True Crime Dumpster#74: Nathaniel-Bar-JonahAre some people just born bad? We’d like to think not, but serial pedophile and suspected cannibalistic killer Nathaniel Bar-Jonah seems to be just that--born bad. From very early on, he exhibited violent, disturbing, sexually-sadistic tendencies. Additionally, he lived in a time and place where he could virtually fly under the radar--free to rape and prey on children. Enabled by both his family and inept law enforcement, Nathaniel Bar-Jonah was the 375-pound boogie man that we all need to fear. Join us this week as we discuss this pile of garbage.

Kendrick Johnson (aka KJ), 17, was found dead in a mat at Lowndes High School in 2013. The circumstances of his death have been a source of conjecture, gossip, allegations, and lawsuits ever since. The Justice Department closed the case in June 2016, saying it could not meet the high legal threshold needed to file federal criminal charges. It would have needed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that someone had killed Johnson and was...2021-03-191h 04

True Crime Dumpster#62: Chris Benoit & the Dark Side of Wrestling w/ Guest Host MasonSome say professional wrestling is fake--just a bunch of ‘roided out maniacs in tights acting out a play. They’re not totally wrong. While professional wrestling is scripted with story lines and predetermined winners and losers, the level of athleticism and commitment to the art is very real. Also, very real are the injuries sustained and the cumulative effects of years of head trauma, and concussions, which is the same with professional football players and boxers. These head injuries can lead to dangerous personality disorders and violence. Chris Benoit is a prime example of this. Join Kevin, Amy, and our...2021-02-2246 min

Many people were in and out of there, but no tenant was as innocent or tragic as Vera Jo Reigle. Cheri Brooks, AKA Sugar Babe, was the ring-leader of the “Brooks Clan,” a trashy “Crip” family of misfits who wreaked havoc in this small town. Referred to as “Frequent Fliers” by 9-11 and the local police, it seems that many of the Brooks’ tragedies and maladies could have been avoided.
