    Chapter 114: The Devil in the Details-The Unsolved Death of Jeannette DePalma w/ Brian Santana
    Sep 3 2025
    On August 7, 1972, 16-year-old Jeannette DePalma left her home in Springfield, New Jersey, to go to work, but she never made it back home. Six weeks later, Jeannette's body was found atop Devil's Teeth, a cliff in Houdaille Quarry. With very little evidence, no clear suspects, and rumors of her being the victim of a Satanic Cult, her case has gone cold with no answers to be had for any of the countless questions left in the wake of her death. 53 years later, the mystery of what really happened to Jeannette DePalma has continued to baffle those who still remember her. Today, I am joined by Brian Santana to break down the case file and walk you through one of my home state's most baffling crimes. If you have any information about the death of Jeannette DePalma, please contact the Springfield Police Department at (973) 376-0400.Visit the Justice for Jeannette website and sign the petition Get A Murder On Campus: The Professor, The Cop, and North Carolina's Most Notorious Cold Case hereCheck out Chapter 91 with Brian and Cameron Santana hereCheck out Chapter 105: Summer's Almost Gone with Brian Santana and J.T.

    Novela 10: Hannah Cranna, The Witch of Monroe w/ Rogue Darkness
    Aug 27 2025
    As I work on a case that is far more involved than I originally thought, dive into the chilling legend of Hannah Cranna, often called the Wicked Witch of Monroe in this episode hosted by Raven of Rogue Darkness. Feared throughout 19th-century Connecticut, Hannah’s reputation was built on tales of witchcraft, curses, and paranormal misfortune said to befall anyone who crossed her. Even her death and burial became the stuff of haunted New England folklore, cementing her place in history as one of the region’s most infamous legends. Was Hannah Cranna truly a witch—or just a woman condemned by rumor and superstition?

    Chapter 113: Blood in the Hudson-The Bag Murders, Addison Verrill, and The Exorcist Curse
    Aug 20 2025
    In the 1970s, New York's LGBTQ Community was gripped by fear; from a string of grisly unsolved killings known as the “Bag Murders,” to the shocking murder of film critic Addison Verrill, and whispers of a Hollywood curse surrounding The Exorcist. At the center of these intersecting stories stands Paul Bateson, a man described as handsome and charismatic, yet linked to both cinema lore and real-life violence. In one of New York City's darkest chapters, fact and fiction collided, spawning an evil that was very much rooted in reality.

  • Chapter 112: In Cold Blood-The Death of Dr. Eric Garcia w/ Chris Connelly

    Chapter 112: In Cold Blood-The Death of Dr. Eric Garcia w/ Chris Connelly
    Aug 13 2025
    In March 2017, the quiet Alaskan town of Ketchikan was rocked by the sudden death of beloved surgeon Dr. Eric Garcia. Found in his home under suspicious circumstances, his death would devolve into a mystery that was truly stranger than fiction.
    Journalist Chris Connelly, host of Cold Blooded: Mystery in Alaska, joined me to discuss his investigation and shared what it was like to walk the streets of Ketchikan, speak with Dr. Garcia’s grieving loved ones, and sit face-to-face with the detectives who brought his killer to justice. From Alaska to Washington, Chris told me all about the twists and turns in a case that, on the surface, had seemed so straightforward, and how a remote community still grapples with the loss of one of its own.

    You can hear all about the murder of Dr. Eric Garcia, including details not shared today, by listening to Cold Blooded: Mystery in Alaska every Tuesday, wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Chapter 111: Something Wicked-The Murder of Joshua Bennett

    Chapter 111: Something Wicked-The Murder of Joshua Bennett
    Jul 30 2025
    In August 2005, 20-year-old U.S. Army soldier Joshua Bennett returned home to Illinois, grieving the unexpected loss of his father. Ne reconnects with his mother, who invited him to stay the night at her home, but within hours, Joshua would be murdered in his mother’s home by a group of people who believed they were under the influence of a witch’s curse. The murder of Joshua Bennett is a senseless killing fueled by occult paranoia, the power of influence, and a revenge plot gone horribly wrong. At the center: an alleged hex, a woman obsessed with retribution, and a small-town “coven” convinced that violence was their only way out.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a promo for A Hateful HomicideA Hateful Homicide is a true crime podcast launched on March 31, 2021, by Transgender advocate Mallery Jenna Robinson.

  • Chapter 110: A Hidden Crisis-American Infanticide & The Emile Weaver Case with Clara S. Lewis

    Chapter 110: A Hidden Crisis-American Infanticide & The Emile Weaver Case with Clara S. Lewis
    Jul 23 2025
    Today I sat down with Clara S. Lewis, author of American Infanticide: Sexism, Science, and the Politics of Sympathy, to examine the deeply unsettling and complex case of Emile Weaver, a college student convicted of killing her newborn in 2015. Clara walked me through how the legal system, media, and public perception often fail to grasp the complex realities behind neonaticide and infanticide in America. From the influence of a long history of stigmatizing young mothers that shape how we respond to these tragedies, the systemic forces that leave young women isolated and desperate, we discussed why these cases are far more common and more misunderstood than many realize. This is a conversation about stigma, silence, and the consequences of a justice system ill-equipped to reckon with maternal trauma.

    Chapter 109: The Devil Made Me Do It-The Beasts of Satan Murders
    Jul 16 2025
    In the late 1990s, Italy was worried that Satanism was on the rise. There were whispers of cults and worshippers performing dark rituals to appease the devil and citizens were flocking to their churches worried about their immortal souls and the safety of their loved ones. This fear was not completely unfounded. In the outskirts of Milan, in Busto Arsizio, was a heavy metal band that had taken the idea of Satanic worship and twisted it until their desire to appease Satan turned them into killers. The Beasts of Satan terrorized the community from the shadows for years, and at least 3 people were killed in the name of the Devil, until it all came crashing down in 2004.

    Chapter 108: Secrets in Spanish Fork-The Disappearance of Kiplyn Davis
    Jun 25 2025
    In 1995, 15-year-old Kiplyn Davis disappeared in broad daylight from her high school in Spanish Fork, Utah. Her belongings were abandoned in her locker, and she never made it to her afternoon classes. No one has seen her since. Thirty years later, the mystery of what happened to Kiplyn has endured in a community that refuses to forget her. However, as the years have passed, the ties that have bound family and friends together have begun to come undone, and secrets have started to emerge, which begs the question: how long can someone stay quiet when what they've done starts to come into the light? Anyone who has any information that can lead to the discovery of Kiplyn's remains is asked to call the Spanish Fork police department at (801) 798-5070 or (801) 804-4700. Alternatively, you can call the FBI field office at 801-374-5332.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a promo for Tragedy With A View:What is life without close calls with disaster?Hosted by Kayla, Tragedy with a View is an outdoor lover's podcast for those who love true tales of tragic loss and unbelievable survival involving the wilderness, wildlife and weather.
