Nature vs Narcissism
Nature vs Narcissism is a true crime/comedy podcast based in Cincinnati, Ohio where Heather and her guests discuss true crimes and the narcissists who commit them. Sometimes we have alcohol and sometimes things get weird. Relaunching on our 4th PodBirthday (Oct 22, 2021), the structure changed a lot. Every episode is different and every episode is entertaining! We will delve into whether we think nature made the criminals commit these heinous acts, or if it's simply their narcissism getting the best of them. Keep in mind, this podcast is strictly for entertainment purposes and is in no way a professional diagnosis...

Turner, aka the “Antifreeze Killer” was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole on March 27, 2007 for the murder of her husband and later her estranged boyfriend.

Turner was found dead in prison on August 30, 2010. Much speculation remains as to whether her death was suicide, or perhaps due to an accidental overdose of prescription blood pressure medication.

Lady Killers (Anna Marie Hahn) wKarah
For those who have been listeners since the start of NVN, you know that the very first episode in 2017 was about Aileen Wuornos. But the recent episodes provide a lot more depth and offer details that we found through documentaries and books that were in Aileen’s words. This truly changed my perspective on the person she was. This made me want to look more into other female killers (some we’ve discussed briefly and others we’ve never talked about on the podcast). Heather and Karah will be covering some "Lady Killers" in this mini-series. In this episode, we’re going to talk about Anna Marie Hahn. As a quick summary, Anna Marie Hahn was a 26-year old immigrant from Germany who offered her services in Cincinnati as a live-in attendant for elderly men. Over a period of about a year she would end up taking all she could from 5 victims (all of their assets) before finally murdering them once they had nothing left for her to take. She used a different poison each time she killed her victims. Once suspicions were raised, police exhumed the bodies of her victims aka her former employers, and she was arrested. Even though it was pretty clear that she was the killer, she still attempted a mercy killing defense…which didn’t pan out. And in 1938, Anna Marie Hahn became the first woman in Ohio’s history to die in the electric chair.

Marie Alexandrine Becker (Part 1 & Part 2)
Marie Alexandrine Baker was classified as a serial killer who would rob and poison her victims in Belgium. Marie began killing at 55 years old, in 1932 and was apprehended in 1936.

For her crimes, Marie was sentenced to life in prison in 1936, only to die 2 years later in 1942. Since Part 1 was less than 10 minutes; we combined Part 1 and Part 2 for one episode!

Aileen Wuornos (Part 2)
Join Heather and Brittany in Part 2 of Aileen Wuornos to see what their thoughts are on Nature, Nurture, and Narcissism. WHY did Aileen do what she did? Why did she behave so erratically? COULD she have stopped killing? Could she ever have actual remorse for her actions? Did she truly believe that she was the target of government conspiracies? What was going on in that head of hers? And what about Dawn? Was she a positive influence on Aileen? Or just another person who Aileen could manipulate, gaslight, and take advantage of? --- ALSO - just to remind you guys!

Aileen Wuornos (Part 1)
The Monster. The Damsel of Death. Infamously referred to as the first female serial killer. At five feet, four inches tall and 137 pounds; a transient sex worker who took the lives of 7 men in several acts of self-defense, according to her. But how could this be possible? Aileen aka Lee, was all love, at one time, stating quote “Too bad society has me all wrong, from all the cop lies and defamation put out on me. Because really I was all ‘LOVE’. Now I’m not.” For this episode, I tried to stick to the dates and the facts that we knew about Aileen and her criminal life. In part 2, We will delve more into our thoughts regarding her crimes, behavior, and details that we found straight from her writings and interviews. So, join us next week for Part 2 - where Brittany (From Where The Weird Things Are Podcast) and I will do a deep dive discussion about the case, the people involved, our thoughts regarding nature vs nurture, and much more.

Richard Speck (Part 1)
Born as Richard Benjamin Speck, on December 6, 1941 in Kirkwood, IL; he is known for murdering 8 female students who lived together on the south side of Chicago. But that wasn’t the beginning of his crimes. As we’ve seen with all other cases; this was escalated behavior.

Author Kerrie Droban on "Aurora" and James Holmes
On July 20, 2012, 24-year-old James Holmes (whilst dressed in tactical clothing and bright orange dyed hair) set off tear gas grenades and shot multiple firearms into the Aurora, Colorado Century 16 movie theater midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises audience. His actions led to the death of 12 people and injuring 70 others; 58 of whom were injured from gunfire. In this episode, Heather sits down with award winning author and attorney Kerrie Droban to discuss her latest book, Aurora: The Psychiatrist Who Treated the Movie Theater Killer Tells Her Story. In their book, Dr Lynn Fenton; the psychiatrist who treated James Holmes, and Kerrie Droban take you into the minds of a mass shooter (James Holmes) and his psychiatrist (Dr. Lynn Fenton) and how she was affected long-term. Kerrie shares her experience with writing the book, working with/interviewing Dr. Fenton, as well as what she learned about Holmes based on his thoughts, actions, and treatment sessions with Fenton. Kerrie highlights the fact that Holmes was actively getting help when he executed his tragic plan to kill dozens of people. She shares that this is proof that there is no blueprint when it comes to identifying when someone may do something so extreme. We can ask all the questions. We can report all the odd behaviors. But at the end of the day, we are all still learning about the criminal psyche and need to apply our knowledge and understanding to each situation on a case by case basis. We may never be able to predict and stop every single criminal who decides that they want to be a mass shooter/mass killer. But we can take what we learn from cases like Holmes’ and apply it to try and prevent future tragedies. Most often, these criminals are incredibly manipulative and calculating. “ Let’s not forget; every psychopath is a narcissist. Every sociopath is a narcissist. But not every narcissist is a psychopath or sociopath. ” - Kerrie Droban Kerrie’s goal with writing true crime books: The goal of writing these books, for Kerrie, is to expose, to educate, to inform, and to give that platform to the victims and their loved ones. A platform for them to tell their story and celebrate the lives of these people. It is difficult to read but it’s insightful and the more that we talk about it and keep the conversation going; keep the memory alive.

Peter Kurten (Part 1)
Born as Peter Kürten on May 26, 1883, to alcoholic abusive parents in Mulheim am Rhein, Germany. He was eventually referred to as the Vampire of Dusseldorf and the Dusseldorf Monster. Between February and November of 1929; Kurten committed no less than 9 murders, along with many attempted murders. Prior to this crime spree; in the years leading up to 1929; he was no stranger to the criminal world. Such activities included sexual assaults, burglary, arson, theft, threatening behavior, and attempted robbery, among other crimes. Aside from the crimes and murders that he was eventually convicted for; he confessed to the 1913 murder of a 9-year-old girl in Mulhein am Rhein as well as the attempted murder of a 17-year-old girl in Düsseldorf. Kürten’s moniker came from the fact that he would occasionally attempt to drink the blood from his victims' wounds. Another moniker, the "Düsseldorf Monster" was attributed to him, both because the majority of his murders were committed in and around the city of Düsseldorf, AND the savagery he inflicted upon his victims' bodies. Peter Kurten was executed in July 1931 at 48 years old. He is the German serial killer whose “widely analyzed career influenced European society’s understanding of serial murder, sexual violence, and sadism in the first half of the 20th century.” For this episode, I tried to stick to the dates and the facts that we knew about him/his criminal life. In part 2, We will delve more into our thoughts regarding his crimes and behavior. So, join us tomorrow for Part 2 - where Brittany (from Where the Weird Things Are Podcast and I will do a deep dive discussion about the case, the people involved, our thoughts regarding nature vs nurture, and much more.

Peter Stubbe/Stumpf (Part 1)
Part 1 is typically filled with information about the person of interest; such as where they were born, to whom, and what they were named by their parents. However, with this particular individual; we may not be able to cover all of those bases. But, we will do our best with the information that we have. I mean, this dude hasn’t been around since basically the 200s after all. And most of the information that IS known about him, comes from a 16-page pamphlet published in London in 1590; and rediscovered in 1920, by none other than an occultist. Which; we will come back to later. For now, I will tell you that he was called many different things. Some of his aliases were: Peter Stumpp (S-T-U-M-P-P), Peter Stube (S-T-U-B-E), Peeter Stubbe (with 2 Bs), Peter Stumpff (S-T-U-M-P-F), and some sources even referred to him as William Stumpf, Abal Griswold, Abil Griswold, and Ubel Griswold. ALthough there were many names for him and sources seem to use them interchangeably; one aspect remained the same across all sources. His moniker was “The Werewolf of Bedburg”. Too many names…and too many unknowns already; I know. But keep listening, this gets interesting. ------ For this episode, I tried to stick to the dates and the facts that we knew about him/his criminal life. In part 2, We will delve more into our thoughts regarding his crimes and behavior.

This is Part 2 of the Albert DeSalvo case. For this episode, I have Brittany joining me to discuss our thoughts on the case as a whole as well as what we think is at play here. Was it nature? Nurture? A combination? Why? We talked lot about HOW someone would have been able to gain access to each of the victim’s homes without a struggle. As if they knew the perpetrator or trusted them for some reason. But the victimology still doesn’t add up for us. At least not if it was one killer.

Albert Henry DeSalvo (Part 1)
Born on September 3, 1931 in Chelsea, Massachusetts to parents Frank and Charlotte DeSalvo; Albert Henry DeSalvo who eventually confessed to being the “Boston Strangler”. From 1962 to 1964; the Boston Strangler was an American rapist and serial killer who was linked to 13 murders of women in the Boston, Massachusetts area. In 1967, DeSalvo was imprisoned for life for a series of rapes…his murder confession though, has been disputed and there remains debate around which crimes he did or not commit. But we will get more into that, later in this episode. For this episode, I tried to stick to the dates and the facts that we knew about him/his criminal life. I even went a little bit into Part 2 territory in discussing alternate suspects, but I thought it was an important detail.

The killer couple’s deadly road trip, which generated enormous media attention and a massive manhunt, came to an end the following day, when Starkweather and Fugate were arrested near Douglas, Wyoming. The crimes later inspired a slew of books, movies and music, including Terence Malick’s 1973 film “Badlands,” starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek, and Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 song “Nebraska.” ------------ For this episode, I stuck to the dates and the facts that we knew about them and their criminal life.

Bloody Bender's Clan (Part 1)
We’ve talked about another clan…Sawney Beane’s clan. That massive 48-incestuous member family of human hunting, flesh eating, cannibal killers. But that family was located off the Galloway coast in Scotland. And, if you’ve listened to part 2 of that - then you know our feelings about that family. So, we will move on. On to another clan. One that originated in the USofA. This family is known as America’s first family of Serial Killers. Again, not one of Brittany’s favorite topics…but I’m gonna reel her in on this one, I promise! Their story begins much like all the other families of that time period. We’re at a time in US history when the Homestead Act of 1862 just went into effect. October of 1870 - five families move to this Osage area and settle around 7 miles from where the city of Cherryvale would be established later on, in 1880. One of these families was, yup, you guessed it, the Benders. A family of 4; Ma, Pa, Jr. and Kate. And they moved onto a 160 acre property facing the Osage Trail. They ended up using canvas to spit their ONE ROOM cabin into two rooms. The back room remained as a sort of living quarters for the family. The front section, however, was converted into a general store, kitchen, and dining area where those who were passing through could grab a warm meal, some dry goods to take with them along their travels, or a good night’s rest. This was known as Bender Inn. But they definitely wouldn’t receive 5 stars on Yelp, that’s for sure. To earn money…and apparently thrills…Sr. and Ma ran this crude ramshackle killer hotel of sorts, with their Jr. and Kate. Fun! A family affair! Now, although the number isn’t quite as high as the Beane clan’s numbers; there were still more than a dozen travelers who never made it out of that hotel. ---- Check back tomorrow for Part 2! Sources will be up on the website soon.

What is true about this? Anything? How did this story come about? What are your thoughts? If any of it is true...was it nature? Nurture? Or narcissism?? ------ Join us for the conversation!

Sawney Beane's Clan (Part 1)
“According to legend, Sawney Beane was a fifteenth-century Scottish peasant who grew fed up with farming and turned to highway robbery. With his hard-bitten common law wife, he holed up in a seaside cavern on the Galloway coast and sired a large brood of children. Eventually, through incestuous mating, the family swelled to forty-eight members, who subsisted by preying on unwary travelers, devouring their flesh, and pickling the leftover meat in seawater” (Schechter & Everitt, p.54). The number of victims remains unknown, but estimates are close to 1,000 people who have fallen prey to this vicious clan. Locals were ill-prepared for the truth when they assumed people were being eaten by a pack of wolves, or some supernatural creature…only to find that it was a family who had been hunting, killing, and eating the lost/disappeared. But how did they find out? Well, let’s go into the story a bit more and learn how this family was captured. Or IF they were captured… ------ For this episode, I gathered as many agreed upon facts as I could, to relay the story. However, are those agreed upon facts actually facts? Or fable? You decide. Join us tomorrow for Part 2 - where Brittany (from Where the Weird Things Are Podcast ) and I will do a deep dive discussion about the case, the people involved, the holes that have been poked in this story throughout history, our thoughts regarding nature vs nurture, and much more.

Ed Gein Case (Part 2)
This is Part 2 of the Ed Gein case. For this episode, I have Brittany joining me to discuss our thoughts on the case as a whole as well as what we think is at play here. Was it nature? Nurture? A combination? Why? Since there wasn't a lot of extra/new information about Gein, that we could include in this part...we discussed several things. We started the episode off by back-tracking to last week's episode and discussing a bit about Chikatilo's execution. Then we moved into a bit of dark humor surrounding Heather's mother's death...sometimes, it's the only way to cope when you're having a hard time around the holidays. Getting more into the meat and potatoes of Gein's case though; we touched base on the "recipe for a killer" and discussed how people rationalize why people kill. We discussed some myths about Ed Gein and how we feel about those myths. We wanted to round the episode out with some interesting information and what to look forward to in the new year...so, we talked about the origins of the NVN logo art work as well as the movies that we will be reviewing on the main feed and Patreon feed! QUESTION FOR YOU: Do you think Ed Gein killed his brother? Why or why not? REMINDER: Wearing another person's skin is questionable behavior. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
Sat, December 25, 2021
Ed Gein Case (Part 1)
Born on August 27, 1906 in LaCrosse, Wisconsin to parents George and Augusta Gein (who were both natives of Wisconsin); Edward Theodore Gein’s gruesome and unbelievable crimes were the inspiration for many books and horror films. Known as the “Butcher of Plainfield” and “The Plainfield Ghoul”, Gein was known for skinning his victims, robbing graves to obtain body parts, and then crafting household and clothing items out of said body parts. Instead of hitting up the local hobby shop for supplies, Gein opted for a more “scavenger hunt” style of collecting necessary items via local graveyards. Shopping is overrated anyway. Why pay for something, if you can make it yourself…right? Not like the deceased needed their skin…or skulls anymore, right? Sure does seem like this was Gein’s mindset. But I’m jumping ahead. So, let’s go back to the beginning and see if we can determine what made him commit these heinous acts, before his death on July 26, 1984. ------ For this episode, I stuck to the dates and the facts that we knew about him/his criminal life. In part 2, We will delve more into the myths about Gein as well as our thoughts regarding Ed’s crimes, behavior, and some additional facts about the trial itself.

Andrei Chikatilo Case (Part 1)
Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo - known by most as simply Andrei Chikatilo. Moniker? Rostov Ripper. But wait! There’s more! Mr. Chikatilo has at least 7 other aliases. The Red Ripper. The Butcher of Rostov. The Forest Strip Killer. The Mad Beast. The Mistake of Nature. Killer X. And The Shelter Belt Killer. Andrei was born on October 16, 1936, In what is now known as Ukraine. He died on February 14, 1994 in Moscow, Russia at the age of 57. Little bit of an odd coincidence if you ask me. Being born on Sweetest Day and dying on Valentine’s Day…but that may just be my brain and the fact that I have a thing with dates and numbers. Among his list of careers - Andrei had dipped his toes in many career field pools including being a telephone operator and a supply clerk. Andrei was also a former school teacher at one point. Now…he is known as a Soviet serial killer who murdered at least 50 people between 1978 and 1990. ------ For this episode, I stuck to the dates and the facts that we knew about him/his criminal life.

Herman Drenth Case (Part 1)
Born on November 17, 1892, Herman Drenth had many names. Much like all of the Bluebeards we’ve covered thus far. Unlike the others, however, Herman had a different method to his madness. He told authorities that it gave him sexual excitement to hear his victims' screams from within the chamber, at night. He went a step farther than the other Bluebeards we’ve covered, in that he specifically built an area in his home, to torture his victims PRIOR to gaining their wealth and murdering them. Additionally, to make him a bit more sadistic, he didn’t care who he had to kill to get the goods. He went as far as killing his love-interests’ children as well. Which, we HAVE seen on at least one other occasion, but those were collateral damage, if you will. With Herman; it appeared as though this was just an extra level of excitement and pleasure. --- For this episode, I stuck to the dates and the facts that we knew about him/his criminal life. In part 2, I will go over more about the nature vs nurture aspects, what we know about his school life, relationships growing up, careers, how he interacted with other humans as well as animals, MO, victim type, more about his “chamber”, suspected victim count, type of serial killer he was, execution style, and much more. Also in part 2, you will hear Brittany’s thoughts and reactions to this case as well as what’s coming up in the feed for our next category!

Alfred Cline Case (Part 1)
Alfred Leonard Cline. AKA a “Fiendish Philanderer” and “The Buttermilk Bluebeard”. Born in 1889 and; Cline was a predator who married mostly widowed women of status, convinced them to will their possessions over to him, and then coerced them to drink a glass of poisoned buttermilk. But this wasn’t your average glass of high-protein buttermilk that was easily digested as a natural treatment for gastrointestinal ailments. No siree, it was not. This was a staple of Alfred Cline’s cocktails that he would prepare with a little extra UMPH. He would add powerful sedatives to the buttermilk for his lady of choice...who would then ingest it and die shortly thereafter. And although Cline was linked to the deaths of at least 8 eldery people, there was never enough evidence found to implicate him in foul play. But before really delving into WHO Alfred Cline was and where he came from; I want to first tell you about his criminal activity and who his victims were. Then I will go into a bit more detail with what we know about his upbringing, how he got away with his crimes for so long, and what ended up being his downfall. ---------------------------- Special thanks to Courtney of the Cult of Domesticity Podcast for her assistance with the research in this episode!

Albert Fish Case (Part 1)
Hamilton Howard Albert Fish was born on May 19, 1870 in Washington, D.C. to parents Randall and Ellen Fish. By the time Albert was 5 years old, in 1875, his elderly father Randall died of a heart attack at the Sixth Street Station of the Pennsylvania Railroad in Washington, D.C. It was after this that his mother decided to put him in Saint John’s Orphanage. And this. This is when Albert started turning into the person we know him as. His mother was able to obtain a government job in 1880 and removed Albert from the Orphanage. Bringing him back home with her. So, although he was only in the orphanage for about 4 years...these were crucial formative years for his growth and development. Albert Fish is classified as an American sado-masochistic serial killer and cannibal. He was also known as the Gray Man, the Werewolf of Wysteria, and the Brooklyn Vampire. He bragged that he had “children in every state” which put his number at over 100. Now, whether he was referring to the number of murder victims, molestation victims, canabilization or all of the above, we are not sure. It could have been a lie all around. But what we do know is that he was a suspect in at least 5 murders throughout his lifetime. He ended up confessing to 3 of them, and then he confessed to stabbing 2 others. He ended up being put on trial for the murder of Grace Budd...for whom he was convicted and executed via the electric chair. This is Part 1 of the Albert Fish case. In this episode, you will hear about the life and crimes of Albert Fish. And why people are so fascinated with this disgusting case, but even more appalled by this evil monster. Brittany will be back in Part 2 - where we will do a deep dive discussion about the case, the people involved, our thoughts regarding nature vs nurture, and much more. ------------------- Thank you so much to Justin Rimmel of the Mysterious Circumstances Podcast as well as Brittany and Thurlow of the Where the Weird Things Are Podcast for their assistance with the voiceovers in this episode!

Ward Weaver Case (Part 1)
Born on April 6, 1963, Ward Francis Weaver III is now sitting in a prison cell; serving a life sentence for several egregious crimes against Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis in Oregon City, Oregon. In this episode, you will hear about the life and crimes of not only Weaver III, but his family members as well. This is Part 1 of the Ward Weaver case. Ward Weaver IIIs son, was arrested and charged with the murder of a drug dealer in Canby, Oregon on February 17, 2014. He and three others had allegedly robbed and killed the drug dealer on February 16, 2014 - so, luckily they captured him pretty quickly. He was found guilty and given a life sentence. With his grandfather sitting on California's death row, and his father serving 2 life sentences, this makes him the third generation of Weavers to be convicted as murderers. This was a requested case by Slim - who you will hear from in Part 2 - where we will do a deep dive discussion about the case, the people involved, our thoughts regarding nature vs nurture, and much more.

Quick Relaunch Chat
Welcome back to nature vs Narcissism! I know the show has been on hiatus for some time and our listeners haven’t really been told too much. That is all about to change! For the last 2 years, the show has been on again/off again for a number of reasons. At the end of 2019, I became pretty sick for about 3 weeks - and that was on top of several family members passing away (for various reasons - old age, etc.). Then 2020 came and the whole world changed. COVID-19 hit and life as we knew it was different and complicated. We faced lockdowns, mask mandates, sick family members and friends, loved ones dying from a pandemic that we didn’t know how to combat. Everyone was scared. Everyone felt alone. Many were alone. And many more were out of work, struggling to make ends meet and feed their families. Not to mention the mental toll that the pandemic took on all of us - those with mental health issues as well as those who had never experienced any mental health concern. Fast forward a bit and businesses start opening, vaccines are being produced and distributed, people start traveling, and life appears to be back to “normal”. But it wasn’t. It still isn’t. And for me, personally; life became more difficult to navigate. Tons of extra anxiety. Poor communication with friends and loved ones. Then back to work. Thinking it would be easy - take it day by day, and everything will fall back into place. But it didn’t. It still hasn’t. But I am slowly and surely learning how to get back into the swing of things EVEN when the “swing of things” takes me out. I guess what I am trying to say is: life has a way of taking its toll on a person and that’s exactly what happened! But as I said. Things are changing. I have taken some time to rethink and regroup. I did not want to completely get rid of NVN as it is my baby. And when I was recording all the time, the way that I wanted to, covering the cases that intrigued me; I had a blast. I loved interacting with listeners and making friends along the way. So, that’s what I want again! Thanks to Brittany; I am back in the groove and we are going to relaunch NVN on it’s 4th birthday - October 22, 2021!

NVN Relaunch Trailer (2021/2022)
Have you ever wondered who is considered the Ted Bundy of another country? What about the female serial killers of the world? Or the necrophiles of the world? If you're anything like Heather & Brittany, then you're fascinated with the minds of criminals! That thing that makes them tick. Why do they commit such egregious crimes? Why are they so different than us? Is it Nature? Nurture? Or plain 'ol Narcissism? Each week; Heather and Brittany will discuss a topic related to true crime and the psychology of killers. Then they'll break down a case or killer in a 2-parter. Part 1 will be the case details and overview of the facts of the case and/or killer. And Part 2 will be the discussion about the case and/or killer. We're NOT PROFESSIONALS, but we sure do like to give our opinions and share our perspectives on the cases and criminals. So, if you're interested in that kind of thing, then join us on Fridays and Saturdays for the 2-parters and join us on Facebook and/or Patreon for the conversation!

However, once he turned 18 – a legal adult – she was no longer permitted to be in charge of nor a part of his mental healthcare needs.

So, this listener request episode has been a long time coming and was requested by Amy, herself. So, today, we will be discussing Joseph Douglass Ball – aka The Alligator Man. This is an older case – which is a pretty interesting aspect as there wasn’t a lot of coverage at the time. He was classified as a serial killer who was active between 1936 and his suicide in 1938. He is said to have between 5 and 14-20 victims. But, did he?

LR - Samuel Little
In this Listener Request episode, Heather is joined by a returning guest, friend, and podcaster; Brian Olson. Our listener request episode has been a long time coming and has been requested by more people than I can recall. I’ve been pretty hesitant to cover it, in all honesty; because I know of several other podcasters who are in the middle of covering it right now. I just know that they’re going to do such a phenomenal job and my coverage wouldn’t compare unless I devoted 20-25 episodes to it. So, today, we will be discussing Samuel Little. The FBI has described him as the most prolific serial killer. Instead of digging into everything; we’re going to give a general timeline and discuss certain aspects of the case along the way. So, this episode will be more conversational.

LR - Terry Thompson & The Zanesville Zoo (Part 2)
In Part 2 of this listener request episode, Heather is joined AGAIN by BRITTANY (newest Patron of the show)!!! Thank you so much Brittany! Today, we will continue the conversation regarding Terry Thompson and his zoo that once stood at his home in Zanesville, Ohio. In this episode, we go over the timeline of the day of the escape, the following days, and even the months that followed - as well as the law changes that came of this event. Additionally, we learn what happens with the animals that were NOT killed in this tragic event as well as what Mrs. Thompson did after losing her husband and animals. This case is so much larger than what we covered on these 2 episodes AND the Patreon-only episode. So, definitely look into this case for yourself if you want ALL of the details. But, brace yourself...it's a hard one to look up.

Bad Medicine - Interview with the Author: Charlotte Bismuth
In this very special episode; Heather is joined by yet another author! This time, the author is Charlotte Bismuth who is a former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney and she describes her new book: Bad Medicine: Catching New York’s Deadliest Pill Pusher – which hits shelves everywhere, on January 19, 2021 From 2010 to 2014, Bismuth and her team followed a trail of bodies and money to Dr. Stan Li, who was selling prescriptions for controlled substances out of a basement clinic in Flushing, Queens. The case against Dr. Li was unusual. He was particularly callous and displayed ruthless greed in profiting from the opioid epidemic, handing out numbered tickets to the opioid-addicted patients who traveled far to buy his prescriptions. BAD MEDICINE tells the story of the opioid epidemic through the investigation and trial of one doctor, who embodied the callousness and greed of the pharmaceutical companies. It is a call for justice that is particularly relevant as the number of opioid deaths continues to grow. Beth Macy, Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy, Gerald Posner, Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, Patricia McCormick, Nan Goldin, Karen Abbott and others have praised the book: “It will leave you fuming … at the complicity of American regulators and politicians, and the Big Pharma machine that lines their pockets;” “The story will leave readers angry, informed, and most importantly inspired to seek justice and change;” “A gripping read tailor-made for the silver screen.” GET YOUR COPY HERE: Indie Bound: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781982116422 Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Bad-Medicine-Catching-Deadliest-Pusher/dp/1982116420/ref =sr_1_1?qid=1580312889&refinements=p_27%3ACharlotte%20Bismuth&s=books&sr=1-1&text=Charlotte%20Bismuth Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/bad-medicine-charlotte-bismuth/1136270430?ean=9781982116422#/ Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/books/bad-medicine-catching-new-york-s-deadliest-pill-pusher/9781982116422 FedUp Coalition FedUp – coalition of organizations from across the country, founded by parents who have lost their children to overdoses.

LR - The Murder of Hailey Dunn (Part 2)
This is part 2 of our Listener Request episode on the murder of Hailey Dunn. In part 1; we discussed who Hailey was and the timeline of events in this case. In part 2; we will delve into the rumors and details that have come out since her death, things that occurred after she went missing (prior to the discovery of her remains), and what is being done today. For those who don’t know...like myself before researching this case...Hailey Dunn was reported missing from her Colorado, Texas home on December 28, 2010. Her remains were found just 30 miles away from her home...but not until March of 2013! So, 2 years and 3 months later? But yet, relatively close to her home...it’s so tragic... As of today, Hailey's case still remains unsolved. There is a $15000 reward in place for anyone with information that leads to the arrest of Hailey's killer(s).

LR - The Murder of Hailey Dunn (Part 1)
In this Listener Request episode, Heather is joined by a returning guest, Brittany F! And for those of you who are devoted listeners; you’ve already “met Brittany” in one of our Season 2 episodes...where we discussed Christine Falling. That was a 2-parter and was posted February 13, 2020. Christine was a babysitter in Lakeland, Florida who was 17 years old when she started murdering those she was tasked with babysitting. Super cuckoo bananas and very sad case, for sure. Today though, we will be discussing the murder of Hailey Dunn. This is a case that was requested to us by a Patreon supporter; Sal. I know it took a really long time to get to this case but we’re here now!! This case; much like all the other unsolved cases, is really heartbreaking. Heartbreaking for the victim and heartbreaking for the family. They just want answers and they’re still waiting even after over a decade. I think that one of the most disturbing things about this case may be the fact that she was just 13 years old. For those who don’t know...like myself before researching this case...Hailey Dunn was reported missing from her Colorado, Texas home on December 28, 2010. Her remains were found just 30 miles away from her home...but not until March of 2013! So, 2 years and 3 months later? But yet, relatively close to her home...it’s so tragic... As a quick note: the Sheriff that we were discussing (as a sidebar in this episode) is Sheriff Joe Arpaio aka America’s Toughest Sheriff…Tent City. As of today, Hailey's case still remains unsolved. There is a $15000 reward in place for anyone with information that leads to the arrest of Hailey's killer(s).

0410: Alton Coleman & Debra Brown (SEASON FINALE)
In episode 10 of Season 4; OUR SEASON FINALE, Heather discusses the infamous murder duo Alton Coleman and Debra Brown. Coleman and Brown entered into a master-slave relationship with one another and took to the road where they traveled across multiple states, murdering several individuals; including children. On July 17, 1984; Alton Coleman became the 388th fugitive on FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List. Finally, the authorities catch up to and apprehend Alton and Debra on July 20, 1984 in Evanston, Illinois. However, the damage had already been done. This was after 8 murders, 7 rapes, 3 kidnappings, and 14 armed robberies. More than 50 law enforcement officials from Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio met to strategize how the two would be charged for their heinous acts across all 6 states. Since the officials all agreed that they wanted BOTH defendants to face the death penalty, it didn’t take long for them to decide to give Ohio first dibs at prosecuting them. The state of Ohio convicted Coleman and Brown, finding them guilty of the rape and murder of Tonnie Storey in Cincinnati and Marlene Walters in Norwood, but not for the murder of Virginia Temple and Rachelle Temple in Toledo. Coleman and Brown were both sentenced to death and the appeals process began. Coleman's case was sent to the U.S. Supreme Court several times between 1985 and 2002, but his numerous arguments that his conviction and death sentence were unconstitutional failed to sway the justices. Alton Coleman was executed via lethal injection at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, Ohio on April 26, 2002, reciting Psalm 23 from the Bible. His last meal was…well, HUGE. As for Debra Brown…she has not had her last meal. In fact, she will not have a last meal – in the traditional death row way. Her sentence was commuted to life in prison due to mitigating circumstances and her low IQ scores. Brown is serving her sentence without possibility of parole at the Dayton Correctional Institution in Dayton, Ohio.

0409: Ricky Ray Rector
In episode 9 of Season 4; Rachelle discusses the 1981 murder of Arthur Criswell and Officer Robert Martin. Officer Robert Martin was a family friend whom Ricky had known since he was a very young child. Rachelle also discusses the man responsible for their deaths – 31-year-old Ricky Ray Rector. The twist in this case is that when Ricky shot Officer Robert Martin (after turning himself in for Arthur Criswell’s murder), he then turned the gun on himself…shooting himself in the head; which in turn caused brain damage. The issues and questions that this case brings to the table are overwhelming. The way this case unfolds is quite interesting, but also pretty disturbing, to us. But, we’ll let you formulate your own opinion. Ricky Ray Rector was sentenced to death for his actions. He was executed by lethal injection by the state of Arkansas on January 24, 1992. And what does President Bill Clinton have to do with this case? You’ll see… Last meal?

0408: James Edward Smith
In episode 8 of Season 4; Heather discusses the 1983 senseless murder of 44-year-old Larry Don Rohus as well as the man who was responsible for and convicted of this horrible crime – 30-year-old James Edward Smith. Smith was a Hare Krishna follower and labeled himself as a VooDoo/VoDou Priest. This plays a role in some of the confessions that he made as well as his last meal request (super interesting). James Edward Smith was executed by lethal injection in Texas on June 26, 1990. Last meal?? Um. You'll see...

0407: Lawrence Russell Brewer
In episode 7 of Season 4; Rachelle discusses the 1998 atrocious and senseless murder of 49-year-old James Byrd, Jr. as well as the men who were responsible for and convicted of this horrible crime – 31-year-old white supremacist Lawrence Russell Brewer, Shawn Berry, and John King. For this episode though – we are focusing on the ringleader, Lawrence Russell Brewer. We know that this episode is a bit shorter than last week, but we think that is a good thing. It was really hard to stomach this case but Rachelle brought it to the table because it is definitely one that needs to be discussed. The actions of Lawrence and his cohorts were unacceptable and should not and will not be tolerated; as you will see in this episode. Lawrence Russell Brewer was sentenced to death on September 23, 1999 and executed by lethal injection in Texas on September 21, 2011. Last meal?? Ugh. Don’t get us started.

0406: Robert Alton Harris
In episode 6 of Season 4; Heather discusses the 1978 murders of two 16-year-old boys; John Mayeski and Michael Baker…as well as the man who was convicted and executed for their murders - 25-year-old Robert Alton Harris. We think that one of the most disturbing elements of this case is the fact that Harris had no regard for human life and had killed someone just a few years prior to this as well. Harris attempted every way possible, to not be put to death; he was the hero (according to his testimony) after all. However, after much back-and-forth, on April 21, 1992, after roughly 14 years behind bars; Harris was sent to the gas chamber and executed for his crimes. He was the first execution in California in 25 years. How about that last meal??

LR - The Slenderman Stabbing
We are back for another listener request episode! And for those of you who are devoted listeners; you’ve already “met Lily” in our interview episode! Definitely check that episode out - and there will be links in the show notes to find her book - Teen Killers Club. Today though, we will be discussing a case that Lily finds pretty interesting. And honestly, I do as well. I think there are several super disturbing aspects to this case. So, before really delving into the case details...for those who aren’t familiar with the case - here’s a quick summary. This happened in Waukesha, Wisconsin on May 31, 2014. There were three 12-year-old girls who were friends...who were hanging out when two of the girls lured the third girl into the woods, where they stabbed her, 19 times!! This was in an effort to “prove that the fictional character - Slenderman - was real” according to the girls. It was reported that they wanted to become proxies of Slenderman; per the girls. The victim...12-year-old Payton Leutner SURVIVED the attack! She was able to crawl out of the woods, to a nearby road; where a passerby on a bicycle found her. She spent several days in the hospital, recovering from her stab wounds. I thought it was really cool that Lily wanted to add something to the side to spice up this episode! She knew that we were talking about last meals in Season 4...so although neither perpetrator was executed; she has an interesting dish for us... The new music featured in this episode is by one of Heather's high school friends, Andrew aka andre_the_g on BandLab! He creates and mixes his own tracks and they're pretty awesome! You should really check him out on Bandlab: @andre_the_g on BandLab ( https://www.bandlab.com/andre_the_g/chill-a68ccc1f?revId=fa03673b-ce04-eb11-96f5-501ac5b31de6 ) TEEN KILLERS CLUB WILL BE AVAILABLE ON NOVEMBER 10, 2020!

0405: Robert Dale Conklin
In episode 5 of Season 4; Rachelle discusses the 1984 murder and mutilation of 28-year-old George Grant Crooks as well as the man who was convicted AND executed for it; Robert Dale Conklin. This case is pretty messed up (which is really no different than any other case on the show)…so, take this as your warning. Have you heard of Joel Guy? Well; think about that but a bit more in depth. Conklin tried to claim self-defense as well as pointing to the death of Crooks as an accident. However, the jury saw right through that, and on July 12, 2005, after 21 years behind bars; Conklin was executed for his crimes. Was there pre-meditation? How did Conklin act after the death of Crooks? What if the death of Crooks was an accident? And what about that last meal??

Teen Killers Club - Interview with the Author: Lily Sparks
In this very special episode; Heather is joined by yet another author! This time, the author is Lily Sparks and she describes her new book: Teen Killers Club – which hits shelves everywhere, on November 10, 2020! In Lily’s own words: “Teen Killers Club, (Crooked Lane/Penguin Random House) is really is built on the theme Nature vs. Narcissism: it's set in a world where convicted killers have their internet activity run through an algorithm and then are classed from A-F based on criminal potential, Class A being the most deadly. The Class A's who are under 18 are then whisked off to an abandoned summer camp to train as assassins. But our main character, a misfit goth, was framed for the murder of her best friend and is actually innocent. (It’s based on the how the Hare Psychopathy checklist is currently used to determine eligibility for parole or the death penalty in many prisons currently.) So, the book really is centered around this question of, is evil innate or learned and at what point can the tide be turned in someone who is headed down the wrong path.” So, obviously; Heather HAD to interview her…there was no question about it! Some of her reviewers are just as stoked! Here’s what they’re saying: “a wicked sense of humor” –Margot Harrison (author of The Glare) “…sick, twisted, fast-paced fun” –Kendare Blake (NYT bestselling author of Three Dark Crowns) “highly addictive and uncomfortably heartfelt” –Joelle Charbonneau (NYT bestselling author of The Testing) TEEN KILLERS CLUB WILL BE AVAILABLE ON NOVEMBER 10, 2020!

0404: Wanda Jean Allen
In episode 4 of Season 4; Heather discusses the 1981 manslaughter of Dedra Pettus and the 1989 murder of Gloria Jean Leathers - as well as the woman who was convicted AND executed for one of their deaths; Wanda Jean Allen. This case has plenty of mitigating factors and in today’s society; I don’t think that it would have turned out the way that it did. However, on January 11, 2001, the courts didn’t see it that way and Allen – after 12 years on death row; was executed by the State of Oklahoma. There were two dozen family members of Dedra and Gloria, who were in attendance at her execution. But Wanda seemed to be playing games…or at least appeared to be acting “childish” to some who witnessed the execution. Her last meal? Well, I don’t know that I would call that a meal.

In episode 3 of Season 4; our Rachelle discusses the 1984 murders of 35-year-old John Dale Dotson and 32-year-old James Wayne "Jimmy" Porter as well as the man who was convicted AND executed for their murders; Edmund Zagorski. This was a very interesting case; to say the least. Some of the mannerisms and actions of Zagoski were of the most interesting. Was he a mercenary? Was he in fear of his own life? Were these the ONLY serious crimes that he had ever committed? So many questions. Not enough time. And how about that last meal?? EWWWWW.

In episode 2 of Season 4; Heather discusses the 2001 double murders of 21-year-old Ronald Whitehead and 19-year-old Bethena Brosz as well as the man who was convicted AND executed for their murders; Steven Michael Woods, Jr. This is another case that has some twists and turns leading some to believe that Woods didn’t actually commit the murders. However, the courts didn’t see it that way and Woods was executed by the Texas Department of Justice in September of 2011. Although this case has a lot of similarities to the Odell Barnes, Jr. case in episode 1; the last meal was quite different.

But what may be even more interesting than the fact that investigators could determine the age of Helen's lamp...may quite possibly be Odell's choice of a last meal.

LR - The Death of Lana Clarkson
In this listener request episode, Heather is joined by Melissa MORGAN Humphreys (hump-freeeeeze) of the Just the Tip-sters Podcast. FINALLY!! We have been wanting to collaborate for about a year and a half? We will be discussing the murder OR death of Lana Clarkson. Some say murder, while others say death…because of the details and lack of evidence. This is a case that was presented to me back in Season 2 as a listener request and I asked Melissa if she would like to cover it with me. Which, I’m glad she did, because there were so many twists and turns…plus her connection to the case is super interesting! In 2003, actress Lana Clarkson’s body was found in the foyer of record producer Phil Spector’s mansion…or as we like to call it; his Dracula castle. All the way up until about 15-20 minutes into recording, Heather was set on what she thought happened on that fateful morning. However, once she started discussing the case with Melissa…her entire viewpoint and opinion shifted! Throughout this episode, We will also discuss our theories about what may have happened as well as Phil Spector’s professional impact on the music industry.

0312 - Sante Kimes is coming to towwwn
In episode 12 of Season 3; our season FINALE, we will discuss Sante Kimes. Sante Kimes is much easier to say than the mouthful of a name she was born with – Sandra Louise Singhrs. She was born on July 24, 1934 in Oklahoma City, OK. Sante was kind of a badass…but not in the good way; if there is a good way. She was motivated by money and would hurt whomever she had to in order to get what she wanted. Sante was eventually convicted of two murders, robbery, forgery, violation of anti-slavery laws, and much more. Yes, I said violation of anti-slavery laws. So, what’s that mean exactly? We had the same question until Rachelle dug into her case a bit. Sante had a way with men. A way to make them do as she said. This manipulation and perhaps fear that she put into others, is exactly how her son ended up helping her commit crimes…even murder. Yep, mommy and Clyde. As promised: This is Ken Jr's article https://narratively.com/my-mother-taught-me-to-kill/# :~:text=Kenneth%20Kimes%20Jr.%20is%20currently,cautionary%20tale%20to%20help%20others.

LR - The Smiley Face Killers
In this listener request episode, Heather is joined by Jon Towers of the Abracast Podcast. We will be discussing the Smiley Face Killers…or rather, the theory that they exist. This is a case that Jon presented to me back in Season 2 and he has some interesting insights and connections to different locations within the case(s). In 2008, retired New York Police Department detective Kevin Gannon and his team of investigators went public with their theory and have attempted to prove the existence of the Smiley Face Killers. They believe the serial killer gang murders college-aged men and dumps their remains in nearby bodies of water, leaving behind sinister happy face graffiti at the death sites. So, we are going to discuss several of the deaths that have led police to believe in the existence of this sinister gang. We will also discuss our theories about what may have happened to the victims mentioned in this episode. Additionally, we discuss our morbid curiosity with bones (human?)…found in one of our yards! We will be posting these photos on the website as well!

0311 - Oh my darling, Clementine
In episode 11 of Season 3, we will discuss Clementine Barnabet; or should we say, Clementine BarnaBRAT?! This is another older case…so the exact day that Clementine was born on, is unclear. However, we do know that she was born sometime in 1894. Clementine was a serial killer and a cult member…who established the “Church of Sacrifice” with her father. This doesn’t sound scary at all…we’d totally attend every Sunday…NOT! Clementine confessed to 35 murders; 17 of which she committed by herself. That’s pretty messed up on its own. But, what if we told you that she was 15 years old when she started murdering people? Here’s the kicker; she didn’t murder one at a time – she always killed families – families whom she and her father deemed as sinners. This included young children too; as young as 11 months old. This case is kind of like a roller coaster ride; so be sure to keep your hands and feet inside the car at all times. Once the ride is over; you’ll be shocked to see who folks believe Clementine turned out to be… Sponsor: BetterHelp - visit www.betterhelp.com/NVN for 10% off your first month!

LR - Murder at the Back Forty
In this listener request episode, we will be discussing a case that Ashley (from our previous bonus episode - The Serial Killer Cookbook: Interview with author Ashley Lecker) presented to me a few months back. We will be talking about the Back 40 Murder of Margaret Anderson. Which was a VERY VERY brutal crime. This is your warning now…if you can’t stomach brutal details; maybe skip this episode. It actually made Heather a bit uneasy to discuss. But, if you’re a trooper and you want to listen to this episode, minus the awful details; then you can start skipping forward at 33 minutes and come back after 39 minutes and 15 seconds. This is a case that resonated with Ashley as she lives in Green Bay, WI and has been in the area her entire life. Ashley even went to the location and grabbed photos of the scenes as they look today (you will be able to find them on the social media pages and the website).

0310 - Damn it, Diane!
In episode 10 of Season 3, we will discuss Diane Odell. Born on 1953; who, is responsible for the death of four babies…her own babies. Her case is referred to as “The Babies in Boxes Murder Case”. From that tag alone; I’m sure you can determine where her babies were found. But, do you know how long they were there? Diane ended up giving birth to a total of twelve babies…eight of which were given the chance to grow into functioning members of society. The four babies who weren’t so lucky were carried around in boxes from home to home and from state to state over the course of at least 10 years. She would have kept this up had she not defaulted on her storage rent. The storage unit was sold off and the buyer found the babies in the boxes. But why these three babies? Why did three babies die and eight babies live? In this episode, you’ll find out what Diane told the courts about the demise of her children. Diane was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison, in 2004.

0309 - Come on, Charlene
In episode 9 of Season 3, we will discuss Charlene Adelle Gallego. Born on October 10, 1956; who, with the direction and assistance of her husband, abducted, raped, and murdered at least 10 victims. Together, the duo was known as the “sex slave killers” or the “love slave killers”. According to Charlene, her husband experienced impotence and brought forth the idea that the two could lure young women and keep them captive as their sex slaves. Apparently, she didn’t know he planned to kill them as well. But, that didn’t deter her from still helping him after the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth victims. She would lure the girls from busy malls, fairs, and even the side of the highway. Sometimes with the promise of marijuana. Once in the vehicle, her husband would force the victims in at gun point. Charlene would drive whilst her husband brutally raped the victims…sometimes for hours at a time. Once he was done with them; Charlene would pull into a deserted area off the roadway/in the woods. Her husband would exit the vehicle – with the victims – kill them, and then dump or bury their bodies in a shallow grave. This is definitely something that one should see the death penalty for…or at the very least, spend the rest of their life in prison for; right? Not in this case.

0308 - Daaaaamn Dorothea, Back at it again with the Old Men
In episode 8 of Season 3, we will discuss Dorothea Puente…meanie grannie. Born in Redlands, California in 1929; Dorothea’s childhood was way less then ideal. By the time she was 9 years old; both her mother and her father had passed away (father from tuberculosis and mother from cancer). But that wasn’t the sad part. Her mother and father were super abusive to her. Dorothea’s formative years were scathed by abuse and torture. At some point during her adolescence, she even stayed in an orphanage for a while; where she was sexually abused. By the time Dorothea was 16, she was grown…and married her first husband. Over the next several years; she became pregnant three times. She gave one child to relatives, another – she put up for adoption, and the third was a miscarriage. By 1948; her husband had left her. Shortly thereafter, Dorothea faces her first bout of criminal trouble. She was caught and sentenced to 1 year for forging checks but was paroled after just 6 months. Dorothea then became pregnant AGAIN, by someone whom she barely even knew; and gave her daughter up for adoption, AGAIN! 1952 rolls around and she marries someone whom she stays with for 14 tumultuous years. After this is when shit gets real. Dorothea was driven for money…and did what she had to in order to get that bread. This includes old men, a boarding house, and government checks… After at least 9, but possibly 15 victims – Dorothea died in a California prison on March 27, 2011.

0307 - Tillie Vanilli
In episode 7 of Season 3, we will discuss Tillie Klimek. She was a Polish-American serial killer operating in the Ukrainian village of Chicago; better known as Chicago’s Little Poland Neighborhood. Tillie was born in 1876 and died of a heart attack sitting in prison on November 20, 1936. She had at least 5 victims…possibly more. She would poison them with arsenic found in a product called “Rough on Rats”. Most serial killers operate solo; yes? Not Tillie. She was someone who seemed to really think she was above all. She was eventually referred to as “The High Priestess of the Bluebeard Clique” in the Little Poland neighborhood by the media. There were several other wives arrested for suspicion of murder of their husbands too. However, they were eventually released. One thing that makes this story even more odd; is the fact that she claimed to have precognitive dreams about her victim’s deaths. These dreams would tell her when they were going to die… Check out our website: https://www.naturevsnarcissism.com to find sources, merch, and much more!

0306 - Salad with Blanche on the side
In episode 6 of Season 3, we will discuss Blanche Taylor Moore. She is an American murderer and suspected serial killer. Blanche was born in 1933 and is currently sitting on death row, awaiting execution in a North Carolina prison. She was convicted of the 1986 arsenic poisoning of her boyfriend, BUT she is suspected of also killing her mother-in-law and her first husband, as well as the attempted murder of her second husband in 1989. As with many convicted murderers & serial killers; Blanche had a very rough upbringing. Her father was an abusive alcoholic who would pimp her out to pay his gambling debts. When she was old enough to start her own relationships/get married, she found men with the same qualities as her father. Another thing that we often see with serial killers. Throughout the proceedings, Blanche was adamant about not killing anyone & never using arsenic poison…even though there were 53 witnesses stating otherwise. She was convicted on November 14, 1990…the jury recommended the death penalty just three days later. Then on January 18, 1991; the judge agreed with the jury’s recommendation and sentenced Blanche Taylor Moore to die by lethal injection. It has been 29 years and Blanche has avoided death…still sitting in the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women.

0305 - Scissor me timbers
In episode 5 of Season 3, we will discuss Lizzie Halliday - an Irish-American serial killer. She was born in Ireland in 1859 but moved to the United States when she was still a young child. She married her first husband in 1879 and then sent her young son to an institution after her husband died. She moved on rather quickly though…running through and tossing out husbands as if they were expired produce. In the mid-1880’s, after her attempt to kill another husband went awry, she fled to Vermont and married someone new. However, that only lasted a couple of weeks before she fled again. In the late 1880’s, she ended up in Philadelphia, where she committed arson and fraud…landing her in the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia for 2 years. Upon her release, she immediately married again…but this will be the last time. She murdered her friend, her friend’s daughter, her stepson, her husband, and a peddler. These murders landed her in jail AND with a sentence of death. This would have made her the first woman in history, executed by the electric chair – BUT things change. She ended up serving her time in a mental institution with a life sentence as she was declared criminally insane. Lizzie committed one final murder before her death in 1918…and it was quite disturbing… Sponsor: BetterHelp - visit www.betterhelp.com/NVN for 10% off your first month!

0304 - Big Booty Judy
In episode 4 of Season 3, we will discuss Judy Buenoano - an American serial killer. She had a very terrible upbringing...BUT as we've stated plenty of times in the past, that doesn't give you the right to kill people. She apparently didn't get the memo on this though, because Judy was executed in 1971 for the murder of her son, one of her husbands, and attempted murder of another one of her husbands. For these crimes, she received a 12-year-sentence for the attempted murder of one husband, a life sentence for her son's death, and a death sentence for another husband. On top of these CONFIRMED cases, there were several others who mysteriously became ill and died while under her care/married to her. She ALSO faced several charges of insurance fraud and suspected on several counts of arson (for insurance purposes). What we've learned with this case is to NOT take out life insurance on yourself. Oh! And...change your name every time you kill someone... Check out our website: https://www.naturevsnarcissism.com to find sources, merch, and much more!

0303 - Sack of Dick
In episode 3 of Season 3, we will discuss one of the most sensationalized criminal events in Canadian history. Evelyn Dick (aka The Torso Killer) was a stunningly beautiful woman who basically grew up in a society where her looks would get her whatever she wanted. Even in the end, there was something about her that kept her from really serving time for her crimes. At the age of 24/25, she murdered and mutilated her husband...leaving only his torso on "The Mountain" (at Niagara Falls). What investigators discovered in her home though; was just as disturbing. She ended up not serving time for her estranged husband's death AND only 11 years for manslaughter of her second victim. So, who was the second victim? And what happened to her once she was paroled? IF alive today, she is 99 years old. Check out our website: https://www.naturevsnarcissism.com to find sources, merch, and much more!

0302 - Waneta job
This is the second episode of SEASON 3 - where we'll be discussing FEMALE KILLERS! Waneta Ethel Hoyt was an American serial killer who was convicted of killing ALL 5 of her biological children. Her children kept dying from what doctors suspected to be SIDS. However, in 1985, there was a prosecutor who was working on a murder case and was advised by a forensic pathologist that there may in fact be a serial killer in his area. The forensic pathologist suspected this AFTER reading a report on SIDS and the Hoyt family (although their names were redacted). The prosecutor became the District Attorney in 1992 and tracked down the Hoyt's even without their names being disclosed in the report. This DA was the reason that Waneta was caught. In 1995, she was sentenced to 75 years in prison...15 years per child. However, she didn't end up serving her full sentence...but why?

LR - The Murder of Dana Marie Ireland
This is our FINAL listener request episode for Season 2. After this episode, we will be changing up the format and there will be announcements in the upcoming weeks! If we've already planned episodes with you; don't fret, it will still happen...just in a different way. A way that YOU, the listeners, would like. For this listener request episode, Heather is joined by Hawaii native and podcaster; Breaker! We will delve into the very complicated and tragic death of 23-year-old Dana Marie Ireland. Dana died shortly after midnight on Christmas morning in 1991. After shopping with her mother and her older sister, she decided to take a bike ride to a friend's house to see if he would like to join them for Christmas dinner. This was only about 8 miles away; something that she was quite used to biking. However, as the hours passed, and the friend hadn't seen her; he reached out to the family. They hadn't seen nor heard from her either. That is when all of their lives changed forever. There were so many factors that added up and created the perfect storm for Dana. A storm that would lead to her death. But who is responsible?? Subscribe to: The Darker Side: True Crime

LR - The Mysterious Death of Kenneka Jenkins
This will be one of the last two Listener Request episodes of Season 2. We are changing the format of the show for Season 3 AND have completely stopped the ongoing Season 2. This was a strategic decision made based off of the listener comments and feedback. We want to make the show FOR YOU; so, we are listening to what you want! Kenneka Jenkins was a 19-year-old who had attended a party at a Chicago hotel on a Friday evening in September of 2017. She was there with several of her friends and planned on leaving the hotel shortly before 3am. She waited by the elevator for her friends to come back with her phone and keys. However, when her friends returned...she was gone. Hours had gone by, police were notified, her mother was notified, and she still hadn't been located. You'll even hear the 911 call that her mother placed to the police. It wasn't until Sunday at around 12:48am when Kenneka Jenkins' body was discovered, frozen solid, in the hotel freezer. Her death was ruled accidental...but so many of the pieces don't fit. Join Heather and Rachel as we delve into the mysterious death of Kenneka Jenkins.

(S2) Oakland, California (Tommy Lynn Sells)
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. This will be our FINAL episode of Season 2. We know that we haven't finished the alphabet but there are some changes coming to the format, based on what the listeners want. More to come in the following days/announcements on this. In this episode, Heather is joined by Roseanne from the Killafornia Dreaming podcast to discuss Tommy Lynn Sells. Tommy was born in Oakland, California on June 28, 1964 and was a serial killer who was known to rape his victims. He gave himself the moniker of Coast to Coast Killer as he murdered his victims from states all over the nation. Although he only had a handful of confirmed victims, he claimed to have killed 70 people. One of the most disturbing aspects about this case, and really about Tommy himself, is that he didn't have a type as far as his victims. He killed men, women, and children. His murders spanned from 1980 until 1999 and he was apprehended in January of 2000. He was sentenced to death on November 8, 2000 and died of lethal injection on April 3, 2014 at a Texas prison.

We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. *As with pretty much ALL of our episodes, this is not suitable for children. We discuss VERY adult content throughout the episode. * In episode 29 of season 2, Heather is joined by Dick from the Being There and Off the Cuffs Podcasts. We discuss Steven Zelich; who is a former law enforcement officer who was convicted and imprisoned for the murders of 19-year-old Jenny Gamez and 37-year-old Laura Simonson. Both of whom were found deceased and inside of suitcases on the side of the highway. Steven was given the moniker “The Suitcase Murderer”. He attempted to claim that the deaths of these two women were accidents. Accidents that occurred during consensual kinky sex. Dick sheds some light on the kink community and how Zelich’s claim really doesn’t add up.

LR - The Murder of Dr. Teresa Sievers
For this listener request episode, Heather is joined by Paul from the Varmints Podcast. Paul requested this case as he lives in Bonita Springs, FL; very close to where this murder occurred. Dr. Teresa Sievers was a very successful and well-known holistic medicine physician practicing in Bonita Springs, FL. She and her husband Mark Sievers owned and operated their own practice called Restorative Health and Healing Center. On June 28, 2015, Teresa had just returned home early from a family vacation as she had patients to see on that following Monday. No sooner than she walked into the door of her home, was she brutally murdered by not one, but two intruders. But were they there to burglarize her home and she spooked them? Or was it something more nefarious? In this episode, you’ll learn about this horribly tragic case from someone who lives in the neighborhood. You’ll also hear all about the twists and turns that this case has. Just when you think you have a solid alibi; the police swoop in and prove you wrong.

To his victims; all of whom were from a vulnerable population as they were runaways, drug addicts, and sex workers - he was known as "Steve the Gambler". Bloodlust. That's what he called the actions he took when causing harm to and eventually killing his victims due to the excruciating headache pain that he experienced. He indicated that causing the blood to come out of his victims was the only way to remedy his own pain. He was sentenced to death on June 9, 1989 and re-sentenced on March 8, 2006.

LR - Sexton Parent Murders (Part 2)
In this listener request episode, Heather is joined again by Kimberly - who is a SUPER listener and Patreon supporter! She has requested a case from her small hometown in Oregon. This case stood out to her as it was all over the media at the time as nothing like that had happened in her town before. This is Part 2, so if you haven't done so already - please listen to part 1 first. We already know what the first and second officers observed at the home (blood, shell casings, sheetrock on the floor, an earring, and some meaty substance. But where were the parents? If they were dead, then who would have committed the murders, the cops would wonder. All along though, they had the suspects in their sight...at a traffic stop at 1am. By 5:30am, units were all over the home to search for the bodies and begin their investigation...their double homicide investigation.

HAPPY Valentine's Day!! In this listener request episode, Heather is joined by Kimberly - who is a SUPER listener and Patreon supporter! She has requested a case from her small hometown in Oregon. This case stood out to her as it was all over the media at the time as nothing like that had happened in her town before. ALSO - Brian was in her elementary school class...AND asked her out on Valentine's Day! Did she take him up on the offer? When she first reached out to me about it, I had never heard about it - which is crazy considering the details surrounding the case. Two juveniles (17-year-old Michael Ryan Sexton & 13-year-old Brian Adam Sexton) were arrested for the murder of their parents and the disposal of their bodies. Luckily though, they were terrible at covering up their crimes AND getting away. They were apprehended hours after committing the murders. But how were they caught? What did the police find?

(S2) Lakeland, Florida (Christine Falling: Part 2)
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. In episode 27 of season 2, Heather is joined by Brittany F. who is a fellow Cincinnati-an and SOON-to-be podcast host! She has been on multiple podcasts before Nature vs Narcissism and is currently working on creating her own! Be sure to follow @TrashLikeUs on Twitter for updates! In this 2-part episode, we discuss a female serial killer from Florida. Have you ever had a babysitter? The main job of a babysitter is to keep the child alive, no? Well, apparently that was the opposite of what this lady thought. Christine Laverne Falling was just 17 years old when she started murdering children. These children were all under her care when they died and red flags weren't really raised. Why not? Also, why did she kill innocent children? Christine killed between the years of 1980 and 1982, until she was arrested. She was found guilty of three murders on December 3, 1982 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for at least twenty five years. She ended up confessing to more than 3 murders though...and one of them wasn't a child.

She has been on multiple podcasts before Nature vs Narcissism and is currently working on creating her own! Be sure to follow @TrashLikeUs on Twitter for updates! In this 2-part episode, we discuss a female serial killer from Florida. Have you ever had a babysitter? The main job of a babysitter is to keep the child alive, no? Well, apparently that was the opposite of what this lady thought. Christine Laverne Falling was just 17 years old when she started murdering children. These children were all under her care when they died and red flags weren't really raised. Why not? Also, why did she kill innocent children? Christine killed between the years of 1980 and 1982, until she was arrested. She was found guilty of three murders on December 3, 1982 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for at least twenty five years. She ended up confessing to more than 3 murders though...and one of them wasn't a child.

LR - Odessa, TX (Michael Eugene Sharp)
In this listener request episode, Heather is joined by Julie Ortega from the Women Behind the Veil Podcast to discuss a serial killer from Odessa, Texas. Our listener, Sal from Texas has requested this case and I'm glad that we now know about this sicko! Michael Eugene Sharp was classified as a murderer who kidnapped and raped his victims first. He had at least 2 confirmed victims but suspected of more. At the age of 28, he killed a mother (31-year-old Brenda Kay Broadway) and her 8-year-old daughter (Christy Elms). He kidnapped Brenda's 14-year-old daughter as well, but she was able to escape; which led to his arrest just 5 days later. Michael was executed by lethal injection in Texas on November 19, 1997 (at 43 years old) and 14-year-old Selena Elms attended his execution.

LR - #JusticeForAlissa (Part 2)
The last day that Alissa Marie Turney was seen by anyone was on the last day of school on May 17, 2001. There were several things about Michael’s actions this day that stood out to both Scott Fuller and myself when we originally took on Alissa’s case for Status Pending. Since covering her case on Status Pending, Scott and I have had the chance to really get to know Sarah and we’ve become very close friends with her. Additionally, along the way, we’ve come to know and learn so much more about Alissa’s case than I ever imagined. Not only from talking to Sarah on a regular basis, but from Sarah creating her own podcast and sharing the story with hundreds of thousands more people! Sarah is doing some pretty amazing things for Alissa’s case and I feel like a proud momma watching her dedication, determination, persistence, love, and hard work pay off! In this listener request episode, Heather sits down with Sarah Turney to talk about her sister's case.

*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. January 8, 1987 - 33 years ago today; a 28-year-old woman by the name of Jeanne Durkin lost her life.

(S2) Kalamazoo, MI (Danny & Larry Ranes)
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. FIRST OFF; HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY TO BRITTANY!!! I love you so much, lady! I am so happy to have you in my life and so lucky to have met you when I did! Thank you so much for all of your research and help on this episode! ----- In this episode, Heather is joined by the awesome Brittany to discuss two brothers who ended up becoming serial killers...BUT at different times in their lives. During their childhood years, the brothers were pretty close to one another. Later in life (I believe while in jail) Danny was quoted saying that Larry was quote "the only companion I had most of my life." The events began in 1964 when 19-year-old Larry killed his first victim. He ended up confessing to five murders in total...but tried for just one. He then received a second trial but turned it down and decided to go with his original sentence of life in prison. Danny, on the other hand, made headlines during Larry's retrial when he was charged with a string of murders in 1973. There were many differences between their victims, their MOs, and potentially their reasons for killing. The Ranes brothers are not discussed nearly enough in the true crime world.

(S2) Kingstree, South Carolina (William Junior Pierce)
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. In May 1970, William "Junior" Pierce was paroled from the Georgia state prison at Reidsville, despite a report from staff psychiatrists contending that he "may be dangerous to himself and others." The parole board chose to ignore that report, and Pierce claimed his first victim a month later, killing at least nine persons before his arrest, on March 8, 1971. Heather is joined by Bad in the Boondocks Podcast for another South Carolina killer!

(S2) Indianapolis, Indiana (Pt2: Howard Arthur Allen)
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. In this episode, Part 2 of the Indianapolis, Indiana episodes, Heather is joined by Justin from Mysterious Circumstances to discuss Howard Arthur Allen. He was born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1949 and is currently sitting in prison, serving his sentence. He was originally sentenced to death on June 11, 1988 but that sentence was later commuted to life in prison. He murdered at least three elderly women (Opal Cooper, 85 / Laverne Hale, 87 / Ernestine Griffin, 73), severely beat another woman, and committed arson on an elderly man’s home. All of his crimes had an underlying factor of burglary. Police suspect that there may be as many as 11 more victims…but have been unable to prove that. This episode is filled with speculation as there isn’t a lot known about his childhood. Additionally, this episode contains touchy subject matter (the death penalty debate) and a glimpse into several other Indiana crimes as well as issues within the justice system in Indiana.

(S2) Indianapolis, indiana (Pt1: Herbert Baumeister)
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. In this episode, Heather is joined by Danielle from Hoosier Homicide to discuss Herbert Baumeister. He was born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1947 and died after a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in 1996. He was on the run from police who were searching his 18-acre farm for bodies of his victims – of which they found at least 11. Now, it is debated as to whether or not he killed more than 11 and to this day, he is not technically considered a confirmed serial killer as police were never able to prove it AND he killed himself before being apprehended. His victim type was young homosexual men whom he would pick up from gay bars and take to his mansion where he would have sex with them (often using auto erotic asphyxiation to pleasure himself) and then (presumably) kill and dispose of their bodies.

(S2) Honolulu, Hawaii (Honolulu Strangler)
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. The Hololulu Strangler is responsible for the murders of 5 women between 1985 and 1986. He has yet to be caught. All victims were found with their hands bound behind their backs sexually assaulted, strangled, but they varied in age and background (17-36 years old). His victims were Vicki Gail Purdy (25), Regina Sakamoto (17), Denise Hughes (21), Louise Medeiros (25), and Linda Pesce (36). Police thought for sure that they had their guy, but circumstantial evidence wasn't enough to hold him. This suspect ended up moving to California and died in 2005. None of these cases have ever been solved AND after some more digging/investigating for the production of a true crime show last year; there may have been at least one more victim from 1982. Additionally, the police may have had their killer, had DNA testing been an option in 1986.

*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. Today - October 3, 2019 is #JusticeForDJDay. As many of you may already know; I (Heather) co-host another podcast called Status Pending with Scott Fuller. DJ was the inspiration behind the entire podcast Status: Pending. DJ's case has had such an impact on me that I want to spend my 30th birthday today, spreading the word about DJ; will you help me? ________________ On October 3, 2016, a gun went off and a 911 call was made. Responding officers find DJ shot in the face. He’s deceased. Witnesses claim someone else in the home - a one-time romantic interest of his wife Brandy’s - shot and killed DJ. Some say accidentally, some say intentionally. Members of DJ’s family can’t believe that DJ would kill himself, and some sheriff’s detectives don’t buy the suicide. But the state’s crime lab and a medical examiner disagree. And so nobody has ever been charged with the death of Donald Edward Fickey, Jr. Since we released the case on Status: Pending, Amanda (DJ's sister) has been tirelessly working to ensure that the GBI looks into her brother's case. She has reached out to tons of podcasters as well as YouTubers and even folks with the Investigation Discovery Channel to share her brother's story. ____________ You can sign the petition to help bring this case in front of a grand jury! This is an important step to get Justice for DJ! You can visit change.org and search for “help support justice for dj…” and the petition will populate. Your signature can help! As of today, there are 23,080 of the 25,000 goal: https://www.change.org/p/help-us-in-getting-justice-for-dj-and-his-3-babies-justicefordj (petition). You can also visit Amanda’s Facebook page called “Justice for DJ” Or reach out to her on Twitter: @JusticeForDj88 Amanda has also set up a website where you can find all of the information about DJ’s case: https://justicefordj.com/ Change your page orange for #JusticeForDJDay - Visit the Status Pending or Nature vs Narcissism Facebook page for the photos to use (or you can create your own).

*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. **Small disclaimer - I tried to make a water sound in the intro...didn’t work out the best - oops! Oh well, it’s only a few seconds long!** In this episode, Heather is joined again by the one and only Scott Fuller to discuss a serial killer from the Green River, Washington area. This is a killer that Heather has NEVER looked up until now. Not too sure why, other than the fact that she felt as though he was way overdone in the True Crime genre and perhaps not too fascinating. However, Scott has a way of providing information and details that will pull someone in and that’s exactly what he did here! Gary Leon Ridgway was born on February 18, 1949 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He is responsible for at least 49 murders of teenage runaways and female sex workers from 1982 until 2001 – most of these murders occurring between 1982 and 1984 though. Gary aka “The Green River Killer” has confessed to at least 71 murders but said that there very well could be more but he lost count. He is currently sitting in a cell at the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla and serving 48 life sentences plus 480 years.

Needless to say, it’s been an ever-present and lingering title for a future episode. Scott has jumped in and interviewed Heather about Nature vs Narcissism in this episode; LIVE (okay, kind of…)! Heather was NOT prepared for the way this episode happened and had NO CLUE what Scott was about to ask. Anyone who knows Heather, knows that she is very uncomfortable without a plan BUT she did pretty well…PLUS it was a blast! This is a really fun episode, with TONS of shout outs!

Leonard Christopher was apprehended for the murder of 46-year-old Carol Dowd in 1990 and police pegged him as the slasher. However, they were unable to confirm that he was indeed the slasher as he was behind bars when another victim was killed. Another man who was questioned in the cases, disappeared later. That man AND Christopher Leonard have both since passed away. Now, in 2019, city investigators are looking at new DNA evidence.

*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. In this episode, Heather and Rachelle discuss another female serial killer! Her nickname was La Luchadora...which means “the fighter”. Why, you ask? Well, in Mexico, professional wrestling is a popular form of entertainment. But it’s a bit different than one might expect by the name...in Mexico, professional wrestling aka Lucha Libre has a certain sense of pageantry. Luchadores (aka wrestlers), often wear colorful masks as they perform different acrobatic leaps off the ropes to grapple with their opponents. But Juana Barraza had a more sinister side to her. She lived somewhat of a double life. Her day consisted of working as a popcorn vendor and sometimes a luchadora at a wrestling venue in Mexico City. She was described as being stocky and strong. Barraza took to the ring as The Lady of Silence as she competed in the amateur circuit. By night, she was a completely different person - known as Mataviejitas, or “little old lady killer.” She may have killed up to 50 woman who were all over the age of 60! She is serving a sentence of 759 years in a Mexican prison…where she is actually living a decent life; to hear her tell it!

In this episode, Heather and Rachelle travel to Dakota Country/Dakota Territory, WY; way back in 1868, to discuss a woman who may or may not have been the murderer of at least 22 men. This case is different from previous episodes as we aren’t 100% sure whether or not the details are based on factual information. Even though we found a decent amount of information, there is debate about the accuracy of the events. If true though, this B**** was manipulative and had her daddy wrapped so far around her finger that he worked with her in robbing and disposing of the bodies.

He beat them, starved them, wouldn’t allow them to leave the house, and even raped them on a regular basis. One of his victims suffered at least 5 abortions at his hands while another was forced to have his baby. Michelle Knight was 21 when he abducted her in 2002, Amanda Berry was 16 when he abducted her in 2003, and Georgina DeJesus was just 14 when he abducted her in 2004.

He was reaching for a tennis racket that was located behind the seat in the back of his van when the seat collapsed, folding shut on the teen as he dialed 911 for help. This story is so tragic because it seems as though he did everything in his power to get help to no avail. He was discovered dead 6 hours later, in his vehicle, in the parking lot of his school. There was one positive outcome from this horrible tragedy though; check out www.kyleplushanswerthecall.org to see what the family is doing in his honor to create a safer community.

(S1) Black Dahlia: Part 1 (with Augie Peterson)
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 1. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. In this special collaboration episode, Heather teams up with Augie Peterson from the Short Stories of Augie Peterson podcast! In part 1; you will hear about the case of Elizabeth Short, aka the "Black Dahlia". This is found on the Nature vs Narcissism feed - well, would you look at that...you're already here! In part 2; you will hear about the movie adaptation of the case...which apparently had nothing to do with the actual life and murder of Elizabeth Short. In enough words...this movie was absolutely terrible and Augie has the review to back that up! So, if you need a nice pallet cleanser after hearing about the absolute brutality of this case, then head on over to the Short Stories of Augie Peterson feed! Nicknamed "the Black Dahlia," Elizabeth Short was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 29, 1924. Twenty-two years later, Short, an aspiring actress, was brutally murdered in Los Angeles, California, her body cut in half and severely mutilated. Her body was found on January 15, 1947, in a vacant lot near Leimert Park. The Black Dahlia's killer was never found, making her murder one of the oldest cold case files in L.A. to date, as well as the city's most famous.

(S1) Your Brain on Murder (Neal Falls, Sex Workers, Dismemberment & Subway Bags)
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 1. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. When Heather Saul opened her Charleston, WV door to greet the stranger she’d agreed to meet through an escort ad she had placed, she knew instantly she was in mortal danger. The man said just three words – “Live or die” – then held a gun to her stomach. The man grabbed Saul by the throat and dragged her around the house, until in a rush of pure adrenaline and an effort for self-preservation, she was able to get control of his gun and shot once, killing him. In this special collaboration episode, Heather sits down with Moxie from the Your Brain on Facts podcast to discuss serial killer Neal Falls. Heather was an escort and Falls’ next intended victim. That is, until she killed him instead…potentially saving dozens more. Falls is believed to have killed across 8 states and traveled with his kill kit in his car. He would dismember the bodies and dump them in rivers as well as on the side of the highway.

(S1) Broadcast Podcast (Current Crime Stories & Past Experiences)
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 1. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. This episode is filled with shenanigans as dad and Ashley return for more crime & more stories. We recorded in the dining room as per the usual but we didn't wear headphones. At times, we couldn't tell how loud we were, so I tried adjusting and taking out the table bumps. After about halfway through, dad realized the error of his ways and backed away from the table. That didn't stop him, however, from texting during the entire "broadcast" - so you'll hear his phone in the background. We talk about everything from dad's experience at the police department, to our childhoods, to current crimes in the news, to theories about cases and crimes. This was a fun episode with a ton of shout outs! Dad wants to come back for future episodes but would like questions or case suggestions...so, send them in!Shout outs:Based on a True CrimeGetting OffOff The CuffsThe Brothers CommonplaceStatus: PendingPromo:Trace Evidence Support us & get cool stuff!https://www.patreon.com/NVNpodcastFind us on all the things:@naturevsnarcissism (Instagram)@NvsNpodcast (Twitter)@naturevsnarcissism (Facebook)Nature vs Narcissism Facebook Discussion GroupBUY COOL SHIT:https://naturevsnarcissism.threadless.com/

(S1) Zebra Murders
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 1. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. In the FINAL letter episode of Season 1, Heather and Rachelle discuss the Zebra Murders aka The Zebra Killings. The best way to describe them is via a direct quote that we found here: https://blog.sfgate.com/crime/2013/03/13/zebra-killer-denied-parole/ . The Zebra Killings were “execution-style shootings that killed 14 people and wounded eight others between October 1973 and April 1974, mostly at night along the city’s Divisadero Street corridor. The gunmen were African American and the victims were mostly white. The killings got the Zebra label from police use of a special radio band, the Z channel, in their investigation.” (pulled quote from *PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS (like most others) A GRUESOME CASE WHICH INVOLVES TRIGGER WARNINGS* Although we are wrapping up Season 1, that doesn’t mean that we are done! We will have several guests appearing on the show between Season 1 and Season 2. Season 2 will still be alphabetical BUT we will be covering killers (not necessarily serial killers) from everywhere. We will choose them based on where they’re from. For instance, the Zebra Killings took place in San Fransisco, California so we would cover them for our “S” episode. If YOU have a suggestion, send it to us! We want to cover lesser known killers this season!

(S1) Unidentified Killers (with Megan)
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 1. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. In this episode, Heather and Megan discuss Unidentified Killers. Most people know of the famous, or shall I say infamous, serial killers. However, there are some serial killers whose identity baffles even the best of detectives…yes, I mean YOU; armchair detectives! Heather and Megan thought that it would be fun to discuss a couple of them in this episode. Heather covers the Moonlight Murders, committed by the Phantom Killer whilst Megan covers the Doodler. Yes, you read that right…the Doodler! Join us for a relaxed yet Murder-y episode brought to you by the Murder.ly Network: Podcasts to Die For!

*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 1. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. HEATHER IS FANGIRLING!!! In this episode, Heather invites Nick and Jessa from the Getting Off Podcast to discuss everyone’s eye candy serial killer; aka the Lady Killer, Ted Bundy. Although the Nature vs Narcissism Podcast has covered Ted Bundy in the past (Episode 2), we thought it would be fun to discuss Ted with folks who understand and are a part of the criminal justice system. Since Nick and Jessa are defense attorneys, we thought it would be fun to do a crossover episode where they break down the Chi Omega trial and share their expert opinions as well as their personal thoughts on the case as a whole! We have a blast and learn a lot about Jessa’s ‘wayward youth’, as Nick describes it! This episode was a blast and I learned a lot in Part 2; which is over on the Getting Off feed. You will probably learn a lot and may have even acquitted him if you knew what we now know about the case and evidence!! Be sure to check out Frozen Truth as a new season will be airing on June 24th!

(S1) Robert Ben Rhoades & Dennis Rader
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 1. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. In this episode, Rachelle covers Robert Ben Rhoades (aka the Truck Stop Killer) and Heather covers Dennis Rader (aka the BTK Killer). Robert Ben Rhoades would pick up hitchhikers along the highways to torture and kill them. Whenever the females were with a male companion, Rhoades would shoot and kill the male immediately, whilst tying up the female in the cab of his semi-truck; which he converted into a traveling torture chamber. Rhoades called himself "Whips & Chains" and often kept his female victims for weeks at a time. He would rape and torture them until he decided he was done playing with them. Rhoades ended up killing at least 3 but possibly 50 victims in the span of 15 years. He is 72 years old and resides in the Menard Correctional Institution; where he has been since 1990 and will remain until death. Dennis Rader is a different kind of species but shares many qualities with Rhoades. Dennis was also born in 1945 and went years without being apprehended. However, unlike Rhoades, Rader had a family and to many he seemed like the perfect family man. He was President of the Christ Lutheran Church and a Cub Scout leader. Rader, like Rhoades, had a kit/box of tools in which he used to torture and kill his victims. Rader called this his hot box and stated that he killed because of his Factor X deep within that compelled him to live out his fantasies...".

(S1) Paul Michael Stephani & Philip Markoff
*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 1. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. In this episode, Heather covers Paul Michael Stephani (aka the Weepy-Voiced Killer) and Rachelle covers Philip Markoff (aka the Craigslist Killer). Paul had a tendency to call the cops on himself after killing his victims. He had so much guilt and remorse that he would call, while crying/weeping, to inform the police that he had killed his victim and he didn't know why/couldn't stop. His track record was terrible as two of his five victims survived (good for them), but that is what eventually led to his capture. As for Philip, he was the epitomy of every parent's dream child. He was in sports, clubs, and attending med school. He was engaged and already planned the wedding with his fiance. Everything seemed to be nothing short of perfect. That is until, he and his fiance were on their way to the casino one day when they were pulled over and Philip was taken into custody. For what, you ask? Luring women from Craigslist ads to hotel rooms where he would rob and kill them. Don't forget to send us your questions for our Q&A episode!!!

*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 1. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved. For our Christmas MURDERsode, Rachelle stopped by and we discussed three cases of murder that occurred on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

The second case we discuss is the Lawson Family Massacre which occurred on a North Carolina farm in 1929. The father shot and killed his wife and 6 of his seven children on Christmas Day, before taking his own life. The final murder case we discuss is the Covina Massacre which took place in Covina, California in 2008. An ex-husband of one of the Ortega family members decided to dress as Santa Claus and shoot up the family Christmas party, before setting the house ablaze and taking his own life.Follow us on Twitter @NvsNpodcastFollow us on Instagram @naturevsnarcissism Like us on Facebook Nature vs Narcissism
