Morbid

On October 30, 1975, fifteen-year-old Martha Moxley failed to return home after a night out with friends in Belle Haven, an exclusive wealthy enclave in Greenwich, CT. The following morning, Moxley’s badly beaten body was discovered underneath a tree, just a few hundred feet from her house, triggering one of the most notorious murder mysteries in the state’s history.

Listener Tales 110: Playdates with the Paranormal

In March 1989, twenty-one-year-old University of Texas student Mark Kilroy and some friends traveled south of the border to Matamoros, Mexico to celebrate the end of spring break, along with thousands of other American students that year. After drinking all night at a bar on the night of March 10, Kilroy got separated from his friends when they decided to call it a night a little after 2:00 am. No one would see Mark Kilroy alive again.
As one of several towns bordering the United States, Matamoros was popular with American tourists; however, by the late 1980s, it was beginning to develop a reputation for drug-related crime. In fact, Mark Kilroy was just one of sixty people who went missing in Matamoros in just the first three months of 1989 alone. When Kilroy’s friends reported him missing to the Brownsville, Texas police a massive search began, with investigators fearing Mark might have been kidnapped by one of the local gangs. It turned out, the truth was far worse than anyone had feared.

The Matamoros Devil Murders (Part 1)

Today we are revisiting episode 27 with an incredible tale of survival!
Mary Vincent survived something so horrifying that most of us couldn't even conjure it up in our nightmares. Her attacker, Lawrence Singleton, could have never imagined that Mary would walk away from where he left her to die in a canyon as a symbol of strength and resilience in the face of insurmountable odds. This is a story of survival, but also one of a justice system that is in desperate need of fixing.RESOURCES<a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-08-01-vw-4970-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-08-01-vw-4970-story.html</a><a href="https://morbidology.com/left-for-dead-mary-vincent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://morbidology.com/left-for-dead-mary-vincent/</a><a href="https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/A-victim-a-survivor-an-artist-1106335.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/A-victim-a-survivor-an-artist-1106335.php</a><a href="https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Lawrence-Singleton-despised-rapist-dies-He-2886703.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Lawrence-Singleton-despised-rapist-dies-He-2886703.php</a>

Big news... HUGE!

When thirty-four-year-old Shanann Watts missed a doctor’s appointment on August 13, 2018, her friends reported her missing to the Frederick, Colorado Police. When officers searched the home, they found Shanann’s car parked in the garage and her belongings—including her wallet, cell phone, and medication—were found in various spots around the house, but there was no sign of Shanann or the couple’s two children anywhere.
The next day, the FBI opened an investigation into the disappearance of Shanann, Bella and Celeste and Chris took to local television to give one of the most infamous and suspicious interviews of all time. He asked anyone with information about their whereabouts to come forward. The very next day however, Chris failed a polygraph exam and eventually confessed to murdering his wife, but he initially denied killing their children.

The Watts Family Murders (Part 1)

Today we are joined by the legendary Patricia Cornwell! We dive into all things Scarpetta, the highly praisedTV adaptation of her iconic book series. We also get into the evolution of forensic science in storytelling, and how Patricia basically walked so every crime show could run. Then we shift gears into her deeply personal new memoir, where she opens up about her life, career, and the experiences that shaped her storytelling. From behind-the-scenes publishing drama to the real-life inspirations for her chilling cases, Patricia gets candid in a way that is equal parts fascinating and inspiring!

Listener Tales 109: 80's Tales!

When Ron Bradley won an all-expense paid cruise to the Caribbean in 1998, it seemed like a great opportunity to have one last family vacation with his wife, Iva, and his kids, twenty-three-year-old Amy and twenty-one-year-old Brad. In March, the family flew to Puerto Rico, where they boarded “Rhapsody of the Seas,” a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, and set off for the island of Curacao. The trip was everything Ron and his wife had hoped for, but just two days after departing from Puerto Rico, Amy went missing and their lives would never be the same again.
If anyone has any information about the whereabouts of Amy Bradley, they are encouraged to contact the family through their website <a rel="noopener noreferrer">amybradleyismissing.com</a> or the FBI at <a rel="noopener noreferrer">tips.fbi.gov.</a>
