• The Teahouse Killing: Sada Abe's Twisted Love Story

    The Teahouse Killing: Sada Abe's Twisted Love Story

    In May 1936, Tokyo geisha Sada Abe murdered her lover Kichizo Ishida through strangulation, then severed his genitals in what became Japan's most notorious crime of the Showa era. The homicide investigation revealed a twisted love affair between a former sex worker and a married restaurant owner that ended in mutilation, carving bloody inscriptions, and a three-day manhunt through Tokyo. Detectives found Abe carrying the severed body parts in her kimono, treating them like sacred relics.

    This case goes way beyond tabloid shock value. You've got a woman who survived sexual trauma, disease, and the brutal exploitation of Japan's pleasure districts in the 1930s. She found something that felt like real connection, then decided if she couldn't keep it alive, she'd preserve it in the most horrifying way imaginable. The aftermath is equally wild: she walked free after just a few years, became a stage celebrity playing herself in theater productions, and later ran a bar where people lined up to be served by the woman who committed one of history's most intimate murders.

  • Left to Die: The Chante Mallard Case and the Man in Her Windshield
    Jan 21 2026
    Left to Die: The Chante Mallard Case and the Man in Her Windshield

    Gregory Biggs, a 37-year-old homeless man and former bricklayer, was struck by a car on Highway 287 in Fort Worth, Texas in the early morning hours of October 26, 2001. The driver, Chante Mallard, a 25-year-old certified nursing assistant, drove home with Biggs lodged in her windshield and left him to die in her garage. The homicide investigation led detectives through a shocking cover-up involving body disposal at Cobb Park and evidence tampering. Mallard was convicted of murder in 2003 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.

    This is the story of a collision that should have been a tragedy but became something far worse. Gregory Biggs didn't die on impact. He died slowly, bleeding out in a stranger's garage while she debated what to do about the inconvenience of a dying man trapped in her car. The medical examiner testified he could have survived if she'd made one phone call. This case forces you to ask how someone trained to save lives could sit in her garage, apologize to a dying stranger, and then walk away to let him bleed to death. The answer involves drugs, panic, and a series of choices that turned an accident into one of the most disturbing murders in Texas history.

  • The Soho House Murder: How Sylvie Cachay's Breakup Turned Deadly
    Jan 20 2026
    The Soho House Murder: How Sylvie Cachay's Breakup Turned Deadly

    Sylvie Cachay was a 33-year-old Peruvian-American fashion designer found dead in a bathtub at New York City's Soho House on December 9, 2010. The homicide investigation revealed Nicholas Brooks, her 24-year-old boyfriend, strangled and drowned the swimwear designer in what prosecutors called a staged crime scene. The murder trial in 2013 exposed intimate partner violence, financial exploitation, and a twisted family legacy involving Brooks's father, Academy Award-winning composer Joseph Brooks, who was awaiting trial for sexually assaulting 11 women

    This is the story of a woman who survived the 2008 financial crash and was rebuilding her fashion empire when she met a trust fund kid with no job, no ambition, and a family tree rotting from the inside out. Sylvie was days away from cutting him off completely when everything went wrong in a flooded hotel room. The forensic evidence tells a story of violence that couldn't be hidden by running water and prescription pills. This case has everything: a fire that might not have been an accident, a seven-minute window that destroyed an alibi, and a turtleneck sweater that became the most damning piece of evidence in a Manhattan courtroom.

  • The Joker Killer: James Holmes and the Aurora Theater Massacre
    Jan 15 2026
    The Joker Killer: James Holmes and the Aurora Theater Massacre

    James Eagan Holmes murdered twelve people and injured seventy others during the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises at a Colorado movie theater on July 20, 2012. The Aurora theater shooting investigation revealed a University of Colorado neuroscience PhD candidate who meticulously planned a mass shooting while simultaneously rigging his apartment with homemade napalm and thermite explosives designed to kill first responders. Holmes bought his arsenal the same afternoon he failed his doctoral exams, then spent weeks building what the FBI called a "jungle gym of booby traps" in his apartment.

    The headlines about the "Joker killer" completely missed the real horror. Holmes developed something he called the "Human Capital" theory, a twisted philosophical framework where he believed killing people would transfer their value to him. He'd been hallucinating violent shadows fighting each other since childhood, saw things he called "Nail Ghosts," and told his girlfriend months before the shooting that he wanted to "kill people, of course." She thought he was joking. His psychiatrist knew he thought about homicide three to four times a day, but couldn't legally hold him. And when three young men heard gunfire in that darkened theater, they all made the same split-second decision to use their bodies as shields, saving the women they loved while dying in the process.

  • The Flint Serial Slasher: Elias Abuelazam
    Jan 13 2026
    The Flint Serial Slasher: Elias Abuelazam

    In August 2010, Elias Abuelazam was arrested at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport while attempting to flee to Israel after a brutal stabbing spree that terrorized Flint, Michigan. The serial killer murdered at least five men and attacked nine others across Michigan, Virginia, and Ohio between May and August 2010, targeting primarily African American men in what became known as the Flint Serial Slasher case. Arnold Minor, a 49-year-old handyman, became a key murder victim when investigators found his blood on Abuelazam's steering wheel and clothing.

    This is the story of a predator who weaponized kindness. Elias Abuelazam drove through the struggling streets of Flint in his green Chevy TrailBlazer, pretending he needed help with directions or car trouble. When Good Samaritans approached his window, he stabbed them and drove away. Five families lost someone they loved. Nine survivors carry physical and emotional scars that will never fully heal. The case connects to an earlier unsolved murder in Virginia and a violent assault in Israel, painting a picture of escalating violence that spanned continents. We'll walk through the investigation that finally caught him, the controversial insanity defense that failed, and the decision to suspend additional trials that left many families without full closure.

  • Natural Selection: How Religious Extremism Killed Mary Anne Welch
    Jan 8 2026
    Natural Selection: How Religious Extremism Killed Mary Anne Welch

    On August 2, 2018, ten-month-old Mary Anne Welch died of starvation in Solon Township, Michigan. Her parents, Seth Welch and Tatiana Fusari, were convicted of felony murder and first-degree child abuse after investigators discovered the infant weighed only eight pounds at death. The homicide investigation revealed a disturbing pattern of deliberate medical neglect, religious extremism, and a 90-minute delay before calling 911 while Seth consulted his lawyer.

    This is the story of a baby who starved to death in plain sight. Seth Welch believed in "natural selection" and called doctors the "priesthood of the medical cult." He recorded videos explaining why weak children should die off. Tatiana worked at McDonald's but claimed she was too terrified of her husband to seek help. Their farmhouse was covered in religious signs warning the world to stay away, while inside, Mary Anne's body slowly consumed itself trying to survive. When Seth finally called 911, he told the dispatcher his daughter was "dead as a doornail" and admitted he'd called his attorney first. The autopsy revealed she'd been starving for months. The question isn't whether they killed her. It's how they justified watching it happen.

  • Birmingham's Forgotten Serial Killer: Jack Harrison Trawick
    Jan 6 2026
    Birmingham's Forgotten Serial Killer: Jack Harrison Trawick

    Jack Harrison Trawick murdered Stephanie Gach in Birmingham, Alabama in 1992 after abducting the 21-year-old college student from her apartment complex parking lot. The homicide investigation revealed Trawick had killed at least three women, including 17-year-old Betty Jo Richards in 1972 and 26-year-old Aileen Pruitt earlier in 1992. Forensic evidence from his white Toyota van, including fiber analysis and luminol-detected blood traces, led to his conviction and death sentence. Trawick had been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic with homicidal impulses in 1970, yet remained free to kill for decades.

    This is the story of a killer who described murder as a physical addiction, a man who walked Birmingham's streets for twenty years between his first kill and his capture. Trawick didn't fade into obscurity after his arrest. From death row, he launched a psychological warfare campaign against his victims' families through a murderabilia website, forcing grieving mothers to relive their nightmares. The case exposed massive failures in the mental health system and sparked a legislative battle that changed how we think about criminals profiting from their crimes.

  • The Birthday Cake Killers: Inside the 1973 Victor Massacre
    Jan 1 2026
    The Birthday Cake Killers: Inside the 1973 Victor Massacre

    In November 1973, Douglas Gretzler and Willie Steelman murdered nine people in Victor, California, including the Parkin family and their neighbors. The homicide investigation revealed a brutal massacre where victims Walter Parkin, Joanne Parkin, their children Lisa and Robert, Richard and Wanda Earl, their children Debbie and Ricky, and Mark Lang were systematically executed in their own home. This killing spree began in Arizona with multiple murders across the Southwest, totaling seventeen victims. The suspects used eyewitness elimination as their primary motive, leaving a trail of bodies from Phoenix to Sacramento before their arrest at the Clunie Hotel.

    Two drifters walked into a family home during a bowling night and turned it into the crime scene that would haunt a tiny California town forever. After shooting nine people, including two children, the killers sat down in the kitchen and ate birthday cake. This is the story of how a depressed kid from the Bronx and a brain-damaged ex-con from California formed one of the deadliest partnerships in American criminal history, racking up seventeen bodies in less than a month while crisscrossing the Southwest like their personal hunting ground.
