Episode Description: You’ve heard of Spider-Man—but this isn’t a story about a hero. This is the disturbing true tale of Theodore Edward Coneys, a man who became known as “The Denver Spiderman” after committing a grisly murder and secretly living in his victim’s attic for months without detection. Why did he do it? How did no one know he was there? And how did this urban legend come to life in 1940s Denver? In this episode, we unravel the bizarre and bone-chilling case of a man who hid in the shadows—literally—and became part of one of Denver’s most infamous crimes.
Inside this episode, we cover: The troubled early life of Theodore Coneys and how illness and isolation shaped him The shocking murder of Philip Peters in his own home How Coneys lived undetected in a tiny attic crawlspace for five weeks The investigation, the strange occurrences that baffled police, and how he was finally caught The public reaction and how the case became an urban legend and media sensation Why Coneys became known as “The Spider Man of Denver” and how this case still haunts true crime history Sometimes, the real horror isn’t what’s outside your home—it’s what’s hiding inside.
