  • 81 - Episode 76: Contact Lens Clarity - The Murder of Janet Abaroa

    Wearing glasses or contact lenses is a pretty normal thing for lots of visually impared people around the globe, but little did the family of Janet Abaroa know that her contacts would lead to the arrest of her murderer almost 10 years after her unfortunate death.

    Janet and her husband Raven seemed to be the perfect couple to all their family and friends, but 7 years into their relationship and only a few years into marriage, Raven would get "the itch" and cheat on his unsuspecting wife. Shortly after revealing his infidelity, Janet would find out she was pregnant with a baby boy, and Raven promised to do everything in his power to change and become a better husband and father. 

    On the evening of April 26, 2005 Raven decided he would leave his wife and 6 month old son at home to go to the fields to play soccer, but would return home a few hours later to his wife's lifeless body. Listen to Sam tell the sad story of the loss of Janet and the insane years after her death that left her family with so many questions.

  • 80 - Bonus Episode: The Salem Witch Trials

    AHHH, we have been so busy and we still wanted to bring you some content so please enjoy the very first episode we recorded for our Patreon.

    Sam walks us through the insane history of the Salem Witch Trials, and it might make you sit back and think.... Wow, were people really that horrible to each other?
    Damned if you do, damned if you don't back in the time of the witch trials, and if you were a woman and made the slightest mistake or let any color of the freak flag fly, people would be shouting from the roof tops "SHE'S A WITCH!!"

    Please enjoy this bonus content from our way back files, and join us as we venture outside of our normal scope of the Carolinas.

  • 79 - Episode 75: The NC Nightstalker - Linwood Earl Forte

    Have you ever had the overwhelming urge to creep around a neighborhood at night, break into someone's home, and physically assault them to the point of death? Yeah, no... Me neither.

    Linwood Earl Forte's childhood was definitely not ideal, and ultimately his environment shaped him into a very terrible person, whose desires, no matter how depraved they were, became amped up while he was using drugs.

    Linwood would prey on elderly women hidden by the darkness of the early morning hours, and take advantage of them when they least expected it. Listen as Tiffany tells his twisted story that will leave you with so many questions, but more than likely the main one of... Why?

  • 78 - Episode 74: Meanest Man in America - The Life and Death of Pee Wee Gaskins

    Do you think someone can be born evil, or do you think someone's heinous actions are a result of their upbringing and childhood experience? This is a hot topic of discussion this week with Sam's coverage of the notorious Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins, who ultimately is known by his nickname Pee Wee, due to his small stature.

    Pee Wee had a very rough childhood which included lots of sexual assault, mistreatment, joining a gang when he was an adolescent, and overall negative life experiences that more than likely made him turn to a life of crime at the very young age of 11. Unfortunately Pee Wee was triggered easily by people's comments on his appearance, so he would never have a chance to calm his temper and try to become a better person. It seems like evil was in his blood and there was no turning back, therefore he was also known as the Meanest Man in America.

    Listen to our second heavy hitter from South Carolina, where Sam talks us through Pee Wee's life and death and all of the unfortunate victims he claimed throughout.

  • 77 - Episode 73: The Daylight Monster - Larry Gene Bell

    Have you ever had a gut feeling that someone was following you or watching you perform your usual daily tasks of life? Unfortunately for the two victims highlighted in our case this week, they did not have that feeling.

    Maybe 17-year-old Shari Faye Smith was just riding the high of excitement with her impending high school graduation, and was too focused on the next chapter of her life to notice that someone followed her to her home, her safe space, to invade her personal privacy.

    Maybe 9-year-old Debra Helmick was too busy playing pretend with her 3-year-old brother in her front yard right outside a window to notice the silver car stalking them.

    This week we bring you the case of the notorious Larry Gene Bell, a South Carolina murderer who doesn't even need to be name dropped for locals to know who you are talking about. Listen to Tiffany and Sam discuss his evil plot to disrupt the lives of the Smith and Helmick family by abducting and murdering their sweet, bright blue-eyed, blonde daughters in the daytime hours for everyone to see.

    This case has been a long time coming, so let us know what you think, did we do it justice?
