Killer Queens: A True Crime Podcast

Part 2 of 2: On January 13th, 1999, 18-year-old high school senior, Hae Min Lee was reported missing by her family. She’d been leaving school that day, but had never arrived to pick up her younger cousin from school. In the time span of less than 30 minutes it seemed, the young woman had vanished. Less than a month later, Hae’s body was found in a park, partially buried. She had been strangled to death. The investigation that ensued resulted in Hae’s ex-boyfriend, 17-year-old Adnan Syed, being convicted of her murder and sentenced to life in prison. However, after a judge recently ruled that the prosecution had failed to turn over evidence that could’ve altered the jury’s verdict, Adnan’s sentence was vacated. Shortly after, the state dropped the charges against him. Was Adnan Syed wrongly convicted? Was his counsel ineffective or was he truly proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?

On Friday, February 24th, 1978, five young men left their homes to head to a basketball game at Chico State in Chico, California. This was the boys’ favorite team and they had a basketball tournament they were playing in themselves the next day. They were known as the Gateway Gators and were competing in the Special Olympics. The game ended and the boys’ favorite team won. They left the school and stopped at a nearby service station to grab snacks before the hour drive home together. Unfortunately, the young men never made it home. Months later, remains were found in the mountains of the Plumas National Forest. The young men, rather than continue south down the interstate, in a straight shot to their hometown, had veered east and continued in the wrong direction for quite some distance. Their car was found abandoned. Four of the young men were found dead. People assumed that because four of the young men were described as “slow” or mentally disabled, they’d just gotten lost, but their families knew better. They still, to this day, believe that the young men were victims of foul play. With one man still missing, there are no answers to this case, only theories and rumors. What happened to the Yuba County Five? TRIGGER WARNINGS: outdated terminology for intellectually and developmentally disabled, that can be considered offensive now (these words were used to describe the men at the time when it was more acceptable).

Larry Hall is a murderer, rapist, and suspected serial killer.  Authorities believe that Hall was active throughout the 80s and into the early 90s.  Hall was arrested in 1994, and eventually confessed to kidnapping 15 year old Jessica Roach.  Although Jessica Roach had been abducted and murdered, Hall didn’t confess to murdering her.  While waiting for an appeal to his conviction, the FBI feared that Hall might be released and reached out to another prisoner, James Keene, and sent him undercover to try to obtain a confession from Hall.

In late August 1990, Gainesville, Florida fell victim to a serial killer. Over the span of less than a week, five college students were brutally murdered in their homes. Police couldn’t figure out who was behind the gruesome attacks and the Gainesville community was absolutely terrified. Doors were triple locked and roommates were sleeping in shifts. A suspect was jailed, but the DNA didn’t match. Meanwhile, a man was jailed in Ocala, Florida, the suspect of multiple armed robberies. Two completely different types of crimes, and no one suspected that that robberies and the murders were committed by the same person. To their suprise, they were wrong, and the man responsible for the Gainesville murders and countless armed robberies, was actually already in prison. Unbeknownst to detectives though, Danny Rolling’s murders in Gainesville weren’t his first. Rolling had killed before he’d even entered the state of Florida, annihilating an entire family, all before he was fearfully dubbed the Gainesville Ripper.

On January 21st, 2006, Priscilla Materazzo called the local police. She couldn’t get in touch with her daughter, Rachel Entwistle or her son-in-law Neil. The couple had a 9-month-old baby named Lily, so Priscilla was growing increasingly concerned. She’d been to their house, with no answer. A family friend also stopped by the Entwistle home for a scheduled dinner, but there was no sign of the family anywhere. Police did a quick search of the house, but found nothing out of the ordinary. The next day, Priscilla filed an official missing persons report on her daughter and her family. Police returned to the house for a further search, when they noticed a smell coming from the master bedroom. Under the covers, they found the deceased bodies of 27-year-old Rachel and her baby, Lily. Neil was nowhere to be found. Had Rachel murdered her own child, then turned the gun on herself, in a deep state of postpartum depression or had Neil Entwistle fled the home after brutally murdering his family?

On a Saturday morning in February of 2002, Brenda and Damon Van Dam cooked breakfast in their San Diego home for themselves and their three children. Both of their boys came downstairs to eat, but their daughter didn’t. When Brenda walked upstairs to her bedroom, she found her seven-year-old daughter’s bed empty. Danielle Van Dam was gone. Less than a month later, her decomposed remains were found on a rural road. Because of the advanced stage of decomposition, they were unable to determine what her cause of death was. Even though they didn’t have all of the answers, police had already arrested a man for Danielle’s murder before her body was even found. Despite DNA evidence linking Danielle to the man’s house and RV, many still speculated that the Van Dam parents’ “wild” lifestyle led to their daughter’s kidnapping and murder. Was Danielle the victim of a pre-planned abduction by a neighbor or did her mom and dad’s partying lead to her death?
