Killer Queens: A True Crime Podcast

On December 17, 2011, the father of 20-month-old, Ayla Reynolds, called the police to report his daughter missing. Ayla was in the custody of her father and the night she disappeared, there were three adults in the house, but not one of them will say what happened to her. They say that she was kidnapped and they didn’t know who took her, but the evidence suggests otherwise. As of this recording, it has been almost 12 years to the day Ayla went missing and her mother still has no answers as to what happened to her 1-year-old daughter that night.

In 1996, the Summer Olympics were held in Atlanta, Georgia. On July 27th, thousands had gathered at Centennial Park for a late night concert. The FBI was told that a tip was called into 911 saying that a bomb would go off in the park within 30 minutes. A search ensued, and the bomb was located by security guard Richard Jewell. An evacuation was ordered, but three minutes into it, the bomb detonated. Two people died as a result of the bombing and 111 others were injured. The person responsible wouldn’t be captured until 2003, but before that, Richard Jewell was cast as the hero, then, unjustly the villain in the bombing. ***TRIGGER WARNING***Terrorism (Bombing) | Anti-LGBTQ Violence | Anti-Abortion Violence 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:ExpressVPN: So stop missing out on great TV and get thousands of new shows with ExpressVPN—we got them to give you guys three extra months free when you use our special link ExpressVPN.com/queens.Cerebral: TO GET STARTED ON YOUR PATH TOWARDS BETTER MENTAL HEALTH, CEREBRAL IS GIVING OUR LISTENERS 15% OFF THEIR FIRST MONTH OF ONLINE THERAPY, MEDICATION OR BOTH.

Did you know we were on the Hulu special about this case? Check it out by clicking here! Natalee Holloway was on her senior class trip in Aruba in 2005. The graduates decided to go out with a bang on their last night on the island and went to a popular bar to have some fun and some drinks as the legal drinking age there is 18. Natalee was seen leaving the bar with a few local boys and was never seen again. It’s been 18 years and neither Natalee nor her remains have been found. Natalee’s family has never stopped looking for her and believe the Aruban police played a big role in covering up what happened to their daughter.

In late August of 2013, Ryan Hoy called the Aurora Colorado Police Department for help. He said that his wife, 47-year-old Yun-Mi, and his 18-year-old stepdaughter, Isabella, were locked in the upstairs bathroom. He could hear his wife yelling for help, but wasn’t sure exactly what was going on. Then, he saw blood start to seep underneath the bathroom door and into the hallway. Shortly after, Isabella opened the bathroom door, knife in hand and covered in her mother’s blood, and walked down the stairs and out of the home. What could’ve caused the young girl to commit such a brutal act? Was she suffering from delusions and an untreated mental illness? Or was she simply a master manipulator?

In late 2019, Kay Woodcock called local police and asked them to perform a welfare check on her 7-year-old grandson, JJ Vallow. She hadn’t seen him in almost two months, and couldn’t get in touch with his mother or his older sister. As investigators began to look into where JJ was, they found that his 16-year-old sister, Tylee Ryan, was also missing. Their mother, Lori Vallow, claimed that they were safe and happy, but refused to tell anyone where they were. Detectives continued to dig into the Vallow family and found a sickening story of extreme religion, demons, zombies, and murder. They found suspicious deaths that surrounded Lori, as well as her new husband, Chad Daybell. Unfortunately, no one could find JJ or Tylee. Were they really somewhere safe or had they been victims of Lori and Chad’s bizarre cult-like religion?TRIGGER WARNINGS: child murder, extreme religion 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:Hello Fresh: Go to HelloFresh.com/killerqueensfree and use code killerqueensfree for FREE breakfast for life!

The Houston Police Department received a 911 call in the early morning hours of July 29th, 2016, from a very calm 16-year-old. AJ Armstrong told the dispatcher that he’d heard gunshots in his parents’ room downstairs and that he was now hiding in the closet of his third floor bedroom. When officers arrived, they found AJ’s mother, Dawn, dead in her bed, from two gunshot wounds to the head. AJ’s father, Antonio, had also suffered a gunshot wound to the head, but was clinging to life. Both AJ and his 12-year-old sister were unharmed. Less than 24 hours later, AJ was charged with the capital murder of both of his parents. Was he responsible for their brutal slayings, or had a masked intruder really just gotten THAT lucky to get away with a double murder?
