    She Opened the Door Expecting Santa. She Was Shot in the Face.
    Dec 18 2025
    On Christmas Eve 2008, eight-year-old Leticia opened the door expecting Santa Claus — instead, she found her aunt's ex-husband in a custom-fitted suit, armed with five handguns and a homemade flamethrower, ready to deliver his final gift to the family.

    IN THIS EPISODE: (Christmas archives episode from December 13, 2020): We’ll look at some of the history of Santa and his cohorts – and how they have all not been as jolly as we know them now. (And You Thought You Knew About Santa) *** And I’ll tell you an Icelandic Christmas story that is so creepy that the government was forced to censor it. (The Icelandic Yule Brothers) *** But first, Christmas parties are a time for joy, laughs, and family. A time to be shared with the ones you love. But sometimes, the ones who love us, have a different, more sinister plan. That was the case of Bruce Jeffrey Pardo, the Killer Santa. We begin with that story.
