True Crime Sleep Stories
Hello and welcome to True Crime Sleep Stories, where you can settle in with a good true crime tale while drifting off into a safe sleepy slumber. Maybe you want to sip on a cup of hot tea, grab a warm fleece blanket, or cozy up by the fire. Whatever you decide to do, just make sure you’re comfortable and ready for relaxation. And now it’s time to get comfy… because I’m going to tell you a bedtime story.
In this episode of True Crime Sleep Stories, we'll gently explore the remarkable case of Julia Wallace, a quiet musician whose tragic death has puzzled detectives, judges, crime writers, and historians for more than ninety years.
Step back into the rain-soaked streets of Liverpool in the winter of 1931, where one ordinary terraced house became the setting for one of Britain's most enduring unsolved mysteries.
We'll wander through the atmospheric streets of 1930s Liverpool, meet William and Julia Wallace, and follow the strange series of events that began with a mysterious telephone call from a man who may never have existed. Was the call an elaborate deception? A cruel prank? Or the first move in a carefully planned crime?
As always, this isn't a story of sensationalism or shock. Instead, we'll take a calm, thoughtful journey through history, examining the evidence, the investigation, and the enduring questions that continue to fascinate true crime enthusiasts to this day.
So settle in, relax, and let the story unfold at an unhurried pace.

On tonight's episode of True Crime Sleep Stories...
Joseph Kallinger, a Philadelphia shoemaker and father of seven, was shaped by severe childhood abuse and untreated mental illness. In 1974–1975, delusions of divine commands led him, and tragically, his 12-year-old son Michael, into a brief but devastating crime spree.
This episode honors the victims:
José Collazo (age 10)
Joseph Kallinger Jr. (Joey, age 13)
Maria Fasching (age 21)
We also remember the survivors of multiple terrifying home invasions across Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey... families bound, robbed, and traumatized over hours.
Told with respect and care, focusing on their lives, courage, and the human cost.
Sweet dreams, stay safe, and lock your doors tonight.
See you in the shadows. 🌑

Tonight on True Crime Sleep Stories, we revisit one of the most haunting public service announcements in American television history: the nightly reminder that began airing in the late 1960s...
“It’s 10 p.m. Do you know where your children are?”
What started as a simple, well-meaning nudge amid rising urban crime and changing family dynamics slowly took on a darker resonance as the 1970s and 1980s brought wave after wave of heartbreaking child disappearances and exploitation cases. In this episode, we trace the PSA’s origins and quietly walk through some of the era’s most infamous tragedies: the Houston “Candy Man” murders, the Chowchilla school bus kidnapping, Etan Patz’s disappearance that launched the milk carton campaign, the Atlanta Child Murders, Adam Walsh’s abduction, Johnny Gosch’s vanishing, and the hidden horrors uncovered on North Fox Island. We also draw subtle parallels to modern cases like Jeffrey Epstein’s island, showing how patterns of power, isolation, and predation have persisted across decades.
These are stories of vulnerability exploited in everyday moments. Paper routes at dawn, bus stops on the last day of school, toy aisles in busy malls. And of the progress born from tragedy: Amber Alerts, immediate-response laws, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and a cultural shift toward greater awareness and protection.
Crimes against children are, without question, among the most horrific and heartbreaking offenses imaginable. They shatter families, communities, and our collective sense of safety in ways few other crimes can. This episode is handled with care and respect... no graphic details, no sensationalism, just the facts, the human impact, and the quiet reflection on how far we’ve come while still needing to stay vigilant.
Sweet dreams, stay safe, and lock your doors tonight.
See you in the shadows. 🌑

Welcome to True Crime Sleep Stories.
In the summer of 1983, 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi, a Vatican citizen and daughter of a papal household employee, left home for a routine music lesson in Rome... and never returned.
What began as a simple missing person case quickly unraveled into one of the most enduring mysteries of our time, weaving together cryptic phone calls, terrorist demands, mafia connections, Vatican scandals, and decades of unanswered questions.
Join us in this soothing yet haunting episode as we gently explore the layers of tragedy and intrigue surrounding Emanuela's disappearance... still unsolved after more than 40 years, with investigations reopened in recent years and new developments emerging as late as 2025.
This is one of Europe's most perplexing cold cases.
Sweet dreams, and thanks for listening to True Crime Sleep Stories. 🌙

In 1984, Japan was gripped by one of its strangest true crime sagas: a shadowy group calling themselves the "Monster with 21 Faces" kidnapped a candy company president from his bathtub, demanded millions in ransom, then escalated to taunting letters, arson, acid bombs, and actual cyanide-laced sweets placed on store shelves.
They terrorized massive brands like Ezaki Glico (makers of Pocky) and Morinaga, forcing nationwide recalls and widespread panic over everyday treats. For 17 months, they outsmarted Japan's elite police force... and then vanished forever. No arrests. No motive fully explained.
If you've ever wondered how something as innocent as candy could become a tool of terror, settle in. Sweet dreams... or maybe not. 🍫
Have you heard of this case before? Drop a comment, tell us your thoughts, theories, or which unsolved mystery you'd like next!

In this True Crime Sleep Stories bonus episode, host Kelli shares a real, personal mystery she first told on The Disclosure Lounge podcast.
On a pitch-black "Black Moon" night in August 2025, while tent camping alone along a river, something intelligent moved through the darkness—circling, watching, making deliberate sounds that still haunt me months later.
Was it Bigfoot? Something otherworldly? A prankster? Or simply the woods playing tricks?
No real crime in this episode, just the slow, primal build of unease that lingers long after the story ends.
Close your eyes… breathe deep… and drift into the night with me.
Sweet dreams. 🌑

Bigfoot had taken her to join a hidden colony in underground caves.No trace of Theresa was ever found in the vast, remote wilderness near Shuteye Peak and Ghost Canyon. No body, no definitive evidence, and no resolution after nearly four decades. This episode moves through her troubled early life, the chaotic circumstances leading to the trip, the bizarre investigation, and the lingering questions
If you have any information—no matter how small—about Theresa Ann Bier's disappearance, please contact the Fresno Police Department at 559-498-1265. Even tips from decades ago could provide closure.

Tonight on True Crime Sleep Stories, we explore the life and crimes of Robert Christian Hansen, the Anchorage baker known as the “Butcher Baker.”
The shy Iowa native built a normal life in Alaska: bakery owner, family man, bush pilot, and avid hunter. From the early 1970s to 1983, he abducted dozens of women, mostly sex workers and dancers, chained and assaulted some in a hidden basement space at home, and released others under threats.
Over 30 survived.
At least 17 (likely more) did not.
He flew or drove them to remote wilderness, released them as prey, and hunted them with rifle and knife, burying bodies and keeping trophies.
The case broke in 1983 when survivor Cindy Paulson escaped his basement and fled from an airport. Her story, ballistics, and a secret map led to his arrest and confession.
Hansen received 461 years without parole and died in prison in 2014.

On this episode of True Crime Sleep Stories, we explore the chilling truth that monsters rarely look the part. They wear friendly smiles, live next door, or even share your home as family or partners, the people meant to love and protect us. Beneath the trimmed hedges and warm porch lights of ordinary suburbs, unimaginable darkness can hide in plain sight. Settle in under the covers as we slowly unpack four cases where trust was shattered, innocence violated, and the facade of normalcy crumbled.
Before we begin, a heartfelt note: researching and writing this episode left me deeply unsettled. The brutality, the betrayal by those closest to the victims, and the violation of such profound trust truly broke my heart. My deepest sympathies go out to everyone impacted by these horrific crimes, as always. True crime podcasting can take a real emotional toll, especially with so much heaviness in the world right now. So next time, I think we'll shift to something completely different and lighter. We could all use a pallet cleanser, right? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments or on social media. What type of case should we cover?
Heists? Cons? White collar crimes? Something silly?
This episode delves into four haunting cases of hidden evil in everyday homes:
The Ken and Barbie Killers (Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka) — A seemingly perfect Canadian couple whose charm masked serial rapes and the torture-murders of three young women, including Homolka's own sister.
The John List Family Annihilation — In 1971, a devout accountant and Sunday school teacher in affluent Westfield, New Jersey, methodically killed his wife, mother, and three children in their grand home before vanishing for 18 years under a new identity.
The Caffey Family Murders — In rural Alba, Texas, in 2008, 16-year-old Erin Caffey orchestrated the brutal killing of her mother and two younger brothers over a forbidden romance, with her boyfriend and accomplices carrying out the violence while the house burned.
The Iowa City Sueppel Murders — On Easter Sunday 2008, former banker Steven Sueppel bludgeoned his wife and four children to death in their quiet Iowa City home amid financial shame and impending charges, before taking his own life.
These stories build on the theme: you can never judge a book by its cover. Evil often hides behind the most disarming disguises.
As you drift toward sleep, carry this quiet reminder: cherish the light you see in the world, the warmth of smiles, the comfort of familiar faces, but remember that the people who seem the safest can sometimes hide the deepest shadows.
If these stories moved you (or unsettled you), subscribe, rate, and review us on your favorite platform. It helps us keep sharing these haunting tales.
Thank you for spending this quiet night with us. We'll meet you in the shadows next time—something gentler on the horizon. Until then, stay safe out there, and lock your doors. Goodnight. 🌙

Welcome to True Crime Sleep Stories.
On July 10, 2016, 27-year-old DNC staffer Seth Rich was shot twice in the back in Washington, D.C.'s Bloomingdale neighborhood, just one block from his apartment. Police called it a botched robbery (however... nothing was stolen, signs of struggle), but the case remains unsolved nearly ten years later.
Weeks after his death, WikiLeaks released over 20,000 internal DNC emails, sparking questions about whether Seth may have been a source. Julian Assange's unprompted mention of Seth's murder on Dutch TV, a $20,000 WikiLeaks reward, and since-retracted private investigator claims of evidence linking him to WikiLeaks keep the mystery alive.
Seth was a young man from Omaha who moved to D.C. to make democracy work better for regular people. Whether or not he ever touched those emails, his death in the middle of one of the most explosive political moments of the decade feels too coincidental to dismiss outright. His story isn't about picking sides. It's about asking whether we still live in a country where asking hard questions can cost you everything.
Who killed Seth Rich?
Thank you for helping us keep the light on these shadows.
Sweet dreams, stay curious, and lock your doors. See you in the next deep dive.

In this episode of True Crime Sleep Stories, we explore the haunting case of Herb Baumeister, a suburban Indianapolis businessman and family man who hid a deadly secret.
Over the course of more than a decade, he is believed to have murdered numerous young men—many last seen at gay bars in central Indiana—and buried their remains on his 18-acre estate, Fox Hollow Farm.
The discovery of thousands of bone fragments in 1996 revealed the scale of the horror, yet many questions remain unanswered nearly 30 years later.

Welcome back to True Crime Sleep Stories. This episode is a recording from a recent Iowa show I took part in for a great community cause...
On June 9, 1912, in quiet Villisca, Iowa, the Moore family and two young guest sisters, the Stillinger girls, returned home from church, happy. In the dead of night, with the whole town darkened by a power issue, someone slipped inside with an axe from their own shed.
Eight people (six children) were brutally murdered in their sleep. The killer covered windows, draped mirrors, ate from the pantry, and left a slab of bacon beside the weapon. He lingered for hours before vanishing at dawn.
Despite suspects, trials, and over 100 years of investigation, no one was ever convicted. The case remains unsolved.
The Villisca house stands today as a museum and one of America’s most haunted sites... cold spots, slamming doors, children’s laughter that stops, and whispers on recordings.
Settle in, get cozy, and let this true Iowa mystery carry you to sleep. Sweet dreams… and maybe leave a light on tonight.
Thank you for listening.
Stay safe out there.

In this episode of True Crime Sleep Stories, we drift into one of the internet's most delightfully absurd "conspiracy theories": the long-running joke, sparked by comedians Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky on their podcast Your Mom's House, that country music legend Garth Brooks might be hiding a very dark secret.
From emotional Facebook Lives and endless tears, to the infamous Chris Gaines alter ego, massive stadium tours where people gomissing, and that unforgettable catchphrase, "Where are the bodies, G?" we explore the origins of this theory.

On a quiet Thanksgiving night in 2013, while Seattle slept off its turkey dinners, two ordinary plumbers executed the the most audacious wine theft in Pacific Northwest history. Over 13 meticulous hours, Samuel Harris and Luke Thesing cut through walls, disabled cameras, and walked away with more than $648,000 worth of rare Bordeaux, California Cabernets, and priceless collectibles, only to be undone by a city tow truck and their own explosive overconfidence.
This is the true story of the spiral notebook titled “The Plan,” spray-painted security lenses, gas lines sliced, and the single camera they never saw. It’s a caper so perfectly planned and hilariously botched it feels scripted, except every detail actually happened.
Pour yourself a (legally purchased) glass, dim the lights, and let me walk you through the night two men tried to steal Thanksgiving… and almost burned down half of SoDo trying to cover it up.
Sweet dreams, and Happy Thanksgiving.
Cheers! ❤️

A gentle note before we begin
This week’s episode is 100% original crime fiction—a cozy, atmospheric holiday thriller I wrote especially for you. If you’re strictly here for real-life cases, feel free to save this one for a night when you’re in the mood for a creative bedtime story. Next time we’ll return to our usual true-crime format. But if you love a resourceful heroine, glittering empty mansions, and justice served with a side of Midwestern politeness… you’re in exactly the right place.
About the story
Sarah “Sunny” Jensen was once one of Chicago’s most trusted luxury real-estate agents. After a brutal divorce leaves her secretly living in her own vacant listings, one November night in a breathtaking Winnetka mansion she stumbles upon something monstrous hiding behind the Christmas lights: a high-society trafficking ring using the city’s empty homes as staging points.
With nothing but her ring of master keys, and the kind of grit that comes from growing up in the Heartland, Sunny dismantles the operation, saves four terrified girls, loses her real estate license…and accidentally launches an entirely new chapter of her life.
Part thriller, part love letter to women who refuse to stay down.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart
Creating these stories—whether pulled from real headlines or spun straight out of my imagination—is the source of great joy in my life. Knowing you’re here listening, blanket pulled high, means the world to me. Thank you for letting me be part of your wind-down ritual.
About the ads
I keep every ad in the first few minutes so the story itself is never interrupted. Those few ads are what allow me to keep the podcast free for everyone, week after week.
If you’d prefer an ad-free experience (I completely understand!), you can join our Patreon family for just $5/month at patreon.com/kellibrink. This will give you instant access to every episode ad-free the moment it’s finished, plus exclusive bonus stories and behind-the-scenes notes.
Your support in any form keeps the lights on and the stories flowing.
Should “The Keys She Kept” become a full novel (or series)?
Sunny still has an entire key ring of empty houses and a new job recovering missing people…
Let me know in the comments wherever you listen! Reply with YES if you want more of Sunny Jensen’s adventures!
Thank you for being here with me in the dark.
Change your alarm codes this season… just in case.
Sweet dreams,
Kelli ❤️

In the fog-choked alleys of 1888 Whitechapel, a phantom killer stalked the most vulnerable women of Victorian London. Five brutal murders – Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly – turned the East End into a nightmare and gave the world its first modern serial-killer legend: Jack the Ripper.
Tonight we walk those blood-soaked streets again. We’ll meet the women behind the headlines, explore the desperate poverty that made them targets, follow the frustrated police hunt, and examine the letters that taunted Scotland Yard.
Finally, we’ll look at the 21st-century breakthrough that many believe has finally unmasked the Ripper after 137 years, and the lingering doubts that keep the mystery alive.
Dim the lights, lock your doors, and let the story carry you into the shadows.

Thanksgiving 2012 was meant to be a quiet day for 64-year-old Byron David Smith in Little Falls, Minnesota. After suffering at least six burglaries in the prior year—including one the night before, he sat armed in his darkened basement, waiting. When two teenagers, Haile Kifer & Nicholas Brady, entered his home, he opened fire. The entire sequence was captured on over six hours of audio and video, recordings that revealed not just the shootings, but chilling taunts and “finishing shots” after the intruders were down.
Smith claimed he acted in self-defense under Minnesota’s castle doctrine. Prosecutors argued it was premeditated murder. The case became a flashpoint in debates over fear, lethal force, and the limits of protecting one’s home.

G’day to our Aussie listeners (and everyone else) - this one’s for you!
In the quiet Hunter Valley town of Aberdeen, in Australia, beloved miner and father John Price trusted the wrong person. What began as a volatile relationship ended in a crime so shocking it earned Katherine Knight the title of Australia’s most horrific female murderer.
From her traumatic childhood to her chilling expertise in an abattoir (a slaughterhouse where animals are processed for meat), we trace the red flags ignored until it was too late. This is a sobering look at untreated mental illness, domestic abuse, and a betrayal that scarred a family forever.
SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON!Trigger Warning: This episode discusses domestic violence, murder, acts of desecration following death, and has profanity. It is intended for mature audiences and may be disturbing. Listener discretion is advised.

On a quiet September evening in 1937, retired greeting-card tycoon Charles Sherman Ross pulled over on a suburban Chicago road to let a trailing car pass—only to find a revolver tapping his window. What followed was a chilling 15-day ordeal that captivated the nation: a meticulously planned $50,000 ransom, two hidden woodland dugouts, a murderous double-cross, and one of the FBI’s most sweeping manhunts.

In the snow-dusted driveway of a Pennsylvania estate, one of America’s wealthiest men raised a .44 Magnum and ended the life of an Olympic champion. This is the story of John Eleuthère du Pont—chemical heir, self-proclaimed ornithologist, wrestling messiah, and murderer.
In this episode of True Crime Sleep Stories, we dive deep into the bizarre world of Foxcatcher Farm: where Olympic gold medalists trained alongside thoroughbred horses, where a private army patrolled the grounds, and where paranoia finally exploded into bloodshed on January 26, 1996.
From the intoxicating lure of unlimited money to the slow unraveling of a mind convinced he was being hunted by underground forces, this episode explores how absolute power, mental illness, and the American obsession with winning created one of the most haunting true-crime sagas of the 20th century.

In the quiet woods of Allenstown, New Hampshire, two rusted barrels hidden beneath the leaves held a secret that would take 40 years to unravel. Four lives—Marlyse Honeychurch, her daughters Marie and Sarah, and a little girl known only as “the middle child”—were stolen by a man who changed names as easily as seasons. Terry Peder Rasmussen, the “Chameleon Killer,” left a trail of aliases and vanished women across the country. But science, persistence, and the refusal to forget finally gave the victims their names back.
Tonight, drift into the chilling true story of the Bear Brook Murders, where genetic genealogy cracked a case that time tried to bury.

Four years after David Berkowitz was locked away for life, the Son of Sam—chained in an upstate prison—whispered a chilling prophecy to a fellow inmate: “A ritual killing is coming soon near Greenwich Village. They’ll be shot in the head.”
Weeks later, on Halloween 1981, it happened exactly as he foretold.
Photographer Ronald Sisman and 20-year-old Smith College student Elizabeth Platzman were beaten, executed, and left in a ransacked Chelsea apartment. The killers took only two things: Sisman’s .25-caliber pistol, and both victims' IDs… amid rumors they were hunting a snuff film said to show Berkowitz’s final Son of Sam murder.
Investigative journalist Maury Terry spent 40 years proving Berkowitz didn’t act alone. From prison, the killer named his handlers: “The Children”—a violent offshoot of the Process Church, tied to Scientology’s fringes, ritual sacrifice, and a coast-to-coast web of drugs, porn, and elite cover-ups.
This is the story Terry died chasing—and the prophecy that cannot be explained away.
This episode is a direct follow-up to our Halloween 1981 Sisman-Platzman murders episode. Listen to that first for full context.We’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Share your reflections or suggest true crime stories for future episodes. Sweet dreams, and stay inspired!

Imagine waking up in pitch-black darkness, your screams echoing off wooden walls, as the weight of six feet of earth presses down. No escape, no air, no hope—until a faint bell rings above ground. But is anyone listening? Dive into the real horrors of taphophobia in this episode that will have you checking your pulse... and the shadows.
From historical mishaps that inspired "safety coffins" with emergency bells to modern true crime tales of deliberate entombment, we weave a narrative that's equal parts historical fact and heart-pounding suspense.
- Safety Coffins & Bells: Inventions like Dr. Adolf Gutsmuth's feeding tube coffin (1822), Johann Taberger's rope-bell system (1829), and Count Michel de Karnice-Karnicki's spring-loaded design (1897). The chilling truth: No verified rescues.
- Story 1: Essie Dunbar (1915, South Carolina): The accidental burial of a woman in an epileptic coma—buried, exhumed, and rising from her coffin to live another 47 years. Chaos, screams, and local legends ensue.
- Story 2: Barbara Jane Mackle (1968 Kidnapping): The heiress buried alive in a ventilated box for 83 hours by kidnappers Gary Steven Krist and Ruth Eisemann-Schier. Ransom, FBI rescue, and a survivor's unbreakable spirit.

Your child’s favorite game, Roblox, is a digital playground for 70 million kids daily—but predators lurk in its shadows, trading virtual gifts for real harm. One survivor, Schlep, exposed criminals, only to be banned by the platform himself.
Parents, this chilling tale is your wake-up call: Online dangers are real, and your vigilance is vital.
In this episode of True Crime Sleep Stories, we tell the story of Schlep, a YouTuber who survived grooming on Roblox and turned hunter, leading to six predator arrests. Through a fictional thread about 12-year-old Lila, we show how predators exploit Roblox’s weak filters.
This story is raw and recent, unfolding in summer 2025, with limited public details due to ongoing legal cases and platform sensitivities. Information is drawn from Schlep’s statements, channel, news reports, and X posts as of September 2025, but gaps remain. Portions of this episode, like Lila’s arc, are fictional reenactments crafted for entertainment and to illustrate grooming risks vividly, not as factual accounts. Any inaccuracies are unintentional and reflect the evolving nature of this topic.
Listen Now: Parents, arm yourself against online threats with this urgent episode. Rate 5 stars and share with every parent—your action could save a child.

This isn’t your usual true crime story of murder or mystery—it’s a crime against humanity itself, a silent theft of our voices and connections.
Dive into the chilling reality of the Dead Internet Theory, where the web we love is a digital graveyard overrun by bots and algorithms.

From bot-fueled rage wars to synthetic influencers, this episode peels back the curtain on a web where human voices are fading fast. Will you dare to face the truth, or keep scrolling into the void?

Welcome to True Crime Sleep Stories, where haunting tales of the past guide you into a restful night’s sleep. In this episode, we journey to Ina, Illinois, in November 1987, to unravel the chilling and unsolved Dardeen Family Murders—a case that shattered a small town and left a mystery that lingers like fog over the fields. Settle in, dim the lights, and let this story carry you into the shadows.
Episode Description
On a crisp autumn evening in 1987, the Dardeen family—Keith, Elaine, their son Peter, and their unborn daughter Casey—lived a quiet life in a mobile home in rural Ina, Illinois. Dreams of a fresh start in Mount Carmel were on the horizon, but a darkness descended on November 17, silencing their hopes. Found brutally murdered in their home, with Keith’s body discovered a mile away, the Dardeens’ deaths stunned a community already shaken by a wave of violence. No forced entry, no clear motive, and a killer who vanished like a ghost. Was it a trusted friend, a drifter like Tommy Lynn Sells, or something more sinister? Join us as we explore this heartbreaking case, told with care to honor the lives lost, in a narrative designed to soothe and intrigue as you drift toward sleep.

Tonight, we transport you to the sultry streets of 1918 New Orleans, where the scent of jasmine lingers in the warm night air, and the distant hum of jazz floats through open windows.

Many inmates dreamed of escaping its confines, but only three men may have actually succeeded. Did John Anglin, Clarence Anglin, and Frank Morris perish in the icy waters of the Bay, or did they manage to escape to freedom and live out their lives in secrecy? The mystery remains unsolved to this day.
Drift off to sleep listening to this story about one of the most legendary prison breaks in history.

Jeannette DePalma was an American teenager who is believed to have been murdered on August 7, 1972 in New Jersey, United States.
The case, currently unsolved, has become a matter of significant controversy due in part to coverage in Weird NJ magazine and in the 2015 book Death on the Devil's Teeth.

On June 5, 1910, almost the entire Hardy family was brutally murdered, and found beaten to death in their home by their only remaining son.
Who could have done this?
Was it someone they knew...OR...was it the work of one of the US's first serial killers?

In this episode of True Crime Sleep Stories, Kelli tells you the creepy tale of, “The Severed Foot Mysteries”.
For years, there has been an odd epidemic of disembodied feet floating onto the shores of British Columbia, Canada, Washington State in the US.
These macabre discoveries have sparked a lot of interest among scientists and conspiracy theorists alike.
Why would so many feet be lost in this unusual way?
How did they get there?
What happened to the rest of the bodies?

Welcome to True Crime Sleep Stories!
The full video versions are available on YouTube at youtube.com/kellibrinktv
The Hinterkaifeck murders occurred on the evening of March 31st 1922, when six inhabitants of a small Bavarian farmstead, located approximately 70 kilometres north of Munich, Germany, were murdered by an unknown assailant.
Author Bill James, in his book, The Man from the Train, alleges that a man known as Paul Mueller may have been responsible for the murders.
There are many more suspects, and although the Hinterkaifek Murders have never been solved, the legacy lives on in literature, and on film, in the form of books, articles, case studies, documentaries, and podcasts.
