Twisted Listers

This week, Twisted Listeners, we are covering our very own Twisted Listers Most Wanted List (because the FBI one is kind of crappy). Last week we looked at the successes of amateur sleuths, and this week you can put on your sleuth hat and learn more about some cases from around the globe that desperately need a happy ending of their own. Featuring a prolific serial killer inexplicably let out of p...

Hey there Twisted Listeners! This week is a little longer than normal, because we just couldn't stop talking about these crazy cases! These are our top ten most wanted cases - cases and crimes we are just dying to see solved (pun intended?) We cover some very well known cases, as well as some you maybe haven't heard yet. We want to bring attention to these cases in the hopes some super sleuths can...

This week, we’re looking at crimes solved by ordinary people - from podcasters, to amateur sleuths, to moms on a mission. These are the cases police couldn't, and often, wouldn’t - solve, so join us as we cheer on these investigative heroes picking up the slack where the real investigators drop the ball. Featuring a pecan orchard hiding terrible secrets, a boogeyman in a van, a KKK criminal held a...

This week, dear listeners, we bring you hope, in the form of murders being solved by everyday people like you (and us!) These are cases the police couldn't - or in some very infuriating cases, wouldn't - solve, so the community at large did it for them! From mothers who refused to give up, to curios bloggers, to dedicated podcasters, and even just a few folks who couldn't get a case out of their h...

This week, we turn to the wild topic of Mormon Murders! Featuring several evil polygamist cult leaders, a divine revelation on a yellow legal pad, a legendary phony salamander, a fugitive on a bike, and a husband with a double life. Join us on this journey through the wild and wacky world of some exceptionally murderous Mormons, and their less-than-holy activities. Stay off our lists, but whatever...

Holy hell, twisted listeners, this week is another doozy of a list! We are discussing the Mormon church, and more specifically, some of its less holy followers. These LDS devotees are anything but godly, but they sure are wild. We have a story involving a phony salamander, LDS break away cults, stolen identities, polygamy to the max, and so much more! So tune in and see just how wild our LDS frien...

This week, we’re turning to the seriously disturbing topic of best friend murders, i.e. absolutely brutal besties. What could be more messed up than betraying and killing your best friend? This week’s roundup features a chillingly cold child killer, a murder by iced coffee, a tumultous high school love triangle, and a terrifying proposal from a mysterious online boyfriend. Choose your friends wise...

Hey Twisted Listeners! This week we're taking on a tough topic: brutal besties! This top ten is all about best frenemies, and boy, are these cases wild. We have a love triangle, a group murder, completely random bathroom attacks, and much more! It's all so twisted, and sad, and very, very scary. This episode gives new meaning to the phrase "trust no one". So if you have a toxic friendship, watch o...

This week, we’re belatedly tackling a less-than-romantic topic - very murdery first dates! Featuring several mind-numbingly awful police investigations, a murder dungeon, a harrowing tale of survival, and a hike that once again, proves all of Diva’s feelings about hiking correct. Join us as we delve into the deeply frightening world of dating, and all the horrible things that could possibly happen...

As we all know, Twisted Listeners, dating SUCKS! And no horrible online hookup, no awkward chit chat, or spark that never was, could suck more than these all time terrible first dates, which very sadly, all end in death, one way or another! These poor unsuspecting singles could have never guessed what was in store for them when they finally met up with their would be sweethearts, and considering h...

This week, we’re tackling murders that were shown live to audiences, whether on tv, or via social media. As a long overdue redo of our long since taken-down first episode, we had a lot of fun tackling the cases with which we began Twisted Listers, and adding some new ones to the list! Featuring a morning news report gone horribly wrong, one of the worst sisters of all time, an on-air suicide in fu...

Hey Twisted Listeners! This week we're doing a major redo - it's our very first (and now archived) episode, re-imagined and re-recorded, now that we actually know how to research! Join us as we cover some old cases, and also sprinkle in some new tales, of horrifying deaths that were caught on camera, and in fact, LIVE STREAMED! It takes a certain type of sicko to livestream a murder, but if you've...

This week, we have a doozy of a topic - celebrities that were murdered! Suffice to say these are all huge, famous cases, and many make us cry! Featuring a candidate for world’s worst dad, an iconic cult murder that defined the 60s, a fan club manager from hell, and a horrific murder mid-concert. Join us as we take a tour through the dark side of Hollywood, with all its glamour and glitz, that ends...

Hey there Twisted Listeners! This week we went a interesting direction - celebrity murders! Many of these are super sad, and some are also super unsolved. From rap feuds gone terribly wrong, to the all too familiar abusive father, to fans gone way too wild, we are covering some of the most famous, and infamous, tales from the dark recesses of Hollywood. So join us for a trip through the glamour an...

This week, we’re celebrating Cindy’s birthday by discussing murders that took place in the decade of her birth, the 1980s! Listen in and get totally tubular with us as we talk about all the things that made the 80s the 80s, from stranger danger to notorious serial killers and horrifically racist injustice. Featuring an unexpected head in a box, an ambiguous dingo incident, a problematic Preppy, an...

This week, dear twisted listeners, we're celebrating Cindy's birthday by telling tales of murders and disappearances that happened in the 80's, the decade when this old gal was born! The murders of the 80's are varied in their scope, but they all share in common a certain national fervor in the way they were reported on and received. The 80's ushered in the age of "Stranger Danger" as well as the...

We’re back, twisted listeners, and we have a doozy of a topic for you this week! This week we’re talking about women (and girls) who snapped - and with good reason. Although a few may be dubious in the justness of their motives, you’ll find it hard not to sympathize with many of these women who just decided they had ENOUGH of some bullshit. Featuring an iconic amputation, a burning bed, a murder b...

Hey there Twisted Listeners! This week we're talking about women who 'snapped' before killing - at least, that's how they are portrayed in the media. In all honesty, these are some of the morally murkiest cases we've ever covered, and many have us rethinking the idea of self defense. We have teens to kill their abusers, moms protecting their children, but also a few less murky cases, like a grocer...

The second part of this week’s episodes is now posted! This week, we turn to a heavy, difficult, but important topic - the horrifyingly rampant murders of transgender people. From a missing person and a recent, unsolved murder, to the long-since cold murder case of an iconic drag queen and a badass tale of survival, these cases demonstrate the nightmarish and unnecessary gauntlet of danger facing...

This week is a very horrible and difficult topic, but one we thought needed to be covered, and hopefully we did it justice. This week we are talking about Transgender people who have been murdered. This topic highlights the abuse and issues trans people face every single day, as well as the ultimate price many pay simply for living as their true selves. We try our best to be allies, and we hope sh...

The second of this week’s episodes is now posted! We’re concluding 2021 with one more festive (?) topic - murders that happened at parties! Featuring a pair of killer porn stars, a sinister sleepover, a murderous boat party, and a house party with dead bodies in attendance. These cases range from the heartbreaking to the trashy, and they will all make you want to stay home and party on the couch....

Despite our current world situation, many people are planning for pretty epic New Year's events this coming weekend, and to celebrate in our own way, we decided to cover people who were murdered while at parties. And wow, this topic is vast, with so many different types of parties to choose from - boat parties, New Year's parties, even meth fueled parties (the worst kind, we think)! But who can re...

Happy Holidays, twisted listeners! The second of this week’s episodes is now posted, and consider it our gift to you, because we’re covering holiday murders! Featuring Diva yelling about a cup of pineapple, a mall santa from hell, a pork-filled motive for murder, and a Christmas family annihilator. We hope you all have great holiday celebrations, and that they’re nothing like these frightening fes...

Happy Holiday, Twisted Listers! To keep things festive, this week we are discussing murders that happened on or around the holidays (or, as with one case, those committed by people who play Santa at the mall). Holidays can bring out the best - and the worst - in people, and none more than the murderers in these horrible, horrible tales. From Boxing Day murders over stolen pigs, to serial killer Sa...

The second half of this week’s episodes is now posted, and BOY, it is not for the faint of heart - we’re covering torturers! Featuring a Hello Kitty-decorated house of horrors, a foster mom from hell, and thankfully, an incredible story of survival. We promise, our episodes won’t always be this gruesome, but these notorious cases are compelling, fascinating, and horrifying all at the same time. Jo...
