The Trash Bag Killer – Patrick Kearney
From Robbie Ruinsburg The Trash Bag Killer – Patrick Kearney This episode explores the chilling case of Patrick Kearney, infamously known as the "Trash Bag Killer." Kearney was an American serial killer who operated in California during the 1970s, targeting young gay men. His modus operandi involved the brutal murder and dismemberment of his victims, who were often found stuffed into trash bags and discarded along highways. This gruesome practice not only earned him his notorious moniker but also underscored the horrific nature of his crimes. Kearney's background reveals a troubled childhood marked by bullying and trauma, which may have contributed to his violent tendencies. As a teenager, he began to fantasize about killing, with his first known victim being a hitchhiker he murdered in 1967. The podcast draws parallels between Kearney and other notorious serial killers, such as Jeffrey Dahmer, noting that while Dahmer sought to keep his victims alive for his twisted desires, Kearney preferred to kill quickly and then engage in necrophilia with the bodies.

Delphi & Kathy Halle Cold Case
In this episode of Who Killed...?, I look into recent developments in notable cases, including the Amy Mihaljevic investigation, the Delphi trial, and an update on serial killer Bruce Lindahl. I discuss the questionable article from the Advertiser Tribune suggesting a suspect may be in custody for the Mihaljevic case. I am urging caution, because of the lack of corroboration from other news outlets and the generic nature of the suspect sketch. Kathy Halle disappeared on March 29, 1979, while on her way to pick up her sister from the Northgate Shopping Center. After an extensive search, her body was discovered in the Fox River weeks later. The investigation into her murder was initially conducted as a missing person case but eventually turned into a homicide investigation. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the case went cold, and no new evidence emerged for many years. The investigation employed advanced DNA technology, specifically the MVAC (Multi-Vacuum DNA Collection System), designed to extract DNA from older evidence that may be degraded. This technique involves spraying a sterile solution onto evidence and then vacuuming it back up, allowing for a more thorough collection of DNA than traditional swabbing methods. In June 2023, detectives delivered evidence from Halle's case to DNA Labs International in Florida, where testing revealed that the DNA found on her clothing was 9.4 trillion times more likely to have originated from Bruce Lindahl. This conclusive evidence linked him to her murder, providing the closure that had eluded her family for decades.
