Murder, My Dude

Murder, My Dude closes June by celebrating Pride Month the way we should have all along! All of our stories this month have featured stories with LGBT perpetrators (and, with the exception of last week, mostly LGBT victims as well. This week, we do it the right way by focusing on a trio of cases that showcase the level of hatred the community has been tragically subjected to for decades. First, Th...

We've reached week three of our four week Pride Month special, and this week we examine the tortured history of Aileen Wuornos. Long before she was portrayed by Charlize Theron in the critically acclaimed biopic, Aileen's life was a horror story from beginning to end. This tragic tale isn't for the faint of heart. But first, we take trip back to the conspiracy corner in a lengthy prelude, which is...

Our Pride Month series continues this week on Murder, My Dude. But first, our opening bit, normally reserved for fun banter, revisits a story that still weighs heavy on the United States as well as the rest of the world: the death of George Floyd and the push for social justice in the U.S. as a whole. From there, This Week In Murder looks at a very cold case and the death of a former NFL player. A...

So we thought we got a little political last week, and that we'd go back to normal (as normal as our show ever gets). Then the next seven days happened. Needless to say, we spend the first 43 minutes or so of the show doing our usual show-opening nonsense before getting more into the new developments surrounding the George Floyd case and the demonstrations and conflict surrounding it. We pull no p...

Join Jackson and B.P. for another dose of true crime comedy to close out the month of May. And we finish May with a very politically charged This Week In Murder with a story of an incel-related (see our back catalog for Incels, My Dude) mass shooting that was thankfully thwarted before turning deadly. Then, a charged discussion of the horrible, entirely preventable murder of George Floyd. From the...

It's that time of week again: time for nearly two hours of true crime and comedy goodness! This week, Jackson Welles gets his soapbox rant out of the way bright and early! After that, This Week In Murder looks at the family of a Louisville EMT shot by police lawyering up and an arrest recently made in an Australian cold case.  In our main story, we look at the kidnapping and tragic death of T...

Like every episode of Murder, My Dude, you'll be saying, "I'm lovin' it" after you're done listening to this one! First, This Week in Murder takes a long-overdue look at the death of Ahmaud Arbery to take a look at the long-overdue new legal proceedings in the case. Also, we take a look at the horrible way that a minor league baseball pitcher heard the worst news of his life.  From there, it'...

Murder hornets? Check. COVID killers? Check. An infamous English Ripper? Check. Who died the worst? Check. This episode has everything! This week, Jackson and B.P. enjoy a few libations (responsibly) and talk the Yorkshire Ripper. Nearly 90 years after Saucy Jack terrorized the streets of Whitechapel, another demented soul did the same in the North of England. Thirteen women lost their lives in th...

G'day! This week, Murder, My Dude is keeping the international theme going by leaving North America and visiting the beautiful nation of Australia. More specifically, this week takes a look at one of the more famous serial murderers in the nation's history. The Summer of 1993 was a season of fear for young women in an around the suburbs of Melbourne, and for good reason. This week, we look at the...

Some serial killers are best known by their signature weapon or method of murder. David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam, was also known as the .44 Caliber Killer. You had the Boston Strangler, and the most famous disemboweler of all: Jack The Ripper. But a lesser known serial killer in Canada may have had the most unique murder weapon of all. Gilbert Paul Jordan could put away incredible amounts of alco...

Murder, My Dude gets down and dirty this week with a look at one of Pennsylvania's most notorious outlaw bikers: Robert "Mudman" Simon. A founding member of the PA Chapter of the Warlocks motorcycle gang, Simon spent a great deal of his adult life in prison, and almost all of his time as a free man raising unimaginable amounts of hell. Once behind bars, he met the opposite side of the same coin, a...

Murder, My Dude returns with another super-sized helping of true crime goodness to help make your quarantine downtime a little more fun. John DuPont was social distancing before it was cool (ok, that's enough Covid references). The eccentric multi-millionaire lived a childhood full of loneliness before devoting much of his adulthood to sport. By the mid 1980s, wrestling had drawn DuPont's interest...

Murder, My Dude returns with a lover's quarrel turned into an international manhunt. Ira Einhorn was a central part of Philadelphia counterculture from the Summer of Love all the way up until the mid-seventies, but when things turned South in a tumultuous five-year relationship, he was revealed to be a bad neighbor, an even worse boyfriend, and a surprisingly hard to nab fugitive. This week's show...

Murder, My Dude is back with another dose of True Crime goodness! What better way to distract yourself from the horrors of our current world than with an account of a brutal, sexually sadistic crime spree? First, This Week In Murder takes a look at a COVID-19 related shooting and an arson arrest that leads to something more. Then, we cover the horrific crimes of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, wh...

We've gotten an amazing response for our latest episode! So amazing, we recorded a quick thank you message.

We've been good here at Murder, My Dude and we're doing our best to practice Social Distancing! It may have made us a little bit stir crazy, though, and the result is one of the goofiest episodes of the podcast ever! The subject matter, as always, is quite serious though: This Week In Murder explores a horrible mass shooting in North Carolina and a prison escape that wasn't in Alabama. Our feature...

Send in the clowns! As this show is released on March 12, 2020, it 40 years ago to the day that John Wayne Gacy was found guilty of over 30 (!) counts of murder. This week, we look at the killer clown's tragic backstory, apparent successes, and the dark crimes those successes provided a cover for. We also look at the societal and parental pressures that may have created this monster. As always, it...

Jackson and B.P. keep their post-hiatus momentum going with the longest episode in MMD history! The Tool Box Killers, Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, are among the most evil criminals this show has discussed in its year-plus of covering crime. They terrorized Southern California for the better part of 1979, praying exclusively on teenage girls in brutalizing them is such horrible ways they made...

Murder, My Dude returns from a lengthy hiatus to cover the basics of what is likely the most famous political assassination of the 20th Century: the 1963 murder of President John F. Kennedy. While it's impossible to fully explore every angle of the assassination in a single podcast, this episode provides a good launching point, covering the official story as well as several prominent conspiracy th...

We normally release our show right at 12AM on Thursday, but as today would be the 91st birthday of the late Martin Luther King Jr., it's fitting to release it now instead. We start this week's show off with our usual chaotic, comedic spin on true crime podcasting, but then we take a deep, deep look at both the infamous April 4, 1968 assassination of Dr. King, but also a serious attempt on his life...

After a two-week holiday break, Murder, My Dude returns with a vengeance! And, like all great MMD episodes, many, many side tangents, too! After a half hour talking about the holidays and their political implications, the often imitated, never duplicated This Week In Murder looks at some of the most brutal and bizarre deaths of late 2019 and early 2020. After that, we're on to Hollywood's most fam...

Season two comes to an end with our biggest dive into a featured topic ever. Jack The Ripper, the grandfather of all serial killers, is still at the tip of tongues 130 years after his crime spree began. The first half of this episode takes a look at the most famous whodunit of all-time, while the second half breaks down the list of suspects and tries to unmask the man who terrorized Whitechapel in...

Like many other people, B.P. has watched the new Netflix blockbuster release The Irishman, so what better time than now to delve into one of the most famous missing persons cases of all time: the disappearance and likely death of former International Brotherhood of Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa. This episode chronicles Hoffa's rise to power, his feud with the Kennedys and eventual downfall, and...

This episode was recorded later in the night than usual, and it shows! If you're a fan of frantic comedy and insane banter, then this is the episode for you! Along the way, Jackson and B.P. also make time for a super-sized This Week In Murder and an in-depth look at Pedro Rodrigues Filho, a.k.a. Killer Petey, a vigilante killer who has been compared to the title character in the hit TV show Dexter...

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! What better way to celebrate your life and all that you're thankful for than by listening to a podcast about people who lost theirs? This week's episode is a smorgasbord of savagery, starting with a heaping helping of This Week In Murder covering two tales of friends and lovers making  better enemies in the Sunshine State of Florida.  From there, our ne...
