    The Flint Serial Slasher: Elias Abuelazam

    In August 2010, Elias Abuelazam was arrested at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport while attempting to flee to Israel after a brutal stabbing spree that terrorized Flint, Michigan. The serial killer murdered at least five men and attacked nine others across Michigan, Virginia, and Ohio between May and August 2010, targeting primarily African American men in what became known as the Flint Serial Slasher case. Arnold Minor, a 49-year-old handyman, became a key murder victim when investigators found his blood on Abuelazam's steering wheel and clothing.

    This is the story of a predator who weaponized kindness. Elias Abuelazam drove through the struggling streets of Flint in his green Chevy TrailBlazer, pretending he needed help with directions or car trouble. When Good Samaritans approached his window, he stabbed them and drove away. Five families lost someone they loved. Nine survivors carry physical and emotional scars that will never fully heal. The case connects to an earlier unsolved murder in Virginia and a violent assault in Israel, painting a picture of escalating violence that spanned continents. We'll walk through the investigation that finally caught him, the controversial insanity defense that failed, and the decision to suspend additional trials that left many families without full closure.

  • Natural Selection: How Religious Extremism Killed Mary Anne Welch

    Natural Selection: How Religious Extremism Killed Mary Anne Welch

    Natural Selection: How Religious Extremism Killed Mary Anne Welch

    On August 2, 2018, ten-month-old Mary Anne Welch died of starvation in Solon Township, Michigan. Her parents, Seth Welch and Tatiana Fusari, were convicted of felony murder and first-degree child abuse after investigators discovered the infant weighed only eight pounds at death. The homicide investigation revealed a disturbing pattern of deliberate medical neglect, religious extremism, and a 90-minute delay before calling 911 while Seth consulted his lawyer.

    This is the story of a baby who starved to death in plain sight. Seth Welch believed in "natural selection" and called doctors the "priesthood of the medical cult." He recorded videos explaining why weak children should die off. Tatiana worked at McDonald's but claimed she was too terrified of her husband to seek help. Their farmhouse was covered in religious signs warning the world to stay away, while inside, Mary Anne's body slowly consumed itself trying to survive. When Seth finally called 911, he told the dispatcher his daughter was "dead as a doornail" and admitted he'd called his attorney first. The autopsy revealed she'd been starving for months. The question isn't whether they killed her. It's how they justified watching it happen.

  • Birmingham's Forgotten Serial Killer: Jack Harrison Trawick

    Birmingham's Forgotten Serial Killer: Jack Harrison Trawick

    Birmingham's Forgotten Serial Killer: Jack Harrison Trawick

    Jack Harrison Trawick murdered Stephanie Gach in Birmingham, Alabama in 1992 after abducting the 21-year-old college student from her apartment complex parking lot. The homicide investigation revealed Trawick had killed at least three women, including 17-year-old Betty Jo Richards in 1972 and 26-year-old Aileen Pruitt earlier in 1992. Forensic evidence from his white Toyota van, including fiber analysis and luminol-detected blood traces, led to his conviction and death sentence. Trawick had been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic with homicidal impulses in 1970, yet remained free to kill for decades.

    This is the story of a killer who described murder as a physical addiction, a man who walked Birmingham's streets for twenty years between his first kill and his capture. Trawick didn't fade into obscurity after his arrest. From death row, he launched a psychological warfare campaign against his victims' families through a murderabilia website, forcing grieving mothers to relive their nightmares. The case exposed massive failures in the mental health system and sparked a legislative battle that changed how we think about criminals profiting from their crimes.

  • The Birthday Cake Killers: Inside the 1973 Victor Massacre

    The Birthday Cake Killers: Inside the 1973 Victor Massacre

    The Birthday Cake Killers: Inside the 1973 Victor Massacre

    In November 1973, Douglas Gretzler and Willie Steelman murdered nine people in Victor, California, including the Parkin family and their neighbors. The homicide investigation revealed a brutal massacre where victims Walter Parkin, Joanne Parkin, their children Lisa and Robert, Richard and Wanda Earl, their children Debbie and Ricky, and Mark Lang were systematically executed in their own home. This killing spree began in Arizona with multiple murders across the Southwest, totaling seventeen victims. The suspects used eyewitness elimination as their primary motive, leaving a trail of bodies from Phoenix to Sacramento before their arrest at the Clunie Hotel.

    Two drifters walked into a family home during a bowling night and turned it into the crime scene that would haunt a tiny California town forever. After shooting nine people, including two children, the killers sat down in the kitchen and ate birthday cake. This is the story of how a depressed kid from the Bronx and a brain-damaged ex-con from California formed one of the deadliest partnerships in American criminal history, racking up seventeen bodies in less than a month while crisscrossing the Southwest like their personal hunting ground.

  • Sarah Jo Pender: The Female Charles Manson Case Explained

    Sarah Jo Pender: The Female Charles Manson Case Explained
    Dec 30 2025
    Sarah Jo Pender: The Female Charles Manson Case Explained

    They called her the Female Charles Manson. In October 2000, two people were shot to death in an Indianapolis drug house. Sarah Jo Pender bought the shotgun that morning at Walmart. Her boyfriend Richard Hull pulled the trigger. She got 110 years, he got 75. Now the prosecutor who convicted her says he was wrong. But here's the thing about Sarah Jo Pender: everywhere she goes, people end up doing things they wouldn't normally do. She manipulated a prison guard into breaking her out. She lived as a fugitive for months. And now she's one hearing away from walking free. This is about intelligence as a weapon, about the difference between pulling a trigger and aiming the gun, and about whether 25 years is justice or just good patience.

  • The Cereal Killer: Frozen Breast Milk Solved a Michigan Murder

    The Cereal Killer: Frozen Breast Milk Solved a Michigan Murder

    The Cereal Killer: Frozen Breast Milk Solved a Michigan Murder

    Christina Harris died in her Davison, Michigan home in September 2014 from a heroin overdose. The 36-year-old mother's death was ruled accidental. Her husband Jason Harris collected $120,000 in life insurance, bought a plane ticket to visit another woman nine days later, and moved a new girlfriend into their home two weeks after Christina's funeral. The investigation into Christina's murder took five years before prosecutors could finally charge Jason Harris with first-degree murder.

    This is the story of a man who tried to hire multiple people to kill his wife, offering $10,000 from her future life insurance payout. When nobody would take the job, he decided to do it himself. He made her a bowl of cereal one night, and Christina told a coworker that if she ever turned up dead, her husband did it. The evidence that eventually convicted him came from the most unexpected source, and it took a cold case team refusing to let this go to finally get justice for Christina and her two young children.

  • Bible John: The Ballroom Killer

    Bible John: The Ballroom Killer
    Dec 23 2025
    Bible John: The Ballroom Killer

    Patricia Docker, Jemima MacDonald, and Helen Puttock were murdered between 1968 and 1969 in Glasgow, Scotland after meeting their killer at the Barrowland Ballroom. The unsolved homicide investigation spawned one of Europe's most notorious cold cases when a witness described the suspect quoting scripture and condemning adultery, giving birth to the nickname Bible John. Police interviewed 5,000 people, created Scotland's first composite sketch of a murder suspect, and conducted DNA testing on exhumed bodies, yet the serial killer has never been identified.

    This case has everything that makes a cold case absolutely maddening. You've got three women strangled with their own stockings after nights at the same dance hall. You've got a witness who rode in a taxi with the killer and lived to describe him in disturbing detail. You've got a composite sketch that became Scotland's most infamous image. And you've got decades of botched DNA testing, suspected police cover-ups, and theories that keep piling up while the actual killer's identity remains a mystery. The Barrowland Ballroom murders happened over fifty years ago, and new suspects are still emerging, podcasts are forcing police to reopen investigations, and that eerie composite drawing still stares back from cold case files, waiting for science to finally catch up with justice.

    Seven Deadly Sins: The Valhermoso Springs Massacre
    Dec 18 2025
    Seven Deadly Sins: The Valhermoso Springs Massacre

    The 2020 Valhermoso Springs murders left seven people dead in Morgan County, Alabama, when Frederic Rogers and John Michael Legg opened fire during a drug dispute that escalated into a mass homicide. The investigation revealed burned bodies, over 1,000 crime scene photographs, and a confession that detailed the premeditated execution-style killings carried out by members of a group calling themselves the Seven Deadly Sins.

    This is the story of what happens when two guys watch too much Sons of Anarchy and decide stolen guns and a Facebook post are worth killing seven people over. Rogers and Legg weren't hardened criminals with rap sheets. They were kids playing dress-up in an outlaw fantasy they cobbled together from a TV show. When someone posted pictures of their drugs and guns online, they decided the only logical response was to invite everyone over for dinner and shoot them all. Because apparently, in their version of reality, that's how you handle embarrassment. We're talking about a crime so brutal that seasoned investigators called it the most disturbing scene in county history, and it all started because two guys couldn't tell the difference between cable television and real life.
