Scams, Money, & Murder

In November 1957, police in Plainfield, Wisconsin went looking for a missing hardware store owner, Bernice Worden, and found her body in a shed behind Ed Gein's farmhouse. Inside the house, they found furniture, clothing and keepsakes made from human remains. Gein admitted killing Worden and a tavern owner named Mary Hogan, and to robbing more than 40 graves. He was found unfit to stand trial; when he was tried in 1968, a judge convicted him of a single murder and found him legally insane. He died in a state hospital in 1984. In the meantime, his farmhouse had reshaped American horror three times over, in the films Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, & Crimes, Vanessa Richardson examines the two women Ed Gein admitted killing, the farmhouse that made him a legend, and how a case with one conviction became the template for half a century of American horror. Please note, this episode contains descriptions of extreme violence and may not be suitable for all audiences.

In 2018, an anonymous user posted a photograph of an empty yellow room on 4chan — no caption, no story, no name. A year later, two paragraphs turned that image into one of the most elaborate horror mythologies the internet has ever produced. What followed was a global phenomenon: hundreds of levels, thousands of contributors, and a teenage filmmaker handed a feature film deal by A24.

In the first part of our 3-part series on the Black Dahlia, Katie Ring traces who Elizabeth really was: the fiancé she lost days before the war ended, the stories she told strangers to get by, and the last place anyone can prove she was seen alive.

Carl Panzram wrote his autobiography in prison — a document so violent and psychologically raw that the guard who helped him smuggle it out spent decades trying to publish it. He claimed murders on three continents and crimes across America, Africa, and Central America. In Part 1, Vanessa and Dr. Engels trace Panzram's catastrophic childhood in Minnesota reform schools where every attempt at rehabilitation produced only greater fury.

On the evening of June 9th, 1912, Josiah and Sarah Moore walked their four children home from a Children's Day program at the Presbyterian church in Villisca, Iowa. Two young sisters, Lena and Ina Stillinger, had been invited to stay the night. By the next morning all eight of them had been murdered with an axe in their beds while the small southwestern Iowa town slept, in what became known as the Villisca axe murders. Josiah ran the local farm implement dealership and Sarah had organized the church program that evening; the Moore children were 11, 10, 7 and 5. There was no forced entry, nothing of value taken, and no one who heard a sound. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces the Moore family and the town where they were among the best known names, the night eight people were killed behind unlocked doors, and the crime scene that curious neighbors walked through for more than a day before the bodies were removed. Please note, this episode contains descriptions of extreme violence and may not be suitable for all audiences.
