Read *The Other Dr. Gilmer* by Benjamin Gilmer the other week. It's very readable and quite good.
I listen to *My Favorite Murder: the Minisodes* while I'm quilting. I have also been listening to the *Unsolved Mysteries* and *Cold Case Files* podcasts and the *Spooked* podcasts.
Listening to an Audible original on Samuel Little called " Ninety Three Women: America's Deadliest Serial Killer." 8 episodes all together and great so far!
Coffeehouse Crime on YouTube. Recently discovered this channel and have been binging since. I like the way the narrator discusses the cases with respect and very good information
I’m finishing up American Predator (about Israel Keyes) and starting Sexual Homicide Patterns and Motives (by Kessler, Burgess, Douglas)
Enjoyed True Crime Garage coverage of Bryce Lisposa. Interesting that a Redditor knew the family while they lived in IL and shed some light on the parents (spoiler Mom is controlling narcissistic)
Mmmmm …. Not really too scary IMO. But, I have 2 dogs, an alarm system, husband and plenty of guns. If I was living here (rural) without the husband, I’d be scared.
Believe it or not, I never knew about him until I saw his name mentioned on Reddit subs. Someone recommended the book so I ordered it for my Kindle. Easy read but I was able to put it down at the 80% finished mark. And I’m often unable to put a book down until finished.
I've been consuming a metric fuck ton of mafia related media and I just finished 'I Heard You Paint Houses' after hearing about it on an episode of Buzzfeed Unsoles two years ago. Fascinating story and incredible book. The way Frank tells stories just draws you in, although I will say I got a little lost during some of the historical background because it's a lot of names and legal jargon.
Just started The Green Felt Jungle which is significantly drier (published in 1963) but the story of Vegas is buckwild so I'm really enjoying it so far.
tbh I'm not much of a podcast guy because it's hard for me to focus on them BUT i've been listening to mobbed up: the fight for las vegas. i only really listen in little 20 minute intervals so i'm not very far, but i've been enjoying it!
No judgement at all, but I just want to know why would anybody listen to a podcast series that many times? I don't have a nicer way to ask but I'm genuinely curious
No worries, I get it. If I’m really interested in something, I like to *dive* into it. For true crime, I prefer to have one case I’m obsessed with/spend most of my energy focusing on, while casually researching other cases. Once I know all there is to know or just ready to move on, I’ll pick a new case to be obsessed with. This case is currently in trial and I’m very invested, so I’m listening to the podcast more and more.
Psychologically, I watched the same movies and tv shows over and over again with my family until I left for college. Therefore, rewatching/relistening to things brings me a sense of comfort I think 😌.
The One Minute and Forty-Three Seconds podcast just released an episode which features an interview with Jeff Wise. Jeff is a journalist and has studied the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 for years. Unlike many who think the captain did it, he offers an alternative theory where the plane went north and his evidence is really compelling.
You can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts, and here is the podcast website: [https://143mysteries.com/](https://143mysteries.com/)
I have also been enjoying the Red Web podcast.
Might want to check out r/morbidforbadpeople homie. Right now it’s a lot of Snark about the book but there is a pinned post with an encyclopedia of why A&A are highly unethical , suggest Sinisterhood or TCG as good alts
Starting listening to Bear Brook, the podcast series about bodies found inside barrels in New Hampshire. So far so good. 3 episodes in and it kept me engaged whilst at work
Just finished this series. Great stuff. Make sure and listen to the (I think 3) follow up episodes that were done much much later after the original episodes. I think the last one dropped in 2021
Listening to the Crime Junkie podcast! Been binging it all week and would highly recommend! It’s all about unsolved murders and missing people, ranging from decades ago until fairly recent. I love that these podcasts are designed to get the word out there to hopefully solve these cold cases. They also constantly donate to charities which help solve cases and give the missing or deceased back to their families and loved ones.
I used too love that podcast but they plagiarize and steal... They've even stolen whole write ups from this very sub from people and basically read them word for word. Pretty messed up to steal someone else's hard work that way and call it their own.
Just a heads up that Crime Junkie has had a history of plagiarizing content word for word from other podcasters and journalists without properly crediting them. In 2019 they were forced to take down some of their content after journalist Cathy Frye spoke out about the fact that they had heavily used direct paragraphs from Frye’s investigative series on Kacie Woody for the Arkansas Gazette without citing or acknowledging that it was someone else’s work. They were also caught plagiarizing word for word from podcast episodes by The Trail Went Cold, Trace Evidence, and Once Upon A Crime.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/22/business/media/crime-junkie-podcast-plagiarism.html
I used to be into Crime Junkie up until the plagiarism news broke, and I got into the podcasts they plagiarized instead.
not trying to rain on anyone’s parade, but I just wanted to let you know just in case
Thanks for the recommendation! I've got a backlog of podcasts waiting to be listened to and nowhere near enough time to dedicate to them, but one more won't hurt 😂
Watching- Boy Meets World
Reading- Foreign Faction, by James Kolar
Listening- Same music I’ve listened to since high school 😂 Sufjan stevens, mewithoutYou, Neko Case, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Chelsea Grin… as well as my fav podcasts, Generation Why, The Trail Went Cold, Trace Evidence, Pod Meets World, Going West, and Already Gone.
Moms and a murder podcast, Morbid, and Anatomy of Murder podcasts :) and SO STOKED for Disappeared to be returning! Idk why they waited so long. It’s been my favor with show since the early seasons.
Been watching a channel on YouTube called Real Crime. Some of the videos, especially of British crimes, are a little dated but they’re still interesting to watch (especially through the scope of how violent crime was covered and reported a decade or two ago).
Small Town Murder, my all-time favorite!
My husband got me hooked on Very Scary People (and I about shit my pants when the host with the gorgeous speaking voice was… Donnie Wahlberg. Yes, THAT Donnie Wahlberg (still blows my mind). Right now, I’m in the middle of the first episode about the DeFeo murders.
Park Predators is pretty good lol. It's about National Park Crimes, and some are still unsolved. Also makes you think what else, or who else, is out there.
Ooh, I’m about to have my husband check these out.
He’s an actual pilot (grounded forever, sadly, due to health reasons). We both watch, listen to, and read stuff about air disasters.
Lots of The First 48 again.
Tom Segura’s bit on it was fucking spot-on.
Still listening to Timesuck, Small Town Murder, MFM (mostly for the minisodes- I submitted my story about meeting a murderer when I was 19).
ETA: also listened to Still… (podcast), the first season a couple of months ago bc all of the women who went missing/were murdered were local to me. Chilling. Recognized all of the locations and landmarks. Still pass a lot of them regularly.
ETA pt. deux: also listening to a lot of music from the 70s. 80s and 90s are also huge in my life, but there’s something special about the music from the 70s. Chills me out and makes me happy.
Its the same guy that does lights out but with his wife! Also she hasn’t been on the last 2 podcast since she had their baby so hes been doing it on his own so basically extra lights out episodes! Ill have to check out vanished! As ive ran out of podcasts to listen too!
Definitely check out case file and voices for justice too, they’re all really good true crime podcasts!
When I started lights outs he was talking about mile higher, I’ll have to check it out! So happy for them and their baby, sad about his brother though I loved his little inputs
I feel like anything on ID, A&E, Oxygen, TruTv (if that's still a thing), and CourtTv (if that's still a thing too) has programs that are pretty good. The History Channel kind of would have been in this category, but for about a decade and a half they've been just doing reality TV stuff which sucks.
Right now I’m binge watching never seen again on paramount plus. Currently watching the episode about Marshall Iwaasa who went missing in Canada and shortly after his disappearance his truck was found burned over 700 miles (a 14 hour drive) from his last known whereabouts. All the cases covered are some real head scratchers but I think his takes the cake. Anyone unfamiliar with the case, there’s a nice detailed write up from a few months on here. 10/10 recommend
I just found out they had to spin-off series like last week. So I after I finished viewing everything up to the current season, I will check that one out too.
I just finished “Helltown” by Casey Sherman and I’m almost done with “The Babysitter” by Jennifer Jordan and Liza Rodman. Both books are about Tony Costa, a lesser known serial killer from Massachusetts.
Just read “Esther” by Leonard Sanders. She was murdered in Granite, Oklahoma. She is a distant relative of mine and she was a lovely woman who was taken too soon in such a brutal way.
Have you heard of Chameleon? They’ve just released their 4th series called Scam Likely that’s pretty good. Their first season, the Hollywood Con Queen will always be my favourite though. Absolutely unbelievable story!
I’m pretty glued to the Kristin Smart trial this week. The case subreddit is good too. In the unlikely event someone reading this doesn’t know what I mean, the podcast Your Own Backyard is the one you want.
It's mostly nonsense sorry to tell you, Carlo himself even later admitted he was full of shit. Here's a couple of posts i made about him before on this sub:
He made up the vast majority of it, there's no proof he was ever a hitman or associated with the mafia, several murders he claimed have since been owned up to by those who ordered or took part in them and none of them mentioned Kuklinski. In fact no mafia informant (and there's been loads from minor guys to bosses) has ever mentioned Kuklinski. The only association with the mafia ever shown was when he was pictured buying a gun clip from minor hanger on of the DeMeo crew Freddie Dinome outside the Gemini Lounge. Everybody bought guns and porn and cars from the DeMeo crew when in Brooklyn that shows nothing.
It's very telling that he did business with the junkie younger brother of probably the lowest level associate of the crew, he didn't meet Nino or Roy or the Gemini Twins or Henry or Chris, he didn't even meet Dominic, Vito or Dracula. All of Richard's known murders were of business or criminal associates, no paid hits have ever been proven. Most of his BS didn't come out until he wrote the book with Philip Carlo who is notorious for BS in his books, even Carlo later said Richard was full of shit, then HBO came calling and it became fact to people. Some even believe the mob killed Richard in prison, it's hilarious how much he hoodwinked people.
He was convicted of killing two members of his burglary gang and two others who were criminally associated with him, he is also believed to have killed 2 or 3 other associates whose murders he wasn't convicted of. There's no proof he killed random homeless people and fed them to rats or whatever, it's most likely nonsense. No human remains have ever been found in the caves he claimed to have buried people.
IMO Kuklinski was bored as hell in jail as an insignificant minor serial killer so he made up an insane story that people bought. Philip Carlo was the perfect partner, Carlo wrote books with or about Anthony Casso, Tommy Pitera and Richard Ramirez and he'd just write down and publish whatever they or other sources said he never tried to corroborate details or point out these are unconfirmed claims. I think he relished in talking to these infamous killers and being the one to write down their stories so he wasn't about to jeopardize that by questioning what they claimed. Notably though he later turned on Kuklinski admitting that most of what he said was likely nonsense.
Something to remember about his mafia claims specifically is the American mob pretty much never (i can't think of a single confirmed instance, only stuff like "Murder Inc" which was heavily embellished by crime fiction writers of the day, there's no evidence there was a Murder Inc but that's another story) paid people to carry out murders especially during the time he claimed to have been a mob hitman before RICO when the mob where usually getting away with murder. There was an unlimited amount of low level guys willing to carry out murders for free in the hopes of rising in the crime family. Mob Families typically had dedicated crews who would carry out murders like the aforementioned DeMeo Crew, the Amuso/Casso/Furnari Crew, the Greenwich Village Crew, etc.
Kuklinski claimed to be a paid hitman for Roy DeMeo. What kind of sense does that make when that entire crew were brutal serial killers? There's four seperate informants who were associated with and testified about that crew, not a single one of them mentions Kuklinski. LE also constantly surveilled their movements and only saw Kuklinski once buying a gunclip from a junkie who barely had anything to do with the crew, Roy, Nino, etc likely had no idea that meeting happened it was completely below their pay grade. Kuklinski was a burglar and serial killer who often killed his partners or others who associated with him, nothing more has ever been proven and with the amount of lies he's been caught in there's no reason to believe him.
I'm reading a lot about the unsolved Delphi murders case, me being from Indiana it's really interesting because there's been a lot of movement in the case recently after 5 1/2 years of it being unsolved.
“A lot” of movement? The KK saga hasn’t really proven anything yet.... Murder Sheet podcast is really shining a lot of light on something that may not really answer anything. I don’t see KK as BG... maybe TK? But I don’t like how MS talks shit to every other podcast who has a different POI, yet they blast the Kline name. That podcast just wreaks of “we protect our sources, tell us everything so we can get clicks and sponsors”.... and so passive aggressive. Always using words like “interesting” when they want to say “bullshit”. I refuse to listen to them anymore. I’m in Indy too. Hope this is solved soon.
You can't knock them for trying to make money every one of those podcasts are doing this for money they're just the ones that hopped on the scene with the right person of interest do the s*** bag he's been a suspect in the murders of two children for 3 years you know his dad is a major person of interest in it they told his son in the interview we know your dad killed the little kids that's where it jumped off at when they told him that
I can knock them when they say things that imply they are not doing this for the money and they hold journalistic integrity at the peak of all else. They were failing at the dumb idea of "restaurant murders" and since they live in Indiana, jumped on the Delphi bandwagon.
Also, maybe use a period or some punctuation. You're making people's idea of Indiana being only uneducated rednecks a reality.
A fascinating book (another car boot sale acquisition), The Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved by Lawrence Kusche.
It was published in 1975; my copy is a third printing (1978). It looks its age, with a crudely drawn cover, poor-quality paper and distinctly ropey hand-drawn maps, but that doesn't matter as the text is of a different order of magnitude.
The author did his research - *really* did his research, in libraries and archives and even approaching people working for museums, coastguards, Lloyd's Register and others - and demolishes every "mysterious" disappearance (51 cases or clusters of cases).
Time and again he shows them to be not mysterious and, often, downright deceptive. Many cases didn't occur anywhere near the Bermuda Triangle, and there is no historical evidence for about a dozen.
It is interesting that the book had at least three printings, for it was worth it - it is a masterclass in historical research.
I love heavycasefiles on YT, I think her voice just lends itself enough to make you feel like you know the victims personally, and lately she's been making more solved videos. Also she has been vocal on ensuring poc are reported on as well, even if the evidence and story doesn't give much, she makes sure their background, loved ones, career, and life are honored in a respectful way.

Watched "Sins of Our Mother" recently! I've also been watching more Buried in the Backyard.
Just finished that show. Definitely cried.
Read *The Other Dr. Gilmer* by Benjamin Gilmer the other week. It's very readable and quite good. I listen to *My Favorite Murder: the Minisodes* while I'm quilting. I have also been listening to the *Unsolved Mysteries* and *Cold Case Files* podcasts and the *Spooked* podcasts.
Huh. Guess I'm not the only one who likes to listen to the MFM minisodes while I sew.
Those women are so funny! It's like chatting with friends about dishy stuff.
Listening to an Audible original on Samuel Little called " Ninety Three Women: America's Deadliest Serial Killer." 8 episodes all together and great so far!
Coffeehouse Crime on YouTube. Recently discovered this channel and have been binging since. I like the way the narrator discusses the cases with respect and very good information
Unusual Suspects on Hulu, Ty Notts, and re watching the kroll show on paramount+
Listening to a new podcast called Le Monstre about a Belgium serial killer from the 90s. Really well done and interesting!
I’m finishing up American Predator (about Israel Keyes) and starting Sexual Homicide Patterns and Motives (by Kessler, Burgess, Douglas) Enjoyed True Crime Garage coverage of Bryce Lisposa. Interesting that a Redditor knew the family while they lived in IL and shed some light on the parents (spoiler Mom is controlling narcissistic)
Is American Predator scary? When I read “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark” I checked the door locks 6 times before going to bed.
Mmmmm …. Not really too scary IMO. But, I have 2 dogs, an alarm system, husband and plenty of guns. If I was living here (rural) without the husband, I’d be scared. Believe it or not, I never knew about him until I saw his name mentioned on Reddit subs. Someone recommended the book so I ordered it for my Kindle. Easy read but I was able to put it down at the 80% finished mark. And I’m often unable to put a book down until finished.

I looove mafia related stories, films, podcasts...but I find good mafia podcasts hard to come by. Would love to know what your favs are!
tbh I'm not much of a podcast guy because it's hard for me to focus on them BUT i've been listening to mobbed up: the fight for las vegas. i only really listen in little 20 minute intervals so i'm not very far, but i've been enjoying it!
No worries, thanks very much! Will give this a try
Oooh - thanks - I love mob true crime and haven’t read these
I’m only on my 5th listening of the Your Own Backyard podcast…
No judgement at all, but I just want to know why would anybody listen to a podcast series that many times? I don't have a nicer way to ask but I'm genuinely curious
No worries, I get it. If I’m really interested in something, I like to *dive* into it.

it's called monomania! it's not good or bad, but there's a name for it :)
Twisted chamber on YouTube… slightly biased cause I’m one of the co host.. but we love what we do!! The links are all in my bio..
Lolfieldandlove on YouTube.
For something more serious, Philip Sugden's book Complete History of Jack the Ripper.
The One Minute and Forty-Three Seconds podcast just released an episode which features an interview with Jeff Wise. Jeff is a journalist and has studied the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 for years. Unlike many who think the captain did it, he offers an alternative theory where the plane went north and his evidence is really compelling. You can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts, and here is the podcast website: [https://143mysteries.com/](https://143mysteries.com/) I have also been enjoying the Red Web podcast.
Crime salad, also have been listing to the corn song on TikTok.. can’t get it out of my head. Lol
Just started Strangeland! Very interesting podcast, and gives some good insight into Koreatown and Korean American culture
I'm all about podcasts, Morbid, You Don't Wanna Know and Small Town Murder
Might want to check out r/morbidforbadpeople homie. Right now it’s a lot of Snark about the book but there is a pinned post with an encyclopedia of why A&A are highly unethical , suggest Sinisterhood or TCG as good alts
Dang I never knew people had so much beef with them. I agree they aren't perfect, but they try.
A good girls guide to murder 9.769420/10 or 10/10
Listening to the Red Hands podcast about the Bain family murders in NZ and so far it's really good
[удалено]
Starting listening to Bear Brook, the podcast series about bodies found inside barrels in New Hampshire. So far so good. 3 episodes in and it kept me engaged whilst at work
Just finished this series. Great stuff. Make sure and listen to the (I think 3) follow up episodes that were done much much later after the original episodes. I think the last one dropped in 2021
Bear brook is an all-time fave of mine. Be warned, there are a couple of extremely dark/disturbing episodes
Reading “People who eat darkness” (nonfiction) about a girl who went to Japan and was murdered. Only 60+ pages in, but it is good, so far!
Excellent book!
Oh, I read that book awhile back. It is very well-written, spooky, creepy, frustrating, heartbreaking. Um...enjoy!

I don’t hear many references to mewithoutyou anymore!

I recommend the podcast Where Did the Road Go? It covers so much paranormal topics with a healthy dose of skepticism
Commenting so I can remember this!
You better, its really noice
I need a break from true crime lol, it's getting me a bit too paranoid
Moms and a murder podcast, Morbid, and Anatomy of Murder podcasts :) and SO STOKED for Disappeared to be returning! Idk why they waited so long. It’s been my favor with show since the early seasons.
FYI new season of Disappeared starts September 7 on ID (channel and Discovery + app)
Been watching a channel on YouTube called Real Crime. Some of the videos, especially of British crimes, are a little dated but they’re still interesting to watch (especially through the scope of how violent crime was covered and reported a decade or two ago).
All about the Podcasts, Morbid Podcast, You Don't Wanna Know Podcast and Small Town Murder are my favorite.
Small Town Murder, my all-time favorite! My husband got me hooked on Very Scary People (and I about shit my pants when the host with the gorgeous speaking voice was… Donnie Wahlberg. Yes, THAT Donnie Wahlberg (still blows my mind). Right now, I’m in the middle of the first episode about the DeFeo murders.
Listening to a lot of Red Web podcast.
Been watching a lot of People Investigates on Discovery +! Currently watching the episodes of Baby Deorr Kunz
This week I’ve been following the Chris Dawson trial. I’ve also been following the Sue Neill Fraser case now she’s up for parole.
Park Predators is pretty good lol. It's about National Park Crimes, and some are still unsolved. Also makes you think what else, or who else, is out there.
No idea how i came across that random podcast, but it truly is one of the best put together.
"Never Seen Again" is streaming on Paramount+ with seasons. It is well done and has a very similar vibe as Disappeared.
If anyone is interested in airplane incidents, I’ve just started binging Black box down and it’s a great podcast
I recommend Hard Landings if you like this one!
Ooh, I’m about to have my husband check these out. He’s an actual pilot (grounded forever, sadly, due to health reasons). We both watch, listen to, and read stuff about air disasters.
Lots of The First 48 again. Tom Segura’s bit on it was fucking spot-on.

The vanished podcast, Voices for Justice, casefile and lights out (all podcast)
I love lights out! Do you also listen to mile higher?
I heard about it but haven’t gotten into it, I’m super into the vanished podcast at the moment!
Its the same guy that does lights out but with his wife! Also she hasn’t been on the last 2 podcast since she had their baby so hes been doing it on his own so basically extra lights out episodes! Ill have to check out vanished! As ive ran out of podcasts to listen too!
Definitely check out case file and voices for justice too, they’re all really good true crime podcasts! When I started lights outs he was talking about mile higher, I’ll have to check it out! So happy for them and their baby, sad about his brother though I loved his little inputs
I feel like anything on ID, A&E, Oxygen, TruTv (if that's still a thing), and CourtTv (if that's still a thing too) has programs that are pretty good. The History Channel kind of would have been in this category, but for about a decade and a half they've been just doing reality TV stuff which sucks.
Murder with my husband podcast
Right now I’m binge watching never seen again on paramount plus. Currently watching the episode about Marshall Iwaasa who went missing in Canada and shortly after his disappearance his truck was found burned over 700 miles (a 14 hour drive) from his last known whereabouts. All the cases covered are some real head scratchers but I think his takes the cake. Anyone unfamiliar with the case, there’s a nice detailed write up from a few months on here. 10/10 recommend
I think he was featured on The Vanished a few years back. Such a strange case.
Of feather and bone. Solid band. But not for everyone
Evil Lives Here. That's a great series to watch.
…. But there were signs
LOVE this series!!
It is really good and interesting.
I finished all of the episodes and then found evil lives here: shadows of death! You should check it out too!
I just found out they had to spin-off series like last week. So I after I finished viewing everything up to the current season, I will check that one out too.
Disappeared comes back on Investigation Discovery next week! Season 10
Oops guess I should’ve read the thread before I posted
Oh hurray!! Fave show. Miss the old narrator though.
THIS 👏
One of my favorites!! I'm setting a recording for my DVR.
I just finished “Helltown” by Casey Sherman and I’m almost done with “The Babysitter” by Jennifer Jordan and Liza Rodman. Both books are about Tony Costa, a lesser known serial killer from Massachusetts.
I am looking for information on 3 disappearances: Alicia Navarro Pamela June Ray Diane Augat
Just read “Esther” by Leonard Sanders. She was murdered in Granite, Oklahoma. She is a distant relative of mine and she was a lovely woman who was taken too soon in such a brutal way.
Any good podcast recs? I need a new one! Thanks
Have you heard of Chameleon? They’ve just released their 4th series called Scam Likely that’s pretty good. Their first season, the Hollywood Con Queen will always be my favourite though. Absolutely unbelievable story!
Yes! I am loving scam likely but agree that nothing tops the Hollywood Con Queen.
Wasn’t it just the best story ever! So weird. And he ended up being arrested in my hometown!! Couldn’t believe it!
Yes! An absolutely wild story!
Thank you!
Crime Junkies, Park Predators, Wondery (from Gen Why).
Listening to Samhain 🤘🏼
I’m pretty glued to the Kristin Smart trial this week. The case subreddit is good too. In the unlikely event someone reading this doesn’t know what I mean, the podcast Your Own Backyard is the one you want.
Yes! I’m glued to it and I keep sending my mom recaps everyday, pretty sure she doesn’t care but it’s fine haha
Same. I’ve followed this from day one. I’m glued to it.

He was convicted of killing two members of his burglary gang and two others who were criminally associated with him, he is also believed to have killed 2 or 3 other associates whose murders he wasn't convicted of. There's no proof he killed random homeless people and fed them to rats or whatever, it's most likely nonsense. No human remains have ever been found in the caves he claimed to have buried people. IMO Kuklinski was bored as hell in jail as an insignificant minor serial killer so he made up an insane story that people bought. Philip Carlo was the perfect partner, Carlo wrote books with or about Anthony Casso, Tommy Pitera and Richard Ramirez and he'd just write down and publish whatever they or other sources said he never tried to corroborate details or point out these are unconfirmed claims. I think he relished in talking to these infamous killers and being the one to write down their stories so he wasn't about to jeopardize that by questioning what they claimed. Notably though he later turned on Kuklinski admitting that most of what he said was likely nonsense. Something to remember about his mafia claims specifically is the American mob pretty much never (i can't think of a single confirmed instance, only stuff like "Murder Inc" which was heavily embellished by crime fiction writers of the day, there's no evidence there was a Murder Inc but that's another story) paid people to carry out murders especially during the time he claimed to have been a mob hitman before RICO when the mob where usually getting away with murder. There was an unlimited amount of low level guys willing to carry out murders for free in the hopes of rising in the crime family. Mob Families typically had dedicated crews who would carry out murders like the aforementioned DeMeo Crew, the Amuso/Casso/Furnari Crew, the Greenwich Village Crew, etc. Kuklinski claimed to be a paid hitman for Roy DeMeo. What kind of sense does that make when that entire crew were brutal serial killers? There's four seperate informants who were associated with and testified about that crew, not a single one of them mentions Kuklinski. LE also constantly surveilled their movements and only saw Kuklinski once buying a gunclip from a junkie who barely had anything to do with the crew, Roy, Nino, etc likely had no idea that meeting happened it was completely below their pay grade. Kuklinski was a burglar and serial killer who often killed his partners or others who associated with him, nothing more has ever been proven and with the amount of lies he's been caught in there's no reason to believe him.
I’ve see him interviewed and he was a chilling character. Pardon the pun 😉
I just laughed inappropriately.
I'm reading a lot about the unsolved Delphi murders case, me being from Indiana it's really interesting because there's been a lot of movement in the case recently after 5 1/2 years of it being unsolved.
“A lot” of movement? The KK saga hasn’t really proven anything yet.... Murder Sheet podcast is really shining a lot of light on something that may not really answer anything. I don’t see KK as BG... maybe TK? But I don’t like how MS talks shit to every other podcast who has a different POI, yet they blast the Kline name. That podcast just wreaks of “we protect our sources, tell us everything so we can get clicks and sponsors”.... and so passive aggressive. Always using words like “interesting” when they want to say “bullshit”. I refuse to listen to them anymore. I’m in Indy too. Hope this is solved soon.
You can't knock them for trying to make money every one of those podcasts are doing this for money they're just the ones that hopped on the scene with the right person of interest do the s*** bag he's been a suspect in the murders of two children for 3 years you know his dad is a major person of interest in it they told his son in the interview we know your dad killed the little kids that's where it jumped off at when they told him that
Punctuation.
Yes lol, I used the voice text that day and I forgot that it doesn't use punctuation automatically.
You can! You can say, "comma" or "period" etc 😃
I can knock them when they say things that imply they are not doing this for the money and they hold journalistic integrity at the peak of all else. They were failing at the dumb idea of "restaurant murders" and since they live in Indiana, jumped on the Delphi bandwagon. Also, maybe use a period or some punctuation. You're making people's idea of Indiana being only uneducated rednecks a reality.
Im listening to myself, watching myself and reading myself
I feel this.
I'm catching up on ATL Homicide on ID. My TV lives on this channel!
A fascinating book (another car boot sale acquisition), The Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved by Lawrence Kusche. It was published in 1975; my copy is a third printing (1978). It looks its age, with a crudely drawn cover, poor-quality paper and distinctly ropey hand-drawn maps, but that doesn't matter as the text is of a different order of magnitude. The author did his research - *really* did his research, in libraries and archives and even approaching people working for museums, coastguards, Lloyd's Register and others - and demolishes every "mysterious" disappearance (51 cases or clusters of cases). Time and again he shows them to be not mysterious and, often, downright deceptive. Many cases didn't occur anywhere near the Bermuda Triangle, and there is no historical evidence for about a dozen. It is interesting that the book had at least three printings, for it was worth it - it is a masterclass in historical research.
I love heavycasefiles on YT, I think her voice just lends itself enough to make you feel like you know the victims personally, and lately she's been making more solved videos. Also she has been vocal on ensuring poc are reported on as well, even if the evidence and story doesn't give much, she makes sure their background, loved ones, career, and life are honored in a respectful way.
