  • TCC 17 Roger Kibbe, The I-5 Strangler

    TCC 17 Roger Kibbe, The I-5 Strangler
    Apr 25 2025
    This week, we take a look at a slightly lesser known but still very scary serial killer, Roger Kibbe, the I-5 Strangler. Roger had the typical serial killer upbringing - bad home life, mommy issues, and the inability to express his emotions except through trouble making and violence. The thing that makes this story so unique is just how many times Kibbe slipped through the fingers of detectives, despite his bravado when committing his crimes. It's frustrating to say the least, but makes his capture all the sweeter, when it finally (finally!) happens.

  • TCC 16 Steven and Cary Stayner, Part 2

    TCC 16 Steven and Cary Stayner, Part 2
    Apr 17 2025
    This week we conclude the terrible tale of two brothers, both wounded by their childhoods, in very different but equally horrific ways, and both with tragic endings to their adult lives (although one is still very much alive). Part two of this tale focuses on Cary's life after leaving home, and after the death of both his brother and his uncle.

    Cary's life goes very sideways from here, as he finally gives in to his demons, with terrifying and awful results.

  • TCC #16 Steven and Cary Stayner, Part 1

    TCC #16 Steven and Cary Stayner, Part 1
    Apr 10 2025
    This week is part 1 of a two-for-one true crime story, with two horrifying stories from the same ill fated family - the Stayners. We begin our story with the birth of the eldest son, Cary Stayner. Four years later, his younger brother, Steven would be born, causing a rift in the family that never healed. Tragedy struck this familiy time and time again, giving new meaning to the term 'generational trauma'.

    Horrible things happened both to and because of this family, and the shockwaves can be felt to this day. While many podcasts focus on Cary's story, this story will be about both brothers, as their stories can't be told separately without losing out on the gravity of the situations. This is truly one of the saddest, most tragic stories in the history of California true crime, so tune in and get ready for a crazy, terrible tale.
