    366. Monster on the M1: The Murders of Samo Paull & Tracey Turner
    Jul 1 2026
    The UK Midlands is a region steeped in history and folklore, from the ancient Kingdom of Mercia to the birthplace of Shakespeare. But on a freezing, misty day in December 1993, a peaceful village right off the M1 motorway became the backdrop for a living nightmare. While driving past a dirty station wagon parked on a grassy verge near Junction 20, a local witness noticed a passenger sitting bolt upright in the backseat wearing a jet-black dress. It was a sight that made her blood run cold; she knew with absolute certainty that the woman was already dead. What followed was a massive police hunt for a transient predator who used England’s motorways to hide in plain sight, Alun Kyte, the Midlands Ripper.

  • 365. The Predator of East Harlem: Arohn Kee

    365. The Predator of East Harlem: Arohn Kee
    Jun 24 2026
    In January 1991, 13-year-old Paola Illera arrived home from school and stepped into the elevator of her East Harlem apartment building. She was only moments from her family's 30th-floor apartment, but she never made it upstairs. Hours later, her body was discovered miles from where she was last seen, launching an investigation that would haunt detectives for years. As fear spread through the neighborhood, investigators searched for answers in a case that seemed to offer few clues. Yet hidden among the evidence was a tiny trace that would eventually help uncover the truth. This week, we examine the murder of Paola Illera, the long hunt for her killer, and the string of crimes that terrorized East Harlem throughout the 1990s. Join us as we discuss: ‘The Predator of East Harlem: Arohn Kee’ on this week’s episode.

    364. An Unholy Act: Elizabeth Mackintosh
    Jun 17 2026
    Thank you to Kimberly for the request. Creve Coeur, Missouri, is known for its affluent, charmed lifestyle. It's a kind of safe, quiet suburb where nothing bad ever happens. But in French, Creve Coeur translates to “broken heart,” and thirty-five years ago, that translation became a brutal reality for the family of Elizabeth Mackintosh. Elizabeth was a brilliant, fiercely independent, and strong-willed 50-year-old nurse from the Scottish Highlands who moved across the world to attend the prestigious Covenant Theological Seminary. She was just weeks away from graduation when her life was violently cut short. On Monday, March 26, 1990, Elizabeth unlocked the campus chapel at 4:00 AM for her routine cleaning shift. By 7:20 AM, she was found dead inside a restroom. The brutality of the attack shocked the community and baffled investigators. Join Jen and Cam as they discuss "An Unholy Act: Elizabeth Mackintosh."

  • 363. The Disappearance That Brought Down a Criminal Empire: Breanna Taylor

    363. The Disappearance That Brought Down a Criminal Empire: Breanna Taylor
    Jun 10 2026
    This week’s episode is a little different. Instead of focusing on a single crime, we're diving into an entire criminal organization, one built on loyalty, fear, violence, and an unbreakable code of silence. It all begins with the disappearance of 19-year-old Breanna Taylor from a quiet Ohio suburb in 2006. At first, her case seemed like another missing-person investigation. But as detectives dug deeper, they uncovered something far more disturbing: a sprawling white supremacist criminal enterprise operating in plain sight. What started as a search for one missing young woman would eventually expose a network of murder, drug trafficking, racketeering, and corruption, and lead to what federal prosecutors called the largest white supremacist racketeering case in American history.

    362. Natural Born Killer: The Murders of Stephen Dempsey & Ezzedine Bahmad
    Jun 2 2026
    The southeastern shores of Australia are famous for gorgeous beaches, whale watching, and sunny holiday vibes, but in late 1994, the people of Sydney’s Northern Beaches were shocked by two horrific crimes. It began with a 34-year-old landscape gardener, Stephen Dempsey, who went missing after an impromptu stop at the Deep Creek Reserve. Months later, a gentle father of seven and taxi driver, Ezzedine Bahmad, was brutally murdered during a late-night shift. Police were left with two separate mysteries until a gruesome discovery in the waters of Pittwater broke both cases wide open. The clues led investigators straight to a 21-year-old local predator and a secret inside a refrigerator.

  • 361. The Sleepover: Browning Family Massacre

    361. The Sleepover: Browning Family Massacre
    May 27 2026
    In the quiet suburb of Cockeysville, Maryland, nothing bad was supposed to happen. Families left their doors unlocked. Neighbors trusted one another. And the Browning family seemed picture perfect. Fifteen-year-old Nicholas Browning was bright, polite, and dependable, a Boy Scout, a good student, the kind of teenager parents trusted without question. But on a cold February night in 2008, that image would shatter forever. After being dropped off for what should have been an ordinary sleepover with friends, Nick returned home the next morning to a nightmare scene: his parents, John and Tamara Browning, and his two younger brothers, Benjamin and Gregory, had all been brutally murdered. What investigators uncovered next would shock an entire community and reveal a darkness hiding behind the facade of an all-American family. Join Cam and Jen for this episode of Our True Crime Podcast, titled ‘The Sleepover: Browning Family Massacre.’ Be sure to check out the promo for Rogue Transmission from our friend Edward at OctoberpodVHS. This 80s-inspired cyberpunk audio anthology brings together independent horror and true crime podcasts for a special DungeonPunk-themed broadcast on June 2. And if you listen closely… You just might hear a familiar voice or two. And speaking of Edward, that is him with our listener discretion at the top of the show.
