Axe murderer Karla Faye Tucker, who bragged of having an orgasm each time she sunk the blade into her victims, was the first woman executed in Texas in over a hundred and thirty years.

While on death row she made a dramatic conversion to Christianity, causing her pending execution to become a lightning rod of debate on the death penalty, appearing on 60 Minutes and Larry King Live, and drawing in support from Newt Gingrich, Jimmy Swaggart and Pope John Paul II, all trying to convince then Texas Governor George W. Bush to spare her life.

Hear the entire dramatic tale of sex, drugs, murder, biker gangs, redemption and Christian forgiveness today on Murder Coaster!

Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you, one of the wildest and strangest tales of gaslighting, manipulation, abuse, torture and murder in modern history.

A tale too crazy to be believed, so weird police refused to even investigate it for years, allowing the insanity to continue undaunted, though they were contacted many, many times.

The tale of a mother so cruel and unfeeling as to be a literal monster, a psychopathic and murderous redheaded beast cunning enough to fool nearly everyone and appear for all to see as an all-American mom in white-bread suburbia.

It is the story Michelle “Crazy Shelly” Knotek, America’s Most Evil Mother, and the Raymond, Washington Torture Killings.

Ladies and gentlemen, we must warn you, the story you are about to hear is one of the most disgusting and horrible in the history of true crime, a tale so foul and loathsome that it is often shunned and is little known, despite the fact that sixteen innocent people lost their lives.

It is a story of savage manipulation and abuse, incest, family annihilation and spree killing, including one of the most horrifying acts of domestic violence ever recorded in American history.

Please be prepared, and forewarned, as we tell you the story of the horrible Ronald Gene Simmons and the Mockingbird Hill Massacre.

Randall Woodfield was many things to many people: a star athlete and high school jock who was drafted into the NFL and played for the Green Bay Packers, a devout Christian involved in prayer groups and fellowships, an all-American son and brother, a charming and good-looking guy who sought to model in Play Girl Magazine.

He was also a sexual sadist, a thief, a rapist, a necrophiliac and psychopathic serial killer.

Despite these many contrasting personas, he is now known to history under one name: the 1-5 Killer.

In 1980 and 1981 Randy Woodfield terrorized residents of Washington, California and Oregon as he roamed an 800 mile stretch of a highway on a horrible spree of robbery, rape and murder, he is linked to 18 murders and is suspected of killing as many as 44 women.

Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the savage and horrible story of Randy Woodfield, the dreaded and disgusting 1-5 Killer.
