    Ep 60 - The Icebox Murders
    Jun 5 2025
    Welcome back, Spooky Squad, to Scream and Sugar - your true crime coffee hour. This week, we’re heading to Houston, Texas, to uncover the chilling mystery of the Icebox Murders—a gruesome 1965 double homicide that left investigators reeling.

    When police forced entry into the home of elderly couple Fred and Edwina Rogers, what they found inside the refrigerator shocked even seasoned detectives. But the most haunting part? Their reclusive son, Charles, had vanished, leaving behind a house full of clues, cryptic diary entries, and conspiracy theories that converge on the JFK assassination (!). Join us as we untangle the twisted tale of paranoia, espionage, and family secrets. Was Charles Rogers a cold-blooded killer, or was he running from something even darker? Grab your coffee and hang with us as we munch on snacks from Ikeda's in Auburn, CA—this one’s a doozy.

    And remember to stay spooky, y'all!!

    May 28 2025
    Welcome back to Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour.

    This week, we're diving into the chilling and tragic case of Aileen Wuornos—often labeled as America's first female serial killer. But was she truly a cold-blooded predator, or a deeply damaged woman failed by every system around her? Join us as Candace traces Aileen’s turbulent life—from a childhood filled with abuse and abandonment to the Florida highways where seven men met their end. We’ll explore her controversial trial, the media frenzy that followed, and the psychological complexities that still spark debate today.

    Was it self-defense, as she claimed, or something much darker? Brew something strong—this one’s heavy.
    And remember to stay spooky, y’all!

    Ep 58 - The Unbelievable Sao Paulo Guarapiranga Reservoir Mutilation
    May 20 2025
    Welcome back ya'll! Today, we are diving deep into one of the creepiest cases we've covered. This is one of Brazil’s most disturbing and unexplained cases — the Guarapiranga Reservoir Mutilation. In 1988, the body of an unidentified man was discovered near São Paulo's Guarapiranga Reservoir. What shocked investigators wasn't just the death — it was the horrifying, surgical precision of the mutilations. No blood. No signs of struggle. No clear cause of death. Was it a sadistic human crime, an elaborate cover-up, or something far more unexplainable? Join us as we dissect the forensics, explore the theories — from criminal to paranormal — and piece together the unsettling puzzle that has baffled experts for decades.

    Ep 56 -The Extraordinary Case of D.B. Cooper (Half-Caf!)
    May 1 2025
    Welcome back to Scream and Sugar—your true crime coffee hour.

    This week, we're hanging with Candace as she guides us through one of the most legendary unsolved cases in American history: the mystery of D.B. Cooper. In 1971, a man boarded a plane in Portland under the name Dan Cooper, hijacked it midair, and parachuted out with $200,000 in ransom—never to be seen again.

    Who was he? Did he survive the jump? And why has no one ever come forward with answers in over 50 years? From skyjacking and FBI files to wild theories involving missing uncles and secret identities, we’ll explore every twist in the story of the only unsolved hijacking in U.S. history! This episode includes NEW EVIDENCE that leads us even closer to who-dunnit.

    So grab your drink and settle in—and remember to stay spooky!
