The Unforgivables

In many minds the fact that your own government would be spying and conducting tests on its own citizens was just too hard to comprehend — and thats exactly why the cities commission to investigate the FBi was created..Charles Manson continues to bounce around San Francisco slowly assembling his family — and comes across a friendly traveller..

In March of 1967 Charles Manson was released from Terminal Island prison in Los Angeles, and before long finds himself in San Francisco and the centre of the hippie movement — and begins collecting a group of young followers...

In this episode we discuss the early years of Charles Manson. From his time in juvenile centres during the early 50’s to his transformative years spent behind bars in the early 60’s — as the outside world was quickly changing and the revolution was slowly beginning..

Perpetrators of murders don’t usually call 911 on themselves, neither do theybeg to be caught. Paul Michael Stefani, the Weepy voiced Killer, however, didjust that. And then he would do it over and over again.In the early 1980’s Minnesota law enforcement would be plagued by a series ofbizarre and anonymous 911 calls – confessions of murder given by the highpitched, panicked voice of a man who was viciously murdering womenaround Miniappolis and St. Paul – an area also known as the twin cities.

The untold story of the Doodler is a new documentary podcast series from Ugly Duckling Films.  The show unravels the case and dives into the archive of the San Francisco Chronicle and San Francisco Police Dept. The Doodler, known for drawing portraits of his victims, is a serial killer who committed violent targeted attacks against the LGBTQ community in the San Francisco area between 1974 and 1975.

Vickie Wegerle would be strangeled in her home the following year, yet BTK waited nearly five more years before invading the home of his final victim, Dolores Davis, in 1991.

It was the year of 1974 and Dennis Rader was living a double life. And While the family man was hanging porch swings, building treehouses, watching his daughter crawl up her favorite climbing tree and planting flowers along the driveway, BTK was having, what he called, ‘motel parties.’ But - his own personal motel parties weren’t enough. With the memory of the Otero murders still fresh in his mind, Rader’s desires grew, and soon enough they would be too much for him to control.

To satisfy the deviancy that fuelled his sexual fantasies, the deeply visceral urge to troll, stalk and brutally victimize lasted for three decades, leaving 10 dead and the citizens of the largest city in Kansas afraid of what could be waiting inside their own homes in the light of day – or of what may be lurking outside of them at night….This is the story of Dennis Rader, otherwise known as BTK.
