Muriel's Murders

Muriel hits Nick with what might be one of the biggest twists in the history of Muriel’s Murders. But before she ends this episode on that shocker, she take us through conspiracy theories, libel lawsuits, and a hot shot DA’s trial for his life. We even get a little FBI and a little Jerry Springer (RIP), just for a treat.  Welcome to Part Four of out Henry Lee Lucas epic. The very best way to suppo...

We’d like you to meet Lizzie “America’s Most Hated Woman” Halliday. Muriel cuts right to the chase and locks us in the closet at a mental asylum with Lizzie and a pair of scissors. From there we have the privilege of meeting her first handful of husbands, terrified employers, estranged siblings, baffled neighbors, and a nice smattering of corpses. How can a teenage immigrant with no social power a...

Throats are slit, bodies are dumped, homes are burned, identities are faked, and Lizzie keeps on marrying. She also disappears for a year with the Romani, gets locked up, and somehow manages to steal and sell an outrageous amount of horses in one wild day. Prayers up for Charlie.  Welcome to Part Two of The Lizzie Halliday Odyssey. All Five Parts of this Muriel’s Murders epic is available now. Our...

Brutal slayings, victims hidden in horse manure, murder weapons where the sun don’t shine, and one woman just a half inch over five feet tall lives up to the title of “America’s Most Hated Woman.” You’re in it now, breathe deep and get swept up in the Lizzieness of it all. Welcome to Part Three of The Lizzie Halliday Odyssey.  All Five Parts of this Muriel’s Murders epic is available now. Our main...

Mutilated faces, vicious stranglings, high octane prisoner transfers, and one angry mob’s cold feet. Lizzie finds new ways to burn stuff down, zones in on another boy toy, and can’t get the snakes off of herself. Plus, we get to meet a pioneer of investigative journalism: Nellie Bly. Welcome to Part Four of The Lizzie Halliday Odyssey. All Five Parts of this Muriel’s Murders epic is available now....

The scissors come home to roost, some gruesome biting, a bit of head butting, Ol’ Sparky, those deep down dark concrete cells, asylum buddies, tears shed, and the question of why, God, why? Lizzie Halliday took it to the extremes and you stuck around for every bit of it. Bless us all.  Welcome to the fifth and final part of The Lizzie Halliday Odyssey.  All Five Parts of this Muriel’s Murders epic...

Iconic boxing promoter Don King is a living legend, unbelievable success, killer, and outrageous nightmare.

Muriel does the deed and tells Nick all about it. This episode (Season One, Episode 36) or...

Jake Adelstein's book "Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter On The Police Beat In Japan" serves as the main source and inspiration for this story of serial killers, wild animals, Yakuza, and the delicate balance of journalists-cops-and-criminals in 1990s Tokyo. This crime is weirdly obscure, we hope you're into what we put together here for you. Unlocking the full episode is the greatest possible way...

Muriel plants the roots of the Sharpe family tree in North Carolina and we get all the dirt on the beginnings of a bonafide Southern Dynasty. Springing from a soil of the American Civil War, the Sharpes had a ton of surviving children - each accomplished and impressive in their own right with the women in the family achieving history-making professional successes. Two of these woman have children...

Abusive and paranoid behavior starts to creep in as Susie Sharpe Newsome divorces her (maybe) mobbed-up husband Tom and takes her two young sons on an unhinged, poorly planned move to Taiwan where she is (maybe) hunted by spies. Muriel also injects us with the history of Susie’s uncle Dr. Fredrick Klenner who is a big fan of guns, racism, conspiracy theories, and mega dosing patients with vitamins...

When the murders rain, they pour. We dig into all the beefs, petty and not-so-petty, surrounding Tom’s parents Chuck and Dolores Lynch and his sister Janie Lynch. We get a better understanding of what Susie Sharpe Newsome and Fritz Klenner are up to behind closed doors in the unsafe confines of their hoarders den. Then the bullets start to fly, and just when you think you can breath again, more bu...

Mafia mayhem, interstate investigations, the Wampus Cat, gun hoarding, fake doctors, way too much Vitamin C, and weird Fritz Klenner’s womanizing ways. As a suspect emerges in the brutal slaying of five people, one incredibly nervous young CIA recruit named Ian Perkins stammers his way through the story of a fast food-fueled, costume-changing camping mission to assassinate the international gun sm...

The Chevy Blazer blows, but not before all sorts of botched wire-tapping, mystery pills, revenge murder planning, Killdozer-style truck modifications, a cacophony of law enforcement blunders, a slow speed chase, lots of uzi action, and the heart breaking death of two more Sharpe family members. This is our fifth and final part of The Bitter Blood Murders. Please start at the beginning, take care,...

The good times and true crimes keep on rolling... stay tuned for Season Two coming Wednesday February 15, 2023 with a multi-part series dropping in its entirety.

Allow us to reintroduce KILLDOZER!! Originally aired June 30, 2021 (episode 13). Marvin Heemeyer, a muffler repairman, built the Killdozer in 2004 - and then used it to destroy the town of Granby, Colorado.

From the Greatest Hits Vault... we bring you our third episode. Originally aired on April 21, 2021 under the title "Meth In Pocohontas" - this Arkansas story is a prime example of the kind of tales that made us want to start this podcast.

Our old dear friend from Seattle moved to Humboldt, got really good at managing weed farms, made a ton of money playing poker at a long running stoner’s game, got into a little trouble, fell in love, started a family and ended up in prison. This all happened during a prime handful of years that took place during the Murder Mountain stories we told in the last two episodes. Enjoy the interview. The...
