On November 25, 1996, Richard and Ruth Wendorf were bludgeoned to death in their own home by a 16-year-old boy named Rod Ferrell, who believed he was a 500-year-old vampire. Rod was the self-appointed leader of a so-called "vampire clan" in Murray, Kentucky, a loosely organized group of socially isolated teenagers bound by shared fantasy and ritualized blood drinking. To the outside world, it looked like teenage rebellion with fangs; but strip away the mythology and costumes, and what remained was far more disturbing than any supernatural story. This was a group of malleable kids desperate for acceptance, drawn into the orbit of a deeply damaged boy who understood exactly how to exploit their need to belong. In the end, this isn’t a story about vampires - it’s a story about what happens when young people searching for family find a cult instead...and when shared delusion hardens into shared violence.

On Friday, April 13, 2012, 22-year-old Brittany Killgore lost her life in a sex dungeon. She disappeared three days after filing for divorce from her husband, Lance Corporal Cory Killgore, who was deployed in Afghanistan, and was ultimately discovered days later near a lake in Riverside County, California. The autopsy revealed neck injuries consistent with strangulation, and marks on Brittany's wrists and legs suggesting attempted dismemberment with a saw. But the physical evidence was only the beginning of what investigators would uncover, as the trail led to a home with a fully equipped sex dungeon in the basement. Three individuals, people Brittany considered friends, who were all involved in a sadomasochist sex relationship with each other, decided to torture, assault, and ultimately kill Brittany for their twisted satisfaction.

Note: This is an ongoing investigation, and all information referenced is alleged at this time.14year-old MJ didn’t starve because there was no food in the house - she starved in a home full of it. At the time of her rescue in 2025, MJ weighed just 35 pounds, a size typically seen in toddlers. She lived with four adults who were themselves obese, and who visibly consumed an excess of food while allegedly systematically denying it to her. This was not poverty, illness, confusion; it was allegedly prolonged abuse and neglect by omission, carried out in plain sight. This case exposes how power and indifference, in the hands of allegedly depraved adults, can essentially erase a child. Please listen with caution.

I saw this title and the two hosts and I admit that I thought oh this is a 'Joe Rogan does true crime' right wing podcast. I was ABSOLUTELY proved wrong almost instantly as the intelligently researched crime stories, expertly delivered by investigator Slater and interjected with thoughtful, considered and empathetic remarks from the admittedly 'jacked' Tank Sinatra. That's not to say there isn't humour and 'in jokes' that when you know, you know. Tanks love of hip hop and obviously meme culture comes through in the episodes. Brooke Slater (an actual investigator in her day job working with human trafficking among other things) has a real knack for researching all the key elements of a case and humanising victims as well as her 'pop quizzes' that she posits to Tank and the listener which is a novel feature i personally love. overall an excellent True Crime podcast that only gets better as it goes on and I think will shine through as one of the top of it's genre. Crimedy Chaos Completed supremely.

It is a doozy, great true crime comedy cohorts.
