The Satanic Ritual Murder of Mark Kilroy
Apr 2801:20:58Tap to summarizeIn March 1989, 21 year old pre-med student Mark Kilroy disappeared during a spring break trip to Matamoros, Mexico after being separated from his friends for just a few minutes.But what initially operated as a standard missing person case quickly escalated into an international investigation involving U.S. and Mexican authorities. As the search intensified, it led to the discovery of a place called Rancho Santa Elena, which was a remote property tied to drug trafficking and ritual practices. It was a place where at least 15 bodies would eventually be recovered, all of which were victims of ritual sacrafice. What started as one disappearance ultimately exposed a pattern of violence that extended far beyond Mark, revealing a case far more disturbing than anyone had expected.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/
Transcribe →Dorothea Puente - The Death House Landlady
Apr 2401:14:04Tap to summarizeShe looked like a harmless little old lady. She was a soft spoken landlady in Sacramento who took in elderly, disabled, and mentally ill tenants who had nowhere else to go. But inside her home, she controlled their money, intercepted their mail, and in many cases, they quietly disappeared while their Social Security checks continued to be cashed. Then when a missing person report led police to dig in her backyard in November 1988, they uncovered multiple bodies buried just beneath the surface. What followed was an investigation that revealed a calculated system of control, exploitation, and death that had gone unnoticed for years.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/
Transcribe →The Strange Death of Mike Mansholt - A Body Without Organs
Apr 2101:00:42Tap to summarizeIn July 2016, 17 year old Mike Mansholt arrived in Malta for a solo trip after deciding to extend his stay beyond an initial visit with his girlfriend. Over the following days, he explored the island independently, keeping in contact with his family as he moved from place to place. Then on the morning of July 18, he left his hotel, rented a mountain bike, and sent a final message home describing the steep roads ahead. After that, there was no further contact, and by July 22, when he failed to board his flight home, concern turned into a missing person case. When he was eventually found days later, the circumstances surrounding his death would raise more questions than answers, as his organs were reported missing and his official death was a fall, even though there wasnt a single broken bone in his body.

Transcribe →Killer Twins - The Spahalski Brothers - Part 2
Apr 1700:50:28Tap to summarizeIn 1971, 16 year old Stephen Spahalski killed a man in Elmira, New York and was sent to prison, in a case that seemed shocking but contained. But nearly two decades later, in Rochester, a different story was quietly unfolding. Between 1990 and 2005, four people would be murdered in separate incidents, each one investigated on its own, each one going unsolved, and none of them connected at the time. For years, the truth remained buried in those cases, until a confession in 2005 finally brought everything together, revealing that the killer was Stephen’s twin brother, Robert, and that the story of the Spahalski brothers was far from over.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/

Transcribe →The Gorilla Killer - Earle Nelson - Part 2
Apr 1000:48:19Tap to summarizeStarting in 1926, women renting out rooms began turning up dead in cities across the United States and into Canada. In each case, the circumstances were nearly identical, the victim had let someone into her home, and the encounter ended in violence. At the time, there was no system in place to connect cases across jurisdictions, so each investigation stayed local. Police followed leads within their own cities, unaware that similar scenes were unfolding elsewhere. It would take time before anyone realized these weren’t isolated incidents, but part of a pattern moving from place to place.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/

Transcribe →Kouri Richins - Grief Author Found Guilty of Murder
Apr 301:03:21Tap to summarizeAbout a year after her husband’s sudden death, a Utah woman published a children’s book about grief, hoping to help her three sons cope with the sudden loss of their father. But behind that story was a very different reality, one investigators had already begun uncovering. Her husband, Eric Richins, had been found dead in their bed in March 2022, and an autopsy later revealed he had five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system.What initially appeared to be a sudden medical emergency quickly turned into a homicide investigation, with evidence of poisoning pointing back to the person telling the story.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/

Mar 3101:03:42Tap to summarizeOn May 24, 2019, 50 year old Jennifer Dulos dropped her five children off at school in New Canaan, Connecticut, and returned home, then seemingly vanished within a two hour window. Inside her garage, investigators would later find significant blood evidence, while her abandoned vehicle turned up nearby in Waveny Park. What came next was a complex investigation involving surveillance footage, recovered discarded evidence, and a timeline that pointed directly toward her estranged husband and those close to him. Years later, with arrests made, convictions secured, and one key suspect dead, one critical piece is still missing, Jennifer herself.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/
