Killer Queens: A True Crime Podcast

Killer Queens: A Light True Crime Podcast

We could tell you about our show, but in the words of LeVar Burton, "don't take our word for it!" Here is an actual listener's description of the show: "Think Cher Horowitz meets Dolly Parton... create a love child. Then THAT person meets Bill Kurtis.... and two random girls are the product of that.... that's Tyrella and Tori (sisters and hosts). Smart, weird, pretty, blonde, hilarious, southern, and just really okay with being themselves.... even when it is weird. It made me realize [they] became their role models without even meaning to." Give it a try if you like ANY of those people and/or a lighter take on your True Crime! read less

Serial Killer Gerard Schaefer
Serving as a sheriff's deputy in Martin County, Florida, Gerard Schaefer led a double life, portraying himself as a dedicated officer while secretly engaging in gruesome acts. Schaefer was convicted of the first degree murders of two young women, Susan Place and Georgia Jessup. Investigators suspect that Schaefer was responsible for as many as thirty murders from the late 60s to the early 70s before his arrest and eventual conviction. During his incarceration, Schaefer penned short stories depicting the abduction and murder of women, some of which contained chilling details correlating with women who had been reported missing or bodies that had been found, adding a disturbing layer to the already gruesome nature of his crimes.   **TRIGGER WARNING** Abduction | Kidnapping | Torture | Dismemberment | Murder with a weapon (Knife & Gun) | Rape | Animal Cruelty | Racism Hang with us: Follow Us on Instagram Like Us on Facebook Join our Case Discussion Group on Facebook Get Killer Queens Merch Bonus Episodes Check Out our Amazing Sponsors:  LolaVie: Get 15% off LolaVie with the code QUEENS at https://www.lolavie.com/QUEENS #lolaviepod Want More Ways to Support the Show?  Visit Our Amazon Storefront: Head over to killerqueenspodcast.com/links and scroll down to “Shop Our Style” or “Our Amazon Faves.” Here, you’ll find all the posts you can shop with our unique links to each item as well as our Amazon Storefront where we have lists like:  90’s Finds (curated by Tori with all the best 90’s stuff like tomagotchis and my little ponies) Back to School Must-Haves Gift Ideas for Kiddos that Tyrella loves Podcast Essentials (if you’ve ever wanted to start your own) and more!  Get Our First 44 Episodes Free: Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!

312: The Murder of Eric Richins (Kouri Richins)
In the early morning of March 4th, 2022, 33-year-old Kouri Richins called 911 from her home in Kamas, Utah. She said that she’d come back into the bedroom she shared with her 39-year-old husband Eric to find him cold and unresponsive. First responders arrived, but were unable to revive Eric. The father of three was pronounced dead. His autopsy later revealed that he’d ingested about 5 times the lethal amount of Fentanyl. Nobody could believe that Eric had died from a drug overdose. It didn’t take long for investigators to zero in on Eric’s wife, Kouri. Evidence showed that she’d made significantly poor financial decisions, leaving her in a position that may have led her to commit murder.

308: The Death of Sandy Maloney- Accident or Murder?
Sandy Maloney was expected in court in February of 1998 for her final hearing in her divorce from husband, John Maloney.  She had spoken with her mother several times the night before and after being concerned for her daughter, Lola promised that she would make the just over two hour drive from Madison, Wisconsin to Green Bay, Wisconsin the next morning to check on her.  When Lola arrived, she found her daughter’s body burned, not only on the sofa, but into it.  After months of investigating, her husband, a local police officer, was accused and convicted of her murder.  However, he has always maintained his innocence and it’s entirely possible that he isn’t responsible for Sandy’s death.

307: The Disappearance of Brandon Lawson
On August 8th, 2013, 26-year-old Brandon Lawson left his home in San Angelo, Texas after a huge fight with his fiancé. She hoped that he’d return after cooling down, but she woke up the next morning to find multiple missed calls from Brandon. She quickly learned that while she was asleep, Brandon’s brother, Kyle, had left to bring him gas after he’d run out on a desolate road. After several strange phone calls to Kyle, Brandon made a 911 call, begging for help, saying that he was being chased. When Kyle finally arrived, he found Brandon’s truck abandoned, but his brother was nowhere to be found. 10 years later, some questions about Brandon’s sudden disappearance have been answered, but his family is still left wondering, what happened to Brandon that night?

304: Atlanta Centennial Park Bombing
In 1996, the Summer Olympics were held in Atlanta, Georgia. On July 27th, thousands had gathered at Centennial Park for a late night concert. The FBI was told that a tip was called into 911 saying that a bomb would go off in the park within 30 minutes. A search ensued, and the bomb was located by security guard Richard Jewell. An evacuation was ordered, but three minutes into it, the bomb detonated. Two people died as a result of the bombing and 111 others were injured. The person responsible wouldn’t be captured until 2003, but before that, Richard Jewell was cast as the hero, then, unjustly the villain in the bombing.  ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Terrorism (Bombing) | Anti-LGBTQ Violence | Anti-Abortion Violence Hang with us: Follow Us on Instagram Like Us on Facebook Join our Case Discussion Group on Facebook Get Killer Queens Merch Bonus Episodes Support Our AMAZING Sponsors: ExpressVPN: So stop missing out on great TV and get thousands of new shows with ExpressVPN—we got them to give you guys three extra months free when you use our special link ExpressVPN.com/queens.

300: Serial Killer- Sean Vincent Gillis
In February of 2004, the body of a nude woman was discovered near an agricultural research station for Louisiana State University (LSU). The crime scene was processed and it was discovered that the woman had suffered a deep slash to her neck and there were ligature marks all around her neck. Her body had been positioned in a way so that trauma to her genitals would clearly be seen by anyone who found her. Investigators found signs that she had been dragged to the scene, tire tracks nearby, and 13 empty beer cans. The body was determined to be Donna Johnston, and she was the final victim of Sean Vincent Gillis’ 10 year killing spree.  ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Murder | Murder by Slashing, Stabbing, or Strangulation | Body Mutilation | Dismemberment |Cannibalism |Sexual Assault Hang with us: Follow Us on Instagram Like Us on Facebook Join our Case Discussion Group on Facebook Get Killer Queens Merch Bonus Episodes Support Our AMAZING Sponsors: Quince: Get affordable luxury for everyone on your list with Quince!
