    Episode 43 - Walter Leroy Moody Jr.: Explosive Rage
    Feb 15 2026

    Imagine committing a crime and then being so angry at having been convicted that you spend more than 20 years after your release trying to get your conviction overturned. This is Walter Leroy Moody Jr. in a nutshell. When false narratives and unfounded appeals didn’t produce the result he had hoped for, he channeled his anger into murder by sending bombs to innocent people. If he couldn’t have his way, he would direct all his rage at the court responsible for denying his appeals.

  • Episode 42 - Richard Rogers: A Dismemberment Obsession, A Homophobic Inclination

    Episode 42 - Richard Rogers: A Dismemberment Obsession, A Homophobic Inclination
    Feb 1 2026
    By the time investigators connected 50-year-old Richard Rogers to the murders of four middle-aged gay and bisexual men whose remains were discovered in garbage bags between 1991 and 1993, it had been nearly three decades since Richard had first been acquitted of murder after claiming self-defense. Richard had come a long way from hiding corpses in tents. He’d realized dismemberment was a much better method of body disposal. Richard may have evolved, but so too had fingerprinting technology, and the indefensible murder he had gotten away with years earlier had paved the way for authorities to put him behind bars for good.Sources: https://thecinemaholic.com/richard-rogers-now/https://darkdowneast.com/fredericspencer/ https://www.nationalmerit.org/s/1758/interior.aspx?sid=1758&gid=2&pgid=1878 https://thecinemaholic.com/richard-rogers-victims/https://law.justia.com/cases/new-jersey/appellate-division-unpublished/2008/a5885-05-opn.html https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/swollen-lymph-nodes/multimedia/mesentery/img-20007559 https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22252-comminuted-fracture https://darkdowneast.com/lastcallkiller/ https://www.today.com/popculture/tv/last-call-true-story-richard-rogers-rcna94325 https://www.silive.com/news/g66l-2019/02/c00e71ca6c8598/last-call-killer-revisited-richard-rogers-of-staten-island-trolled-victims-at-gay-bars-in-manhattan.html https://www.oxygen.com/crime-time/richard-rogers-staten-island-nurse-serial-killer-gay-men-dismembered https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/aug/06/last-call-when-a-serial-killer-stalked-queer-ny-review-a-masterclass-in-righteous-savvy-tv https://nypost.com/2001/05/31/man-fled-clutches-of-gay-slay-suspect/ https://www.socialregisteronline.com/history https://williampennrealty.com/neighborhood-guide/center-city-philadelphia-neighborhood-information/ https://www.visitphilly.com/articles/philadelphia/essential-lgbt-sites-things-to-do-philadelphia/ https://www.inquirer.com/philly/unsorted/06101991_anderson.html https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/07/18/bangor/maine-killer-richard-rogers-nyc-murder-spree-true-crime-last-call-joam40zk0w/https://www.inquirer.com/entertainment/tv/last-call-hbo-serial-killer-richard-rogers-philadelphia-20230713.html https://www.advocate.com/news/2005/11/12/ex-nurse-found-guilty-dismemberment-murders https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-reviews/last-call-hbo-documentary-richard-rogers-serial-killer-nypd-queer-new-york-1234785156/ https://www.aetv.com/articles/last-call-killer https://forensicreader.com/vacuum-metal-deposition-vmd/ https://mashable.com/article/last-call-killer-true-crime-explainer?test_uuid=04wb5avZVbBe1OWK6996faM&test_variant=a https://citylimits.org/op-ed-mayor-must-reckon-with-st-patricks-parade-legacies/ https://www.nypdemeralds.com/history/ https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/shadow-boxing/201212/sick-signature-signals-psycho https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/last-call-hbo-documentary-richard-rogers-killer-2213879/ https://time.com/6292242/last-call-review-hbo/https://gayusatv.org/about-gay-usa/ https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/resources/newsletter/archive/gay-trans-panic-defense-what-it-how-end-it/https://www.indiewire.com/features/interviews/last-call-hboc-doc-serial-killer-richard-rogers-1234882434/

  • Episode 41 - Gary Ray Bowles: A Murderous Motorway

    Episode 41 - Gary Ray Bowles: A Murderous Motorway
    Jan 18 2026

    Using the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. as his murderous roadmap, Gary Ray Bowles left innocent men dead from Florida to Maine in 1994, killing six men before being apprehended at a Florida employment office. Gary thought of himself as a hustler, someone who exploited the benevolence of others, then turned on them in the cruelest way possible bymurdering them, violently stuffing something in their mouth, stealing from them, and then moving on to the next unsuspecting victim.

  • Episode 40 - Colin Ireland: A New Year, A New Level of Depravity

    Episode 40 - Colin Ireland: A New Year, A New Level of Depravity
    Jan 4 2026
    Having made a murderous New Year's resolution, Colin Ireland studied serial killers before putting his own plan into action. Then, in the spring of 1993, he tortured and killed five gay men: Peter Walker, Christopher Dunn, Perry Bradley III, Andrew Collier, and Emanuel Spiteri. Posing as a BDSM practitioner at the Coleherne Arms pub in West London, Colin preyed on a vulnerable community who was often targeted rather than protected by the police. His need for recognition manifested in staged crime scenes and phone calls to the police, and ultimately, all his precautions came to naught when a series of slip-ups led investigators right to him.Sources: https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/colin-ireland https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1963/37/part/I/enacted/data.xht?view=snippet&wrap=true https://www.nationaljusticemuseum.org.uk/museum/news/borstal-blogs-part-1-timeline https://www.lexisnexis.co.uk/legal/glossary/blackmail https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/fraud-act-2006 https://athenaforensics.co.uk/fraud-making-or-supplying-articles-for-use/ https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/oct/04/why-is-gay-leather-scene-dying https://sentencingcouncil.org.uk/about-sentencing/types-of-sentence/life-sentences/#:~:text=For%20the%20most%20serious%20cases,never%20be%20released%20from%20prison. https://www.crimemagazine.com/gay-slayer https://www.mylondon.news/news/gallery/west-london-neighbourhood-once-soho-26179815 https://www.cluttons.com/area-guides/guide-to-living-in-earls-court/ https://www.thepinknews.com/2022/09/24/police-pride-march-lgbtq-community-mistrust-tension/ https://www.licencetoqueer.com/blog/agents-provocateur https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcCpESctqNc https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/science/geographic-profiling https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/calculating-murderer-who-preyed-on-gays-terry-kirby-builds-up-a-picture-of-a-man-with-a-lethal-wish-to-prove-he-was-someone-of-consequence-1468747.html https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/shadow-boxing/201210/i-just-wanna-be-a-serial-killer https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-17117441 https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/may/15/gayrights.ukcrime https://news.sky.com/story/gay-slayer-serial-killer-dies-in-jail-10480796 https://www.kilburntimes.co.uk/news/crime/22037541.serial-killer-whose-victims-included-brent-librarian-dies-prison/ https://www.the-independent.com/news/serial-killer-locked-up-for-life-to-take-one-human-life-is-an-outrage-to-take-five-is-carnage-says-judge-1468716.html https://www.foxtons.co.uk/local-life/willesden https://www.the-independent.com/news/man-on-homosexual-murder-charge-1486307.html https://www.garringtonlondon.co.uk/living-in-kensington/ https://www.galop.org.uk/about https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/killer-may-have-left-pub-with-gay-victim-1493622.html https://www.theguardian.com/society/2001/jan/31/prisonsandprobation1 https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-the-thursday-edition-1.6306526/this-u-k-man-convicted-under-an-anti-gay-law-40-years-ago-may-finally-get-a-pardon-1.6306529 https://www.pridecorner.org/glossary/leather https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/may/23/fifty-years-gay-liberation-uk-barely-four-1967-act

    Episode 39 - Stephanie Kilhefner and Za’Zell Preston: Abusers Don’t Take Holidays
    Dec 21 2025
    Because it’s that time of year again, in this episode, we’re covering two cases that happened on Christmas Eve:On December 24, 2014, Dustin Lee Klopp and Stephanie Kilhefner Klopp’s two children would be made orphans, just not all at once. Having driven them to his parents’ house for the usual festivities the following day, Dustin called the police to confess to his wife’s murder and turned himself in. Years after making it, he had finally followed through on his threat to kill her. Exactly three years earlier, William Wallace would abuse his wife, Za’Zell Preston, for the last time. Unwilling to leave the apartment they shared with her two daughters and their newborn son after murdering her, he slept in the bed next to her lifeless body and then propped her on the couch the next morning while her daughters opened gifts.

    Episode 38 - Herb Baumeister: Morbid Mannequin Pool Party
    Dec 7 2025
    Being gay in conventional Indianapolis in the ‘90s wasn’t easy. When members of the small gay community started disappearing and police chose to look the other way, one brave man would put himself in harm’s way to uncover the truth. It would take years, but when the horrifying truth of what transpired at Fox Hollow Farm came to light, no one could ignore that Herb Baumeister, the respectable, wealthy, family man, was hiding a secret so big he chose to end his life rather than face the consequences of his actions. Almost thirty years after the excavation of the property first began, missing men are still being identified.Sources: https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/heres-what-we-know-about-notorious-indiana-serial-killer-herbert-baumeisterhttps://www.upi.com/Archives/1998/04/28/UPI-Focus-Sheriffs-link-9-deaths-to-Indiana-man/9730893736000/https://discover.hubpages.com/politics/serial-killer-herbert-baumeister-still-being-linked-to-dozen-of-gay-men-found-deadhttps://slate.com/technology/2022/07/schizophrenia-diagnosis-history-dsm.htmlhttps://indyencyclopedia.org/herbert-baumeister/https://inmagazine.ca/2021/03/queer-crime-the-double-life-of-herb-baumeister/https://www.distractify.com/p/herb-baumeister-househttps://www.distractify.com/p/herb-baumeister-wifehttps://www.ranker.com/list/herb-baumeister-facts/jessika-gilberthttps://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/heres-what-we-know-about-notorious-indiana-serial-killer-herbert-baumeisterhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/remains-1996-allen-livingston-victim-suspected-serial-killer-herbert-baumeister-indiana/https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/herb-baumeister-serial-killer-new-victim-daniel-halloran-b2742502.htmlhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/remains-serial-killer-herbert-baumeister-estate-identified-manuel-resendez-missing-since-1993/https://people.com/archive/while-julie-was-away-vol-46-no-26/https://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/Psyc%20405/serial%20killers/Baumeister,%20Herb%20-%20fall,%202005.pdfhttps://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/bone-found-during-sunday-search-of-herbert-baumeister-propertyhttps://www.wthr.com/article/news/crime/remains-recovered-fox-hollow-farm-westfield-herb-baumeister-1996-identified-man-missing-1993-jeffrey-jones/531-eb592a69-a7e8-4536-bd15-45d0f57b0c62https://www.indystar.com/picture-gallery/news/local/hamilton-county/westfield/2019/05/16/photos-fox-hollow-farm-westfield/3692421002/https://web.archive.org/web/20080112073317/http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/predators/baumeister/killer_10.htmlhttps://indyencyclopedia.org/herbert-baumeister/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/remains-identified-serial-killer-herb-baumeister-indiana-estate-13-presumed-victims/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0941950020300567https://www.thoughtco.com/herbert-richard-baumeister-973121#:~:text=Herbert%20began%20to%20obsess%20over,Baumeisters%20did%20not%20seek%20treatment.https://pinerypark.on.ca/https://www.hamiltoncounty.in.gov/837/Coroners-Officehttps://www.upi.com/Archives/1998/04/28/UPI-Focus-Sheriffs-link-9-deaths-to-Indiana-man/9730893736000/

    Episode 37 - Jay Thomas Johnson: There’s No “Aids Commission,” Just Another A**hole
    Nov 23 2025
    21-year-old Joel Larson was walking through a popular gay cruising spot in Minneapolis, Minnesota around 11:30 in the evening on July 31, 1991, when he was killed by a bullet to the back. Only ten days later, 19-year-old Cord Draszt and 48-year-old former Minnesota State Senator John Chenoweth were shot at another gay hangout spot. After a six-page letter from the fictitious AIDS Commission claimed responsibility for the hate crimes, authorities realized they had the wrong suspect and raced to track down the real killer before he made good on his threats of more murders to come.Sources: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/teach/diversity/assault/ https://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-murders-in-1990s-targeted-gays/512683912 https://thecinemaholic.com/joel-larson-murder-where-is-jay-thomas-johnson-now/ https://www.sctimes.com/story/news/2025/06/16/heres-a-timeline-of-past-attacks-against-minnesota-politicians/84231203007/https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/serial-killer/minnesota-gay-community-1990s-serial-killing-joel-larson https://www.lrl.mn.gov/legdb/fulldetail?id=10097 https://coms.doc.state.mn.us/publicviewer/OffenderDetails/Index/168950/Search https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/family-of-man-targeted-for-being-gay-says-more-needs-to-be-done-for-everyone-to-feel-safe/89-7ce40ed5-5d3d-49a7-be74-a711c16c468a https://www.lrl.mn.gov/legdb/articles/10097STobit.pdf https://www.lrl.mn.gov/legdb/fulldetail?id=10630 https://www.au.org/the-latest/articles/death-of-pat-robertson/ https://qlibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/MN_Gay_Movement_MCLU.pdf https://www.tcdailyplanet.net/turning-anti-gay-hate-love-loring-park-memorial-joel-larson/ https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED423939.pdfhttps://review.gale.com/2017/05/17/the-homophobic-aids-crisis-of-the-1980s/ https://www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/overview/history/hiv-and-aids-timeline#year-1981 https://www.history.com/articles/aids-epidemic-ronald-reagan https://www.aidschicago.org/about-hiv/hiv-aids-milestones/ https://hivinfo.nih.gov/understanding-hiv/fact-sheets/hiv-and-aids-basicshttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8493181/ https://www.cnn.com/us/lgbt-rights-milestones-fast-facts https://www.amfar.org/about-hiv-aids/snapshots-of-an-epidemic-hiv-aids/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20809130865&gbraid=0AAAAADvUAaRnj4Wat_2e_0ipgy6R3DA8e&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9czHBhCyARIsAFZlN8Ss0s21Wh6xan459lczdDMVrjgEkNyfKuVh5dTd8e_JDtvx_D5C5mIaAuljEALw_wcB https://www.prb.org/resources/hiv-aids-and-african-americans-a-state-of-emergency/ https://www.kff.org/hiv-aids/the-impact-of-hiv-on-black-people-in-the-united-states/ https://www.cdc.gov/Mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00001998.htm#:~:text=During%20the%201980s%2C%20the%20number,reported%20cases%20(Table%201). https://www.vox.com/2015/12/1/9828348/ronald-reagan-hiv-aids https://aidsunited.org/examining-hiv-criminalization/ https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/sodomy https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/three-decades-later-men-who-survived-gay-plague-speak-out-n825621

    Episode 36 - Alison Firth: Empty of Empathy
    Nov 16 2025

    Alice Grant lived at Aidan House, a care home in Gateshead in Northeastern England. Due to her dementia and past strokes, she was dependent on the nursing staff for all her needs and could become frustrated with her predicament. Enter Alison Firth, a nurse with 16 years’ experience and a less than stellar job history. Alison didn’t like Alice; she required a lot of care and, frankly, Alison couldn’t be bothered, so she did the unthinkable: She gave Alice an overdose of Heminevrin and was confident that no one would suspect her. She was wrong. Unlike Alison, her colleagues actually cared about the patients, and they called the police.
