UNSOLVED: The Galapagos Affair 2
2d ago00:54:16Summary readyBy the spring of 1934, the small colony of European settlers on the Galapagos island of Floreana was tearing itself apart. A relentless drought had withered the crops, the self-proclaimed Baroness was abusing her companions, and the tiny island had become a pressure cooker of resentment, jealousy, and fear. Then people started to vanish. The Baroness and one of her lovers disappeared overnight, and the story given by the remaining settlers didn't match what the others claimed to have heard that day. Months later, two more bodies turned up mummified on a barren island they had no business being on, and a strict vegetarian doctor was suddenly dead from a few bites of spoiled chicken. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy is joined by Daisy Eagan, host of Strange and Unexplained, to follow the chain of deaths and disappearances that destroyed the Floreana colony, the wildly conflicting accounts the survivors took to their graves, and one of the strangest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

SummaryUNSOLVED: The Galapagos Affair 1
4d ago00:42:59Summary readyIn 1929, a German doctor named Friedrich Ritter and his partner, Dore Strauch, sailed to the uninhabited island of Floreana in the Galapagos to escape what they believed was the worst of human nature. For two years, they had the place to themselves. Then, drawn by Friedrich's articles in the European press, other settlers began to follow. A practical German family arrived in 1932, then a self-styled Austrian Baroness with two younger lovers, who declared the island her personal kingdom and announced plans for a luxury hotel. Within months, the tiny colony was buckling under jealousy, accusations, and the kind of grudges that have nowhere to go on an island just a few miles wide. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy is joined by Daisy Eagan, host of Strange and Unexplained, to trace the rise of the so-called paradise, the strange settlers who built it, and the slow unraveling that would soon turn the Enchanted Islands into one of the strangest unsolved cases of the 20th century.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

SummaryMYSTERY: JonBenét Ramsey
1w ago00:51:30Summary readyOn the morning of December 26th, 1996, 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenét Ramsey was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her family's home in Boulder, Colorado. A long, strange ransom note had been left on the back stairs, written on paper from inside the house. What followed was one of the most chaotic investigations in modern American history. The crime scene was contaminated within hours, the press declared the family guilty before anyone was charged, and detectives clashed bitterly with prosecutors over who to focus on. Nearly three decades later, no one has ever been convicted of killing JonBenét. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy revisits one of the most polarizing unsolved cases in American history, the investigative missteps that haunted it from day one, and the question that still divides the public: was JonBenét killed by an intruder, or by someone she knew?Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

SummaryUNSOLVED: The Murder of Marilyn Sheppard 2
1w ago00:47:32Summary readyIn Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the investigation, trial, and decades-long legal battle that came to define the murder of Marilyn Sheppard. Within days of her death, the Cleveland press had turned her husband into a public villain, with newspapers openly calling for his arrest and conviction before any charges were filed. The trial that followed was a spectacle, and when the verdict came down, almost no one was surprised. But that was only the beginning. What followed was years of appeals, a Supreme Court decision that would reshape how American courts handle media influence, and a second trial that left the country more divided than ever. More than seventy years later, the question of who really killed Marilyn Sheppard has never been fully answered.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

The case would soon become a national obsession and reportedly serve as the loose inspiration for the hit television series The Fugitive.

2w ago00:51:50Summary readyOn the night of October 30th, 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley was beaten to death with a golf club in the wealthy Connecticut town of Greenwich.On the night of October 30th, 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley was beaten to death with a golf club in the wealthy Connecticut town of Greenwich. Her body was found the next morning under a pine tree in her own yard, the broken club nearby traced back to a set owned by her neighbors, the Skakels, a family related by marriage to the Kennedys. Despite the obvious lead, the case went cold for decades. Witnesses changed their stories, evidence was lost, and the family at the center of the investigation continued to live their lives. It took 25 years, a true crime book, and a tenacious investigator to finally bring charges. Even then, the conviction that followed would eventually be overturned, leaving the case in legal limbo. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy revisits one of the most notorious cold cases in American history, the wealth and influence that shielded a family from scrutiny, and the question that still divides Greenwich today: who really killed Martha Moxley?Head over to our Murder True Crime Stories YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@MurderTrueCrimeStoriesIf you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

In 1926, 19-year-old Gordon Stewart Northcott convinced his parents to buy him three acres of barren land outside Los Angeles. He told them he was going to raise chickens. What he really wanted was a place far from the city where no one would hear what he did to the boys he brought there. Over the next few years, Northcott lured young victims to the property with the help of his teenage nephew, who he had taken from Canada under the guise of teaching him the family trade. Behind the chicken coops, he built one of the most disturbing crime scenes in California history. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces Northcott's path from a deeply troubled childhood in a household ruled by his mother's obsession and his father's silence to the desolate stretch of desert where his violence would soon spiral out of control.

SummaryMYSTERY: The Tylenol Murders
3w ago00:49:24Summary readyIn the fall of 1982, seven people in the Chicago area died after taking Tylenol capsules that had been laced with cyanide. The victims ranged from a 12-year-old girl to a young mother who had just given birth. None of them knew each other, and none of them had any idea what was in the bottles sitting in their medicine cabinets. The killings triggered a nationwide panic, transformed how every over-the-counter medication is packaged, and gave rise to the term "product tampering" as a federal crime. But more than four decades later, no one has ever been charged with the murders. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy revisits one of the most chilling unsolved cases in American history, the suspects who came and went over the years, and the question that still haunts investigators: who walked into those stores, and why did they choose Tylenol?Head over to our Murder True Crime Stories YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@MurderTrueCrimeStoriesIf you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!
