Damsel of Death- Episode 102- Aileen Wuornos
In this gripping episode, we delve deep into the chilling case of Aileen Wuornos, one of America's most infamous female serial killers. Known as the "Damsel of Death," Wuornos' tragic life and horrifying crimes have captured the attention of the world. Join Matt, Lisa and Jules as we uncover the haunting backstory of Wuornos' troubled childhood, marked by abuse, abandonment, and a relentless struggle for survival. Through extensive research and expert interviews, we explore the psychological factors that contributed to the making of a monster, examining the complex web of trauma, mental health issues, and societal neglect that ultimately shaped Wuornos' path. Drawing from court records, police investigations, and first-hand accounts, we piece together the chilling timeline of Wuornos' murderous spree. From her first victim to her subsequent targets, we analyze the patterns and motivations behind her cold-blooded acts, shedding light on the disturbing psychology of a killer. As we navigate through the legal proceedings and media frenzy surrounding the case, we examine the controversies that arose, including debates around Wuornos' mental state and claims of self-defense. We also explore the impact of her troubled personal relationships, particularly her tumultuous alliance with Tyria Moore, on her murderous rampage. Finally, we delve into the aftermath of Wuornos' capture, her trial, and the ultimate resolution of her case. We examine the legacy she left behind, both as a notorious criminal and as a symbol of the deeply rooted issues of abuse and neglect that plague society. Prepare yourself for a thought-provoking exploration into the mind of a killer and the complex societal factors that can shape a life toward violence.

A Sock and Silly String Reloaded- Episode 101- Darlie Routier
Join Jules, Lisa and Matt on a thought-provoking and chilling journey as we explore the evidence, scrutinize the theories, and question the verdict that has left many perplexed and divided. In the quiet town of Rowlett, Texas, a seemingly idyllic suburban home transforms into a scene of unimaginable horror. On June 6, 1996, Darlie Routier, a young mother of three, claimed that an intruder had broken into her home, brutally attacked her and her children, and left her fighting for her life. Tragically, two of her sons did not survive the ordeal. But as investigators delved into the details, inconsistencies emerged, and Darlie soon found herself accused of a heinous crime: the murder of her own children. The case captured national attention, fueled by sensational media coverage and a series of shocking revelations that challenged the initial narrative. In this gripping podcast series, we explore the complexities of the Darlie Routier case, dissecting the evidence, examining the forensic analysis, and exploring the motives behind the prosecution's case. We delve into the courtroom drama, revealing the strategies employed by both the defense and the prosecution, and examine the role of public perception in shaping the outcome. We confront the lingering questions that continue to haunt this case: Did Darlie Routier commit these unspeakable acts? Or was she a victim of a flawed investigation and a rush to judgment? As we peel back the layers of this compelling story, we also explore broader themes of justice, the death penalty, and the impact of media on high-profile trials. We invite you to join us on this riveting exploration, where we seek to shed light on the Darlie Routier case and challenge your own perceptions of guilt and innocence. *Please note all opinions in the show are our own and solely in regards to the specific case we are discussing in this episode* Special thanks to the producers of todays show, your support means the world! : Michael and Carolyn Y.

Axes and Autopilot - Episode 95- Christopher Porco
The human brain is an incredible organ. You see, our brains spend every single moment firing signals so we can simply exist. On November 15, 2004, investigators would get a firsthand look at just how powerful the human brain can be. Peter Porco, a 52-year-old state Appellate Division court clerk and married father of two, was a man of habit. Peter had a simple morning routine- as many of us do, and November 15th was no different. Peter got out of bed, changed out of his clothes, went into his bathroom to freshen up over his sink, walked down the stairs, made some coffee, emptied the dishwasher, packed a lunch, wrote a check, walked over to his front door and ...collapsed to the floor...in a pool of his own blood. In truth November 15th was different…. Very different. Join Lisa, Matt, Jules and our very special guest Melissa- as we unpack one of the most savage crimes we've ever covered and debate who we believe was to blame. In the end, only you can decide- did the punishment fit the crime?
