Serial Napper | True Crime Stories for Naps - Jelka Pesic: The Mother in Law From Hell

Jelka Pesic: The Mother in Law From Hell

11/14/23 • 30 min

Serial Napper | True Crime Stories for Naps

When 25-year-old Alexandra Pesic married her husband, Joe, she believed she had found the man of her dreams - that the couple would live out the rest of their years in blissful matrimony. What she didn’t realize at the time, was that she was getting much more than a life partner. She was also getting a meddling mother-in-law, named Jelka Pesic.

While Alexandra believed that Jelka’s controlling and nitpicking behaviour was irritating and fully embodied the traits of a monster-in-law, she had no idea that her life was in danger. Not until she randomly received a copy of a true crime book in the mail featuring the story of a young woman who was terrorized before being murdered. The book highlighted several chilling passages describing horrific acts of violence against the woman - acts that would inspire the mother-in-law from hell to go through with her evil plan.

Linda Chen: A Wedding and a Funeral

Linda Chen was a 32-year-old mother of one with a history of dating terrible, abusive men. She thought her luck had finally changed when she met her fiance Mats Alm. The couple lived together in an apartment in Sweden and were just a week away from their wedding when tragedy struck.

Linda was last seen on a grocery store surveillance camera with her fiancee, Mats. All of the events that happened after that are unclear. Mats took the role of devastated fiancee very seriously during the two months Linda was missing, but there were many - including the police - who didn’t believe his story.

The suspicion was only heightened after Mats claimed he was kidnapped and beaten by two Chinese men who wanted his money. He said he woke up after being assaulted by these men, and to his shock and horror, lying next to him was the body of his missing fiancee, Linda.

The Springfield Three: An Empty Home on Delmar Street

It was the summer of 1992. Teenagers Suzie Streeter and Stacy McCall had just graduated from high school, spent the evening celebrating with friends and were gearing up for an incredible summer before their adult lives began. Stacy was going to be sleeping over at Suzie’s mother’s home that night - and then they had plans to go to a water amusement park in the morning.

However, the following day, Stacy, Suzie, and her mother Sherrill Levitt, were nowhere to be found in the empty house. While there were signs that something unexpected and possibly sinister had taken place, there was no indication of what exactly had happened to the three women or where they might have gone. 31 years later we still don’t have answers.

How is it possible for three women to just vanish together, never to be seen again? This is a question we’re going to explore tonight because we’re talking about the unsolved disappearance of the Springfield Three.
