Between 2001 and 2005, eleven women—and one unborn child—vanished from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Their remains were discovered in 2009, buried across a remote stretch of desert now known as the West Mesa mass grave.

This Tales of the Twisted episode delivers a cinematic, investigative deep-dive into the timeline, suspects, satellite imagery discoveries, trafficking theories, and the work of Detective Ida Lopez, whose missing-women list predicted the victims years before the graves were found.

We explore the chilling possibility of a serial killer, a multi-state trafficking ring, and the still-missing women who may remain buried beneath the shifting sands of the mesa.

If you follow cases like the Gilgo Beach murders, Jeffrey Dahmer, or the Cleveland Strangler, this episode exposes a case just as disturbing—and still unsolved.

He was calm.
He was walking.
He believed he was heading toward the lights of town.

But he was miles from where he thought he was — and miles from the parents frantically searching for him.

What happened after that final moment remains one of the most baffling unsolved disappearances in American true crime.

In this extended episode of Tales of the Twisted, we explore Brandon’s last known steps, the massive search that followed, the landscape capable of swallowing a person whole, and the heartbreaking legacy his disappearance left behind — including Brandon’s Law, which forever changed how missing adults are investigated.

If you’re drawn to stories of eerie vanishings, real-world mysteries, and cases where the answers remain just out of reach, this is an episode you won’t forget.

Operating under the control of self-proclaimed leader Robin Gecht, the crew carried out attacks marked by ritual, ideology, and horrifying precision. In a city still haunted by the shadow of John Wayne Gacy, these crimes defied every expectation of what investigators thought they were dealing with.

Tales of the Twisted uncovers the full story: the attic “ritual room,” the red van that stalked the streets, the survivors whose bravery broke the case open, and the shocking trials that led to the downfall of the Ripper Crew. This episode explores how a seemingly ordinary group of men formed one of the most sadistic murder teams in modern true-crime history — and what questions still remain unsolved today.

You’ll discover how Dyer exploited the desperate circumstances of unwed mothers, how she used opium-based cordials and white dressmaking tape to silence victims, and how the Thames discovery in 1896 finally exposed her operation. We also explore the 1901–1902 garden bone discovery, the Victorian adoption crisis, and the reforms her crimes forced into law.

This episode delivers a slow-burn, cinematic dive into:
• The rise of baby farming in 19th-century Britain
• The deadly methods Amelia Dyer used to kill infants in her care
• How poverty, stigma, and lack of oversight created a breeding ground for tragedy
• The investigation that ended her decades-long reign
• Her lightning-fast trial and execution at Newgate Prison
• The long-term impact on UK child protection laws
