EP. 242 - ARIZONA: Three Serial Killers, One City: Phoenix’s Summers of Terror Part 2 (The Baseline Killer & Serial Shooters)

Part 2 of this series brings us to the unmasking of the Baseline Killer, a man who terrorized Phoenix for over a year. His name was Mark Goudeau. A father. A husband. A hardworking member of the community. But beneath it all, he was the monster stalking the streets. As 2005 turned to 2006, his thirst for murder and violence only grew, and police knew they had to stop him before it was too late.  - Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb] Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl [https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl] -Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844] -Amazon/Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files] -Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101 [https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101] -iHeart - https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/ [https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/] -PocketCast - https://pca.st/dpdyrcca [https://pca.st/dpdyrcca] -CastBox - https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us [https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us] - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701 [https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701] If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica [https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica] Instagram: https://instagram.com/murderinamerica/http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/ [http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/] Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/ [https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/] Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica [https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles [https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles] and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen [https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen] Feeling spooky?

EP. 241 - ARIZONA: Three Serial Killers, One City: Phoenix’s Summers of Terror Part 1 (The Baseline Killer & Serial Shooters)

They were known as the Summers of Terror. From 2005 to 2006, Phoenix, Arizona, lived in a state of permanent dread. People and pets were being shot in the streets at random. Women and children were pulled into dark alleys and assaulted. In part 1 of this 2-part series, we’ll dive into the attacks that kicked off a year of chaos, violence, and mystery, which left the police department scrambling for answers. They may not have known their killer, but they knew one thing for certain: He would strike again. And again. And again.  - Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb] Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl [https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl] -Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844] -Amazon/Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files] -Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101 [https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101] -iHeart - https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/ [https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/] -PocketCast - https://pca.st/dpdyrcca [https://pca.st/dpdyrcca] -CastBox - https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us [https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us] - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701 [https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701] If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica [https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica] Instagram: https://instagram.com/murderinamerica/http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/ [http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/] Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/ [https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/] Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica [https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles [https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles] and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen [https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen] Feeling spooky?

EP. 240 - FLORIDA: ABUSED AND KILLED BY HER OWN FATHER: THE SYSTEM FAILED 12-YEAR-OLD LORI PAIGE

There were signs that things were not right at home for 12-year-old Lori Paige. Not just tiny ones: blazing red flags that followed her all her life. She came to school without shoes. She was hit with a belt in front of her classmates. She cried to friends and teachers, saying she couldn’t take the abuse any longer. And then… she vanished. What followed was an investigation that came far too late—one that revealed sexual abuse, violence, and cruelty at the hands of the person who was supposed to care for her most: her father.

EP 239 - TEXAS: THE MAN WHO ESCAPED DEATH ROW: MURDERER CHARLES VICTOR THOMPSON

On April 29th, 1998, Houston Police dragged Charles Victor Thompson out of his ex-girlfriend’s apartment, where he had started a fight with her new boyfriend. Charles was a jealous man, a drunk man, but the police didn’t think he was a killer. At least, not for another 3 hours. What began as a jealous feud spiraled into murder, and from there, into one of the most shocking cases in Texas history: where a death row inmate escaped from prison and proved that he wasn’t done wreaking havoc. Not yet. - Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb] Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl [https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl] -Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844] -Amazon/Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files] -Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101 [https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101] -iHeart - https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/ [https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/] -PocketCast - https://pca.st/dpdyrcca [https://pca.st/dpdyrcca] -CastBox - https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us [https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us] - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701 [https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701] If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica [https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica] Instagram: https://instagram.com/murderinamerica/http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/ [http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/] Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/ [https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/] Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica [https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles [https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles] and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen [https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen] Feeling spooky?
