EP219: Killing Just for Fun
John Alexander Lawson was born in 1976, and seemed to have a relatively normal upbringing in Clemmons, North Carolina...or at least there seemed to be nothing to indicate why John, at the age of 24 years old, seemed to radically change his personality and his name. He became Pazuzu Algarad. His name was inspired by "The Exorcist" and he claimed his mother was a Satanist (she wasn't). He didn't shower but once a year, and his house became a party house for many people but not for his victims--it was hell on Earth.

Serial killer and gross child molester Joseph Edward Duncan may not be someone whose name rings a bell, but maybe the case that brought him to justice will. The Groene family were enjoying a night at home one evening in May 2005 when Joseph barged his way into their home and murdered members of the family and decided to kidnap the youngest children—9-year-old Shasta, and 8-year-old Dylan. Then he went on the run for several weeks with the siblings and tortured and abused them as he ran from the law.Join us on Facebook and IG: @HARDCORETRUECRIME Web: www.crimesandconsequences.com--------------->Get ad-free early releases of each episode, plus over 180 exclusive Members Only episodes by going to Patreon.com/tntcrimes or joining our Apple Channel on the Apple Podcast App.SOURCES:1) Grunge.com: Inside The Death Of Convicted Serial Killer Joseph Duncan 2) Northwestern.edu: The Sexual Psychopath 3) The Netline: Shasta Groene's story: Her recovery from a horrific abduction - TheNetline4) ABC7 Los Angeles: Serial killer Joseph Edward Duncan, who murdered 10-year-old Anthony Martinez of Riverside County, dies on death row - ABC7 Los Angeles 5) The New York Times: Body of Missing 10-Year-Old Boy Is Found in a Desert in California - The New York Times (nytimes.com) 6) Los Angeles Times: Body Found in Desert Is Abducted Boy's - Los Angeles Times 7) The Seattle Times: Short Lives Of Slain Girls Recalled With Tears, Hugs | The Seattle Times
