Kids Who Kill | The Bever, Porco, and Van Breda families

We hear almost daily about mothers and fathers killing their children, sometimes their entire family. You would absolutely be familiar with Scott Peterson, Susan Smith and Chris Watts.

What you hear less often is when children plot and scheme and murder their families. The term for this is either familicide if many family members are killed, or parricide if only parents are killed.

Today on the the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss three cases of ‘Kids Who Kill’.

-In 2015 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Robert and Michael Bever who were 18 and 16 at the time, went on a murderous rampage using knives and hatchets. They managed to murder their parents and three of their siblings before they were stopped by police. The brothers had planned to go on a cross-country killing spree, hoping to kill over 100 people. Thankfully, two Bever children survived and a lot of the testimony that was given helped to put Robert and Michael behind bars for good.

- Christopher Porco was in trouble in 2004. He had forged his father’s signature on financial documents and had obtained fraudulent loans. His parents were not happy and frequently told him so. In November that year, Christopher drove from his dorm to the family home, where he attacked his parents with an axe. His father Peter Porco sustained 16 major axe wounds to his face and head including penetration to his brain and part of his jaw ‘ fell’ off following the attack. Despite all this, Peter managed to get out of bed and go about his daily morning routine before dying. He spent some time in the bathroom and at the sink, he loaded the dishwasher, packed his lunch for the day and wrote a check. He finally collapsed and died at the front door. Joan initially told police that Christopher was the attacker but then recanted.

- The Van Breda family lived an affluent, high-flying life in South Africa. Martin and Teresa were very successful and were raising three children Rudi, Henri and Marli. One night, an intruder allegedly broke into their mansion in a secure, gated community, murdering three members of the family with an axe. Henri survived with minor injuries and Marli spent months in hospital recovering. Except it turns out, there was no intruder. Henri had an alleged methamphetamine addiction and his allowance had been cut off by his parents, so he killed them.

Please note that this episode contains recordings of 911 calls made by a child victim and one of the murderers. Listener discretion is advised.

Missing Corinna Slusser & Human Trafficking

Missing Corinna Slusser & Human Trafficking

The months before Corinna Slusser turned 19 were rocky, to say the least. It was 2017, she wasn’t getting along with her mom, she dropped out of high school right before graduation and she had a failed suicide attempt that landed her in the hospital.   While she was in the hospital, she met a man who would ultimately change the course of her life forever. Corinna left all of her belongings behind.  Taking only the clothes she was wearing, her phone and her ID, she headed to New York City in August 2017 with this man to follow her dreams. Corinna began escorting and working for various pimps before she vanished completely in September, 2017. Those who saw her last are quick to say she ran off, but police believe something much more sinister happened and that she became a victim of human trafficking. In this episode we discuss Corinna's disappearance and the prevalence of sex trafficking in the USA.  We also chat about the news that has had us all gripped this week -  the cases of runaway teen Madison Bell and the shocking murder of Alejandro Ripley.  Be sure to check out our blog for a timeline of Corinna’s disappearance plus screenshots of now deleted social media from those involved.
