Morbid

In our really long conclusion to this head scratcher, we can't promise a neatly tied up ending, but we can promise that you will be much better equipped to formulate your own thoughts about what happened the night that Phoebe Handsjuk met her tragic end. We discuss the night of her death further, the reactions of those closest to her and dive into the most bonkers police investigation and coroner's inquest that you could ever imagine. This is a crazy ride, mates.

Come on down to Alabama where Jesse “Madison” Holton is raising hell, keeping his parents on their toes and about to take a trip to juvie. That is, until his parents are both killed in what he claims was a tragic murder/suicide. Was it as it seemed or did a troubled teen rid himself of what he saw as the problem? This is one that we still can’t quite figure out.

It’s another Australian madness episode!

In this 2 part series, we will take a deep dive into the mysterious, gruesome and tragic death of Phoebe Handsjuk. The vibrant, beautiful and talented 23 year old died horrifically when she somehow plunged from a 12th floor garbage shoot in a luxury apartment building, all the way onto the bottom floor, where she passed through a compactor before being spat out in a scene straight out of a horror film.

Part 1 will dissect her early life, her tumultuous relationship and her tragic death. Stay tuned for Part 2 where we go deeper into her death, the physics of it all and her family and friends’ never-ending mission to find out the truth.

This story is one that needs to be told. Jennifer Morey survived everyone’s worst nightmare by using her strength, will and a little help from a brilliant and composed 911 dispatcher. This is a terrifying tale but we promise it has a happy ending.

This is just good, old western fun. By fun, we mean complete carnage and horror. Come back to the 1800s with us as we travel to early America’s humble beginnings where one family systematically butchered travelers who mistook their predatory existence for kindness. The Bloody Benders is a trip worth taking, but just don’t sit at the table when they forcibly suggest it to you. Don’t do it.

I know we have slammed you with a couple of truly heavy cases and this one is definitely tough as well, but what sets this one apart is the ending. While it’s by no means a truly happy tale, there is a sense of satisfaction in the end.

Angela Samota was a brilliant and vivacious college student whose life was tragically cut short when she was raped and murdered in her home in 1984. The investigation that follows takes some twists and turns before ending up at a shocking conclusion that proves no one can stop a determined best friend.

This was an unexpected two-parter but the details of this absolutely bonkers and tragic tale were too fascinating to neglect. In Part 1 we cover the downward spiral of 12 year-old Jasmine Richardson and her plummet into darkness after meeting self professed 300 year-old werewolf, Jeremy Steinke. We end this first part with the tragic murders of Jasmine’s family. Fair warning, there is a child involved in this horrific case.

In this Ash-centric Mini Morbid episode, we take a look into the bizarre, spooky and tragic tale of Daniel LaPlante who hides in your wall and wears your makeup.
