On a warm Friday evening in June, in the small town of Alma, Arkansas, 6-year-old Morgan Nick left the bleachers of a Little League baseball game to go catch fireflies with her friends. Her mother watched as she ran into the parking lot and played. Less than half an hour later, Morgan was gone. Two witnesses, ages 8 and 10, saw Morgan stop to get sand out of her shoes, while a man in a red truck watched. She hasn’t been seen since. What happened to Morgan Nick and where is she now?

Overview of the case in case you don’t know: On the night of June 7, 2021 Alex Murdaugh called 911 to report that he had come home to find his wife and son “shot badly.” His wife Maggie and son Paul were found dead on the family’s sprawling property named “Moselle.” They were found at the property kennels which were about ⅓ mile away from the main house. Both were shot multiple times; Paul was killed with a 12g shotgun and sustained 2 gunshot wounds: to his head and shoulder. This is gruesome but true- his brain was “blown out” of the right side of his head, completely severing his brain from his skull. Maggie was shot with a .300 Blackout AR-style rifle 5 times; through the left wrist, left thigh, her upper abdomen through the lower back, and a downward-trajectory shot to the right back of Maggie’s head. Alex Murdaugh has maintained his innocence since the murders and stood trial in early 2023. This episode recaps the trial and the verdict.

On the morning of July 10th, 1981, shots rang out in the small town of Skidmore, Missouri.  Outside of the D&G Tavern, the engine of a truck could be heard roaring to life, until it gave out, and eventually the engine blew.  In the truck was the body of Ken Rex McElroy, who was known in Skidmore as the “town bully.”  Incredibly, with dozens of people surrounding the truck when the shooting took place, there were no witnesses who could identify the shooter, or shooters, besides McElroy’s wife, who was in the truck beside him when he was shot. ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Murder - Rape of a Child / Child Abuse - Animal Abuse - Arson - Gun Violence - Vigilantism Hang with us: Follow Us on Instagram Like Us on Facebook Join our Case Discussion Group on Facebook Get Killer Queens Merch Bonus Episodes Support Our AMAZING Sponsors: Living Juice: Go to drinkinglivingjuice.com and use code KILLER20 at checkout for 20% off your first purchase!

From 1932 to 1934, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were perhaps the best-known outlaws in the United States.  It was during the Great Depression that Bonnie and Clyde rose to fame for their daring bank heists and Robin Hood-esque crimes.  Hollywood glamorized them as a young couple in love, but in their time on the run, they left a trail of death and destruction in their path and are believed to be responsible for the deaths of four civilians and nine police officers.  Their story came to an abrupt end at the hands of authorities in May of 1934, when they were only 23 and 25 years old.   ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Murder - Gun Violence - Robbery - Self Mutilation - Mentions of Sexual Assault Hang with us: Follow Us on Instagram Like Us on Facebook Join our Case Discussion Group on Facebook Get Killer Queens Merch Bonus Episodes Support Our AMAZING Sponsors: ZocDoc: Go to Zocdoc.com/QUEENS and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.
