I find it creepy to think that we interact with murderers at some point in our lives. So many unsolved cases means killers on the run. Recently a woman was arrested for a murder in 2012 in Arlington, TX. There’s pictures of her being a real estate agent since and she her dna was taken from a fork that she left behind at a restaurant while eating with friends. It blows my mind that the whole time she knew exactly what she did and was capable of but pretended to be a normal member of society.

For those who are not 100 years old like me, Pat Allanson is the psychopathic creature featured in Ann Rule’s 1993 book Everything She Ever Wanted. In the book, Pat records her phone calls with her jailed husband Tom and, among other manipulations, attempts to lure Tom into a “suicide pact” before he’s tried so that he can’t implicate her for facilitating the murder of his parents. It’s a complicated and fascinating tale, but I’m wondering if anyone has ever tracked down these tapes and posted them somewhere? Just curious, I’ve always wanted to listen to them.

In 2013, Christine Moody and her husband, Jeremy, drove to the home of Charles and Gretchen Parker in South Carolina, pretending to need help with car trouble. Once inside, they shot and killed both victims. The Moodys claimed they targeted Charles Parker because he was a registered sex offender, and investigators said the murders were motivated by the couple’s extremist beliefs and self-appointed sense of vigilante justice.

I came across the survival story of Desiree Staperfene on TikTok. In summary she was 17 when her ex boyfriend (Brian Douglas White) broke into her home, held her hostage, and used an axe to murder her mother and new boyfriend before taking his own life. This happened in Livonia, MI, in 2012.

There is a lot across social media covering the 911 calls and some local news coverage from the time, but I’m shocked that I can’t seem to find any true crime documentaries or podcasts that dive into this case.

Is anyone familiar with the story who could point me to additional resources or an episode where it’s covered somewhere?
