13 O’Clock Episode 277 LIVE: Five of the Worst Serial Killers You Might Not Have Heard Of

/ Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

As rare as serial killers are, the fact that there are billions of people in the world means that, statistically, there are way MORE serial killers than most of us are likely comfortable with. Everyone has heard of the “big names,” of course, but what about the alarming number of these monsters that slip through the cracks and become largely forgotten, even though their crimes are no less horrific than those of their more infamous brethren? On tonight’s installment, Tom and Jenny discuss five serial killers whose names you might not know, but who are every bit as terrible as the more familiar rogues’ gallery. We’ll talk about Randy Kraft, a Californian serial killer convicted of 16 murders and suspected of at least 51 others; the Hungarian Béla Kiss, thought to have murdered at least 24 young women; Robert Christian Hansen, who murdered between 17 and 21 victims near Anchorage, Alaska; “Bayou Strangler” Ronald Dominique, a serial killer and rapist who murdered at least 23 men and boys in Louisiana; and Gerard Schaefer, who was convicted of two murders in 1973, but was suspected of more than thirty. Go on a journey into the more obscure corners of the serial killer hellscape on a blood-drenched episode 277.

13 O’Clock Episode 276 LIVE: The Pennsylvania Torso Murders, aka The Murder Swamp Killings

/ Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Most everyone who knows something about American crime has heard of the Cleveland Torso Murders, a series of ghastly mutilation-style homicides that plagued the Kingsbury Run shanty town in the 1930s. But what is less well known is that right around the same time period, there were several very similar killings taking place not far away, in western Pennsylvania, where horrifically dismembered and occasionally burned bodies would turn up with alarming frequency, sometimes in abandoned boxcars, and sometimes in a patch of godforsaken land known as Murder Swamp or Hell’s Half Acre. While contemporary and modern investigators believe there may have been some connection between the Cleveland crimes and some of the Pennsylvania ones, others are not so sure, attributing the PA slayings to mafia-style killings by the Black Hand, or the results of warring factions of bootleggers in the days of Prohibition. Keep a barf bag handy for this one, because we’re about to go full-on grim gorefest on a blood-soaked episode 276.

Read the book Hell’s Wasteland, where I got most of the info about this case.

13 O’Clock Episode 271 LIVE: The Mercy Brown Vampire Incident & the Bridget Cleary Fairy Murder

/ Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

It’s Halloween week, 13 O’Clockers, so we’ve got two creepy historical incidents to chill your blood with! First, we’ll be discussing the curious case of Mercy Brown, sometimes known as the Last Vampire in New England, who was exhumed in the late 19th century because the townsfolk believed she was undead and feeding on her family members. Then we’ll discuss the bizarre Irish murder of Bridget Cleary, whose husband killed her in a horrific manner because he seemed to genuinely believe she was not actually his wife, but had been replaced by a fairy changeling. Turn down the lights, curl up with a blanket and your beverage of choice, and spend some spooky time with Tom and Jenny on a live pre-Halloween hootenanny on episode 271.

13 O’Clock Episode 268 LIVE: Elliot Rodger and the Incel Community

/ Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Back in 2014, a young college student in Isla Vista, California posted a chilling YouTube video in which he detailed his violent plan for essentially punishing the world because women wouldn’t sleep with him. He then went on a rampage, stabbing, shooting, and hitting pedestrians with his car, ending up killing 6 people and wounding 14. Elliot Rodger then became the face and at times a bizarre “saint” to the online incel community, a group of (mostly) men who feel entitled to sexual favors from women and further feel justified in their hatred and violent rage when they don’t get it. In fact, Rodger’s appalling crime even became the horrifying inspiration for several incel killers to follow, such as Chris Harper-Mercer, Nikolas Cruz, and Alek Minassian. Tom and Jenny talk about the Isla Vista killings, about Elliot Rodger and his delusional manifesto, and about the larger online “manosphere,” segments of which actually laud crimes of this type as justifiable revenge. It’s a literal battle of the sexes on a live and inebriated episode 268.

13 O’Clock Episode 265 LIVE: The Disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa

/ Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

The disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa is certainly one of the most discussed and debated cases in the annals of American crime. Hoffa, who began as a labor organizer while still a teenager and eventually became one of the most powerful labor leaders in the United States, unfortunately chose to associate with some pretty unsavory characters in order to achieve some of his ends. Many people speculate that it was this involvement with certain Mafia figures that led to Hoffa vanishing in 1975. To this day, his ultimate fate and resting place remains unknown, despite multiple theories and a few deathbed confessions. Join Tom and Jenny on this twisting saga on a mobbed-up episode 265.

13 O’Clock Episode 264 LIVE: The Killing of Ken Rex McElroy

/ Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

No one likes a bully, and on tonight’s true crime discussion, Tom and Jenny talk about a notorious case whereby essentially an entire small town decided to take matters into their own hands. Ken Rex McElroy had been committing all kinds of horrendous crimes for decades and largely escaped justice, but one day in 1981, dozens of townsfolk in Skidmore, Missouri — who had been living in fear of this man for as long as they could remember — decided they’d had enough. Ken was gunned down in broad daylight in front of between thirty and ninety witnesses, and to this day, no one in town has made a peep as to who the responsible parties were. Is vigilante justice ever…well, justifiable? Wade into the quagmire with Tom and Jenny on a vengeance-fueled episode 264.

13 O’Clock Episode 262 LIVE: Munchausen Syndrome

/ Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

The mental illness variously known as Munchausen syndrome or factitious disorder is a rare but fascinating malady in which an individual either fakes illnesses for attention, deliberately gives themselves symptoms of an illness, or — in the case of Munchausen syndrome by proxy — makes someone else, usually a child, ill on purpose. On this intriguing but troubling episode 262, Tom and Jenny discuss this mysterious illness and its pathologies, as well as talk about several well-known cases of it.

13 O’Clock Episode 260 LIVE: Charles Whitman, the Texas Tower Sniper

/ Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

In August of 1966, a horrifying mass murder occurred on the University of Texas campus in Austin, when a 25-year-old ex-Marine named Charles Whitman — who had stabbed his wife and mother to death the night before — climbed to the top of the campus clock tower and began shooting at random passersby, ultimately killing 16 people and an unborn baby, and wounding 31 others, before being killed by police. A later autopsy revealed that Whitman had a large tumor in his brain which may have accounted for his actions, though this remains unclear. Travel with Tom and Jenny back to this turbulent time on a terrifying and tragic episode 260.

13 O’Clock Episode 257 LIVE: Jack the Ripper

/ Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

On this blood-drenched installment, Tom and Jenny are finally getting around to discussing the OG of unidentified serial killers, the mysterious madman known as Jack the Ripper. In 1888, amid the crushing poverty of the East End in London, a shadowy figure stalked prostitutes, slaughtering and mutilating at least five of them over a relatively brief period. The murderer was never caught, and over the ensuing century, countless theories about the identity of the killer have swirled around, some of them more fanciful than others. So join 13 O’Clock on a journey through the dim, cobblestone streets of Victorian London as we break down the horrific crimes and the numerous suspects that have come to light in the years since, on a grisly episode 257.
