  • Daniel Joe Hittle - Episode 036
    Jan 30 2026

    Daniel Joe Hittle wasn’t just a repeat offender—he was an overachiever in all the worst ways. Born in Indiana and adopted into a Minnesota farm family, he grew up quiet, polite, and apparently harboring enough rage to later murder his adoptive parents in 1973. After serving time and securing parole, he took the concept of “fresh start” and twisted it into a 1989 Texas killing spree that left five people dead, including a police officer.

    Hittle’s method was simple and unsubtle: a shotgun, a grudge, and absolutely no impulse control. His victims ranged from law enforcement to his own drug dealer—and even a child—cementing his place among America’s most chilling spree killers.

  • Charles Schmid Jr - Episode 035
    Jan 26 2026

    Charles Schmid Jr., better known as the “Pied Piper of Tucson,” was the kind of small‑town troublemaker who tried to turn himself into a legend—platform shoes, pancake makeup, and all. In the mid‑1960s, he charmed Tucson’s teenagers with a mix of bravado and bad eyeliner, only to reveal a far darker side: behind the swagger lurked a manipulative killer responsible for the deaths of at least three young women.

    Schmid cultivated an image somewhere between Elvis impersonator and desert outlaw, using his odd charisma to lure in admirers—until his crimes shocked the community and landed him behind bars. His story became infamous enough to inspire a Life magazine exposé and even a Joyce Carol Oates short story.

    In short: he was the teen scene’s self‑appointed icon who turned out to be a nightmare in lift‑heeled boots—a chilling reminder that sometimes the scariest monsters are the ones who desperately want to be cool.

  • Robert Wayne Danielson - Episode 034
    Jan 23 2026

    Robert Wayne Danielson Jr. carved out a grim legacy across the American West, leaving investigators chasing a trail as unpredictable as his movements. Born in 1946 and largely a mystery in his early years, Danielson drifted through life with a mix of depression, drug use, and a knack for turning roadside encounters into deadly confrontations.

    After an early manslaughter conviction in 1970, he resurfaced in the early ’80s with a spree that stretched from Arizona to Oregon and California—robbing, kidnapping, and killing with chilling efficiency. Authorities ultimately tied him to at least seven victims, though suspicions lingered across multiple states.
