10 Minute Murder

Serial murderer Gary Ray Bowles spent the year of 1994 charming men in gay bars by offering them sex in exchange for money.

Gary slayed six men, but the police knew exactly who...

You’ve heard me say it countless times on this podcast… people around you are committing murders. You aren’t (hopefully), but that doesn’t mean the guy waving at you while raking his leaves as you jog by on your neighborhood run is innocent. The nice lady in line in front of you at the bank that strikes up a conversation about how pretty the weather is today, may be hiding literal skeletons in her closet. The simple fact is, there ...

However, when Arne was taken into custody, he revealed something to the police that was unlike anything ...

The vibe was going strong at Club Rol-Lexx, a Miami strip club, when two black men stepped out to go to their pickup in the club parking lot.

They were sitting in the two front seats when they were approached by a person that, in hindsight, was the biggest danger that the night could present.

This man was later diagnosed with a myriad of uncontrolled mental health diagnoses including impulse control disorder, antisocial personality...

A string of murders between 1911 and 1912 created a culture of fear and chaos in Louisiana. Investigators thought they had their man. He didn’t put up much of a fight during his own trial and even his own family testified against him. It turns out, he wasn’t actually responsible for murdering all of those african american families with an axe, but someone close to him was trying to make sure he took the fall… in the name of the chu...

They thought he was a freak and handicapped, but he would show them just how powerful he was. Yeah, his hands could have been used for good and could have continued the good name of the family business… but he chose a different path. An abusive, violent path and because of this, he became hated in his community. He had done awful things and had not been held accountable. Because of this, his overinflated ego had created blindspots ...

The pressure of being a child actor was almost more than he could take. But now… Now, as an adult, it was a different kind of unbearable. The acting jobs had dried up for the most part, along with the the stardom, the fandom…all the admiration…all the opportunity. And now what did he have? Not a collection of awards but instead a collection of issues. Mainly one big issue. This one he could handle once and for all…never mind his de...

Fantasies are okay… completely normal, right?

For a family man with a mundane existence, life was fine... in a plain, uneventful kind of way.

He didn’t mind the appearance of his outwardly boring existence... because that façade served him well and kept his fantasies out of sight and concealed enough to not be found out.

This seemingly ordinary life helped to keep the internal rotten vein running through him a secret. But what woul...

The meeting scheduled for 3:00 pm on February 12, 2010, was a mundane one. Routine, really. It was located on the third floor of the Shelby Center for Science and Technology at the University of Alabama at Huntsville.
