Episode 33 - Ronald O'Bryan & Gerald Turner: The Real Monsters of Halloween

In our Halloween Special, we’re covering two chilling cases:The community of Pasadena, Texas was shocked when news of 8-year-old Timothy O’Bryan’s death broke late on the evening of October 31, 1974. Rumors ran rampant that a madman was poisoning children. What evil lurked behind closed doors? Shock turned to disbelief when the person arrested wasn’t a stranger, but someone close to Timothy. When 9-year-old Lisa Ann French’s best friend was grounded at the last minute, Lisa was left trick-or-treating on her own on October 31, 1973. After her curfew came and went, the search for the missing girl ended days later with the discovery of her naked body, whereas the fight to keep the man responsible off the streets spanned decades.Sources: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1298&dat=19840326&id=9PpNAAAAIBAJ&pg=5217,1118370https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=861&dat=19750527&id=NYkqAAAAIBAJ&pg=5037,4544604https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1346&dat=19741112&id=9I0sAAAAIBAJ&pg=4213,3795834https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1734&dat=19750605&id=gOkbAAAAIBAJ&pg=2762,3318693https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1876&dat=19821024&id=kjwsAAAAIBAJ&pg=6615,5115736https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=861&dat=19750503&id=J4kqAAAAIBAJ&pg=2875,543835https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1697&dat=19821022&id=nzAqAAAAIBAJ&pg=6492,4597510https://abc13.com/post/1974-candyman-turned-halloween-terrifying-pasadena-texas/375883/https://www.vice.com/en/article/halloween-killer-ronald-clark-o-bryan-candy-man/https://www.hcdistrictclerk.com/Common/HistoricalDocument/pdf/COTM_Oct_2021.pdfhttps://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19840331&id=wi5TAAAAIBAJ&pg=3849,6273794https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=861&dat=19840328&id=XfQnAAAAIBAJ&pg=6833,7469626https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1356&dat=19821030&id=IZdPAAAAIBAJ&pg=7130,7703589https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1320&dat=19840401&id=n8ERAAAAIBAJ&pg=6750,28743https://www.chron.com/neighborhood/article/Candy-Man-s-legacy-still-haunting-today-9774087.phphttps://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Man-Who-Killed-Halloween-still-haunts-holiday-1971811.phphttps://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1298&dat=19991031&id=ui4zAAAAIBAJ&pg=6681,8305899https://people.com/lisa-french-halloween-murder-11697665 https://allthatsinteresting.com/halloween-murders/7https://wsww.casemine.com/judgement/us/591494d9add7b049345c40a7https://www.wisn.com/article/murder-of-girl-45-years-ago-changes-trick-or-treat-in-wisconsin/6318115 https://www.fdlreporter.com/story/news/2017/12/06/lisa-ann-frenchs-family-fights-release-wisconsins-infamous-halloween-killer/821216001/ https://www.fdlreporter.com/story/news/2017/12/06/timeline-sentence-release-halloween-killer-gerald-turner/918882001/ https://www.fdlreporter.com/story/news/crime/2022/02/23/halloween-killer-gerald-turner-wont-released-fond-du-lac-county-judge-rules/6912835001/ https://www.fdlreporter.com/story/news/2019/01/15/halloween-killer-gerald-turner-tried-fond-du-lac/2559637002/ https://www.fdlreporter.com/picture-gallery/news/2017/12/06/photos-four-decades-later-effects-of-lisa-ann-frenchs-murder-remain/108190024/ https://www.fdlreporter.com/story/news/2018/10/30/halloween-killer-case-stalled-appeals-court/1711679002/ https://www.fdlreporter.com/story/news/2018/01/26/attorney-general-keep-halloween-killer-gerald-turner-locked-up-wisconsin/1066822001/ https://www.fdlreporter.com/story/news/2018/02/08/fond-du-lacs-halloween-killer-gerald-turner-moved-juneau-county/319515002/ https://fox11online.com/news/local/judge-denies-halloween-killers-bid-for-new-hearing-in-child-sexual-predator-case-gerald-turner-fond-du-lac-taycheedah-trick-or-treating-lisa-ann-french-assault-sand-ridge-treatment-center-mauston-wisconsin https://radiomilwaukee.org/stories/uniquely-milwaukee/2022-05-31/how-wisconsin-became-the-first-state-to-outlaw-discrimination-against-lgbtq-people
