Ep. 43 : Katherine Knight - The Hanna Lecter of Australia
If you plan to make stew for dinner, maybe rethink your menu. Things get pretty heavy as we embark on our first cannibalism story : the absolute horror show of Australia's Katherine Knight, also known as Hanna Lecter. A product of sexual abuse and household horrors, Katherine was almost doomed from the start. As an adult, she'd consistently abuse her partners and go so far as to threaten murder. Her prized possession was a set of butcher knives from her time as a slaughter-house employee. We'll dig in to the many failed relationships of Katherine Knight and mourn the loss of John "Pricey" Price, the one who couldn't get away. This week is frighteningly dark, but it's a true crime story you don't want to miss. Halee sweetens things up with delicious oatmeal cookies. Happy Haunting!

Four husbands, seven books and many doses of ketamine later, and Marcia Moore found herself closer than ever to the divine until she disappeared one wintry night. Was it murder? Suicide? Kidnapping? Or had Marcia simply dematerialized back into the universe? Join us as we travel through all 12 dimensions, investigating a second strange disappearance and enjoying home made ice cream, straight from Halee’s kitchen. Happy Haunting!
Ep. 17 : Escaping a Serial Killer: The Kara Robinson Story
