17. On The Edge Of Sanity: Dale Merle Nelson Part 1 Remastered Sound

Today, we are headed to Riverdale, Georgia, on August 2, 2004, where the Fayetteville Sheriff’s office gets a call from a 16-year-old named Sara Polk, who informs them that there had been a murder or two, to be exact, and proceeds to give them the address of the location where the killing had occurred. Det Bruce Jordan takes the call and arrives on the scene to find two people savagely murdered. The first victim, 74-year-old Carl Collier,  was located in the kitchen, which had blood spatter everywhere. Walking through to discover the next victim, investigators see a small bloody barefoot print on the floor. The print would lead them to the basement stairs. Detectives make their way down the stairs, where they see the second victim, 73-year-old Sarah Collier, at the bottom of the staircase. The scene was bloody and brutal. It was clear that the perpetrator was violent and skilled in murder. Join Cam and Jen on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled  ‘All I Want To Do Is Kill: The Collier Murders'As always our listener discretion by our bestie @octoberpodVHSAll music is by our best executive producer Nico @theinkypawprintSources:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/teens-plead-guilty-to-stabbing/https://law.justia.com/cases/georgia/supreme-court/2021/s21a0871.htmlhttps://www.amazon.com/Want-Kill-Pinnacle-True-Crime/dp/0786018615https://www.crimelibrary.org/notorious_murders/young/teen_killers/index.htmlhttps://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/murder/killer-couple-murderous-lesbian-teens-holly-harvey-sandra-ketchumhttps://www.vanceholmes.com/court/trial_harvey.htmlhttps://www.gpb.org/news/2020/03/09/investigation-discovery-channels-twisted-love-investigates-georgia-murdershttps://accesswdun.com/article/2005/4/147573https://archive.thecitizen.com/archive/main/archive-050415/pc-09_mother.htmlhttps://accesswdun.com/article/2004/8/163417https://www.wtoc.com/story/2234202/preliminary-hearing-in-teen-double-murder/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4193880/How-girl-15-stabbed-grandparents-death-drugs.htmlhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt1531239/plotsummary/https://www.nydailynews.com/2017/02/04/devil-child-slaughters-her-grandparents-steals-their-car-to-pick-up-more-pot-cocaine/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Greg stared at his phone and wondered why Joanna, his girlfriend and flatmate, wasn’t answering his calls. Greg had spent the weekend with his family in Sheffield, U.K., which was about four hours north of Bristol, where he shared the apartment with Joanna. Maybe she was just busy. It was, after all, the weekend before Christmas.  But still, it wasn’t like her to not reply to him at all. Could her phone be dead? If it was, it had been dead all weekend because she hadn’t responded to his calls or texts since before 8:00 p.m. on Friday.“Joanna?” he called out as he entered. But he got no answer. Her purse was there. The keys were there, and a bottle of cider sat on the counter. It was half full. Where was she? He called her cell phone again, calling her name and looking in the closets. He stopped. Her cell phone was ringing from inside the flat. “Joanna!?” he called out again. Any hope he had that Joanna was somewhere in the apartment was dashed as he realized the phone was ringing inside her coat pocket. The temperatures had not reached above freezing the whole weekend. Now he was really worried; Joanna wouldn't have left without her coat. Now he was really worried. With a sinking feeling in his gut, he called the police.Join Cam and Jen as they discuss "The Only Murderer In The Building: Joanna Yeates."Thank you to our team:Written and researched by Lauretta AllenListener Discretion by Edward October from OctoberpodVHSExecutive Producer Nico Vitesse of The Inky Paw PrintSources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Joanna_Yeateshttps://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/oct/28/joanna-yeates-case-vincent-tabakhttps://www.walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/tv/senseless-murder-joanna-yeates-how-22641648https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/16063153/who-joanna-yeates-how-did-she-die/https://youtu.be/_HMIM8ScKt0si=AHLbnVKa5dHE7befhttps://youtu.be/LXMixkwtjYgsi=ZBgI3VsBsel_Glm4https://youtu.be/K1My3HfOuVo?si=9EzfIq43taP5wpKlhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/754124703/match=1&terms=%22Joanna%20Yeates%22https://www.newspapers.com/image/723901797/match=1&terms=%22Joanna%20Yeates%22https://www.newspapers.com/image/723910638/match=1&terms=%22Joanna%20Yeates%22 Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's case takes us to Marietta, Georgia. The book centered on this case was one of the first true crime books I had read, and it has always stuck with me. The book Secrets Never Lie: The Death of Sara Tokars- A Southern Tragedy of Money, Murder, and Innocence Betrayed is by R. Robin McDonald. It is November 29, 1992, and Thanksgiving weekend has just ended. 39-year-old Sara has been visiting with her parents and her sisters in Bradenton, Florida, for the holiday weekend, but it was time for her and her two boys, 6-year-old Ricky and 4-year-old Mike load up the Toyota SUV to make the 9-hour trek back home to Marietta Georgia, an affluent suburb of Atlanta. After the three had departed, Sara’s husband Fred called the parent's home to inquire if they were on the road yet. Fred, who had been there earlier, had departed earlier as he had a meeting with a client that he couldn’t miss. Sara’s father, Dr John Ambrusko, had answered the call from Fred and told him they they had just departed. It was almost 10 pm when Sara and the boys pulled into her garage. Sara started to unload the car as one of the boys had fallen asleep in his car seat. As she was unloading, a strange man came out of the darkness. The man, who was carrying a sawed-off shotgun, forced Sara and little Ricky back into the car. What happened next is what nightmares are made of, what mothers fear most, and is proof that true evil exists. Join Jen and Cam on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled “The Big Lie: The Murder of Sara Tokars.”Listener discretion by the fab Edward OctoberpodVHS @octoberpodVHSAll music is by our EP Nico @theinkypawprintSources:Secrets Never Lie: The Death of Sara Tokars- A Southern Tragedy of Money, Murder, and Innocence Betrayed is by R.

It was 1996, and all anybody could talk about in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada was the Abbotsford Killer. A few months before, a sadistic, barbaric individual had beaten two girls with a baseball bat, raped one, and thrown her body in the Vedder River.The killer taunted the police and terrorized an entire community of 108,000 people by promising that there would be more bodies. And he was still at large. People, especially women, were terrified to go anywhere.What would make somebody do something like that? What would make him taunt the police and terrorize the victim’s family? Join Cam and Jen as they discuss You're Next: The Abbotsford KillerThank you to our team:Written and researched by Lauretta AllenListener Discretion by Edward October from OctoberpodVHSExecutive Producer Nico Vitesse of The Inky Paw PrintSources:Please go to OurTrueCrimePodcast.com for a complete list of sources.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Former Dauphin County Chief Detective Thomas Brennan’s phone rings between 3 am and 4 am from a responding officer requesting assistance on a crime scene. When the detective arrives, he notices a car pulled close to a ditch. Brennen, who received training at the FBI Behavioral Science Unit during his tenure with the state police, knew immediately what he was dealing with when he arrived at the Conrail crime scene. After Brennan asks the officer for details, the officer explains that a Conrail train security guard had stumbled onto a man attacking a woman. The man was startled and he ran off. Thankfully the victim was injured but alive so he called for police and waited with her until help arrived.  Detective Brennan noted that the vehicle’s trunk was open and inside was what many would call a “kit” such as rope, and duct tape, as in things to help someone kill or at least bind another person. Outside the car on the ground were plastic mats, seemingly to cover the ground inside the ditch. It was now clear to Brennan that this man had planned to kill his victim, put her in that ditch, and drive away. What was also clear to the detective was that this was not this man’s first time killing someone, he had done it before and he knew what he was doing. Join Jen and Cam of Our True Crime Podcast as we discuss ‘Steelton Serial Killer: Joe Miller.’As always, the listener discretion is by our bestie Edward @octoberpodVHSJust like our music is by our bestie Nico @theinkypawprintThis episode is sponsored by the amazing sleepcreme.comIf you don’t experience better sleep, they will refund your money.

In the summer of 1991, Krystal Naab was sixteen years old. She lived in a mobile home in Ramsey, Illinois, with her mother and two siblings. She spent time with her boyfriend, whom she had plans to marry, and hung out with her friends. Everyone described Krystal as a genuinely sweet person.July 23rd was shaping up to be a scorcher, and by 7:30 a.m., it was already warm and humid. Since one of Krystal's chores was to mow the lawn, her brother Curtis woke her up before he left for work. He reminded her that it would be hot and that she needed to cut the grass while it was still cool outside. Curtis then headed out the door to do landscaping work for his uncle, unaware of the horror he would later return to.When Curtis arrived home at 4 p.m., he found Kyrstal lying face-down on the floor in a pool of blood just inside the entrance to the trailer. She had been stabbed 81 times with a pair of scissors the family kept in a china cabinet in the living room.A small, white truck was seen by neighbors in Krystal's driveway that day from 10 a.m. to3 p.m., so police thought she must have known her killer. When they asked Curtis if he knew anyone with that type of truck, he immediately came up with a name.Thank you to YA-MAN USA for sponsoring this week's episode.

*Content Warning: This episode deals with domestic violence that may be disturbing to some of our listeners.If you or someone you love needs help, please call the National Domestic Abuse Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or visit their website at https://www.thehotline.org/. Thank you to Jessi and Kristin for speaking with us about their friend Leanne.Leanne Davidson Beck was known for being fiercely independent, tenacious, and kind. She had a good heart, and she was loved by everybody who knew her. Leanne was a ‘go-getter,’ and her friends say she’d always be the one encouraging them to get up and do fun things instead of sitting around bored. She could always find the positive in bad situations, and she was always giggling. Leanne was an only child, so she made lots of friends throughout her life who she remained close to and treated like family. When Leanne met a man who Leanne fell in love with, her friends and family were excited for her as she would finally get what she had always wanted: a loving, happy family.  That excitement would soon turn into concern. At 3:07 am on the 29th of August 2021, Leanne’s husband made a panicked call to 911, stating that his wife had vomited and was not breathing. When paramedics arrived, they noted that Leanne’s eyes were fixed, and they were unable to locate a pulse. Despite the lifesaving efforts carried out by the officers on the scene, Leanne Davidson Beck was pronounced dead at around 3:30 am. She was just 33 years old. Join Jen and Cam on this Our True Crime Podcast Special “The Unexplained Death of Leanne Davidson Beck.”Join Justice for Leanne Beck Facebook group for information and updates. Listener discretion by @octoberpodVHSMusic is by our E.P. @theinkypawprintWritten by Fern @eoacrimeSources: https://www.azfamily.com/2023/03/09/18-months-after-her-death-family-peoria-nurse-still-looking-answers/#:~:text=PEORIA%2C%20AZ%20(3TV%2FCBS,held%20accountable%20for%20her%20death.https://ncadv.org/statistics#:~:text=1%20in%203%20women%20and,be%20considered%20%22domestic%20violence.%22&text=1%20in%207%20women%20and,injured%20by%20an%20intimate%20partner. https://ncadv.org/statistics#:~:text=1%20in%204%20women%20and,of%20sexually%20transmitted%20diseases%2C%20etc.  https://www.solacewomensaid.org/policy-campaigns/awareness-campaigns-awards/love-bombing-affection-today-abuse-tomorrow/  https://www.thehotline.org/resources/signs-of-love-bombing/ https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/why-bad-looks-good/202107/why-do-domestic-violence-victims-return-abusers  Learn more about your ad choices.

On August 7, 1995, in Aroma Park, Illinois, 9-year-old Christopher Meyer approached his mom, Mika Moulton, asking for permission to visit the Aroma Park boat launch by the Kankakee River. Christopher, who spent his summers with his mother but resided with his father, Jim Meyer, in Walla Walla, Washington, during the school year, was eager to explore. Mika permitted him to go but set a curfew, instructing him to return home by 5 pm.  When 5 o'clock came and went, Mika began to worry. She went out to search for Christopher but was unsuccessful so she returned home to phone the police and report Christopher missing.  At the time, no one knew it but Christopher was not this person’s first victim. Join Jen and Cam of Our True Crime Podcast on this episode entitled “The Murders of Tara Sue Huffman and Christopher Meyer.”Listener Discretion by @octoberpodVHSAll music is by our EP @theinkypawprintOneSkin sponsors this episode.
