2021/04/30

Amber Alyssa Tuccaro was a 20-year-old from Mikisew Cree First Nation who went missing on the evening of August 18, 2010. Her remains wouldn’t be discovered until 2 years later, and truly I blame the police for this one, as they didn’t even seem to really look for Amber. We’ll get into how the police completely botched this investigation from day 1, as well as listen to the audio that Amber was able to record in the presence of her killer. While this case seems like it should really have enough

Whether you believe psychics are real or fake, their abilities are sometimes used by police agencies to help shed some light on the difficult cases they’re working on. Sometimes the police feel like they’ve helped, and sometimes they can turn out to be completely wrong - maybe even scam-like.

2021/03/31

This is the story of Leonard Lake and Charles NG, two of the worst serial killers I’ve never heard of. They believed that with the end of the world drawing near, it was their job to repopulate the earth. And in doing so they would kidnap, rape, torture and kill - documenting much of it along the way. We’ll never really know the true scope of their reign of terror as many of the victims will never be identified.

The Goler Clan: "The Hillbilly Sex Ring"

Serial Napper | True Crime Stories for Naps ·

2021/03/03

The Goler Family lived a life of isolation in a mountainous area near Wolfville Nova Scotia, almost completely secluded from the rest of society. A heads up, this story involves incest and sexual abuse, something not easy to talk about and not easy to listen to, but I think it’s important we talk about because it’s something that’s real, that happens, that isn’t just played out on the big screen. It’s truly horrific what the Goler Clan forced their own family to do and the long-lasting effects of

Tonight we’re going to be talking about two young women with different experiences but a common thread. One that really hits home for me. My generation, well we were the generation of young teens in chat rooms and on instant messenger. Before there were warning signs. Before we really knew what could happen. Before our parents had any inclination that maybe they should step in. And I don’t blame the parents, I really don’t. Technology gave pedophiles direct access to young teens everywhere, with
