Murder, My Dude

Take a look, it's in a book: Murder, My Dude! We're taking a look at the Stephen King book so controversial, that the legendary author removed it from store shelves. Rage was originally published under a pseudonym, and it inspired a series of horrendous crimes (mostly in Kentucky, for some reason). This week, we explore those stories! BUT FIRST! This Week in Murder exp

Murder, My Dude returns to Episode 168! (or is it 169?) Dorothy Stratten was not only one of the top playmates for Playboy Magazine in 1980, but she was also seemingly poised for crossover superstardom in Hollywood, where she drew the attention of one director in particular… By the end of the year, she was brutally murdered before her 21st birthday. In this episode, we explore

Murder, My Dude returns for the 167th (and possibly final?) time! In the Winter of 2013, LAPD officers and police in surrounding areas found themselves the targets of a rampaging killer hell-bent on getting even for what he thought was a broken system that had victimized him and cost him his livelihood. Christopher Dorner was a vigilante with a twisted set of targets who targeted

It’s September, and back to school season is in full swing on Murder, My Dude! While that usually means homework and recess for most people, for us, it means school bus accidents and one of the most sinister killer’s we’ve ever covered. Andrei Chikatilo’s life was a Stalinist horror story, with an upbringing dominated by birth defects, intentional famines, and World War I

This week’s feature is a rough one, given the age of one of the victims and how preventable his death was. 20 years after his tragic killing, we look at both the murder of one-year-old Zachary Turner as well as the killing of his father, Andrew Bagby. We also explore the tireless efforts of Andrew’s friends and family to make sure that their deaths resulted in reform to help

It may be August, but Murder, My Dude is thinking cool thoughts! If you’ve watched your share of late night HBO in the 90s or 2000s, you may already be a little familiar with the story of Richard “The Iceman” Kulkinski, the self-professed hitman who seemed to love killing more than anything (with the possible exception of talking about killing). How many of The Iceman’s t

No, it’s not a shameless effort to court Red Hot Chili Peppers fans, this week, we venture North to explore a Canadian true crime case that left the nation fearing for (or just straight up fearing) their youth in the mid/late 1990s. What happened to Reena Virk was every parent’s worst nightmare, and the ensuing legal wrangling is a case study in both the flaws of criminal jus

It’s a day full of fun and fireworks, and to celebrate the 4th of July, we’re releasing this week’s episode a few days early! And in our very special Independence Day episode, we’re going to look at not one, not two, but THREE stories of historical American Murders: the first known murderer in the colonies that would become the United States, an infamous massacre that he

Yeah, Father’s Day was almost a week ago, but in the spirit of, “better late than never,” Murder, My Dude is going to celebrate it the only way we know how: the worst way humanly possible! When most people think of killing one’s parents, the name that springs into mind immediately is Menendez. Even by their own testimony, Lyle and Erik Menendez shot their parents 15 times

It’s another of our tentpole episodes of the year this week: our 4th rendition of Pride, My Dude! And in this episode, we travel to our CONFIRMED SECOND BIGGEST MARKET!!! In the glorious, wonderful, please recommend the podcast to a friend United Kingdom, where we’ll explore the notorious Grindr (and Fitlad and Sleepyboy) Killer, who exploited questionable policework and kille
