Serial Killers & Murderous Minds

Hosted by Sarah Turney and Kourtney Nichole, The Final Hours examines the moments just before a person disappears. The routines. The timelines. And the small details that often get overlooked,  until it’s too late.

Sarah is an advocate for missing and murdered victims whose sister disappeared in 2001. Kourtney is a true crime storyteller and investigator who witnessed firsthand how crime can change a family forever. Together, they bring lived experience into every case, looking not only at what happened, but what led up to it.

In this episode of Serial Killers and Murderous Minds, Vanessa Richardson and forensic psychologist Dr. Tristin Engels are joined by Sarah Turney and Kourtney Nichole from Crime House's new show, The Final Hours. They explore the early life of Lyda Southard, a woman trapped by poverty, rigid gender roles, and rural isolation in the early 20th century. What begins as a story of a young woman longing for independence quickly turns sinister as Lyda discovers a deadly path to freedom. Through a chilling pattern of illness, arsenic poisoning, and life insurance payouts, the episode traces Lyda’s first murders and the psychological motivations behind her calculated cruelty—setting the foundation for one of America’s most disturbing female serial killer cases.
