Named one of the best 100 podcasts of 2021 by Bello Collective, this M'sMs classic was originally titled "Frank Lloyd Wright" - yup, the iconic architect. Axes and fire and murder oh my. Basically, you gotta listen to this one. We'll be back next week. Find us on Patreon or subscribe on $potify for more goodies.

A hero with a hatchet takes the internet by storm and surfs too close to the sun. Showbiz people get involved, hubris charts its inevitable path, and the ugliness of violence snubs out a potential star. This really is one of the craziest episodes Muriel has ever put together.  Definitely watch the original Kai interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xa0NfCdLk4 Support Nick and Murie...

For the first time here on Muriel's Murders, our episode is about an alleged crime happening right now. Brought to Muriel's attention by Sammi and Rose from Australia, this story is unfolding as we speak... basically a family was poisoned by deadly mushrooms by way of Beef Wellington and there is a "person of interest." This all take place in Australia, and Muriel is here to catc...

The best martial artist in the country meets the worst man in the world, varying degrees of truth and justice emerge, buried treasure, NASA, the Pentagon, grandfathers, the mafia and a true-crime legend all get involved.

A junk food eating, cigarette smoking, money making sleaze ball groomed impoverished teenage girls, married a bunch of them, and got three of them pregnant. Throw guns, pills, amnesia, data recovery and Garfield (that lasagne loving orange cartoon cat) in the mix and you have the basic ingredients for a family tragedy. Meet Linda, Patty, Cinnamon and David Brown. This two-part series is based on A...

Massage parlors in Madison, Wisconsin of the 1970s and 80s were red hot and ice cold. Muriel greases us up with a classic tale of orgies, murders, Quaaludes, and the evil side of biochemistry. Barbara Hoffman was a brilliant scientist in the streets and a freak in the sheets. However you like it, steamy or frozen solid, this episode has it all. Muriel's primary source is "Winter of Frozen...

Eating humans, drinking booze, robbing gold, escaping the law, cross country murder sprees, Mormon vigilantes, the bribery of an entire town and a renegade crooked sheriff who briefly controlled the state of Montana. We're heading to the Wild West for the eyebrow-raising tale of Levi Boone Helm the Kentucky Cannibal. Muriel read "The Kentucky Cannibal: The True Story of an Outlaw, Murdere...

A suave preacher, all his murdered family members, accusations of voodoo, and literary royalty get thrown into Muriel’s brew this week. Toying with Nick’s highfalutin tendencies, Muriel read Casey Cep’s “Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee” and tells the tale of six brutal deaths and how the impossible, grumpy genius who authored “To Kill a Mockingbird” went back down so...

Ladies losing their minds, heretics getting tarred and feathered, gardens of Eden crashing and burning, and lots of grumpy husbands. Welcome to Oregon, baby!

Starboard-crossed lovers Stephanie Stearns and Buck Walker had Hawaiian hippy dreams and a nightmarish relationship with reality.  Meet the couple who knew nothing about sailing except that you could buy an old boat, teach yourself how to fix it up, and sail away from all the bummers of your life. Throw a handful of dogs, a few psychedelics, and a huge crop of weed in the mix and hit the big blue...

Nightmares come alive as Buck and Stephanie take nearly a month to reach their deserted island - a trip that should have taken a week. Plus, once they get there it ain’t so deserted. Besides way too many sharks and poisonous fish, it turns out there are quite the handful of people as well. We meet “The Mayor” and Mac-n-Muff. Sleep tight, don’t let the big dog bite. Welcome to Part Two of The Palmy...

The deep blue waters are Mac-n-Muff’s world and everyone else is just attempting survival in it.  Enter a life of Magellan-style wisdom, Moroccan pirates, machetes, and marriages held hostage to the sea. Buck and Stephanie find themselves on the bottom of a social-hierarchy they were truly convinced they had escaped, and a few people who seem like they have the right idea get the hell away from th...

The deafening terror of radio silence reverberates across the South Pacific and just about everything begins to look like a murder weapon. How many ways can two couples alone on an island push each other to the edge? Plus, what ever happened to The Doobie Brothers? The Micky Mouse Club gets involved, as does the FBI, and Stephanie’s hiding skills are put to the test. This is Part Four of The Palmy...

The “murders” part of this story hits home.  It ain’t pretty.  Plenty of ego, lots of lies, terrible writing, scary amounts of heroin, and a prison break that makes Nick do a double take.  You did it, now go check out Muriel’s Yacht Rock playlist. Thanks Anj for the DM. Love you all. This is the fifth and final part of The Palmyra Atoll Murders - a Muriel’s Murders epic based on “And The Sea Will...

Island sexiness, starvation, nihilism, Dorian Gray, dirty films, fake philosophers, pretend pirates, complaining to customer service, ship wrecks, swollen tongues, rotten flesh, and MURDER. This is a prime example of why we wanted to start this podcast and why we love it to this very day. Ahoy! Check out the full episode by supporting the show over at www.patreon.com/murielsmurders.com

Nurse vs Hitman. It's a Battle Royale for the ages. Full episode available at www.patreon.com/murielsmurders Thanks for the love.

Henry ends, and then Muriel tells us how he began. It ain’t pretty, but it’s the finale and there are fireworks galore - the disturbing kind of fireworks that kinda look like mutilated animals, broken homes, lost kids, and injustice served. Stick around and find out if you and Nick are thinking about the same thing at the very end, and see if you can sneak “confabulation” into your vocabulary. It’...

No one is safe. Not grandmas, not kids, not the teeth in your head, or the teeth in your hands.  It’s Texas in the early 1980s and the old chicken coop down at the church isn’t even safe. How many murders can one serial killer claim? Muriel leads us down an unholy path and makes our own imaginations do some dirty work. Welcome to Part One of our Henry Lee Lucas epic. The very best way to support M...

The Golden Age of serial killers, endless necrophilia, infinite murders, and one dumb pyromaniac. Texas Rangers eager to solve every missing person case in the state of Texas, one starstruck documentary crew from Japan, and one iconic journalist collide in a cigarette, prayer and strawberry milkshake filled jailhouse. Please welcome Ottis Toole and Hugh Aynesworth to our Texas tragedy.  Welcome to...
