  • This is NOT ‘The Way’

    This is NOT ‘The Way’
    Oct 27 2025
    Hey Slaycaters, meet Lela and Raymond Howard, a sweet elderly couple from Salado, Texas who, against the wishes of concerned family members, decide to drive themselves to a nearby festival, 15 miles away. They never made it — in part because Lela was driving in the complete opposite direction. n fact, a cop pulled them over for driving with their headlights off in Arkansas, about 500 miles away. Meanwhile, back home panicked friends and family were desperately searching for the missing couple. Did they deliberately go on the run? Was Lela’s Alzheimer’s to blame? Were they trying to escape a life of doctors appointments, medications, aches & pains? This 1997 story became the inspiration for the song ‘The Way’ by Fastball -- only with a much happier ending.

  • I Left My Heart in Bali

    I Left My Heart in Bali
    Oct 20 2025
    Hey Slaycaters, get ready for another dose of WTF? — this time courtesy of the Indonesian authorities handling (or rather mishandling) of a mysterious death at a luxury villa in Bali. When 23-year old, Australian Byron Haddow was found floating face down in a plunge pool after a night out with friends — you’d think there would be a major investigation involving the police; including witness statements; cordoning off the crime scene and stripping everything down for evidence… Right? Nope, that’s not what happened… at all. However, the Indonesian Coroner’s Office did hold onto Byron’s body for weeks before sending it back — minus the heart. Yeah, this case gets weird. As always thanks for Slaycating with us and please stay safe out there!

  • Bad Dad in the Adirondacks

    Bad Dad in the Adirondacks
    Oct 13 2025
    Oof… This case. Too soon. Too sad. Too much WTF… And yet, here we are. There truly is no way to sugarcoat what happened to 9-year old Melina Frattolin, who was visiting her father, Luciano, the owner of a supposedly successful coffee business. But like most things in this case — there’s the truth and there’s the story that Luciano tells. And that story includes a tale of a white van pulling up to where Luciano and Melina were hanging out by the side of the road — and several kidnappers jumping out and taking the young girl. Thus begins a tale of abduction, Amber Alerts, and a horrific discovery in a nearby wooded pond area. This case is not for the faint of heart but then again, neither are we. As always, thanks for joining us and please stay safe out there!

  • A Long Strange Trip Gone Wrong

    A Long Strange Trip Gone Wrong
    Oct 6 2025
    Hey Slaycaters (and music fans) we’re taking you back to 1973 and the Summer Jam concert in Watkins Glen, New York. The headliners were The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers and The Band and over 600,000 people showed up to the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Raceway. Among the concert-goers were 16 year old Michael Weiser and 15 year old Bonnie Bickwit, two very smart and loving kids from Brooklyn, NY. Without a car, the pair decided to hitchhike to the show. They never made it home. Join us as we take a deep dive into this music-festival mystery that may have left these two unlucky Deadheads dead. Or not. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us and please stay safe out there.

  • Love on the Rocks in Mexico

    Love on the Rocks in Mexico
    Sep 29 2025
    OK Slaycaters, this episode starts with us taking a deep breath…something you’re going to want to do multiple times throughout this episode as we tell the equal parts horrifying, mystifying and frustrating case of Elliot Blair and Kim Blair-Williams — two young, public defenders spending their first wedding anniversary in Mexico. Without giving away any details, let’s just say in a town known for Police corruption, while staying at a hotel whose name literally translates to ‘The Rocks’ — the turn of events that befell our young lawyers almost seems foreshadowed. But of course, the gory details make this so much worse. Just remember to breathe. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us and please stay safe out there!

  • Batsh*t Crazy in Gotham City!

    Batsh*t Crazy in Gotham City!
    Sep 22 2025
    Hey Slaycaters, welcome to what might be the most insane case we’ve ever covered on this show. Which is really saying a lot. Not only does this case take place literally in our backyard of the East Village of New York City, at a time (late 80’s/early 90’s) when all three of us were in and around the area — but what actually transpired is beyond the scope of any nightmare you could imagine. The less you know the better — but let’s just say poor Monika Beerle, a 26-year old dancer from Switzerland could not have found a worse roommate situation…or a worse roommate than Daniel Rakowitz, a man known for walking around Tompkins Square Park with his pet rooster. Please be warned — this one gets intense. As always thanks for Slaycating with us & please choose the people you decide to live with carefully!

  • Win the Lottery, Lose Your Life

    Win the Lottery, Lose Your Life
    Sep 15 2025
    Hey Slaycaters, congratulations! You’ve just won the Jamaican lottery! All you need to do to receive your winnings is pay a small fee (to cover customs charges and shipping costs). Never mind that you never entered the Jamaican lottery — you won! Here is the untraceable way for you to send the fee… Now obviously you’re way too smart to ever fall for a scam like this — but believe it or not, hundreds of people do…including Heidi Muth, a teacher from California. Only, when she suspected she’d been scammed she hopped a plane to Montego Bay, Jamaica to confront the people she’d been talking to. Bad idea. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us, stay safe out there…and beware of obvious scams!
