We’re gonna get CULTY tonight! Its the disturbing rise and violent downfall of Taylor Helzer and the self-proclaimed Children of Thunder cult. What began as a spoiled Mormon Mama's boy led to Helzer deciding that HE was the Mormon prophet, and that he had to defeat the Mormons, and take control. Helzer's increasingly bizarre religious claims spiraled into manipulation, paranoia, and ultimately a brutal series of murders in Northern California in 2000. We explore how charismatic control, apocalyptic beliefs, and unquestioning loyalty enabled unimaginable violence, while breaking down the investigation that exposed the group's crimes and the lasting impact on the victims' families. Thisepisode focuses on the warning signs of coercive cult dynamics and the tragic consequences of unchecked extremism.

Baron Colon was a street gangster in Miami, FL. He participated in a murder, and wasn’t charged initially due to lack of evidence. But, he WAS a suspect. The case went cold until he went onto a reality TV show called From Gs to Gents, where they would take street gangsters and turn them into gentlemen. This brought interest in the case back to the forefront. Join us and find out what happened, as well as a weird twist at the end of the story.

So, for part 5 and the conclusion of the 5 Lethal Ladies Binge, we’re bringing you a lesser known, one off case...and unlike the other 4 lethal ladies, this one is a poisoner. Nikki Capella had a great husband, and a perfect little girl. She also had a good job as a nurse. But she had something else that she loved more than everything that gave her a life that many people dream of. Her painkillers. Rather than straighten up, and fix herself, she threw it all away, and is now in prison for life.

A little late! Sorry about that. Technical difficulties and stuff. But, we’re back with part 4 of our 5 Lethal Ladies binge. We’re going down under to cover Katherine Knight. The first Australian woman to get life without parole, and she deserved it! We cover her tragic childhood to her super toxic relationships with men. And, we may actually be the only podcast to figure out WHY so many men were willing to be with her, despite her bad reputation (And no, its not because she was good in bed. Its deeper than that) We finish it offwith her hideous murder.

In the second installment of the Lethal Ladies Binge, we are covering Dana Sue Gray. A very vicious serial killer who was more vicious than probably a third of the men we’ve covered on this show. She was entitled since the day she was born, and her sole reason for existence was to live large...at someone else’s expense. One day, she got the idea that if she killed rich old ladies, she could rob them and fund her lifestyle. But, she’s also our favorite type of serial killer. An idiot.

Tonight, Kevin takes the lead, and tells us the story of Leonarda Cianciulli. From birth, she stood no chance. Her mother hated her from birth, and it just gets worse. She got into witchcraft, and because of a prophecy by a fortune teller, saying she’d outlive all her kids, she got busy learning the trade, and decided that the curse would not come true. When her son joined the army and went into WW2, she decided that human sacrifice would keep him alive. She killed at least 3 women, probably more, and used their body renderings to make soap and pastries. She, and quite a few unsuspecting people ate the pastries and used the soap...But, her son survived WW2…Join us!
