Hey friends!

On this podcast, we will be talking about all thing’s crime. From murder, to missing persons, to mass shootings, to just plain old spooky! Layered with some lighthearted humor...and some not so lighthearted humor. Please be advised that this podcast is filled with adult content and explicit language; listener discretion is advised.    

This week, at request, we are discussing the case of Earle Nelson. Earle killed across 2 countries, 8 states, 1 province, and 11 cities. After losing his mother and father both to syphilis as young infant, baby Earle went to live with his maternal grandparents. Earle’s odd behaviours started young and progressed throughout his adolescent and adult life fully forming him into what he is now known as, America’s first serial sex murderer. 

Trigger warning: this case involves discussion around rape, necrophilia, the death of an infant and very dark humour.
