  • EPISODE 85 - The Toy-Box Killer - PART ONE
    Jul 30 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    PART ONE - David Parker Ray, known as the "Toy Box Killer," was an American serial rapist and torturer who kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and brutally tortured his victims in a soundproof trailer he called his "Toy Box." He meticulously planned his crimes, using a chilling audio tape to psychologically dominate and instill fear in his captives, detailing the torture they would endure and asserting his control. Ray's crimes were marked by extreme sadism and the use of sophisticated tools and methods to inflict pain and suffering. Despite strong evidence and confessions from accomplices, the exact number of his victims remains unknown, as many were never found. His heinous acts and the horrifying details of his "Toy Box" have made him one of the most notorious and disturbing figures in criminal history.

  • EPISODE 83 - The House Of 200 Demons
    Jul 16 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    The "House of 200 Demons," also known as the Ammons Haunting Case, involved Latoya Ammons and her family, who reported intense paranormal activity in their Gary, Indiana home from 2011-2012. The phenomena included unexplained noises, children's unusual behavior like walking backward up walls, and instances of levitation, attracting attention from medical personnel, police, and Child Protective Services. Reverend Michael Maginot conducted multiple exorcisms, and the family eventually moved out, ceasing the reported activity. The case drew significant media attention, became the subject of a documentary by paranormal investigator Zak Bagans, who later demolished the house, and remains a point of contention between believers in the supernatural and skeptics.

  • EPISODE 82 - The Toxic Woman
    Jul 9 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    The case of "The Toxic Woman" involves Gloria Ramirez, a 31-year-old woman from Riverside, California, who was admitted to the Riverside General Hospital on February 19, 1994, with complications from advanced cervical cancer. During her treatment, medical staff noticed an oily sheen and ammonia-like smell from her blood, and subsequently, several staff members fell ill, exhibiting symptoms like fainting, shortness of breath, and muscle spasms. Despite efforts to save her, Ramirez died that night. The incident, which led to the hospitalization of five staff members, sparked extensive investigations. A prominent theory suggested that Ramirez had used a pain-relieving substance, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which might have transformed into a toxic compound in the hospital. The exact cause of the symptoms remains unresolved, rendering the case an enduring medical mystery.

  • EPISODE 81 - The Oxford School Shooting
    Jul 2 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    The Oxford School Shooting occurred on November 30, 2021, at Oxford High School in Oxford Township, Michigan. A 15-year-old sophomore student carried out the attack using a semi-automatic handgun that his father had purchased days earlier. The shooting resulted in the deaths of four students—Tate Myre (16), Hana St. Juliana (14), Madisyn Baldwin (17), and Justin Shilling (17)—and injured seven others, including a teacher.

    Law enforcement officers apprehended the shooter within minutes of the first shots being fired. He was charged as an adult with multiple counts, including first-degree murder and terrorism causing death. Additionally, the shooter's parents were charged with involuntary manslaughter, as authorities argued they had failed to secure the firearm and had ignored warning signs about their son's behavior.

    The incident shocked the community and the nation, prompting discussions about school safety, gun control, and parental responsibility.
