Episode 226: Viktoria Nasyrova

Viktoria Nasyrova is a Russian native who landed herself on interpol’s radar after allegedly committing a murder in Russia before fleeing to New York City where she attempted to murder at least one more. Viktoria had befriended Alla Aleksenko, her neighbor in Russia, and the two had grown close. When Alla stopped answering her daughter Nadia’s calls, flags were raised. Viktoria had taken off to NYC before charges were filed. Once there, she used poisoned cheesecake (you read that right) in the attempted murder of a Ukrainian lookalike, Olga Tsvyk, to steal her passport. Viktoria worked as an escort/dominatrix who would often sedate her clients before robbing them. It’s unknown what her murder count truly is.

Episode 225: Lee Cawthon, the Murder of Rebecca Cawthon

Lee Cawthon began dating Genie Gagnon in high school, and throughout their marriage, he was in all ways, abusive. His step-cousin Becky began babysitting their children, and a romance budded between Lee and Becky. Though Genie did not consent, Becky was soon a third partner in their marriage before Genie saw her chance to run away with her children. Lee and Becky married, and continued introducing other women into their relationship. In 2017, they allowed their first male partner, which seemingly started an even faster downward spiral that would result in Becky’s murder. (TW: violence, SA, childhood SA, animal cruelty, suicide)

Episode 224: Stephanie Lazarus, the Murder of Sherri Rasmussen

In 1986, 29 year old newlywed Sherri Rasmussen was brutally murdered in her home. After her husband John was cleared by investigators, her case fell cold after they believed her murder must’ve been a burglary gone wrong with no leads. Decades later, the case was reopened and investigators arrived at a new conclusion: the suspect was one of their own. DNA from a bite mark found on Sherri’s body led them to a then-current LAPD detective named Stephanie Lazarus.

Kara suffered 18 hours of hell, taken by a man who attacked her physically, sexually, and emotionally. Kara began memorizing his apartment, phone numbers, serial numbers, and any details she could.
