367. The Predator of East Harlem: Arohn Kee

367. The Predator of East Harlem: Arohn Kee

In January 1991, 13-year-old Paola Illera arrived home from school and stepped into the elevator of her East Harlem apartment building. She was only moments from her family's 30th-floor apartment, but she never made it upstairs. Hours later, her body was discovered miles from where she was last seen, launching an investigation that would haunt detectives for years. As fear spread through the neighborhood, investigators searched for answers in a case that seemed to offer few clues. Yet hidden among the evidence was a tiny trace that would eventually help uncover the truth. This week, we examine the murder of Paola Illera, the long hunt for her killer, and the string of crimes that terrorized East Harlem throughout the 1990s. Join us as we discuss: ‘The Predator of East Harlem: Arohn Kee’ on this week’s episode.  Listener discretion is by @octoberpodVHS All music is courtesy of our editing/ producing team @theinkypawprint Sources: https://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/21/nyregion/manhattan-man-guilty-in-rape-and-murder-spree.html [https://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/21/nyregion/manhattan-man-guilty-in-rape-and-murder-spree.html] http://www.robertkellerauthor.com/2015/06/serial-killers-arohn-kee.html https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/homicide-york-arohn-kee-caught-161226887.html https://www.imdb.com/news/ni64506425/ [https://www.imdb.com/news/ni64506425/] https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2024/03/26/homicide-new-york-is-netflixs-third-most-watched-show-what-to-know-about-the-true-crime-series/ [https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2024/03/26/homicide-new-york-is-netflixs-third-most-watched-show-what-to-know-about-the-true-crime-series/] https://skdb.fandom.com/wiki/KEE_Arohn_Malik [https://skdb.fandom.com/wiki/KEE_Arohn_Malik] https://nypost.com/2004/08/13/killer-is-nailed-94-rape/ https://www.dnaindia.com/world/report-jailed-rapist-selling-tales-of-his-crime-on-the-internet-1265100 [https://www.dnaindia.com/world/report-jailed-rapist-selling-tales-of-his-crime-on-the-internet-1265100] https://murderpedia.org/male.K/k/kee-arohn.htm [https://murderpedia.org/male.K/k/kee-arohn.htm] https://www.amazon.com/True-Crime-American-Monsters-Horrific/dp/1535162287 https://www.nytimes.com/2001/01/27/nyregion/rage-and-taunts-fill-courtroom-as-a-killer-gets-life-in-prison.html [https://www.nytimes.com/2001/01/27/nyregion/rage-and-taunts-fill-courtroom-as-a-killer-gets-life-in-prison.html] https://crimelibrary.org/serial_killers/predators/mbb205_arohn_kee/ [https://crimelibrary.org/serial_killers/predators/mbb205_arohn_kee/] https://www.nydailynews.com/2000/12/14/rape-slay-defendant-denies-guilt-on-stand/ https://www.justice.gov/archive/ag/speeches/2003/031102dnaremarks.htm [https://www.justice.gov/archive/ag/speeches/2003/031102dnaremarks.htm] https://nypost.com/2004/08/13/evil-serial-killer-nailed-for-vicious-1994-rape/ All music is by our editing/ producer team @theinkypawprint https://www.nytimes.com/1999/02/20/nyregion/murder-suspect-found-with-missing-girl.html Learn more about your ad choices.

An Unholy Act: Elizabeth Mackintosh

Thank you to Kimberly for the request. Creve Coeur, Missouri, is known for its affluent, charmed lifestyle. It's a kind of safe, quiet suburb where nothing bad ever happens. But in French, Creve Coeur translates to “broken heart,” and thirty-five years ago, that translation became a brutal reality for the family of Elizabeth Mackintosh. Elizabeth was a brilliant, fiercely independent, and strong-willed 50-year-old nurse from the Scottish Highlands who moved across the world to attend the prestigious Covenant Theological Seminary. She was just weeks away from graduation when her life was violently cut short. On Monday, March 26, 1990, Elizabeth unlocked the campus chapel at 4:00 AM for her routine cleaning shift. By 7:20 AM, she was found dead inside a restroom. The brutality of the attack shocked the community and baffled investigators. Join Jen and Cam as they discuss "An Unholy Act: Elizabeth Mackintosh."

363. The Disappearance That Brought Down a Criminal Empire: Breanna Taylor

This week’s episode is a little different. Instead of focusing on a single crime, we're diving into an entire criminal organization, one built on loyalty, fear, violence, and an unbreakable code of silence. It all begins with the disappearance of 19-year-old Breanna Taylor from a quiet Ohio suburb in 2006. At first, her case seemed like another missing-person investigation. But as detectives dug deeper, they uncovered something far more disturbing: a sprawling white supremacist criminal enterprise operating in plain sight. What started as a search for one missing young woman would eventually expose a network of murder, drug trafficking, racketeering, and corruption, and lead to what federal prosecutors called the largest white supremacist racketeering case in American history. Join Cam and Jen as we discuss 'The Disappearance That Brought Down a Criminal Empire: Breanna Taylor.'
