The Ravens Hollow ·

2026/04/20

Imagine a doomsday power couple so committed to the apocalypse that they decided to speed up the guest list. Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell—an Idaho‑Hawaii romance built on fringe prophecies, zombie talk, and enough red flags to start their own parade—left a trail of suspicious deaths, missing children, and baffled investigators in their wake.Lori, later dubbed “Doomsday Mom,” embraced Chad’s end‑times visions and self‑appointed spiritual rankings, convincing herself that inconvenient family members

Raymond Eugene Brown - Episode 058

The Ravens Hollow ·

2026/04/17

Raymond Eugene Brown wasn’t just a walking red flag—he was the whole parade. A killer whose crimes began at just 14, he went from family annihilator to repeat murderer after a disastrously misguided parole. His life reads like a cautionary tale about ignoring every possible warning sign: a violent past, a chilling pattern, and a justice system that gave him one chance too many. In this episode, we unravel how one man managed to turn second chances into second tragedies—and why his story still haunts

The Texarkana Moonlight Murders - Episode 057

The Ravens Hollow ·

2026/04/13

In the spring of 1946, Texarkana had two states, one Phantom, and absolutely no chill. A masked assailant stalked lovers’ lanes with eerie precision, turning a quiet twin city into a jittery maze of locked doors, sold‑out hardware stores, and citizens who suddenly discovered religion—or at least better porch lighting. The Phantom Killer struck under moonlight, vanished at sunrise, and left behind a trail of terror, theories, and enough urban legends to fuel horror movies for decades. Buckle up as we

Kenneth Allen McDuff - Episode 056

The Ravens Hollow ·

2026/04/10

Kenneth Allen McDuff wasn’t just a menace—he was Texas’ worst argument for parole reform wrapped in a six‑foot frame and bad intentions. Born into comfort but fueled by cruelty, McDuff bullied his way through childhood before graduating to burglary, murder, and eventually earning the charming nickname “The Broomstick Killer.” After receiving three separate death sentences—yes, three—he still managed to walk free thanks to a perfect storm of legal loopholes, overcrowded prisons, and a parole system

Richard Cottingham - Episode 055

The Ravens Hollow ·

2026/04/06

Richard Cottingham looked like your average 1970s family man—commuter, computer operator, husband, father. But behind that beige exterior lurked a man the tabloids would later dub The Torso Killer, a predator whose crimes were so brutal they rattled even seasoned investigators. Operating across New York and New Jersey from the mid‑60s to 1980, Cottingham lived a double life so convincing it took decades—and a hotel staffer’s quick thinking—to finally expose the monster hiding in plain sight

Terry Anthony Blair - Episode 054

2026/04/03

Terry Blair wasn’t just a product of a family tree with more felony branches than leaves—he became Kansas City’s grim reminder that sometimes the danger isn’t lurking in the shadows, it’s walking right out on parole. Born into chaos in 1961, Blair went on to terrorize the city from 1982 to 2004, targeting vulnerable women and leaving investigators convinced his known seven victims were only part of a larger, darker tally. His reign ended in 2004, and he died in prison in 2024—closing the book on a

Edward James Adams - Episode 052

2026/03/27

Meet Edward James Adams, the bank robber who proved you don’t need a Tommy gun or a movie‑star snarl to become one of the most slippery outlaws of the early 20th century. Adams wasn’t your typical stick‑’em‑up desperado—he was a smooth‑talking, sharp‑dressed criminal who could charm a room, crack a safe, and vanish before the dust settled. From jailbreaks that read like stage plays to heists pulled off with almost theatrical flair, Adams built a reputation as the outlaw who always stayed one clever

Rudy Bladel "The Railway Killer" - Episode 051

The Ravens Hollow ·

2026/03/23

Rudy Bladel was the kind of disgruntled ex‑employee who didn’t just hold a grudge—he loaded it, chambered it, and took it trackside. A former railroad fireman whose career was derailed by a 1959 yard merger, Bladel spent the next decade and a half turning his personal vendetta into a grim, locomotive‑themed murder spree.Intro Audio: Gavin Prater Outro Audio: Jason Poe Source Credit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Bladel

Murder of Chester Allan Poage - Episode 047

2026/03/09

Chester Allan Poage’s story begins like a small‑town slice of Americana—born on the Fourth of July, raised on a century‑old Kansas farm, and known for being tougher than his size suggested. But when he took a short break from technical school to visit family in Spearfish, South Dakota, his life veered into a grim twist worthy of a true‑crime cautionary tale. What started as a casual hangout with people he believed were friends spiraled into betrayal, robbery, and a brutal murder that shocked the

Leo Lancing Boatman - Episode 044

2026/02/27

Leo Lancing Boatman wanted to be a serial killer the way some people want to be an influencer—ambitious, misguided, and catastrophically lacking in judgment. His violent debut came in 2006, when he ambushed two college students camping in the Ocala National Forest, a crime that earned him two life sentences and a permanent place in Florida’s criminal folklore. Prison didn’t slow him down; if anything, it expanded his “career opportunities.” Behind bars, Boatman killed two fellow inmates—one in 2010

Richard Chase—grimly nicknamed “The Vampire of Sacramento”—was less a criminal mastermind and more a catastrophic collision of untreated mental illness and escalating paranoia. In the late 1970s, he spiraled into delusions so severe he believed his blood was turning to powder, prompting him to seek “refills” in the most horrific ways imaginable. His crimes were chaotic rather than calculated, driven by fear rather than finesse, and ultimately ended only when neighbors and police connected the dots
