#81: Friday The 13th Axe Killer (Case of Candy Montgomery)

They say when you seek revenge, you should dig two graves. One for yourself as well. The PTA moms didn’t think of that when they raged war.Jill was said to have gone up and down the hallways of the wealthy school to pass out flyers. Flyers that were printed with baseless accusations against another PTA mom. It’s said that she was jealous of the other mom. Some say it’s because she was trying to distract the community from the fact that she was cheating on her attorney husband with 4 firefighters - at the same time.Regardless Jill’s obsession will turn into a web of conspiracies involving child abuse, cheating with the tennis coach, drugs, and death. The result? Two behind bars and millions of dollars on the line. This is the PTA mom nightmare.(Book Red - “I’ll Get You” - by Kelli Peters & Riley J Ford. Such a good book I couldn’t put it down and the emotions were so raw and so real. Please check it out)Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com

Edward’s new boss loved a good team-building event. Most companies would take their employees out for a fun night of bowling.But not Edward’s boss, Robin; he liked to have a more intimate setting. He gathered all 3 of his employees in the attic of his house and told them to follow after him.He started chanting random phrases while holding up an object into the air above them. Then he dramatically pressed the object to his mouth and took a bite. He cackled maniacally and passed it around for everyone to eat.It was an amputated human breast. They were all going to be cannibals from this point on. Robin didn’t care though. He didn’t even care that he ripped the flesh straight from a human being who was still alive. All he cared about was that his employees were bonding with him.Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com

Her boyfriend loved a good surprise. Surprise dates and gifts were kind of his specialty, but this one felt a bit different. She was blindfolded and taken into a building.He tied her to a chair in the middle of an empty room. She was getting giddy. He had been talking to her about buying a house for her soon. Maybe, he had finally done it!He ripped off her blindfold and got in her face to say, “welcome to my mortuary!” Her eyes adjusted to the light, and she looked around. Around her were 2 dead bodies of women laid out on the ground. On the mattress in front of her was a woman tied spread eagle. She was still moving.Book: “Love Me To Death” - by Steve Jackson(Such a good deep dive on this case and honestly really dives deep into the terror that everyone involved must have felt)Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com

The 5 moms in total hated each other.Technically they should have a lot in common - being that they are all married to high-powered businessmen.They had similar problems but the biggest one of all? Was that they were all dating the same man. And now he was dead. Who killed him? And who will inherit his fortune?Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com

She wore a turtleneck out to the grocery store that day. Sure, a blizzard was coming down on them, but she did it to hide the bruises.She looked around at all the happy faces. The smiling couples. They were so in love. If only they could see what she was going through at home. She couldn’t tell them instead she suffered silently gathering up her groceries.Maybe she heard the other families talking about the winter storm or the news of the escaped prisoner.You know? The one in her living room waiting for her return. The one that had her entire family tied up upstairs? Yeah, that one. She had to hurry back to him.Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com
