Killer Heart To Hearts

Killer Heart To Hearts

Hosted by real-life couple William Cannon and Elise Buedel, Killer Heart to Hearts isn’t just another true crime podcast. It’s immersive, sharply written, and emotionally honest. With a tone that’s darkly witty, culturally aware, and often chilling, each episode dissects stories of murder, disappearance, and betrayal — always with a human heartbeat beneath the horror. Whether it’s the psychology of an incel, the mystery of a locked hotel room, or a murder staged to look like a suicide, we dive into the shadows — and bring our listeners with us.

1892.

A quiet home in Fall River, Massachusetts.

Two brutal murders behind locked doors.

And a daughter whose calm demeanor would divide a nation.

This is the case of Lizzie Borden — a story of family tension, Victorian restraint, and violence that still echoes more than a century later.

Three friends go to a football watch party in Kansas City.

They never come home.

Two days later, their bodies are found frozen — in a backyard.

No one noticed they were gone.

And the man who hosted the party… says he slept through the whole thing.


This is the story of Clayton McGeeney, Ricky Johnson, and David Harrington.

And the chilling silence that followed.

Brian Shaffer was a 27-year-old med student with a bright future, a goofy smile, and a tragic past. On the night of March 31st, 2006, he walked into a bar in Columbus, Ohio.

And then he vanished.

No signs of struggle. No suspicious footage. No concrete leads.

Just…gone.

Ryker Webb was just 3 years old when he vanished from his backyard in Montana. A full-scale search turned up nothing. No tracks. No clues.

And then — two days later — he came back.

Alone. Cold. And with a look in his eyes no toddler should ever have.

In 2013, a quiet English town became the backdrop for a killing spree — one that left three men dead, their bodies dumped like trash along rural ditches.

The killer wasn’t just a murderer. She was a manipulator. A seductress. A woman who took pleasure — actual pleasure — in inflicting pain. 

And she didn’t act alone.

A man checks into a Kansas City hotel under a fake name. No luggage. No bags. Just a toothbrush and a comb.

Three days later, he’s dead — tortured, bound, and bleeding from stab wounds… inside a locked room.

No one saw a thing.

No one knows his real name.

And nearly a century later, we’re still asking:

Who was he?

And what happened in Room 1046?

He was rich. He was connected. He had good hair, a BMW, and Hollywood blood in his veins. But none of that mattered — because Elliot Rodger couldn’t get laid. 

This is the story of privilege, rejection, rage, and the birth of a dangerous online movement.
