    Legendary Detective Frank Salerno Reveals How He Caught The Hillside Stranglers
    Nov 25 2025
    One of the most infamous serial killer cases in American history — the Hillside Strangler murders — is finally broken down by the detective who solved it. Legendary homicide detective Frank Salerno — the man who helped catch BOTH the Hillside Stranglers and the Night Stalker — breaks down one of America’s most terrifying serial killers. In this episode, Tom Zenner and Kato Kaelin take you deep inside the Hillside Strangler case, a true-crime story filled with terror, mystery, and investigative brilliance.

    Between 1977–1978, Los Angeles was paralyzed as young women were abducted, tortured, and dumped across Hollywood, Glendale, and the hillsides of LA. The media named them The Hillside Stranglers. No one knew if it was one killer… or many.

    Detective Frank Salerno walks us step-by-step through:
    • The first bodies discovered in Hollywood & Glendale
    • How ligature marks, dump sites, and victim patterns exposed a serial killer
    • The forensic challenges of the late 1970s
    • Why early leads went nowhere
    • How multiple police departments (LAPD, LASD, Glendale PD, FBI) collided
    • The chilling discovery of the “kill house” at 703 E Colorado St
    • How investigators realized there were two killers
    • Kenneth Bianchi’s shocking Washington murders
    • The break that finally tied Bianchi & Buono to the LA murders
    • Interrogations, false personalities, manipulation, and the psychological warfare behind the case
    • The longest murder trial in California history
    • How this case reshaped modern serial killer investigations.

    This episode is packed with true crime analysis, criminal psychology, forensic clues, serial killer profiling, interrogation strategy, and real police work from the man who also helped stop the Night Stalker.

    Famed LAPD Detective Reveals the Serial Killer Era of Los Angeles
    Nov 18 2025
    The Wonderland Murders remain one of the most brutal and mysterious crime scenes in Los Angeles history. A house filled with sex, cocaine-fueled chaos, and a massacre that many believe was even bloodier than the Manson murders.

In this episode, Tom Zenner and Kato Kaelin sit down with legendary LAPD detective Bob Souza, longtime partner of Tom Lange (of O.J. Simpson and Wonderland fame), to relive the real cases that defined Hollywood’s dark side.

    From the infamous Wonderland Murders that inspired the film Wonderland, to the Freeway Killer who terrorized Southern California, Bob reveals what really happened behind the headlines, the investigation, the corruption, the chaos, and the courage it took to solve these brutal crimes. He and Lange co-authored The Dirty Business of Murder — and today, you’ll hear the stories straight from one of the men who lived them. ____________________________________________________

    audio Netflix Monster Ed Gein Didn’t Act like they Showed You" - Former FBI Agent Reveals The truth
    Nov 3 2025
    Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story shocked audiences - but does it really capture the truth? We’re joined by Jim Clemente, former FBI profiler, criminal behavioural analyst, and writer for Criminal Minds, to analyze how Netflix dramatized Ed Gein’s psychology and what the real offender profile looks like.

    From Gein’s obsession with his mother to his post-mortem rituals and the myth of the “serial killer” label, Clemente brings a real FBI lens to separate fact from Hollywood fiction. He also shares insights on how true cases - like Jeffrey Dahmer and Albert Fish - reveal the psychology of killers who blur the line between horror and reality. According to Jim Clemente, retired FBI behavioural analyst and criminal profiler, when it comes to the "nature vs. nurture" debate, "genetics loads the gun, personality and psychology aim it, and your experiences pull the trigger..."

    As a criminal profiler, it was his job to catch murderers, serial killers and rapists and pick up the slack where forensic evidence failed. Clemente explains how he went about his job tracking down some of the world's most dangerous people. Clemente is a retired FBI behavioural analyst and criminal profiler, and co-host of "‪@realcrimeprofile929‬ ," a true crime podcast distributed by Wondery.
