Decades of Abuse | The Turpin Family

Decades of Abuse | The Turpin Family

In this episode, we will be discussing horrific instances of child abuse. Listener discretion is advised.
In 2018, a brave 17 year-old managed to escape the home where she had been held captive her entire life. She found a deactivated cell-phone that she took with her on her escape, and she called 911. She told police that she had been kept locked in a room for 20 hours a day and was allowed one shower per year.
When police arrived, they found TWELVE additional children locked in the house. Human feces, dead animals and rotten food covered the entire property. This was not a case of human trafficking or abduction though, this is the horrific case of the Turpin Family.
David and Louise Turpin had 13 children during their marriage. Outwardly, the parents portrayed the family as loving and close knit – they took the children on vacation to Disneyland and Vegas, where they all posed in matching outfits. In reality, they did not care for any of them and mistreated them in the worst possible ways. All of the children were uneducated and physically and emotionally abused. They used to eat ketchup, mustard and ice as there was literally nothing else to eat.
And what happened to some of the Turpin Children after they were rescued will break your heart.
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss the case of the Turpin Family and their house of horrors.

It's ALWAYS the husband... allegedly | Part 1 | Melinda Davis and Crystal Rogers

It's ALWAYS the husband (allegedly). Over the next two episodes we discuss cases where all signs point to the victim's significant other, but they are seemingly getting away with it.      In part one we talk about Melinda Davis, who was found deceased in the trunk of her car in March, 2021 after meeting her ex-partner to pick up some belongings, and Crystal Rogers who has been missing since July, 2015 after last being seen "playing games on her phone" by her boyfriend.

Missing Executives Alan White & Jake Cefolia

Missing Executives Alan White & Jake Cefolia

In two separate but similar incidents, Alan White and & Jake Cefolia were both last seen on surveillance pumping gas before each of their luxury vehicles were found abandoned in vacant areas. After months of searching, neither man has been found and clues to their disappearance are limited. While some have speculated that either man could have left to start a new life, others fear something much more sinister may have happened to them.

Home is where the body is

Home is where the body is

When someone is reported missing, it's generally safe to assume they're not in their house. Surely, the police or the family would have checked there already.  Except sometimes, after the headlines, the search parties, and the emotional public pleas from family members - that's exactly where the person turns up. In this episode, we cover a handful of cases where this phenomenon happened and the theories surrounding them. Julie Snyder, Molly Meghan Miller, and Christopher Woitel were all found dead in their homes after being reported missing and searched for.  Don't want to listen to the intro?

Moms Who Murder

Moms Who Murder

A mother is meant to be the ultimate protector of their children.  Sometimes though, they are perpetrators of the ultimate betrayal. In this episode we speak about four cases where mothers have taken the lives of their children, before killing themselves.  What could drive a woman to the edge like this? 1 – Michele Boudreau Deegan drugged her twin 7 y/o daughters before shooting them and then herself in the head 2 – Cynthia Collier fired 34 rounds into her four adopted teenage children, before taking her own life 3 – Kimbra Shanafelt and her 5 y/o daughter were found dead in their home from carbon monoxide poisoning 4 – Tristen Watson was pregnant when she took her toddler son into the Rocky Mountains National Park.  She shot him and then herself, and her unborn baby also passed away.
