    In this episode, we’re doing a deep dive into the twisted fate of Mark Twitchell, aka ‘The Dexter Killer’. late 20th century, the chilling phenomenon of copy-cat killers gained popularity, referring to disturbed individuals replicating the methods of infamous criminals. This twisted trend took a sinister turn in Edmonton, Canada, where a 29-year-old filmmaker, Mark Twitchell, plunged into an eerie obsession with Dexter Morgan, a fictional character from the TV series "Dexter." Twitchell, fueled by a macabre desire for notoriety, envisioned himself as a real-life vigilante serial killer. His gruesome plan unfolded as he lured innocent and unsuspecting men by using online personas, leading them to a meticulously prepared 'kill room.' Twitchell's dark ambitions were documented in a haunting manuscript as he aimed to translate his horrifying experiences into a blockbuster horror film, with the goal of catapulting himself into a world of fame and fortune. However, his plan was abruptly halted after his first murder, putting an end to his dangerous quest for fame and fortune.

    In this episode, we discuss the innocent man who fell victim to Twitchell’s plan, Johnny Altinger, as well as a separate man who would later come forward as a survivor. We touch on the element of men’s safety and the shame associated with them being victimized.

Holly spoke with her friend’s mother before heading back to her family home, which was in the same neighbourhood, but she didn’t make it there. This was completely out of character for Holly and her family was frantic. Her disappearance, which happened in broad daylight, led to the issuing of Ontario’s first amber alert. News stations, billboards and radios around the province spoke of the missing girl and a massive search began. Hundreds of community members and investigators began helping in the search to find Holly, and eventually to find the man that Holly’s mother refers to as “The monster”.

    The case of the murder of Holly Jones will be live in the coming days. It is a truly heartbreaking story that involves a loving family, a dedicated police force and a community coming together.

  • 23: EPISODE 23 // The Baraboo Bone Breaker
    Jun 22 2023
    In the summer of 1995, 13 year old Thad Phillips would throw himself down a flight of stairs in order to call for help. He had been held captive for almost 2 days, being tortured in the worst imaginable way. His abductor was a sexual sadist, who had a fascination with the sound of breaking bones. The boy had suffered multiple leg fractures and was on death’s door by the time the police found him. He was the lucky one. The abductor had done the same to another teenage boy a year prior, with this boy’s body being found badly decomposed in a nearby river. The person responsible for this was the neighborhood bully, a 17 year old sociopath named Joe Clark. This is the case of the Baraboo Bone Breaker.

  • 22: EPISODE 22 // Joseph Paul Franklin
    May 21 2023
    Joseph Paul Franklin, born James Clayton Vaughan, was a white-supremacist, racist, neo-nazi Serial killer who terrorized in the late 1900s. From 1977 to 1980, Franklin traveled across the United States in search of Jewish, Black or Interracial couples that he would most often shoot and kill in the name of his mission. This mission was to ignite a national race war, and he felt that each attack drew him closer to this goal.

    Franklin was able to fly under the radar due to the fact that the murders he committed seemed to be random, isolated attacks, since he would often flee the state immediately following. This separation between attacks made it difficult for authorities to link them together and to see that there was a psychotic racist serial killer at large. Throughout this “mission” it is believed that Joseph Paul Franklin killed more than 20 people. In addition to his murders, he injured at least six of his victims, with one being Hustler Magazine founder Larry Flynt, who ultimately became paralyzed from the waist down from the attack.

    In this episode, we will be discussing how Joseph Paul Franklin escalated to become a serial killer by the age of 27, making white-supremacy and the murder of “Jews and Blacks” his entire life’s purpose and believing that they were the “enemy of the white race”, as well as details of the more than 20 murders that are believed to have been committed by him, his eventual capture and death.

  • 21: EPISODE 21 // Casey Anthony - Where the Truth Lies Documentary Discussion
    Mar 14 2023
    14 years after being acquitted of a first degree murder charge for the death of her 3 year old daughter, Caylee, Casey Anthony took part in a 3-part docuseries that aired on Peacock. Casey, the woman who spun a ridiculous web of lies throughout the entire investigation, has now turned a new leaf and wants to have her “truth” be heard. She is still defending her innocence, and STILL saying she doesn’t know what happened to her daughter. As the series progresses, she tells the story of sexual abuse she suffered as a child, and a completely new narrative begins to arise. A new theory on what happened to Caylee. A theory with zero proof or evidence to back it up.

    Casey Anthony was the first case we did an episode on when starting our podcast and a lot of you wanted us to watch this new documentary on your behalf so that you could avoid giving her money (well played 👌🏼). So we’re here to break down the details and share all of our thoughts and opinions on this dumpster fire. We hope you enjoy and as always, thank you for supporting.

  • 20: EPISODE 20 // Adam Strong
    Feb 16 2023
    In this story, Kristen will be telling Amanda the story of Adam Strong. 18 year old Rori Hache, from Oshawa, Ontario, went missing August 29th, 2017. Two weeks later, her dismembered torso would be discovered floating in the Oshawa Harbour. As you can imagine, her family was absolutely distraught and went months without answers as to what happened, or where the rest of their daughter was. Four months after she was reported missing, her mutilated remains were pulled out of the pipes of Adam Strong’s pipes after plumbers were called to snake a clogged drain.

    After police searched 45 year old Adam Strong’s apartment, the remaining head and limbs of Rori were discovered in his freezer, along with her blood spatter all over items in his home. During their search, police discovered a skinning knife inside one of the kitchen drawers that had a piece of tissue-like material on it. The knife was sent away for DNA testing, and came back positively identified as missing 19 year old Kandis Fitzpatrick, who had disappeared 10 years prior, without a trace.

    What ensued after was the lowest form of pure and utter disrespect from Adam Strong. He toyed with investigators during his interrogations, showing off, cracking jokes and being sarcastic about the situation he was in. He was cocky, arrogant, and completely out of touch with the reality or gravity of the pain he had caused.

  • 19: EPISODE 19 // The Murder of Paula Gallant
    Jan 29 2023
    In this episode, Amanda will be telling Kristen about the murder of Paula Gallant. A case local to Nova Scotia, just outside of Halifax. In 2005, when the news of Paula's murder broke, it shocked the community. As a school teacher, Paula Gallant touched the lives of many, particularly her students, who cherished her as much as she cherished them.

    Paula Gallant was a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She was an elementary school teacher who was adored by her students and colleagues, as well as a talented and dedicated artist. At 36 years old, just two days after Christmas in 2005, Paula was found murdered, left in the trunk of her car in the parking lot of the school at which she worked. As year by year passed, Paula’s sisters struggled and fought to keep Paula Gallant’s name in the media and to keep the search for the perpetrator alive. Eventually, it had been almost five years that had gone by, without any indication that Paula’s killer would be found.

    At this point, to the community, it seemed as though the investigation had gone cold. However, unbeknownst to those outside the investigation, officers were working tirelessly behind the scene to gather enough evidence to put Paula Gallant’s murderer away. A case that would finally come to a close through the use of the Mr. Big operation, a tactic created in Canada, which involves an intricate undercover investigation that is designed to uncover the truth surrounding a potential suspect. This investigation, which occurred over the course of ten months, eventually led the perpetrator to elaborately confess to what they had done. This case is the story of two loving sisters who spent every waking day fighting for justice and to spread awareness of violence against women in Paula Gallant’s memory.
