Mickey Thompson "The Murders of Mickey & Trudy Thompson" Ep 052
Homicide Worldwide Podcast
12/24/21 • 95 min
In the early morning of March 16, 1988, racing legend Mickey Thompson and his wife Trudy were shot and killed in their driveway as they were leaving for work. Two gunmen left the scene - on bicycles no less - and have never been identified or apprehended.
After 13 years of no leads in the investigation, Mickey Thompson’s former business partner, Michael Goodwin, was arrested for the murders in 2001.
Thompson and Goodwin had entered into a business partnership that ended quickly and badly, over money disputes and resulted in many bitter lawsuits with Michael Goodwin filing for bankruptcy and Mickey not...
Many witnesses stated that in the months before the murders took place that, Michael had made statements that he intended to kill Mickey Thompson but there was no physical proof that he did.
Although the evidence at his trial was purely circumstantial, nineteen years after the murders, in January 2007, a jury convicted Michael Goodwin on two counts of first degree murder. Michael Goodwin was sentenced to life in prison, without parole. In addition, the jury found that the murders of Mickey and Trudy were committed by "means of lying in wait" - a very fancy way of saying that, the murders were a hit.
Michael Goodwin has strongly contested his conviction due to the lack of physical evidence and he has made many attempts to appeal, all of which have been unsuccessful. He has continued to maintain his innocence in the years following the conviction.

Sharon Williams & Walter Scott "To Die For" Ep 066
Homicide Worldwide Podcast
03/31/22 • 84 min
Walter Scott disappeared on December 27, 1983. In April 1987, his body was found floating face-down in a cistern. He had been hog-tied and shot in the chest. Scott's second wife, JoAnn (née Calcaterra), who died on May 12, 2019, at age 75, pleaded guilty to hindering the prosecution of his murder, and received a five-year sentence. She served 18 months of her sentence as a result of a plea bargain. Her lover, James H. Williams Sr., whom she married in 1986, was found guilty of two counts of capital murder involving the deaths of his previous wife, Sharon Williams (who died from what was originally thought to be an auto accident in 1983), and of Walter Scott. Police were told where to look for Scott's body by Williams' son who was incarcerated at the time, and didn't get along with his father.
The case was documented on Court TV's Forensic Files (episode: The Cheater), HBO's Autopsy 3: Voices From the Grave, Secrets of the Morgue (episode: The Wells Run Dry), and as part of The New Detectives: Case Studies in Forensic Science (episode: Grave Discoveries).
On September 11, 2011, James Williams, at age 72, died in prison from a heart condition while serving his life sentence. On January 15, 2003,Walter Simon Notheis Sr. (Walter’s father) died.

Nancy Brophy "The Murder of Daniel Brophy" Ep 074
Homicide Worldwide Podcast
06/02/22 • 85 min
Daniel Brophy was found dead from a gunshot at the Oregon Culinary Institute in Portland, Oregon on June 2, 2018. On May 25, 2022, his wife, Nancy Crampton-Brophy, was found guilty of second-degree murder for his death.
On the morning of June 2, 2018, Daniel Brophy left for work at the Oregon Culinary Institute, where he was a teacher. Students arrived later and found his body in a kitchen, dead from two gunshots. The death was investigated as a homicide.
Investigation and trial of Nancy Crampton-Brophy
Suspicion later fell on his wife Nancy Crampton-Brophy. Ms. Crampton-Brophy had told investigators during the initial investigation that she had walked the dogs and had a shower on the morning of the incident. In 2020, investigators found traffic camera footage that showed her driving to and then departing from the culinary school during a 13-minute window when the homicide happened. Crampton-Brophy amended her story and said she had no memory of such a drive, and that she was likely on a coffee run that she forgot about due to the stress of the day's events. She was indicted and was put on trial for her husband’s murder in April 2022. Nancy Crampton-Brophy was the author of several self-published novels including The Wrong Husband and an online essay titled "How to Murder Your Husband", which increased public and media interest.
At trial, the prosecution assembled a case built on circumstantial evidence that they said indicated Crampton-Brophy was the murderer. They argued that her false account of her whereabouts on the morning of the murder indicated her account was untrustworthy. For motive, prosecutors alleged that Crampton-Brophy was in financial distress and killed her husband for several life insurance policies totaling around $1.2 million as well as sole ownership of the $300,000 house. Forensic evidence indicated that Daniel Brophy had been shot by two bullets from a Glock pistol. The prosecution entered evidence that Ms. Crampton-Brophy had purchased a "ghost gun" kit of parts from the Internet. She conceded that she had bought a slide and a barrel for a Glock pistol via eBay. She contended that the purchase had been made with her husband's support, that she had given the gun to her husband to protect himself while looking for mushrooms, and that the gun components were for research on a new novel involving a woman who carefully acquired gun parts.
Nancy Crampton-Brophy was convicted of second degree murder on May 25, 2022.

Stephanie Lazarus "The Murder of Sherri Rasmussen" Ep 068
Homicide Worldwide Podcast
04/14/22 • 101 min
Stephanie Ilene Lazarus is a former Los Angeles police detective who was convicted in March 2012 of the 1986 first-degree murder of her ex-boyfriend's new wife, Sherri Rasmussen. Lazarus is serving a 27-year to life sentence for the offense at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla, California. Her case made national headlines.
On February 24, 1986, Sherri Rasmussen, a critical care nurse was living in a condominium with her new husband, and Stephanie Lazarus' ex-boyfriend, John Ruetten. That night, Ruetten found his new wife beaten to death, and shot numerous times with a .38 caliber revolver.
The crime was initially deemed to be a robbery gone awry, as Rasmussen's BMW was stolen. The initial suspects were two Latino men who were believed to have committed other burglaries in Rasmussen's neighborhood. Lazarus was also a suspect in the initial investigation, but was later cleared. Rasmussen's family still believed Lazarus was involved, as they had both dated Ruetten and Lazarus had once showed up at the Glendale Adventist Medical Center where Rasmussen worked and threatened her, supposedly stating: "If I can't have John, then nobody else will." In the meantime, Lazarus continued working with the Los Angeles Police Department; she went on to start her own private investigation firm, Unique Investigations.
Twenty-three years after the murder of Sherri Rasmussen, the case was still unsolved. In February 2009, however, a cold case detective squad decided to re-investigate the case. Investigators discovered female DNA from a bite mark on Rasmussen's body, and Stephanie Lazarus became the prime suspect. After the detectives were able to match Lazarus' DNA with the DNA found on Rasmussen's body, Lazarus was arrested for the murder on June 5, 2009. She was then allowed to retire early from the LAPD; she was held in the Los Angeles County Jail with a $10 million bail.
Stephanie Lazarus' murder trial began in early 2012. Prosecutors believed Lazarus' motive for the murder was jealousy over Sherri Rasmussen's relationship with her ex-boyfriend, John Ruetten. The prosecutor, Deputy District Attorney Shannon Presby stated, "A bite, a bullet, a gun barrel and a broken heart. That’s the evidence that will prove to you that defendant Stephanie Lazarus murdered Sherri Rasmussen.
Lazarus' attorney, Mark Overland, argued that the investigation into Rasmussen's death was botched from the beginning, and the evidence collected did not point to Lazarus as Rasmussen's killer.
On March 8, 2012, Lazarus was convicted of Rasmussen's murder in the first-degree. She was later sentenced in May 2012 to 27 years to life in prison, and she is currently serving her sentence at the Central California Women's Facility. She will be eligible for parole in 2039.

Ivan Milat "Backpacker Murderer" Ep 002
Homicide Worldwide Podcast
01/08/21 • 95 min
In the 1980s and 1990s, people from all over the globe would come to experience the culture and see the sights of Australia – from the Outback to the Great Barrier Reef and everything inbetween. As a young American, I myself, had a total fascination with Australia, thanks to films like Young Einstein and Crocodile Dundee... I was about 13 when these films were out and like so many others, I became obsessed and wore various shades of tan and khaki to live out my fantasies, but that was as far as my journey to Australia ever took me... to this day I’ve still never been.
This free-spirited backpacker culture, allowed some of the people who embarked on their journies, to take once-in-a-lifetime adventures, to meet new people, to make new friendships and to gain valuable life experiences that one can typically only get when they are young -- before the disparaging side of life sets in -- and we become confined to work, kids and the demands of life. This was a time when young people in particular, could come and enjoy the carefree, nomadic lifestyle of backpacking, going with the flow, staying in hostels and not having any ties to responsibility until there was a need to make a little money for the next stop.
This was supposed to be just that kind of special time for the victims in this eposide, who were, by all accounts, trusting people who who loved life and were eager to live them. Instead it turned into a nightmare beyond imagination for them and left the hearts of their families and friends broken forever.
The 1990’s were the last time things would still be simple – a sort of twilight in time where a person could go do what they wanted and they weren’t tracable like today – it seems like it was forever ago. The distractions of today were only a futuristic fantasy, seen on shows like Star Trek or the Twilight Zone.
There of course, was no such thing as google maps or the internet as we know it today to tell you where to go – no yelp to tell you where to stay away from, and naturally, there was no such thing as an affordable cell phone plan or an app to allow the tracking of your friends.... no texting and often times weeks would go by before family would hear from their loved ones traveling abroad, that they were safe.
Sometimes travelers would be in such remote areas that they communicated only through the mail and checked their post offices only as they were passing back through. If something was wrong it could be a while before people knew, and this set the perfect backdrop for Australias worst serial killer.
Since nobody knew differently, and this was the way people communicated, generally, this was accepted and while most parents didn’t love the idea of gaps in time where they didn’t hear from their kids most trusted their children and understood that they were broadening their horizons. Since there was no such thing as a cell phone yet, it was just the times we lived in.
People often relied on recomendations from others - word of mouth was the best way to discover things and information that was passed along by people with like interests. One way that foreign travelers would get around was to hitchhike – which, at the time, was considered safe and widely practiced. So much so that there were books and guides published by experienced travelers for those who were unfamiliar with the resources to travel more economically.
People regarded backpacking in Australia as safe, and the people friendly, however, during the years between 1989 and 1992, that would all change and travel would not ever be the same again. Australia would now be seen as a treacherous place where people go missing and sometimes turn up murdered.

Diane and Rachael Staudte "The Antifreeze Murders" Ep 067
Homicide Worldwide Podcast
04/08/22 • 91 min
The Staudte Family Murders case, also known as "The Antifreeze Murders", was a series of killings and attempted killings within the Staudte Family of Springfield, Missouri during a five-month period in 2012. Family matriarch Diane Staudte and her daughter, Rachel Staudte, committed the crimes together using antifreeze purchased off the internet, with the rationale that antifreeze sold online would not contain the added bittering agent in commercial chemicals making the ethylene glycol poison detectable. Diane's husband, Mark Staudte, was murdered first, followed five months later by her autistic 26-year-old son, Shaun Staudte. 24-year-old daughter Sarah Staudte had also been poisoned with the antifreeze, being taken to hospital in critical condition. Sarah survived the poisoning and later recovered, albeit with physical and neurological damage. Diane Staudte was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 2016, while Rachel Staudte pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in May 2015 as part of a plea deal in exchange for testifying against her mother at her trial, eventually being sentenced in March 2016 to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

Marie Fortunée LaFarge "Beauty and Death" Ep 063
Homicide Worldwide Podcast
03/10/22 • 72 min
Marie-Fortunée Lafarge (née Capelle; 15 January 1816 – 7 November 1852) was a French woman who was convicted of murdering her husband by arsenic poisoning in 1840. Her case became notable because it was one of the first trials to be followed by the public through daily newspaper reports, and because she was the first person convicted largely on direct forensic toxicological evidence. However, questions about Lafarge's guilt divided French society to the extent that it is often compared to the better-known Dreyfus affair.

Matej Čurko "The Slovak Cannibal" Ep 065
Homicide Worldwide Podcast
03/24/22 • 85 min
Matej Čurko (1968 – May 12, 2011), known as The Slovak Cannibal, was a Slovak murderer, cannibal and suspected serial killer. He was killed by police after attempting to entice a Swiss man to his death, and upon investigation, it was discovered that he had killed and eaten two women who had volunteered themselves to be murdered and cannibalized. Soon afterwards, police from Italy announced that the killer could be responsible for up to 28 other disappearances since 2009.
At the time of the murders, Čurko lived in Sokoľ, and regularly traveled to the Kysak forest, where he would meet and subsequently kill the victims. He met them mainly through suicide forums, using the handle "Orion218". The victims, most of whom had suicidal tendencies and openly professed their desire to end their lives, voluntarily agreed to be killed by the cannibal. The procedure involved the pair meeting in the forest, where Čurko would drug the victim before stabbing them in the heart. Afterwards, he would cut up the body using a meat cleaver or one of his many knives, and mask the odor of rotten flesh using pepper. Then, at his pleasure, he would eat whatever part of the body he desired, storing the rest in his refrigerator in Kysak and burying the bodies in shallow graves on his property.
During the search of his property, only two bodies were discovered: those of 30-year-old Elena Gudjakova, from Oravské Veselé, who went missing on June 23, 2010; and the other of 20-year-old Lucia Uchnárová, from Snina, who went missing on September 3, 2010. Both women had issues with mental health, with Lucia previously attempting suicide in 2008, and both had contacted Čurko through the Internet. Their bodies were later found in shallow graves on Čurko's property.
