This week, we’re turning to a subject relatable to anyone who regularly braves our roads and highways - road rage murders! Although these murders (seemingly) originated in petty vehicular disputes, their consequences are deadly serious. Featuring a sword-wielding assailant that’s too fun to make fun of, a cold-blooded killer who thought he was James Bond, and a supremely annoying cop-loving killer who - shocker - got violent when h...

This week we're covering a listener request, and we couldn't be happier about it! This very interesting topic is road rage killings, and boy are there some crazy ones out there! We will travel all over the good ol' US to find the most depraved, weird, and idiotic cases possible.
Also, as an aside, Cindy accidentally deleted the first of these two episodes, so these will be relased backwards as we will need to re-record part one! So ...

This week, we turn to the fascinating and frustrating topic of false confessions. It’s hard to imagine confessing to a murder you didn’t commit, and incredibly infuriating to follow how corrupt investigators build entire cases based on these shaky statements. Featuring a case that rocked the peaceful island nation of Iceland, an unassuming deckhand who fell under suspicion, and a teen unfairly suspected of his own mother’s murder. ...

This week, dear listeners, we're diving into a topic that is the epitome of pathetic - killers who can't even murder in an original way. That's right, these horrible humans are not only totally evil, they are also completely uncreative and have to steal the murderous MO's of other killers, riding their horrific coattails into infamy. The only redeeming part of these cases is the fact that most of these murderers are also far less s...

This week, Twisted Listeners, we take a look at a few infuriating cases of false confessions. Of all the topics we've covered, few have had so many stories to choose from, which was both fun for research, and upsetting to know so many people got to prison for no reason at all, sometimes for their entire lives.
These cases range from vindicating to infuriating, with a little bit of everything in between as well. So tune in and enjoy...

This week, we turn to a group of very shitty people who thought their beliefs were worthy of being immortalized in the form of a manifesto. Featuring a man with a vendetta against the LAPD, a notorious serial killer who left a very dweeby last message, and a killer couple who mistakenly thought they were the real-life Joker and Harley Quinn. Join us as we make fun of the ridiculous thoughts that these killers felt were important to...

Sometimes, Twisted Listers, on top of being murderous evil doers, certain killers are also absolutely the biggest dorks on the planet. This week, we celebrate that by covering cases of murderers with horrible, silly, sad, and weird manifestos. Israel Keyes' pathetic poetry will be put on blast, as well as some AI inspiring copy and paste action from the Virginia Tech shooter. Plus, we will discuss a man who had enough of being puni...

This week, we're looking at a strange phenomenon in the true crime world: shocking confessions! We started out with witness testimony, but realized there are a lot of murderers who love to talk about their crimes, even going as far as pulling a "Big Ed" and turning themselves in! These cases cover a many with extra body parts in his pockets, a witness who did the right thing and learned a lesson, confessions that went ignored thank...

After a week away, we’re back with an iconic true crime topic: serial killer truckers. It’s no secret that the trucking occupation lends itself to murdering and making a quick escape on the highway, so these itinerant drivers make up a good chunk of the gnarliest serial killers around. Featuring a brutal killer who stalked the Pacific Northwest, a German trucker who likes hair a little too much, and a dorky killer who enjoys leathe...

We're back this week, dear twisted listeners, with a classic topic we are shocked we've never covered: killer truckers! This profession is a favorite among serial killers, and with good reason - it's hard to track them, they can pray on the vulnerable, and they have plenty of time alone, where nobody can say they weren't working. It's a pretty scary thought, and these cases really show prove that, as many of these murderers were ab...

This week, we’ve turned to the haunting and fascinating topic of murder convictions with no body - a circumstance so rare that it used to be legally prohibited in some places. These cases feature twists and turns of rare - good - detective work, as it’s not easy to bring a suspect to justice without a body. Featuring the appearance of a mysterious puppy, a man who disposed of his wife’s body in an exceptionally gruesome way, and th...

This week, we're covering cases involving a striking lack of evidence: murders without bodies! These cases all end in what we would call a satisfying conclusion, with the bad guy behind bars, but the interesting part is how these people came to be convicted of a murder that couldn't fully be proven. How can you be sure a murder took place if there's no body? In some of these cases, it's pretty obvious, but in others, it's actually,...

The second half of this list is so much worse than the first, mostly because both victims are truly innocent and somehow ended up as part of a weird web of lies and jealousy. In both cases, we have an abusive husband, wife without a way out, and an unsuspecting 'lover' who doesn't even realize they're about to pay the ultimate price simply for looking for love! It's a twisted two tales this time around, and remind us all that no ma...

This week we're doing what we do best: taking a fun, cute holiday, and making it all about murder! We're focusing once again on Valentine's Day by discussing cases where cheaters (or sometimes, their unsuspecting lovers) paid the ultimate price for their infidelity. It's a clusterf*ck in the truest sense of the word, and in every case, it ends in tragedy that has us asking over and over, why not just break up?? So join us for a ver...

This week, we’re getting in the romantic Valentine’s season, but with a dark and sinister twist - murders motivated by unrequited love. While the strange feelings that some of these killers embody can hardly be called “love,” it definitely led them to feel broken-hearted in their own sick, stupid ways. Featuring a deadly love triangle, a family massacre inspired by an unrequited crush, and a shocking murder in a Walgreens break roo...

In true TL fasion, we couldn't possibly celebrate with happy tales, so instead we turned to murder, as always. These stories are of incel baby men who simply cannot take no for an answer, and as such, do horrible, terrible things to people who absolutely do not deserve it whatsoever.

This week we delve into cases from around the world, lest we forget that terrible tales exist outside of the US. These stories are not only horrifying, but so often preventable, and really show the lack of action by those meant to protect us, not only here, but also abroad. Police in many countries fail to do the work necessary to keep their citizens safe, and these cases showcase just what happens when that's the case. So tune in ...
