Splintered Minds goes past the crime scene tape to uncover what drives people to commit unthinkable acts - and what happens when tragedy strikes.

Each episode explores both crimes and disasters through the lens of psychology: motive, trauma, fear, and the mental patterns that lead to devastation.

You’ll hear stories told with compelling detail and expert insight. No shock tactics. No filler. Just gripping storytelling and a deeper look into the human mind - how cruelty, obsession, and collapse take shape, and how we can recognize them in the world around us.

If you want true stories that challenge how you think about human nature, listen to Splintered Minds.

  • Sylvia Likens: The Murder Next Door
    Dec 31 2025

    In 1965, sixteen-year-old Sylvia Likens moved into a crowded Indianapolis home for twenty dollars a week. Within months, that house became the site of the most brutal child torture case in state history. What started as late payments and small punishments spiraled into a closed world of beatings, humiliation, and group violence that no one outside the door stopped.

    This episode strips the case down to its core: how ordinary people allowed cruelty to grow, how responsibility evaporated, and how Sylvia’s final days exposed a household—and a community—failing at every turn. Direct, unsentimental, and grounded in the record, it tells the story without excuses and without looking away.

  • Richard Chase: The Vampire of Sacramento
    Dec 17 2025

    He didn’t stalk. He turned doorknobs. Locked, he walked away. Unlocked, he walked in—and Sacramento became a hunting ground.

    This episode dives into the collapse of Richard Trenton Chase, the “Vampire of Sacramento”: a man convinced his organs were vanishing and his blood was turning to dust. From animal blood rituals and delusions about stolen arteries to random door checks that ended in slaughter, we follow how unchecked psychosis, a gun, and a city full of unlocked homes produced one of the most disturbing murder sprees in American crime.

    No heist. No master plan. Just a mind coming apart—and the bodies left behind.

  • Bob Crane: From sitcom hero to crime scene headline
    Dec 3 2025

    June 29th, 1978. Bob Crane—star of Hogan’s Heroes—was found bludgeoned to death in his Scottsdale apartment, a cord around his neck and severe head wounds from a blunt object. There was no sign of forced entry.

    Crane had been living a double life: beloved sitcom actor by day, consumed by his obsession with sex and videotaping by night. His friend, video technician John Carpenter, often joined him, helping record his encounters.

    Behind the laughter was a man consumed by obsession. Fame fed his ego. The camera fed his need for control.

    When Crane tried to walk away, the story turned deadly.
