  • The South Carolina Mill Massacre of 1934

    The South Carolina Mill Massacre of 1934
    2025/11/06
    In the sweltering September of 1934, textile workers across the South rose up in one of the largest labor strikes in American history. In Honea Path, South Carolina, their demand for dignity was met with bullets. This episode reconstructs the day National Guard-backed forces opened fire on unarmed strikers, killing seven and wounding dozens more. We trace the complicity of mill owners, the silence of local officials, and the generational trauma that followed. Through survivor testimony and archival reckoning, we ask: what does justice look like when the town itself was built on denial?

  • Christa Pike

    Christa Pike
    2025/10/30
    On Friday the 13th, 1995, a teenage girl was lured into the woods by classmates she thought she could trust. What followed was a ritual of jealousy, obsession, and unimaginable cruelty. Colleen Slemmer begged for her life—again and again—and was punished for speaking. This episode unpacks the murder that made Christa Pike the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in the U.S., tracing the trauma that shaped her, the occult fantasies that fueled her, and the brutal aftermath that left investigators stunned.

    We follow Colleen’s final moments with survivor-centered clarity, exposing the systems that failed her and the silence that let it happen. From the pentagram carved into her chest to the piece of her skull kept as a trophy, this story isn’t just about murder—it’s about what Colleen endured, what she survived until she couldn’t, and the legacy of violence that still echoes through death row.

  • Dial Tone of a Killer

    Dial Tone of a Killer
    2025/10/23
    In the late spring of 1985, 17-year-old Shari Faye Smith vanished from her family’s driveway in broad daylight—just days before she was set to sing at her high school graduation. What followed was a week of torment: cryptic phone calls, a heartbreaking handwritten goodbye, and a killer who used the telephone as a weapon of psychological warfare.

    Two weeks later, 9-year-old Debra May Helmick was abducted while playing in her front yard. Her brother watched. A neighbor saw. And still, the man escaped.

    This episode unravels the chilling story of Larry Gene Bell—a predator who manipulated families, taunted investigators, and left behind emotional wreckage that still echoes through South Carolina. Through the voices of Shari’s mother and sister, the bravery of a community, and the relentless pursuit of justice, Dial Tone of a Killer is a haunting reminder that evil doesn’t always hide in the shadows—it sometimes calls you from a payphone.

    The Baby Thief of Memphis
    2025/10/16
    In this episode, we unravel the chilling legacy of Georgia Tann, the woman who turned child trafficking into a state-sanctioned business. From 1920s Tennessee to Hollywood adoptions, Tann exploited poverty, forged documents, and tore families apart—all under the guise of benevolence. We center the voices of survivors, trace the complicity of judges and politicians, and ask: how many lives were rewritten without consent?

  • The Informant Who Became a Serial Killer

    The Informant Who Became a Serial Killer
    2025/10/02
    When we think of serial killers, the names Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer usually come to mind. But serial murder isn’t just a thing of the past. In this episode of Bloodshed & Breadcrumbs, we dive into the chilling case of Kenyel Brown — the Metro Detroit Serial Killer.

    Between 2019 and 2020, Brown terrorized Wayne County, Michigan, leaving multiple victims in his wake. What makes this case even more disturbing is how Brown, despite decades of crime and parole violations, managed to slip through the cracks of the justice system — even working as an informant for federal agencies.

    How did a man with such a violent history avoid consequences for so long? And how did the system’s failures give him the chance to kill?
