It's the last True Crime Thursday before Halloween, and Alyssa and Mike cover four cases tied to the holiday. They start with the 2024 downtown Orlando shooting, including today's sentencing update. Next is the 1930s Everett, Washington "Halloween bakery murder," which was solved years later by a letter from Alcatraz. Then comes the 1974 "Candyman" poisoning case in Texas. The last case is the Halloween-night murder of a mother in Brandon, Florida. Along the way they talk about mischief night, why nobody TPs anymore, and the giant toilet paper roll at Target. Listener note: this episode covers violent crimes, including the deaths of children.Timeline* 0:00 Cold open: remember mischief night?* 1:09 Welcome to a spooky True Crime Thursday* 2:03 Case 1: The Orlando Halloween shooting* 5:28 Update: sentenced to life in prison* 7:11 Case 2: The Halloween bakery murder* 10:28 A cold case and six suspects* 11:11 A confession from Alcatraz* 15:34 Case 3: The "Candyman" (1974)* 23:31 Mischief night, TP pranks and the mega toilet paper roll* 27:43 Case 4: The Brandon, Florida Halloween murder* 35:06 Wrap-up: they thought they'd get away with it* 36:18 Sign-off: have a safer Halloween#TrueCrime #TrueCrimeThursday #HalloweenTrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Halloween #CaseFiles #Podcast
