In the early morning hours of June 2, 2009 a thunderstorm broke the constant quiet that existed in the Amish community of Apple Creek, OH. Inside the well kept two story white house the occupants slept fretfully because of the storm. What they did not know was that the loud noises outside were nothing compared to the danger that had sneaked its way inside. A figure walked its way through the unlocked house and down the hall to the main bedroom. They readied themselves to shoot the rifle they had brought with them. Temporarily they were illuminated by a bright flash of lighting and as a thunderclap roared its way through the house they fired the gun. The children slept on none the wiser that their lives had just been shattered by the murder of their mother. Sources:Olsen, Gregg, and Rebecca Morris.

Detective Scott Day had been on the Edmond Police Force for just about 20 years. Close to his retirement, he could reflect back on his career and be proud of the work that he had done…all except for that one case from 18 years prior. He had been a rookie officer then, and the first to respond to the scene of a murder and a violent sexual assault. The case had gone unsolved and haunted the community. It was something that he thought about often. The house, the details, he could see the only survivor standing in the doorway of the house battered and covered in blood sobbing as he ran to her. That’s why it was odd that there he was in 2004 and he stood again in front of a brick house with a large bush in front of a window on a suburban street. It was like deja vu….he got his bearings and looked around. He was actually only steps away from the house he responded to back in 1986.

In 1995 detectives from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Department had a witness who saw the man that brutally murdered a mother of two in her hair salon. They had another witness that saw the vehicle he had most likely been driving, and to the credit of one very diligent criminalist, they had his DNA…but for an infuriating ten years the murderer of Dana Satterfield would evade them allowing him to wreak havoc on the women in his life. That is until 2005 when the guilt got the better of one final witness.

On the night of March 23, 1997 a 911 call came in from a 16 year old boy who stated that he had come home that night to find his father murdered in the living room. He was unsure if the other members of his family were alive because he had left the home in fear. When police responded they found four members of the Hunt and Duke family brutally murdered.

Cult leaders, with their charisma and allure, always wield a captivating influence over the individuals who become their devoted followers.

Located in the northwest corner of King County in Washington State, Richmond Beach was a neighborhood in the city of Shoreline. The driftwood scattered beaches of the Richmond Beach Saltwater Park created that quintessential northwest waterscape. In the 1970s, when the case took place, Shoreline was a world away from the hustle and bustle of Seattle, located just 35 miles south. It was a tight night community where everyone knew everyone and the residents of the town slept with their windows open allowing the cool breeze from the Puget sound to wash over them as they slept. But on Valentine’s Day 1975 the coastal community would be shaken to its core when a teenage girl is murdered just feet from the safety of her house.

Join us for a new bunch of terrifying listener stories...

The story I have for you today will be, just as they always are, hard to get through, especially because it involves a child. Just around Halloween in 1992 a vicious crime would shock the blue collar town of Oil City, PA, changing it forever. In fact, the town would put a ban on night time trick or treating for 16 years after the case I am about to tell you, and even now the time is restricted to not go past 8 PM. Halloween is a time of great excitement for children. It is electric in the air, kids playing innocent pranks, mischief nights, talking about what they are going to dress up as, and of course, the promise of mounds and mounds of candy after trick or treating. But lurking beneath all that fun is a terrifying truth, something the good people of Oil City had to learn the hard way, that monsters are real, and sometimes they are the ones you least expect.Patreon.com/truecrimecoupleSources:https://law.justia.com/cases/pennsylvania/superior-court/2013/1266-wda-2012.htmlhttps://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/pa/oil-city/KDUJ/date/1992-10-27https://www.leagle.com/decision/inpaco20130722469https://www.thederrick.com/ (Archives)Lake Erie Murders (2018) Devil at the Crossroadshttps://oig.justice.gov/reports/FBI/a0632/intro.htm#:~:text=CODIS%20Development%20and%20Design&text=CODIS%20began%20as%20a%20pilot,NDIS%20became%20operational%20in%201998.Google Maps LocationCheck out the Murder Diaries Podcast!
