The Morbid podcast dives into the infamous 1993 case of Lorena and John Bobbitt, a story that spiraled from domestic abuse and marital rape into national spectacle when Lorena severed John’s penis after years of physical, emotional, and sexual violence. What began as a tragic tale of survival became a media circus, reduced to punchlines and gender wars, overshadowing the real issues of domestic violence and trauma.
George Hassell, dubbed the 'family axeman,' was a serial killer in the early 20th century who murdered multiple families, including his own wife and stepchildren, in brutal fashion. His crimes, marked by manipulation, lies, and a chilling lack of remorse, culminated in a public trial and execution in the electric chair.
This episode of Morbid dives into two chilling tales of mass hysteria in British history: the Hammersmith Ghost panic of 1804, which ended in a tragic mistaken shooting, and the 1938 Halifax Slasher hoax, where public fear spiraled out of control due to fabricated attacks. Both stories highlight how fear, rumor, and groupthink can turn urban legends into deadly realities.
This episode delivers a comprehensive and harrowing account of the Green River Killer case, culminating in the arrest and confession of Gary Ridgway, the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history at the time. The payoff comes not just in his capture, but in the emotional reckoning of victims’ families and the chilling details of his crimes, exposing decades of investigative failures, systemic misogyny, and the eventual triumph of forensic science.
The podcast dives deep into the Green River Killer case, detailing a wave of gruesome discoveries in 1984, the task force's mounting frustration, and the bizarre yet chilling consultation with Ted Bundy, who offered surprisingly accurate insights while seeking a stay of execution. Despite the killer’s prolonged activity, the investigation struggled with jurisdictional issues, media scrutiny, and the challenge of identifying victims, many of whom were marginalized sex workers or runaways.
The episode continues the harrowing story of the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway, detailing the discovery of more victims, the failures of law enforcement to act on crucial leads, and the disturbing letter sent by the killer himself — all while highlighting the tragic marginalization of sex workers and the systemic failures that allowed a monster to kill unchecked for years.
This is the first part of a four-part series on the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway, one of the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history. The episode chronicles the early victims, the investigative missteps, and the societal indifference that allowed the murders to continue unchecked.
Blanche Taylor Moore, a woman who seemed like a sweet Southern matriarch, was revealed to be a serial poisoner who used arsenic to kill multiple men in her life — including her husband, boyfriend, and fiancé — all while maintaining a façade of piety and victimhood. After nearly killing her fiancé Dwight Moore with 20 times the lethal dose of arsenic, investigators uncovered a trail of suspicious deaths, leading to her conviction and a death sentence she’s still serving at age 93.
