As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Kerri Mcauley with me today.

In January 2017, 32-year-old Kerri McAuley, a mother of two, was found beaten to death in her flat in Norwich, England, at the hands of her former partner, Joe Storey. Their relationship had been marked by a long history of violence and abuse and despite warnings, restraining orders, and previous attacks, the danger was never fully addressed.

Storey’s assault was savage and sustained: Kerri suffered 19 separate fractures to her face, and police later found a disturbing image on his phone showing him with her blood smeared on his face after the attack.

At trial, prosecutors described the murder as one of the worst cases of domestic violence to come before the court. In 2017, Joe Storey was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 24 years.

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Jennifer Morey with me today.

In April 1995, 25-year-old Houston lawyer Jennifer Morey woke up in the middle of the night to a nightmare: an intruder on top of her, a knife at her throat. The attacker wasn’t a stranger off the street, he was Bryan Wayne Gibson, a Pinkerton security guard assigned to her apartment complex, hired to keep residents safe.

Jennifer fought back fiercely as Gibson stabbed her and slashed her throat, missing a major artery by millimeters. Bleeding heavily, she barricaded herself in the bathroom, then managed to call 911 on a cell phone and in a terrifying twist, the man knocking at her door claiming to be “security” was Gibson returning to finish the job. She refused to open it, and police arrived in time.

Gibson was arrested that same night. He was later convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison. He was released in 2015 and is listed as a registered sex offender in Texas

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Kaysi McLeod, LeAnn Emry, Jennifer Marcum, and Terry Kimball with me today.

In the early 2000s, convicted con-man Scott Kimball reinvented himself as a federal informant and used that identity to hide something far darker. After meeting Lori McLeod, he quickly married her, gaining access to her life… and to her 19-year-old daughter, Kaysi McLeod.

Not long after the marriage, Kaysi vanished. Kimball claimed she had run away but investigators would later uncover that he had lured her away and murdered her. Over time, more disappearances emerged around him: Jennifer Marcum, LeAnn Emry, and Tamara Polson all connected to Kimball, all missing.

For years, Kimball fooled law enforcement, family members, and even the FBI, who believed he was assisting them while he continued to kill. It wasn’t until patterns of lies, financial fraud, and forensic evidence began to surface that the truth finally unraveled.

In 2009, Scott Kimball pleaded guilty to multiple counts of murder and was sentenced to 70 years in prison. The case remains one of the most disturbing examples of manipulation, a predator who used trust, marriage, and authority as weapons.

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Bjork with me today.

In 1996, Icelandic singer Björk became the target of an obsessive and dangerous stalker: Ricardo López, a 21-year-old fan living in Florida. Over the course of months, López isolated himself and recorded hundreds of disturbing video diaries, documenting his fixation on the singer and his growing resentment when he learned she was in a relationship.

The obsession eventually escalated into a violent plan directed at Björk. Before law enforcement could intervene, López took his own life and the recordings he left behind revealed the full extent of his delusions, anger, and fixation. Fortunately, Björk was not harmed.

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Susan Lee Hutson with me today.

Rachel Hutson was just 19 years old when she carried out a shocking and calculated crime. Armed with a handgun she had taken from her father’s safe, Rachel shot and killed her mother, Susan Lee Hutson, inside the family home. Moments later, she took a photograph of Susan’s body and sent it to her father as a message.

Investigators said the killing was motivated by anger and resentment, and that Rachel showed little emotion in the hours that followed. She later confessed to the murder, and in court, prosecutors described the act as deliberate and cold-blooded. Rachel Hutson was ultimately convicted and sentenced to prison for her mother’s murder.

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Linda, Steve, Brittany, and Mary with me today.

On New Year’s Eve 2017, what should have been a quiet family celebration in Long Branch, New Jersey, turned into a tragedy. Just before midnight, 16-year-old Scott Kologi opened fire inside his family home, killing his parents, his sister, and a family friend while relatives and neighbors gathered nearby to ring in the new year.

Investigators later revealed that the crime was carried out with a rifle kept legally in the home. There had been no prior warning or argument, the attack unfolded without explanation, leaving an entire community stunned and grieving.

At trial, the defense argued that Kologi suffered from severe mental illness, but a jury ultimately rejected those claims. In 2023, he was found guilty of four counts of murder and sentenced to 160 years in prison.

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Mary-Jo and Blake Hadley with me today.

In July 2011, 17-year-old Tyler Hadley shocked the quiet community of Port St. Lucie, Florida, when he murdered his parents, Blake and Mary-Jo Hadley, inside their home and then hosted a house party while their bodies remained hidden in a bedroom.

For hours, dozens of teens drank, played music, and partied as rumors spread that Tyler had done “something terrible.” One friend eventually alerted police, leading to Tyler’s arrest. Investigators later revealed that Tyler had planned the murders in advance and carried them out to ensure he could throw the party without interference.

At trial, prosecutors described the crime as cold and deliberate. Tyler pleaded no contest and was sentenced to life in prison, though his sentence was later reviewed due to juvenile sentencing laws. In 2018, the court re-affirmed a life sentence, citing the extreme nature of the crime.

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Kaye Tiede and Beth Potts with me today.

In December 1990, a quiet Christmas gathering turned into a nightmare at a remote family cabin in Oakley, Utah. Kaye Tiede and her close friend Beth Potts were brutally murdered inside the cabin by two men who had been invited into the home.

Kaye’s husband, Rolf Tiede, was also shot multiple times and left for dead. The attackers doused him with gasoline, set the cabin on fire, and fled the scene with two hostages: Kaye’s 20-year-old daughter Linae Tiede and her 16-year-old sister, Tricia. Against all odds, Rolf survived and was able to provide crucial information to investigators.

The manhunt that followed ended with the arrest of the two perpetrators. Both were convicted of multiple counts of murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, and arson, and were sentenced to life in prison, ensuring they would never be released.
