Murder, Murder on the WallKaren Read RepeatSince Karen Read is repeating, we thought it would be a good time to repeat one of our first episodes. In episode 3, practically still in the womb, we dove right into one of the most polarizing and controversial cases in the history of ever. Or at least in the Northeast.
2025-05-071h 12Murder, Murder on the WallEpisode 22: Ruby Franke
Beauties, we are taking this show on the road back to Utah in a big van that can carry 8 passengers or 7 and a driver. It is unclear unless Jesus is taking the wheel. We are driving to Hell Hole and then Purgatory. So strap in and get ready for some pretty awful things to happen.
This was such a bumpy ride that we will give you a fresh episode of beauty and fashion and other fun stuff. This tale was too much and we just can’t.

2025-04-081h 42Murder, Murder on the WallEpisode 21: The Port Arthur MassacreMMOTW Episode #21 Port Arthur Massacre
We are headed way down under to Australia today. Tasmania, to be exact. According to all my Google images, this island off the southern end of Australia is stunning, with beaches, bays, and quorkas. We are not a travel podcast, so we are not covering all of Tasmania’s tourist destinations, but we will talk about a horrific day at one of them. Port Arthur, where on April 28th, 1996, a man committed the worst mass murder in Australian history. We will also tell you why that doesn’t happen anymore. Hint...
2025-03-111h 33Murder, Murder on the WallMMOTW Trial Sized #3: Sabina Rosas - Murder at Shou Sugi Ban HouseWelcome to our third trial-sized episode, which is not that much shorter than normal. Kelly and Stacey are back in the Hamptons for a shocking, gruesome murder that shook an ultra-elite resort and spa in the uber-wealthy community of Watermill this past fall. Sabina Rosas was an artist who championed women artists from Central Asia - and developed platforms to showcase their work (and hers). She also loved to travel the world for inspiration and stay in very trendy, chic hotels. This all sounds very expensive, right? Well someone’s got to pay the tab - but it’s Sabi...
2025-02-2757 minMurder, Murder on the WallEpisode 10: Kouri Richins - Mom, Author, Killer?This week, we are sending out to you an encore performance of one of our fav episodes. The one where Kelly and Stacey head to Utah! Where we may have found one of the craziest “secret lives of Mormon wives” in all the land: Kouri Richins, who maybe killed her husband with a Fentanyl-filled Moscow Mule - and then wrote a book about grieving. We think Kouri may have killed her husband for the plot. And some money. This story has it all. Money, Insurance, flippin, flipping houses, poisoned sandwiches, and a crappy cocktail the Moscow mule. Secrets and lies...
2025-02-2053 minMurder, Murder on the WallEpisode 20: Suzanne MorphewHappy Lunar New Year, Valentines! Today, Stacey and Kelly are doing a deep dive on the undoing of a picture-perfect marriage. There’s no such thing you say? Well we couldn’t believe it either but as it turns out, Suzanne and Barry Morphew’s marriage was anything but perfect. On Mothers Day 2020, Suzane went out for a bike ride and never came home. That is until 2023 when her remains were found in a remote area far away - and her death was deemed a homicide. Join us as we take a look under the hood of this very sad ma...
2025-02-101h 34Murder, Murder on the WallEpisode 19: James Arthur Ray and the Spiritual Warrior Retreat DeathsHey Beauties! We hope this podcast finds you well. This week, Kelly and Stacey bring you a cautionary tale about seeking enlightenment. Turns out not all self-help helpers are the same. James Arthur Ray was a self-help guru who thought very highly of his abilities to ‘help’ people. But in October of 2009, a Spiritual Warrior retreat went way off the hot rails - and three people lost their lives. So never let anyone intimidate you if you are too hot and need some air! That goes for menopause and non-sanctioned sweat lodges.

2025-01-301h 30Murder, Murder on the WallEpisode 18: Gisèle Pelicot, Shame Must Change SidesTrigger Warning: *This episode covers sexual assault*
Welcome to MMOTW 2025! It’s a new year, but it’s a tale as old as time of horrible people doing horrible things. Stacey and Kelly are kicking off the year covering an unimaginable crime from the South of France - one that has been reported on far and wide. Picture-perfect Provence is home to boulangeries, boutiques, cheese, lavender and more cheese - and a very strong woman whose life was shattered in 2020 at the age of 70 by her husband of 50 years. Madame Pelicot lived through a decade of the most...
2025-01-211h 56Murder, Murder on the WallEpisode 17: Bruce McArthur, A Very Bad SantaHappy holidays, beauties. Hopefully Santa has come and gone wherever you are, and that he brought you everything you dreamed of - because Kelly and Stacey have decided to close out the year with an absolute nightmare. Meet Bruce McArthur: Santa for hire, landscaper - and serial killer who terrorized the gay community in Toronto, Canada for at least a decade, probably more. Why don’t we know for sure? Well, the detectives on this case had a very sloppy list that most definitely was not checked twice. We also know you are probably done shopping for everyone else, so...
2024-12-271h 01Murder, Murder on the WallEpisode 16: The Genesee River Killer: Arthur Shawcross, and a WICKED surprise!Well we’re back, beauties, and boy do we have an episode for you. First, Kelly and Stacey head home (well to Stacey’s home) for the holidays to cover Rochester, New York’s infamous, horrible serial killer, Arthur Shawcross. Two fun facts! First, this was supposed to be our very first episode, but we put it on ice - and made some much-needed edits - and voila. It’s a holiday miracle. Fun fact two: This is the first time we have covered a serial killer. But don’t worry, it won’t be the last.
But what...

But first, we deliver your weekly dose of True Crime - and the very sad, very true story of Helen Mintiks - a talented, young violinist who was murdered at the Metropolitan Opera House. If you’ve never heard of this case, well, you’ve unfortunately heard many just like it: a toxic male who can’t handle rejection retaliates by doing something ghastly. We are SO into our time machine lately, and this...
2024-11-151h 04Murder, Murder on the WallEPISODE 14: The Murder of Martha Moxley & The Carolyn Besette- Kennedy PhenomenonJust as we promised, Beauties!! A brand new episode for you. Yes, a little bit behind. However, this week was all about politics and some sort of election, so Kelly and Stacey are nothing if not on theme, so we are keeping things politics-adjacent with this case. We are going back in time again to 1975 and the (unsolved) murder of 15-year-old Martha Moxley. This murder involves some Kennedy cousins who lived in Greenwich, CT. As for our beauty portion? We cannot and will not talk about Greenwich and the Kennedys without talking about the Iconic Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and...

Kelly and Stacey travel back to 1990s NYC for some inspiration: the infamous Club Kids. From the Tunnel to the Palladium to the Limelight, we cover all of the velvet-roped venues owned by Peter Gatien - and the very tragic murder of Andre “Angel” Melendez at the hands of the top Club Kid, Michael Alig.

The Tale of the Tabi ThiefIt’s a very special trial-sized episode this week for Kelly and Stacey because we have Next Level Lexus…aka the heroine of last fall’s Tabi Thief drama…and her fashion picks for fall and beyond. But first, we take you through some of the worst dates in history - followed by our retelling of the infamous Tabi Thief. It was supposed to be a shorter episode than it is…but there’s a lot of ground to cover in our Maison Margiela Tabi’s. It’s a modern-day parable that illustrates a simple truth: We work hard for our nice thi...
2024-10-2246 minMurder, Murder on the WallEpisode 12: The Other Staircase - the Murder of Susann SillsIf you are a doctor, or even if you are not a doctor, you probably know that the Hippocratic Oath is the official doctor promise. Part of that promise is “Do No Harm” - and we’re not sure Dr. Scott Sills understood the assignment. Maybe he missed doctor class that day. This week, Kelly and Stacey have found another staircase with another dead wife at the bottom - and we’re not happy about it, either. We also discovered a website where you can post topless photos when your favorite political candidate wins something. We won’t be signing up...
2024-10-081h 09Murder, Murder on the WallEpisode 11: Ezra McCandless and the Murder of Alex WoodworthEzra McCandless is a free spirit…well maybe not anymore. But she was at one point.
A deep, complicated thinker and tortured artist, pondering all of life’s questions. Is my art speaking to people? Is my nose ring infected? Who is going to pay for my oat milk latte today?
Kelly and Stacey are examining all of these questions and more on this episode of MMOTW. Ezra crossed paths with more than a few men in Eau Claire, Wisconsin at a coffee lounge house called Racy D Lenes. But these paths would eventually form a de...
2024-10-011h 09Murder, Murder on the WallBAD ROMANCE: THE CASEY WHITE AND VICKY WHITE STORYThis week, Stacey and Kelly are getting ahead of the upcoming Netflix documentary about Casey White, a violent and dangerous convicted felon, who convinced Vicky White, a sworn-in corrections officer, to take a little road trip with him right out of the clink. Little did anyone know that Casey White and Vicky White carried on an illicit two-year relationship, and hatched a plan to be together without all those pesky, prison restrictions. Their infamous road trip of April 2022 left one of them dead, and the other headed back to the prison he came from.
THEN. We...
2024-09-171h 18Murder, Murder on the WallThe Angels Landing Cult, and some Classic Cult Beauty ProductsThis week, Kelly and Stacey introduce you to the worst cult you've never heard of: Lou Castro and his Angels Landing cult. It’s a real potpourri of crimes, including murder, fraud, grooming and unimaginable treatment of children. The good news? Two of these children are now women, and they are the ones who put a stop to this horrific cult and put this man - with many aliases and a lot of criming under his belt - behind bars once and for all.

Life and Death in the Hamptons: When the Instagram Feed isn't exactly the Full PictureThis week, Kelly and Stacey are unveiling our first “trial-sized” episode. Spoiler alert: it’s still longer than we expected. We’re also recapping a weekend in the Hamptons, and everything that entails - including chatter about the very sad, very current story of the Miller family, and how keeping up with the Jones - or really anyone out east - can very quickly spiral out of control. Another spoiler alert: Everything you see on Instagram isn’t exactly what it seems. Finally - of course we have a few beauty recos - things we love and things we tried on o...
2024-08-2036 minMurder, Murder on the WallEpisode 6: The Tragic Murder of 80s TV Star Rebecca Schaeffer, and an Ode to Some of TV’s Best HairThis week, Kelly and Stacey are nostalgic and emotional over TV shows of years gone by. We mourn Shannen Doherty, and two of our favorite shows that would never have been the same without her: 90210 and Little House on the Prairie. Then, we unpack the untimely and very heartbreaking murder of a rising 80s TV starlet: Rebecca Schaeffer. Her death was the catalyst for some of the anti-stalking laws we now have in place - but we also offer some additional resources, because - spoiler - you don’t have to be famous to be a victim of stalking.

2024-08-131h 10Murder, Murder on the WallWay More than We Can Chew: The Karen Read Phenomenon and Make-Up that Doesn’t Melt Under Pressure (or the sun)What are we thinking? This week, Kelly and Stacey join the legions of other podcasts that have taken on the Karen Read Murder Trial - but with our own twist. We attempt to unpack how this little case from outside of BAH-ston became a nail-biting, courthouse flash-mobbing national obsession. We also examine Karen Read’s courtroom style, and wonder who paid for all that designer drip. Finally, in the dog days of summer, we have some recos for hot-weather make-up that stays on your face when you need to keep your cool. Like if you are on trial for mu...
2024-08-061h 12Murder, Murder on the WallGone Girls: Celebrating Wedding Season with a Runaway Bride, a Runaway Mom (but hopefully not Runaway Mascara)It’s summer - and that means weddings. But not for Jennifer Wilbanks, who will forever be cemented in our hearts as the real-life runaway bride. Kelly and Stacey cover this 2005 doozy of a kidnapping hoax, before moving on to November 2016, when California mommy Sherri Papini pulled an infamous disappearing act of her own. We wonder about mascara, and what is the best kind for crying at weddings - or running away from our lives.
