Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color

In this remastered episode from 2018, Wendy and Beth revisit the case of Kimberly McCarthy, a Texas woman whose seemingly ordinary visit to her elderly neighbor’s home ended in a brutal murder.

But Dorothy Booth wasn’t the only woman whose death would be linked to McCarthy. Investigators soon uncovered connections to two other elderly victims - and a trail that would ultimately lead McCarthy to Texas death row and a grim place in the state’s history.

This episode was researched, scripted & edited by Wendy & Beth Williams.

Thanks for listening! Until next time... look alive y’all, it's crazy out there!

In this remastered episode from 2018, Beth and Wendy discuss Timothy Wilson Spencer, the “Southside Strangler,” who raped and murdered four women during an 11-week killing spree in Virginia in 1987. Even more disturbing? Most of the murders happened while Spencer was living in a halfway house, striking on weekends when he was signed out.

Spencer never confessed, and investigators had little evidence tying him to the crimes until a groundbreaking new technology changed everything. DNA from the crime scenes matched Spencer, making him the first serial killer in the U.S. convicted using DNA evidence.

This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams and edited by Minnie Williams.

In this remastered episode from 2018, Wendy and Beth revisit the chilling case of the Sunday Morning Slasher - a killer who attacked and murdered women across Michigan and Texas, leaving behind crimes that initially appeared to have no connection.

Behind the violence was Carl Eugene “Coral” Watts, a serial killer who claimed he was destroying the “evil” he believed he saw in his victims.

But perhaps the most shocking part of Watts’ story came after he was caught. A controversial plea deal granted him immunity for the murders he confessed to—and eventually left authorities scrambling to find a way to keep a serial killer from walking free.

This episode was researched, scripted, and edited by Wendy & Beth Williams.

For years, women disappeared from the streets of Cleveland, many of their cases receiving little attention. Then, in 2009, police entered Anthony Sowell’s home on Imperial Avenue and discovered the remains of 11 women.

In this rewind episode from 2018, Wendy and Beth examine the crimes of the so-called Cleveland Strangler, the women whose lives he took, the survivors who tried to sound the alarm, and the failures that allowed a killer to hide in plain sight.

This episode was researched, scripted & edited by Wendy & Beth Williams.
