A Way with Words & Murder: Jack Unterweger Day 11 The 12 Nightmares Before Christmas
On September the 15th, 1990, people were walking along a river near Prague when they stumbled up what they thought was a mannequin. As they got closer, they realized it was the body of a young woman. Her body, nude, was left in a vulgar display. Her stocking was wrapped around her neck. The killer had tried to cover her with leaves and debris as if to hide his crime. The woman would turn out to be Blanka Bockova. Blanka had gone out the night before with friends to have drinks. The group decided to leave just before midnight, but Blanka was having fun and decided to stay for just one more. Her friends would say she was talking with a man who looked nearly 40 years of age, but that is all the information they could provide. What authorities could not yet know was that an international serial killer was just getting started, and he was no stranger to police.

Tampa's Classified Ad Rapist: Bobby Joe Long Day 10 The 12 Nightmares Before Christmas
Listener warning! Listener discretion is strongly advised. Starting in 1981, a man answered several classified ads posted by women who were selling various items in local newspapers. This man was not buying a toaster or a new home; he was searching for his next victim. They were petite young women who often worked the streets. He would become known as one of the most prolific killers operating in Florida during the 1980s, but his luck would run out when he ran into a brave teenager who would lead officers right to this serial killer.

Slaughter Under the Midnight Sun Day 9 The 12 Nightmares Before Christmas
Alaska, the Last Frontier: It is a place of stunning beauty and rugged wilderness. It is an outdoorsman’s paradise with plenty of big game to hunt and fish to catch. It is also a place where people disappear--some because they want to drop out of the fast-paced rat race and some not by choice. On April 29, 1984, Roger Culp went missing from Hopkinsville. Roger was last seen in the company of a newcomer to the area, a 25-year-old man named Michael Silka. Officers head out to Michael’s remote cabin to see if they can question him about Roger. As soon as they arrive, they notice what looks to be blood outside the cabin. As they approach the door, a man comes out and identifies himself as Michael Silka. He tells the troopers that the blood was from a moose he recently killed and was outside to skin the animal. Michael tells them he hasn’t seen Roger since Roger came by for a quick visit. Content with the explanation, officers leave the cabin. This was a mistake, and many would lose their lives at one man’s hand.

The Ogre of Ardennes: Michel Fourniret Day 8 The 12 Nightmares Before Christmas
Listener warning! Listener discretion is strongly advised! Also, Jen tries to pronounce French words. She is very sorry but she tried really hard, When a 13-year-old victim escaped a killer’s hold by gnawing through her bindings and running from the killer’s van, little did the police know that a series of murders and rapes were about to be solved. The officers arrested the man and soon heard a horror story that included crimes against young victims, but he had a partner. Together the two would commit a series of crimes to earn him the name Ogre of the Ardennes.

The only thing was she was pregnant with another man’s baby. After the baby arrived, she left Ramon and went back to the father of her baby. At this point, Ramon left Mexico and moved to California- Kern County area, to be exact. Here, he met a woman named Debra, and the two would marry.

The Mosman Monster: Granny Killer John Wayne Glover Day 6 the 12 NIghtmares Before Christmas
It is day six of the 12 Nightmares Before Christmas. We are going to Mosman, a suburb of Sydney, Australia, where 82-year-old widow Gwendolin Mitchellhill was found right outside her apartment building around 4 pm on March 1st, 1989. Two children had just stepped off the elevator; through the glass security doors, they saw the poor woman crawling on her hands and knees with an immense amount of blood coming from her head. The woman’s belongings, shoes, cane lay neatly a few feet away, her pantyhose were off, and her purse was open. Assuming she had fallen and hit her head, an ambulance was called for the woman, and she was rushed to the hospital. One keen-eyed ambulance driver noticed her open purse, noticed her wallet was not inside and reported it to the police. Kind neighbors took it upon themselves to gather Ms. Mitchelhill’s cane and bag and clean all the blood from the sidewalk. This was the first murder by a man known as The Granny Killer.
