Stranger Danger: A True Crime Podcast

77. The One with the CCTV Footage

It’s not very often that a crime basically plays out on camera right in front of your eyes, but that’s what happened when Philip Chism was caught on school security cameras following his math teacher, Colleen Ritzer, into the bathroom. What happens next is the most baffling, randomly brutal attack. 

76. The One with the Billboards in Vidor, Texas

If you’ve seen the hit film “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”, you may have noticed the disclaimer that the film was inspired by true events. Today we’re bringing you a listener request to cover the story that inspired the film. 

Kathy Fulton Page was discovered in her car in what appeared to be a staged accident, but charges have never been brought against anyone. Her family continues to fight for justice and her dad had gone as far as to rent billboard space to bring attention to the case, but it seems there is very much one suspect in mind.

 

75. The One with Icky András Pándy

Nothing like a little murder and incest to start your Monday! András Pándy was a Hungarian-Belgium “pillar of the community,” and we all know what that means! The only thing more disturbing than this body count is the way McKenzie butchers every name along the way. 

74. The One with the Triple Homicide

A cheating husband, his wife, and his mistress and her daughter all walk into a house… 

Unlike a good ol’ bar joke though, only one walks out alive. Gerald “Mike” Bullinger was cheating (again) on his wife Cheryl Baker when she stumbled upon his mistress and her daughter living in their brand new home. Shots are fired, and only one walks away and disappears - never to be seen again. 

73. The One with The Mutant

Twists. And. Turns. A classic who-dun-it and the answer will undoubtedly surprise you. Dana Laskowski was a 36-year-old mother of three when she was discovered dead in her home, but the perp was the most unsuspecting… suspect? 

72. The One with the Sick Suitcase Murder

Australia… what in the hell is going on down under, my friends!? 

If your boyfriend is one of the worst guys in the world and you still go back to him because you’re a match made in hell, you must be Hazel Passmore. When Hazel becomes suspicious that Daniel Holdom is cheating on her, he reassures her it simply isn’t possible… because the woman in question is dead. 

Rather than report the murders of Karlie Pearce-Stevenson and Khandalyce Pearce, Hazel’s next actions are just truly unbelievable. Listen to find out more!

71. The One Where Susan Feeds Them to the Pigs

Robert Haney and Stephen Delicino were unsuspecting handymen who went to work for Oregon pig farmer Susan Monica… but they ended up being fed to the farm animals. Keep Oregon weird or nah?

 

70. The One with the Mysterious Cruise Disappearance

Amy Lynn Bradley was only 23 years old when she boarded a Caribbean cruise ship with her family and disappeared forever. Theories have floated (no pun intended) about trafficking, drowning, suicide, etc., but the question remains - what happened to Amy? 

69. The One Where We Go Back to Spreckels Mansion

Spreckels mansion part 2! McKenzie had to do a follow up episode after realizing how much content and research she left out of part 1. Please accept this follow-up episode with our sincerest apologies. 

68. The One with the Circleville Letters Mystery

In 1976, citizens of Circleville, OH began receiving mysterious letters from an unknown author with various threats, blackmail, rants, and details of the recipients’ lives. Ignoring the letters didn’t seem to pay off though, and eventually a man ends up dead and another is falsely imprisoned while the writer remains unidentified. Who was the Circleville Letter Writer?
