  • Bias much??

    Seriously, not only are the episodes factually incorrect, but no one cares about your option. You should discuss facts, not your stupid opinion. Good bye.

    2026/01/09: Lately there's been an issue with this and a couple of other Crime House podcasts re premium subscriptions — we were told that paid subscribers would get both episodes at once for the 2 part'ers, however it's been my experience that they aren't being uploaded together, and it's frustrating for those paying. I choose to pay for no ads, but also for this particular reason. Please let us know if that policy has changed?

    I like the types of cases discussed on this podcast; it's definit... more

  • Murdaugh Pt 2

    I love this podcast. The only thing I am going to nitpick is in the episode for Alex Murdaugh, the narrator says that there is a federal law that requires banks to report checks in excess of $10k. That is not true, banks are required to report CASH transactions over $10k.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ted Bundy Pt. 2: One of America’s Most Infamous Serial Killers
Q: How could someone so close to Ted Bundy not fully believe he was capable of murder?
Hindsight shows that many people who knew Bundy found him to be charming and reliable, masking a different, dangerous side which only emerged through his escalating violent acts and the failure of those around him to fully identify the threat.
Aileen Wuornos: The Monster Behind An Oscar Winning Performance Pt. 1 | Serial Killers & Murderous Minds
Q: Sometimes people throw out Ted Bundy as an example of how this kind of familial deception can negatively impact children. Are there any misconceptions you can dispel here, Dr. Engels?
The misconception is that adoption or being misled about family directly causes violence; instead, a combination of ongoing trauma, unstable caregiving, and lack of proper support can elevate risk, while most adoptees grow into well-adjusted adults. The key is recognizing the systemic failures to provide safety, validation, and intervention.
FBI Agent Mark Putnam Pt. 2 | Serial Killers & Murderous Minds
Q: What does it say about him that he spent his whole career fighting for justice but views himself as above the law?
It suggests that his identification with justice can evolve into a belief that the rules apply to others and not himself.
The Murder of John O’Keefe Part 1 with Katie Ring | Murder: True Crime Stories
Q: Was the relationship between John and Karen reported accurately by media?
Katie believed it was pretty accurate but mentioned that it was a complex relationship with significant emotional struggles.
INTERVIEW: NXIVM with Sarah Edmondson
Q: What was the final turning point for you?
Sarah mentions the invitation to a secret women's group that led to her being branded, which ultimately led her to realize the truth about Nxivm.
