Crimes and Consequences

Popstar Cyndi Lauper once sang, “Money Changes Everything” and nothing could be more true. People fight about money every day, and it pits family members against one another. Husbands against wives, siblings against one another, parents vs. children...it goes on and on. One such family that was affected by money was the Mack family in Reno, Nevada. When Charla met Darren Mack and they fell madly in love, Darren didn’t mind lavishing his bride with trips and expensive gifts. But when Charla filed for divorce, the wheels fell off the bus, so to speak. Once earning in excess of $40,000.00/month, Darren claimed he only made $5,000.00/month and could afford the financial agreement he made with Charla in Court. But when he was ordered to pay Charla her million-dollar settlement, Darren lost it. He decided murder was the only way to solve his financial problems...but Charla wasn’t the only victim he had in mind.

EP134: KILLER ON THE LOOSE

In 2019, Keyona Griffin called 911 and whispered for them to please hurry because she was about to die. In the call, she told the dispatcher that her aunt had already been murdered and she was going to be next. But the urgency in her voice somehow got lost in translation, and the police left after knocking on her door and getting no answer.
Keyona's death and the murder of her aunt set in motion a sequence of events that resulted in two more people being killed. The murderer, Derrell Demon Brown, is currently on the U.S. Marshal's Most Wanted List. If you have seen this man, please call 1-877-WANTED-2 or go online to www.usmarshals.gov/tips. There is a $25,000 reward. Warning: Derrell Demon Brown is a very unstable and dangerous man.

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.
