In 2008, years of scams, lies, and greed would finally end in murder. In some ways, this con was your standard con involving an older man and a younger man, but that is where anything standard ends.

His death would be the first in a long line of heartaches and tragedies connected to Alex Murdaugh and his family. Was Stephen Smith's killing intentional, was he the victi…
One of the reasons I wanted to make this video focused on lesbian intimate partner murder is that the attention to intimate partner violence amongst LGBTQ folks is so underreported even academic research is only now being consistently collected. One of the most poorly covered groups is women in lesbian intimate partner murders. These are three stor…
What happens when you mix love and sex and the fear of exposure? It can sometimes result in murder. In this episode three cases of love turned to murder. On February 17th 2022, the twenty year olds Philadelphians, Naasire Johnson and Kylen Pratt’s secret relationship would end in murder. The brutality of the crime would leave loved ones bereft and …
This one of those cases that's a punctuation point for the use of the gay panic defense in law. The poor victim was sidelined as the defense did all they could to, if not justify the murder, contextualize it, which now and then seemed like a mission impossible. My heart goes out to Hajna. The 1962 acid murder of 25-year-old Hajna de Kaplany by her …
In the 1920s through the 1960s indecent proposals, indecent advances, and honor slayings were all buzzwords used to explain one man's rationale for killing another. The handsome singer Louis Kenneth Neu murdered two men for their clothes, their cars, their cash, and his honor. When 35-year-old Lawrence Shead didn't arrive for work his Patterson, Ne…
San Francisco resident 75-year-old James Sheahan had terminal cancer but that wouldn't be his cause of death.

In 1988, 55-year-old, Yale-educated Dr. Richard Boggs and business partners 46-year-old, Melvin Eugene Hanson, and 25-year-old John Hawkins joined together in an insurance scam that would net them a million dollars.

Thank you for joining me for, Intimate Partner Murders. Intimate partner and domestic violence have many of the same root causes as they do elsewhere.

For decades murders of gay men were happening on the cliffs of Bondi Beaches. Between 1970 and 2010 gay men were hunted, brutally attacked, and in some cases thrown to their deaths from the cliffs of cruising spots above the beautiful beaches of Sydney, Australia.

I choose these three cases for the things they have in common. All of them are unsolved or unresolved. None of the three cases are terribly well known and I wanted to share them with you. Howard Efland was a nurse who lived his life in the closet until he was murdered in a seedy downtown Los Angeles hotel. No one knew the murder of three men shot e…
Murder and financial crimes are rare but they do happen and when these crimes are coupled with the desire for love and intimacy they can be doubly complicated to escape. In this episode we’ll take a look at three men who were killed for their money. Jake Merendino thought he found a young handsome man who he could shower with gifts and affection. H…
For me one of the worst types of murder are those commmitted by a family member. In this episode six people, actually seven, murdered by the family. One of the reasons I wanted to compile this list was to illustrate that homophobic hate crimes can happen anywhere from the leafy green suburbs of Los Angeles county to a small town in Iran. A note: I …
Between 2010 and 2017 Bruce McArthur killed eight men in the city of Toronto. Despite the imploring of families and friends, despite two separate task forces looking into the missing men, it would take investigators nearly a decade to track a serial killer who had been arrested and detained for assaults and banned from Toronto’s Gay Village.

Stalking is a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.

One of the things I forgot to mention in this episode is my favorite idiom use of the zipper is Zip it. As in, "Hey, you with the face, zip it." A slang version of Shut-up. I've only used it in jest but it's pretty satisfying.By Reggie
