Who Killed the Rhoden Family? The Wagner Family's Pike County Massacre ExplainedIn April 2016, eight members of the Rhoden and Gilley families were found shot execution-style across four separate locations in Pike County, Ohio, in what became one of the most extensive homicide investigations in American history. After two years of surveillance, wiretaps, ballistics analysis, and a homemade silencer recovered from the bottom of a well, the Wagner family of four was arrested in November 2018 and charged with aggravated murder, conspiracy, and related offenses.What started as a custody dispute over a baby girl became the blueprint for a massacre that took months to plan. The Wagners were not a troubled family in the way most people use that phrase. They were a closed criminal system, run by a patriarch who taught his sons to track police officers on road trips for dollar bills, and a matriarch who regularly accessed her sons' girlfriends' social media accounts to monitor their loyalty. When 19-year-old Hanna May Rhoden wrote in a Facebook message that the Wagners would "have to kill me first" before she'd sign custody papers, Angela Wagner was already reading her messages. This is the story of the eight people they went after anyway, and the family that spent months convincing themselves it was the right thing to do.#PikeCountyMurders #RhodenFamilyMurders #WagnerFamily #OhioTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #MassMurder🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

The Chelsea Perkins Case: A Veteran, a Double Life, and an Execution in the WoodsIn March 2021, the body of Matthew Dunmire, 31, was found in a remote ravine inside Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Valley View, Ohio. The federal homicide investigation led agents to Chelsea Perkins, a 35-year-old United States Coast Guard veteran who had driven 300 miles from Alexandria, Virginia, to commit the crime. Forensic evidence including GPS tracking, DNA analysis, and a recovered deleted file from her phone resulted in a federal conviction. On May 27, 2025, Perkins pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 270 months in federal prison.She had two lives running at the same time and managed both with a discipline most people cannot apply to a single one. A military veteran, an adult content creator named Selena Savage, and a woman quietly carrying a grievance that had been building for years. When she finally decided to act on it, she packed a 9mm pistol, got into her husband's Smart car, and drove three hundred miles to meet the man she was planning to kill. She spent the night with him first. Then she walked him into the woods of a national park. Investigators later recovered a fake suicide note she had written in the victim's own voice, and it tells you everything about how long she had been thinking about this.#TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #CuyahogaValley #SelenaSavage #ChelseaPerkins #FederalMurder #NationalParkMurder🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Alaska Serial Killer Robert Hansen: The Baker Who Hunted His Victims Like GameIn 1983, Anchorage, Alaska investigators connected respected local businessman Robert Christian Hansen to the murders of at least seventeen women, building their criminal profile case through FBI behavioral analysis, forensic evidence recovered from a hidden attic cache, and the survivor testimony of seventeen-year-old Cindy Paulson, who escaped Hansen in handcuffs before her scheduled flight into the Alaskan wilderness. Hansen pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree homicide and was sentenced to life plus 461 years without the possibility of parole. Robert Hansen sold donuts. He had hunting trophies on his walls, a solid reputation around Anchorage, and a family who had no idea what was happening a few miles out past the city limits, where the roads stopped, and the wilderness swallowed everything. For twelve years, he used the Last Frontier like a private hunting ground, and the only thing standing between him and another twelve years of it was a teenager with no shoes and a pair of handcuffs around her wrists. This is the story of how a man builds two completely separate lives in the same small city, what a pipeline boom made possible for a predator who knew exactly how to read the terrain, and the girl who, with about thirty seconds of nerve and nothing else, ended all of it.#TrueCrime #RobertHansen #ButcherBaker #AlaskaTrueCrime #SerialKiller #CindyPaulson #TrueCrimePodcast🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Bodies in Barrels: The True Story of the Snowtown Murders In May 1999, South Australian police breached the vault of a disused bank building in the remote town of Snowtown and found eight barrels of human remains, uncovering what would become the most prolific serial murder case in Australian history. The Snowtown murders, also known as the Bodies in Barrels case, resulted in the convictions of John Justin Bunting, Robert Wagner, James Vlassakis, and Mark Haydon for the murders of twelve victims between 1992 and 1999, following an investigation that stands as the longest and most complex in South Australian legal history.What set this case apart from every other serial homicide in the record books was who the victims were. Every single person John Bunting killed was someone he already knew, someone he had brought close, shaped, and ultimately turned into either a weapon or a target. He built a killing operation from the most isolated and struggling people in his own neighborhood, and he made sure each of them was so deeply implicated in what had happened that silence was the only road left open. Today's episode goes into one of the most psychologically consuming cases I've ever covered, and the part I keep coming back to is just how long all of it went completely unseen.#SnowtownMurders #BodiesInBarrels #JohnBunting #AustralianTrueCrime #TrueCrime #SerialKiller #ColdCase🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

The High Priest of New Castle: Frank Costal and the Kadunce Ritual MurdersOn July 11, 1978, Kathy Kadunce, age 25, and her four-year-old daughter Dawn were found stabbed to death inside their New Castle, Pennsylvania home in what investigators would eventually classify as a ritualistic homicide connected to a Satanic cult operating in Lawrence County. The cold case investigation sat dormant for three years before a convicted serial killer named Michael Atkinson provided testimony pointing to Frank Costal Jr., a self-styled occult high priest who maintained a following of alienated young men, as the architect of the killings.Frank Costal spent his entire adult life building himself into something impossible to ignore. He started as a carnival freak show performer, eventually returned to New Castle, filled an apartment with black curtains and plastic skulls, and built enough psychological authority over his followers that grown adults were afraid to cross him. When Kathy Kadunce discovered drugs in her house and flushed them, the consequences were unthinkable. This is the story of a traumatized child who grew into something genuinely terrifying, and the family who paid the price for it.#SatanicPanic #PennsylvaniaMurder #KadunceMurders #FrankCostal #ColdCase #OccultMurder🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Missing in Cleveland: The True Story of the Seymour Avenue AbductionsIn 2002, Michelle Knight became the first victim in a kidnapping investigation that would span eleven years in Cleveland, Ohio, as Ariel Castro abducted three women and held them captive at 2207 Seymour Avenue in one of the most significant missing persons failures in American criminal history. Detectives failed to connect the disappearances of victims Amanda Berry in 2003 and Gina DeJesus in 2004, leaving three open cases while the suspect drove a school bus, played bass in local bands, and attended vigils for the very girl he had locked in his house, before a 937-count conviction in 2013.Ariel Castro spent years consoling a grieving mother at community events, handing out her missing daughter's flyers, and standing at candlelight vigils on her behalf. Three women survived more than a decade of captivity through an extraordinary bond forged with each other and with a child born inside that house, and when they finally walked out on May 6, 2013, they didn't stop moving. This is a story about what people are capable of, the absolute worst of it and the most astonishing of it.#ArielCastro #ClevelandKidnapping #MichelleKnight #AmandaBerry #GinaDeJesus #TrueCrime #MissingPersons🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

The Zombie Hunter Murders: Phoenix's Most Haunting Cold Case Finally SolvedIn November 1992, Angela Brosso, age 21, was murdered and decapitated on a Phoenix, Arizona canal path on the eve of her 22nd birthday. Ten months later, 17-year-old Melanie Bernas was found in the same canal system, staged in clothing that didn't belong to her. For 22 years, the Phoenix Canal Murders stood as one of Arizona's most haunting cold cases until forensic genealogy and a glass of water at a Chili's finally put a name to the killer: Bryan Patrick Miller.What makes this one so hard to shake is the life Miller built around himself while living inside the very community he terrorized. He was a local character, a self-styled "Zombie Hunter" with a custom car, a prop gun impressive enough to land in an airport exhibit, and a regular spot at Phoenix festivals where he posed for photos with actual police officers on the weekends. Behind that persona was a man with a childhood that reads like a case study in how to manufacture a predator, a handwritten murder blueprint discovered when he was 16, and a legal system that let him walk free in 2002 when the evidence said something very different.#PhoenixCanalMurders #BryanPatrickMiller #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase #ForensicGenealogy #PhoenixSerialKiller #AngelaBrosso🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Operation Misty: The Undercover Sting That Caught a Serial KillerIn October 1997, the body of Samantha Class, a 29-year-old mother of three, was discovered partially submerged in the muddy foreshore of the River Humber near North Ferriby, England. DNA evidence pointed directly at suspect Gary Arthur Allen, but in a 2000 trial at Sheffield Crown Court, Allen walked free. Twenty-one years later, in 2018, Alena Grlakova, a 38-year-old mother of four from Slovakia, vanished from Rotherham. Her body was found months later in a nearby stream, strangled and discarded just like Samantha had been. What followed was one of the most elaborate undercover police operations in British history, a two-year deep-cover sting involving seven officers building a fake criminal world around one man. Gary Allen's own mouth finally did what twenty-four years of investigations couldn't. This is a story about what happens when the system sees a monster coming from miles away and still can't stop him in time, and about two women whose families never stopped waiting for answers.#TrueCrime #GaryAllen #HumberMurders #SamanthaClass #AlenaGrlakova #OperationMisty #DoubleJeopardy🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

The Wrong Mother: How Julie Rea Was Convicted of Killing Her Own SonIn October 1997, ten-year-old Joel Kirkpatrick was stabbed to death in his bed in Lawrenceville, Illinois, in a homicide investigation that would expose the catastrophic consequences of tunnel vision policing, junk forensic science, and the weight a single courtroom assumption can carry. His mother, Julie Rea, a PhD student in educational psychology, was convicted and sentenced to 65 years in prison despite no physical evidence connecting her to her son's death.What followed was nearly a decade of wrongful imprisonment, a true crime author who happened to catch the right television segment at the right moment, and a serial killer sitting on death row in Texas who turned out to be the only person willing to tell the truth. This case has a custody battle weaponized as motive, a nomadic predator with a body count stretching across the country, and a confession that cracked open a case the state of Illinois had tried to seal forever. Joel deserved better. So did his mom. And the way justice finally arrived for this family is one of the most remarkable stories you will ever hear.#TrueCrime #WrongfulConviction #JulieRea #TommyLynnSells #InnocenceProject #SerialKiller #TrueCrimePodcast🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Sheila and Clay Fletcher: The Parents Who Let Their Daughter DieOn January 3, 2022, first responders entered a home in Slaughter, Louisiana, and discovered 36-year-old Lacey Fletcher deceased, the victim of years of catastrophic neglect committed by her parents, Sheila and Clay Fletcher. The investigation resulted in second-degree murder charges, a surprising plea deal, and a sentencing that ignited national outrage about vulnerable adult protections, caregiver accountability, and the failures of community oversight. What makes this case almost impossible to process is that Sheila Fletcher was a town alderman and court clerk, someone literally employed to uphold justice, while her daughter was vanishing in the next room. This is the story of how a family's obsession with reputation can override every human instinct, how a tight-knit community can look the other way for fifteen years, and how a woman who once played high school volleyball ended up merging with a piece of furniture.

The Shadow of the Adirondacks: Robert Garrow and the Lawyers Who Kept His Deadly SecretsIn the summer of 1973, serial killer Robert Garrow launched an 18-day murder spree through New York's Adirondack wilderness, triggering the largest manhunt in state history and leaving investigators with a map marked with 26 red dots and far too few answers. The homicide investigation surrounding victims Alicia Hauck, Daniel Porter, Susan Petz, and Philip Domblewski eventually led to a courtroom revelation that cracked American legal ethics wide open. Two defense attorneys knew where the bodies were buried and said nothing for five months, while grieving families begged publicly for any information at all. This is a story about a man forged in poverty and institutional failure, a wilderness that became his hunting ground, and the impossible weight of a professional oath when honoring it means doing something that feels profoundly wrong as a human being.#RobertGarrow #AdirondackKiller #TrueCrime #BuriedBodiesCase #SerialKiller #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Jeffrey Mundt and Joseph Banis: The Fourth Street House of HorrorsIn December 2009, Jamie Carroll, a 37-year-old master hair stylist from Louisville, Kentucky, disappeared after a night of drugs and sex at a Victorian mansion on Fourth Street in Old Louisville. His body wouldn't be discovered for six months, sealed in a 50-gallon container and buried five feet beneath the basement floor. The investigation exposed a complex homicide case involving methamphetamine addiction, a sophisticated counterfeiting operation, and two men who each claimed the other was the killer. Federal agencies including the Secret Service and CIA became involved after discovering nearly a million files on seized hard drives, adding layers of mystery to an already disturbing case. Jeffrey Mundt and Joseph Banis turned on each other in separate trials, creating a legal battle where each defendant's primary evidence was the testimony of his accomplice.This case gets weird fast. Two men, one victim, a basement grave that stayed hidden for half a year, and federal agents who still won't explain what they found on those computers. Sometimes the truth doesn't set you free. Sometimes it just raises more questions.#JamieCarroll #LouisvilleMurder #TrueCrimeKentucky #JeffreyMundt #JosephBanis #OldLouisville #BasementMurder🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Justin Mohn: How Right-Wing Radicalization Led to Father's BeheadingOn January 30, 2024, 68-year-old Michael Mohn, a civil engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was shot and beheaded in his Levittown, Pennsylvania home by his 33-year-old son Justin Mohn. The murder investigation revealed forensic evidence including a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol purchased 24 hours before the killing, a notebook containing detailed plans labeled "Boom" and "Slice," and online search history going back at least five years showing research on handgun purchases, bullet penetration of skulls, and explosive-making instructions. Justin then uploaded a 14-minute YouTube video titled "Mohn's Militia - Call to Arms for American Patriots" where he held up his father's severed head twice, declared himself "Acting President," leaked a federal judge's home address, and called for the execution of all federal employees.Justin Mohn became the first person ever convicted under Pennsylvania's terrorism statute. His years-long radicalization into right-wing extremism involved four failed lawsuits against the Department of Education over student loans, self-published manifestos calling for government overthrow, and research on domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh. After the killing, he drove 100 miles to a National Guard base carrying explosive recipes on a USB drive, believing soldiers would join his revolution. In July 2025, he received two consecutive life sentences without parole. Prosecutors revealed his online history showed he'd been planning violence for at least five years.#JustinMohn #LevittownMurder #MichaelMohn #PennsylvaniaTerrorism #TrueCrimePodcast #DomesticTerrorism #MohnsMilitia🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Julissa Thaler: The Mother Who Bought a Shotgun After Losing Custody BattleIn May 2022, Orono police discovered six-year-old Eli Hart's body in the trunk of his mother Julissa Thaler's vehicle during a routine traffic stop in Minnesota. The investigation revealed Thaler had shot Eli up to nine times with a 12-gauge shotgun just ten days after regaining full custody. Evidence included the weapon purchase six days after the father filed for custody, Google searches about child blood loss and life insurance payouts, and ammunition specifically requested to "blow the biggest hole." Despite 21 police calls to Thaler's home, documented mental health crises, and explicit warnings from family members that she would kill Eli rather than lose custody, Dakota County Social Services recommended returning the child to her care.Eli was a kindergartener who loved the monkey bars, fishing with his dad, and making friends at school. Despite being born with medical challenges that required surgeries and hearing aids, everyone said he was one of the happiest kids they'd ever met. His foster mother told social workers directly that she believed Thaler would murder Eli to keep him from his father. Two weeks after getting full custody, that's exactly what happened.#EliHart #JulissaThaler #TrueCrime #MinnesotaMurder #ChildWelfare #Justice #SystemFailure🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Mississippi Civil Rights Murder: The Medgar Evers Case ExplainedIn June 1963, NAACP field secretary Medgar Evers was shot in the back outside his Jackson, Mississippi home by white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith. The assassination triggered a 31-year investigation involving forensic evidence, FBI fingerprint analysis, two hung jury trials, and shocking interference by Mississippi's governor and a state-funded spy agency called the Sovereignty Commission that actively worked to protect the suspect from conviction.While Medgar was bleeding out in his driveway at 12:30 in the morning, his wife and children heard him trying to reach their door. Two trials in the 1960s ended without convictions, even though Beckwith's fingerprint was on the murder weapon. And right now in February 2026, the National Park Service has temporarily pulled visitor brochures from the Medgar Evers National Monument because of plans to remove words like "racist" when describing his convicted killer. This is a story about how justice can be delayed for decades, and how the fight to tell the truth about what happened continues even today.#MedgarEvers #ByronDeLaBeckwith #CivilRightsHistory #TrueCrimePodcast #MississippiMurder #ColdCase #JusticeDelayed🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Larry Gene Bell: The Sadistic Killer Who Tortured Families by PhoneIn May 1985, seventeen-year-old Shari Faye Smith was abducted from her family's driveway in broad daylight near Lexington, South Carolina, sparking one of the most intensive FBI investigations in the region's history. The perpetrator, Larry Gene Bell, tortured Shari's family with phone calls for days before killing nine-year-old Debra May Helmick two weeks later, turning the Midlands into a landscape of fear during what became known as the "Summer of Terror."This case has everything that makes true crime both fascinating and deeply unsettling. Bell didn't stop after killing these girls. He played a sick game with their families, making phone calls where he'd describe what he'd done, all while using voice-altering technology like some bargain-basement supervillain. And here's what really gets me about this story: the breakthrough that caught him came from handwriting indentations on a legal pad. Sometimes the smallest detail is the one that brings a monster down. Plus, there's a 2025 update that confirms Bell had been hunting victims for a full decade before anyone connected the dots.#LarryGeneBell #ShariFayeSmith #DebraMayHelmick #TrueCrime #SouthCarolinaMurder #SerialKiller #FBIProfiling🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Four Dead in Ohio: The Kent State Shootings InvestigationIn May 1970, National Guardsmen fired 67 rounds in thirteen seconds at Kent State University students protesting the Vietnam War's expansion into Cambodia, killing Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Schroeder, and wounding nine others. The FBI investigation, civil trials, and forensic analysis of audio evidence would span decades, with questions about whether guardsmen received an order to fire remaining central to the case.Four days. That's all it took for a college campus in Ohio to go from burying a copy of the Constitution as a symbolic protest to actual students bleeding out on the grass. And here's what makes this case so disturbing: for forty years, everyone involved said no order was given to shoot. Then in 2010, a forensic audio expert cleaned up a forgotten tape recording and found something that changed everything about what we thought we knew.#KentState #TrueCrime #KentStateMassacre #May4th1970 #VietnamWarProtest #NationalGuard #ColdCase🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.
