Ep49 - Covina Massacre

On the night of December 24th, 2008, a large family Christmas party was winding down. It had been another successful holiday party for the Ortega family, but shortly after 11:30 pm a man approached the residence. Once the door was opened, he forced himself in and started opening fire.

During the chaos, a call was placed to 911 that identified the shooter as the ex husband of one of the family members. Shortly after that, the house went up in flames and Pardo fled. By the end of the attack, 9 people would be dead at the hands of someone they knew. Bruce Jeffery Pardo had recently divorced his wife Sylvia and the house he attacked belonged to his ex in-laws.

By the time law enforcement tracked Pardo down, he was dead. He had killed himself shortly after the attack, but evidence showed suicide wasn’t his original plan.

Despite the divorce, anyone who knew the couple was taken aback by Pardo’s actions. Nothing about Pardo’s past suggested that he would commit such an atrocious crime, but it quickly became clear that he had been planning the attack for some time.

This week, we will go through the crime, the victims, and the man responsible. Personally, I find this case so disturbing because many of the warning signs you could look for were not there.

Ep48 - Henry Louis Wallace

This week we will be discussing Henry Louis Wallace. Wallace is a serial killer who operated in Charlotte, North Carolina in the early 1990s. This is another case, where we see how crimes are treated different across racial lines.

Wallace’s victims were African American. He killed in the area for nearly 2 years before he was caught, but police weren’t actively pursuing a serial killer until 3 days before Wallace was arrested.

This week, we will talk about who Henry Louis Wallace is, and more importantly, who his victims were, and how he was able to evade capture for 22 months.

Ep47 - Kevin Cooper

This week we are discussing Kevin Cooper, an African American man who was convicted in a quadruple homicide of a white family in Chino Hills, California in 1983. Kevin Cooper was found guilty and sentenced to death for the horrific crime. After his conviction, many questions were raised about his involvement.

On death row since the 80’s, many people have spoken out on behalf of Kevin and their belief in his innocence. This week we will discuss the crime that put him in prison, the evidence that put him there, and what evidence is disputed.

Is Kevin Cooper guilty? Or is the state of California keeping an innocent man on death row? The one thing we know for sure about this case, is there aren’t many clear cut answers.

No matter what side of the issue you find yourself on, this case is extremely controversial and raises questions about the death penalty in the United States.

Ep46 - Claudia Brenner & Rebecca Wight

In May of 1988, Rebecca Wight and Claudia Brenner were spending a romantic weekend camping and hiking along the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania’s Michaux State Forest.  After an encounter with a stranger when Rebecca used an outhouse at their first campsite, they decided to hike further down the trail for more privacy.

During their hike to their second location, they encountered the same man, this time with a gun casually laid across his shoulders; they didn't assume too much other than he was a drifter or hunter and everyone went their own way.

After finding a nice secluded hollow, four miles from the closest road, they setup camp and thinking they were alone, they started to be intimate.  Without warning, Claudia and Rebecca would find themselves under fire.  Eight shots range out, and in a few moments, Claudia would have been shot five times and Rebecca twice.  

Unable to walk, Rebecca told Claudia to keep the pressure on her wounds and go get help.  Claudia hiked four miles to the nearest road and found a ride to the local police station. 

Rebecca died that night in the forest, Claudia survived and Stephen Roy Carr, who shot the two women because “he was enraged by the sight of two women having sex” and that the “two women taunted him by having sex in front of him” was caught in 10 days.

Tonight we will take you through Rebecca and Claudia’s story and how Claudia devoted herself to fighting anti-gay bias and became and advocate for the advancement of anti-hate legislation.

Ep45 - Regina and Margaret DeFrancisco

Regina and Margaret DeFrancisco are two sisters who made headlines when they were just teenagers in the summer of 2000. Regina’s boyfriend, Oscar Velazquez was found dead in a vacant lot, shot, wrapped in a tarp, and set on fire. The crime scene was gruesome and the act seemed personal.

Law enforcement narrowed down on the two sisters as prime suspects. From the first round of questioning, police were suspicious of the two. Their alibis didn’t match up and they were nervous. Police let them go, but before they could be arrested for murder, the two girls had fled.

For the next two years the two girls would evade capture. It wasn’t until the story of Oscar’s murder was aired on Unsolved Mysteries and America’s Most Wanted was there a break in the case.

This week we will discuss the circumstances around Oscar’s murder, what led to the sisters’ captures, and what could have possibly motivated them to commit such a heinous crime.

Ep44 - Rosa Delgado and Rosita Camacho

This week we will be discussing the disappearance of 21-year-old Rosa Delgado and her 4 year old daughter Rosita Camacho from Hartford, Connecticut in late October 1997. A month later, hunters would discover a woman’s body floating in a late in New Jersey that was missing her head and hands.

Although homicide was the obvious cause of death, authorities were unable to identify the woman for almost two years. In 1999, DNA tests proved that the ‘lady in the lake’, as she had been dubbed by local news outlets, was actually Rosa Delgado. 

Although Rosa’s family was finally able to bring her home, they were left with more questions than answers. Who did this to Rosa? Why? And, most importantly, where was Rosita.

This week we will be discussing the circumstances surrounding Rosa and Rosita’s disappearance, the prime suspect, and what could have happened to Rosita.

Spoiler alert, we get pretty fired up.

Weepy Voiced Killer 911/Confession Audio

For those having audio issues hearing the 911 calls and the confession audio, see below:

You can hear the 911 Calls after the murders, you can go here, go to the following timestamps (in order of how they are used in the episode):  1:10, 1:00, 0:00 (beginning), 0:32. 

For Paul's 911 call when he was hurt, go here and to time stamp 15:06.

For Paul's confession audio, to here and then to time stamp 22:27 and you can play the next few minutes to here him talk about Karen and Kimberly (among others).

Unfortunately, we cannot replicate the issue here, all devices we checked are playing the audio as normal.  Only thing we can think of is it's an issue with some players, apple and otherwise.  Only a few people seem to have this issue but just the same, we want everyone to be able to hear the entire story.

We apologize to those affected we have contacted apple to see if there is a resolution to the issue. We will hopefully hear from them soon.

Thank you!

~Colleen & Eileen

Ep42 - Jacob Ryan Evans

Jacob Ryan Evans was 17 years old when he shot is mother and younger sister dead in their home in an affluent Texas suburb. Those who knew the family and knew the teen were shocked at the events. These actions didn’t fit in with the Jacob they thought they knew.

Today we will go through what we know about the crime, however this case is just another example of how sometimes there’s no making sense of the motive.

Ep41 - The Humboldt Missing Five

Since 1993, there have been 5 girls who have vanished, seemingly into thin air, never to be seen again. Over the years, they have been grouped together and referred to as the Humboldt Missing Five. Some say the cases could be related, but others think that the only thing they have in common is they have gone missing.

This week we will discuss who they are, the circumstances that are known about their disappearance, and what about this region makes it so easy for someone to disappear and not be found.

Ep40 - The Survival of Christy Salters

Christy Salters was a gifted athlete from a young age.  After entering a Tough Woman Contest, which is an amateur boxing match, she knew that’s what she wanted to do. 

Finding a trainer to take a woman in a male dominated sport in the 1990’s was a challenge and only toughest and most skilled would even get a glance by a trainer; Christy got that glance and got herself a seasoned trainer.  She ended up earning the Women’s Light Middle Weight Champ of the World title and married her trainer, Jim Martin.

Christy had a secret though, a secret that, according to her husband, would kill her career; and also according to her husband, if she acted on her desires or left him, he would let the world know her secret and then kill her, and he did try.

Tonight we take you through the harrowing survival of this gifted athlete who put women’s boxing on the map; tonight we take you through The Survival of Christy Salters.

Ep39 - Junko Furuta

On November 25th, 1988, seventeen-year-old Junko Furuta, was walking after school.  She was kidnapped by four boys and held captive for 44 days.  In those 44 days, Junko would endure unthinkable brutal torture before she was killed.  Sadly, there were a few people, other than the four abductors, who knew that Junko was in that house being tortured, yet she remained because they did not go to the authorities. 

Her case would later be named the “concrete encased high school girl murder case” due to the state that her body was recovered in.

PLEASE NOTE: This episode is more graphic than our normal episodes; we decided we needed to share some of what was done to Junko in detail, so you can understand the brutality as well as get the full picture of the killers.  We give warning before we talk aobut those details.

Ep38 - James Dale Ritchie

A special THANK YOU to Lanie of True Crime Fan Club for joining us in this special crossover episode!!

Anchorage saw an increase in homicides in 2016. Late that summer, a terrifying pattern seemed to be emerging. People were being shot to death in pairs on the bike trails that wind through the city and police were left with very little evidence to go on. Some victims seemed to know each other and others didn’t. All were victims of opportunity.

Colleen first heard about this case in late 2016. Articles began popping up asking if there was an unidentified serial killer operating in Anchorage. Police were quick to dismiss the speculation, but the death toll continued to rise.

All of that came to an end that November when a chance encounter between a pedestrian and a police officer turned deadly. Soon police would match a gun at the scene to 5 previously unsolved murders from that year. The person responsible was dead, but Anchorage was left with more questions than answers.

Ep37 - Linda Carty

In May 2001 armed intruders broke into an apartment in Texas. What seemed like a robbery for drugs and money, quickly took a dark turn when a woman and her three day old son were kidnapped from the apartment. The next morning, the baby would be found unharmed, but the woman would be found murdered.

Quickly, the investigation unfolded and it appeared that the robbery was a cover orchestrated by a woman named Linda Carty who had told her husband that she was pregnant with his baby. A quick trial ended in a capital murder conviction and the case was closed.

Is it really that simple though? Or is there more to the story? Was Linda so desperate for a child that she planned a kidnapping and murder? Or was she framed by people from her past?

This week we will be discussing Linda Carty and the crime that landed her on death row.

Ep36 - Katherine Knight (The Black Knight)

Katherine Knight certainly earned the nickname, The Black Knight.

The crime she committed was so brutal that she is the first woman to be sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole in Australia and details of this case are gruesome and disturbing, but pertinent to the case itself. We will give a warning before these details are discussed in the podcast.

Ep35 - Andrew Kehoe (Bath School Bombing) (Patreon Reward)

We have the privilege of doing another Patreon Reward Episode.  If you donate monthly at the $25 level, you get to choose the topic and we will research and produce an episode on it.  Tiffany picked the Bath School Bombing, or also called the Bath School Disaster or the Bath School Massacre.

The Bath School Massacre was a series of vicious bombings carried out by Andrew Kehoe on May 18th, 1927, the 90th anniversary was this past May, as a matter of fact.  This is still the deadliest act of school violence in the history of the US and by the time Andrew finished with his mass murdering plot, he and 44 other people, including 38 children and his wife, would be dead and another 58 seriously injured.

Tonight we will take you through why and how this school board treasurer, angered by increased taxes, was able to bring such destruction and violence to Bath Township, Michigan.

Ep34 - The Disappearance of Kevin Collins

On the evening of February 10th, 1984, 10-year-old Kevin Collins was on his way home from basketball practice. Witnesses reported seeing him waiting for the bus at around 6:30 pm, talking to a tall man. Kevin never made it home that night and since that night in February, has never been seen again.

The early and mid-80s marked an increase in interest of missing children, particularly children who were victims of stranger abductions. Adam Walsh had been kidnapped a couple of years earlier and a movie about his kidnapping and murder was released shortly before Kevin’s disappearance. Kevin’s picture went nationwide and was circulated on billboards, milk cartons, and magazine covers.

His case was used as an example of how parents could better protect their children from stranger abductions and police used this case to learn how to better address missing children reports to increase their chances of recovery.

Despite the widespread attention, few leads came in regarding Kevin. Months turned to years and eventually his family accepted that he was probably not coming back. So who took Kevin? And what happened to him? This week we are going to discuss Kevin’s disappearance and what has transpired in the three decades since he has been missing.

Velma Barfield was an American serial killer living in North Carolina. She had a rough upbringing and escaped her situation by marrying young. The marriage was overall a happy one, until an operation led to a behavioral change in Velma.

The once happy couple turned bitter and argued constantly. This went on for years and one day Velma and the kids left the house and returned later to find their house burned and Velma’s husband dead.

That would be the first of multiple suspicious deaths that Velma was connected to. There would be 4 more before someone placed an anonymous tip to the police.

After the investigation was completed, questions still remained. Who was Velma? What made her decide to kill people? And are there even answers to these questions?

Ep32 - The Murder of Elizabeth Short (Patreon Reward)

On patreon if you donate at the $25 dollar a month level you get to choose whatever true crime topic you would like and we will cover it on an episode.

This is our first Patreon donor episode! Jozett has been a donor from very early on in the podcast, so we are excited that we get to research and bring you this content.  Jozett wanted us to cover the murder of Elizabeth Short, who is more commonly known as the Black Dahlia.

On the morning of January 15th, 1947 a woman was walking home with her young daughter in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.  As the woman walked by an empty lot in a residential neighborhood, she was taken aback by what she thought was a broken mannequin lying the grass. Upon closer look, she realized that the mannequin lying in the grass was actually the body of a young woman.

The face had obvious signs of trauma, noticeably deep cuts on the sides of her mouth. Her body had been completely cut in half and drained of blood.  The case immediately became highly publicized and has remained so as it went from an open murder investigation to a Los Angeles urban legend. Even though there was a long list of potential suspects, the case has never been solved.

We’re going to take you through what we know about Elizabeth Short, how she became the Black Dahlia, and the suspects in the case.

Ep31 - The Murder of Tanya Tarasoff

Nichole joins us again and takes us through the murder of Tanya Tarasoff; Tanya was being stalked by an acquaintance she knew from UC Berkeley. At the time, there weren't many laws or protections in place for victims of stalking. This case ends in tragedy but set in motion the creation of the duty to protect rule that mandates mental health professionals to warn potential victims that a patient has made threats against them.

Ep30 - The Wrongful Conviction of Dusty Turner

Dusty Turner has been incarcerated for over 20 years for the 1995 murder of a woman named Jennifer Evans.  At the time, Dusty had just completed his Navy SEAL tactical training in Virginia. He was out at a bar with some friends in Virginia Beach, including his roommate and swim buddy, Billy Brown.

Due to a combination of false testimony and investigator error Dusty was sentenced to 82 years in prison for charges of first degree murder and abduction.

Tonight we discuss how a good kid from a good family, who was well on his way to becoming one of the youngest Navy SEALS to graduate from training ended up sentenced to prison for over 80 years.

We had the opportunity to talk to some of the people involved in trying to get justice for Dusty including JD, who created the documentary about Dusty’s case, Lisa, who runs the social media and website to bring awareness to his case and Linda, Dusty’s mother, who takes us through this ordeal.

Below are all the phone number, and social media links we mentioned in the show; all you need to learn and help Dusty is below:
