In this episode of Serial Streamers, Jami recaps the Lifetime docuseries The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. In 2016, Gypsy Rose was convicted of second degree murder for plotting and helping to carry out the murder of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, who allegedly abused Gypsy Rose and suffered from munchausen syndrome by proxy. Gypsy Rose was paroled in January of 2024 and has been documenting her post-prison life on social media since then. Some people believe Gypsy Rose is a master manipulator who shouldn’t be celebrated, but others believe she committed murder in order to save herself from her abusive mother. Jami breaks down the 6-part docuseries and gives her own opinions along the way. Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!

Vicki Morgan was thrust into a lavish lifestyle at an early age, but it wasn’t always that way. Though she lived a life many only dream of, it came with a price and it would be short-lived. Following Vicki’s savage murder in July of 1983, embarrassing secrets of the elite were exposed …along with society’s hatred of a woman who had the audacity to wear the scarlet letter. Though Vicki Morgan was already dead, coverage of her case could almost be considered an execution by the media Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!

This case takes us to New Mexico, where a serial killer preyed on vulnerable women in the early 2000’s. Rumors percolated around town, with gruesome details of beheadings, and the dumping of bodies in an undeveloped area in Albuquerque. This story begins with the discovery of a femur bone, and that would only be a prelude to what would be Albuquerque’s Crime of the Century.

Grady Stiles Jr. came from a long line of sideshow performers who had a genetic condition known as ectrodactyly. When this defect occurs in the womb, the middle digits of the hand and foot are missing and the remaining ones fuse into two parts. Grady was born with two-fingered hands that resembled lobster claws, and footless legs ending just below the knee.  Like many of his relatives, Grady capitalized on his physical defects by appearing in traveling carnivals. It’s easy to imagine that a lifetime spent as a public spectacle could be emotionally taxing. But Grady had a coping mechanism: alcohol. For Grady, drinking heavily blurred out the pain of ridicule and rejection. Unfortunately, alcohol also made him incredibly mean and violent. This tendency toward violence would manifest into murder, with Grady being the perpetrator. Later, the man known as “Lobster Boy” would find himself on the other side of murder …falling victim to two bullets in the back of his head.

On December 23, 1991, in Corsicana Texas, three young girls would lose their lives in a house fire. Someone would go on trial for arson and murder, and by the end of it all, four peoples’ lives would be claimed by the fire. The conclusion of the trial would not mark the end of this tragic story. Today, many questions surrounding this tragedy still do not have concrete answers.  Let’s get social: Follow MURDERISH on Instagram & TikTok @MurderishPodcast.

In this episode of Serial Streamers, Jami recaps the Netflix docuseries Escaping Twin Flames. Jami tries to suppress her rage but finds it difficult because one of the Twin Flames Universe leaders, Jeff, is a real piece of work. Twin Flames Universe is an organization that operates eerily similar to a cult in that members are pressured to disconnect from family, spend their hard earned money on classes that guarantee they’ll be matched with their “twin flame,” among other cult-like characteristics. In reality, the Twin Flames Universe guarantee is a twin FLOP because nobody seems to get what they were promised by alleged relationship scammers, Jeff and Shaleia Ayan (not their real names, of course). The TFU leaders also allegedly pressure members into certain gender-affirming surgeries that they may not have chosen for themselves.  Jami shares all of her hot takes on this disturbing, cult-like organization and doesn’t hold back on her feelings about its leaders. Spoiler alert …she HATES them.  Follow Jami @JamiOnAir on Instagram & TikTok and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!
