The Psychopath Who Confessed 40 Murders Live

Wendy Lizeth Ochoa: the murder that occurred after multiple ignored reports

The mother who cried: nine days of lies: The infanticide of Michael and Alexander Smith A mother appears crying before national cameras asking for the return of her children. The red traffic light where she claims the kidnapping occurred only changes if another car crosses. Nine days later, she confesses to having drowned them in her own vehicle. In this episode, we explore the contradictions that dismantled the most publicized alibi of 1994: the impossible traffic light that registered no traffic, the rejection letter that triggered the motive, and how a lie detector and forensic rescue revealed the truth at the bottom of John D. Long Lake. How does a mother plan a stereotypical alibi while appearing to show genuine desperation? Victim: Michael Smith (3 years) and Alexander Smith (14 months) Date: October 25, 1994 Location: John D. Long Lake, Union, South Carolina Status: Life imprisonment; possible parole in 2025 - The red traffic light where Susan claimed to be stopped only activates in front of another perpendicular vehicle; no cars were recorded that night. - The letter from Tom Findley, rejecting a relationship because "I do not wish to have children," was found as evidence of the motive days after the crime. - Michael's hand pressed against the interior glass of the submerged car was photographed by divers during the forensic rescue. - Susan actively constructed two false alibis: a trip to the supermarket and a meeting with a friend; both collapsed during the investigation.

The Psychopath Who Confessed 40 Murders Live

Plumber Discovers Leak and Finds Six Bodies Dismembered Inside Apartment: The serial murders of Novokuznetsk, 1996 A plumber detecting water damage in a Siberia apartment building uncovers something no one expected: human remains, a chained survivor, and evidence of systematic torture. The killer had been free for two years while psychiatric records claimed he was hospitalized thousands of kilometers away. This case of administrative collapse and invisible victims exposes how a serial killer operated in plain sight while the system failed at every level. In this episode, we explore the investigative chaos that surrounded the discovery: multiple false suspects, dismembered remains found floating in the Kabá River, and the impossibility of identifying how many victims actually existed. How did Alexander Spesivtsev escape psychiatric supervision, and why did his mother's role as deliberate accomplice remain legally ambiguous throughout the trial? Victim: Olga Galtseva (age 15), Nastia (age 13), Xenia (age 13), and others Date: 1996, Novokuznetsk, Russia Location: Apartment 357, Pionerskaya Street, Novokuznetsk, Western Siberia Status: Convicted (Alexander Spesivtsev and Liudmila Spesivtseva) - The psychiatric hospital 2,000 kilometers away never reported that Alexander Spesivtsev had been discharged in 1994, leaving him unmonitored and off medication for two years. - Neighbors filed formal complaints about odors and water leaks from apartment 357, but police never responded or investigated. - Eighty-two pieces of teenage clothing were stacked in the apartment, suggesting far more victims than the nineteen initially confessed to. - Olga Galtseva survived long enough to give testimony about Liudmila's role as the lure and the dog killing her cellmate, then died hours after her statement.

The Killer Who Won a Television Dating Show

Killer Laughs on Live Television While Confessing to Forty Murders: The Serial Murders of Nairobi Muñoz and Martha Delgado October 10, 2009, in Sucre, Bolivia. Two university students vanish into a vehicle with two unknown men and are found the next morning mutilated beyond recognition-faces slashed, skulls crushed, one victim missing her nose. Yet the autopsy reveals no sexual assault, contradicting everything police believed about the crime's motive. Exploring this investigation uncovers a chilling pattern: how Jaime Cárdenas Pardo murdered for years with impunity by bribing officers, how he escaped from prison after conviction, and how his televised confession revealed something darker than any court sentence could capture. The central mystery: he was convicted of three murders, but claimed forty-and authorities only opened investigations into eight more, leaving the true victim count unknown. Victim: Nairobi Muñoz, Martha Delgado Date: October 10, 2009 Location: Sucre and La Paz, Bolivia Status: Convicted; currently imprisoned - Cárdenas confessed to over forty murders on television while laughing and using sarcasm about his victims - He was convicted of only three murders, leaving a gap of unverified deaths and unnamed victims - A four-year-old boy, son of his accomplice, was murdered by hitmen seeking revenge for the university students - He escaped prison in March 2012 and remained free for thirty-four days before recapture via a photograph Jaime Cárdenas Pardo, Sucre Bolivia serial killer 2009, antisocial personality disorder hedonistic psychopath, criminal investigation homicide, unsolved murders forensic evidence, true crime English To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

Susan Smith: the mother who faked a kidnapping after having killed her children

Three chained women: the invisible decade of Ariel Castro: The serial kidnapping of Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesús A hand emerging through the crack of a door after ten years in captivity. A school bus driver operating in the shadows of a residential neighborhood, keeping three chained lives while participating in search vigils. The question that haunts this case: how did an ordinary man manage to keep the darkest secret for a decade without a single neighbor believing what their ears heard? In this episode, we explore the architecture of confinement: how Ariel Castro premeditated locks in the basement and attic years before the kidnappings, how he selected victims without safety nets (Michelle without a formal report, Amanda on her seventeenth birthday, Gina deceived with the name of her own daughter), and how Amanda's coded notebook recorded up to five assaults in a single day. The central tension remains unresolved: why did investigators not connect the search volunteer with the predator living two houses away? Victims: Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesús Date: August 2002 - May 6, 2013 Location: Cleveland, Ohio, United States Status: Closed - Life sentence (September 3, 2013, suicide in prison) - Michelle Knight was kidnapped without a formal report because her family assumed she left voluntarily to avoid losing custody of her son. - Amanda Berry received a single call from her own phone days after her abduction: a male voice announcing a fictitious marriage; it was the last recorded information in the FBI about her for eleven years. - Castro volunteered in the organized searches for Gina DeJesús while she was chained in his basement, using the name of his own daughter to deceive her. - More than two hundred seized items corroborated systematic torture; Michelle suffered five forced abortions after being kicked in the abdomen; Jocelyn was born without medical assistance.

Ariel Castro: ten years of captivity in an ordinary house without effective intervention

The Mother Who Tortured for Nine Years Without Conviction: The Murder of Susan and Sheila by Teresa Cross A mother shot, stabbed, and burned her own daughters alive in Sacramento. For nine years, authorities ignored the cries of a survivor. The system that absolved her of murder in 1964 would fail again decades later, until a television program exposed what no one wanted to see. In this episode, we explore how Teresa Cross kept her children as forced accomplices, how two unidentified bodies remained archived while one daughter pleaded for justice, and why a confession from her own son was necessary to unleash the final downfall of a serial killer operating in broad daylight. Victim: Susan and Sheila Cross Date: 1984-1985 Location: Orangeville and Sacramento, California Status: Sentenced to two life terms (1995) - Teresa shot her first husband in the back in 1964 and was acquitted; the system taught her that dramatic victimization works. - Susan was stabbed, burned alive, and her body was found charred nine years later, classified as Jane Doe. - Sheila died locked in a closet without water or food; that closet survived the fire Teresa ordered to destroy evidence. - Terry reported to the police in 1992 and was dismissed as a liar; in 1993, she saw her dead sister on television and called America's Most Wanted.
