True Crime Guys

Tony Alamo - AKA Bernie Hoffman - was a cult leader in the 1960s through the early 2000’s.  Although his empire crumbled in the early 90’s and he died, in 2017, some of his followers are still running around America, putting flyers on windshields advertising his usual talking points of fire and brimstone,  and of course the old adage, “follow me (and only me) or perish in eternal flames, get saved and of course, SEND MONEY.”  Tony was a prominent leader in the "Jesus Freaks" movement of the 1960s. He gained a significant number of followers and amassed a substantial fortune. However, he was later arrested for committing tax evasion and child trafficking for nefarious purposes. Hence why he is the subject of our show today.

“I don't quite understand what it is that compels me to type this letter. Perhaps it is to leave some vague reason for the actions I have recently performed. I do not really understand myself these days. I am supposed to be an average, reasonable and intelligent young man. However, lately (I cannot recall when it started) I have been a victim of many unusual and irrational thoughts.” “I intend to kill Kathy. I love her very much, I intend to kill my wife after I pick her up from work. I don't want her to face the embarrassment that my actions will surely cause…I am prepared to die” Signed, -Charles Whitman Jr   This episode brought to you by...

*This episode was originally released on 4/26/23 on Patreon. It was on February 9, 1960,  when a milkman stopped and laid on his horn in the middle of a bridge over Turkey Creek, near Morrison, Colorado. Some asshole was blocking the road with his station wagon. But after several honks, the milkman decided to get out and check on the driver.  But wait, there was no driver! WTF! - the station wagon was empty, with the engine running, and the radio  playing.  The milkman, had a bad feeling about this…it just didn't smell right, ya know so he reported it to the police, who quickly figured out the owner of the car was none other than, Heir to, what would eventually become the 4th largest Brewing company in the US, ADOLPH COORS, III !!!   HelloFresh.com/creeper50  Codeword: creeper50   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper     https://www.tonicvibes.com Code: Creeper     Sources: https://www.fbi.gov/image-repository/aotm-march-2017-coors-kidnapping-ransom-note.jpg https://longreads.com/2017/09/26/the-death-of-an-heir-adolph-coors-iii-and-the-murder-that-rocked-an-american-brewing-dynasty/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHlaw1O3TMw https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/coors-brewery-heir-is-kidnapped https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Adolph_Coors_III https://cdm17197.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/collguides/id/113
