Twisted Listers

Hey hey, Twisted Listers! This week, Cindy is flying solo while Diva takes some much deserved RNR to see some friends. As such, Cindy chose at random, and landed on the crazy case of Diane and Joseph Pikul, a power couple with a dark secret that cost on of them their life in the end. Join a solo sister as she tells the twisted tale, and be sure to tune in later this week for another solo episode!...

Here we are with part 2 of this wild topic, a topic we cannot believe we've never covered before! Black Widow murders are a fairly common occurrence, but even so, they aren't something you get used to. Who could ever be okay with a loving wife suddenly turning into a cold blooded killer, especially for money, and especially when they've been happily married for years (or, in some of these cases, D...

This week, Twisted Listeners, we're turning to a well known topic and calling out a particular type of woman who has many nicknames: maneater, murderess, and of course, Black Widow. We've covered many cases involing murderous women, but never those who specifically murder their husband, or husbands, and we're very excited to finally give this topic the attention it deserves. It takes a special kin...

Part two of this horrible set of stories is coming at you with two very different tales of murders gone viral. One story begins with a strange yet weirdly sweet story of a hitchhiker who saves a woman in distress, but ends up on the wrong side of the law. The second story is more decidedly bleak, with a very sad and scary, and definitely premeditated, murder carried out by a jealous and wildly imm...

This week, Twisted Listers, we're discussing a very topical subject: murders that went internet viral! These twisted tales were all over the news, the internet - everywhere! And in each case there is a very good reason, as these tales are so over the top, so messed up, and, in some cases, so frustrating, there's no way they couldn't be on everyone's minds. We have cases old and new, resolved and n...

This week, we’re doing a sickening sequel to one of our most brutal topics: Houses of Horrors! These cases are not for the faint of heart, so be warned before “entering” these terrifying abodes. Featuring one of the most disturbing cases of imprisonment and torture in US history, a dank boiler room of horrors, and a torture-loving German couple from hell. Join us as we make it through this absolut...

This week, twisted family, we are doing another redux/redo list - Houses of Horror! We found so many horrifying tales we didn't cover on the first round that we just had to give it another go. And boy oh boy, this one is a doozy! These stories are not for the faint of hear, and in fact, our first two involve people held captive for TEN years! And these poor victims aren't exactly at a Holiday Inn....

This week, Cindy has selected an unusually gruesome topic for her tastes: murders in which victims were dismembered! Featuring an ungodly amount of body parts raining down on Depression-era Cleveland, a killer with a gargantuan last meal, and a dismembering serial killer who dabbles in art and poetry. Join us as we cringe at these extra brutal cases, and be sure to stay far, far off this list, as...

This week, the Twisted Listers are tackling a topic we are, quite frankly, shocked we haven't yet done: dismemberments! And what's more, Cindy chose this one - not Diva! It was a listener request, granted, but still, this week is full of surprises, incluidng the shocking stories we're telling. These horrific stories include the murder of a young teen, a serial killer whose body count is still bein...

This week, we look at some murderers who were driven to kill…literally, because they killed people with their cars. The killers on this list felt they had a “license” to kill, and turned cars into terrifying, deadly weapons. Featuring a black widow who stalked Canada’s cybersphere, a student’s notorious rampage through a crowded college town, and a brutal murder motivated by insurance money. Steer...

This week, Twisted Listeners, we're going for a ride of sorts; cruising into a terrible topic that involves vehicles. That's right, we're doing people who were murdered by cars! This doesn't include any accidental deaths, of course, but even so, we had more than enough to choose from! Tune in for tales of a cheating husband and his bad plan for murder, two ladies who are wildin' out big time, and...

This week, we turn to the topic of murders that rocked small towns. Inspired by the recent serial stabbings in Cindy’s hometown of Davis, CA, we’ve selected some truly terrifying tales from towns so small they barely register on the map. Featuring slaughter at a grocery store, an unholy affair that led to murder, and a conspiracy involving small town law enforcement. These cases will remind us tha...

This week, dear Twisted Listeners, we're diving into a topic inspired by the tragic, recent serial killings in Cindy's home town of Davis, CA. These recent murders seem unfathomable in such a small town, but here we are. And because murders can and do happen in small towns, that's our topic for this week: Small Town Murders! These strange, frustrating, and all around horrific tales all come from s...

This week, we turn to one of the most frightening types of killers around: those with seemingly no motive at all, perpetrators of the notorious “thrill kill.” As we prefer to get our thrills in much different, less violent ways, it’s really disturbing to know that this is what excites some people. Featuring a terrifying gang of murderous children, the shocking murder of a young cheerleader, and a...

Sometimes, Twisted Listeners, thrills can be fun. Going on roller coasters, seeing scary movies, even something as wild as sky diving - these things can all be fun ways to scare and excite yourself. One way to definitely NOT get excited is through thrill kililngs, which is our topic of discussion for this week. The horrible jerks on this list killed their victims in awful, terrible ways, and for w...

This week, we’re turning to some of the wildest and most horrific murders from Australia. Whether it’s the notorious outback serial killer Ivan Milat, or the cannibal horrors of Katherine Knight, but there’s always something extra gnarly about Aussie murders. Join us on our trip to this intense country, featuring a mysterious death involving a trash chute, a notorious unidentified serial killer, a...

G'day, Twisted Listeners! (That's right, we went there). This week, we're diving into a topic we covered waaaay back when we were wee little podcasters, so we wanted to give it another go: Murders of Australia! These crimes are chilling, scary, twisted, and horrible - all the things we love to hate, and all of them take place in Australia! We've covered some of the bigger cases under other list to...

This week, we’re looking at the thematic Easter topic of murders that involve priests and nuns. It’s no secret that the Catholic Church has a dark side that’s led to all kinds of horrifying crimes. Featuring a priest brought to justice for a long since cold case, the brutal murder of a nun who was advocating for her victimized students, and a frenzied attack that shocked a monastery. Listen and ra...

Holy Hell, Twisted Listeners! This week we're taking on an Easter themed, super twisted topic: murder of the cloth! Each of these murder involves a priest or nun committing the ultimate sin. And, as many of you could guess, it also involves a shit ton of cover ups by the church! These cases are so twisted, so infuriating, and so commonplace that we had difficulty choosing just four cases! The ones...

This week, we’re covering cases of people who were murdered (or disappeared) while on spring break. We’re just a little bitter that we’re not on vacation, so we’re looking at cases that show us all the dangers that can befall spring break revelers. Featuring the recent, shocking resolution of a notorious cold case, the mysterious disappearance of a promising college senior, and a young girl who wa...

Hello and Happy Spring Break, Twisted Listeners! This week we are drowning our sorrows at not being on vacation by warning others to be careful and beware if they do decide to partake in the springtime festivities. How are we doing this, you ask? By covering cases of people who disappeared or died while on spring break, of course! We start this week with two extremely frustrating unsolved cases, a...

This week, we turn to the world of serial killers - specifically those who have been active in the past five years. Featuring a terrifying cannibal from Mexico City, a random shooter that terrorized Stockton, and a serial killer whose confession solved multiple cold cases. Join us as we shudder in horror at the thought of these spine-chilling killers being in our midst - and they’re just some of t...

We're coming in hot with some contemporary killers this week, Twisted Listers! Diva, as always, loves her serial killer cases, and wanted to make this one extra interesting by covering serial killers only discovered in the past five years. Because of this, many of these stories are unfinished, but still riveting and horrible all the same! We have a self confessed perpetrator of multiple cold case...

This week, we turn to the topic of greedy killers motivated by one of the most petty, yet omnipresent motives for murder: money! Featuring a demented mother and son crime duo, a woman who murdered to keep her financial fraud a secret, and the brutal murder of a happy couple over a botched yacht theft. Join us as we rage against these disgustingly capitalist trash people who value money above human...

Hey hey Twisted Listeners! This week we have another round of weird and wacky cases centered around people who murdered business partners, strangers, and even loved ones for a very specific and crappy motive: monetary profit! These monsters are peak capitalist trash, going as far as ending the lives of others so they can live lives of luxury, just because they felt entitled to it! These cases will...
