to mimic human form, occupy a strange and unsettling place in our psyche, often stirring a blend of intrigue and fear. As rational adults, we typically view dolls as mere objects made of plastic, porcelain, or other synthetic materials. But...what if a doll was not made out of artificial elements? What if the doll was, in actuality, human? This horrifying case delves into the nightmarish world of a twisted 55-year-old Russian man named Anatoly Moskvin, who harbored a disturbing penchant for digging up and “immortalizing” dead children by turning them into dolls.

On what was meant to be a festive and joyous holiday on Christmas Day in 2010, Pierre and Jacqueline Bamu, a Congolese couple living in Paris, faced an unimaginable tragedy. Rather than unwrapping presents and opening boxes, they were confronted with the heartbreaking task of opening their 15-year-old son's coffin. This heart-wrenching tragedy unfolded when their precious son, Kristy, was discovered lifeless in the bathroom of his sister's apartment in London. Kristy's body bore the gruesome marks of extreme violence and cruelty, a grim testament to the horrors he endured over the course of three brutal days in his sister's apartment, which somehow turned into a nightmarish torture chamber. Unbelievably, Kristy's tragic fate did not result from the actions of an unidentified assailant or a random serial killer on the loose. Instead, he met an unimaginably cruel and shocking end at the hands of his own family, after they accused him of being a witch. This devastating case stands as one of the most appalling instances of child abuse ever documented in British history; we urge you to listen with caution.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: psychopediapod@gmail.com Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com The co-hosts of this podcast were not present at the time(s) of the events described.  Consequently, the information contained in this podcast was obtained from third-party resources and research which we relied upon.  As such, we are unable to guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, usefulness and/or  timeliness of the content(s) of this podcast, and assume no liability for any errors and/or omissions as to such content, and/or any offered opinions and/or comments.

The case of Alex Skeel highlights a gut-wrenching story of domestic abuse that unfolded in the UK. Alex, a young man in his teens/early twenties, suffered years of horrific physical, emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse at the hands of his depraved girlfriend, Jordan Worth. Alex sustained absolutely brutal physical injuries, psychological torment, and devastating isolation as Jordan wielded absolute control over every facet of his entire existence…until he almost ceased to exist entirely.  Just ten days aways from death, Alex's profoundly disturbing case serves as a stark reminder of the often-overlooked plight of male victims within the realm of domestic violence. It compels us to confront the pressing need for greater awareness and understanding surrounding this issue, and underscores the vital importance of acknowledging and addressing all manifestations of abuse that can fester within intimate relationships.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: psychopediapod@gmail.com Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com The co-hosts of this podcast were not present at the time(s) of the events described.  Consequently, the information contained in this podcast was obtained from third-party resources and research which we relied upon.  As such, we are unable to guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, usefulness and/or  timeliness of the content(s) of this podcast, and assume no liability for any errors and/or omissions as to such content, and/or any offered opinions and/or comments.

In August of 1982, within the confines of a Hong Kong photo development shop, a gruesome sequence of images emerged from a roll of film. It began with a lifeless, naked woman sprawled on a plastic sheet atop a carpeted floor. However, as the film continued to develop, a macabre series of obscene pictures surfaced, featuring close-ups of the victim's intimate areas, cuts on her flesh, and what appeared to be a horrifying human dissection. The most haunting image, however, was the last one—a vivid portrayal of a severed, mutilated breast sitting beside a blood-soaked chainsaw. This is the chilling tale of Lam Kor-Wan, Hong Kong's first known serial killer, also known as "The Rainy Night Butcher," who meticulously destroyed, dissected, dismembered and preserved his victims' sexual organs in plastic containers beneath his bed. His horrific actions cemented Lam Kor-Wan as one of the most depraved individuals to have ever walked among us.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: psychopediapod@gmail.com Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com The co-hosts of this podcast were not present at the time(s) of the events described.  Consequently, the information contained in this podcast was obtained from third-party resources and research which we relied upon.  As such, we are unable to guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, usefulness and/or  timeliness of the content(s) of this podcast, and assume no liability for any errors and/or omissions as to such content, and/or any offered opinions and/or comments.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Instead, they ensnare you in a nightmarish bureaucratic nightmare fraught with trauma, isolation, and physical, emotional, and psychological pain. Now, place a 10-year-old girl grappling with a severe illness at the center of this chilling narrative. In this episode, we delve into the profoundly devastating case of Maya Kowalski, who was effectively medically kidnapped and confined within a Florida hospital, and barred from seeing her parents for months.

In this week's episode we are joined by special guest, true crime podcaster, writer, producer and on-camera talent, Alexis Linkletter. In life's grand theater, none of us anticipates being thrust into the spotlight of a terrifying, real-life crime story. The thin line between safety and peril can vanish in a heartbeat, leaving any one of us susceptible to the unpredictable twists of fate and the insatiable appetite of a lurking predator. Tragically, the heartbreaking case of Becky Koster exemplifies this very concept. At the young age of 24, beautiful Becky encountered a depraved stranger while she was out at a bar with her friends one night on Long Island. Suddenly, Becky found herself at the center of the heartbreaking and absolutely brutal tale of her own murder. By examining forensic findings and the investigative efforts of multi-state law enforcement agencies, we delve deeply into this chilling case with the hope of illuminating Becky's life and, in turn, the lives of all victims of violence.

Accused of murdering 16-year-old Martha Puebla, Juan Catalan's life took a terrifying turn in an unexpected direction that nearly led him to face a capital punishment trial. But the most astonishing turn in this narrative occurred when Juan's alibi for the night of the murder unexpectedly materialized in the form of Larry David, the acclaimed comedian and creator of "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." This case serves as a testament to the potency of truth and the far-reaching impact of the butterfly effect, demonstrating how a seemingly unrelated incident can have profound - and potentially devastating - consequences.

This episode presents a truly haunting case that delves deep into the dark recesses of human desire, where risky sexual behavior intersects with psychological depravity. It unearths a chilling narrative involving BDSM and "bloodplay," intertwining elements of niche sexual behaviors and violence within an ordinary suburban backdrop in Massachusetts. This outlandish case not only highlights the complexities of the perpetrator's unique sexual appetite, but also the terrifying ease with which she planned and executed a truly heinous crime against an innocent man. As we navigate the intricate web of this case, we explore topics relating to fetishism, criminal behavior, and mental health, all while remembering the innocent life taken by a truly disturbed individual.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: psychopediapod@gmail.com Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com     The co-hosts of this podcast were not present at the time(s) of the events described.  Consequently, the information contained in this podcast was obtained from third-party resources and research which we relied upon.  As such, we are unable to guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, usefulness and/or  timeliness of the content(s) of this podcast, and assume no liability for any errors and/or omissions as to such content, and/or any offered opinions and/or comments.

The case of Sister Tadea Benz and Johnny Frank Garrett is a haunting chapter in legal history that unfolded on a chilling Halloween night in 1981 in Amarillo, Texas.  Unfurling like a gripping saga of vengeance and justice, this heart-wrenching incident revolved around the savage slaying of Sister Tadea Benz, a cherished 76-year-old nun, and the alleged involvement of a 17-year-old perpetrator named Johnny Frank Garrett.  Oscillating between dubious claims and the absence of concrete evidence, this case raised significant doubts concerning allegations of police and attorney misconduct, while also shedding light on the formidable influence of social hysteria, most notably, the Satanic Panic.  Johnny Frank Garrett's swift conviction and subsequent death penalty sentence added an extremely dark layer to this complex and tragic story, and continues to raise haunting questions about guilt, innocence, and the blurred lines between justice and vengeance which still resonates today, decades after the final gavel fell.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: psychopediapod@gmail.com Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com     The co-hosts of this podcast were not present at the time(s) of the events described.  Consequently, the information contained in this podcast was obtained from third-party resources and research which we relied upon.  As such, we are unable to guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, usefulness and/or  timeliness of the content(s) of this podcast, and assume no liability for any errors and/or omissions as to such content, and/or any offered opinions and/or comments.

In November 1991, the world was thrust into shock and disbelief as the gruesome details of a heinous crime unfolded before them. At the center of this horrifying tale stood Omaima Nelson, a former Egyptian-born model, whose appalling choices ultimately drew comparisons to notorious figures like Jeffrey Dahmer. On the heels of suffering unimaginable abuse and violence as a child, Omaima’s adult life was marked by a spectacle of dismemberment, cannibalism, and grotesque behavior that left both investigators and the public in a state of absolute disbelief.  Intriguing, horrifying, and deeply unsettling, this disturbing case is considered one of the most gruesome crimes ever committed in Orange County, California.

The tragic murder of 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart, often referred to as the "Scream Murder," centers around a terrifying "life imitating art" crime that occurred in Pocatello, Idaho in 2006. Cassie, who was known for her vivacity and zest for life, was house-sitting in a remote location on a September night when, unbeknownst to her, a diabolical plan was set in motion by two of her high school classmates.  Driven by an obsession with violent films and a desire for notoriety, these ruthless teenage savages methodically devised and carried out an exceedingly violent murder, drawing inspiration from the movie "Scream" and documenting many of their sinister actions along the way. What transpired on that fateful September night was a harrowing and senseless act of brutality in which an innocent young girl, Cassie, fell victim to an unimaginably horrific death.  Please listen with caution.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: psychopediapod@gmail.com Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com     The co-hosts of this podcast were not present at the time(s) of the events described.  Consequently, the information contained in this podcast was obtained from third-party resources and research which we relied upon.  As such, we are unable to guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, usefulness and/or  timeliness of the content(s) of this podcast, and assume no liability for any errors and/or omissions as to such content, and/or any offered opinions and/or comments.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In the second installment of our two-part series delving into the depraved life of serial killer Israel Keyes, we turn our attention to the chilling escalation of this elusive "phantom psychopath." For years, he ran circles around law enforcement, ruthlessly and tragically selecting his victims at random with unparalleled precision and attention to detail. However, there came a point when this malevolent individual lost his meticulous touch and faltered after committing an unspeakable act of cruelty against a young woman working at an Alaskan coffee stand. At long last, Israel Keyes' reign of terror came to an end. And the FBI interrogation that transpired after his apprehension, coupled with the dramatic, enigmatic, and truly shocking final chapter, provided an absolutely outrageous conclusion to this horrific case.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: psychopediapod@gmail.com Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com     The co-hosts of this podcast were not present at the time(s) of the events described.  Consequently, the information contained in this podcast was obtained from third-party resources and research which we relied upon.  As such, we are unable to guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, usefulness and/or  timeliness of the content(s) of this podcast, and assume no liability for any errors and/or omissions as to such content, and/or any offered opinions and/or comments.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In the depraved world of serial killers, Israel Keyes stands out as a chilling enigma. While he may not be a trending household name like Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy, this self-proclaimed "hunter" of humans was once regarded by the FBI as one of the most terrifying individuals they had ever encountered. Keyes meticulously planned and executed a series of brutal murders across the United States, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and hidden horrors. Known for his unique ability to blend seamlessly into society, Keyes was a master manipulator whose crimes remained undetected for an entire decade. This cold-blooded predator's case continues to baffle investigators and offers a disturbing glimpse into the mind of a remorseless, highly organized, and efficient serial killer.

For many, the idea of family is often seen as a reliable wellspring of love and support.  However, in the case of the Mauerova family from the Czech Republic, the concept of family takes a different turn.  Instead of being a source of safety, comfort, and unconditional love, their family became a danger zone characterized by profound suffering, twisted perversion, and unfathomable torture.  In today's case we explore a family shrouded in extraordinary secrecy, manipulation, control, and brutality.  Their unique form of cruelty encompassed cults, confinement, cages, and even cannibalism, intertwined with elements of religious mysticism, delusions, and identity theft.  There is A LOT to unpack with this case and many complex avenues to explore.  Please listen to this episode with caution, as the subject matter is truly devastating and may be difficult to hear.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: psychopediapod@gmail.com Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

For nearly a full year between June 2015 and June 2016, the neonatal unit at Countess of Chester Hospital in England was plagued by a series of heart-wrenching and inexplicable infant deaths at a rate that was not just alarming, but also statistically unusual and significant.  Tragically, newborn baby fatalities and/or near-death collapses were occuring abruptly and often, and crucially, under the care and supervision of one young nurse named Lucy Letby. As the expression goes:  once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern. Seventeen times (at least) is the work of the most prolific child serial killer in modern UK history.

Pedro Rodrigues Filho, known as “The Brazilian Dexter,” was a real-life, self-proclaimed vigilante serial killer once referred to as the “perfect psychopath.”  This ruthless individual ranks in the top 5 serial killers of all time globally, and by his own estimate was responsible for taking the lives of over 100 drug dealers, criminals, rapists, and murderers. While Pedro was undoubtedly brutal and capable of committing absolute atrocities against other men, he was often thanked, celebrated, and deemed morally righteous.   This case provides a deep-dive into the outlandishly savage life and actions of a violent perpetrator (or vigilante, depending on who you ask) who served as the inspiration behind the media sensation/award winning character, Dexter Morgan.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: psychopediapod@gmail.com Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In the 1980s, Gary Heidnik ran a church out of his home in Philadelphia with fifty devout congregants professing their unwavering loyalty. Flaunting multiple flashy cars and a considerable bank account accumulated through the contributions of his vulnerable devotees, this spiritual leader ensured that all adherents remained committed to his teachings and, crucially, perpetually subordinate.  However, it was the tragic plight of a group of enslaved women kept in Heidnik’s basement beneath his church that would ultimately catapult this despicable individual into infamy, and would later serve as the perverse inspiration behind the notorious cinematic character Buffalo Bill from "The Silence of the Lambs."  Heidnik subjected his female captives to the horrors of ongoing sexual enslavement, severe physical abuse, and twisted psychological torment.   If you’ve seen the literal horror movie based on this tragic case, you might believe you are prepared for the extent of the moral corruption and depravity at play. However, we urge you to exercise discretion while listening, as the gruesome and heartbreaking acts addressed in this episode surpass any portrayal a Hollywood production could possibly convey.  PLEASE LISTEN WITH CAUTION!

When a woman in Texas was pulled over for driving erratically, the state trooper on duty was shocked to discover a newborn baby laying across the lap of the distressed driver.  The driver explained to the officer that she had just given birth in her car and required medical assistance right away. However, upon arriving at the hospital, it became shockingly evident that the woman's body did not display any indication whatsoever of having recently given birth.  In a horrifying revelation, it was determined that the excessive blood covering the woman's skin and clothing had clearly come from someone else's body......as had the baby.  This is the absolutely heinous case of death row inmate Taylor Renee Parker, also known as "The Womb Raider."

Love can drive people to engage in some pretty outlandish behavior.  So can meth.  The convergence of these two potent elements in today’s case led to the absolutely tragic and brutal death of a 25 year old Wisconsin man named Shad Thyrion. The degree of horror in this case, ranging from decapitation to dismemberment, and the police being compelled to participate in a chilling scavenger hunt for missing body parts, makes it almost difficult to believe that such a heartbreaking reality could be true.  Sadly, this atrocious crime was indeed committed by a woman named Taylor Schabusiness, who not only meticulously executed each heinous act detailed in this episode, but also claimed to have enjoyed it.  Please listen with caution!   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: psychopediapod@gmail.com Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Javed Iqbal is undeniably one of the most prolific and horrifying serial killers in history. Yet surprisingly, his name remains relatively unknown to many. This merciless individual managed to perpetrate unspeakable violence against 100 vulnerable children living on the streets of Lahore, Pakistan, with little notice from the authorities. Tragically, Javed subjected this powerless demographic of children to unthinkable brutality, whose plight went largely unnoticed until it quite literally wound up on the door of law enforcement. As we delve into the psychological and gruesome motivations behind Javed Iqbal's actions, we shed light on the young victims who were tragically considered "invisible" and unworthy of protection when they needed it the most. The only solace for some is the "eye for an eye" sentence that Javed Iqbal was ultimately given...

Transport yourself back to childhood for a moment and picture yourself asleep on the couch. The light from the TV is flickering behind your closed eyes and you're only vaguely aware, yet fully content with the fact that you're still on the couch rather than in your bed. Now imagine yourself being carried off the couch in the middle of the night by someone you assume to be your parent bringing you to your room, but then feel confused by the sudden and expected sight of outdoor surroundings.  With concern growing, you look up at the person carrying you to realize.....it's a complete stranger. And a sadistic, cruel, psychopathic one at that.    This was the nightmarish reality that faced 13-year-old Thad Phillips in 1995 when he was abducted from his home in the middle of the night by one of the most depraved human beings to ever exist, Joe Clark. With a fetish for hearing the sound of bones cracking, Joe forced 13-year-old Thad to endure 43 hours of absolute hell so that he could indulge in his sick and twisted pleasure.  This case is horrific and devastatingly gruesome (please listen with caution) but has a truly astounding outcome.  Do not miss it!

In this week's episode we are joined by special guest, comedian Mark Normand. When a grown man with a ruptured colon, blue lips, and a fading pulse crawled through the doors of a hospital in Washington state, doctors immediately suspected foul play given the unique nature of his injury. Following this man's tragic death, an official investigation ensued, leading law enforcement to make a truly outlandish discovery. The man's colon had been ruptured by an extremely large penis that entered his body during a "niche" sex act. And while the well-endowed perpetrator was indeed responsible for causing his partner's death, he could not be held legally accountable in any jurisdiction under the existing legal frameworks. And that's because the perpetrator of this absolutely outrageous crime....was a horse.   We are delving into the highly disturbing and legally significant case of the Enumclaw horse sex ring.  Brace yourself as we explore the intriguing and unsettling realm of taboo sexual paraphilias and the individuals who seek to engage in high-risk, and often criminal behavior to satisfy an incredibly unique sexual appetite.

While all acts of violence and cruelty directed at innocent individuals are condemnable, certain cases distinguish themselves as particularly macabre, even within the realm of the most heinous offenses.  This case falls into that category.  Jerry Brudos, an American serial killer and necrophiliac, developed an obsession with high heel shoes at a young age. The profound psychological harm inflicted upon him during his childhood by his cruel mother combined with his high heel fixation, ultimately drove Jerry Brudos to commit unspeakable acts of barbarity against innocent women.  Earning himself the title “Shoe Fetish Slayer,” this individual is, without question, one of the most evil psychopathic killers we’ve explored to date.  Prepare yourself...

When 15-year-old Mary Vincent stuck her thumb out along the side of a road in Berkley, California, her hope was to hitch a ride away from her strict parents towards a new beginning. Mary was positively thrilled when a grandfatherly looking man in a truck pulled up beside her and offered to drive her exactly where she wanted to go. But when the driver veered off route and instead drove Mary, who was suddenly now his captive, to a completely isolated desert in the pitch black of night, she knew in her gut that her life was in danger. And when her captor removed a hatchet from his toolkit, this young girl's life was forever, and irrevocably, altered in the most horrific of ways. Because the man who so kindly offered Mary Vincent a free ride just hours earlier was none other than Larry Singleton, more famously known as the "Mad Chopper." And the heinous acts of sexual violence and mutilation inflicted on this innocent teenage girl is truly what nightmares are made of. But incredibly, this story does not exactly end the way you might have expected it to. Do not miss this case....it is as miraculous as it is terrifying.

This headlining case of the England-based TikTok star Mahek Bukhari, which is being tried in court NOW (at the time in which this episode was recorded), is truly astonishing.  The twists and turns involved in this outrageous case are mind-blowing and reveal the grave lengths that this social media figure has taken in order to preserve her spotlight on the global stage.  We've all seen the tremendous reach that social influencers have today.  It’s difficult to avoid their kitschy ads (pumpkin spiced latte in hand) pushing skincare products, weight loss supplements, detox teas, and the answer to all of our prayers.  Whether through video reels, stories, posts or live streams, the public is inundated with social influencers trying to....well, influence us. And those who are able to do this successfully stand to make millions of dollars through brand sponsorships and advertisements.  As such, the stakes are high and many would likely do whatever it takes to stay on top.  Sadly, this notion was made abundantly clear by Bukhari who, in February of 2022, was involved in a double-homicide along with multiple other defendants, including her own mother.  Two young lives were tragically lost in a horrific manner as a result of Bukhari's effort to bury some delicate information that stood to threaten, damage or even destroy her public image.  We'll walk you through the facts of this case, the players involved, and the progress of the trial...because it is truly devastating.  Stay current with us on this one and tune in to hear about an Influencer Gone Wild.

To the outside world, Shelly Knotek presented like the perfect mother.  She had three lovely daughters, cheerful family photos covering every wall of their farmhouse, and a glowing smile for anyone who glanced in her direction.  But then, psychopaths are known to be master manipulators.  Because Shelly's three lovely daughters were quite literally dying inside.  The cheerful photos on the walls were stage props.  And the smile that Shelly expertly presented was nothing more than a mask she wore to disguise a predatory grin.  Shelly subjected her daughters, as well as many of their houseguests, to unrelenting physical violence, sexual abuse, psychological torture...and sometimes, death.  Her goal was to humiliate her subjects in a variety of cruel and unusual ways, and to break them down in such a way that would enable her to maintain absolute power and control.  Shelly was like a twisted puppetmaster out of a nightmare...and she was absolutely RUTHLESS.  Check out this outrageous case, and please listen with caution!

Patrick Mackay, known as the Devil's Disciple, is one scary motherf*cker.  Labeled a psychopath at age 15 (before ever even killing anyone), Patrick grew up to become one of the most prolific serial killers of all time in the United Kingdom.  His rise to terror was riddled with bouts of domestic violence, cruel and unusual treatment of animals, burglaries, alcohol abuse, inadequate mental health treatment, and roast chicken.  Patrick confessed to murdering thirteen people, including a priest, and was enthralled by Nazism.  A real gem!  Do not miss the brutal, tragic, and fascinating case of Britain's longest serving prisoner.

Some believe that love is the result of divine intervention, fate, or cosmic design.  Others feel it has more to do with luck or sexy hormones.  But the couple featured in this completely stomach-turning case feel that love has everything to do with sharing the same DNA.  Yup.  The romantic relationship that existed between 43 year old Steven (dad) and 20 year old Katie (daughter) is just one of the many, many shocking elements of this highly disturbing and incredibly tragic true crime case.  Because first came love, then came marriage, then came triple-homicide, then came suicide.   Instagram: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Email: psychopediapod@gmail.com Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Parenthood is tricky.  Do too much for your child, and you’re a helicopter parent; do too little, and your kid lacks sufficient support.  Finding the right balance is an art…or in this case, witchcraft.  Leonarda Cianciulli was a serial killer and black magic practitioner from Italy who devoted her entire life to protecting her son from a damning curse she truly believed would kill him.  Can we really fault a mother for doing whatever she thinks it will take to save her child from evil?  Yes, yes we can, because Leonarda’s depraved, immoral, and unlawful acts were (mis)guided by her belief in the “law of equivalent exchange;” that is, to save her son’s life, she'd have to take another life.  Leonarda’s maternal drive led her directly towards a very sharp ax, ritualistic human sacrifice, and cannibalism.      Instagram: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater   TikTok: @psychopediapod   Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

On May 31, 2014 in the backwoods of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls violently plunged a kitchen knife into their best friend nineteen times before leaving her alone to bleed out and die.   The young assailants claimed that they were forced to murder "someone they loved" in order to prevent Slenderman - an evil, mythical, online urban legend - from harming their families. In an outrageous and heartbreaking act of premeditated brutality, three young lives were forever changed, causing a seismic shockwave to tear through the nation as people were forced to confront the dangers of the Internet and the frightening capabilities of two children unable to determine fact from fiction.

The perfect true crime case highlighting the complex and dark nature of the human psyche doesn’t exi—  Yes, yes it does exist, and you’ve just landed on it. This fascinating case centers around an individual who meticulously choreographed her own murder for the ultimate (and final) sexual experience.  Sharon Lopatka was both perpetrator and victim, predator and prey.  She was one of the first people to capitalize on a new information system known as the World Wide Web, and mastered how to use it for both monetary and personal gain. Sharon created multiple aliases and joined various online fetish forums to satisfy all of her incredibly unique, and dangerous, sexual needs.  From her desire of being force fed and cannibalized to posing as a 300 pound disciplinarian dominatrix offering to crush men like bugs, this case is as disturbing as it is tragic.

In Part 1 of this gruesome case, we were introduced to the Toy Box Killer and to some of the ways in which he tortured his victims inside a soundproof, escape-proof cargo trailer (known as the "toy box") kept on his property in Elephant Butte, New Mexico.  Alarmingly, what we’ve heard until this point has only scratched the surface.  Part 2 of this case explains, in full detail, all of the additional (and disturbing) ways in which the Toy Box Killer continued to escalate his level of depravity while bringing in a VERY twisted female accomplice to help exact his brutality.  The barbarity displayed inside the "toy box" is matched only by the bravery and strength seen in some of the survivors, whose courageous pursuit of justice helped to finally intercept the heinous reign of the Toy Box Killer.  You will not believe how this case wraps up.

David Parker Ray, more famously known as the Toy Box Killer, fancied himself a highly skilled sexual scientist who would abduct women (thereafter referred to as “pretty pieces of meat”) before inflicting upon them immeasurable pain through sexual experimentation and inhumane torture.  First, he would psychologically break down his victims.  Then, he would violently assault them inside a soundproof trailer referred to as his “toy box,”  using various implements of torture while carefully documenting, filming, and cataloging his observations.  There are so many elements to this twisted case that we’ve organized it into two episodes.  Please listen with caution - this case is truly what nightmares are made of.

When news of this case first emerged, the main star was a missing severed penis.  The supporting role of this highly disturbing saga was played by Lorena Bobbitt, a knife-wielding lunatic who castrated her husband in a fit of jealousy and rage.  Every headline, talk show, comedian and reporter characterized Lorena as being every man’s worst nightmare, and the frightening face of fickle females everywhere.  But the TRUE story behind the infamous penis dismemberment case is far more complex and upsetting than was originally acknowledged.  This is the story of a young immigrant woman who suffered domestic abuse and persistent marital rape, had no escape in sight, and finally snapped (or sliced, as it were).   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

What if we told you that a very small man with a penchant for eating human flesh was allowed to freely roam the streets of Japan as recently as 2022?  And what if we told you that this case involves not only cannibalism, but also necrophilia and vorarephilia?  You’d probably first Google “vorarephilia” and then after that, we'd urge you to press play on this absolutely mental case.

When you think of Ken and Barbie, what comes to mind?  What comes to mind for Tank is that his sister used to chew on their feet until they were all flattened out, but what comes to mind for most people is the “perfect couple.”  You know those people who seem to have it all together? We don’t like those people. But never compare your insides with someone else’s outsides, because while Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka (aka Ken and Barbie) seemed to have it all, this relationship could not have been more dysfunctional…or dangerous.  We don’t want to give details in the description because it might get flagged, but the circumstances of this case will take your breath away.  Instagram + TikTok: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Hans Schmidt wasn’t necessarily set up for success. Whether being forced to perform Catholic masses in a homemade frock by his overbearing mother in Germany, or meeting his buddy at the local slaughterhouse to engage in mutual masturbation, it’s fair to say that Hans had a turbulent and unusual childhood. Even after relocating to New York City years later and becoming an ordained Catholic priest IRL, Father Hans Schmidt continued to live an absolutely insane and less-than-holy existence. When dismembered body parts wrapped in butcher paper started washing up on the Jersey Shore with links to this disturbed man of the cloth, detectives began to unravel one of the most demented psyches they’d ever seen.  And don’t even get us started on what Father Hans Schmidt did with the chicken head...
