Lies That Bind: Chris Morris: Day 1 The 12 Nightmares Before Christmas
To kick us off on our first episode of12 Nightmares Before Christmas, we are traveling to southern Florida-- Coconut Creek, to be exact, where the Broward County Sheriff’s dept has been called out to an abandoned car. It is January 9, 1990, and just after 1:30 in the morning. Officers arrive at the car and notice all the windows have been shot out. As they get closer, they see something slumped over in the back seat: a man with duct tape covering his mouth, and bullets riddle his body. Officers are careful to search the car for some ID and find it. The man is 42-year-old Christopher Morris. So begins a tale of deceit, betrayal, and murder. Join Jen and Cam as we discuss “Lies that Bind: Christopher Morris” on Day 1 of the 12 Nightmares Before Christmas. That mystical voice you hear at the top of the podcast is our friend Edward October from @octoberpodVHSAs always, our music is from Nico @wetalkofdreams.

147. The Trunk Murders: Winnie Judd
It was October 16, 1931, when Winnie Ruth Judd bought a train ticket, boarded the vessel with the two traveling trunks, and made her way to Los Angeles. En route, the trunks began to leak and emit a horrible smell. Police greeted Judd at the Los Angeles station and asked her to open the trunks. Winnie was afraid and mortified on the inside, but her outward demeanor was coy and stand-offish. When asked to smell the trunks, she leaned in and claimed that she couldn't smell anything at all. The baggage attendants pushed her to open the trunks. Claiming that her husband had the keys, she fled the scene. What would occur next would leave many asking what happened and who was responsible?
