The “mafia” in Chicago has a long and storied history, with origins dating back as far as the late 1800s. It has ties to the island of Sicily, and is also known as “The Outfit” and “La Cosa Nostra,” an Italian phrase apparently meaning “Our Thing”. The Chicago Outfit was born from the murder of James “Big Jim” Colosimo on May 11th, 1920.  Content Warnings: organized crime, murder. For Ad Free Content visit Supercast; Patreon; or ...

We’ll walk through what reportedly happened to 11-year-old David Glatzel, the controversial involvement of Ed and Lorraine Warren, and the murder that led to the first-ever U.S. legal defense based on demonic possession. Was ...

It’s a sad fact in doing research for these cases that facts about the victims get lost along the way. Countless reports from newspapers will detail the lives of killers, rapists, thieves, and con artists, while rarely – if ever – finding the space to tell us about the people who they hurt. The breadth of information available narrows even further when we go back even 20 years – before social media, viral campaigns for recognition,...

As a parent, sending your children off to college can be scary. It’s natural to worry about your child making the right choices, succeeding in their classes, making new friends, and whether they can take care of themselves without your help. Unfortunately, these issues pale in comparison to the reality of violence occuring on campus. Date rape, domestic abuse, and even murder are all too common once someone is out there in the “rea...

In some criminal cases, it’s almost like the contrast between the crime and the person committing it, which somehow makes everything more shocking. For example, when the criminal is a police officer – something that seems to occur ridiculously often - breaking the law instead of upholding it. Then there are cases where nurses intentionally harm or even kill the vulnerable people they’re supposed to be caring for. Or when already-di...

Insurance, as I’m sure we all know, is a pain in the neck. To get, to keep, to cash in – every step of the way it’s as tedious as it is crucial. But that’s exactly the issue – it is crucial. In a country where medical care and hospital bills are horrifyingly expensive, being hospitalized without insurance is a one-way trip to enormous amounts of debt… and hell, even with insurance people find themselves in the red just for the shee...

The concept of a love triangle has probably existed for as long as relationships have themselves. From Cleopatra, Mark Antony, and Octavia to more modern-day trios such as Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, and countless others. Most people enter into relationships with no interest in looking at anyone else with the same affection; some even believe they have met their soulmate. But sometimes, people decide they need m...

Snakes are long and limbless reptiles covered in overlapping scales. There are more than 3,400 species, and many of those have skulls that have enough joints to swallow prey bigger than their heads. Snakes are, in essence, lizards that have undergone a reduction in their structure and become simplified with evolution. You either like them, or you hate them.  Content Warnings: infidelity, accusations of domestic violence. Meet me in...

We tend to think of crimes of passion as occurring between lovers, married couples, or participants in a love triangle – willing or otherwise. But passionate hatred isn’t limited to romantic or amorous relationships. After all, Cain and Abel were brothers, and the murder of Abel is recorded in the earliest books of the Christian Bible. The terms fratricide, patricide and matricide exist in common language for a reason, with origins...

We never really know who we're interacting with online. It takes just one wrong person knowing who you are, where you live, and seemingly inconsequential details about your life for everything to turn deadly.

Religious and spiritual faiths and the practices associated with them are misrepresented ridiculously often – especially so if they deviate from the norm in, say, predominantly Christian communities. In these societies, anything not adhering to strict Christian principles has historically gained the label of “occult”, and any symbolism or practices under that label are demonized across the board. This is, in most cases, an entirely...
