This episode explores two family tragedies that shook the world of true crime: Ronald Clark O’Brien, the infamous “Candyman,” who on Halloween 1974 poisoned his own son for insurance money — a case that forever changed the way people view trick-or-treating. Even more shocking: he also gave the poisoned candy to four other children, and his phone call to the insurance company the very next morning became strong proof of his motive. From there, we shift to the 2013 Klouse Family Murders in Alberta, Canada, where a house fire revealed a brutal, premeditated killing carried out by the family’s only surviving son, Jason Klouse — complete with impossible alibis and bizarre claims of seeing his family’s ghosts.
In this episode, you will discover how financial motives, greed, and deceit can destroy families that should have been safe. You’ll learn how investigators uncovered key evidence from small, overlooked details — from poisoned Pixy Stix candy to supernatural alibis used to justify murder. This episode provides a deep look into the psychology of the perpetrators, their moral collapse, and how layers of lies eventually crumble under the weight of undeniable evidence.
