The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat, Rachel, and Meg turn their focus to one of New Mexico’s darkest mysteries - the West Mesa Murders. In 2009, a woman walking her dog stumbled across human bones on Albuquerque’s West Mesa.What followed was the shocking discovery of 11 women buried in the desert, all believed to be victims of a still-unidentified serial killer. Despite years of investigation, theories, and suspects, the case remains unsolved, leaving families without answers and a community haunted by the thought of a predator who may still be out there.From the victims’ stories to the hunt for the so-called “West Mesa Bone Collector,” we unravel the chilling mystery that still casts a long shadow over Albuquerque.((For this particular episode, Cat took their mugshots and created high school yearbook photos for each of the victims - as they should be remembered for who they were - not what they did for work.))Get your hydration station ready (and maybe don’t go walking alone in the desert), as we dive into this haunting case.Links We Used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Mesa_murdershttps://www.cabq.gov/police/contact-the-police/west-mesa-homicide-investigationhttps://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/1jn75v7/the_west_mesa_bone_collector_the_tragic_case/https://www.koat.com/article/police-support-new-dna-bill-as-west-mesa-murder-cases-remain-cold/63644264https://www.aetv.com/real-crime/west-mesa-serial-killer-searchhttps://scholars.unh.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1079&context=spectrumhttps://www.kob.com/news/top-news/families-apd-seek-answers-16-years-after-west-mesa-murders/https://www.aetv.com/tags/west-mesa-murdershttps://casefilepodcast.com/case-27-west-mesa-bone-collector/https://deadline.com/2024/07/west-mesa-murders-true-crime-series-boneyard-director-1236008367/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7531914/https://www.koat.com/article/west-mesa-murders-movie-took-some-creative-liberties/61548949https://olj1002.wixsite.com/westmesamurdershttps://www.koat.com/article/candelaria-s-family-finds-grief-closure/5029846https://charleyproject.org/case/julie-cyndie-nietohttp://www.abqjournal.com/https://www.nmlegis.gov/Sessions/17%20Regular/memorials/senate/SM113.HTMLhttps://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-22-104045.pdfhttps://www.reddit.com/r/NotForgotten/comments/xm8nww/darlene_marie_trujillo/http://charleyproject.org/case/felipa-victoria-gonzaleshttps://websleuths.com/threads/nm-martha-jo-lucher-32-albuquerque-3-sep-2003.379788/https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/software/mp-main.html?id=3915dfnmhttps://www.doenetwork.org/cases/3921dfnm.htmlhttps://charleyproject.org/case/nina-brenda-herronhttps://charleyproject.org/case/vanessa-reedhttps://namus.nij.ojp.gov/case/MP603https://charleyproject.org/case/leah-rachelle-peebleshttps://www.nativewomenswilderness.org/mmiwhttps://www.newspapers.com/article/albuquerque-journal-west-mesa-burial-sit/27687319/https://www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docketfiles/html/public/24A338.htmlhttps://www.arroyohondo.org/image-gallery/aerial-photoshttps://www.krwg.org/regional/2015-06-03/man-convicted-tuesday-in-girls-rape-from-26-years-agohttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/40555025/gina_michelle-valdezhttps://www.cabq.gov/police/images/elks_cinnamon_small.jpg/image_view_fullscreenhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/40555365/juliean-cyndie-nietohttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/179033144/evelyn_jesus_maria-salazarhttps://charleyproject.org/case/jamie-caterina-barelahttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/99491001/virginia_ann-clovenhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/134036816/doreen-marquezhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/78230119/syllannia_terene-edwardshttps://charleyproject.org/case/monica-diana-candelariahttps://charleyproject.org/case/victoria-ann-chavez
The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat turn their attention to Janine Jones - better known as the “Angel of Death.” As a pediatric nurse in Texas during the 1980s, Jones is suspected of taking the lives of as many as 60 children while working in hospitals and clinics.Convicted of murder and injury to a child, she left behind a trail of heartbreak, unanswered questions, and outrage at the medical system that failed to stop her sooner. From her chilling methods to the lasting impact on the families of her tiny victims, we unravel the dark legacy of one of history’s most notorious medical killers.Grab your coffee (and maybe hug your loved ones a little tighter), because this one is as haunting as it gets.Links We Used - Genene Jones:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genene_Jones https://www.ksat.com/news/2023/11/01/watch-at-630p-case-of-baby-killing-nurse-genene-jones-re-examined-in-a-powerful-new-episode-of-the-evidence-room/ https://www.propublica.org/article/texas-baby-killer-pleads-guilty-to-a-new-murder https://www.tpr.org/podcast/the-source/2022-01-25/new-information-comes-to-light-about-convicted-texas-baby-killer-genene-jones https://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/serial-killers/genene-jones/ https://murderpedia.org/female.J/j/jones-genene.htm https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/article-abstract/515189 https://www.alcatrazeast.com/crime-library/serial-killers/genene-jones/ https://abcnews.go.com/US/nurse-suspected-killing-46-kids-prison/story?id=19852141 https://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/Psyc%20405/serial%20killers/Jones,%20Genene%20_fall,%202006_.pdf http://www.crimezzz.net/serialkillers/J/JONES_genene.phphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC9p47zpPAQhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Longreads/comments/1gzhmxc/the_death_shift_when_nurse_genene_jones_was_on/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/17/us/texas-nurse-sentenced-trnd https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/01/17/texas-killer-nurse-genene-jones-guilty-infant-death/4499258002/ https://sanantonioreport.org/genene-jones-death-shift-book-peter-elkind/ https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Killer-nurse-Genene-Jones-sentenced-to-life-14980862.php https://abcnews.go.com/US/nurse-suspected-killing-60-children/story?id=48206847 https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2020/03/17/in-a-killers-care-the-story-behind-one-of-texas-most-notorious-alleged-serial-killers-genene-jones/ https://allthatsinteresting.com/genene-jones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge-Frmo9Aio
The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel set sail for one of the most infamous prisons in the world - Alcatraz. Known as “The Rock,” Alcatraz housed some of America’s most dangerous criminals, from mob bosses to escape artists. But beyond the bars and concrete walls lies a chilling legacy of failed escape attempts, ghostly encounters, and tales that refuse to die.From the mystery of the Anglin brothers’ daring disappearance to the whispers of restless spirits in Cell Block D, we dive into the history, the hauntings, and the myths that make Alcatraz one of true crime and paranormal lore’s most enduring icons.Grab your coffee and your flashlight - we’re heading inside the haunted and horrifying history of The Rock.Links We Used - Alcatraz:https://www.nps.gov/alcahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatraz_Islandhttps://www.history.com/topics/crime/alcatrazhttps://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Alcatraz_Islandhttps://www.parksconservancy.org/parks/alcatrazhttps://www.britannica.com/place/Alcatraz-Islandhttps://www.bop.gov/about/history/alcatraz.jsphttps://www.sftravel.com/things-to-do/attractions/iconic-sf/alcatrazhttps://fox59.com/news/national-world/new-evidence-in-60-year-old-alcatraz-prison-break/https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/alcatraz-escapehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_1962_Alcatraz_escape_attempthttps://www.cityexperiences.com/blog/anglin-brothers-escape/https://www.history.co.uk/articles/the-story-behind-the-alcatraz-escape-history-s-most-daring-prison-breakhttps://www.unilad.com/news/alcatraz-prison-escape-fbi-letter-john-anglin-715424-20240206https://graylineofsanfrancisco.com/alcatraz-haunted/https://sfghosts.com/the-spirits-of-alcatraz-island/https://medium.com/globetrotters/the-ghosts-of-alcatraz-the-rock-and-my-scary-silly-imaginations-48a4691a1dfehttps://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/yefkzg/why_do_alcatraz_employees_viciously_deny_its/https://thehauntghosttours.com/blog/why-is-alcatraz-prison-in-san-francisco-haunted/https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/climate-researchers-on-alcatraz-island-have-haunting-experience-staying-in-prison-cells/https://alcatraz-experience.com/3-famous-ghosts-that-haunt-alcatraz-island/https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/travel/video/alcatraz-island-climate-change-prison-escape-digvidhttps://www.islapedia.com/index.php?title=DUHAUT-CILLY,_Augustehttps://archaeology.org/issues/september-october-2020/letters-from/fort-alcatraz/https://www.nps.gov/alca/index.htmhttps://www.visitcalifornia.com/things-to-do/alcatraz/https://www.history.com/articles/10-things-you-may-not-know-about-alcatrazhttps://www.innsf.com/activity/alcatraz/https://news.uslhs.org/2021/03/15/alcatraz-lighthouse-preservation-project-an-update/https://www.nps.gov/articles/hopi-prisoners-on-the-rock.htm#:~:text=One%20hundred%20years%20ago%2C%20in,means%20of%20intimidation%20and%20punishment.https://history.howstuffworks.com/historical-events/chicago-milk-wars.htm#:~:text=Al%20Capone%20(inset)%20and%20his%20Chicago%20mob,became%20known%20as%20the%20%22Chicago%20milk%20wars.%22https://texoso66.com/2018/03/22/machine-gun-kelly/https://digitalcollections.smu.edu/digital/collection/nam/id/471/https://www.archives.gov/san-francisco/highlights/kellyhttps://www.alcatrazhistory.com/mgk.htmhttps://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/machine-gun-kellyhttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Robert-Stroudhttps://www.facebook.com/AlcatrazIslandHistoryhttps://alcatrazguidedtours.com/blog/growing-up-on-alcatraz-qa-with-a-former-resident/
The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat dive into the strange and scandalous case of Adelaide Bartlett - at the center of one of Victorian England’s most puzzling trials. When Adelaide’s husband was found dead in 1886 with an alarming amount of chloroform in his stomach, suspicion quickly turned toward the clever and enigmatic wife. Was she a cold-blooded poisoner, an unfairly accused woman, or simply caught in a tangle of love, betrayal, and Victorian double standards? From the courtroom drama that fascinated the public to the enduring mystery of how the chloroform got there, we explore a case that still baffles true crime historians today. Grab your coffee (but maybe skip the mystery additives), and join us as we unravel Adelaide Bartlett’s deadly puzzle.

In this episode, Rachel, Cat, and Em dig into one of the most haunting cold cases in American true crime history: the Keddie murders. In April 1981, a quiet cabin in Keddie, California became the scene of unimaginable violence — a family and their friends brutally attacked, with answers still missing decades later. Despite suspects, theories, and new evidence surfacing over the years, the question remains: who was behind the massacre at Cabin 28? The Pandemonium team unpacks the horror, the heartbreak, and the enduring mystery of the Keddie murders.Links We Used : The Keddie Murders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keddie_murdershttps://allthatsinteresting.com/keddie-cabin-murdershttps://www.abc10.com/article/news/crime/true-crime/murder-in-cabin-28-keddie-murders-unsolved-california/103-1e3e7671-8c2c-4f4c-abb3-fae3ae07425ehttps://www.mamamia.com.au/keddie-murders/https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/unsolved-mystery-family-tied-up-29225605https://truecrimefilesusa.com/keddie-cabin-murders-unsolved-1981-mystery/https://thecrimewire.com/true-crime/The-Keddie-Murders-Gruesome-Quadruple-Homicide-Still-Unsolved-After-40-Yearshttps://web.archive.org/web/20180415002049/http://www.plumasnews.com/keddie-murders-revisited/https://people.com/crime/people-magazine-investigates-offers-new-clues-on-keddie-cabin-murders-giving-survivor-a-little-more-hope/https://www.suecoletta.com/murder-at-cabin-28/https://cnpa.com/cja2018/print/2018_California_Journalism_Awards___Print_Division/General/03_In-Depth_Reporting_%28WD%29/First_Place_Feather_River_Bulletin_1/Attachment_02.pdfhttps://www.thetruecrimedatabase.com/case_file/the-keddie-murders/https://discover.hubpages.com/politics/The-Keddie-Murders-Gruesome-Quadruple-Homicide-Still-Unsolved-After-40-Yearshttps://www.thoughtco.com/cold-case-the-keddie-cabin-murders-4108811https://www.reddit.com/r/babylonbee/comments/1hs2z07/fbi_asks_x_users_to_please_stop_solving_crimes/https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/1cl7qng/who_committed_the_keddie_cabin_murders_an/https://www.10minutemurder.com/blog/the-keddie-murders-secrets-suspects-and-missing-pieces/https://www.abc10.com/article/news/crime/true-crime/murder-in-cabin-28-keddie-murders-unsolved-california/103-1e3e7671-8c2c-4f4c-abb3-fae3ae07425ehttps://www.sonypictures.com/movies/cabin28#:~:text=The%20shocking%20true%20story%20based,peaceful%20holiday%20resort%20of%20Keddiehttps://screenrant.com/strangers-movie-true-story-real-crimes-inspiration-explained/#:~:text=The%20second%20inspiration%20for%20The,%2Dlife%20killer(s)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5457484/#:~:text=Based%20on%20one%20of%20the,isolated%20cabin%20by%20mysterious%20assailantshttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26528016/glenna_susan-sharphttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26528040/dana_hall-wingatehttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26527984/john_steven-sharphttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26527850/tina_louise-sharphttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26528016/glenna_susan-sharp⁠https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/216963744/severin-john-boubede⁠https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/211166106/martin_ray-smartt
The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat turn their attention to unravelling the nauseating case of another arsenic killer. She was known by many nicknames - the Giggling Granny, the Jolly Black Widow, and even the Lonely Hearts Killer - behind her cheerful nickname lurked one of the deadliest women in true crime history.With arsenic as her weapon of choice, Nannie left behind a string of poisoned husbands, family members, and anyone unlucky enough to stand in her way. She was a woman who turned love, family, and even pie into murder weapons.From her string of poisoned husbands to her shocking confessions, we explore how charm, laughter, and arsenic made her one of America’s most infamous killers - and update our ongoing “Why is it Always Arsenic?” tally, which now stands at 6.Grab your coffee (just maybe not if she made it), and settle in for a darkly fascinating ride.

In this episode, Cat, Rachel, and Em take a somber look at the life and crimes of John Arthur Getreu - a man who lived quietly in the shadows for decades while carrying the weight of horrific murders but not denying a single word.From his early conviction overseas to the cold cases that haunted Stanford University for nearly half a century, we trace how advances in DNA finally brought the truth to light.This is not a story of mystery or myth, but one of long-delayed justice for the women whose lives he stole.

The Pandemonium team is back - and this time, Cat, Rachel, Meg, and Em are headed to 18th-century Russia, where the tea is hot, the winters are cold, and the noblewomen are absolutely monstrous. Meet Darya Nikolayevna Saltykova, better known as The Blood Duchess: a wealthy widow who spent her free time brutally unaliving her serfs and complaining to God about her love life. Was she a sadistic serial unaliver hiding behind holy icons, or just the Russian aristocracy’s answer to “bad vibes only”? The crew digs into the blood-soaked snow of history, decoding Darya’s divine excuses, wildly inefficient murder methods, and extremely unrelatable lifestyle. Come for the history, stay for the petty vengeance, and the historical hauntings.Links We Used: SaltyChika: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darya_Nikolayevna_Saltykova https://podcasts.apple.com/np/podcast/darya-saltykova-serial-killer/id1468332063?i=1000539734502 https://www.reddit.com/r/PeriodDramas/comments/1gj3d93/the_bloody_duchess_a_historical_series_about/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Darya_Nikolayevna_Saltykova_-_GRpergament.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darya_Saltykovahttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt8916868/ https://russiapedia.rt.com/prominent-russians/history-and-mythology/darya-saltykova/ https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/140829421/daria-nikolaevna-saltykova https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darya_Petrovna_Saltykova https://vocal.media/criminal/darya-nikolayevna-saltykova-the-ruthless-noblewoman-s-reign-of-terrorhttps://dbpedia.org/page/Darya_Nikolayevna_Saltykova https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-famous-people/darya-saltykova-0014028https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltykov_family https://bridgetomoscow.com/upcoming-group-tours/ghost-tour-of-moscowhttps://www.hauntedhistories.co.uk/the-saltychikha https://www.rbth.com/arts/travel/2013/11/25/haunted_and_supernatural_moscow_31117 https://www.truecrimetrine.com/episodes/episode-03-westley-allan-dodd-phc6r-hg33m-y89sh-mna42-c497z-3nz94-dkm4k-sm5ys-wxcdz-5xzsh-cehpf-75cnd-pxja4-l62da-n429d-7g8nk-drxsp-s8t2p-y6rxl-j9sps-nw23p-3nmeh-hyehm-tzgpc-bpx6nhttps://www.tahirih.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Child-Marriage-in-the-States-Two-Pager.pdf
Cat and Rachel dive into one of the darkest corners of America's extremist underground - the violent, hate-fueled world of Chevie Kehoe and Daniel Lee.Raised on white supremacist ideology and armed with a terrifying sense of purpose, their paths would lead to robbery, murder, and an alleged connection to the Oklahoma City bombing.This episode unpacks their ties to the Aryan Nations, his twisted interpretation of polygamy and religion, and the horrific crimes committed in the name of his so-called revolution.Strap in - this one’s a heavy descent into radicalization, family betrayal, and the monstrous power of belief gone wrong.Links We Used - Chevie Kehoe & Daniel Lee Lewis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevie_Kehoehttps://www.splcenter.org/resources/reports/trail-death-follows-white-supremacist-gang-led-chevie-kehoe/https://www.atf.gov/our-history/historical-articles/kehoe-brothershttps://www.nytimes.com/1999/12/12/us/how-an-honor-student-became-a-white-warrior.htmlhttps://www.oxygen.com/a-plan-to-kill/crime-news/chevie-kehoe-daniel-lee-murdered-mueller-family-for-gunshttps://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-8th-circuit/1342871.htmlhttps://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2020/jul/15/sentencing-baffles-lawyers-victims-kin/https://www.splcenter.org/resources/reports/kehoe-gang-timeline/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSSIzIvBhLwhttps://www.wnewsj.com/2022/02/21/brothers-troubles-americas-issues-didnt-begin-or-end-here/https://www.justice.gov/archive/usao/are/news/2008/August/Kehoe_opinion.pdfhttps://apnews.com/general-news-b1bc1dc9b483498f889735d1189851f3https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Lewis_Leehttps://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/1990/08/02/accident-at-party-suspected-in-slaying-of-city-man/62557183007/https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/76840757/joseph_john_wavrahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIBpPbGAAM
