254. Natural Born Killers: Joshua Maxwell and Tessie McFarland

On Easter Sunday, families gather to celebrate with family and friends. They enjoy the traditional ham dinner with all the trimmings and attend service to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. It is a time to be together with those you love and cherish but for James Ruppert, it was something much different. As we have learned, often things look different on the outside than on the inside and sometimes they are not at all what they seemed. Join Jen and Cam on day 11 of the 12 Nightmares Before Christmas as we discuss Easter Sunday Massacre. Always angelic Edward OctoberpodVHS @octoberpodVHS did that swell listener discretion at the top of the show. All music and editing is brought to you by our naughty but nice Nico from @wetalkofdreams.Sources:https://www.americanhauntingsink.com/easterhttps://www.journal-news.com/news/parole-for-james-ruppert-easter-mass-murder/yjmZrzIYnNUZ2YHFbN90bL/https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/james-ruppert-easter-sunday-massacre-hamilton-woman-copes-with-living-in-a-murder-househttps://murderpedia.org/male.R/r/ruppert-james.htm Learn more about your ad choices.

On August 6, 1966, Kenneth McDuff and Roy Dale Green spent the day working for Kenneth’s dad pouring concrete. When they finished for the day they decided to go out and drive around and ‘look for a girl.’ Sadly they would come upon three teens and commit an unthinkable act. At 10 pm that night, 17-year-old Robert Brand, 16-year-old Edna Louise Sullivan who was Robert’s GF, and Robert’s 15-year-old cousin Mark Dunman just hanging out in Everman, Texas when McDuff noticed Edna Sullivan. He pulls up alongside the teens, pulls a .38 Colt revolver and ordered them to get into the trunk of their car.

How many times in your head have you thought about being someone? Like a famous actress? An award winning author? A huge sports star? Today’s story is just that. It reads like a dramatic movie plot featuring Leo DiCaprio as the handsome young doctor who worked hard in the healthcare field, saving lives by the day and discovering the cure for cancer at night. The difference is that Jean-Claude Romand is no Leo and well, actually he is not a lot of things and that is where all the trouble begins.Join Jen and Cam on day 5 of The 12 Nightmares Before Christmas as we discuss the crazy tale of Dr. Who? on Our True Crime Podcast.
