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.

A family inside a quiet suburban home —
a mother.
a father.
and their seven kids.
And then, in the middle of the night…something breaks.
A 911 call.

How does a family implode from the inside?

They thought it was just a drive.
One friend in the backseat.
One boyfriend riding shotgun.
And a teenage girl behind the wheel.
But what happened next wasn’t an accident.
It was a decision.
And once the car hit 100 miles per hour…
there was no turning back.

April 1968. Memphis, Tennessee.

In August 2016, a family of five left their redcurrant farm in Silvan, Victoria — driving north with a wad of cash, while their phones and bank cards stayed behind.
Over the next few days, they fractured across New South Wales and Victoria, turning up one by one — distressed, disoriented, and convinced they were being followed.
No kidnappers. No robbery. No clear “why.”
Just a family that seemed to collectively slip out of reality…in ...
A crowded St. Patrick’s night in downtown Longmont, CO. After last call, Rita Gutierrez-Garcia steps into the alley west of 3’S Bar. At 3:07 a.m., her phone dials 911…and then goes silent.
And Rita never makes it home.

People like to say Jeff Buckley’s death was poetic. That it meant something. That it was fate, legacy, or some tragic echo of his father.
It wasn’t.
Jeff drowned after wading into a dangerous river at dusk. The myth came later — because the truth was too ordinary for a voice like his.

What they found inside would shatter that illusion completely.

Wolf Island Road.
A forgotten path at the edge of a Massachusetts town…where history, violence, and legend all collide.
From stories of colonial executions and restless spirits…
to tales of phantom headlights and voices caught in the dark…

The one they warn you not to drive down at night.

Thanksgiving.
The kind of holiday where the food’s good, the smiles are polite, and nobody mentions the family tension simmering just below the surface.
Paul Merhige sat at the table like everyone else.
Chatted. Posed for photos.
Then — something changed.
And by the time the night was over…nothing would ever be the same.
