The area was a buzz with people enjoying a meal, walking to work, and going about their usual day. Only, this day would turn out to be anything but usual. At 9:55 AM, numerous people were jolted from their activities and witness to something they will likely never forget. Let’s get social: Follow MURDERISH on Instagram & TikTok @MurderishPodcast.

Some might say 40-year-old Lana Clarkson was born with stars in her eyes. She dreamt of the kind of fame that would honor her natural abilities. She also wore her heart on her sleeve - her desire to become a big-time Hollywood actress was apparent to anyone she encountered. Lana’s pursuit of success made her vulnerable to the most sinister of predators. A single night in February 2003 would shatter Lana’s world and all who cared for her. Lana’s murder led to two highly publicized Hollywood trials at which the defendant, world famous music producer Phil Spector, wore outlandish outfits and wigs as if it was his own personal circus.  Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!

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.

On a Summer day in 1997, Lance Butler and a friend drove into the Rockies west of Denver. The pair pulled over to dip their feet into the stream below. A glance toward the water’s edge revealed a horrific sight. There, wedged between two rocks, was the lifeless body of a female dressed only in blue jeans. It was 14-year-old, Brandy DuVall, who’d been reported missing by her mother the day prior. Her injuries told the tale of a merciless crime. Months later, a tip led investigators to several suspects who’d go on trial for her murder. As it turned out, the tip resulted from an “unwilling witness” who said he hadn’t stopped the murder because he was afraid for his life.

In one of the most egregious law enforcement scandals of the last century, the U.S. Government helped to cultivate and empower one of the most notorious murderers of our time. A man who was simultaneously hailed as both a savior and a devil, a protector and an oppressor, James “Whitey” Bulger’s story is complex and almost unbelievable. How did just another poor South Boston hoodlum rise to be the King of the Irish Mob, and reign without punishment for 20 years as the bodies piled up around him? How did he manipulate and stay one step ahead of law enforcement even after becoming a fugitive on the FBI’s most-wanted list, second only to Osama Bin Laden? Whitey Bulger wasn’t your average gangster, but his genius was facilitated by equally criminal men at every level of law enforcement. With their help, Whitey rose to power using violence, money, intelligence, and charisma. Whether it was karma, poetic justice, or a government setup, Whitey met his end violently and in a manner reminiscent of the countless murders he so easily committed. Join me as I walk you through the complex case of Mob Boss James “Whitey” Bulger.
