  • 432 - The Conman Who Sold the Eiffel Tower - Victor Lustig

    Victor Lustig built a criminal career around elaborate confidence schemes, false identities, forged documents, and an extraordinary ability to convince his victims that the impossible was real.
    In 1925, posing as a French government official, he convinced scrap metal dealer André Poisson that the Eiffel Tower was being secretly dismantled and successfully sold him the rights to tear it down.
    Then after returning to the United States, Lustig became involved in a massive counterfeiting operation that flooded the country with remarkably convincing fake currency while federal agents struggled for years to catch him. His life would eventually include dozens of aliases, an escape from federal custody, a nationwide manhunt, and imprisonment on Alcatraz.

  • 431 - The Loudun Demonic Possessions

    In 1632, an Ursuline convent in Loudun, France, became the center of a terrifying series of events when nuns began reporting apparitions, violent convulsions and demons taking control of their bodies.
    Their exorcisms became public spectacles that drew enormous crowds, as priests desperately tried to identify what, or who was behind the supposed possessions.
    The women eventually pointed to Urbain Grandier, a controversial local priest with powerful enemies, claiming he had used witchcraft to send the demons into them. But as the accusations grew and supposed supernatural evidence began to emerge, so did serious questions about what was actually happening inside the convent and why Urbain had become the man blamed for it all.

  • 430 - The Murder of Elyse Pahler - Satanic Sacrifice

    In the summer of 1995, 15 year old Elyse Pahler was lured from her California home by three teenage boys she knew, unaware they had spent months discussing murder, Satanism and the sacrifice of a virgin.
    Royce Casey, Jacob Delashmutt and Joseph Fiorella, members of a wannabe metal band called "Hatred", believed killing Elyse could appease the Devil, give them power and even make them better musicians. So after leading her to a secluded eucalyptus grove, the boys violently killed Elyse before concealing her body, leaving her family searching for answers for nearly eight months while her killers remained silent.

  • 429 - The Vampire Clan Murders - Rod Ferrell -Part 2

    In 1996, sixteen year old Rod Ferrell led a small group of teenagers who embraced vampire identities, drank one another’s blood and carved symbols into their bodies.
    But when the group travelled from Kentucky to Florida to collect fifteen year old Heather Wendorf, their planned escape to New Orleans took a devastating turn. Heather’s parents, Richard and Ruth Wendorf, were found brutally beaten to death inside their Eustis home, while their youngest daughter had disappeared along with Rod and his friends.
    The investigation that followed soon exposed a disturbing world of blood rituals, animal killings and teenage obsession, while raising a much darker question about where fantasy ended and real violence began.
