John Christie: The Bad Neighbour/Sex Strangler of Notting Hill
3d ago
John Christie: The Bad Neighbour/Sex Strangler of Notting Hill
John Christie was a World War 1 and 2 veteran who lived with his wife Ethel in the bottom floor flat of 10 Rillington Place, a low-income apartment building in London’s Notting Hill district. In the 50s, there was a media storm when one of the tenants living in the same building as John, a man named Timothy Evans, was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and baby daughter - despite claiming innocence. John and his wife were star witnesses in that trial, testifying that their upstairs neighbours, Timothy and his wife, argued constantly and the night before her murder they had heard a loud thud. Timothy was hanged for his crime - and life went back to normal for John and Ethel Christie.That is - until another tenant of 10 Rillington Place made a horrifying discovery: the bodies of six women hidden in the walls, floors and garden of the building. One of the bodies found was Ethel Christie, John’s wife - leading the police to believe that John Christie had murdered her along with the other women hidden in his flat. This respected war veteran was a serial killer - and what he did to his victims is particularly disturbing. With this shocking revelation, many wondered if John Christie had also killed Timothy Evan’s wife and baby years prior, meaning they had hanged an innocent man - a grieving husband and father. John Christie would be dubbed the Sex Strangler of Notting Hill - but had he also framed Timothy for murder? Sources:https://www.grunge.com/669825/the-messed-up-truth-of-serial-killer-john-christie/https://murderpedia.org/male.C/c/christie-john.htmhttps://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/a-timeline-of-john-christies-crimes-and-their-discovery-and-the-bits-rillington-place-missed-out/ https://allthatsinteresting.com/john-christieSupport the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Apr 15 2024
Timothy Evans: A Damning Confession and the Bodies in The Wall
In 1950 Timothy Evans was accused of murdering his wife Beryl, and their baby girl, Geraldine. Timothy, a simple man who couldn’t read or write, lived with his little family in London’s Notting Hill district in the top floor flat. He refuted the accusations, instead claiming that it was actually his downstairs neighbour, John Christie, who killed his wife and daughter during a botched home abortion.John Christie was a World War 1 and 2 veteran who lived in the ground floor flat with his wife, Ethel. He would serve as the chief prosecutor’s witness during Timothy’s murder trial, where Timothy was ultimately convicted and sentenced to hang. But just three years after Timothy’s execution, a shocking discovery would be made. Bodies would be discovered in the walls and under the floorboards of John’s ground-floor flat.Had Timothy been telling the truth about his neighbour being the real killer? Was this respected war veteran, John Christie, actually a serial killer, who framed Timothy for murder? And what impact would all of this have on England’s justice system? Sources:https://criminology.research.southwales.ac.uk/criminology-blog/tragic-life-and-death-timothy-evans/https://home.heinonline.org/blog/2021/09/crime-of-the-century-the-case-of-timothy-evans/https://www.madeinmanchester.tv/timothy-evansVisit Our Sponsor:Visit http://www.310nutrition.com and use the code “NAPPER” for 50% up to $100 for your first order.Support the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Lauren Hugelmaier: It Wasn't the Cough Medicine

Lauren Hugelmaier: It Wasn't the Cough Medicine
In the early morning hours of September 1st, 2017, around 1 am, a North Carolina 911 dispatcher receives a phone call from 29-year-old Matthew Phelps, an aspiring pastor. He says, “I think I killed my wife. I had a dream, and then I turned on the lights and she’s dead on the floor…I have blood all over me and there’s a bloody knife on the bed and I think I did it. I can’t believe this.” Matthew claimed that he had “accidentally” stabbed his wife to death while under the influence of cough medicine. 29-year-old Lauren Hugelmaier lay on their bedroom floor, having been stabbed 123 times. While the medicine that Matthew had taken can cause euphoria, agitation, and even psychoses, would a jury believe it as a defence to murder? Perhaps not, after Matthew’s dark side, history of violence and a secret Instagram account was revealed. If you or someone you know may be in a dangerous relationship, domestic violence, or an abusive relationship, call The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1–800–799–7233 or go to www.thehotline.org.Sources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPJVefybEaMhttps://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/family-woman-killed-cold-medicine-murder-filled-regret/story?id=58549513https://heavy.com/news/2017/09/lauren-hugelmaier-phelps-murder-husband-photos-facebook-instagram-obituary/https://people.com/crime/cold-medicine-killer-pastor-pleads-guilty-murdering-wife/https://medium.com/crimebeat/the-cough-syrup-killer-the-case-of-lauren-hugelmaier-a42d15c98653https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/article219420090.htmlSupport the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Kenneth Parks: The Sleepwalking Murder

Kenneth Parks: The Sleepwalking Murder
In the early morning hours of May 24, 1987, Kenneth Parks got up from the sofa where he had been watching TV, got into his vehicle and drove 20 km - or 12 and a half miles - from his home in Toronto to his in-laws home in Scarborough. He used the spare key that they had given him to enter the residence and proceeded to the master bedroom, where he found his mother and father-in-law sleeping in their bed. He proceeded to bludgeon his mother-in-law with a tire iron, which he had brought with him from home, before proceeding to choke his father-in-law. Then, he got into his car and drove to the nearest police station, where he turned himself in saying “I think I have just killed two people.” And open and shut case for murder right? Wrong. Because Kenneth Parks had a story that could save him from sentence of life in prison. He claimed that he was sleepwalking during the murder and was completely, unconscious and unaware of what he was doing until he surrendered to the police. While sleep experts battled the prosecution in court, testifying in support of Kenneth Parks’ sleepwalking defence, much of the public at the time thought he was lying - making up this story of sleepwalking so that he could get away with murder. Kenneth Park’s sleepwalking murder trial was front page of papers around the world as it set a precedence for the level of responsibility one has for their actions done when in a state of sleep.Sources:https://toronto.citynews.ca/2006/10/27/man-acquitted-of-sleepwalking-murder-running-for-school-trustee-in-durham/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/mar/02/if-you-kill-someone-in-your-sleep-are-you-a-murderer#:~:text=Despite%20all%20the%20evidence%20that,on%20to%20have%20six%20children.https://decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/907/index.dohttps://www.chicagotribune.com/1988/07/17/sleepwalking-canadian-walks-on-murder-charge/https://www.evidencelockerpodcast.com/transcripts/transcript-145-homicidal-somnambulist-ken-parks-canadaSupport the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Reena Virk: Lured With the Promise of Friendship

Reena Virk: Lured With the Promise of Friendship
14-year-old British Columbia teenager Reena Virk struggled to fit in. She was relentlessly bullied from elementary school, all the way to high school. Self-conscious about her looks and struggling with her strict religious parent's rules, times were tough. So on Nov. 14, 1997, when she received a phone call inviting her out to a social gathering, she gladly accepted. She had no idea the invite was all a part of a revenge plan - retaliation for spreading rumours about one of the other girls. Shortly after arriving, she was swarmed by a group of 8 teenagers and severely beaten. When she tried to stumble home, two of them followed her and dragged her down below a bridge, where they continued to beat her before drowning her in the water. Reena’s brutal murder at the hands of a group of teens prompted people across the country to take a closer look at growing violence and bullying amongst young Canadians - and it’s a reminder of the importance of raising an empathetic, caring future generation. Sources:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12405821/Harrowing-real-story-teen-Reena-Virk-brutally-MURDERED-Hulu.htmlhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/social-services-failed-miserably-virk-family-says-1.573270#:~:text=She%20told%20horrific%20tales%20of,put%20her%20in%20foster%20care.https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/girl-boasted-of-role-in-killing-crown/article1037718/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-no-one-stood-up-for-carson-crimeni-or-for-reena-virk-as-they-died/https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/soul-of-kindness-daughters-murder-turned-suman-virk-into-tireless-anti-bullying-advocatehttps://www.vice.com/en/article/qvpqa7/the-unforgettable-story-of-a-bc-teen-murdered-by-her-peersSupport the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Amanda Wienckowski: A Decades-Long Fight for Truth

Amanda Wienckowski: A Decades-Long Fight for Truth
Life was not always easy for 20-year-old Amanda Wienckowski. At one point, her friends and family had to watch her struggle with an addiction that had her spending time with undesirable people on the wrong side of town. But she was trying to get her life back on track, even enrolling in a criminal justice course at her local community college. However, on the evening of December 5, 2008, her life was cut short. According to Adam Patterson, Amanda was dropped off that night at Antoine Garner’s home, which was located in a dangerous neighborhood.When a few days passed and she failed to return home, her mother reported her missing to the police. They interviewed Adam Patterson, the man who allegedly dropped her off at Garner’s home and he said initially he was going to wait for her to return to the car, but she called and told him he could leave - so he did. However, Antoine Garner, the man Amanda was seeing that evening, claimed she only stayed for a few minutes and then left with Patterson. Their stories did not match up and investigators believed Amanda may have been a victim of foul play. Then, approximately five weeks later, the police received an anonymous tip pointing them to a parking lot where they would find Amanda’s body in a garbage bin. She was found nude, face down, with her hair shaved off and covered in bruises. What looked like an apparent murder would be ruled an accidental opiate overdose, sparking a decades-long fight for truth.It has been over 15 years since Amanda’s battered body was found in that garbage bin and her family continues to push to have her manner of death changed to homicide. Many believe that there is police corruption and a cover-up at play, and once we go through the details - I think you’ll see why.Sources:https://gavinfish.com/cases/amanda-wienckowski/https://www.niagarafallsreporter.com/Stories/2015/SEP29/AmandasRole.htmlhttps://buffalonews.com/news/local/crime-courts/witness-comes-forward-on-7th-anniversary-of-amanda-wienckowski-s-mysterious-death/article_1e858a80-18b8-5794-aa66-26564632c1bc.htmlhttps://artvoice.net/issues/v10n5/amanda_wienckowski.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htMuLb6VpgYhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrime/comments/ns9spr/amanda_wienckowski_was_a_heroin_addict_but_she/Support the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Dan Saunders: The ATM Glitch That Made Him a Millionaire Overnight
One night, as he stumbled out of a bar with only $3 in his bank account, Dan Saunders made a simple decision that would change his luck and his life forever. He stopped at an ATM on his way home to try to withdraw cash from his nearly-maxed-out credit card and discovered a glitch in the system. Somehow, the bank machine allowed him to withdraw a lot more money than the balance in his account. He was planning to report it to the bank, but when he tried to withdraw even more cash, he realized he had uncovered a loophole that would allow him to withdraw an endless amount of cash forever - as long as he stopped on top of things. Why spoil a good thing? So instead of calling the bank to let them know about the glitch, he spent the next four months living a life of total luxury, buying suits, gambling in Vegas and taking lavish vacations. However, as with most things - if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.Sources:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2823199/ATM-conman-Dan-Saunders-spent-MILLION-dollars-withdrew-machines-loophole-arrested-facing-100-charges.htmlhttps://www.vice.com/en/article/pa5kgg/this-australian-bartender-dan-saunders-found-an-atm-bank-glitch-hack-and-blew-16-million-dollarshttps://www.businessinsider.com/australian-bartender-withdraws-over-million-dollars-atm-glitch-vice-podcast-2020-4Visit Our Sponsor:Visit http://www.310nutrition.com and use the code “NAPPER” for 50% up to $100 for your first order.Support the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

The story of the unsolved disappearance of eight-year-old Relisha Rudd is particularly tragic because, in her short life, she had already survived so much: Neglect, poverty, homelessness and a cycle of trauma within her family.

It was here that her mother would entrust her to the care of a shelter worker, a janitor named Kahlil Tatum, who had taken a special interest in the little girl. After Shamika handed her precious daughter Relisha over to this practical stranger, 30 days would pass before anyone noticed she was missing. It was the staff at her school who felt something was amiss when they were given a note from her mother stating she was absent due to health issues. Authorities would learn that the note signed by a “Doctor Tatum,” was actually written up by the shelter the janitor, Kahlil Tatum.An investigation into her whereabouts would reveal two sightings of Relisha had hotels in the area, where she was seen walking down the hallway with Tatum. On the same day an Amber Alert was put out for Relisha, Tatum’s wife would be found shot dead. Shortly after that, Tatum himself would be discovered deceased from an apparent suicide - leaving everyone to ask the question, where was Relisha Rudd?10 years have passed since Relisha vanished. Her family remains hopeful that she is alive while police have stated this is now a recovery mission. In any case, it is time she is found and brought home. We’re going to talk about the incredible little girl known as Relisha Rudd, the ways she was let down by basically everyone in her life, the details surrounding her disappearance and where the case is at today in 2024.Sources:https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/03/03/relisha-rudd-missing-decade-dc-homeless/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4MenKD07QAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmAplZuIKQ8https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-family-homeless-shelter-beset-by-dysfunction-decay/2014/07/12/3bbb7f50-f739-11e3-a3a5-42be35962a52_story.htmlhttps://medium.com/@themissingfound/case-7-the-disappearance-of-relisha-rudd-d42a2c98379dSupport the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Zohreh Sadeghi: A Podcaster's Parasocial Nightmare

Zohreh Sadeghi: A Podcaster's Parasocial Nightmare
Zohreh Sadeghi was a 33-year-old young woman living in Redmond, Washington. She was an immigrant from Iran, a successful software engineer and a podcaster, who shared her lived experiences talking about how to find a job in the tech industry as a newcomer. In the summer of 2022, she would have the chance to meet one of her listeners, another Iranian immigrant, 38-year-old Ramin Khodakaramrezaei, who seemed to be enamored with her. At first, Zohreh was flattered, but when he began harassing her, calling her from different numbers, and even showing up at her home with gifts, she became terrified and filed an order of protection against him. Sadly, as we have seen time and again, orders of protection are pieces of paper that often do not protect victims against their stalkers. Just one week after the order was filed, Zohreh’s stalker would break into the home where she lived with her husband and shoot them in cold blood, before taking his own life.There is an important lesson to be learned here regarding the toxic parasocial relationships some people have with their favourite content creators and the lack of protection available to victims of stalking and harassment.Sources:https://komonews.com/news/local/redmond-stalker-ramin-khodakaramrezaei-violent-no-contact-protection-restraining-order-couple-shot-killed-inside-home-invasion-northeast-89th-street-king-county-texas-washington-state-gun-crime-domestic-violencehttps://www.stalkingawareness.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/SPARC_StalkngFactSheet_2018_FINAL.pdfhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11847291/Seattle-podcaster-ex-Google-engineer-husband-killed-1-6m-home-crazed-Texas-trucker.htmlhttps://twitter.com/RyanTVnews/status/1634267875975512064/photo/1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4hxzZIKmeQhttps://www.crcvc.ca/docs/crimharass.pdfSupport the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Barbara Mackle: Buried Alive for 83 Hours
Barbara Mackle would regret answering the door in the early morning hours of Dec. 17, 1968. On the other side was a masked man, 23-year-old Gary Stephen Krist, who had been researching all of the intricate details of Babara’s life for the last several months. He forced her into the back of a car he had waiting around the corner and drove her out to a remote forested destination where he instructed her to climb into a fibreglass box at the bottom of a pit that had previously been dug. The box was expertly built to house a person for some time without them perishing and was fitted with an air pump, food, water laced with a sedative and a lamp. After Barbara climbed inside the box, she was buried alive, where she would remain for three days before being found. Miraculously, she survived the shocking kidnapping and burial underground, but the only thing more shocking was what would become of her captor.Sources:Gary Krist: The Einstein of Crime, By David Krajicek - TruTV.comhttps://murderpedia.org/male.K/k/krist-gary-steven.htmhttps://www.news-journalonline.com/story/news/crime/2017/12/20/kidnapping-with-deltona-ties-gripped-nation-50-years-ago/16772134007/The full ransom letter: https://www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/a-real-3-page-ransom-note.25145/Our Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

The plan was to spend the day at Thunderbird Falls, a scenic hiking trail with a beautiful waterfall view. But Cynthia, who was developmentally delayed, had no idea of the secret sinister intention behind this trip. Her so-called best friend, 18-year-old Denali Brehmer had other plans for her. Denali lured Cynthia to a remote location where they tied her up before shooting her in the back of the head and dumping her body in the river. The reason? Denali had been chatting online with a young millionaire from Kansas named Tyler, who promised her $9 million if she would send him photos and videos of her sexually assaulting and killing someone. Denali jumped at the idea, offering up Cynthia to her online boyfriend. So who was Tyler from Kansas really and what else did Denali promise him? As it would turn out, Tyler was a catfish and this heinous murder-for-hire plot was just the tip of the iceberg.Sources:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13090035/Alaska-Denali-Brehmer-murder-catfish-sentenced-99-years.htmlhttps://www.weremember.com/cynthia-hoffman/4a1z/memorieshttps://nypost.com/2024/02/15/us-news/woman-who-killed-best-friend-after-9m-catfish-offer-sentenced-to-99-years/https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2024/01/10/sentencing-hearing-2019-thunderbird-falls-murder-case-underway/https://digitaledition.chicagotribune.com/tribune/article_popover.aspx?guid=802fdb4c-d573-4c84-bafd-f31b6fb923afhttps://mustreadalaska.com/who-is-darin-schilmiller-murder-investigation/Support the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Jack Barron: The Munchausen by Proxy Dad
Although the most well-known case of Munchausen syndrome involved a woman, according to webMD, it’s actually more common for men to have the disorder.  Tonight we’re talking about Jack Barron, the first man recorded to be suffering from Munchausen by Proxy. Jack loved the attention he received after his wife mysteriously died so much so that he desperately needed more. When his four-year-old son died just a few months later, the community thought he must be the unluckiest man alive. They rallied around him, showing him nothing but love and support. But when Jack’s young daughter also suddenly passed away too, the police decided it was time to take a closer look. You won’t believe the final act Jack took that would break this case wide open. Visit Our Sponsor:Visit http://www.310nutrition.com and use the code “NAPPER” for 50% up to $100 for your first order.Support the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronSources:https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-07-25-mn-27581-story.htmlhttps://www.webmd.com/mental-health/munchausen-syndromehttps://radaronline.com/exclusives/2019/07/wynonna-judd-targeted-murderer-jack-barron-attempt-prison-release/ https://the-line-up.com/dying-for-daddy-excerpthttps://www.evidencelockerpodcast.com/transcripts/transcript-84-jack-barron-munchausen-dad-usaOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Connor & Noah Barthe: Nothing Loved is Ever Lost

Connor & Noah Barthe: Nothing Loved is Ever Lost
It was the summer of 2013 in Campbelltown, New Brunswick, Canada. Noah and Connor Barthe, who were 4 and 6 years old, had spent the day having a blast with family friends at a farm. That evening, they had a sleepover at their best friend's house, which was located just above an exotic pet store that his father owned. Not all of the animals were kept downstairs in the store. Jean-Claude Savoie owned a 12-foot-long African rock python which was kept in a glass enclosure in the apartment. Somehow, during the night, the python escaped through an air duct. The 100lbs snake broke through the ceiling right above where the boys were sleeping in the living room. The following morning at around 6:30 am, Savoie would walk into the living room to a horrifying scene. The two little boys had been killed - crushed to death by the python. Their family friends and the community were devastated over the loss of these two very loved children, while the python owner was charged with criminal negligence. He would be found not guilty, surprising some, and relieving others. There are no charges that could ever bring back these two incredible little boys, but there is a lesson here in responsible pet ownership and speaking up when you see something wrong.Sources:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2385796/Noah-Connor-Barthe-Pictures-boys-strangled-python-playing-serpent-cage.htmlhttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/new-brunswick-introduces-exotic-animal-legislation-after-boys-killed-by-python/article36780894/https://globalnews.ca/news/3041344/testimony-continues-wednesday-in-case-of-new-brunswick-boys-killed-by-python/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/python-deaths-savoie-trial-week-2-1.3838364Support the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Nicola Furlong: A Life Worth More
Nicola Furlong was a 21-year-old Dublin City University student who was studying University in Japan as part of an exchange program. In May of 2012, she enjoyed a night out at a Nicki Minaj concert with one of her girlfriends. When the concert was over, they planned to continue their night barhopping until the first train arrived in the morning to take them home. While standing at the station, they encountered two American men and were happy to meet other foreigners who could speak English. They decided to head to a bar and share some drinks. The rest of the evening was a blur, as the last thing Nicola’s friend would remember was taking a shot of tequila before blacking out, coming in and out of consciousness. They were taken to a nearby hotel where the men separated the two women. A few hours later, Nicola Furlong was discovered strangled to death inside one of the rooms. With Nicola’s friend not having much memory from the evening and the two American men denying any wrongdoing, it was lucky that there would be surveillance footage and recorded audio of some of the events that went down that night - and when you learn what was uncovered and what happened to the two American men, it will make you sick to your stomach.Sources:https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2022/11/25/killer-of-nicola-furlong-in-tokyo-returns-to-us-after-release-from-prison/https://evoke.ie/2023/01/05/news/man-who-killed-nicola-furlong-back-in-ushttps://www.irishtimes.com/world/asia-pacific/2022/08/19/family-of-nicola-furlong-the-irish-exchange-student-murdered-in-a-tokyo-hotel-room-brace-for-the-release-of-her-killer/https://www.independent.ie/regionals/wexford/enniscorthy-news/tears-flow-as-beautiful-nicola-is-laid-to-rest/27257154.htmlhttps://www.independent.ie/irish-news/memphis-christian-musician-richard-hinds-19-suspected-of-killing-nicola-furlong/26865116.htmlSupport the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Desmond Runstedler and Philip Fraser: Danger on the Highway
There was a movement all across North America in the 60s and 70s that had people hitchhiking their way across the country. It was a way for young folks to get around economically while also being a bit rebellious. There was an element of adventure, as one never knew the stranger behind the wheel of the car they were getting into. But for much of Western Canada, hitchhiking was more than that - it was an act out of necessity. There are stretches of highway where public transportation just doesn’t exist. Unless you have a driver's license or access to a vehicle, getting around can be difficult and expensive - so thumbing a ride is the only option. But is it safe? Tonight we’re talking about two hitchhiking stories and how too many have become victims of Canada’s dangerous highways. Sources:https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-highway-of-tears-study-polls-hitchhikers-habits-1.2653808https://thecrimewire.com/true-crime/The-Unsettling-Murder-of-Philip-Fraser-Killed-by-a-Hitchhikerhttps://truecrimediva.com/evil-on-the-road-series-part-4-desmond-joseph-runstedler/https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2253dmab.htmlhttps://unsolved.com/gallery/philip-innes-fraser/Support the showVisit Our Sponsor:Visit http://www.310nutrition.com and use the code “NAPPER” for 50% up to $100 for your first order.Follow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Peter Keller: The Family Annihilator Who Vlogged
On April 22, 2012, several residents living in a quiet neighborhood located in North Bend, Washington, called 911 after seeing flames coming out of the windows of a neighboring home. Thankfully firefighters arrived on the scene and were able to put out the fire quickly. But when they took a closer look at the remnants of the house, they would make a gruesome discovery - two bodies, untouched by the fire but both shot in the head. They belonged to 41-year-old Lynnette Keller, and her 19-year-old daughter, Kaylene. Missing from the residence was the patriarch of the house, 41-year-old Peter Keller. Investigators weren’t immediately sure if he was missing or in danger - but things became much clearer when they discovered a hard drive in the home containing hours of Peter’s vlog footage. What was featured in these videos would shock even the most seasoned of investigators, launching a SWAT search for an underground bunker police believed was connected to Peter and the fire.We're talking about a husband and father who lived a double life as a devoted family while plotting to annihilate his family and live out the remainder of his life in an underground bunker.Sources:https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-xpm-2012-may-01-la-na-nn-keller-bunker-20120501-story.htmlhttps://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/peter-keller-killer-of-wife-daughter-said-i-can-always-shoot-myself/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vorUEpbHNUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aodgtiB7ShESupport the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Jamie Snow: A Story Recanted
On Easter Sunday, 1991, a gas station in Bloomington, Illinois would be robbed at gunpoint. Tragically, Billy Little, the attendant working that night, would be killed - shot to death for the money in his cash register. Investigators collected evidence from the crime scene including fingerprints, shoe prints and even a DNA sample, but they struggled for years to nail down who the armed robber was. It wasn’t until 8 years later that a witness would pick out a man named Jamie Snow from a lineup. Jamie was a person the police had their eye on from the beginning, but the witness had previously failed to pick him out from photos and lineups. Now that this witness pointed at Jamie Snow, the police moved in on an arrest. However, Jamie denied robbing the gas station and killing the attendant. He said he was at home eating dinner with his children at the time of the crime. Despite Jamie having an alibi and passing a polygraph test, the police found no evidence to connect him to the crime scene and an eye witness that only pointed at Jamie 8 years later, Jamie Snow would be tried and convicted. He has been in prison for over 24 years now for a crime he says he did not commit - and once you hear the details of the investigation and trial, you’ll wonder how this all happened. Sources:http://Snowfiles.net http://www.Freejamiesnow.comhttps://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-7th-circuit/1887037.htmlhttps://truecrimedaily.com/2016/10/13/jamie-snow-conviction-exoneration-project-brings-new-details-in-old-murder-case/Support the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.

Juan Corona: The Machete Murderer
The date was May 19, 1971. A Japanese peach farmer was perusing his orchard, located in Yuba City, California. Suddenly, he spotted something unusual. A large seven-foot-long hole, that was approximately half a foot deep, which looked like an improvised dug-out gravesite. His was private property, no one was supposed to be digging on his land.Without any witnesses to report the purpose of this large hole, he decided to return the following day to see if it was still there. When he returned to the orchard the next afternoon, this large hole had been filled in. Someone had returned and it appeared as if something had been buried - so the peach farmer called the authorities to investigate. What the police would uncover would spark an investigation into the worst-known serial killer in the U.S. at the time - but few know his name today: Juan Corona.Sources:https://www.latinamericanstudies.org/immigration/corona.htmhttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/04/obituaries/juan-corona-dead.htmlhttps://criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/Juan_CoronaSupport the showFollow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernikJoin the Serial Society true crime Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatronOur Sponsors:* Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SERIALNAPPER at checkout for 10% off.
