Muriel's Murders

From Mafia to Ministry... Nick takes the wheel on this special edition of Muriel's Murders! This week instead of Muriel doing the research and storytelling, the roles are reversed. Nick tells Muriel a mob story he first heard back in the late nineties when he got his hands on an audio cassette tape of Tom Papania telling his own life story from rags to mafia riches to being a Born Again Christian....

A serial killing, ex-NFL playing, fake beard wearing absolute weirdo caused a lot of damage along the I-5 corridor in the beginning of the 80s.

It's a freaky Australian mystery courtesy of Muriel via Peter Butt's book "Dr. Bogle & Mrs. Chandler: The Confession". From what we could tell this case hasn't been covered by any American podcasts, so we're pumped to tell the story (or at least Muriel is). Get ready for free loving scientists, communist revolutionaries, and tons of diarrhea. Part 2 coming next week. Thank you Kris, Amie and S...

Back in October 2020 we originally recorded and released six episodes of Muriel's Murders as an experiment on our comedy podcast Hella In Your Thirties. Four of them are available at www.patreon.com/murielsmurders , one of them exists deep on the Hella feed, and today we bring you this one: the story of Belle Gunness. She killed a lot of kids. Be warned. Also be warned that we ramble for a long ti...

Muriel takes us back to the Mayflower to properly set the stage for the assassination of President Garfield by (the possibly insane) Charles Guiteau. Sexy Christian Communist Communes, the biggest troublemakers on the Mayflower, historic hangings, absurd techiniques for removing bullets, Stephen Sondheim... this one has pretty much every single thing Muriel finds fascinating. Thank you Claire for...

Iconic boxing promoter Don King is a living legend, unbelievable success, killer, and (arguably) an outrageous nightmare. He came up in the mob infested numbers game of Cleveland, booked Marvin Gaye and Muhammad Ali at his very first event, lived a life of true luxury, and played a part in setting Michael Jackson on fire. Muriel does the deed and tells Nick all about it. To support the podcast and...

Murder Among the Mormons is the new Netflix true crime documentary directed by Jared Hess & Tyler Measom - and Muriel has been reading too much for this podcast, so it felt like a good week to put the books down and pick up the remote. Nick gets hit with a pipe bomb of a story about Mark Hofman, treasure hunting, uzis, magical salamanders and the Anarchist Cookbook. Big love goes out to Justin...

The drunken conclusion! Muriel & Nick get loaded, indulge in some heated Thanksgiving-style "talking", and work their way through the end of the story. Part 3 of 3. Don't start with this episode (go back to episode 32), but if you're reading this and haven't listened to Muriel's Murders before, welcome. We're so thankful you're here. RIP Christine. Love to Andrea. -- SHOW INFORMATION Instagram...

Hungarian artistocrats, Viennese super models, Canada's Most Wanted, and the strange 1973 death of Christine Demeter. This one is a listener request by way of Instagram and we had to track down an out of print book so Muriel could torture Nick with all the juicy details. The book is "By Persons Unknown: The Strange Death of Christine Demeter" by George Jonas and Barbara Amiel. Thank you Lara &...

The 1997 failed assassination of Hamas leader Khaled Mashal is one for the history books. Muriel does her best to actually understand one of those books and Nick does what he can to keep up. Peace treaties, luxury balconies, cans of Coke, baseball trivia, a foxy doctor, and squirt guns full of poison... this one gets screwy.

Both Candy and her second husband, Jacques Mossler, were born extremely poor and ascended to the top of the American dream until he ended up stabbed to death in a one-bedroom Miami apartment, his blood soaked into t...

Directed by Devid Enright, the doc is not yet available in the United States, but someone was able to get Muriel a copy. So of course, Muriel utilizies some of her own witchiness to smash Ni...

A snake-handling preacher, mountian top fight club, pet raccoon and the 1991 attempted murder of Darlene Summerford in the Southern Appalachian region of Alabama.
