Ronald Gene Simmons - The Devil of Pope County
DEADLY INTENT25 Maalis

Ronald Gene Simmons - The Devil of Pope County

In December 1987, Ronald Gene Simmons committed the deadliest family massacre in United States history, killing 16 people over the span of a week 14 of them his own family members. But this wasn't a crime of passion or a sudden snap. Simmons planned for two months, kept detailed lists, and lived with the bodies of his victims for four days before calmly going Christmas shopping at Sears.

This episode of Deadly Intent examines not just what Simmons did, but why family annihilators kill and what made Simmons different from the typical profile. Unlike most family annihilators who die by suicide immediately after the murders, Simmons wanted to live. He had a second target list. And when he was finally caught, he demanded his own execution.

CONTENT WARNING

This episode contains discussions of family violence, mass murder, child victims, and extreme premeditated violence. We examine the deaths of 14 family members, including seven children and two infants, as well as the subsequent shooting of multiple co-workers and bystanders.

The case involves detailed discussion of familicide planning, firearms violence, and the psychological dynamics of family annihilation. While we do not include gratuitous graphic details, the nature of this crime requires discussion of how victims died and the deliberate targeting of children by a family member.

If you are a survivor of family violence, have experienced loss of a family member to violence, or are dealing with trauma related to mass casualty events, please consider whether this content is appropriate for you at this time.

Additionally, this episode discusses capital punishment and a perpetrator who demanded his own execution, which may be difficult for listeners with strong feelings about the death penalty.
