From Nowhere: Isdal Woman

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 16:08:41 GMT

***EARLY RELEASE - HAPPY EASTER***

In November 1970, a hiker in the Isdalen valley outside Bergen, Norway, made a grim discovery: the burnt body of an unidentified woman, surrounded by an almost deliberately erased trail. Her labels had been cut from her clothes. Her passport photos showed her in disguise. She had checked into hotels under at least eight different aliases. Norwegian authorities ruled her death a suicide, but almost nothing else about her story is simple.

Who was the Isdal Woman? A spy? A smuggler? A victim? More than fifty years later, she remains one of Europe's most haunting unsolved mysteries. In this episode, we trace her final journey through Norway, examine the forensic breakthroughs that have brought us closer to the truth, and ask why a case this strange has gone unsolved for so long.

Some people disappear. Others are made to disappear. The Isdal Woman might be both.

Four Lives, Two Graves: McStay Family

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 04:00:00 GMT

The McStay family seemed to vanish into thin air. In February 2010, Joseph, Summer, and their two young sons disappeared from their California home without a trace, no signs of struggle, no goodbye, just an eerie silence. For years, investigators chased a theory that the family had voluntarily fled to Mexico, fueled by grainy border footage that appeared to show them crossing on foot. But behind that narrative was a far more disturbing truth. When the remains of the McStay family were discovered in the desert years later, buried in shallow graves, the case took a chilling turn...one that would expose betrayal, greed, and a killer hiding in plain sight.

He Said, She Said: Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka became known as two of the most disturbing and controversial offenders in Canadian history, an outwardly normal couple whose crimes shattered communities across Ontario. Behind closed doors, their relationship was rooted in manipulation, violence, and escalating depravity that led to the assault and murder of multiple young girls, including Karla’s own sister. Their crimes, committed between 1987 and 1992, exposed not only the depths of human cruelty, but also critical failures in the justice system that allowed their violence to continue longer than it should have.

What followed their arrest only deepened the outrage. A controversial plea deal saw Karla Homolka serve just 12 years in exchange for her testimony against Bernardo, who would ultimately receive life imprisonment, despite later evidence revealing her far greater involvement in the crimes. The case ignited national debate, raising uncomfortable questions about justice, accountability, and how evil can hide in plain sight. Decades later, the story of the so-called “Ken and Barbie Killers” remains one of Canada’s most haunting and polarizing cases.

Behind Dark Eyes: Susan Cox Powell

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 04:00:00 GMT

In December 2009, 28-year-old Susan Cox Powell vanished from her home in West Valley City, Utah, leaving behind her two young sons, her belongings, and a marriage that those closest to her knew was unraveling. What initially appeared to be a missing persons case quickly spiraled into something far more disturbing as investigators uncovered a web of control, obsession, and deeply unsettling family dynamics. As suspicion grew and the truth became harder to ignore, the case took a devastating turn that no one saw coming. In this episode, we break down the timeline, the warning signs, and the unanswered question that still lingers: what really happened to Susan Powell?

Purple Mountain Monster: Nyleen Marshall

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 04:00:00 GMT

In June 1983, four-year-old Nyleen Marshall vanished during a family picnic in the Elkhorn Mountains of Montana.

Children were playing along Maupin Creek while the adults talked nearby. It was the kind of place where parents felt safe letting kids wander for a few minutes. But when the other children turned around, Nyleen, who had been walking just behind them...was gone.

There were no screams. No signs of a struggle. Despite an enormous search involving helicopters, tracking dogs, divers, and hundreds of volunteers, investigators found nothing.

Then, two years later, the case took a chilling turn.

An anonymous man began sending letters claiming he had abducted Nyleen and was raising her under the name “Kay,” traveling with her across the United States and even overseas. Some of the details he shared were information only someone connected to the case should have known.

Was it the confession of her abductor… or a cruel hoax?

More than forty years later, the mystery of Nyleen Marshall’s disappearance remains unsolved.

I Don't Like Mondays: Brenda Ann Spencer

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 04:00:00 GMT

PRERECORDED

On the morning of January 29, 1979, children gathered outside Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, waiting for the gates to open. Across the street, a 16-year-old girl sat in her bedroom window with a rifle and began firing into the crowd.

Her name was Brenda Ann Spencer. When a reporter reached her by phone during the standoff and asked why she had done it, she gave a chilling answer that would echo around the world: I don't like Mondays.

In this episode of Triggered, we unravel the disturbing story behind one of the earliest modern school shootings in the United States, a case that shocked the world, inspired a famous song, and raised haunting questions about neglect, warning signs, and how a troubled teenager ended up turning a quiet Monday morning into tragedy.

The Pages She Left Behind: Tricia Todd

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 05:00:00 GMT

When Tricia Todd disappeared in April 2016, the story that followed sounded almost too bizarre to believe.

But Tricia had been quietly documenting her fears in a journal.

Page after page revealed a woman living in a marriage that was unraveling, one where fear, control, and suspicion were growing by the day. After she vanished, those journal entries would become some of the most chilling evidence investigators had. In this episode, we walk through the case of Tricia Todd and the haunting pages she left behind.

The Graveyard Farm: Robert William Pickton

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

In Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, women were disappearing: mothers, daughters, many of them Indigenous, many struggling, many dismissed. For years, families begged for answers while whispers spread through the streets that someone was hunting society’s most vulnerable.

On a pig farm in Port Coquitlam, Robert William Pickton was doing exactly that. This is the story of one of Canada’s most prolific serial killers and the devastating systemic failures that allowed a farm to become a graveyard.

MISSING: Noel Rodriguez

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Some cases fill the room with heaviness. The heartbreaking story of Noel Rodriguez is one of those cases.

In October 2022, six-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez disappeared from his home in Everman, Texas, but it would be months before anyone realized he was gone.

When authorities finally began asking questions, his mother claimed Noel was living in Mexico. Investigators say that wasn’t true. Soon after, she left the country with her family, without Noel, and was later charged with capital murder.

BFF's: Juliet Hulme & Pauline Parker

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

What happens when friendship stops being grounding… and starts becoming a closed world?

In 1954 Christchurch, two teenage girls found in each other something they believed no one else could understand; a bond built on imagination, loyalty, and a growing sense that they were set apart from everyone around them. Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme weren’t just friends. They were co-authors of a private universe where fantasies blurred with reality and where outsiders became obstacles.

As their connection deepened, warning signs were dismissed, relationships strained, and a shared narrative took hold, one that would end in a brutal act that shocked New Zealand and captivated the world. This episode traces the girls’ early lives, the intensity of their friendship, the psychological phenomenon of folie à deux, and the chilling path that led to one of the most infamous crimes of the 20th century.

Ransom in Blood: Marion Frances Parker

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

In 1927, twelve-year-old Marion Parker left her Los Angeles school early after being told her father had been injured in an accident.

It was a lie.

The man who signed her out was William Edward Hickman, a 19-year-old drifter with a history of petty crime and an obsession with money. What followed was one of the most shocking ransom cases in American history. A desperate father. Dozens of ransom notes. A city on edge. And a crime so grotesque it stunned even hardened detectives of the era.

Marion’s murder didn’t just devastate a family, it exposed vulnerabilities in school security, fueled a national media frenzy, and ignited debates about juvenile evil, psychopathy, and the limits of remorse.

Nightmare on Repeat: The Palmer Brothers

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Two brothers disappeared in Alaska under hauntingly different — yet equally baffling — circumstances. In 1999, Michael Palmer, just 15 years old, vanished after leaving a graduation party in the early morning hours. His bicycle was later found in the Little Susitna River, his shoes placed nearby, but Michael himself was never located despite extensive searches.

More than a decade later, tragedy struck again when his older brother, Chucky Palmer, disappeared while snowmachining in the Talkeetna Mountains. His machine was found stuck in deep snow — with no footprints, no tracks, and no clear direction of travel. In this episode, we examine the known facts, the unanswered questions, and the chilling reality of how two brothers seemingly vanished into the Alaskan wilderness without a trace.

Don't open that door: Jennifer Morey

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

In 1995, a 25-year-old lawyer went to sleep in her Houston apartment believing she was protected by every security measure money could buy.

She woke up to someone in her room.

What followed was a night of terror, instinct, and split-second decisions that would determine whether she lived or died. As Jennifer Morey fought to survive, one phone call — and one voice on the other end — changed everything.

This is a story about the illusion of safety, the danger of familiarity, and how listening to your instincts can mean the difference between life and death.

Forgotten: Joshlyn and Larry

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

In July 2021, what began as a routine traffic stop in Essex, Maryland became one of the most tragic and disturbing child death cases in recent memory.

During a late-night stop, a Baltimore County police officer noticed an overwhelming odor of decomposition coming from the trunk of a vehicle driven by Nicole Johnson. What was inside was far more horrifying than anyone expected: the decomposing remains of two young children — her 7-year-old niece, Joshlyn Johnson, and her 5-year-old nephew, Larry O’Neal.

No. You didn't : Appalachia

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMT

The Appalachian Mountains are older than bones. Older than trees. And according to the people who live there… they’re very much alive.

In this episode of Triggered, we’re diving deep into the unsettling lore of Appalachia — the kind of stories that aren’t meant for tourists, outsiders, or people who don’t listen when they’re warned.

From not-deer sightings and things that mimic human voices, to rules you’re expected to follow without ever being told why, Appalachia has a long history of don’t ask, don’t answer, don’t whistle after dark. These aren’t campfire stories. These are generational warnings.

Last Steps: Jessica Ridgeway

In this episode, we delve into one of the most heartbreaking and shocking child murder cases in recent U.S. history, the story of Jessica Ridgeway, a 10-year-old girl from Westminster, Colorado whose morning walk to school ended in tragedy. In October 2012, Jessica disappeared and sparked an intense search that drew in police, the FBI, and an entire community. Days later, her remains were found, and investigators pieced together a chilling trail that would lead to a 17-year-old suspect. We unpack the investigation, the breakthrough moments, the courtroom proceedings, and the impact of this crime on Jessica’s family and her community.

Join us as we explore not only the facts of the case but the emotional aftermath and the drive for justice that still resonates years later.

Uninvited: Jessica Sacco

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMT

In March 2012, Jessica Rae Sacco was a 21-year-old in Urbana, Ohio, trying to rebuild her life and rebuild her relationship with her mom. But online was where Jessica felt most comfortable. It was where she could meet people, find community… and where she met Matthew Puccio. At first, it looks like a messy, intense relationship. Then it becomes something much darker.

When Jessica stops responding and her Facebook goes silent, Sue’s worst fear kicks in… and what’s found inside that apartment turns this into a living nightmare.

This episode unpacks how a relationship that started online spiraled into control, isolation, and violence and how a group of “friends” can become something far more dangerous when nobody steps in.

We walk through the secret reports, the whispered warnings, and the internal church knowledge that never reached police… until it was too late.

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

BONUS RELEASE!

In December 2004, 23-year-old Bobbie Jo Stinnett was eight months pregnant, excitedly preparing for the arrival of her baby boy. She was kind, trusting, and deeply loved by her family and community.

The Christmas Eve Massacre: The Ortega's

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

On Christmas Eve 2008, a man dressed as Santa Claus walked up to a family home in Covina, California. Moments later, the front door exploded in gunfire, and what followed became one of the most horrifying mass murders in American history.

This is the story of Bruce Pardo: a bitter, unraveling man who turned a holiday meant for joy into a night of terror. Armed with a homemade flamethrower, multiple firearms, and a Santa suit, Pardo carried out a meticulously planned attack fueled by rage, rejection, and a desire for revenge.

In this episode of Triggered, we walk through the events of that night step by step: how Pardo prepared, what happened inside the house, the devastating aftermath, and the unanswered questions that still haunt survivors and investigators. This is a case about entitlement, obsession, and what happens when anger is allowed to fester in silence, until it explodes.

The Boy Next Door: Maddie Clifton

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

On November 3, 1998, eight-year-old Maddie Clifton vanished from her quiet Jacksonville neighbourhood after going out to play. For a full week, her family, friends, and an entire community searched every backyard, every ditch, every corner, desperate for any sign of the giggly little girl with the big brown eyes.

What no one knew was that Maddie had never left the street.

In this episode of Triggered, we walk through the chilling timeline of Maddie’s disappearance and the shocking discovery of her body. We’ll talk about the frantic search, the strange behavior that didn’t make sense until it was too late, the trial that forced people to confront the reality of a child who kills, and the questions that still haunt this case decades later: accident or something far darker?

Listener discretion is advised. This episode involves the murder of a child and may be upsetting to some listeners.

The Miracle of Alison Botha

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

In this episode of Triggered, we tell one of the most horrifying, and ultimately inspiring, survival stories in true crime history. In 1994, South African woman Alison Botha was abducted, brutally assaulted, and left for dead after a night out with friends. Her attackers slit her throat, disemboweled her, and abandoned her in a desolate area, convinced she wouldn’t live.

But Alison refused to die.

Through unimaginable pain and sheer force of will, she held her own body together and walked toward help—saving her own life and later helping authorities bring her attackers to justice. This is not just a story of violence. It’s a story of raw human survival, resilience, and what it means to choose to live when death is certain.

Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Welcome: The Cecil Hotel

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

THROWBACK EPISODE!

Welcome to the Cecil Hotel...you can check in but you may never leave.

For nearly a century, the Cecil Hotel has stood in the heart of Los Angeles as more than just a building. Its walls have absorbed tragedy, violence, disappearance, and death, each floor whispered with secrets, each room touched by something unsettling.

In this episode, we descend into the dark history of the Cecil. From its early days as a glamorous destination to its slow decay into a magnet for the vulnerable, the desperate, and, in some cases, the predatory. We’ll unravel the infamous residents, unexplained deaths, and the eerie patterns that seem to cling to the hotel like a stain that won’t fade.

Is the Cecil simply a reflection of its surroundings? Or is there something more ominous at work — a force that pulls certain people through its doors and refuses to let them leave alive?

Lights off. Doors locked. Let’s check in.

The Upside Down: Bryce Laspisa

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

In August 2013, 19-year-old college student Bryce Laspisa vanished without a trace on a dark stretch of California highway. His abandoned car, overturned near a remote lake, became the center of a chilling mystery filled with unanswered questions, erratic behavior, bizarre phone calls, and sightings that never quite made sense.

In this episode, we dive deep into the hours leading up to Bryce’s disappearance: the strange detours, the midnight conversations, the emotional unraveling, and the final moments where he was seen alive. And while we follow the facts, patterns, and theories that have haunted this case for over a decade, we also explore an unsettling possibility: that what happened to Bryce might not fit within the world we know.

Inspired by the eerie cultural pull of Stranger Things and the concept of “the upside down,” this episode examines whether Bryce’s disappearance was simply a tragic accident… or if the truth lives somewhere darker, stranger, and impossible to explain.

No body. No answers. No closure.

Just a young man who seemed to be slipping further and further from reality until he was gone.

"Not true...I failed": Gizzell Ford

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Eight-year-old Gizzell Ford had dreams, hopes, and a little diary where she wrote about wanting to be a “good girl” and make her family proud. Instead, her final months became a haunting record of unimaginable cruelty, captured in her own handwriting.

In this episode of Triggered, we walk through the heartbreaking story of Gizzell’s short life, the warning signs that were missed, and the horrifying events that unfolded inside a Chicago apartment where she should have been safe. You’ll hear the chilling entries from her diary, the disturbing family dynamics at play, and the investigation that uncovered the truth behind her injuries, her isolation, and the abuse that ultimately took her life.

This is an episode about resilience, systems that failed a child, and the justice that followed, but it’s also a reminder of why stories like Gizzell’s matter. Because children who can’t speak for themselves need us to speak for them.

Behind Closed Doors: Leila Fowler

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT

When 8-year-old Leila Fowler was found stabbed to death inside her family’s home in Valley Springs, California, her small community went into a full-blown panic. Neighbours armed themselves, parents kept their kids indoors, and deputies launched one of the largest manhunts the county had ever seen. Because according to Leila’s 12-year-old brother, an unknown intruder had slipped inside the house… and vanished.

But as investigators dug deeper, the story began to unravel. Witness statements shifted. Timelines blurred. Evidence didn’t quite add up. And the truth hiding behind the Fowler family’s walls was darker, and closer, than anyone wanted to believe.

In this episode of Triggered, we walk through the chaotic investigation, the fear that gripped an entire community, and the heartbreaking truth at the center of the Fowler home. This is the story of a little girl whose life was cut short… and the mystery that consumed a town.

Jolly Jane: The Woman Who Played God

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Jane Toppan: the so-called “Jolly” nurse who used charm, confidence, and a warm bedside manner to mask something far darker. Behind the smile was a woman who experimented on her patients, poisoned with precision, and confessed she wanted to kill more people than any man who ever lived.

In this episode, we unravel the trauma that shaped her, the victims who trusted her, and the psychology of a woman who believed she had the right to decide who lived and who died. This is the story of a caregiver turned predator… and the deadly power she believed she held over every life she touched.

Justice for Dakota: A Mother's Fight for Truth

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Imagine being told that your unarmed son who was shot point blank in the face "asked for it". It almost sounds too ludicrous to be true. But for Samantha, Aaron Dakota Biddle's mother, this was reality. In May 2018, while picking up his things from an ex-girlfriends house, Dakota was shot in the face and died instantly. The circus that followed his untimely death is truly astonishing.

Reasonable Doubt: Demons in the Courtroom

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT

What happens when the supernatural takes the stand?

In this episode of Triggered, we dive into real-life trials that blurred the line between crime and the unexplainable.

From Arne Cheyenne Johnson, the man who claimed demonic possession made him kill…to the Greenbrier Ghost, where a dead woman “testified” from beyond the grave…and the sleepwalking killers — Scott Falater and Kenneth Parks — who forced courts to ask what “intent” even means when the mind is asleep.

Join the gals as they chat about how the justice system wrestles with demons, ghosts, and the gray areas of human consciousness.

Were these defendants guilty — or haunted?

The Short King: PeeWee Gaskins

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Welcome to Season 2!!!

Donald “Pee Wee” Gaskins was one of the most sadistic serial killers in American history, but he didn’t start that way. Born into poverty in South Carolina, “Pee Wee” spent his early years bouncing between abuse, reform schools, and prison, where his hunger for control and violence began to grow. Over the decades, Gaskins would leave behind a trail of bodies, lies, and twisted confessions that blurred the line between truth and delusion.

In this episode, we trace the evolution of a man who called himself “the meanest man in America”, from small-town troublemaker to the so-called “Coastal Kills” that turned his name into a legend of terror.

Enfield: The House that Screamed

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 04:00:00 GMT

A family home in a quiet London suburb becomes the center of one of the most chilling hauntings ever documented. In 1977, the Hodgson family began experiencing the unexplainable, furniture levitating, violent knocks echoing through the walls, and a young girl speaking in a growling voice that wasn’t her own.

Investigators, skeptics, and journalists all witnessed activity that defied logic. Was it a troubled child seeking attention… or something darker, demanding to be heard?

In this episode of Triggered, we dive into the infamous Enfield Poltergeist case with a detailed, narrative retelling of every terrifying moment: the voices, the investigators, the controversy and the entity that refused to leave.

Lock your doors. Keep the lights on. And whatever you do… don’t answer if the house comes knocking.

The Freakshow: Lobster Boy and Dog Man

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 04:00:00 GMT

Two truly unsettling tales — one from the carnival ring and one from a quiet Arkansas street — both haunted by violence, deformity, and the darker side of spectacle.

First up: Grady Stiles Jr. He was born into the sideshow world, billed as “Lobster Boy” thanks to his ectrodactyly (claw-like extremities), and performed as part of a traveling carnival family. But stage lights can cast shadows: behind the act was alcoholism, abuse, murder of his daughter’s fiancé the night before the wedding, and ultimately his own gunning down—allegedly in a conspiracy involving his wife and stepson.

Then: Jarrell Floyd Bettis—aka “Dog Boy”—a childhood and adulthood marred by animal cruelty, alleged parental abuse, and the legends surrounding his house in Quitman, Arkansas. From tortured strays to locked-away parents, his story spirals into a home so feared that even today the house is rumored to be haunted.

We’ll explore both how spectacle and deformity became props for a harsh existence, how abuse and power dynamics played out in each story, and what these men’s ends tell us about the world they inhabited. Plus, we’ll ask: is it enough to say “weird”? Because this week, weird doesn’t even cover it.

Grab your headphones, adjust the lighting, and join us as we step into carnival shadows and suburban dread…

Flipping the Stereotype: Women Who Kill

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 04:00:00 GMT

Domestic abuse is often seen through one lens: men as perpetrators, women as victims. But the truth is far more complicated.

In this episode of Triggered, we flip the stereotype and uncover two disturbing cases where women were the abusers and their partners paid the ultimate price.

We explore the high-profile case of Courtney Tailor, the OnlyFans model who killed her boyfriend Christian Obumseli, and the lesser-known but equally harrowing story of Maureen Rickards, who tormented and murdered her husband Jeremy before hiding his body in their garden.

These cases force us to confront a difficult reality: abuse doesn’t always look the way we expect, and ignoring it can be deadly.

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 04:00:00 GMT

What happens when the hits don’t heal?

In this episode of Triggered, we uncover the dark side of sports and the devastating effects of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy)—a brain disease caused by repeated head trauma. CTE has been linked to memory loss, paranoia, aggression, and in some of the most chilling cases, murder.

We explore three infamous stories where CTE may have played a role in unthinkable violence:

Chris Benoit, the WWE superstar whose double murder-suicide shocked the wrestling world.
Phillip Adams, the former NFL player who killed six people in South Carolina before turning the gun on himself.
Aaron Hernandez, the Patriots tight end whose meteoric rise ended in paranoia, violence, and a prison cell.

Three men. Three crimes. One recurring connection.

Back to School, Into a Nightmare: The Gainesville Ripper

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 04:00:00 GMT

In the sweltering summer of 1990, Gainesville, Florida was paralyzed by terror. Over the course of just a few days, five students were brutally murdered in their own homes. The killer, later known as the Gainesville Ripper, didn’t just take lives, he staged his victims in ways designed to shock and horrify. But beyond the crimes themselves lies an even darker layer: his twisted partnership with crime writer Sondra London, a relationship that blurred the line between infamy, obsession, and exploitation. In this episode, we dive into the life of Danny Rolling, the man behind the mask, the chaos he unleashed, and the controversy that followed him all the way to his execution.

Warning! High-Risk Offender out in Canada

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 04:00:00 GMT

On December 13, 1987, 12‑year‑old Trina Campbell—living in a Brampton group home—didn’t return home from school. What followed would become one of Canada’s most chilling crime stories. The suspect, Douglas Robert Worth, a convicted rapist from Nova Scotia, had ominously warned authorities of his deadly intentions toward children—warnings that sadly went unheeded.

Over the next six harrowing months, Worth disposed of, retrieved, and repeatedly relocated Trina’s remains—his victim’s body moved like a grotesque trophy His own stepson and sister became crucial informants, tipping off investigators who launched surveillance operations that ultimately caught Worth in the act—with Trina’s head discovered in his car.

Convicted of second‑degree murder and sentenced to life in prison, Worth remained behind bars—until recently. Now, at age 73, he’s been granted parole and is living under strict conditions in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The Halifax Regional Police have alerted the public accordingly, emphasizing his “high-risk” status and barring any contact with children, along with other tight restrictions.

Nature or Nurture?: Twins

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 04:00:00 GMT

Is it science, coincidence, or something more mysterious? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of twin telepathy—those eerie moments when one twin just knows what the other is thinking, feeling, or experiencing, no matter the distance. From real-life stories that defy logic to the psychological and scientific theories that try to explain it all away, we explore what’s really going on between these seemingly connected minds. Are twins truly sharing thoughts… or is it just a lifetime of shared experiences playing tricks on us?

The Shunned: Lauren Stuart

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 04:00:00 GMT

They Left the Church. But the Church Never Left Them.

Lauren Stuart seemed to have it all—a beautiful family, a loving husband, and a picture-perfect life in a quiet Michigan suburb. But behind the front door, something far more sinister was festering. Years earlier, Lauren and Daniel made the difficult decision to leave the Jehovah’s Witnesses. They wanted freedom. But what they got instead was isolation, shame, and total excommunication from the only community they'd ever known.

Then one cold February morning in 2018, police responded to a welfare check and uncovered a scene so chilling it made national headlines. Lauren had murdered her husband, her two children, and then turned the gun on herself.

What drives a seemingly devoted mother to commit such an unthinkable act? Was this a calculated decision… or the final breaking point of a woman consumed by fear, trauma, and religious rejection?

In this episode, we unpack the layers of control, coercion, and quiet suffering that led to one family’s tragic end—and ask the haunting question: Who is really to blame when belief becomes a prison?

Locked Up Secrets: Dolly Oesterreich

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 04:00:00 GMT

Fred and Dolly Oesterreich appeared to be a typical upper-middle-class couple in 1920s Los Angeles. He was a hardworking factory owner. She was charming, social, and always impeccably dressed. Their home was comfortable, their life routine—until one summer night, when everything shattered.

Dolly said it started with a strange noise in the house. Minutes later, Fred was dead—shot three times in what she described as a robbery gone wrong. The crime scene left investigators puzzled, but with no suspects and no motive beyond what Dolly reported, the case faded… at first.

But over time, strange details began to surface. Questions that didn’t have easy answers. Why were some things in the home disturbed—but not stolen? Why did Dolly seem a little too prepared for what came next? And most importantly: what was she hiding?

The Wrong Path: The Columbo's

Fri, 30 May 2025 04:00:00 GMT

To the outside world, Patricia Columbo seemed like the girl next door—bright, pretty, from a well-respected family in a quiet Chicago suburb. But behind the surface was a dark obsession that would end in one of the most brutal family slayings in Illinois history.

When Patricia met Frank DeLuca, a much older, married man with ties to drugs and organized crime, their twisted romance spiraled into a shared fantasy of freedom—one that could only be achieved through murder. In May 1976, Patricia’s parents and younger brother were slaughtered in their home. The scene was so grotesque that seasoned investigators were left shaken. But who could commit such a personal, rage-filled crime… and why?

In this episode of Triggered, we peel back the layers of manipulation, seduction, and unchecked evil. Was Patricia a pawn in Frank’s violent world? Or was she the mastermind pulling every deadly string?

A Broken System: Basil Borutski

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:01:02 GMT

On September 22, 2015, Basil Borutski set out on a path of destruction, murdering three women—Carol Culleton, Anastasia Kuzyk, and Nathalie Warmerdam—in a calculated spree that shook Ontario.

In this episode, we unravel the disturbing history of Borutski, his violent past, and the many warning signs that were ignored. How did a man with multiple convictions for domestic abuse walk free, unchecked, and able to carry out such horrific crimes? And why does the justice system continue to let victims slip through the cracks?

The West Memphis Three case involves the wrongful conviction of Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. for the brutal 1993 murders of three young boys—Stevie Branch, Christopher Byers, and Michael Moore—in West Memphis, Arkansas. The prosecution's case was largely built on a coerced confession from Misskelley, who had a low IQ, and the defendants' interest in heavy metal music and Wicca, leading to a media-fueled satanic panic. Despite a lack of physical evidence connecting them to the crime, all three were convicted, with Echols receiving the death penalty.
