Strange & Unusual

We asked, our patreon answered, even though they didn’t know what we were asking for. We love a ride or die relationship. We decided to ask for random numbers that would be connected through an incredibly complex formula to find a season and episode of Forensic Files to cover. Our take on a book report.

This episode Roya covers Rodney Alcala, The Dating Game (show) Killer. In the episode we talk about Jenna Marbles, how hard it is to quantify grossness, and why Roman Polanski should never be allowed to win an award in the US along with the actual case details. It’s all… kind of relevant, we promise. Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on...

Starting off our crimes of the large and small screen episodes, Casey covers the Lee Family (curse? maybe). Unfortunate and untimely deaths? Definitely. The similarities are endless, uncanny and uncomfy as she talks about the death of Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Lee and draws parallels between their very early deaths. A bonus episode coming to Patreon where we speculate wildly on possible causes...

Roya finishes off the Branch Davidians and the intense debate of government overreach or cult-like activity. We landed fairly squarely in oversight combined with fire based martyrdom and some bad leadership on all sides. However, the important thing to remember is the large number of likely innocent victims of David Koresh’s egotism. Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.co...

This story has EVERYTHING: reincarnated biblical characters, child brides, sex bans, and necromancy duels. The beginning of the end for another cult as Casey dives into what led them to the edge before Roya covers the devastating plunge over it next week.

What happens when you take a creepy unhinged stalker with a hero complex and add in a desire to set things on fire? Thomas Sweatt. That’s what you get. He sucks. This is his story. Dun Dun.

Was it murder? Was it suicide? Was it extreme plastic surgery resulting in a Quasimodo-like man? The world may never know, but join us as we speculate wildly about Clarence Roberts and when slash how he actually died. Also, the end of the episode is pure chaos as we ramble about Costco Hotdogs and Frankenstein. Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow...

Our Patreons wanted it and now it’s your problem. In the poll on patreon at the beginning of the month, our lovely members voted on Cremation Catastrophe for Casey’s topic. So she is talking about the Tri-State Crematorium Scandal and we’re introducing a new bit and revisiting a classic while also welcoming a brand new sucker, I mean Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.co...

Another episode, another pair of absolute dick bags. Roya talks about the Bever Family Murders right out of her neck of the woods in Broken Arrow Oklahoma as well as the origins of the name for a crime committed for fame.

Did you all want a case that just keeps getting weirder and weirder? Ever wonder what your stance on finders keepers is? Well, do we have a case for you! In this episode, Casey goes over The Foot Guy of North Carolina, Shannon Whisnant.

Following up on last week’s episode, Roya is covering Richard Chase, a killer who inspired Criminal Minds with a small bonus of Robert Ressler who helped create the BSU team at the FBI. It’s creepy. We laugh because it’s uncomfortable (but also because Roya can’t say ‘broke into the home’ you’ll find out when you get there).

If you've ever wanted to play a drinking game with one of our episodes, this one might be it. Take a shot every time Casey reminds you 'she was a child'. This episode is pretty oof with a side of gross as Casey talks about Sally Horner, the child who definitely did not inspire the novel Lolita.

Not the longest episode in the world, but Roya tried to find cases that weren’t super well known and also were about actual werewolf myths/legends instead of just ‘The Werewolf of Milwaukee’ or something. So please enjoy this episode covering the cow murdering debutante, Emmie Burt and the reigning champion of the ‘see what had happened was’ defense, Manuel Blanco Romasanta. Email us at: Strangeun...

Previously on The Strange and Unusual, deception, secret pasts, assault, and dirty scrubs. We continue our adventure on the roller coaster that was Debra Newell’s marriage to John Meehan. The twists! The turns! The absolute roasting we gave Arlane! We hope you all enjoyed it as much as Roya did having no idea about this case somehow. Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.co...

Part 1 of… 2? Of 3? This is the first part of Casey’s… second… part to the topic Happy Endings. Join us while Casey spins an incredible tale of dirty scrubs, men who are the devil, and how maybe some people should take multiple failed marriages as a sign that maybe marriage just ain’t for them as Casey takes on the case of Debra Newell and her Doctor Nurse boyfriend John Meehan.

While Roya was initially going to make this a cruel pun about crimes in massage parlors, a patreon member suggested a very interesting survivor story. To fill the episode out a little more, Roya found another! Hope you're not scared of planes by the end of this and if you're ever in a plane crash I hope you're as lucky as these two women, Juliane Koepcke and Vesna Vulović. Email us at: Strangeunus...

Patreon voted on it and patreon got it... sorta. It was a tie so Roya had to step in and get involved in breaking the tie. So, please enjoy this episode about floods and how they can sometimes happen even when water's not involved.

What happened to Haydn's head? The first head? The second head? The third head? It’s a story of friendship and magic for everyone. Casey goes back to her roots of music as she explores the mystery (or lack thereof) of Haydn’s head. Do you know anyone that has a best friend’s head? Maybe you should get the authorities involved.

If there was an Academy Award for best twist in a podcast, Roya would be nominated. The show notes this time are going to be a little bare cause we don’t want to give it away, but if you know, you know!

Fee-hee-hee-heeeeeny. Casey talks about John Feeney, a teacher of dubious morals who just happened to be away from his home at the time that his wife and two children were brutally murdered. Mysteries and unanswered questions abound in this case. You may think you know the answers, but then some evidence will come up to make you question it all over again!

“Well, that was exciting, but I also hated it.” - Casey, 2022. In this episode, we’re doing our first part of people who might have probably definitely gotten away with murder. In this Roya focused episode, she does a dive into the life and death of Kurt Cobain. Murder? Suicide? Who did it? We’ll speculate all of it and you decide what you think.

In this episode, Casey takes us on one hell of a ride. We hope that you don’t feel like an adult Harry Potter under the stairs while you listen to the story of Lori Vallow and her unraveling world. Her crazy religion has everything, Demon Nick Schneider, zombies, reincarnations and ceilings.

Continuing the trend of a deeper dive with individual episodes for both hosts, Roya is leading off this topic with the kidnapping of Michael Hughes and how one boy being kidnapped unraveled two people with a lifetime of skeletons in their closets.

Time for MURDER! We know you guys were waiting with baited breath and we’re evidently trying out a solo episode situation for the next few planned episodes so let us know how you feel about that set up on one of our various social medias below! This is a Roya one and she covers the murders of Ruth Adams and Rick Wendorf by some loser who pretended he was a thousand year old demon. Email us at: Str...

Much like Alyssa Edwards, we are back back back again! You thought you got rid of us? HA! Wrong. This is a Casey episode where she takes us on a small Epcot tour of Vampires before rounding out the episode with a conversation around the inspiration behind Dracula, Vlad Tepes. But was he actually the inspiration? A mystery. Next week Roya talks about what Roya talks about best, MURDER. Email us at:...
