19. Murderous Melodies: Killing You Softly With Our Songs Thanksgiving special



 

Murderous Melodies
Crime may not pay but it sure does provide an entertaining way for a singer to tell a unique story. 
The murder ballad has been around for as long as singing and murder itself. 
The murder ballad, a sub-genre from the ballad, is a song that tells a narrative about 
a crime often including the 'why’ as well as the fallout. Join Cam and Jen as we attempt (badly) 
to sing (please have ear plugs ready) and discuss some tunes you may have never known 
were based on a twisted true tale. 



New listener discretion by the wonderfully fabulous OctoberpodVHS    Do yourself a favor and check him out!

16. Killer Next Door: William Lester Suff

A man searching for cans thinks he sees a mannequin. As the man got closer, he could see it was not a mannequin but the body of a young woman. There were few clues but sadly it wouldn’t be long before this California killer would again come calling. And again. And again and many more times.





This is the story of a man who lived a seemingly normal life right alongside the officers who were desperately looking for a madman. Little did they realize he was right in front of them. Please join us as we discuss the ‘Riverside Killer’ also known as the ‘Lake Elsinore Killer’ William Suff.
