Story Crime Podcast

I think this giant monster needs no introduction. Join Rachel and I as we discuss the life and crimes of The Co-Ed Killer Edmund Kemper. Kemper started killing at the age of just 15 years old when he murdered his grandparents in cold blood. But this was just the beginning of the havoc he would wreak in Northern California in the 1970's where he murdered 7 women before achieving his life's mission of killing the woman he hated the most: his mother.

We also discuss the upcoming dramatization of the Johnny Depp/ Amber Heard Trial, bringing Mindhunter back, and Rachel gets confused about who Norman Bates' mother is....

Happy Halloween Everyone! We decided that since it's the spookiest day of the year, we would celebrate by giving you guys two episodes this week, starting with Part One of a truly horrifying case that left both me and Rachel with nightmares. The case isn't Halloween related, however, this is a monster that could scare you any day of the year. We hope you enjoy....

William Bonin was one of three serial killers who would be given the moniker of "The Freeway Killer". During the years of 1979 and 1980, Bonin, along with four accomplices, would savagely rape, torture and murder at least 21 young men and boys, dumping their bodies along the California freeway systems. His level of sadism is unimaginable, and it goes without saying that we issue a strong trigger warning for this episode. Join Rachel and I while we discuss Bonin's horrific childhood, his early stints in prison, and the first several murders that he committed with the help of his four friends, Vernon Butts, Greg Miley, William Pugh, and James Munroe.

In this episode we travel to Melbourne, Australia where, in March of 1999, 15 year old Rachel Barber disappeared after attending dance school. Despite the police trying to convince her family that Rachel was simply a runaway, the Barber's, their family and friends, along with the community wouldn't give up hope of finding their daughter. After two weeks of searching, Rachel would be discovered murdered, but the suspect in this case was the last person anyone would've expected.

***I just wanted to let everyone know that despite me saying at the beginning of this episode that I wasn't sick, I was in fact struggling with a terrible head cold, so I'm sorry in advance that it sounds like I can't breathe for most of this! Thank you for your understanding!!!! E.***

****WE DID IT*** We made it all the way to 25 episodes and, a little warning, this one is going to be rough.

The Tool Box Killers were two American Serial killers by the names of Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris. The two men met in prison and concocted a detailed plan of how they were going to kidnap, torture, and murder teenage girls together. OG FBI profiler, John Douglas, once described Bittaker as the most disturbed individual he has ever profiled. The crimes they committed against the young women in this case are so horrifying that I want to take a moment right now to give a warning that this episode might not be for everyone. We will be discussing torture, abuse, rape, and murder. If these topics are triggering for you, please join us next time.
