67 The Trailside Killer, David Carpenter

Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer: A True Crime Podcast ·

2023/07/22

David Carpenter had a hard childhood. An abusive set of parents. And to top it all off, his mother made him take ballet class. He grew up to be a sadistic serial rapist and serial killer. He was convicted of 8 murders, and suspected of 2 others. But, I'm convinced there are more. Many more. His first murder was at 49 years old, and he had attempted murder many years before that. His victims were along the mountain trails in California, where he had easy pickings, and seclusion. He started

2023/07/13

We're releasing this one a few days early! This is our first unsolved case. Its unsolved, but it is intense, and full of police negligence. Its maddening at times. Catherine Mowrey was murdered in June of 1985 in Dallas, TX. She was found in the trunk of a car, wrapped in a blanket burrito style, with a belt tightly around her neck. The police ruled it a drug overdose, or accidental death, even a suicide. In 1993, Catherine's sister, Jo-Ann was also murdered, but that case was solved
