NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to April 25, when Todd died. The previous episode was recorded after, because I wanted to address his death on the next episode that I released. Kevin from History Goon once again joins Bill on this one, and as of the time of release, Kevin’s podcast, History Goon has been released! Show link is with the links below.

In this episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer, wetake a deep breath and dive into one of the most disturbing and controlling religious movements in modern America — the Word of Faith Fellowship, led by the iron-fisted Jane Whaley. From her pulpit in Spindale, North Carolina, Whaley built a cult cloaked in Christianity, where members endured public beatings, emotional manipulation, and “blasting” prayers that sounded more like exorcisms than sermons.

We break down Jane’s rise from math teacher to spiritualdictator, the shocking allegations of abuse and isolation, and the hold she maintained over followers for decades — even banning laughter, music, and contact with the outside world. It’s a tale of spiritual control, psychological domination, and the terrifying power of blind faith.

Grab a beer — you’re gonna need it — and join us as we pullback the curtain on the Word of Faith Fellowship cult, wheresalvation came with a side of fear.

In this episode, we're cracking open a cold one and getting into the twisted saga of Clarence “Preacher” Heatley — a man whose nickname made him sound like a man of God, but whose actions were straight out of hell. Preacher wasn’t just a gangster — he was the head of a ruthless criminal enterprise that ran Harlem like a sermon soaked in blood.

From kidnapping and extortion to drug dealing and murder,Heatley’s Preacher Crew turned fear into currency and loyalty into a death sentence. We’re talking about a guy who turned a hotel into his personal torture chamber and handed down his own brand of justice like it was gospel. You’ll hear how he rose to power, what brought him down, and why his story still sends a chill down New York’s spine.

We also have sad news, regarding Todd, the first CKCB co-host, and we’re joined once again by History Goon, Kevin Carleton...And, he has an announcement!

It was time, folks! During the Dexter episode, Bill told Sandra about Toy Box Killer, David Parker Ray, after mentioning the killer from the TV show that could have been inspired by him. She was a little spooked by the very brief description, so Bill figured, LET’S COVER THAT ONE!!!

David Parker Ray was a sadistic serial rapist and killer. He would abduct women, and restrain them in his toy box, a service trailer that he turned into an S&M torture chamber. He would drug them, and when they woke up, he would play a sadistic tape recording of him telling the victim exactly what to expect for the duration of their stay. He would then rape the women for days, weeks, and in some cases, months.

3 women survived, although he is strongly suspected of killing many more, as well as abducting and torturing many more. But it was the heroic actions of 3 victims, one of which escaped, that brought Ray’s crimes to light, and led to his arrest and conviction.
