  • Mostly spot-on BUT…

    For the episodes regarding Ken McElroy dated March 17 for part one Carter makes a mistake multiple times. He refers to Skidmore, Missouri as southern Missouri. Anyone with a map knows that it is in the northern most portion of Missouri, north of Kansas City, north of Saint Joseph. I wish it could be corrected because it’s really not that hard to look at a map.

    I used to listed to the conspiracy pod that he hosted and wasn’t always super engaged in the topics, but his voice and inflection while storytelling kept me coming back. I just recently stumbled upon this one and it’s my new favorite! True crime is my vibe and Carter Roy was made for this, please never ever stop.

  • Great

    Love this podcast. My only feedback is to do some research on pronunciations of important people/places in the cases. For example, in the zodiac episode recently- Dave Toschi - Dave toss-key not “toe-she.” Also Melvin Belli- not Melvin belly but Melvin Bell-eye. I hyper fixated on this case for years, so the mispronunciations took me out of the story. Otherwise, great stories!

UNSOLVED: Ken McElroy 2, Vigilante Justice with Tyler Allen (Minds of Madness)
Q: So yeah, when you first heard the story and like when you get to the part where Ken McElroy is killed, what were your sort of emotional reactions at, just like as a person hearing the story?
The guest describes a mix of anticipation and heavy reflection, acknowledging the buildup and the emotional weight of a town facing its own violent history, and how those feelings shift once the violence unfolds and the consequences become tangible.
SOLVED: Missy Avila 1
Q: What drives a person to kill?
Uncontrollable rage, overwhelming fear, unbearable jealousy, or something deeper in our psyche.
HOLIDAY SPECIAL: Thanksgiving Murders Pt. 2
Q: How do families react to sudden loss with no clear explanation?
Families often cycle through grief stages—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—while unresolved grief may lead to blame and conflict among family members.
HOLIDAY SPECIAL: Thanksgiving Murders Pt. 2
Q: What makes a killer?
Family dynamics and unresolved emotions can transform relationships into deadly confrontations during the holidays, while psychological instability can lead individuals to commit horrific acts.
UNSOLVED: The Murder of John O'Keefe 2 with Katie Ring

The lack of injuries on John's body and expert testimonies suggesting he was not hit by a car likely influenced the jury's decision to acquit Karen of the more serious charges.
