The Morgue Monster: David Fuller's Nightmare Crimes

28-year-old Kanika Powell was a young military veteran who lived in an apartment by herself in Prince George County, Maryland. She has been described as a strong, independent woman, whose life experiences made her very capable of handling stressful situations. However, all of that would change in August 2008, when Kanika would receive a series of strange visitors to her front door. The first was a man, dressed in plain clothing, claiming to be an FBI agent, who refused to produce a badge to prove his identity. Kanika was shaken to her core, especially when this was followed up by a man who claimed to be a FedEx driver, demanding she open her door so that he could deliver a package - one he was not carrying. She thought that someone was after her - and her suspicions were confirmed when on August 28, 2008, she returned home after running some errands and was gunned down in the hallway of her apartment building. Kanika’s killer has never been caught - leaving her family to wonder who had targeted her and why.  Sources: https://truenoirstories.wordpress.com/2017/02/21/kanika-powell/ https://truecrimedaily.com/2015/10/09/unsolved-national-security-worker-gunned-down-amid-mysterious-circumstances/ https://cdn.unsolved.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/74-A-Killer-Comes-Knocking.pdf?x38205 *Support Our Sponsor* Visit http://www.310nutrition.com and use the code “NAPPER” right now for 50% up to $100 for your first order.

John Christie was a World War 1 and 2 veteran who lived with his wife Ethel in the bottom floor flat of 10 Rillington Place, a low-income apartment building in London’s Notting Hill district. In the 50s, there was a media storm when one of the tenants living in the same building as John, a man named Timothy Evans, was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and baby daughter - despite claiming innocence. John and his wife were star witnesses in that trial, testifying that their upstairs neighbours, Timothy and his wife, argued constantly and the night before her murder they had heard a loud thud. Timothy was hanged for his crime - and life went back to normal for John and Ethel Christie. That is - until another tenant of 10 Rillington Place made a horrifying discovery: the bodies of six women hidden in the walls, floors and garden of the building. One of the bodies found was Ethel Christie, John’s wife - leading the police to believe that John Christie had murdered her along with the other women hidden in his flat. This respected war veteran was a serial killer - and what he did to his victims is particularly disturbing.  With this shocking revelation, many wondered if John Christie had also killed Timothy Evan’s wife and baby years prior, meaning they had hanged an innocent man - a grieving husband and father. John Christie would be dubbed the Sex Strangler of Notting Hill - but had he also framed Timothy for murder?  Sources: https://www.grunge.com/669825/the-messed-up-truth-of-serial-killer-john-christie/ https://murderpedia.org/male.C/c/christie-john.htm https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/a-timeline-of-john-christies-crimes-and-their-discovery-and-the-bits-rillington-place-missed-out/  https://allthatsinteresting.com/john-christie Support the show Follow me here: ► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/ ► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper ► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/ ► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/ ► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik  Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatron I will be in London at CrimeCon UK and I would love to meet you!

In 1950 Timothy Evans was accused of murdering his wife Beryl, and their baby girl, Geraldine. Timothy, a simple man who couldn’t read or write, lived with his little family in London’s Notting Hill district in the top floor flat. He refuted the accusations, instead claiming that it was actually his downstairs neighbour, John Christie, who killed his wife and daughter during a botched home abortion. John Christie was a World War 1 and 2 veteran who lived in the ground floor flat with his wife, Ethel. He would serve as the chief prosecutor’s witness during Timothy’s murder trial, where Timothy was ultimately convicted and sentenced to hang. But just three years after Timothy’s execution, a shocking discovery would be made. Bodies would be discovered in the walls and under the floorboards of John’s ground-floor flat. Had Timothy been telling the truth about his neighbour being the real killer? Was this respected war veteran, John Christie, actually a serial killer, who framed Timothy for murder? And what impact would all of this have on England’s justice system?  Sources: https://criminology.research.southwales.ac.uk/criminology-blog/tragic-life-and-death-timothy-evans/ https://home.heinonline.org/blog/2021/09/crime-of-the-century-the-case-of-timothy-evans/ https://www.madeinmanchester.tv/timothy-evans Visit Our Sponsor: Visit http://www.310nutrition.com and use the code “NAPPER” for 50% up to $100 for your first order.

In the early morning hours of September 1st, 2017, around 1 am, a North Carolina 911 dispatcher receives a phone call from 29-year-old Matthew Phelps, an aspiring pastor. He says, “I think I killed my wife. I had a dream, and then I turned on the lights and she’s dead on the floor…I have blood all over me and there’s a bloody knife on the bed and I think I did it. I can’t believe this.”  Matthew claimed that he had “accidentally” stabbed his wife to death while under the influence of cough medicine. 29-year-old Lauren Hugelmaier lay on their bedroom floor, having been stabbed 123 times. While the medicine that Matthew had taken can cause euphoria, agitation, and even psychoses, would a jury believe it as a defence to murder? Perhaps not, after Matthew’s dark side, history of violence and a secret Instagram account was revealed.  If you or someone you know may be in a dangerous relationship, domestic violence, or an abusive relationship, call The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1–800–799–7233 or go to www.thehotline.org.

In the early morning hours of May 24, 1987, Kenneth Parks got up from the sofa where he had been watching TV, got into his vehicle and drove 20 km - or 12 and a half miles - from his home in Toronto to his in-laws home in Scarborough. He used the spare key that they had given him to enter the residence and proceeded to the master bedroom, where he found his mother and father-in-law sleeping in their bed. He proceeded to bludgeon his mother-in-law with a tire iron, which he had brought with him from home, before proceeding to choke his father-in-law. Then, he got into his car and drove to the nearest police station, where he turned himself in saying “I think I have just killed two people.”  And open and shut case for murder right? Wrong. Because Kenneth Parks had a story that could save him from sentence of life in prison. He claimed that he was sleepwalking during the murder and was completely, unconscious and unaware of what he was doing until he surrendered to the police. While sleep experts battled the prosecution in court, testifying in support of Kenneth Parks’ sleepwalking defence, much of the public at the time thought he was lying - making up this story of sleepwalking so that he could get away with murder.  Kenneth Park’s sleepwalking murder trial was front page of papers around the world as it set a precedence for the level of responsibility one has for their actions done when in a state of sleep.

14-year-old British Columbia teenager Reena Virk struggled to fit in. She was relentlessly bullied from elementary school, all the way to high school. Self-conscious about her looks and struggling with her strict religious parent's rules, times were tough. So on Nov. 14, 1997, when she received a phone call inviting her out to a social gathering, she gladly accepted. She had no idea the invite was all a part of a revenge plan - retaliation for spreading rumours about one of the other girls. Shortly after arriving, she was swarmed by a group of 8 teenagers and severely beaten. When she tried to stumble home, two of them followed her and dragged her down below a bridge, where they continued to beat her before drowning her in the water. Reena’s brutal murder at the hands of a group of teens prompted people across the country to take a closer look at growing violence and bullying amongst young Canadians - and it’s a reminder of the importance of raising an empathetic, caring future generation.  Sources: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12405821/Harrowing-real-story-teen-Reena-Virk-brutally-MURDERED-Hulu.html https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/social-services-failed-miserably-virk-family-says-1.573270#:~:text=She%20told%20horrific%20tales%20of,put%20her%20in%20foster%20care. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/girl-boasted-of-role-in-killing-crown/article1037718/ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-no-one-stood-up-for-carson-crimeni-or-for-reena-virk-as-they-died/ https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/soul-of-kindness-daughters-murder-turned-suman-virk-into-tireless-anti-bullying-advocate https://www.vice.com/en/article/qvpqa7/the-unforgettable-story-of-a-bc-teen-murdered-by-her-peers Support the show Follow me here: ► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/ ► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper ► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/ ► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/ ► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik  Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatron I will be in London at CrimeCon UK and I would love to meet you!

Life was not always easy for 20-year-old Amanda Wienckowski. At one point, her friends and family had to watch her struggle with an addiction that had her spending time with undesirable people on the wrong side of town. But she was trying to get her life back on track, even enrolling in a criminal justice course at her local community college. However, on the evening of December 5, 2008, her life was cut short. According to Adam Patterson, Amanda was dropped off that night at Antoine Garner’s home, which was located in a dangerous neighborhood. When a few days passed and she failed to return home, her mother reported her missing to the police. They interviewed Adam Patterson, the man who allegedly dropped her off at Garner’s home and he said initially he was going to wait for her to return to the car, but she called and told him he could leave - so he did. However, Antoine Garner, the man Amanda was seeing that evening, claimed she only stayed for a few minutes and then left with Patterson. Their stories did not match up and investigators believed Amanda may have been a victim of foul play.  Then, approximately five weeks later, the police received an anonymous tip pointing them to a parking lot where they would find Amanda’s body in a garbage bin. She was found nude, face down, with her hair shaved off and covered in bruises. What looked like an apparent murder would be ruled an accidental opiate overdose, sparking a decades-long fight for truth. It has been over 15 years since Amanda’s battered body was found in that garbage bin and her family continues to push to have her manner of death changed to homicide. Many believe that there is police corruption and a cover-up at play, and once we go through the details - I think you’ll see why.

In 2014, YouTuber and experienced hiker, Kenny Veach, who went by the handle ‘snakebitmgee’ seemingly vanished while looking for a mysterious cave in the Mojave Dessert. The first time he discovered this cave, which was shaped like a perfect letter ‘M’, he said his whole body began to vibrate and the feeling only grew stronger as he got closer to the entrance. After commenting about this strange cave on a YouTube video, he received a slew of responses from people who thought he was lying. On November 10th, Kenny would set out to find the cave again - he was supposed to bring his video camera with him to document the whole thing. Only this time - Kenny would never return. It has been almost 10 years since Kenny Veach set out into the Mojave desert in search of the M cave never to be seen again and there is no shortage of theories as to what may have happened to him.
