In the winter of 1974, 23-year-old Renae Wicklund was happily married to her husband Jack, and the two were raising their one-year-old daughter, Shannah. They lived in a perfect rural town across the street from their good friends, Don and Barbara Hendrickson. In the town where they lived, nothing bad ever happened. No one could have imagined the horrific events that would take place in the coming days, and that would have a ripple effect on their lives for decades to come. Three lives would be savagely taken, leaving behind a crime scene so gruesome, so vicious, that even the most seasoned law enforcement officers would be affected by it for the rest of their lives. The unspeakable crimes caused outrage that would be the catalyst for changes to the judicial system and to victims’ rights.

Social media is a double-edged sword. It connects us to people we likely would have never encountered and allows us to stay in touch with family and friends no matter where they live. As much as social media can be a tool to stay connected in a positive way, the barrier between people on social media can also be used as a way to cloak someone’s true nature. In the case, we’re examining in this episode, both positive and negative aspects of social media were applied. The victim found refuge online and used social media as an outlet where she could explore her identity as she journeyed into adulthood. But the sanctuary she found in online communities would shift in July of 2019, with social media serving as a catalyst for unspeakable peril.

In high school, we go through a myriad of first experiences. There are sports, prom, first loves, and oftentimes, heartbreak. For most people these experiences shape us, and the mistakes we make during this time usually don’t have permanent consequences. During the fall of 2014 to the fall of 2016, before the curtain fell and the reality of one teenage relationship was exposed, most students at Central High School must have looked on in envy at the handsome football star and his beautiful cheerleader girlfriend. Only, their relationship was not enviable and it would end with one of them dead. Check us out: Visit Murderish.com for more info about the show and Creator/Host, Jami.

Late in the evening on Friday, January 8, 1993, the employees in one particular restaurant in Palatine Chicago didn’t know at the time that they would not be going home that night. Hours after these workers began their closing routine, all seven of their bodies would be discovered inside of Brown’s Chicken, a popular restaurant chain. Upon entering the bloody scene, officer Ron Conley dispatched backup saying “Five in the cooler.” This tragedy was the worst mass murder in the Chicago area since 1966 when Richard Speck murdered eight student nurses in their dorm. It would take nine long years for authorities to receive a break in the horrendous case widely known as the Brown’s Chicken Massacre.

Oftentimes, divorces are messy. Hurt feelings, large sums of money, and decisions regarding custody of children only add to the stress that separation can bring. In the case we examine in this episode, a divorce brought out the worst of those involved. Past mistakes, love affairs, and previous marriages were all fair game. At a certain point, all of the fighting ended, but not in a way that anyone would have wanted. The contentious divorce proceedings came to a halt when one of the parties was murdered, or was she?

It’s a case that has haunted Jefferson Township, New Jersey, for more than 30 years. On a snowy January night, 14-year-old Tommy Sullivan did the unthinkable: he murdered his mother in cold blood, set fire to their house, and then took his own life. Out of the flames of this horrible tragedy, investigations revealed that Tommy was, himself, a part of a Satanic Cult, sparking a nationwide hysteria now known as the “Satanic Panic” This monumental moment in American culture led to communities nationwide enforcing draconian measures to protect their children from what they perceived to be the devil’s influence. Even the Catholic church was convinced this was a case of demonic possession. On the new podcast, THE DEVIL WITHIN, the truth of the grisly murder is finally revealed. Did Tommy act alone? Did he really commit suicide? Is his cult still in power? THE DEVIL WITHIN finally sheds light on questions left unanswered for decades...
