The Minds Of Madness - True Crime Stories

Our homes are more than just physical structures; they’re our sanctuaries, providing a safe refuge from the outside world. But imagine if someone had meticulously written a 250-page manifesto, obsessively determined to breach that sanctuary? Someone so consumed with rage over a perceived wrongdoing from years earlier, that deadbolts and alarms would do nothing to stop him from carrying out his mission to exact revenge.

On the cold spring morning of April 19, 2020, a woman staggered from the woods outside Portapique Nova Scotia. Her bare feet were blackened from running through the woods, and she was covered in scrapes and bruises. She hammered on the door of a neighbor, who let her inside and called 911. She told police something had finally snapped in her abusive common-law partner Gabriel Wortman. But by the time she made that phone call, he’d already murdered 13 people and his rampage was far from over.

In May 2012, a man named Mick Philpott stepped up to the mic, at a small pub tucked away in a corner of Derby, England. Wearing a fedora and sunglasses, Mick picked up the microphone and waited for a few beats before belting out the legendary lyrics, "We're caught in a trap. I can't walk out." As Mick's wife giggled at the back of the pub, Mick poured himself into the Elvis song "Suspicious Minds" apparently unable to read the room. In the fairly tight-knit town, (where Mick was practically known by everyone), the seemingly harmless karaoke gig held a dark irony.

What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word “cult?”. That one word alone paints a picture of constant surveillance, suffocating conformity, and a community that hates to let anyone go. For some people caught up in cult-like circumstances, finding a way out can be a dangerous undertaking. But what if a cult was the source of where you found all your meaning, all your connections in life and it had been that way for years? In this scenario, finding yourself on the outside looking in, could be the real nightmare. That’s what happened to Stephen Mineo and Barbara Rogers when they crossed paths with Internet cult leader Sherry Shriner, a woman who weaponized a strange mythology of reptilians, clones, vampires, and demons against her own followers.

Warm under her blankets, still groggy from a sound sleep, the startling noise seemed like it could’ve been only one thing: the storm door. As Tara got out of bed to investigate, she noticed the lights still on in the basement, where her 24-year-old son, Shad Thyrion, had been hanging out for the last couple of days. But no one was down there now. As she headed back up the basement stairs, something strange suddenly caught her eye: a bucket with a beach towel draped over top.

In May 2009, two complete strangers met on a train traveling between Charleston, South Carolina and Washington D.C. The two strangers were both women, close in age, one was 28, the other 30.

This random act of kindness would take both women down a very dark and sinister path.

On a snowy January night in 2018, while most people were fast asleep and still enveloped in their post-holiday glow, the crack of a pistol shattered the silence of the frigid air. In a cozy little home in Stevenson, Alabama, a man had just been shot. Once. Twice. And then a third time before he fell. As he lay bleeding on the kitchen floor and as his shooter worked frantically to save his life, no one could be prepared for the harrowing events that were about to unfold.

Here’s a preview of a new podcast I think you’ll enjoy. Amid the nuclear threat of the Cold War, America's prized secrets were falling into the hands of its sworn enemy, the Kremlin. The FBI's hunt for the leak led to an astonishing discovery—the mole was one of its own, special agent Robert Hanssen. For two decades, Hanssen masqueraded as a devoted patriot while ruthlessly selling out his country, trading classified intelligence to the Soviet Union and later Russia, in exchange for cash and diamonds.  He was a whirlwind of contradictions—a self-proclaimed patriot and a traitor; a family man who sexually betrayed his wife; an ardent man of God and a sinner.  In this CBS News limited series, CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett delves into the shocking contradictions and life of Robert Hanssen, whose impact shaped U.S intelligence history. Listen to Agent of Betrayal: The Double Life of Robert Hanssen wherever you get your podcasts.
