Killer Songs - Thanks for Listening

Signing off. I am suspending the podcast. Thanks to everyone that listened. Stay safe.

The Man I Am - Paula Dietz

Sometimes, evil hides behind a smile, a church usher’s handshake, or a husband’s quiet nod across the breakfast table. This is the story of Paula Dietz — the wife of Dennis Rader, the man who called himself BTK. For thirty years, Paula believed she was married to a good man. A deacon. A father. A city employee who mowed the lawn every Saturday. But Dennis Rader wasn’t just the man she married. He was also Bind. Torture. Kill.   Please rate, review and share! Thanks so much.

Killer Songs - Snow on the Weeping Willow

Today, we’re not talking about a single murder, or a single victim. Today’s story is about devastation on a grand scale. It's about loss, not from a knife or a bullet, but from a little pill—the kind prescribed with a signature and a nod. This is the story of how West Virginia, a place of mountains, mines, and tight-knit communities, became ground zero in one of the deadliest drug epidemics in American history. Please rate, review and share Killer Songs. Tell everyone about the great music and stories you are finding here!   Thanks so much!

Madam LaLaurie - Never Said Goodbye

Madame Delphine LaLaurie was one of the most celebrated socialites in New Orleans Wealthy. Educated. Married to a respected physician. She hosted elaborate galas in her Creole mansion on Royal Street. But her house held a secret. A secret that would shake the city — and echo across centuries. On April 10, 1834, a fire broke out in the kitchen of the LaLaurie home. Neighbors rushed in to help. But what they discovered would become legend. This was not a house. It was a chamber of horrors. Savannah Weaver sings today's song, "Never Said Goodbye" Please remember to rate, review and share. Those five star reviews help people find the podcast.  Thank you for listening

Killer Songs - Lifeline

Today’s episode is a little different. This one isn’t about murder, scandal, or drama. It’s about something real. Something heavy. And something that doesn't get talked about enough. Every year, thousands of young men take their own lives. In many countries, suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 40. Not accidents. Not illness. Suicide. It’s a crisis hiding in plain sight. And the silence around it? It’s part of the problem. I’m not looking for villains today. This isn’t that kind of episode. This is for the ones who are still here. The ones who’ve struggled, or are struggling now. Or the ones who’ve lost someone — and don’t know what to do with the space they left behind. Today's song is a stark solo performance of a song called 'Lifeline.' Please rate, review and share with your friends. We will get back to something 'creepier' next week, but this one has been on my heart.
