    Episode 139: Tyler Hadley the House Party Killer
    Mar 25 2026

    17-year-old Tyler Hadley desperately wanted to throw a party in his parents’ house, so on Saturday, July 16, 2011, he ate three hits of ecstasy and bludgeoned his mom and dad to death with the claw end of a 22-inch framing hammer, then posted on Facebook he was having a party.

    While his parents’ corpses rotted in their locked bedroom, over a hundred teenagers showed up at his house, raging the night away, somehow oblivious to the blood splatter, bone fragments and brain matter on the walls, and the scent of death, as they played music on the family’s gore-drenched computer and beer pong with a blood-soaked ball.

    Episode 137: Shasta Groene and Joseph Edward Duncan a Survivor's Tale Part One
    Mar 4 2026

    When Shasta Groene was eight years old, she survived 47 days in the forest with the serial killer and apex child predator who’d killed her family and abducted her: Joseph Edward Duncan.

    Her tale of survival in the hands of this brutal monster is beyond harrowing and disturbing, but it is also a tale of resilience, hope, and, eventually, healing.

    Listener discretion is strongly advised.
