  • Episode 110: Ronald Gene Simmons and the Mockingbird Hill Massacre
    Jul 16 2025

    Ladies and gentlemen, we must warn you, the story you are about to hear is one of the most disgusting and horrible in the history of true crime, a tale so foul and loathsome that it is often shunned and is little known, despite the fact that sixteen innocent people lost their lives.

    It is a story of savage manipulation and abuse, incest, family annihilation and spree killing, including one of the most horrifying acts of domestic violence ever recorded in American history.

    Please be prepared, and forewarned, as we tell you the story of the horrible Ronald Gene Simmons and the Mockingbird Hill Massacre.

  • Episode 109: Randall Woodfield the I-5 Killer
    Jul 9 2025

    Randall Woodfield was many things to many people: a star athlete and high school jock who was drafted into the NFL and played for the Green Bay Packers, a devout Christian involved in prayer groups and fellowships, an all-American son and brother, a charming and good-looking guy who sought to model in Play Girl Magazine.

    He was also a sexual sadist, a thief, a rapist, a necrophiliac and psychopathic serial killer.

    Despite these many contrasting personas, he is now known to history under one name: the 1-5 Killer.

    In 1980 and 1981 Randy Woodfield terrorized residents of Washington, California and Oregon as he roamed an 800 mile stretch of a highway on a horrible spree of robbery, rape and murder, he is linked to 18 murders and is suspected of killing as many as 44 women.

    Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the savage and horrible story of Randy Woodfield, the dreaded and disgusting 1-5 Killer.
