Killer Queens: A True Crime Podcast

TRIGGER WARNINGS: child abuse/murder/kidnapping On December 11th, 1994, a security guard at the Wonderland shopping mall in Livonia, Michigan called the local police to alert them that they had a missing child. Four-year-old D’Wan Sims was reported missing by his mother, who said he was walking behind her, and when she looked back, he was gone. The immediate search did not find the little boy, however police did find that the mother’s story about what happened did not match up with video surveillance footage. Was D’Wan abducted by a stranger and snuck out of the mall without being seen on any surveillance footage, or was D’Wan even ever in the mall that day?

On a rainy October afternoon in the small town of Potsdam, New York, a young woman called 911 to tell them that she heard some odd noises coming from the apartment across from hers. The noises sounded like a child in danger. When an officer finally arrived, he heard footsteps inside and the sound of the door’s lock clicking when he knocked. When he finally gained access, the officer found 12-year-old Garrett Phillips pulseless. He began CPR and Garrett was transported quickly to the hospital, but he ultimately died. The only evidence left behind was a bent window screen and a few fingerprints. Investigators immediately focused their attention on the victim’s mother’s ex-boyfriend, Nick Hillary, and he became an outcast, despite no physical evidence of his involvement. Were police targeting him because of his race and pushing another prime suspect aside because he was, GET THIS, another police officer? Or was the investigator’s tunnel vision being exagerrated and Nick Hillary really was responsible for the savage murder of a little boy?

On May 4th, 2007, Patricia Tice opened her door to find two sheriff deputies standing on her front porch. They told her that her 19-year-old daughter, Brittany McGlone was deceased. They wouldn’t elaborate, just telling her that her body was en route to a funeral home. Patricia soon found out that not only was her daughter dead, she had been brutally murdered. Brittany had suffered a vicious attack while sleeping and died from blunt force trauma to the head. She was sleeping in her boyfriend’s bed after a long night shift at work. Her boyfriend and his family were out of the house during the day and Brittany’s boyfriend returned home to find her dead in his bed, covered in blood. One of the first things that crossed Patricia’s mind when she found out her daughter was dead? “That son of a bitch killed her.” Patricia and the rest of her family believe that Brittany’s boyfriend was involved in her murder, along with a family friend with a history of violent crimes.

On November 15th, 2004, the remains of 50-year-old Lauri Waterman were found in a burned out vehicle near the north side of the island of Craig, Alaska. Her remains were so badly burned that only a skull was immediately recognizable. Lauri was loved and respected in her small town, often referred to as a “saint” by most of the people who knew her. She volunteered and worked with children with special needs. Who would’ve killed the generous and loving mother and wife in such a brutal manner? With no enemies, it wasn’t long before investigators turned their attention to her 16-year-old daughter and her new “boyfriend,” who was almost a decade older than her.

They stopped at a nearby bowling alley so Carla could use the bathroom. Afterwards, as the two young lovebirds fooled around in the parking lot, a man yanked open the car door and pulled Carla out. He beat Rodney unconscious, and when Rodney awoke, his girlfriend was gone. Several days later, the high school cheerleader was found dead in a culvert, a victim of rape and strangulation. Police only had one suspect in mind: Rodney, the high school quarterback. But Carla’s family was adamant that Rodney would never hurt their daughter. Were they right?

On Wednesday, December 12th, 2007, 47-year-old Nancy and her 7-year-old Joey Bochicchio left the Boca Raton Town Center Mall after doing some Christmas shopping. Surveillance video showed the two girls leaving the mall, with everything appearing to be normal. However, several hours later, Nancy’s SUV was spotted in a back parking lot of the mall, still running, after the mall had closed. Inside, police found Nancy and Joey, bound and executed. The investigation that followed revealed that these two murders may not have been random at all, that they could’ve been another attack committed by a still-unknown serial killer.
