313: Every Time This Nurse Was On Shift, Someone's Heart Stopped...
On October 30th, 2018, the largest criminal trial in modern German history opened at the Weser-Ems-Hallen ballroom. Nurse Niels Högel, a prolific “Angel of Death,” stood accused of at least 100 murders. Early on in his career, he became addicted to inducing cardiac arrest so he could heroically rescue patients, leading to countless deaths. Niels had already stood in court three times at this point, but it seemed detectives were stuck in a horrifying maze, with new cases appearing around every corner after each trial. The true number of victims is still unknown to this day.SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSRocketMoney: https://www.rocketmoney.com/LIGHTSOUTLISTEN & FOLLOWSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3SfSNbkVrfz3ceXmNr0lZ4Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lights-out/id1505843600FOLLOW LIGHTS OUTTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lightsoutcastX / Twitter: http://twitter.com/lightsoutcastInstagram: http://instagram.com/lightsoutcastMERCH & TOPIC REQUESTSMerch: http://milehighermerch.com/Request a topic: https://zfrmz.com/Sp6vsxGQrNoHUfDzvGnNSuggestions/comments: lop@milehigher.comPodcast sponsor inquiries: adops@audioboom.comHOST: JOSHX / Twitter: http://twitter.com/milehigherjoshInstagram: http://instagram.com/milehigherjoshCO-HOST: IANInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifarme/EDITOR / PRODUCER: DANIELInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/horrororeoRESEARCH SOURCES & FURTHER READINGhttps://pastebin.com/1h3vd0hjABOUT THIS EPISODEThis episode presents the case of Niels Högel's murders for documentary discussion and critical commentary.

308: The Couple Behind Germany’s Most Terrifying House of Horrors
Over the course of 17 years, Wilfried and Angelika Wagener deliberately tortured several women in cruel and unusual ways, leading to the destruction of their livelihoods and the deaths of two. They were finally caught when they were driving the final victim home, and their car broke down, leading the taxi driver to call an ambulance to save her. The subsequent trial revealed years of abuse that exceeded the court’s expectations. It exposed institutional failures that let Wilfried go unmonitored after being put in jail for tormenting his first wife. This lack of surveillance led to Wilfried and Angelika continuing to torture other women in the most sadistic ways imaginable.RO - https://www.ro.co/LIGHTSOUTRocketMoney - https://www.rocketmoney.com/LIGHTSOUTFollow & Subscribe To The Show!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3SfSNbkVrfz3ceXmNr0lZ4Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lights-out/id1505843600Social Links:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lightsoutcastTwitter: http://twitter.com/lightsoutcastInstagram: http://instagram.com/lightsoutcastSuggestions/Comments: lop@milehigher.comMerch: http://milehighermerch.com/Request A Topic Form: https://zfrmz.com/Sp6vsxGQrNoHUfDzvGnNPodcast sponsor inquiries: adops@audioboom.comHost: JoshTwitter: http://twitter.com/milehigherjoshInstagram: http://instagram.com/milehigherjoshCo-Host: IanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifarme/Editor/Producer: DanielInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/horrororeoSources: https://pastebin.com/8kucCwzH
