“Eat to live, don't live to eat.”

― Benjamin Franklin

In this episode, we journey back to 1879 and discuss the horrific crimes of Swift Runner, a Cree man who murdered and cannibalized his entire family. When asked why he committed such an unspeakable act, Swift Runner blamed his crimes on the Wendigo. The Wendigo is a creature of legend that haunts the northern forests with an insatiable lust for human flesh. It eats and eats, but is never satisfied.
Why did Swift Runner slaughter his entire family? Was he really under the influence of the Wendigo? How could a man commit such a horrific act?
Sit down, relax, and let the mayhem begin.

In this episode, we journey back to 1994 and discuss a murder that took place in my home town of The Pas, Manitoba, Canada. The abduction and murder of 13 year-old Sarah Dawn Kelly rattled a small town to its core, but when the identity of the child murderer was revealed, not too many people were surprised.
Throughout the episode I explain my connection to the victim, talk a little s**t about my home town, and go into detail about how I was interviewed by police concerning Sarah's disappearance.
