Wicked and Grim: A True Crime Podcast

Joachim Kroll - The Ruhr Cannibal -Part 1

For more than twenty years, Joachim Kroll operated undetected across western Germany, murdering women and children while investigators struggled to connect the crimes. During that time, multiple innocent people were accused, several took their own lives under the weight of suspicion, and dozens of detectives unknowingly searched for the wrong man.In this episode, we examine the full story of Joachim Kroll, known as the Ruhr Cannibal. From his first known murder in 1955 to the shocking discovery that finally exposed him in 1976, we follow the investigation, the victims, the wrongful accusations, and the mistakes that allowed one of Germany's most notorious serial killers to evade capture for more than two decades.

The Killdozer - Marvin Heemeyer

For nearly two hours on June 4, 2004, police officers, state troopers, and emergency responders watched helplessly as an armored bulldozer tore through the small mountain town of Granby, Colorado. Inside the machine was 52 year old Marvin Heemeyer, a welder and muffler shop owner who had spent years feuding with local officials, business owners, and members of the community before transforming a 49 ton Komatsu bulldozer into an improvised tank. What followed was a trail of destruction that flattened businesses, damaged public buildings, threatened lives, and ultimately turned a local zoning dispute into one of the most infamous acts of revenge in American history.

The Murder of Arlis Perry - Cold Case Solved

In October 1974, nineteen year old Arlis Perry walked into Stanford Memorial Church and never came home.

The Sasebo Slashing - Nevada-tan

In June 2004, a routine school day in Sasebo, Japan, ended in tragedy when 12 year old Satomi Mitarai was lured from her classroom and murdered by her classmate with a box cutter. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a friendship that had quietly fallen apart and evidence suggesting the attack had been building beneath the surface for days. What began as a shocking murder inside an elementary school would soon become one of the most infamous juvenile crime cases in Japanese history, raising difficult questions about childhood, bullying, and internet culture, while ultimately giving rise to the disturbing online phenomenon known as Nevada-tan.

Kathleen Marshall - The Cat Queen Murder

In March 1998, a respected Brisbane veterinarian was found brutally murdered inside the veterinary clinic beneath her home, launching an investigation that would expose bitter feuds within an animal welfare organization, a mysterious appointment involving a missing Siamese cat, and a trail of forensic evidence unlike anything Australian courts had seen before. As detectives worked to identify Kathleen Marshall's killer, the case slowly evolved from a shocking homicide into a landmark criminal investigation that would make legal history. Yet, more than two decades later, questions surrounding the murder, the evidence, and the man ultimately convicted continue to spark debate among investigators, scientists, and true crime researchers.
