The tragic murder of 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart, often referred to as the "Scream Murder," centers around a terrifying "life imitating art" crime that occurred in Pocatello, Idaho in 2006. Cassie, who was known for her vivacity and zest for life, was house-sitting in a remote location on a September night when, unbeknownst to her, a diabolical plan was set in motion by two of her high school classmates.  Driven by an obsession with violent films and a desire for notoriety, these ruthless teenage savages methodically devised and carried out an exceedingly violent murder, drawing inspiration from the movie "Scream" and documenting many of their sinister actions along the way. What transpired on that fateful September night was a harrowing and senseless act of brutality in which an innocent young girl, Cassie, fell victim to an unimaginably horrific death.  Please listen with caution.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: [email protected] Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com     The co-hosts of this podcast were not present at the time(s) of the events described.  Consequently, the information contained in this podcast was obtained from third-party resources and research which we relied upon.  As such, we are unable to guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, usefulness and/or  timeliness of the content(s) of this podcast, and assume no liability for any errors and/or omissions as to such content, and/or any offered opinions and/or comments. 

In the second installment of our two-part series delving into the depraved life of serial killer Israel Keyes, we turn our attention to the chilling escalation of this elusive "phantom psychopath." For years, he ran circles around law enforcement, ruthlessly and tragically selecting his victims at random with unparalleled precision and attention to detail. However, there came a point when this malevolent individual lost his meticulous touch and faltered after committing an unspeakable act of cruelty against a young woman working at an Alaskan coffee stand. At long last, Israel Keyes' reign of terror came to an end. And the FBI interrogation that transpired after his apprehension, coupled with the dramatic, enigmatic, and truly shocking final chapter, provided an absolutely outrageous conclusion to this horrific case.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: ps[email protected] Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com     The co-hosts of this podcast were not present at the time(s) of the events described.  Consequently, the information contained in this podcast was obtained from third-party resources and research which we relied upon.  As such, we are unable to guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, usefulness and/or  timeliness of the content(s) of this podcast, and assume no liability for any errors and/or omissions as to such content, and/or any offered opinions and/or comments. 

In the depraved world of serial killers, Israel Keyes stands out as a chilling enigma. While he may not be a trending household name like Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy, this self-proclaimed "hunter" of humans was once regarded by the FBI as one of the most terrifying individuals they had ever encountered. Keyes meticulously planned and executed a series of brutal murders across the United States, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and hidden horrors. Known for his unique ability to blend seamlessly into society, Keyes was a master manipulator whose crimes remained undetected for an entire decade. This cold-blooded predator's case continues to baffle investigators and offers a disturbing glimpse into the mind of a remorseless, highly organized, and efficient serial killer. Join us as we delve into the dark and complex world of Israel Keyes, a twisted man who proved that evil can lurk in plain sight.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: [email protected] Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com     The co-hosts of this podcast were not present at the time(s) of the events described.  Consequently, the information contained in this podcast was obtained from third-party resources and research which we relied upon.  As such, we are unable to guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, usefulness and/or  timeliness of the content(s) of this podcast, and assume no liability for any errors and/or omissions as to such content, and/or any offered opinions and/or comments. 

For many, the idea of family is often seen as a reliable wellspring of love and support.  However, in the case of the Mauerova family from the Czech Republic, the concept of family takes a different turn.  Instead of being a source of safety, comfort, and unconditional love, their family became a danger zone characterized by profound suffering, twisted perversion, and unfathomable torture.  In today's case we explore a family shrouded in extraordinary secrecy, manipulation, control, and brutality.  Their unique form of cruelty encompassed cults, confinement, cages, and even cannibalism, intertwined with elements of religious mysticism, delusions, and identity theft.  There is A LOT to unpack with this case and many complex avenues to explore.  Please listen to this episode with caution, as the subject matter is truly devastating and may be difficult to hear.   Instagram + Threads: @psychopediapod @tank.sinatra @investigatorslater Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Email: [email protected] Website: www.psychopediapodcast.com
