Episode 56: Leonard Lake and Charles Ng

Leonard Lake and Charles Ng are two of the most infamous and horrible names in all of true crime, the first to document their horrific deeds on video tape. The savagery and inhumanity of these two ex-Marines is soul shattering and evil beyond belief.
 
Today we document the life of Leonard Lake: his childhood in San Francisco, his time in Vietnam, his exploits as a hippie and pot grower on a commune in the redwoods of Mendocino County, how he used a unicorn goat at a Renaissance Festival to seduce a woman named Cricket, who’d become an accomplice in his deviant sexual escapades.
 
Investigators believe as many as twenty-five bodies, including at least two infants, would eventually be burned, buried and spread throughout the forests of the Sierra Nevada foothills where Cricket had a cabin and let Leonard Lake and his friend Charles Ng live.

Episode 54: Wayne Adam Ford a Killer in the Redwoods

A KILLER IN THE REDWOODS.
 
On Monday, November 2, 1998 Wayne Adam Ford walked into the Eureka Sherriff’s Department in Humboldt County, California saying he didn’t want to hurt people anymore. In his pocket was a woman’s severed breast.
 
For years the community had lived in terror as body parts were found in waterways and beaches, and, working as a long haul truck driver, Wayne had left a string of victims across the state, just how many we’ll never know.
 
Join us as we delve into the life and mind of the rarest of serial killers, one who not only appears remorseful, but ended his murder spree by turning himself over to the police.

Episode 49: The Corpsewood Manor Massacre

What is evil?Some folks see it as a supernatural force from the devil, whose demonic army rises from the pits of hell to influence and possess, and that only religion and church can stop this demonic force.But in reality, sometimes it’s the ones that profess to love God who are the evil ones, and those that hail Satan who are the innocent and good.Today we bring you a story of a professor and scholar, a doctor of neuroscience who stole enough CIA donated LSD to get a town high, and went to the forest to practice Satanism, but it wasn’t the devil that came to slay him and his lover, it was something much more benign and common place.Step aboard the murder coaster, ladies and gentlemen, for a dark ride into the Corpsewood Manor Massacre!Website: www.murdercoasterpodcast.comFacebook: Murder CoasterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/murdercoasterpodcast/Creepy Amusement Park theme by Brandon Fiechter and Derek Fiechter, used by permission and with many thanks.References:Corpsewood: A True Crime Like No Other by Daniel EllisThe Corpsewood Murders in North Georgia by Amy Pettulahttps://youtu.be/qdK9YWObZS8Tri-State Crematory scandal - Wikipedia20 years ago, nearly 350 decomposing bodies were found at a GA crematorium – WSB-TV Channel 2 - Atlanta (wsbtv.com)Bissell pleads guilty to murder in Georgia (gadsdentimes.com)House of Horror: The Brutal Murders at Georgia's Corpsewood Manor (the-line-up.com)
