episode The Iceman artwork

The Iceman

Richard Kuklinski was a contract killer who claimed to have murdered over 100 people during his 30-year career as a hitman for the mob. Known as "The Iceman" for his method of freezing victims' bodies to disguise their time of death, Kuklinski lived a double life as a seemingly devoted family man in suburban New Jersey while working as one of America's most prolific contract killers. He used an arsenal of methods—guns, knives, cyanide, explosives—and showed no remorse for his victims, treating murder as simply "business." His reign of terror finally ended in 1986 when an undercover sting operation caught him on tape negotiating a hit. This is the story of Richard Kuklinski—the family man who was secretly one of the most feared killers in organised crime.

Boss of Bosses: The Bloody Lunch That Changed the Mafia

July 12, 1979. Brooklyn, New York. Carmine Galante sat on the back patio of Joe and Mary's restaurant, finishing lunch with his cigar clenched between his teeth. At 69 years old, he controlled the heroin trade in New York City. He had built a drug empire worth millions through the French Connection. He had murdered at least 80 people over his career. And he had made a critical error: he declared himself "boss of bosses" and refused to share the profits. At 2:45pm, three men in ski masks walked through the restaurant. They raised shotguns. They opened fire. And Carmine Galante learned the ultimate lesson of organised crime: no one is untouchable. When police arrived, they found him sprawled in a tomato patch, his cigar still clenched in his teeth. The photograph would become one of the most infamous images in mafia history. This is the story of the heroin kingpin who rose from East Harlem street gangs to become one of America's most powerful mobsters, and the lunch that ended with betrayal, shotgun blasts, and a cigar that wouldn't go out.

The Baby in White Robes: The 42-Year Search for Holly Clouse

January 12, 1981. A dog wandered into the woods north of Houston and returned home carrying a decomposed human arm. Search parties found two bodies. A young man, bound and beaten to death. A young woman, strangled and posed in prayer. For 40 years, they remained unidentified. Buried in anonymous graves. Forgotten. Until genetic genealogy finally gave them their names: Harold Dean Clouse Junior, 21, and Tina Gail Linn Clouse, 17. A young couple from Florida who had moved to Texas with their one-year-old daughter, Holly. But when the families learned the truth, they asked one question investigators had never considered: where is the baby? No infant's body had been found with Dean and Tina. No Baby Doe cases matched. Had she been taken by the killers? Was she still alive? The search led to barefoot women in white robes, a nomadic religious cult called the Christ Family, and a baby left at an Arizona church. This is the story of a 42-year mystery, a daughter who grew up not knowing her own name, and a reunion that defied all odds.

episode The Man Who Walked Out: Death Row's Impossible Escape artwork

The Man Who Walked Out: Death Row's Impossible Escape

On November 3, 2005, Charles Victor Thompson did something no death row inmate had accomplished in the 21st century: he walked out the front door of Harris County Jail using a fake badge and civilian clothes. For 78 hours, one of Texas's most dangerous killers rode freight trains, posed as a Hurricane Katrina evacuee, and evaded a massive manhunt. But Thompson's story didn't start with his audacious escape. It began seven years earlier in a Tomball apartment, when he kicked down a door at 6am and opened fire on his ex-girlfriend and her new partner. One survived for a week on life support. The other died instantly. And 13-year-old Wade Hayslip, who had moved out five months earlier to escape the violence, got pulled out of science class to learn his mother was gone. This is the story of domestic violence, a death sentence, an impossible escape, and the execution that finally came 21 years later.

episode The Disappearance of Bobby Dunbar: artwork

The Disappearance of Bobby Dunbar:

In 1912, four-year-old Bobby Dunbar vanished beside Louisiana’s Swayze Lake. After eight desperate months, a child was found hundreds of miles away with a travelling handyman — and the Dunbars swore he was their son. The story became a national sensation: a miracle return, a family reunited, faith rewarded. But ninety years later, a simple DNA test exposed one of America’s most haunting cases of mistaken identity. This episode follows the Dunbar mystery from the muddy bayous of Opelousas to a 21st-century laboratory — uncovering a century-old lie, a mother who was never believed, and the family legend that outlived them all.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
