In The Nick Of Crime

Happy Thursday, creeps and freaks - We have Scoops and Lore 16 here for you today! This one is real weird (as they all are anymore, let's be honest). Courtney tells us about Baba Yaga and her chicken-legged spinning house of purgatory, and Michelle talks about Banshees in Celtic and Scottish lore and her omen of death. Thank you as always for listening! All things In the Nick of Crime live her...

Happy Tuesday, creeps and freaks! This week, Michelle takes us through the case of Vashti Seacat. In the early morning hours of April 30, 2011, Vasthi Seacat was trapped in her home as it was engulfed in flames. The question that plagued investigators was whether her death was a result of the fire, suicide, or homicide. There were a lot of twists and turns that eventually lead them to the right an...

Happy Tuesday, creeps and freaks! This week, Courtney is telling us about Mary Mallon - also known as Typhoid Mary. She was a New York based cook that was responsible for inadvertently infecting dozens of people with Typhoid in the early 1900s. And she may or may not have been a major catalyst for "Typhoid fever".  Thank you as always for listening! All things In the Nick of Crime live here:...

Happy Tuesday, creeps and freaks! We are so sorry for the delayed episode. This week, Michelle is bringing a particularly rough case. Between late summer of 1990, and the end of May of 1992, 1 man paved a path of destruction for 2 different young women. 1 was able to make it out alive, but the other unfortunately did not. Please listen with caution as we cover the stories of Rose Ryan and Kristin...

Happy Thursday, creeps and freaks! Scoops and Lore is back and just as ridiculous as ever! In this episode, Courtney takes us through the history and lore of Japan's Rokurokubi and how they intertwine with modern anime. And Michelle talks about the disturbing history and folklore of the Sandman. It's a lot darker than you think, kids.  Thank you as always for listening! All things In the Nick...

Hello, our little creeps and freaks. This week, Courtney is telling probably our most difficult story to date. In 2012, Amanda Todd was a 15 year old girl from Canada. She had the world at her fingertips and had dreams of becoming a famous singer. She unfortunately fell into the dark world of cyber bullying and was exploited over and over again by an online predator and subsequently became the tar...

Happy Tuesday, creeps and freaks! We're baaaaccckkkk!! Thank you all so much for your understanding while we took a much needed break from recording. It was a tough decision to make, but knowing that we have such an incredible and supportive audience made us feel so much better. But we are so happy to be back and delivering content again! In episode 30, Michelle brings us the absolutely heartbreak...

Happy Tuesday creeps and freaks! This week, Courtney is taking us through the life and death of Christopher Wallace - also known as Notorious B.I.G., Biggie Smalls or just Biggie. He was a rapper that was truly ahead of his time and paved the way for those who followed him. His life was cut tragically short in March of 1997, and his murder unfortunately remains unsolved to this day. The conspiraci...

Happy Tuesday, creeps and freaks! We hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season (whatever you celebrate!). Several months ago, we talked with our good friends, Paige and Sam with M3: Murder, Mystery and Mayhem about doing a collaboration together. Early on in each of our podcasting journeys, we realized we were all kindred spirits, and that this needed to happen. We eventually landed on a ho...

Happy Thursday, creeps and freaks! Today, we have our 12th installment of Scoops and Lore for you. In this episode, Courtney talks about creepy little Robert the Doll, and how he may or may not curse your existence. And Michelle tells the tale of Grýla, the Christmas witch, and her merry band of Yule Lads. The story is downright weird, and is just enough to give you some weird feels right before t...

Happy Tuesday, creeps and freaks! This week, we have a really messed up treat for you! Michelle brings us the royally effed up history of MKUltra. MKUltra was a top-secret project headed by the CIA throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The true happenings of the experiments conducted only came to light in the early 1970s. Things that you would think could only be possible in tales of fiction....There is...

Happy Thursday, creeps and freaks! We sincerely apologize for our lack of an episode as planned last week - life has truly just been so busy and overwhelming. But we wanted to get the episode out this week, even though we're on our standard episode off-week for the month. All that said, we can hardly believe we've made it to our eleventh installment of Scoops and Lore! This week, we've just got al...

Happy Tuesday, creeps and freaks! Thank you all for your understanding as Courtney and I took last week off. Please note that this marks the start of bi-weekly episodes through December.  In this week's episode, Courtney tells us about the murder of 29-year-old Kristen Wilson. This tragedy occurred in 1996, and unfortunately, Kristen's family is no closer to finding any answers.  We also...

Happy Thursday, creeps and freaks! We have a particularly goofy and ridiculous installment of Scoops and Lore for you today! Courtney introduces us to "hagging" while Michelle takes us through the creepy and sordid past of Tasmania's Port Aurthur. Thank you as always for listening!

Happy Tuesday, creeps and freaks! Thank you for your understanding while we took last week off. But this week, we are back in action! Michelle brings us the mystery of the Sodder family children. On Christmas Eve of 1945, the Sodder family home burned to the ground, and only four of the nine children in the home made it out alive. Or did they? We would love to know your thoughts and theories on th...

Happy Tuesday, creeps and freaks! We took a much needed break from recording last week, so we don't have a new episode to drop. We didn't want to leave you all hanging, however, so we are giving you an episode that was previously released to our Patreon only. In this episode, Courtney brings you the unsolved case of the disappearance of Maura Murray. Please check out the page dedicated to finding...

Hey creeps and freaks. We have a pretty tough episode all around this week. Courtney discusses the senseless murders of Sister Tadea Benz and Narne Box Bryson, as well as the subsequent execution of Johnny Frank Garrett. We have many opinions on what happened (which is very evident in the episode), and we hope you will weigh in on yours. Please be advised that this case discusses rape and violence...

Happy Thursday, creeps and freaks! We apologize for this episode going out a bit late. We had some technical difficulties - there is one portion of the episode that we had to re-record, so the audio is off. But it's only for a short bit of time. But this week, we're bringing you a spooky smorgasbord if you will. Courtney takes us through the tale of the "Cora tree" of North Carolina and Michelle t...

This week, Michelle is bringing you the harrowing case of the 2004 Napa Halloween Murders. On October 31, 2004, 3 roommates, Lauren, Adriane and Leslie were sleeping peacefully in their home when an intruder would change everything and take the lives of Adriane and Leslie. Lauren survived to tell this tale and we are so privileged to be able to tell it from her perspective.  Thank you as alwa...

In the second week of our Halloween horror series, Courtney covers the case of the 2010 Liske/Griffin family murders. On Halloween of 2010, BJ Liske did the unthinkable, creating a scene that would be described as a real-life horror story.  Thank you as always for listening!  All of the things In the Nick of Crime live here: linktr.ee/nickofcrimepod  Follow us on Instagram: @NickofC...

Happy Thursday, creeps and freaks! We have our 8th installment of Scoops and Lore for you.

Have you ever felt the need to check your children's Halloween candy before they eat any of it? Chances are, it's because of this absolute piece of human garbage. This week, Michelle takes us through the horrendous story of Ronald Clark O'Bryan, who became know as "The Candy Man" and also, the man who ruined Halloween. Evil doesn't even begin to cover this one. Please be advised that this story do...

In this week's episode, Courtney discusses the 2014 attack of Payton Leutner, also known as the Slender Man attack. Spoiler alert - this one is a survivor story! And Payton's story is truly remarkable. Please note that this episode discusses mental illness and violence against children. We also wanted to add that this week's episode doesn't contain a current true crime event (weekly f***ery). We h...
