Morbid

The conclusion to our three part series on Brenda Schaefer’s murder is here. What goes down during the ice cream sting? Is Mary Ann Shore able to get Mel Ignatow to confess what really happened? There’s a lot to unpack here and that’s where we’ll start. This is going to be a wild, karma-filled ride with a twist and a half for an ending.

You’re gonna want to securely hold onto your butt for this one. Alainas breaking down the twilight murders, yes you read that right. Kim Edwards and Lucas Markham planned out the murder of Kim’s own Mother and sister and carried out the plan on the evening of April 13, 2016. The details of this case are brutal, gut wrenching and plain awful. Again, hold onto those bootys.

The first of two parts in the Brenda Sue Schaefer murder case. Brenda was a modest, hard working woman just looking for the right man to fall in love and enjoy life with. Unfortunately she met Mel Ignato instead. This installment we’re getting Ashcentric with it and talking about who Brenda was, what her first relationships were like and what the events were leading up to her disappearance. Of course we gotta leave you on a cliffhanger, but feel free to head to a chilli restaurant while you wait for part two! See you next week.

For the MEGA-Morbid this week Alaina dives into the real life, “Scream” murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart. Cassie was murdered by two friends and classmates, Torey Adamcik and Brian Draper, while she was house sitting in a big house in the middle of nowhere: everyone’s worst fear. These two jerks terrorized Cassie in her final hours all because they wanted to make a movie and know what it felt like to kill someone. Alaina roasts these Billy and Stu wanna-bes almost as hard as BTK as we cover what happened prior to, during and after the murder.

In May of 1995 Scott Amedure revealed his secret crush on The Jenny Jones Show to Jonathan Schmitz. The show was never aired, because the outcome was anything but expected. Jonathan snapped and shot Scott Amedure in his home just three days after the show. Throughout the episode we will discuss the negligence throughout the case on the part of the Jenny Jones Show, the gay panic defense and the the negative aspects of ambush television.

Looks at this! This is our very first virtual live show from July 23, 2020 held at AS220 in Providence RI. Alaina covers the Texarkana Moonlight Murders and goes over all the fine details with her 1940’s magnifying glass! Ash takes us to New Orleans and covers the Trunk Murders of the 1920s! Get ready for a wild ride back in time. We apologize for the somewhat subpar audio but we were at the mercy of someone else's microphones!

We finish up this spooky and mysterious case of at least 6 (definitely more) young women disappearing in an 80 mile radius in Ireland, with the disappearance of Ciara Breen, Fiona Sinnott and Deirdre Jacob. Two of these cases may have obvious answers and in this episode, we bring in a shady character who may have a lot to do with the other missing women. Larry Murphy is one of the most notorious rapists in Ireland and now, in 2020, authorities are about to close the net on him.

Specialist Vanessa Guillen went missing from Fort Hood Military Base on April 22, 2020. She was last seen at the armory and the last person she was seen working alongside was fellow soldier and specialist Aaron Robinson. Weeks before her disappearance, she told those closest to her that she had been dealing with a fellow soldier, a sergeant, that was sexually harassing her and she was ready to report it.



June 30, her dismembered, burned and mutilated remains were found crudely buried in quick cement/earth alongside the Leon River in Belton Texas. Robinson took his own life in an attempt to escape his crime but his girlfriend Cecily Aguilar confessed to her part in the brutal mutilation and disposal of the body of a US soldier. Details of the crime and the following weeks are confusing and suspicious. Is there a coverup? Regardless of the truth, this brings to light the broader issue of reporting sexual assault in the military and Vanessa's family is trying to make sure those that defend our country are safe to report these issues without fear of repercussions.
