    S03E18: A Bed, a Meal, and a Shallow Grave: The Landlady of Death
    Dec 14 2025
    From the outside, 1426 F Street in Sacramento, California, looked like a respectable Victorian boarding house run by a kind, grandmotherly woman with a reputation for helping the community's most vulnerable. But beneath Dorothea Puente's sweet facade lay a cold, calculating killer with a lifetime of deceit and fraud.This episode delves into the chilling story of the "Death House Landlady." Tracing Dorothea's decades-long criminal history—from check forgery and running a brothel to eventually targeting her own tenants: the elderly, the disabled, and those with no one to look after them.The motive was not pleasure, but profit. She would drug her boarders, steal their government benefit and Social Security checks, and when they disappeared, she would simply tell concerned parties that they had moved on. Her deadly operation only came to light when an investigation into a missing tenant led police to an unthinkable discovery: seven bodies buried in shallow graves right in the backyard.

    S03E17: Recent Evils: The Murder of Rebecca Park and Crimes of Oninda Romelus
    Dec 7 2025
    Rebecca Park

    On the night of November 3, 2025, 22-year-old Rebecca Park's biological mother, Cortney Bartholomew, and her step-father, Bradley Bartholomew lured her to their home. Since Rebecca was due to give birth soon, it was assumed they lured her there on the premise of having a baby shower for her, but they threw her in a car where they took her to the Manistee National Forest in Michigan. It is here that they brutally tortured and stabbed Rebecca, even cutting her baby from her womb. Rebecca was considered a missing person until November 25, when her body was found. Her baby has still yet to be found, and this case is still ongoing.

    Oninda Romelus
    Oninda Romelus, a 31-year-old mother of 4 living in the Porter area of Texas put her 4 children into her vehicle on the early morning hours of October 4, 2025 and took them to a location near a gas station in Angleton, Brazoria County where she then pulled a weapon and shot all of them. She then drove to the gas station and called 911, stating that her children were going to kill her so she had to "do it to them" first. She told police at the scene that her children were "dead to her" and "with the devil." Two of her children passed away and two of them were flown by helicopter and are still recovering. This case is currently still ongoing.

  • S03E16: Blonde Fury: The Tormented Life of Ruth Ellis

    S03E16: Blonde Fury: The Tormented Life of Ruth Ellis
    Nov 30 2025
    In the glamorous, smoky underworld of 1950s London, Ruth Ellis was a platinum-blonde trailblazer: a young, ambitious nightclub manager who quickly became the star of her own complicated life. But her world of glitz and aspiration was violently shattered by a toxic, abusive affair with wealthy racing driver David Blakely.
    On Easter Sunday, 1955, Ruth stalked Blakely to a Hampstead pub and shot him. Her immediate, chilling confession—"It is obvious when I shot him I intended to kill him"—sealed her fate. Ruth was the last woman to be hanged in the UK, and it sparked much controversy as her severe abuse at the hands of David Blakley was not thoroughly taken into account. Now, 70 years later, her grandchildren have applied to have her posthumously conditionally pardoned for her crimes. While it will not completely quash her record as she had admitted to killing David, it will show that her being hanged was a gross miscarriage of justice.
