    Demon of the Belfry: The Murders of Blanch Lamont and Minnie Williams
    Dec 15 2025
    Episode 397: In April 1895, two young women, both twenty-one, from San Francisco’s Emmanuel Baptist Church vanished days apart. Blanche Lamont, a dedicated teacher-in-training, and Minnie Williams, a hardworking domestic with dreams of her own classroom, both entered the same church and never left. Their bodies were later discovered inside the building, setting off one of the most sensational murder trials in California history. This episode explores the lives of Blanche and Minnie, the discovery of their deaths, the investigation that followed, and the arrest and trial of Canadian-born medical student William Henry Theodore Durrant, accused of killing them.

    Episode 396: In this episode, we learn about an enigmatic narcissistic psychopath who led the Californian cult called The Children of Thunder. Glenn Taylor Helzer, and the other leadership was comprised of his brother Justin Helzer and their follower Dawn Godman. Raised in a strict Mormon home, Taylor’s life spiralled after years of mental health trouble. By 2000, the trio had formed a cult under Taylor’s delusional leadership. That summer, they murdered Ivan and Annette Stineman, Selina Bishop (daughter of guitarist Elvin Bishop), Jennifer Villarin, and James Gamble. The crime spree and investigation shocked authorities and families, exposing how Taylor twisted faith and loyalty into violence.

  • Bound by Silence: The Murder of Dr. Edith Wightman

    Bound by Silence: The Murder of Dr. Edith Wightman
    Dec 1 2025
    Episode 395: On a cold December day in 1983, McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, was shaken by a deeply unsettling crime. Dr. Edith Wightman, a respected scholar, was discovered dead in her office: bound with tape, handcuffed, and suffocated with a cloth. The investigation took an even stranger turn when police arrested Michael Allen Crowley, a chemist from Welland, who had been seen on campus in disguise, dressed in women’s clothing and a wig. With no personal connection to the victim, and the bizarre methods used, the murder left students and faculty reeling, and raised questions still unanswered to this day.

my husband and I really enjoyed this episode. I ever only knew about Vince Coleman, but not really about anything else of the origin of the ship that exploded.

actually learned something. outstanding

attention is paid to the victims. none of the criminals are glorified. but this is more than true crime. It looks at the history of Canada, that does not get a lot of attention, dark incidents and the events surrounding them. My favourite is the episode about the Halifax explosion. although I would love it to be updated with the superior co-host who would add more depth. I want to hear more history!

RESPECTFUL.

Just the right balance of info to satisfy curiosity without over the top graphic details. They tell the stories of the victims and their families in respectful ways.

Very well done and respectful
