Crimes and Consequences

The province of British Columbia in Canada was gripped by a string of disappearances and deaths of its young people in the early 1980s. At first, the police thought maybe the missing children were runaways, and didn’t spend too much of their time on the cases. However, when a 9-year-old boy disappeared and then his body was later found, the police realized that 9-year-olds don’t usually run away from home. Eventually, the police would arrest Clifford Olson, who would be dubbed “The Beast of British Columbia”. Listen to this week’s episode to hear about the 11 murders of children from the ages of 9-18 that Clifford confessed to, as well as other possible murders for which he may have been responsible.

EP136: THE WHINY-VOICED SERIAL KILLER

In the early 80s, a serial killer was murdering women in the twin cities of Minnesota with an ice pick. After each attack, he would call 911 weeping and begging for the police to put an end to his terror. It was only after one of his victims escaped that Paul Michael Stephani was finally apprehended. Fifteen years later, when Paul learned he had terminal cancer, he made a full confession of all his crimes, which included a murder completely off the authorities' radar. Listen to this episode to hear his ultra-annoying voice and the unsavory details of his murder spree.

EP138: THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS

A serial killer roamed the sleepy town of Kicevo in Macedonia for over five years. During that time he lured four unsuspecting women, all cleaning ladies from the same neighborhood, to his den of torture. He held them captive, sometimes for months, before strangling them and dumping their bodies in areas where he knew they would be found quickly. This is the terrorizing tale of the Kicevo Monster.
