True Crime Obsessed

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES! When Misty makes a new friend, Jenny, at work, she’s roped into a web of…strangeness when Jenny’s “guardian” (yeah, we have questions too) Irina. Irina suggests the three of them form a Coven BECAUSE WHY NOT and immediately tries to get Jenny and Misty to kill--YES KILL--her rival evil witch, Lindsay. This is all real, Fam. After a few botched attempts AT MURDER, I...

WE ARE TOTAL NERDS FOR LOCAL NEWSPAPERS! Come nerd out with us about this TRULY UNBELIVABLE STORY. In the small town of Idabel, Oklahoma, a family-run newspaper begins investigating allegations of corruption, drug use, sexual misconduct, and violence, AND ONE TRULY HORRENDOUSLY KEPT EVIDENCE ROOM within the local sheriff’s department. But as the Willingham family digs deeper, they find themselves...

OMG PATRICK'S FAVORITE PODCAST IS NOW A HULU SHOW! OK, deep breaths! Meet Tina, just, you know, ANOTHER BAD ASS WOMAN ABOUT TO HAVE HER LIFE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN BY SOME AWFUL GUY!  And so enter, Neil, some e-commerce tech brow douche, who swoops in thinking he's all charming. As GP says, Tina was just here for the martinis and casual sex. Which was great, because Neil CONVINCES her that he's infert...

Shit got real REAL fast when the FBI came knock knock knocking on Matty's door. They let him know: Anyone gets hurt or dies at this thing, it's your ass, kid. Does Matty take this opportunity to, you know, shut the thing down to STAY OUT OF PRISON? NOPE! Instead, he tries to move this thing away from the ONE BATHROOM TOWN of Rachel, Nevada to downtown Las Vegas. BUT THE INTERNET DOESN'T CARE WHAT...

Meet Matty, the self-described "twenty-year-old loser working at the vape kiosk in the mall." In 2019, bored and sort of as a joke, he made a post on his Facebook page - "shitposting" - encouraging his 41 followers that they should all storm Area 51 in three months. He created an event and went to bed. Little did he know the hell and chaos he was about to unleash as THREE MILLION PEOPLE signed up...

In 2013, Gary Herpst left his wife and son and went missing.  But... they didn't seem to mind all that much and only RELUCTANTLY filed a missing person report for him.  Turns out this guy was a reeeeeeeeal piece of work - to quote The Chicks, "a missing person who nobody missed at all."  So it wasn't until 2020, when a piece of his skull was dug up by a dog, that anyone, including his neighbors, l...

Fam, we are here for the sisterhood and solidarity today!  Both Kristen and Sabrina were victims of Geoffrey's controlling and abusive behavior, but thankfully they both come through to the horrors to the other side and form a bond with EACH OTHER!  But then... HOW does he get himself a spot on national television?  We have some questions for those TV execs.... Find and watch "Worst Ex Ever: Prime...

In April 2012, 61-year-old Mark Staudte died on the floor of his home. When the authorities arrived, his wife, Diane, seemed.. .unphased. And the kids were playing video games in the living room. It was... odd. Even odder was when the Staudte son, Sean, ALSO DIED FIVE MONTHS LATER. Shortly thereafter, SEAN'S SISTER SARA WAS ALSO IN THE HOSPITAL DYING OF ORGAN FAILURE. Again, Diane had no questions...

OK, Fam, do that thing where you stretch your fingers and crack you knuckles BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO WANT TO PUNCH SOMONE. In 2021, Bridget matched with Ricky on Facebook Dating... which was apparently a thing. Ricky was ex-military and had the severe PTSD AND ADORABLE MILITARY DOG, ZEUS, to prove it. He'd been through hell, including watching his best friend, Clarence, literally take bullets and...

Debbie Kelly led a fabulous life in San Antonio, TX - a successful career, a giddy group of tennis-playing girlfriends, and a new house.  But after she fell for her contractor (who was shadily slow-rolling the construction in order to spend time with her RED FLAG!!!!), things went horrifically wrong.  One dark night in their home led to a terrible mistake - or was it?  Grab an ice-cold Dr. Pepper...

In the spring of 1992, a madman terrorized the Midwest, killing at least six people and using Interstate 70 as both his killing field and escape route. In one of the most FRUSTRATING cases we've ever covered, there were witnesses, composite sketches, and even surveillance video, but somehow the killer has never been caught. But there were bright spots in the investigation, too - LIKE THE SURVIVOR...

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED, FAM! What happens when you open your home FOR FREE to a person in need? Well, sometimes they turn out to be a racist and violent garbage person WHO SCREAMS AT YOUR GRANDKID. And then sometimes they move across the street where they set their sights on making your life a living hell. AND SOIMETIMES THIS ALL ENDS IN MURDER. Ugh. I need a drink. Do your stretches before...

OK, look, we love the bayou. Like, we LOVE IT. The accents, the trees, THE FREAKING GOTHIC VIBES. But what we don't love is the murder. Especially this one. On August 23, 1987, a young mother named Selonia Reed was found murdered in her car about a mile from her home. The clues were few, but there was one that was significant. A cigarette butt. In the pre-DNA 1980s, there wasn't much they could do...

Fam, let us ask you a question: Would you ever, say, give up your home, your job, your friends and family to move to move to Minnesota and live in a house where you sleep on the floor in sleeping bags and work FOR FREE for 18 hours a day? Yes? Yes you would? THEN DO WE HAVE THE CULT FOR YOU!!! Ugh, here we go again: sleep deprivation, free labor, AND AN INSUFFERABLE LEADER WHOSE BODY IS CONSTANTLY...

On January 2014, 46-year-old Jerry Moore was stabbed to death in his home in Marietta, Georgia. When no suspect emerges, Jerry's best friend Randy - WHO HE MET AT A GAY LINE DANCING BAR - presents the cops with a critical piece of information that eventually solves the case. It involves a loser shitbag roommate, a gay bakery, and a CAKE DECORATING ROOM. Jerry's murder was senseless and brutal, but...

In June 2016, Michelle Hadley was served a restraining order. She was barred from ever again speaking to her ex-boyfriend Ian and his new girlfriend Angela. According to the restraining order, Michelle had been stalking Angela and Ian for months - she'd been making horrible threats against the couple and their soon-to-be-born twins. Michelle was crazy insane. Or was she? Even after watching the do...

I mean, just keep staying stupid, all you felonious felons and crime-y criminals.  Today's we're tracking a woman known as the "Diamond Diva" across several states in the South as she casually walks in and robs jewelry stores... which absolutely no attempt to disguise herself at all!  Yeesh!  This is another great series from executive producer Octavia Spencer - can she just be in charge of making...

Fam, Andrea Canning is having none of it. In this "Dateline" episode, she explores the murder of Jennifer Ramsaran, and sits down with the absolute garbage-est HERB who ever HERBED. And the title of the episode? "The Perfect Life"? Just WAIT till you get a load of what that means for this piece of work.... Find and watch "The Perfect Life" on Peacock TV LOOKING FOR MORE TCO? On our Patreon feed ,...

Jean Steven was very close to her sister and her husband.  Perhaps a bit... too close.  We've got a bit of an odd story today, Fam - straight out of a Hitchcock movie.  Why did Jean keep the embalmed bodies of her husband and sister IN HER HOME, and how did she get the seemingly all-too-willing characters around town to help her?  Thankfully, the ever-trusty Beth Karas is here to help us sort thro...

In July 2003, 34-year-old Shawn Johnson was in New Orleans for a conference. And he did WHAT ANY OF US WOULD DO and tacked on a few days for a little bit of fun. On his last night in town, he found himself at an infamous bar called The Dungeon where he met a group of people who he invited back to his hotel room to fill the hot tub with Champagne and continue the party. Again, like any of us would...

Fam, when they say "Worst Ex Ever" they really aren't kidding here - and giving him the "Deadpool" moniker just because he's got the same name as the comic book character? Yeesh.  This creep runs the gamut from theft to selling dogs online to rape and murder - but talks his way out of things thanks to gullible investigators, at least for a time until someone close to him turns the tables.  Lots of...

Fam!  We're back in the world of sports today: dressage!  Also known as "fancy horse dancing" to us city hicks who'd probably fall off a horse at the first canter (that's a horse-dancing term, right?).  ANYWAY, we've got OLYMPIC-level drama with this episode, with former USA team member Michael Barisone now taking on his new student Lauren Kanarek.  Heads butt, tempers flare, and eventually... sho...

 When 68 year old Mario Hernandez didn't show up for family dinner in March of 2005, his family knew something was terribly wrong. Mario was a family man. Nothing would have kept him from that dinner. And when the police refuse to investigate--he's a grown man, after all, he can go missing if he wants EYE ROLL RAGE EMOJI--the family takes the investigation into their own hands. What unfolds is a b...

OK, Fam - it's the one you've been waiting for! On October 9, 2020, 27-year-old Taylor Parker was pulled over on a Texas highway. When the cops approached the car, they found a nearly hysterical Parker holding a baby she claimed to have JUST given birth to. It would quickly be revealed that that was a lie. Please, please, PLEASE pull over as you listen to us unravel this shocking and terrifying st...

Take a deep breath for this one, Fam! On December 6, 1991, four teenaged girls were found sexually assaulted and murdered in an I Can't Believe It's Yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. The yogurt shop was then set on fire. It would take decades, and a series of unforgivable wrongful convictions, for the authorities to catch the real killer. This one's a lot, but don't worry, WE'LL DO ALL THE SCREAMING F...
