10 Minute Murder | Bingeable True Crime Stories

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. This one is going to stay with you.#LaceyFletcher #TrueCrime #LouisianaTrueCrime #MurderByNeglect #SlaughterLouisiana #TrueCrimePodcast #VulnerableAdults🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

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.

Herbert Mullin: The Santa Cruz Killer Who Believed Murder Prevented EarthquakesIn 1972, Herbert Mullin murdered thirteen people across Santa Cruz, California, during a six-month killing spree that terrorized the community already known as the "Murder Capital of the World." The homicide investigation revealed victims ranging from a hitchhiking college student to a Catholic priest killed inside a confessional booth, with forensic evidence and detective work eventually connecting the seemingly random murders to one disturbed killer whose conviction would hinge on whether his paranoid schizophrenia diagnosis proved legal insanity.Herb Mullin genuinely believed he was saving California from sliding into the Pacific Ocean. He wasn't hunting for power or sexual gratification. He was a former high school golden boy, voted Most Likely to Succeed, who had his brain completely shatter after his best friend died in a car crash. He thought if he could get thirteen people to telepathically agree to die, their blood would keep the San Andreas Fault from ripping the state in half. The mental health system saw him deteriorating in real time and still couldn't prevent what was coming.#HerbertMullin #SantaCruzKiller #TrueCrime #SerialKiller #ColdCase #MurderPodcast #CaliforniaCrime🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

From First-Round Pick to Murder Conspiracy: The Fall of Rae CarruthIn November 1999, Charlotte real estate agent Cherica Adams was shot four times in an ambush on Rea Road orchestrated by her boyfriend, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Rae Carruth, who faced mounting child support obligations and refused to accept her pregnancy. The investigation revealed a murder-for-hire conspiracy involving career criminal Van Brett Watkins, drug dealer Michael Kennedy, and Stanley Abraham, with forensic evidence including Adams' 12-minute 911 call and handwritten hospital notes identifying Carruth before her death 28 days later.This is the story of a first-round NFL draft pick who recruited criminals from Charlotte's underworld to eliminate the mother of his unborn child, a woman who spent her final moments ensuring her son would survive and her killer would be identified. We're talking about a movie date that ended in gunfire, a grandmother's forgiveness that defies understanding, and a boy born into trauma who became living proof that some miracles happen in the darkest moments.#RaeCarruth #ChericaAdams #TrueCrime #NFLScandal #CarolinaPanthers #MurderConspiracy #ChancellorLeeAdams🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Ray Lewis and the Super Bowl Murders: The Buckhead Stabbing CaseIn January 2000, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and two friends were charged with the murders of Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar outside an Atlanta nightclub during Super Bowl weekend. The investigation revealed tactical knives purchased days before, a missing blood-soaked suit, destroyed photographs, and a code of silence that nearly derailed the entire case. What started as a champagne bottle to the head ended with two young men from Akron bleeding out on a Buckhead street, while one of football's biggest stars faced life in prison. The trial exposed deep fractures in witness testimony, questionable police tactics, and a self-defense claim that would shock the nation when the jury delivered its verdict after just five hours of deliberation.#RayLewis #TrueCrime #SuperBowlMurder #BuckheadKilling #BaltimoreRavens #UnsolvedMurder #AtlantaCrime🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

Route 40 Killer: Steven Brian Pennell and the Blue Van of DeathThere's something deeply unsettling about a killer who looks like everyone else. Steven Brian Pennell was a married electrician with two kids, the guy who'd wave to you from his driveway while mowing the lawn. Between 1987 and 1988, he turned a stretch of highway in Delaware into his own personal nightmare factory. Route 40 became a place where women disappeared into a blue van and were found days later showing signs of torture that would make seasoned homicide detectives need a minute. This is the story of how a female undercover cop stared into the eyes of a predator, how cutting-edge forensic science caught up with evil, and how a killer demanded his own execution while quoting the Bible and refusing to reveal where he'd hidden his final victim's body.#StevenBrianPennell #Route40Killer #DelawareSerialKiller #TrueCrime #SerialKiller #UnsolvedMysteries #ForensicEvidence🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

The Assassination of Nipsey Hussle in South LAIn March 2019, rapper and community leader Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed outside his Marathon Clothing store at the intersection of Crenshaw and Slauson in South Los Angeles. The murder investigation revealed that Eric Holder Jr., a fellow Rollin' 60s Crips member, fired over ten shots at Hussle following a brief conversation about street rumors. The homicide trial of Eric Holder Jr. resulted in a first-degree murder conviction and a sentence of 60 years to life in prison.So here's what makes this case absolutely devastating. Nipsey wasn't killed by a rival gang or some random street violence. He was murdered by someone from his own set, someone he'd known for years, right in front of the store he built to save his neighborhood. This is the story of two men who came from the exact same streets, grew up in the same gang, but took completely different paths. One became a visionary who met with LAPD to discuss peace. The other struggled with untreated schizophrenia and got stuck in a cycle he couldn't escape. What happened in that parking lot on March 31st wasn't some elaborate conspiracy. It was something way more tragic and way more preventable.#NipseyHussle #TrueCrime #LosAngelesMurder #EricHolderJr #MarathonClothing #Crenshaw #GangViolence🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.

The Girlfriend in the Cooler: The Wade Allen CaseWade Allen strangled and dismembered his girlfriend Kelly Jean Warner in May 2019 in Sturgis, Michigan. Police discovered her mutilated remains stored in two coolers inside Allen's apartment after an anonymous tip. The 39-year-old pleaded no contest to second-degree homicide, attempted dismemberment, and attempted third-degree criminal sexual conduct. While incarcerated at St. Joseph County Jail, Allen sexually assaulted a cellmate who had reported his murder confession to authorities. A judge sentenced Allen to 39-60 years for murder with consecutive sentences for assault, effectively ensuring he'll likely die in prison.This is the story of a woman whose transient lifestyle made her disappearance almost invisible, and a man whose brain might have been wired for violence. Kelly Jean Warner, 43, lived a life that didn't fit neatly into society's boxes. When she vanished in spring 2019, there were no immediate alarm bells because people like Kelly sometimes go weeks without contact. That silence became her killer's greatest advantage. But her sister Lisa refused to let Kelly disappear quietly, and that persistence helped crack open one of the most disturbing murder cases in Michigan's recent history. We're going to talk about what happens when someone's lifestyle makes them vulnerable, when a psychopath moves through a small town undetected, and how a catastrophic failure in the jail system allowed a murderer to victimize someone all over again.#WadeAllen #KellyJeanWarner #KellyWarner #TrueCrime #Michigan #Sturgis #Murder🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.
