As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a friendship that had quietly fallen apart and evidence suggesting the attack had been building beneath the surface for days. What began as a shocking murder inside an elementary school would soon become one of the most infamous juvenile crime cases in Japanese history, raising difficult questions about childhood, bullying, and internet culture, while ultimately giving rise to the disturbing online phenomenon known as Nevada-tan.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/

1w ago01:16:48Tap to summarizeIn March 1998, a respected Brisbane veterinarian was found brutally murdered inside the veterinary clinic beneath her home, launching an investigation that would expose bitter feuds within an animal welfare organization, a mysterious appointment involving a missing Siamese cat, and a trail of forensic evidence unlike anything Australian courts had seen before. As detectives worked to identify Kathleen Marshall's killer, the case slowly evolved from a shocking homicide into a landmark criminal investigation that would make legal history. Yet, more than two decades later, questions surrounding the murder, the evidence, and the man ultimately convicted continue to spark debate among investigators, scientists, and true crime researchers.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/

2w ago00:57:51Tap to summarizeIn April 2009, a young woman named Julissa Brisman was found bleeding in the doorway of a luxury Boston hotel room after a violent struggle with a client she met through Craigslist. Just four days earlier, another woman had been tied up and robbed inside a nearby hotel by a man matching the exact same description. As investigators raced to stop what appeared to be an escalating pattern of violence, they uncovered a trail of burner phones, fake identities, hotel surveillance footage, and anonymous online messages that eventually led them to an unlikely suspect. It was a clean cut medical student named Philip Markoff who was secretly living a double life while planning his upcoming wedding.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/

4w ago01:06:15Tap to summarizeIn June 1998, eight year old Robbie Middleton was attacked in the woods behind his Texas neighborhood,. He was then doused in gasoline, and set on fire in what investigators would later describe as one of the most horrifying attacks they had ever seen. Burned over nearly 99 percent of his body, Robbie somehow survived and spent the next thirteen years enduring more than 150 surgeries while the person accused of attacking him remained free. Then just before his death in 2011, Robbie gave a final videotaped statement identifying the person who was responsible and revealed information that changed the entire direction of the case. What followed was a legal battle involving a record breaking civil verdict, a reopened homicide investigation, and a murder trial nearly seventeen years after the fire itself.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/

May 801:03:37Tap to summarizeSeven year old Athena Strand disappeared from outside her family’s home in Paradise, Texas on November 30, 2022, only minutes after a FedEx driver delivered a package containing her Christmas present. Within hours, investigators uncovered a disturbing trail involving truck recordings, GPS data, conflicting statements, and evidence that suggested Athena had been abducted alive.

Transcribe →The London Chambermaid Slayer - Gerald Thomas Archer
May 501:06:39Tap to summarizeBetween January 1969 and January 1971, three women were murdered inside their own homes across Southwestern Ontario Canada, with their cases unfolding with no clear connection at the time. Each scene pointed to the same kind of controlled, violent attack.However without shared systems or forensic tools, investigators were left working each case in isolation as leads quickly dried up. It would ultimatley take decades, a family confession, and DNA evidence preserved from 1969 to reveal that one man, Gerald Thomas Archer, had been behind all three.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/

May 101:05:57Tap to summarizeOn June 20, 1994, emergency services in Dunedin New Zealand received a call from 22 year old David Bain reporting that his entire family had been shot dead inside their home. Within days, he went from the sole survivor to being charged with five counts of murder, setting off a case built on conflicting timelines, contested forensic evidence, and two completely different explanations of what happened. What unfolded next would become one of New Zealand’s most debated murder cases, one where the truth still feels just out of reach to this day.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/
