Episode 221 - Richard Craniums - The Murder of Nicole VanderHeyden
23 Jun 2024
00:54:53
Imagine you’re accused of a murder you didn’t commit. What's the worst alibi you could possibly have?
It's the one with no eyewitnesses, right? It's the one that’s impossible to prove and might even seem a bit too convenient.
Now, picture your dread as a detective leans in across the interrogation table and asks, "Where were you on the morning of “such and such a date”, between 3 and 6 in the morning?"
Your heart sinks cause your only answer is the honest one: "I was at home, asleep all night in bed by myself."
It’s an alibi like this that can put a person in the hot seat even if they ARE telling the truth.

However, in this version of events, Pam Hupp takes a backseat as we focus on the destruction she left in her wake. Her victims, the survivors, and how Russ Faria was left picking up the pieces of his life, ignited by a single mission - to prevent his experience from ever happening to someone else.

On August 4th, 2015 in Pensacola, Florida. Escambia County Sheriff, David Morgan delivered a disturbing press conference, giving insight into a recent triple homicide that had taken place inside a quiet suburban home.
The grizzly crime scene he described and the brutal way the victims had been murdered was disturbing, but it’s what he said next that sent chills down reporter's spines.
The murders appeared to have been ritualistic. Part of some sort of witchcraft ceremony coinciding with the recent and rare Blue Moon.

A community in need of a champion, a strong voice against hate crimes in South Africa. A force that would continue, even into her heartbreaking and barbaric murder.

“Who are you and what have you done with my wife?” It's the kind of rhetorical question asked in jest, expressing pleasant surprise when someone has a change in behavior or attitude.
But what if this wasn’t a rhetorical question? What if someone believed their spouse had actually been replaced by someone else? An imposter. A lookalike. Suddenly “Who are you and what have you done with my wife” takes on a much darker, and more sinister tone.

Watch enough crime shows and it doesn’t take long to figure out the steps a killer will take to get away with murder.
They stage the crime scene, they ditch the murder weapon, they fabricate an alibi, and at all costs, make sure to keep their mouths shut until the day they die.
But in the case you’re about to hear the killer takes things a step further by actually manipulating information in the case file. Even making evidence disappear. All while hiding in plain sight for more than two decades.

In the high desert of Utah, there’s a 10,000-square-foot house that’s considered an architectural masterpiece, constructed to seamlessly blend into the rocky landscape, as if rising from the ground.
While the intent was to maximize the views of the Red Mountain Wilderness, it’s also a stark-looking home. Its brutalist architecture making it appear more like a compound, a place made to keep people inside.
And it seemed it had…when on the morning of August 30th, 2023, a 12-year-old boy climbed out one of the windows to make an escape.

Valentine’s Day 2010 was supposed to be the perfect day for Richard and Stacey Schoeck to re-stoke old fires of desire. Like many couples, work, kids, and other commitments had meant little time for passion. But they were about to change all that.
Their plan was to meet up in a secret, secluded spot, in the pitch-black darkness of the North Georgia countryside. A perfect place to drink some wine, exchange their Valentine’s …and maybe more. Tragically, they’d never get that chance.

Their bodies were later discovered floating in Tampa Bay with all signs horrifically pointing to the probability they’d been thrown overboard alive - bound and weighed down with cinder blocks.
It would be a crime that would go unsolved for three years. That's until a group of determined cold case investigators decided to take another look at the case - a case that would make it to the famous TV show "Unsolved Mysteries", and onto billboards, all in a desperate attempt to track down a man they suspected was a serial killer.

After Nicole Addimando fatally shot her partner in what she claimed was self-defense, she was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. At her trial the details surrounding her history of abuse were excluded, essentially removing the context for what happened the night of the shooting from the jury.
As much as this case examines the darker side of the judicial system it also highlights human strength and the immense power of friendship, love, and compassion - the unstoppable force behind a group of women who have fought fiercely to bring not only Nikki’s truth to light but the injustice all criminalized survivors of intimate partner violence face.

Ben Jr. Novack had it all - wealth, influence, and a thriving convention business that made him millions each year. He was also the son of one of the world’s most successful hoteliers. But none of that would protect him from a gruesome death at the hands of the person he should have trusted the most. A wife who took her vows of “til death do us part” to a whole new twisted and sadistic level, stopping at nothing to make sure that if she couldn’t have him, no one could.

Halloween is without a doubt considered the spookiest time of year.
It’s the time of year when we binge watch all of the horror classics, sure to induce a good jump scare - like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. There are also those other classics that take us to a much darker place - like Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen, where we question the existence of demons.
For one young man in the town of Manteca, California, there came a time where he didn’t just question the existence of demons - he believed he was actually seeing them.
