10 Minute Murder | Bingeable True Crime Stories

This is part 2 and starts with Dennis Rader's murder of the Otero family, and continues through his sentencing. The reason this episode is much longer than normal, is because I added parts of the audio from Denis Rader's court confession. It's such a cold and heartless recounting, in his own words, that tells you what kind of person he is better than I can describe.  Subscribe and share 10 Minute...

When something terrible happens, something that is so evil, it transcends the limits of human understanding, we begin to look for an explanation. For example, when a mass murderer takes 50 innocent lives in a ruthless killing spree, we look at that person and think, what caused them to commit such a gruesome act. Was there a mental illness behind everything, or perhaps in their past happened somet...

Corpus delicti is a Latin term from the Western legal theory that literally means "body of the crime." This principle requires proof that a crime took place before an individual can be charged with that crime. Thus, what comes to homicide, the corpse is often the most crucial piece of evidence that helps to make the conviction possible. So what happens if there is no body? In England, the view of...

Have you ever heard about the girl who was one night hearing ominous dripping coming from within her home?

Eventually, the girl had to investigate the noise, only to find her dog slaughtered in the bathroom and a message written in blood – "Humans can lick hands too." You probably ha...

According to The Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology, only around 16% of all serial killers are female. In fact, they are so rare that even the man credited with coining the term "serial killer," FBI profiler Robert K. Ressler, did not discuss female killers at all in his research. As he said in his 1992 book Whoever Fights Monsters, there has been only one female that "has been arrested a...

The metal community was shocked to its core on December 8, 2004. That day was difficult enough for many of those in the music community as it marked the 24th anniversary of John Lennon's death.

How one of the most beloved and r...

The figure lying...

In the late 1970s, the residents of New York City were terrified. Six people had been murdered and at least seven injured along the way in seemingly random attacks between the summers of 1976 and 1977. Despite being at the center of the largest manhunts in New York history, the killer was presumptuous enough to send taunting and bizarre letters to the police and press, which he signed with the nic...

When 28-year-old bar manager Kitty Genovese was stabbed to death in New York in 1964, she was just one of the 636 murder victims in the city that year.

Today, we’re talking about a killer that was clearly not okay mentally. He doesn’t have electricity at every floor. Maybe because of that, he killed his pregnant girlfriend and led police on a high speed chase while dangling the baby he removed (cut) from her, out of his car window. In his own words, you’ll hear why he did it, and why he said, “she understood she had to die”.    Subscribe and shar...
