Murder, My Dude

Murder, My Dude is back for the second week in a row with a famous case from the early part of this century: the highly publicized murder of Bonny Lee Bakley. Bakley had been married to her 10th husband, TV star Robert Blake. Blake wound up being thrust into the center of the case, which dominated headlines for years after and is still hotly debated to this day. This week, we cover it all! BUT FIR...

Murder, My Dude is back, and we’re going back to the VERY beginning of the show. Episode 1 saw Jackson and B.P. review the 2018 version of Halloween during its theatrical run, and this week, they take a look at the final film in the Blumhouse-Haddonfield trilogy: Halloween Ends! If you want to skip right to it, the review starts around 42 minutes in. BEWARE SPOILERS - it's loaded with them if you...

On the latest Murder, My Dude, we go back in time to explore the case that helped create the True Crime genre itself. The 1959 killing of the Clutter Family rattled the Kansas community where it happened, but years later, it was the work of famous author Truman Capote that made the story a national phenomenon. What would motivate someone to slaughter a beloved family that was seemingly free of ene...

Join us this week as Murder, My Dude goes Hollywood! Well, goes off-Broadway at the very least. Adrienne Shelly was on the precipice of the biggest success of her career behind the camera when it was all taken away from her by an unlikely assailant. If her husband hadn’t tirelessly pursued the truth, her killer would have likely never faced justice. This week, we cover their story. BUT FIRST! This...

Keep ahead of the true crime curve and get the latest scoop before the newest Netflix True Crime miniseries by listening to Jackson and B.P. covering the ongoing saga involving Lori Vallow and her husband Chad Daybell as they await trial for the deaths of Lori’s daughter and stepson, Tylee Ryan and J.J. Vallow. But before we delve into the Sins of Our Mother, we’ll take a look at a tragic triple m...

On a 1978 Episode of the hit show The Dating Game, Bachelor #1 was harboring a horrible, horrible secret. Rodney Alcala’s downward spiral started with a broken home, and while his story has made true crime headlines, his sickening crime spree should perhaps be most remembered for how many chances the vicious murderer was inexplicably given. This week, we explore his story. BUT FIRST! This Week In...

There’s a major announcement in this week’s Murder, My Dude, and, sadly, the show may never be the same again. But not everything is changing - we’re still providing a huge dose of true crime comedy goodness! In this episode, we take a look at the case of a set of bombings that set shockwaves through Salt Lake City in 1985. The investigation that followed centered around historical intrigue that t...

Our latest episode may have omitted one of the core parts of the Murder, My Dude Formula: The Murder! Melissa Caddick was at the top of the Australian financial industry for the better part of a decade, gracing magazine covers and earning too good to be true returns for her clients. Notice we didn’t say seemingly too good to be true returns. Melissa’s big wins didn’t come from market savvy, but fr...

Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas in July, my dudes! Wait, I’m being told this isn’t about that Rudolph. Eric Robert Rudolph spent more than his fair share of time on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List (what, exactly, is a fair share of time on that particular list?) partially because of the heinousness of his four bombings - the most infamous of which took place at Centennial Olympic Park in the midst of t...

Murder, My Dude returns with an episode that is definitely NOT for the faint of heart. Anthony Allen Shore, also known as the Tourniquet Killer, was evil personified, and this week, we’re taking a closer look at his life, times, and deeds. If you’re easily disturbed by crimes committed against children, discretion is strongly advised. And before that! This Week in Murder takes a look at an accused...

This week, we present a bit of a different episode of Murder, My Dude. This Week In Murder takes center stage in this one, as we take the time to explore the epidemic of mass shootings in the United States. Our previous episode was recorded mere hours after news broke of the tragic events in Uvalde, TX, but the two weeks since have provided little respite. With that in mind, we take a look at the...

The late 2002 disappearance of Laci Peterson dominated American media nearly twenty years ago. The expecting mother with the magnetic smile went missing on Christmas Eve, 2002, when she was eight months pregnant with her first child. In the ensuing weeks, attention began to gravitate to her strangely nonchalant husband, Scott. The media attention reached a fever pitch when a press conference was h...

Throw on your hockey masks and get ready for Summer camp, because this episode comes out on the only Friday the 13th of 2022! And we’re observing the occasion with our first-ever episode Welsh serial killer. After decades of beatings targeted at the gay community, Peter Moore - a gay man himself - escalated to murder. The movie theater owner’s peculiar style of dress gave him the nickname The Man...

It’s a horror story that seems all too possible. A womanis murdered on the streets of New York City. 38 people witness the attack, and no one intervenes or calls for help. But in the time since the horrific murder of Kitty Genovese nearly 60 years ago, many - including Kitty’s own younger brother - have questioned the narrative of the three dozen-plus witnesses who sat idly by and let a woman die...

Back in the early days of this show, we did Dr. Death, My Dude, an episode devoted to the life and times of controversial physician Jack Kervorkian, the legendary assisted suicide advocate (well, advocate might be too weak of a term). This week, we look at a much more deadly doctor. Harold Shipman was officially convicted of 15 murders, but his actual body count was, in all likelihood, exponential...

This week, it’s one of our most fun, wild, twisty stories yet. Trust us - would we lie to you? One person that certainly would was known to many in New York, New Hampshire, and Boston as Clark Rockefeller (yes, those Rockefellers). Clark rubbed elbows with those in high society all over those locales, but a messy divorce unearthed a murderous truth, and we’re here to talk about it! BUT FIRST This...

A podcast tradition continues: it’s the fourth annual Murder O’Dude! And the St. Patrick’s Day celebration takes a more modern turn as we explore a 21st Century case, that of the Mulhalls, a troubled family finding itself in the center (or, in Europe, centre) of a controversy that popped up when a severed leg was found floating in Dublin’s Royal Canal. This week, we cover the story of how the leg...

This week, we’re releasing the show a little early, and it’s a very special episode commemorating and exploring the death of Christopher Wallace/Biggie Smalls/The Notorious B.I.G., as it’s been 25 years since his tragic killing. And because one story can’t be told without the other, we’ll also explore the September 2006 death of fellow hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur, and the East Coast-West Coast feud...

Valentine's Day is over, and it's time to look at the darker side of love and murder. Debi and Howie Whitlock's marriage was hitting a rocky patch. Howie's drinking was getting out of hand, and Debi had left and started a relationship with another man, but after some time apart, they were trying to get things right. Just as it seemed all was well, Debi was brutally murdered. It'd take nine years a...

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Murder, My Dude closes out its fifth season with one of the most infamous killer couples in true crime history! Charlie Starkweather was a difficult child - a bullied boy who grew up to be a tougher young man who tormented his tormenters.

With the NFL football playoffs drawing to a close soon and the big game on the horizon, this week, Murder, My Dude takes to the gridiron! And we do so with a pair of stories that saw two football stars on opposite ends of the true crime coin.

From there, we take a deeper dive in two cold cases finally brought to an end: one with an accused killer being broug...

Murder, My Dude closes out 2021 with a trip back in time to New Year’s Eve 1964, and a trio of killings just South of the Canadian Border. When a couple travelling to ring in the New Year with family pulled into a rest stop at the Northernmost tip of the as-yet-unfinished Interstate 81, they found more than a bathroom of questionable quality. The rest stop wound up being the final resting place of...

Just in time for the holidays, Murder, My Dude covers a killer who left some very interesting reviews shopping on Amazon.com. Todd Kohlhepp ran afoul of the law from a very early age, and got away with quadruple murder for well over a decade. This episode covers his life, crimes, and the unlikely circumstances behind his capture. BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder takes a deeper look at the Oxford Hig...
