John Cooper: The Bullseye Killer

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the case of John Cooper, also known as the “Bullseye Killer.” In the ‘80s, Cooper committed two double murders in the Welsh county of Pembrokeshire in the UK. Throughout the following decade, Cooper would commit a series of other crimes, like burglary and sexual assault – but it would take nearly another decade for authorities to link him to the killings. Candice dives into the psyche of Cooper, exploring how his addiction to gambling and alcohol might have pushed him into a life of crime, and how his false sense of invincibility – like his decision to appear on a popular game show after committing a heinous crime – ultimately led to his downfall.

Listen Now - Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder

On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94 would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs. Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune. But then, a twisted script unfolded, plunging them into a million-dollar cocaine and cash heist, a tangled web of lies, and ultimately – murder. The trail led investigators right to Hollywood's doorstep, linking former golden boy producer Robert Evans to the case and dredging up Radin's own troubled past. But the case turned ice cold. It would take more than five years of dogged pursuit by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department detectives, a secret undercover witness, and another murder almost 3,000 miles from Hollywood – to unlock the truth. This is the story of a doomed Hollywood partnership, a grisly murder and the search that stretched across the country for a killer – or killers. From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime: The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet, and the Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley comes a six part series that dives into the dark side of Hollywood through a shocking murder – fueled by ruthless ambition and desperate dreams. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.

Quincy Allen: A Conversation with Karen Conti

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong speaks with Karen Conti, John Wayne Gacy’s former appeals lawyer, to discuss the case of Quincy Allen. In 2002, Allen went on a deadly crime spree that claimed the lives of four people across two states. He pleaded guilty in both states, receiving a life sentence in one – but a death sentence in the other. His sentence was overturned in 2022 after it was found that Allen’s history of childhood abuse and mental illness were not considered by the sentencing judge – and, most recently, Allen was resentenced to life in prison instead. Candice and Karen discuss Allen’s background and the factors that led to a successful appeal in his case. Karen's book, "Killing Time with John Wayne Gacy: Defending America’s Most Evil Serial Killer on Death Row" is out now and available on Amazon and most book retailers.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong dives into the case of Nannie Doss, also known as the “Giggling Granny.” From 1927 to 1954, Doss poisoned and killed four of her five husbands – and was even suspected of killing her own family members along the way. By luring her love interests from “lonely hearts” newspaper columns and keeping up a sweet, smiley exterior, Nannie was able to kill undetected for years, with no one suspecting a thing. Candice explores how Nannie’s method of murder kept her under the radar, and why she felt compelled to kill her loved ones.
