Cafe Macabre

This week's episode is very special. The death of Kurt Cobain shocked the world in April 1994, but it may not be as it seems. Was it truly a suicide? Or were more nefarious things at play? Join me, and my special guest Damian, to discuss all the controversy and intrigue surrounding this musician's tragic death.

Forget torture and murder, this week's true crime case is about...aliens? Heaven's Gate was a pseudo-Christian religious cult that believed heaven could be found quite literally, in space. 39 people lost their lives in what would be, and remains to this day, the largest mass suicide on U.S. soil. Bizarre doesn't even begin to cover this true crime case.
