In this brutally satisfying episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer, we dive into the dumbest decisions that brought some of the world’s most dangerous serial killers to justice. These weren’t master criminals brought down by genius detectives—they were their own worst enemies. From Israel Keyes using his victim’s debit card at ATMs on camera, to Arthur Shawcross returning to the scene of the crime for a snack, to Dennis Nilsen casually calling a plumber about human remains in his drain—these guys practically handed themselves over.We’re cracking open a cold one and laughing through the jaw-dropping idiocy of killers who couldn’t help but leave a trail of breadcrumbs straight to prison. Sometimes evil isn't just cruel... it's really, really stupid.

When U.S. Air Force Captain Marty Theer was gunned down in a Fayetteville parking lot just days before Christmas in 2000, authorities were baffled. But as investigators unraveled the case, they discovered a tangled web of lies, betrayal, and a deadly love triangle. At the center? His wife, Michelle Theer — a seemingly sweet marriagecounselor with dark secrets and a dangerous lover.

In this episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer, we dive deep into the shocking murder-for-hire plot that rocked a military community and sparked a national media frenzy. From internet affairs to cold-blooded conspiracy, this is the story of how love, lust, and manipulation led to murder.

Cindy McKay thought she was a criminal mastermind—but in reality, she was more Dollar Store than Oceans Eleven. In this episode, we dive into the ridiculous rise and spectacular fall of Cindy McKay: con artist, arsonist, murderer…and, frankly, an idiot.

From scamming neighbors with laughably bad schemes to setting fires she couldn’t control (or even properly plan), Cindy’s life of crime wasn’t just evil—it was embarrassingly sloppy. We’ll follow her bumbling trail of fraud, greed, and flaming stupidity all the way to her inevitable downfall.

How did this walking disaster manage to cause so much chaos? And how did it all go up in smoke—literally?

Pour yourself a cold one and buckle up. This is one messof a story.
