The story we have for you today is creepy at it’s finest. The dark tale of the Denver Spider Man is quite different than that of the crime-stopping, live-saving Marvel super hero we all know and love. Instead, this 'Spider Man' secretly hid inside his victim’s house before and after committing a murder. No fucking thank you. Let’s go to Colorado. Music: Frosty Forest by Shane Ivers - htt...

This week we are telling you the story of a verified nitwit who murdered two police officers and his ex wife in 1936, while on the run from authorities in multiple states. This is the story of Douglas Van Vlack. Music: Frosty Forest by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com Support the show

Known as the gateway to the Owyhee Mountains, Marsing, Idaho is a small agricultural community tucked between the snake river and a butte resembling a sunbathing lizard. It was a quiet community, where everyone knew everyone's business, or so the residents thought. Until February 2011, when Federal Agents descended and one of their own turned out to be the total opposite of the overall bib we...

The story we have for you this week is a Thanksgiving tale of terror. One absolute psychopath + one upside down turkey led to a nightmare for a woman and her kids.

The story we have for you this week is about an Idaho serial killer who has been on and off death row for nearly 5 decades.

Today we are telling you the story of Thomas Eugene Creech. Music: Frosty Forest by Shane Ivers - https://www.silverma...

This week we are telling you the tragic story of 3 teens in Northern Idaho. Law Enforcement's explanation of their deaths will leave you with more questions than answers and will land you in a rabbit hole so deep and twisted you won't be able to forget their stories.

Hi guys! We are taking this week off from recording so we thought we'd release one of our Patreon bonus episodes. We're taking you to central Idaho where 5 young people were stolen from their families and were violently murdered or never seen again. Despite having a prime suspect, no one has ever been held accountable. This is the insane story of the Snake River killer.  Support the show

The story we have for you this week is about a fight between faith and law. The story of one mans image of the Garden of Eden and another's fight for equal justice under the law for all citizens in his community.  This story isn't straightforward, or easy to understand or heartwarming. Its messy and heartbreaking and frustrating. This is the story of the Followers of Christ, a community...

His residence for almost all of his adult life has been the Idaho State Penitentiary and he currently boasts the hon...

The story we have for you this week is about digging holes. One bad choice turns into another and another, and by the time you're done lying you’ve dug yourself right into a prison cell in hades. This is the story of liar liar pants on fire Lori Isenberg and the unfortunate people in her life who made the mistake of trusting her.  Music: Frosty Forest by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansou...

The story we have for you today is all about scheming.

The story we have for you this week is one you've probably heard before.  Keith Morrison did a whole 8 part podcast about this case and can we do anything comparable to Keith? The answer is no. But we are decidedly snarkier than Keith so we can bring the snark.  This is part 1 of the story of Lori Vallow Daybell, the nastiest piece of work to call herself a mother since Robin Lee Row and her...
