Death X Southwest: True Crime

Today’s episode is a little treat for everyyyone (okay, NOT for those who hate the life rambles)—usually, these rambling morning walk-and-talk episodes are reserved for my Patreon crew, but I figured, why not share the chaos with everyone? Recorded during yesterday and this morning’s dog walks (because one day of rambling just isn’t enough), I cover everything from my latest TikTok ideas, to the D...

We will be at Culinary Dropout at 6ish tonight to grab a cocktail or two -- would love to meet you if you're free and want to come have a drink!! xoxo 😘 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

AGAIN, AMAZINGLY this Part Two begins with very little chit-chat and rambling (okay like 5 minutes of rambling but NOT much!)— and then we dive right into Part Two of the chilling and tragic story of Mark Kilroy. Mark was a bright, young college student heading off to spring break in 1989, ready for sunshine, adventure, and making some unforgettable memories with his childhood friends! What he fou...

It’s bonus episode time, and this week I’m joined by the one and only Mark for a pre-Thanksgiving feast of randomness and ridiculousness. Before we dive into our epic games of Stuffing or Bluffing (yes, that’s a real thing) and Guess the Thanksgiving Dish, we’ve got plenty of juicy side dishes (aka: conversation detours) to serve up. We’re talking my latest hair disaster, Mark’s deeply relevant re...

AMAZINGLY this episode begins with NO chit-chat, NO rambling—we dive right in with an old-school DXSW Sense of Place, setting the scene of South Padre Island and Matamoros, Mexico, to transport you right into the heart of this haunting tale!  From there, it’s straight into Part One (yes, it’s a two-parter, but I promise—it’s worth it!) of the chilling and tragic story of Mark Kilroy. Mark was a br...

Welcome to a Tuesday Bonus Episode!! Today, I spend the first 18 minutes chatting about this morning's uplifting recording session with Jim—it was just what I needed after the funk I was in last night. Funny how a good conversation can flip your mood, right? I sprinkle in a few other thoughts that have been swirling around my head, so stay tuned for some candid musings. But then, we're diving into...

In this episode, we kick things off with a 15-minute catch-up where I dive into a disgruntled email from a former fan that I couldn’t resist sharing. Afterward, I spill my thoughts on the ongoing Menendez Brothers hoopla, along with a few other random odds and ends.  Then, we turn to the chilling case of Todd Kohlhepp—a man whose double life as a successful real estate agent and cold-blooded kille...

Alright, friends. Today’s episode was supposed to be a quick 10-minute “I’m alive, don’t worry” update. But, of course, here we are an hour later, wandering through the twisted maze that is my brain (on a little too much cough syrup😬). Turns out, I accidentally went on a journey of deep pondering (or was it rambling?) about relationships, friendships, and family, while feeling… let’s just say, no...

Welcome to a bonus episode where true crime is left on read, and it's just you, me, and a whole lot of wonderfully irrelevant details. I’m talking weekend adventures, my BFF’s enviable escape to Belize (I'll just be here…trying not to be jealous), our iconic family room sleepover, and, FINALLY, I dive into some listener DMs. Expect everything from the most random musings to overshares that absolut...

Get ready for a jam-packed episode as I’m joined by my best friend of 22 years, Jackie, who’s here to co-host and catch up with me on everything from the hilariously mundane to the strangely profound. For the first 30 minutes, since this is Jackie’s first time on a podcast (yay!) we get all warmed up by chatting about our friendship, sharing some memories, and diving into all the quirky odds and e...

In this spine-chilling Halloween episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most puzzling cases that haunts Minnesota to this day. Christopher Jenkins was a 21-year-old college student who vanished after leaving a bar in downtown Minneapolis on Halloween night, 2002. Dressed in his Native American costume and fueled by the festive spirit, he stepped out into the cold night...and was never seen ali...

Hi friends—on today’s episode, I do about a 17-minute catch-up where I share all the good, the bad, and the spooky from my weekend, plus some Halloween updates and random bits I couldn’t resist throwing in. Then, we dive headfirst into a chilling true crime story that’s perfect for the season: the Halloween disappearance of Cindy Song. Episode Description: Imagine going out for a night of Hallowee...

I kick off this episode as per usual with about 10 minutes of blabbering on about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness (not really🤣 - I actually just talk about my morning). After we catch up, we're diving headfirst into the mysterious origins of Halloween. Ever wondered how an ancient festival celebrating the dead turned into a night of costumes and candy? We'll peel back the layers of histo...

In this episode, I kick things off with a rundown of my weekend adventures. From nearly losing my voice at Terror in the Corn 👻🌽(apparently, I'm not as brave as I thought) to an unexpected shopping trip to a sad and unexpectedly tragic end to the weekend😕. Then we shift gears to the main event: the perplexing murder of Martha Moxley. A 15-year-old girl from an affluent Connecticut neighborhood,...

Tonight's episode kicks off with a cosmic touch, thanks to a quick heads-up from our very own Human GPS. I'll be sharing a little snippet about the comet lighting up the sky tonight—just a short detour before we dive into this week's story. Now, I know Michigan isn't exactly the Southwest, but Halloween is closing in, and I couldn't resist bringing you a truly bone-chilling case from the Midwest t...

It’s time for another classic Margot ramble-fest! 🎃 First up, I share about the weekend I spent with my BFF and her adorable son. We did all the fall things—pumpkin patches, halloween decor, and let’s just say the child has more stamina than I’ve ever had in my life. Also, I dragged Mark along for some pumpkin picking which HE LOVED. Then, because I’m me, I dive into my list of spooky movie picks...

In 1991, Austin—a city growing fast but still holding onto its small-town charm—was rocked by a crime so brutal it’s haunted the community for decades. Four teenage girls, a cozy yogurt shop, and a night that ended in unimaginable tragedy. In this final part of the Austin Yogurt Shop Murders series, I’ll dig into what really happened behind those doors and who could be responsible for such an unsp...

In this bonus episode of Death X Southwest, I somehow end up accidentally deep-diving into Shocktoberfest in Pennsylvania—because who doesn’t mix up spooky theme parks with actual crime research? After that embarrassing detour, I redeem myself with a creepy mini true crime tale about Brian Massey and the chilling 1984 murder of his family. And just when you think it's all about murder, I veer off...

In this episode, I'm all over the place—just the way you like it😂. For the first 40 minutes, I catch you up on life lately: a weekend that revolved entirely around Henry (who we are trying to make sure is living his best life), my first doctor's visit in a decade (why do I always put these things off?), an amazing email from a listener named Josephine (it made my week!), and plenty of the usual,...

The nearly 20-year mystery of the Circleville letters is a gripping true-crime case that cast a shadow over the small town of Circleville, Ohio. Beginning in the late 1970s, an unknown author started sending menacing letters to local residents, exposing supposed secrets and sparking widespread panic. The case, marked by accusations, arrests, and even a suspicious death, kept the community in a sta...

I think the title says it all? 🤣 No mini-crime, no fascinating stories, just me using my microphone as a personal Dear Diary moment - apologies in advance. Love you all!!
