Bradley Robert Edwards | Claremont Serial Killer - Part 6
He attacked her from behind, one arm looping around her body while his right hand forced a cloth gag into her mouth, silencing her before she had time to understand what was happening. Davis, seated on a wheeled office chair, was terrified, certain in that moment that her life was in danger. Her attacker was tall and powerfully built, and he had come prepared, cable ties already sitting ready in his pocket. Pinning her arms to her sides, he began dragging the chair, with her still in it, backward toward the bathroom, saying nothing at all throughout the assault, his silence somehow more unsettling than any threat could have been.

Bradley Robert Edwards | Claremont Serial Killer - Part 5
Victims were chosen opportunistically but matched specific fantasy criteria involving age, appearance, and physical build. Nothing was left to chance. He would prepare a specialized kit with tools, restraints, and tape, carrying it in his vehicle. The profile painted a solo operator; he was intelligent, strategic, lived within about five kilometers of Claremont, and was intimately familiar with its leafy streets and the remote, forested dump sites. He killed before disposing of the bodies, ensuring absolute control to the end.

Bradley Robert Edwards | Claremont Serial Killer - Part 4
Police had at this time gained tunnel vision regarding a suspect named Lance Williams. He had volunteered, insisted actually, on being given a polygraph test. He supposedly failed this test as it showed anomalous scores after he was asked if he was a serial killer. Here I would like to pause for a brief moment, dear listener, and comment on something. Polygraph testing should, in my humble opinion, be banned from use by law enforcement. It is pure pseudo science, complete hogwash, bogus, humbug, unfiltered quackery that has probably caused immense suffering inflicted upon innocent men and women over the years. A polygraph test simply measures stress and anxiety in its subject. Blood pressure, sweat and heartrate. It does not, and I repeat, does not read the subject’s mind.

Bradley Robert Edwards | Claremont Serial Killer - Part 2
He grabbed her and slammed her head against the brick wall repeatedly, at least six times by her account, while simultaneously attempting to tear her skirt from her body. She told the officers from 79 Division who took her statement that she had believed, with complete and terrifying certainty, that she was going to be raped or killed. She fought back with everything she had. The struggle was noticed by club bouncers, large men trained to watch the approaches to the venue, who came running and pulled the attacker off her before taking her inside to be consoled by friends. The man fled into the surrounding streets and was never found.

Bradley Robert Edwards | Claremont Serial Killer - Part 1
When she was close enough, he came out of the dark behind her with a violence that gave her no time to think or react; he drove her face-first into the grass with enough force to knock the breath from her body. Before she could scream, before she could roll or kick or run, he had flipped her onto her back, dropped his full weight onto her stomach, and shoved a cloth deep into her mouth. Then he wrenched her over again and bound her wrists behind her back, pulling the cords so tight they bit immediately into the skin.

Oba Chandler | The Devil of Tampa Bay
The crimes were escalating. In November 1968, he was caught peeping through a woman's bedroom window in the dead of night, and not just watching. He was caught pleasuring himself while spying on her, his violation of her privacy turning into something more sinister. In 1969, he broke into a Cincinnati beauty salon and stole twenty-one wigs worth over thirteen hundred dollars, a strange crime that seemed to speak to his desire to transform himself, to become someone else. In 1976, he and an accomplice broke into a couple's home in Daytona Beach, Florida. The couple had been spotted earlier on a boat carrying what appeared to be a large amount of cash. While his partner tied up the husband with electrical cable, Chandler dragged the wife into the bedroom, made her strip to her underwear, and slowly ran the barrel of his revolver across her stomach. A cold, calculated act of psychological torture.

Lee Choon-Jae - The Night Walker
The killings began on the 15th of September 1986. The first victim was a 71-year-old woman whose name has never been officially released to the public, a decision perhaps made to protect the dignity of her grieving family in a conservative society. She was found the following morning in a field near Taean township in Hwaseong County. Her body lay face-up among the late-summer stubble of a harvested rice paddy, the stalks brittle and dry beneath her. Her clothing was torn and rearranged around her body in a way that suggested both violation and deliberate staging. Her wrists were bound tightly behind her back with strips torn from her own garments. She had been sexually assaulted. She had been strangled. The ligature—a length of her own stocking—was still knotted around her throat when police finally arrived at the scene after a farmer discovered her at dawn Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcast Website: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpod X: https://x.com/serialkillerpod Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-serial-killer-podcast.

K.D. Kempamma - Cyanide Mallika
Death by cyanide ingestion is one of the most rapid and merciless forms of poisoning, unfolding like a sudden cellular blackout that starves the body of energy even while oxygen floods the bloodstream. It is not the gentle, drifting unconsciousness of some toxins; it is a violent hijacking of the mitochondria—the power plants inside every cell—leading to histotoxic hypoxia, where tissues literally suffocate on a molecular level despite abundant oxygen.

Jerome Henry Brudos | The Lust Killer - Part 7
His hand came close to her face and she bit down into the thick flesh of his thumb with everything she had. She tasted blood; warm and metallic; and her jaw locked in a muscle spasm she could not control, her teeth sunk deep into him. They struggled in the dimness, an almost absurd tableau of a massive man trying to shake free from a woman less than half his size who had her teeth in him and would not let go. In desperation, he wound his free hand into her long hair and forced her head downward, bending her toward the concrete. She saw the front of a Volkswagen approaching through the blur of her failing vision, its headlights pale in the daylight, and then she lost consciousness.

Jerome Henry Brudos | The Lust Killer - Part 6
Jack the Ripper terrorized Whitechapel in the fall of 1888, killing at least five prostitutes—the canonical five: Nichols, Chapman, Stride, Eddowes, and Kelly. Brutal murders with throat cuts and surgical mutilations. Police received taunting letters, including the infamous “From Hell” with a piece of kidney, but the killer was never identified. He vanished as suddenly as he appeared. One of history’s greatest mysteries. Sleep well… if you can.

Jerome Henry Brudos | The Lust Killer - Part 5
They found her on the roof. Her car was parked perfectly between the lines, the doors locked, the keys gone. It was a ghost vehicle. Inside, her textbooks sat on the seat, waiting for a student who was never coming back. There were no signs of a fight, no broken glass, no blood on the upholstery. The car was as clean as Karen’s reputation. Forensic technicians took the car to the lab and went over it with a magnifying glass. They found nothing. No fingerprints that didn't belong to the family. No trace of a struggle. Whatever had happened to Karen Sprinker, it hadn't happened inside that steel frame. It had happened in the few yards between her car door and the entrance to the store.

Jerome Henry Brudos | The Lust Killer - Part 4
Her car was found parked in a rest area on the road leading up to the Santiam Pass just north of Albany, Oregon, and slightly east of the I-5. The red-and-white Rambler had no external damage, and it was locked. No blood. No sign of struggle. There were a few personal items belonging to Jan Whitney. There were no keys. In processing the Rambler, state police I.D. technicians lifted a good latent print from one of its hubcaps. With the technology available in 1968, a single latent print was worthless to detectives unless they had a suspect’s print to compare it to.

Jerome Henry Brudos | The Lust Killer - Part 3
He swung into an overgrown driveway and killed the engine beside a deserted farmhouse. Gray weathered siding, wind whistling through broken windows—no neighbours, no help for miles. Without a sound, Jerry hauled her out and started beating her. Fists hammered her face, her breasts. Blood filled her mouth, warm and metallic. She screamed anyway, knowing it probably wouldn't matter. He tore at her clothes, gasping that he wanted her naked so he could take pictures. She fought—twisted, kicked, clawed for escape. Sunset was coming fast, and she knew if darkness fell without rescue, she'd never see morning. Her screams carried just far enough. A farm couple driving past heard them, wrenched their wheel, and pulled into the weed-choked yard. They spotted the old car, the big young man looming over someone on the ground...

Jerome Henry Brudos | The Lust Killer - Part 2
His fetish expanded beyond footwear to encompass various forms of feminine undergarments and intimate apparel. He became fascinated with brassieres, panties, girdles, and the complex systems of garters and stockings that women used to maintain their appearance. Jerome developed an intense appreciation for the texture and feel of these soft fabrics, finding them almost as compelling as the high-heeled shoes that had initially captured his attention.

Jerome Henry Brudos | The Lust Killer - Part 1
He was breathing heavily, although it had taken so little effort to swing the length of two-by-four against her head and feel the satisfying impact when it hit. She had dropped like a stone, collapsing without a sound beyond the initial thud. He knelt beside her and checked to see if she was still breathing. He thought he detected a slight movement in her ribs. And then he placed both his hands around her neck and squeezed for a long time, feeling her life drain away beneath his fingers. Her neck was so frail; he could feel little bones inside crushing under his hands, the cartilage giving way.

Levi Boone Helm | The Kentucky Cannibal - Part 8
Blake rested his hand on his service revolver, weighing the morality of gunning Boone down on the courthouse steps, when he heard the news. Boone didn’t have the cash. He possessed neither valuables sufficient to pawn nor property to offer a money lender. By the end of the day, during which he had performed some truly fantastic work, Mr. Bishop began questioning whether he would ever receive payment. Consequently, the other side of the judge’s punishment fell upon Boone. He would serve a month on a chain gang, performing hard labour for the city of Victoria. His wages would be offset against the debts owed to the Adelphi Saloon and Mr. Bishop.
