MURDER IN AMERICA is a true crime podcast that takes a state-by-state look at the most infamous homicides across the United States of America. Co-hosted by Courtney Shannon & Colin Browen (of "The Paranormal Files"), the two delve deep into the darkest tales of murder from each and every state, featuring two stories from a different state every week. Their passion for true crime, along with Colin's career in investigating paranormal activity gives the two a fresh outlook on these crimes, and allows them to gain the deepest perspectives possible when analyzing the grisly details of these horrific acts. Sometimes, you can't help but wonder... the dead don't talk... or DO they?

Kidnappings with ransoms demanded are very rare crimes. But in 1995, Courtney’s small hometown of Conroe, Texas was forever affected when a 12 year old boy named McKay Everett was abducted and held for ransom, taken right from his home. The ransom caller demanded $500,000 and promised to call back the next morning with more instructions, but that phone call never came. And McKay’s parents would never get to see their son alive again. Paulette Everett Norman, McKay’s mom, agreed to be a guest on this episode, where she walked us through the worst week of her entire life, and how she learned that her sons kidnapper, was someone that her son loved and trusted. You're listening, to MURDER IN AMERICA.

Update Description
Every day, millions of people walk the busy streets of New York City, from natives heading to work to tourists visiting famous attractions. Everywhere you go, you see thousands of faces from all walks of life. But how well do we really know these people? What are they capable of? In February of 2011 a man named Maksim Gelman spent 28 hours terrorizing Brooklyn and New York City, stabbing and killing people he believed had wronged him. He then attempted to flee by hijacking several cars, running over a man in the streets, and trying to hijack a subway train.
During a harrowing subway ride, Maksim Gelman attempted to add Joe Lozito to his list of murder victims. But thanks to Joe's heroic actions, he bravely thwarted Gelman's attack and single-handedly took down New York’s Spree Killer. Today, we have the privilege of hearing from Joe Lozito himself as he shares his incredible story. This is the story of Maksim Gelman, The NYC Spree Killer, and you are listening to Murder in America.

In the early days of the internet, chat rooms were often the only forms of interaction for people as they navigated their way through the unregulated and mysterious world wide web. And it was in those chat rooms where you could get to know people and divulge your deepest, darkest hidden secrets. But there are dangers that lie within. And this, unfortunately, was the trap that thirty-five-year-old Sharon Lopatka fell into. Sharon was a trusting person, a little too trusting, and it was this misplaced trust that would place her in an early grave. This is the twisted story of the murder of Sharon Lopatka and you’re listening to Murder In America.

On April 15th, 2013, during the annual Boston Marathon, two brothers approached the crowd and planted bombs right at the feet of innocent bystanders watching the race. Three people lost their lives, 17 people lost limbs, and hundreds of people were injured. The bombing was one of the deadliest attacks on US soil since 9/11, and in this episode, we discuss the Tsarnaev brothers - where they came from, the religion they practiced, the trial, and the possible connection to a triple homicide. This is the story of the Boston Marathon Bombers: The Tsarnaev Brothers, and you are listening to Murder in America.

Every year, the citizens of Boston, Massachusetts all get together to celebrate Patriot’s day. It was on the 15th of April when 26,839 runners all made their way to Hopkinton, Massachusetts, for the start of the 117th annual Boston Marathon. It truly is the happiest day of the year in the city. But on this day, in 2013, while everyone’s eyes are towards the finish line, no one notices the two unassuming young men walking through the crowd with backpacks on. No one knew that the most festive day of the city would turn into an agonizing chaos that was full of screams, flesh, and blood. This is part one of the story of the Boston Marathon Bombings, and you’re listening to Murder in America.

In the late hours of May 23rd, 2013, paramedics in Palmdale, California, responded to a call about an 8-year-old boy who wasn't breathing. Most parents would be in hysteria if their child were put in this situation – but Gabriel’s mother, Pearl Fernandez, and her boyfriend Isauro Agurrie were both agitated, repeatedly telling the first responders that it happened when the brothers were playing instead. However, the injuries on the little boy’s body told a different story. This is the story of the torture and murder of 8-Year-Old Gabriel Fernandez, and you are listening to Murder in America.

On March 26th, 1997, the largest suicide mass on US soil was unearthed in a prestigious neighborhood of San Diego, called Rancho Santa Fe, California. To the outside, it appeared to be a mass suicide, a horrible and unfortunate event. But to the 39 people inside, it was a commencement – a graduation that their leader, Marshall Herff Applewhite, had been preaching to them for years. This is the story of The Heaven’s Gate Cult and you are listening to Murder in America.

Colorado is a beautiful state with incredible mountain ranges, the best sunsets, and a ton of wildlife, where many people dream of starting their own families. But Colorado also has a dark history, with the first mass school shooting in America at Columbine High School, frequent drug-related deaths, vandalism, robberies, and even murder. It seems like a coin toss on how your life could turn out after moving there. A young woman named Kelsey Berreth would soon realize this, but unfortunately, it was already too late. This is the story of Patrick Frazee, and you are listening to Murder in America.

In last week’s episode, we talked about the life of Charles Whitman, the 25-year-old ex marine and architect student at the University of Texas at Austin. After murdering his wife and mother in the early hours of August 1st, 1966, Charlie loaded his vehicle full of his weapons and supplies that he needed that day, and then he made his way over to the University of Texas at Austin. From there, he would go to the top of the UT tower, and commit one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history. This is part 2 of the story of the UT Tower Shooting, and you’re listening to Murder in America.

For more than three and a half decades, the disappearance of 12-year-old Jonelle Matthews was a mystery – a riddle neither authorities nor her family members could solve. The residents of her cloistered Colorado hometown had scoured every inch of prairie. Jonelle’s face had been on milk cartons nationwide. Even the President of the United States had appealed to the public for help. Still, every lead had fizzled. Every person of interest had turned out to be a dead end.
Then, in 2019, Jonelle’s remains were unearthed near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With the discovery came a troubling new question: Had the truth been hiding in plain sight the entire time? Was the man who couldn’t stop obsessing over Jonelle’s disappearance also the person who took her? From Campside Media and Wondery comes season two of SUSPECT. Former CNN reporter Ashley Fantz and executive producers Matthew Shaer and Eric Benson (Suspect, Over My Dead Body) dig into one of the most mind-bending cold cases in modern history, in an attempt to separate fact and fiction, compulsion from guilt, and true-crime fandom from a motive for murder.
Hey Prime Members, you can binge all 6 episodes of SUSPECT: Vanished in the Snow ad-free on Amazon Music. Download the Amazon Music app today:Wondery.fm/MIA_Sus2

The biggest interstate in America is called the I-5, which is 1,381 miles and stretches down the west coast from Canada to Mexico. Millions of people take this road every single day, and it’s also the main road used to haul drugs into the United States. But in the 1980s, Interstate-5 was known for something else: a series of burglaries on the west coast and a man who quickly became known as the I-5 bandit. And after awhile this man’s crimes started to escalate - first to sexual assaults, then finally to murder - and he was given the new name of the I-5 killer. This is the story of Randall Woodfield, and you are listening to Murder in America.

On December 19th, 2001, the body of a small child, wearing nothing but underwear, was found in the Alesa River in the Oregon town of Waldport. Little did anyone know at the time that the little boy’s death was not the result of an accident, nor that the rest of little Zachary’s family would be found in the dark Oregon waters as well - and a family’s secrets would be revealed. This is the story of the Family Annihilator, Christian Longo, and you are listening to Murder in America.

Throughout his life, Drew Peterson was known as a womanizer, a fact that would eventually lead to the divorce from his third wife, Kathleen Savio, after his affair with 17-year-old Stacy Cales came to light. During Drew and Kathleen’s tumultuous divorce, and coincidentally right before an important court date, Kathleen was found dead in her bathtub. Initially ruled as an accidental drowning, it wouldn't be until Drew’s fourth wife - the same Stacy Cales he had an affair with - went missing that Kathleen’s death would be ruled a homicide. Follow us on this episode as we talk about Kathleen’s murder, Stacy’s disappearance, and the huge media frenzy surrounding this entire story. This is part two of the story of Drew Peterson, the killer cop of Illinois, and you are listening to Murder in America.

In our last episode, we ended with John Wayne Gacy’s execution - but the story does not end there. There has long been speculation that Gacy did not act alone, and after spending weeks researching this case we’ve learned a lot of things that are just too crazy to ignore, like one of Gacy’s PDM employees becoming a cannibalistic serial killer and another being connected to one of America’s largest pedophile rings. In this episode, we’re diving into the largely unknown conspiracy behind the killer clown’s murders. This is part four of the story of John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown, and you are listening to Murder in America.

With a victim count totalling 32 in the summer of 1978, there was one more life that John Wayne Gacy would take before his rein of terror would come to an end. When Robert Piest, a beloved honors student, went missing in December 1978 the police would soon zero in on the man responsible for the missing boys around Chicago - and what they would find in the unassuming suburban Chicago home would shock not only America, but the entire world. And that discovery would soon earn Gacy the title of the most prolific serial killer in American history. Join us on this episode, as we walk you through Gacy’s final murder, and everything that followed. This is part three of the story of John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown, and you are listening to Murder in America.

It was the height of the 1970s and dozens of young men from the Chicago area started going missing. 33 young men, to be exact. By 1978, 29 of the 33 missing young men would be found, dead, in the small home on Summerdale Avenue in the Chicago suburbs. Some were buried in the backyard, others in a concrete slab in the garage, but most would be found in the cold, wet, and crowded crawlspace beneath the home. It would not be long before the entire world knew the name of the man responsible - this is part two of the story of John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown, and you are listening to Murder in America.

Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there.
When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn’t the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life.
Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?

It was the 1970s, and young men who had their whole lives in front of them started going missing around the greater Chicago area. While some disappeared while looking for a job in the city, or hanging out near the Greyhound bus station, or walking along the roads outside of Chicago, the one thing all 33 missing young men had in common was that they were manipulated and murdered by a man named John Wayne Gacy, with many of their bodies being left to decompose within the crawlspace of his suburban Chicago home. This is part one of the story of John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown, and you are listening to Murder in America.

On May 4, 2001, Bonny Lee Bakley was found fatally shot in a car on a dark North Hollywood street. The prime suspect was her husband, famed actor Robert Blake. But Bonny, a longtime con artist, had plenty of enemies. She left behind a trail of men she’d scammed, and she had a volatile relationship with Christian Brando, the troubled son of movie star Marlon Brando.
Not since the O.J. Simpson case had the eyes of the nation been so fixated on a homicide. The search for Bonny’s killer took detectives on an eleven-month odyssey across the country and through Hollywood's underbelly of hustlers, drug addicts, and would-be hitmen. It would be the most expensive murder investigation in LAPD history to date.
This is the story of Robert and Bonny’s toxic relationship, her shocking murder, and his chaotic trial. Did actor Robert Blake kill his wife? Or was the murder someone else's vendetta?

WARNING: THIS EPISODE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. THIS IS A SERIOUS MESSAGE- LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE WITH CAUTION. We go into GRAPHIC detail in this episode and it really is disturbing.
In the early 1900's, a mysterious killer stalked the streets of New York City. He was given many nicknames by the press, "The Boogeyman", "The Werewolf of Wisteria", "The Brooklyn Vampire"... but even these names do not describe accurately how horrific the crimes of Albert Fish were. This, in my opinion, is the most disturbing episode of our show to date. This story, will haunt you.

Guys. You HAVE to join us and start listening to Season 1 of the new podcast Witnessed, titled “Borderlands”. It's an investigative documentary series about a charismatic outlaw, an iconic small-town sheriff, and the record-setting drug bust that ensnared them both.
The podcast is set deep in the rugged Texas borderlands, where there are no rules and you leave your guns at the door. There’s a lot of corruption in the state, and a lot of government officials like to abuse their power.
Host Rob D’Amico transports listeners back in time to the U.S. side of the border, to the time when the War on Drugs was just beginning … a time during which so much dirty money was swirling across the Rio Grande that even the most incorruptible citizens were tempted to commit illegal acts.
This is a tall but true tale of the real cocaine cowboys in the wild, wild west. Listen to Sony's BORDERLANDS today!

In the late 1990's and early 2000's, a brutal serial killer terrorized the community of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, murdering women at random and carving up their bodies for fun. The killer himself was a Star Trek nerd, an unassuming man with a girlfriend and a clean criminal record. But behind closed doors, this psycho was showering with the corpses of his victims, painting the fingernails of dismembered hands and killing at random, whenever he wanted to. However, these crimes cannot carry on forever, and the story of his eventual capture is almost as shocking as the crimes themselves. You're listening, to MURDER IN AMERICA.

This murder was the inspiration for the movie "FARGO".
Our story takes place in St. Paul, Minnesota, in a neighborhood called Highland Park. It’s March of 1963, and the homes within this neighborhood are filled with members of the upper-middle class. It was a neighborhood that a lot of people would aspire to raise a family in. One where no one would suspect danger or foul play. This was the case for the home at 1720 Hillcrest Avenue, where the Thompson family lived. It was a lavish property with an almost regal feel to it. And the Thompson family, surely, had no idea, that what would happen in their home would go on to become one of the biggest murder cases in Minnesota history. You’re listening to Murder in America.

There have been shows and podcasts made about The Wichita Horror, but usually people skimp out on the details of just what happened inside of that home in Wichita on that cold, December’s night. But we aren’t. We are going to tell you the FULL story, and I have to tell you guys, to everyone listening online, PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE WITH CAUTION. We are going to discuss some vile, disgusting, absolutely reprehensible things in this podcast, and this is NOT for the faint of heart.

In the year 2000, a single, brutal murder would change South Dakota forever.
Stories of serial killers oftentimes pique the interest of the public. However, sometimes it only takes a single crime to strike fear into the hearts of a population, and the brutality and depravity just one murder can be much more of a shocking event than the discovery of a serial killer. In Spearfish, South Dakota in the year 2000, the grisly torture and execution of innocent man Chester Poage did just that.
Warning, this episode contains descriptions of extremely violent and disturbing events. Listener discretion is advised.
