Today, we’re heading deep into the icy wilderness of the Ural Mountains to unravel one of the most chilling unsolved mysteries of all time—the Dyatlov Pass Incident.

In 1959, nine experienced hikers set out on a trek through the Soviet Union’s remote mountains… but they never made it home. When search teams finally discovered their campsite, nothing made sense—their tent had been cut open from the inside, belongings were left behind, and the hikers had fled into the freezing night under bizarre and terrifying circumstances. What investigators found next only deepened the mystery, with unexplained injuries, missing clothing, and details that have fueled decades of speculation.

In this episode, we break down the timeline, the evidence, and the theories that continue to haunt this case more than half a century later.

Grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!

Today, we’re heading to Northern California for a case so brutal and disturbing that it left an entire community in shock—the murders of Claudia Maupin and Oliver “Chip” Northup.

In 2013, the elderly couple was found tortured and murdered inside their quiet home in Davis, California. What investigators uncovered was a horrifying crime involving kidnapping, robbery, and violence carried out by a group of young perpetrators whose actions seemed almost impossible to comprehend. As the details emerged, the case sparked outrage not only because of its brutality, but because of the ages of those involved and the disturbing lack of remorse shown afterward. 

So, grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!

What began as an ordinary night quickly turned into every family’s nightmare when Darlene disappeared, only to be found murdered soon after. As police scrambled for answers, the killer didn’t stay silent—he allegedly sent chilling taunts to investigators, her family, and the community, turning an already horrifying case into something even more sinister.

In this episode, we break down the crime, the investigation, and the lasting impact Darlene’s murder had on her loved ones and the wider Canadian public. Terri Prioriello has also spoken publicly in later years about the revictimization her family experienced during parole processes, which we cover here.

Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today’s episode steps into one of the darkest and most disturbing chapters of modern history: the atrocities committed by Japan’s Unit 731 during World War II.

Operating in secrecy under the Imperial Japanese Army, Unit 731 conducted inhumane experiments on thousands of victims, including prisoners of war and civilians. Under the leadership of Shirō Ishii, the unit pursued biological and chemical warfare research through acts that defy comprehension—leaving behind a legacy of suffering that would remain hidden from much of the world for years.

Come sip with us as we examine historical context, the victims, the ethics of medicine, and the lasting impact of this program.

In 1892, a young woman arrived alone at the grand seaside resort under the name Kate Morgan. For 5 days, she waited on the hotel’s veranda, telling staff she was expecting someone who never arrived. Just days later, her body was found on the steps leading to the beach. Authorities quickly ruled her death a suicide, but strange details surrounding her stay and the ghostly apparition that followed have kept her story alive for more than a century. 

In this episode, we unravel the history, the theories, and the haunting legacy of the Beautiful Stranger. Grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!

Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today, we’re checking into one of America’s most famously haunted hotels...the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, and the mysterious death of the woman...
In 1892, a young woman arrived alone at the grand seaside resort under the name Kate Morgan. For 5 days, she waited on the hotel’s veranda, telling staff she was expecting someone who never arrived. Just days later, her body was found on the steps leading to the beach. Authorities quickly ruled her death a suicide, but strange details surrounding her stay and the ghostly apparition that followed have kept her story alive for more than a century. 

In this episode, we unravel the history, the theories, and the haunting legacy of the Beautiful Stranger. Grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!

Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today, we’re traveling back in time to early Italy to uncover one of the most bizarre and chilling cases in true crime history—the story of Leonarda Cianciulli, better known as the “Soap Maker of Correggio".
In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Leonarda lured women into her home in the small town of Correggio with promises of jobs and opportunity, while turning their hope into something far more sinister. 

In this episode, we break down the victims, the psychology, and the twisted logic that led to one of Italy’s most infamous criminal confessions.

Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today, we’re heading to Hong Kong to discuss one of the most disturbing and infamous cases in modern true crime history—the 1999 “Hello Kitty” murder. 

When 23-year-old Fan Man-yee went missing, few could have imagined the horrifying truth that would eventually surface. Months later, investigators uncovered evidence of prolonged torture, captivity, and a crime scene so shocking it would leave a lasting scar on Hong Kong’s criminal history. The case not only horrified the public but also raised serious questions about gang culture, exploitation, and how the system fails young women. Buckle up for this one.

Today, we’re traveling back to 1960s New York City for one of the most sensational and controversial cases of its time—the deaths of Eddie and Missy Crimmins...and joining us for this deep dive is our special guest host, Anastasia Leipold! You might remember her commentary from an earlier episode. But this time, she's here with a more sinister message.

When two young children vanished from their Queens apartment in 1965, suspicion quickly turned to their mother, Alice Crimmins—a glamorous, independent woman whose lifestyle clashed sharply with public expectations of motherhood. As media headlines exploded and prosecutors built their case, the trial became less about forensic evidence and more about morality, image, and the role of women in society.

Was Alice Crimmins a cold-blooded killer—or the victim of a cultural witch hunt fueled by sexism and scandal? In this episode, we break down the investigation, the courtroom drama, and the societal pressures that shaped one of America’s most polarizing true crime stories.

In 2023, a seemingly ordinary family meal turned fatal when multiple guests fell critically ill after eating beef Wellington allegedly containing poisonous death cap mushrooms. Three people died, one narrowly survived, and attention quickly turned to the host: Erin Patterson. As investigators sifted through conflicting statements, missing evidence, and questions about intent, the case sparked international fascination and fierce debate.

Was this a tragic accident rooted in foraging mistakes—or a calculated act hiding behind a home-cooked meal? In this episode, we walk through the timeline, the victims, the science behind death cap poisoning, and why this case continues to divide public opinion as legal proceedings unfold.

In 2013, 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was found deceased inside a rolled-up gym mat at his high school. What authorities quickly ruled an accidental death soon became the center of intense public scrutiny, conflicting forensic interpretations, and widespread allegations of foul play. As Kendrick’s family pushed for answers, the case ignited national debate over investigative practices, racial bias, and whether crucial evidence was overlooked—or intentionally ignored. Was Kendrick’s death a tragic accident, or does the truth lie somewhere deeper beneath the surface? In this episode, we walk through the known facts, the medical findings, the unanswered questions, and why this case continues to divide opinions to this day.

In the mid-1980s, two young men attempted suicide after listening to heavy metal music, leaving one dead and the other permanently injured. Their families would later take the band Judas Priest to court, alleging that hidden subliminal messages in the music pushed the teens toward self-destruction. What followed was a landmark trial that forced society to confront fear, censorship, and the power we assign to art.

Can music be held responsible for violence and suicide—or was this a case of grief searching for answers? In this episode, we break down the trial, the science behind subliminal messaging, and how this case helped define artistic freedom in America.

Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today, we’re heading to Toronto to uncover the chilling story of Bruce McArthur—an unassuming mall Santa, landscaper, and serial killer who hid in plain sight for years.

Between 2010 and 2017, men from Toronto’s LGBTQ+ community began disappearing, many of them last seen in the city’s Gay Village. Despite mounting concerns, their disappearances were repeatedly dismissed—until a shocking arrest exposed a predator who had been trusted around children, neighbors, and clients alike. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a pattern of violence, neglect, and systemic failure that allowed McArthur to continue killing unchecked. How did so many warning signs go ignored? And what does this case reveal about whose lives are prioritized—and whose are overlooked?

In this episode, we examine the victims, the investigation, and the institutional blind spots that helped a killer remain invisible for far too long.

Grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!

In 2017, Jacob Stockdale murdered his mother and brother in rural Ohio, years after his family had been featured on the hit reality show Wife Swap. What initially looked like an isolated act of violence soon raised deeper questions about religious extremism, control, abuse, and what was really happening behind the cameras.

As details emerged, many began to reexamine the family’s past, the warning signs that were missed, and the disturbing dynamics that may have led to this tragedy. Was this simply a sudden act of violence—or the inevitable outcome of years of psychological damage hidden beneath a carefully curated image?
In this episode, we explore the murders, the trial, and the unsettling reality of how darkness can thrive even in plain sight.

Today, we’re diving into one of the most puzzling and hotly debated cases in recent true crime history—the mysterious death of Ellen Greenberg. In 2011, the 27-year-old teacher was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment with twenty stab wounds—including ten to the back of her neck. Despite the shocking details, her death was ruled a suicide, a decision that left investigators, medical experts, and the public in disbelief.

Over a decade later, Ellen’s parents continue to fight for justice, pushing to reopen the case and uncover what really happened that night. Was Ellen’s death truly self-inflicted, or is this a murder hidden beneath layers of error and cover-up? In this episode, we unravel the evidence, conflicting reports, and the ongoing battle for truth that refuses to fade.

Grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!

**CORRECTION TO ADD: the suicide loss survivor community has update the verbiage from "committed" to "died of". This episode was recorded prior to that correction, but it will be fixed in future episodes. We appreciate the community for letting us know and will adjust that in all future cases!**

After a night out with friends, Brianna vanished from a friend’s home near the University of Nevada campus. Weeks later, her body was found—her death linked to a string of violent assaults that had already been haunting the area. As investigators raced against time, DNA evidence became the key to exposing a predator hiding in plain sight: James Biela.

How did this case change the way Reno saw safety, trust, and its college-town nightlife? And how did Brianna’s memory inspire a movement for awareness and justice? In this episode, we revisit the investigation, the trial, and the legacy that still echoes through the Biggest Little City.

In 2022, a late-night encounter spiraled into a horror scene that stunned investigators. Police arrived to find evidence of a brutal killing that defied comprehension—acts so disturbing they shook even seasoned officers. As the trial unfolded, questions of mental health, manipulation, and pure depravity collided, leaving the nation wondering what drove Taylor Schabusiness to commit such an unthinkable crime. 
In this episode, we examine the timeline, the evidence, and the chilling courtroom revelations that turned a small Wisconsin town into the setting of a nightmare.

We also want to call out Laughing Cat Coffee here in town! 

So grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!

Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today, we’re confronting one of the most harrowing modern true crime stories—the Turpin family, whose Perris, California home became known as the House of Horrors.

In 2018, seventeen-year-old Jordan Turpin escaped the unthinkable, breaking free from years of abuse at the hands of her parents, David and Louise Turpin. What she revealed to police was almost beyond comprehension—thirteen siblings trapped in filth, chained to beds, starved, and silenced. Her courage not only exposed the horrors hidden behind suburban walls but also raised painful questions about how such cruelty could go unnoticed for so long. How did this nightmare go undetected for years? And what became of the Turpin children after their rescue? In this episode, we uncover the haunting truth of survival, neglect, and the lasting strength of one girl’s bravery.

Grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!

For decades, the campus—originally established in the late 19th century as part of Nevada’s institutional mental healthcare system—laid claim to a cemetery where hundreds of individuals, many forgotten and unidentified, were laid to rest. 

Matthew takes us behind the scenes of the research: the historical context of the asylum system in Nevada, the working-farm and self-sufficient model of the institution, and the shadows cast by minimal record-keeping, unmarked graves, and, maybe, institutional neglect.

Today, we’re diving into the haunting tales of two women bound by death and legend—Margaret Dickson, better known as Half-Hanged Maggie, and the eerie Romanian figure known as Loana Bloodthirster.
In early 18th-century Edinburgh, Maggie’s story shocked society when she was executed for concealing a pregnancy—only to wake up alive in her coffin. Meanwhile, in rural Romania, whispers of Loana’s vengeance linger long after her death, tied to disappearances, strange illnesses, and a chilling legend that refused to die.
Were these women victims of superstition and circumstance—or did something darker follow them beyond the grave? Join us as we untangle myth from history, exploring punishment, folklore, and the macabre line between life and death.

What started as noise complaints and ongoing disputes escalated into a dangerous pattern of chemical attacks—captured on hidden cameras.
We dive into the background of the case, the evidence investigators uncovered, and the disturbing reality of how stress and mental health can cause seemingly normal people to do the extreme.

What unfolded after Rebecca Zahau’s body was found only deepened the mystery. From the very beginning, investigators leaned toward calling her death a suicide. But the crime scene itself told a much stranger story. Rebecca was discovered bound, gagged, and hanging from a second-floor balcony at the Spreckels mansion. Her hands were tied behind her back, her ankles bound, and a T-shirt had been forced into her mouth.

Words painted on the door only raised more questions—was it Rebecca’s handwriting, or someone else’s attempt to stage the scene? Family members immediately disputed the idea that Rebecca would have taken her own life in such a humiliating and elaborate fashion. They described her as devout, hopeful, and determined to help Max recover. Experts in crime scene investigation also questioned the bindings—how could she have tied herself up so completely and still managed to hang herself? Despite these doubts, the San Diego Sheriff’s Department closed the case in 2012, ruling it a suicide. This decision ignited a firestorm of criticism, leading Zahau’s family to file a wrongful death civil suit. 

The Zahau case remains one of the most debated true crime mysteries of the last decade. What are your thoughts?

In July of 2011, a tragedy unfolded inside one of Coronado’s most exclusive mansions. Six-year-old Max Shacknai suffers a mysterious fall, and just two days later, Jonah Shacknai’s girlfriend, 32-year-old Rebecca Zahau, is found hanging naked from a balcony—her hands and feet bound, a cryptic message painted on a bedroom door. 

Authorities ruled it a suicide. Her family insists it was murder.

In this first part, we dive into the days leading up to Rebecca’s death: who she was, the key players in her life, Max’s devastating accident, and the chilling morning Rebecca was discovered. From the bizarre crime scene to the immediate questions about how investigators handled it, this case still sparks fierce debate over what really happened in that mansion. Grab your coffee and settle in—it’s time to unravel the first half of a case that blends mystery, scandal, and heartbreaking loss.

Stay spooky, ya'll!

Known as the "Hampton Roads Killer," Elton M. Jackson preyed on young men throughout the late '90s and early 2000s. A normal guy by day, predator by night, Jackson led a double life—luring vulnerable men with promises of money or hookups and then brutally taking their lives. In this episode, we honor the lives of the victims, examine the disturbing patterns in Jackson’s crimes, and follow the long and frustrating investigation that finally brought him to justice.

We also discuss how homophobia, racism, and victim-blaming delayed the case for years. Big shoutout to Renee Davis and the Melanin Mayhem podcast, where I first heard about this case—go give her a listen!)

So hang with us as we sip on some La Victoria Coffee and remember to stay spooky, y'all!

This week, we're hanging with Candace as she guides us through one of the most legendary unsolved cases in American history: the mystery of D.B. Cooper. In 1971, a man boarded a plane in Portland under the name Dan Cooper, hijacked it midair, and parachuted out with $200,000 in ransom—never to be seen again.

Who was he? Did he survive the jump? And why has no one ever come forward with answers in over 50 years? From skyjacking and FBI files to wild theories involving missing uncles and secret identities, we’ll explore every twist in the story of the only unsolved hijacking in U.S. history! This episode includes NEW EVIDENCE that leads us even closer to who-dunnit.

So grab your drink and settle in—and remember to stay spooky!

In September 2021, Fort Worth police made a grisly discovery: the dismembered remains of three individuals burning in a dumpster behind a church. What began as a routine investigation into arson quickly spiraled into one of the most chilling murder cases the city had ever seen. Jason Thornburg, a man with a dark past and deeply unsettling motives, would later confess to the murders, claiming they were part of a "sacrificial ritual." Thornburg's twisted belief system and his brutal acts left the community reeling. Join us as we unravel the chilling details of this case and explore the disturbing mindset of a man who believed he was fulfilling a divine mission.
So hang out with us, sip on some bean juice, and remember to stay spooky!

Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour.  Today we're sipping on some delicious lattes from local spot, Old World Coffee Roasters and getting into a chilling and recent true crime case. In...
In September 2021, Fort Worth police made a grisly discovery: the dismembered remains of three individuals burning in a dumpster behind a church. What began as a routine investigation into arson quickly spiraled into one of the most chilling murder cases the city had ever seen. Jason Thornburg, a man with a dark past and deeply unsettling motives, would later confess to the murders, claiming they were part of a "sacrificial ritual." Thornburg's twisted belief system and his brutal acts left the community reeling. Join us as we unravel the chilling details of this case and explore the disturbing mindset of a man who believed he was fulfilling a divine mission.
So hang out with us, sip on some bean juice, and remember to stay spooky!

With its bat-like wings, hooved feet, and eerie cries that echo through the trees, this cryptid has terrorized locals for centuries. But where did the legend originate? Was it truly born of a mother’s curse in the 1700s, or is it a tale steeped deep in women's reproductive rights? Join us as we untangle folklore, historical sightings, and the cultural impact of this spine-chilling figure.. We are also covering a tale a little further North, but no less creepy. Maryland’s rolling hills hide a darker secret: the Snallygaster. This part-reptile, part-bird creature with razor-sharp talons and a piercing shriek has haunted eastern regions since colonial times. Rooted in German immigrant folklore, the Snallygaster’s story is one of terror, sightings, and even a potential clash with the US President, Teddy Roosevelt. Could it be a manifestation of fear or a cryptid yet to be discovered? We’ll delve into the fascinating lore and uncover how this monster shaped local history.

In September 1978, 15-year-old Mary was hitchhiking through California when she accepted a ride from Lawrence Singleton. What started as a hopeful journey soon took a sinister turn as Singleton brutally assaulted her, severed both of her arms, and left her for dead in a remote canyon. Astonishingly, Mary fought her way to survival, navigating the rugged landscape until she finally found help. 
Singleton’s violence was monstrous, but Mary's survival was nothing short of miraculous. Despite her severe injuries, Mary managed to bring her attacker to justice, later testifying against him and paving the way for the creation of laws aimed at preventing similar injustices. Her story raises profound questions about the criminal justice system, as Singleton received a remarkably light sentence and went on to commit further violent crimes after his release. In sharing Mary’s story, we explore the resilience it takes to rebuild after such a tragedy and the flaws in a system that allowed a predator like Singleton back into society. This case reminds us to advocate for justice reform while honoring Mary’s relentless spirit to move forward and heal.

 In 1977, Teresita Basa, a quiet, well-respected respiratory therapist in Chicago, was found murdered in her apartment, her body set on fire in an attempt to hide the crime. For months, the police were stumped, with no leads or suspects—until an unexpected and eerie twist occurred. A co-worker of Basa, Remy Chua, claimed to be possessed by Basa’s spirit, who used Remy's voice to reveal the name of Teresita's killer.
The case forces us to ask: could a ghost truly communicate from beyond the grave, or was it all coincidence? Either way, the story of Teresita Basa is a haunting reminder that sometimes, the truth finds a way to reveal itself—no matter how strange the means.

So grab your coffee, settle in, and remember to stay spooky, ya'll!

In today's episode, we are hanging out with proud Texan, Willamina Rose Veneklasen, while she takes us into a chilling case straight out of her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas. 

The tragic murders of Andrea Wilburn and Stan Farr, and the attempted murder of Priscilla Davis, were all allegedly committed by millionaire oilman Cullen Davis. On the night of August 2, 1976, the lavish mansion Cullen previously shared with his estranged wife Priscilla became the scene of a bloodbath. Stan Farr, Priscilla’s new boyfriend, was shot dead, and her 12-year-old daughter, Andrea, was brutally killed. Despite being shot herself, Priscilla managed to survive the horrific attack and lived to tell the tale. But the real shocker? Cullen Davis, who was embroiled in a bitter divorce and legal battle with Priscilla, was soon arrested and charged with these heinous crimes. But this case is far from cut and dry. Cullen Davis, a man of wealth and power, managed to dodge conviction in what many believe was the result of his influence and resources. The trial became one of the most sensational in Texas history, filled with twists, including allegations of a hitman hired to kill Priscilla.

So grab your coffee and sip with us as we snack on coffee and cake pops from Superstitions Java, and unravel the twisted web of betrayal, power, and murder. And remember, stay spooky, ya'll!

Few serial killers in British history have left a legacy as chilling as Dennis Nilsen, a man whose calm demeanor hid the unspeakable horrors lurking beneath. Dubbed the ‘Muswell Hill Murderer,’ or the 'Kindly Killer', Nilsen preyed on young men in London during the late 1970s and early 1980s, luring them to his flat where he brutally killed them, often without any apparent motive beyond his own twisted desires. He would then engage in the eerie ritual of bathing and posing their bodies, as if prolonging his control over them even after death.
His capture in 1983, after human remains clogged his drains.  Hang with us as we sip on some caffeine from our local Starbucks and dive into this shocking and tragic tale of murder. 

And remember to stay spooky!

Despite a witness immediately reporting the crime, Amber’s kidnapper vanished along the town streets, and the search for her ended in heartbreak four days later when her body was found in a nearby creek. Amber's tragic murder remains unsolved to this day, leaving a haunting void in the hearts of those who loved her.
Out of this tragedy came a powerful legacy. Amber's story led to the creation of the AMBER Alert system, a tool that has since become vital in the fight against child abduction. Launched in 1997, just a year after her death, the system broadcasts urgent alerts to the public, harnessing the power of the community to aid in the swift recovery of missing children. The AMBER Alert has saved hundreds of lives, a testament to how one little girl’s story continues to make a difference long after she’s gone. Join us as we sip our coffee from Maple Moon Coffee Company and let’s remember Amber and the many children who have been brought home safely because of the system born from her tragedy.  And remember, to stay spooky, ya'll!

This case remains open and unsolved! Any tips can be sent to the hotline at 817-575-8823.
Call Crime Stoppers of Tarrant County at 817-469-TIPS (8477) for those who wish to remain anonymous.
There is up to a $10,000 reward available for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

Brian Deneke, a 19-year-old with a mohawk, was brutally run down by a car driven by Dustin Camp, a high school jock. What started as a petty rivalry between the punks and preps of Amarillo escalated into a deadly encounter that cost Brian his life. This wasn't just a senseless act of violence; it was a murder that laid bare the deep-seated prejudices simmering beneath the surface of a small town.
But the tragedy didn't end with Brian's death. The trial that followed would expose the disturbing ways in which societal biases infiltrated the courtroom.
The verdict and its aftermath would send shockwaves through Amarillo and beyond, prompting questions about justice, identity, and the dangerous consequences of societal divisions.

As we sip on sweet milkshakes from local shop Scoopers and reflect on this case, it's impossible not to wonder about the deeper forces in Ford's life. Was she a cold-blooded killer, or a woman overwhelmed by her inner demons? The investigation revealed a complex web of mental illness, a troubled past, and a history of failed relationships that may have pushed her to the brink. Yet, the cold reality remains—six innocent lives were lost in a senseless act of violence. In the aftermath, the city of Reno was left to grapple with the horror of Thanksgiving Day in 1980, a day that forever changed the lives of so many.

On March 16, 1997, Star was found murdered, her body discovered behind a Coral Springs Eckerd pharmacy. The murder shocked the community and her family.
Star Stowe's murder wasn't an isolated incident; it occurred during a period marked by a series of brutal killings in Florida. The late 1990s saw a wave of violence that claimed the lives of numerous women, many of whom, like Star, were involved in the sex work industry. Authorities were initially baffled, struggling to connect the dots between these heinous crimes. This dark chapter in Florida's history highlights the vulnerabilities and dangers faced by women on the margins of society. As we unravel the story of Star Stowe and the broader context of the Florida serial murders, we aim to shed light on the lives lost and the ongoing quest for justice. Join us as we explore the chilling details of these cases and honor the memory of those who fell victim to these senseless acts of violence.

Stay spooky, squad. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/60893047Fri, 02 Aug 2024 04:08:12 +0000Sahara Harrington and Candace DurandWelcome back ya'll to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour.  Today we're delving into the tragic story of Star Stowe, a former Playboy Playmate, and ex-partner of Gene Simmons, who met a heartbreaking end. Born Ellen Louise...She then moved to Florida, where she struggled with addiction and financial instability. On March 16, 1997, Star was found murdered, her body discovered behind a Coral Springs Eckerd pharmacy. The murder shocked the community and her family.
Star Stowe's murder wasn't an isolated incident; it occurred during a period marked by a series of brutal killings in Florida. The late 1990s saw a wave of violence that claimed the lives of numerous women, many of whom, like Star, were involved in the sex work industry. Authorities were initially baffled, struggling to connect the dots between these heinous crimes. This dark chapter in Florida's history highlights the vulnerabilities and dangers faced by women on the margins of society. As we unravel the story of Star Stowe and the broader context of the Florida serial murders, we aim to shed light on the lives lost and the ongoing quest for justice. Join us as we explore the chilling details of these cases and honor the memory of those who fell victim to these senseless acts of violence.

No local shop today! Candace is back from Europe with tales of her exploits and some delicious Irish fudge treats! 

See you in the next one, and remember to stay spooky!

Known for her raw, powerful voice and magnetic stage presence, Mia was a rising star whose life was brutally cut short. On the night of July 7, 1993, after spending the evening with friends, Mia was found deceased - a senseless act of violence that left her community in shock and mourning.
For over a decade, her murder remained unsolved, a cold case that haunted the Seattle and Mia's loved ones. The breakthrough came in 2003, thanks to advances in DNA technology. 
In this episode, we'll explore the details of that fateful night, the tireless efforts to solve the case, and the legacy Mia Zapata left behind. So, hang with us as we sip on coffee from coffee company Kona Coffee, and join us as we unravel the mystery and tragedy of a life taken too soon.


Lyrics from "Sign of the Crab" sample, written by Mia Zapata and performed by The Gits
"Never ceases to amaze me the things you try to pull
Anything to get me in and then get me killed
Go ahead and slice me up, spread me all across this town
Cause you know you're the one that won't be found"

Grab your coffee, settle in, and prepare for a story that will send shivers down your spine. 
Robert Hansen seemed like an ordinary man, a local baker who was well-liked in his community. But behind this façade lay a sinister predator. From the early 1970s to the early 1980s, Hansen hunted women in the Alaskan wilderness, abducting them, flying them into the wild with his private plane, and then releasing them only to hunt them down like animals. He is believed to have raped and murdered at least 17 women, with authorities suspecting the number could be higher. Hansen’s capture in 1983 was a pivotal moment in Anchorage’s history.
Today's coffee is brought to you by local favorite, Cafe con Papi!  Hang with us as Candace explains how Hansen was caught, including how many terrifying times he was released.
Make sure to join us next time as we explore more terrifying tales from the annals of true crime. Remember, the world is often darker than it seems, but there's always room for a bit of sweetness. Stay safe, stay curious, and stay spooky, ya'll!

Tamla, a vibrant and beloved mother of five, attended an adult slumber party in Forsyth County, Georgia, in November 2018, only to be found dead in the backyard the following morning. Official reports concluded her death was accidental, however, discrepancies in witness statements, combined with a lack of thorough investigation, have fueled widespread speculation and distrust. This case raises troubling questions about evidence handling and the swift rush to closure, leaving Tamla's family and friends begging for answers. Join us as we peel back the layers of this case and sip on milk tea from our friends at Golden Tea Cafe in Sparks, NV.

Today, we delve into a deeply tragic and complex story that unfolded in 2021 — the exorcism and subsequent death of Arely Naomi Proctor. Arely, whose life was cut short in an extreme religious ritual, is remembered for her vibrant spirit and the joy she brought to those who knew her.
This heartrending event, mired in controversy and deep-rooted beliefs, challenges our understanding of faith and how religion is a powerful tool, sometimes for the worst. We want to ensure that we emphasize the utmost sensitivity and respect for Arely's memory and the profound impact of her loss on her community and beyond. Join us as we seek to unravel the layers of this story, looking for lessons and understanding in a situation that broke our hearts and left us with many questions. Today's coffee was brought to you by Mugshots Coffee enter airhorn noises. So hold on to your hats, folks, and stay spooky!



Trigger Warning: This episode discusses themes related to the tragic death of a child and religious rituals that may be distressing to some listeners.

Marcus Wesson, a name synonymous with profound horror, was an unusual and sinister-looking man living in Fresno, CA - Jake's hometown.
In March 2004, the quiet streets of Fresno were shattered by a gruesome discovery. Wesson, the patriarch of a large and reclusive family, emerged from his home covered in blood, leading to the uncovering of a nightmarish scene inside. Authorities found nine of his family members, all children and grandchildren, tragically deceased. Investigations revealed a twisted web of psychological control, incest, and indoctrination, painting a disturbing picture of manipulation and abuse. The Marcus Wesson case is not only a shocking tale of familial terror, but a stark reminder of the hidden horrors that can lurk behind closed doors.
Join us as we sip on coffee from No City Coffee, located inside the Great Basin Co-op, and explore the complexities of the tragic case that has long haunted the Fresno community.

In the quiet town of Kipling, Saskatchewan lurked a dark secret. In 1992, a young patient accused Dr. Schneeberger of drugging and assaulting her in his office. The case took a twisted turn when DNA evidence seemed to exonerate him, leaving the community baffled and the victim searching for justice. The truth was even more sinister.
Hang out with us as Sahara explains the twists and turns of Schneeberger's case. Come back next week as we explore another gripping tale from the library of true crime.
Until then, stay spooky, babies!
