BONUS: The Camp Bulletin (Vol. 10) — Poisoned Preschools, Bear Attacks, and Something Sinister in New England

100 episodes, campers. We can hardly believe it. To mark the milestone, we’re taking you deep into one of the most shocking and twisted cases we’ve ever covered: The “Rose Petal” Murder of Christina Parcell in Greenville, South Carolina….which actually had VERY little to do with roses. On October 13th, 2021, 41-year-old veterinary tech and mother to a 9 year old daughter Christina Parcell was found brutally stabbed 35 times in her home — with dozens of rose petals and leaves scattered eerily around the crime scene. The discovery set off a complex investigation that unraveled secrets of custody battles, manipulation, obsession, and a trail of harassment that stretched across years and even continents. In the end—it led police to a man who NO one saw coming—and whose reasons he gave for the cold-blooded murder were just as shocking as the crime itself. This is Part 1.⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes graphic violence, child custody disputes, stalking, harassment, and disturbing details about the murder. Listener discretion strongly advised.The details:That Morning: Ring doorbell cameras captured a figure carrying roses approaching the Parcell home.The Victim: Christina was a devoted mother, veterinary technician, and sister whose kindness touched coworkers and friends.The Fiancé: Bradley Post, 65, retired multimillionaire, and first on the scene. Did he know more than he was letting on?The Sister’s POV: Tina Parcell’s unwavering suspicion and her close bond with Christina.John Mello: Christina’s ex, Amy’s father, and a man whose obsessive behavior, accusations, and eventual move to Italy raised every red flag.The Harassment Campaign: how Christina’s past was weaponized against her when pornographic images and escort ads were mailed to friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors.This is Part I of our two-part deep dive into the Rose Petal Murders. In this first installment, we lay out the tangled web of relationships, custody battles, and escalating threats that set the stage for Christina’s violent death. Part II will unravel the investigation, the shocking arrest, and the trial that followed.“That’s Genevieve. And that’s Kaitlyn.”Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled.

The Villisca Axe Murders didn’t just end with the brutal crime of 1912; the house itself has lived on with a legacy of hauntings, morbid tourism, and unanswered questions.

Have you ever locked eyes with someone who looked exactly like you? Or heard the old superstition that seeing your double means death is near? This week, we’re pulling back the veil on one of folklore’s creepiest figures: the doppelgänger.⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes themes of death, folklore, paranormal encounters, and unsettling psychological experiences.

We’ve made it, campers—the conclusion of the BTK saga. In this final chapter, we watch the seemingly ordinary father and church leader Dennis Rader unravel, thanks in part to someone far closer to him than police could have imagined.From his last known murder in 1991 to his arrest in 2005, we trace Rader’s brazen communications with police, the meticulous cat-and-mouse strategy of Lt. Kenneth Landwehr’s task force, and the mistake that finally ended BTK’s decades-long reign of terror: a purple floppy disk.Along the way, we hear about Rader’s disturbing “projects,” his abuse of power as a compliance officer, and the FBI-backed media tactics designed to draw him out. The investigation’s turning points—DNA from a pap smear, Home Depot surveillance, and a cereal box with a creepy payload—culminate in one of the most famous takedowns in true crime history.Dennis Rader is now serving ten consecutive life sentences at El Dorado Correctional Facility. The real story, though, may be his daughter Kerri’s extraordinary journey from survivor to advocate for trauma recovery and victims’ rights.Sources:A Serial Killer’s Daughter by Kerri RawsonBind, Torture, Kill: The Inside Story of BTK by Roy Wenzl, Tim Potter, L.

There’s just that much horrible shit happening in the world. First up: a Southwest Airlines passenger found guilty of groping the woman next to him mid-flight has the audacity to call it “flirting.” Sir, no. Spoiler: the jury took only 30 minutes to convict him. We would’ve taken three.Next, we unpack the devastating case of Carol Maltesi, a model and sex worker in Italy who was brutally murdered by a man she met through OnlyFans. The story itself is gut-wrenching, but the victim-blaming that followed made it even worse.From there, we dive into the takedown of one of the FBI's Most Wanted: Michael Pratt, co-founder of the GirlsDoPorn trafficking ring. He pleaded guilty to sex trafficking after years of luring women under false pretenses, threatening them, and posting their videos online. Justice is finally being served, and we hope he enjoys gen pop.We also cover the chilling, real-time story of a politically motivated shooting in Minnesota that left two lawmakers dead.To close things out, we offer one last reason never to relax again: a 14-foot, 1,600-pound great white shark named Contender is casually cruising off the coast of North Carolina. We repeat: he is right there. "That’s Genevieve." "And that’s Kaitlyn."Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled.
