13 O’Clock Episode 451: White Supremacist Serial Killer Joseph Paul Franklin

10 Apr 2025 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Joseph Paul Franklin was an American white supremacist and serial killer active during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Driven by a violent ideology rooted in racism and antisemitism, Franklin targeted Black individuals, interracial couples, and Jewish people across multiple states. He is believed to have committed at least 22 murders and numerous other violent crimes, often motivated by his extremist beliefs. Notably, he was convicted for the 1977 sniper attack on civil rights activist Vernon Jordan, who survived the shooting. Franklin also confessed to the 1978 synagogue shooting in St. Louis and an assassination attempt on Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt. He was ultimately sentenced to death and was executed by lethal injection in Missouri in 2013.

13 O’Clock Episode 439: Bryan Kohberger and the University of Idaho Murders

16 Jan 2025 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

In November 2022, four University of Idaho students—Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin—were tragically killed in a brutal stabbing attack at an off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho. The incident occurred in the early morning hours of November 13, sparking widespread fear and grief in the small college town. The victims were found in their shared home near the university campus, and the case quickly drew national attention due to the violent nature of the crime and the initial lack of leads. The investigation spanned weeks, involving local, state, and federal authorities. In late December 2022, Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old Ph.D. criminology student at Washington State University, was arrested and charged with the murders. Authorities linked him to the crime through DNA evidence, cell phone records, and surveillance footage. The case remains ongoing as Kohberger awaits trial.

13 O’Clock Episode 438: The Pulse Nightclub Shooting

9 Jan 2025 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

The Pulse nightclub shooting was a tragic mass shooting that occurred on June 12, 2016, in Orlando, Florida. A gunman, armed with an assault rifle and a handgun, opened fire at Pulse, a popular LGBTQ+ nightclub, killing 49 people and injuring 53 others in what became one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history at the time. The attack, later identified as an act of domestic terrorism and a hate crime, targeted a community gathering space that symbolized inclusivity and safety. The shooter, Omar Mateen, was killed in a standoff with police after a three-hour ordeal. The tragedy not only devastated the victims’ families and the LGBTQ+ community but also sparked national debates on gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, and terrorism. In its aftermath, vigils and memorials were held worldwide to honor the victims and advocate for stronger efforts to combat hate and violence.

13 O’Clock Episode 413: Ronald DeFeo Jr. – The Real Amityville Horror

18 Jul 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Ronald DeFeo Jr. was the perpetrator of a notorious mass murder that took place on November 13, 1974, in Amityville, New York. DeFeo, 23 years old at the time, murdered his entire family: his parents, Ronald DeFeo Sr. and Louise DeFeo, and his four siblings, Dawn, Allison, Marc, and John Matthew, as they slept in their home. The victims were shot with a .35 caliber Marlin rifle. DeFeo initially claimed that the killings were carried out by a mob hitman, but his story quickly unraveled. He later confessed to the murders, stating that he had heard voices urging him to kill his family. The case gained widespread attention and eventually inspired the book and subsequent film adaptations of The Amityville Horror, which portrayed the family’s house as haunted. In his trial, DeFeo’s defense attempted to plead insanity, claiming that he heard voices that compelled him to commit the murders. However, he was found guilty of six counts of second-degree murder and was sentenced to six concurrent sentences of 25 years to life in prison. Ronald DeFeo Jr. died in custody on March 12, 2021.

13 O’Clock Episode 174 – Richard “The Iceman” Kuklinski

17 Dec 2019 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

On this mobbed-up installment, Tom and Jenny are talking about one of the most terrifying, prolific, and cold-blooded contract killers the United States has ever seen, Richard “The Iceman” Kuklinski. Allegedly working as a freelance hit man for all five of the major New York City crime families as well as a few others, Kuklinski was as professional and heartless as they come, killing people in a variety of gruesome ways, sometimes for money and sometimes just because his victim pissed him off. Ultimately convicted of six murders, he may have committed from 100-300 total, though his true victim tally is not known. Put on your cement shoes and listen to episode 174’s chilling breakdown of the man widely called “The One Man Army” and “The Devil Himself” by his criminal colleagues.

13 O’Clock Episode 132 – Ted Bundy

26 Feb 2019 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

On yet another true crime-related episode, Tom and Jenny are discussing a serial killer who has resurfaced in the public consciousness recently because of a popular Netflix documentary: Ted Bundy. The handsome, charismatic (according to some) Ted is still a fascinating topic, since his supposedly clean-cut veneer masked a sociopath of almost unimaginable proportions, who murdered at least thirty women in horrifying ways. What was going on behind those blandly good-looking features that made him such a monster? And what were the consequences on the families of the victims? Keep your barf bag handy and maybe drink some soothing tea (or booze), because episode 132 is about to get rough.
