The Texas Killing Fields Part 2: Suspects, 90s Victims & Calder’s Shadow
We’re back for Part 2 of our deep dive into the Texas Killing Fields—a case so messy and heartbreaking, it’s no wonder it keeps true crime fans up at night. In this episode, we continue to uncover the haunting details surrounding the 1990s victims, possible suspects, and why Calder Field remained such a tragically perfect place to dump bodies for decades.As therapists who love true crime, we bring a psychological lens to the discussion—this time focusing more on the victim profiles, the unnervingly consistent law enforcement failures, and just how many red flags went ignored. We touch on early profiling attempts, forensic missteps, and the frustrating legacy of bias and victim-blaming that clouded real progress in solving these murders.We also reference The Lights Out Podcast, and articles including “The Grisly True Story of Netflix’s Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields” by Paul Schrodt and “Texas Killing Fields: Who Murdered Dozens Of Young Girls And Women Near Houston?” by Aaron Rasmussen.Grab your snacks and let’s get uncomfortable.Instagram: @terrortalkpodcastYouTube: TerrorTalk PodcastFacebook: Halloween All Year LongTikTok: @dark.psychology.girlsAll music in this episode is composed by Mannequin Uprising.

The Texas Killing Fields: Victims, Profiling & Police Failures | Part 1
In Part 1 of our two-part series on the Texas Killing Fields, we dive into the disturbing stretch of land off I-45 near Calder Road—a place that became a dumping ground for dozens of young women and girls from the 1970s through the 1980s. We chronicle the murders and disappearances that shocked the nation, analyze the crime scene at Calder Field, and reflect on the horrifying reasons it was "perfect" for hiding bodies.As therapists and horror lovers, we bring a unique lens to the case: unpacking the early victim profiling missteps, the rampant victim blaming, and the unbelievable level of police incompetence in preserving evidence and handling crime scenes. While we save most of the psychology and corruption for Part 2, this episode is full of sharp insights and (yes) some incredulous reactions.We also reference The Lights Out Podcast and key articles that helped frame our conversation:The Grisly True Story of Netflix’s ‘Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields’ by Paul SchrodtTexas Killing Fields: Who Murdered Dozens Of Young Girls And Women Near Houston? by Aaron RasmussenListen now if you’re interested in:Texas Killing Fields victims and casesVictimology and profilingCalder Field crime scene breakdownTrue crime police failuresBias in criminal investigationsTrue crime from therapists’ perspectiveWhat are your thoughts on how these early investigations were handled?
