Morbid

Hey you beautiful weirdos! We wanted to release the first episode of Scream! for you special ghouls to chew on.

This week we are diving into a horrific fellow and the three murders attributed to him. Alaina gives us the gory details of all three murders, which some people think may not have all been committed by the same person. We’ll talk through the possible suspects, motives and idiosyncrasies of the man coined Bible John.

This week Alaina is diving into the Peter Tobin case! Peter Tobin, who was also known as Patrick McLaughlin, James Kelley and many other names, may have killed as many as 48. He was sentenced to life in prison and when he told investigators how many he’d killed he followed it up with “figure it out” and grinned. Lots to unpack here, and it will lead us into our next episode about Bible John, who may have actually been Peter Tobin.  https://www.the-sun.com/news/195354/serial-killer-peter-tobin-72-on-his-death-bed-weighing-just-five-stone-and-barely-eating-after-cancer-diagnosis/ https://www.scotsman.com/news/crime/who-did-peter-tobin-kill-and-was-he-bible-john-former-lead-detective-david-swindle-why-serial-killer-case-not-cold-yet-1403956 As always, thank you to our sponsors  Upstart: See why Upstart has a 4.9 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot and hurry to Upstart.com/morbid to find out HOW LOW your Upstart rate can be Thrive Market: Go to Thrive Market.com/MORBID Join today and you’ll get a FREE gift of your choosing, up to $24 dollars in value.

In 1933 The Papin sisters brutally murdered two members of the family that they worked for, for seven years. After Christine and Lea’s troubled childhood, they went to work for the Lancelin family and grew very close with each other, we all know how that “us against the world” thing goes. One February evening, things went very wrong, and would eventually lead to a debate of Folie a deux vs pure evil.

This week's mini morbid is Ash-centric and way harsh, Ty. We’re looking into the death of actress, Brittany Murphy. Did she simply die of natural causes or did the husband do it? Brittany collapsed in her home on Dec 20, 2009 and the details surrounding the case have always struck us as strange, secretive and quite frankly, dark. Something leaves us with a bad taste in our mouths here. As always, thank you to our sponsors: Best Fiends: With over 100 million downloads and tons of five-star reviews, Best Fiends is a must-play!
