True crime fans have heard of the Ken and Barbie killers but almost no one has heard of Ricky Lee Green or Sharon Dollar and the hideous acts they committed against women for their own perverse fantasies. TW This case (and pretty much all our stories) is gory ...but you should know that by now kids. Except you should definitely not be a kid if you are listening to this. Don't have your kids nearby. We're not even sure it's okay to let your pets listen, those baby angels. Sources are below.

In this episode of Millennial Murders, hosts Stephanie and Natalia explore their cringe-worthy moments on video, discuss their snack cravings, and delve into their childhood interests in creepy stories. They then transition into a discussion about the infamous X-Files episode 'Home,' which was banned for its graphic content and inspired by real-life events, particularly the disturbing case of the Ward family. The conversation highlights the blurred lines between fiction and reality in true crime narratives. The conversation delves into the tragic story of the Ward brothers, focusing on the unusual living situation, the investigation following a death, the confession obtained under questionable circumstances, and the community's support for Delbert Ward. The discussion highlights the complexities of family dynamics, mental health issues, and the legal implications of the confession, ultimately reflecting on the legacy of the Ward brothers and the societal perceptions surrounding their case.

This week Natalia tells the story of Mark Kilroy, a college student on spring break in Mexico, whose disappearance ultimately led to uncovering the operations of a drug cartel cult practicing human sacrifice. Trigger warnings are heavy this week: gore, SA, substance abuse, and animal cruelty. But if you can stomach it, this is a story almost no one has ever told.

In this conversation, the hosts delve into the complexities of violence, particularly focusing on the case of Joel Rifkin, a notorious serial killer. They discuss the importance of emotional intelligence in parenting and the need for community support to prevent future violence. The conversation also touches on the long-standing mysteries surrounding missing persons and the emotional toll on families. Finally, the hosts emphasize the importance of travel and self-care as a means to recharge and find joy in life.

Bet you didn't know Norway was a global leader in oil, or that they put the 'death' in death metal. Join us this week as we talk about the wild times of heavy metal in the late 80s and early 90s. One band put themselves on the map not just through their music, but through their gruesome exits. *Special Trigger Warning* for this week - self harm, glorification of self harm, and suicide. If these issues are upsetting please do not listen, we'll see you another time; and if you or anyone you know needs help - reach out. You don't have to feel isolated in these subcultures - pain is universal and we encourage anyone who needs help to ask for it. Happy Halloween and stay safe.

988 is the number you can call or text (in the US) 24/7 for suicide and crisis, to speak with a trained counselor for free confidential support. Even a loved one can call for resources.
