Rasmussen

In November, 1985 two bodies, an adult woman and a girl were found in a 55 gallon drum just outside Bear Brook State Park in New Hampshire. They remained unidentified for decades. In 2000 a second barrel was located 100 yards from where the first was found, it too contained remains, this time of two unidentified female youths. It would be over a decade before they were tied to one man, The Chameleon Killer, Terrance Petar Rasmussen. This is the convoluted story of how it all came together.

The Death of Chris Adams

On October, 7 2001 professional wrestler Chris Adams arrived at the home of his best friend, Brent "Booray" Parnell, in Waxahachie, Texas to discuss an upcoming show they were planning on putting on. At some point during the evening, Adams, who had been drinking and was a world class judokan, attacked Parnell. When the smoke cleared, Adams was dead, shot by his best friend. This is the story of a man who rose to the heights of professional wrestling on to crash and burn as a result of his own vices.

The West Memphis Three Part 3

This is a special wrap-up episode. To skip my small rant on what is going on in the world, go to 00:10:23
On May, 5 1993 three eight year old boys, Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers went missing. The next day, their mutilated, naked bodies were discovered inside of a drainage ditch in a heavily wooded area of the 10 Mile Bayou known as "Robin Hood Hills." Eventually, a 17 year old named Jessie Misskelley, Jr. would confess to the crime, implicating his friends, 18 year old Damien Echols and 16 year old Charles 'Jason" Baldwin as the masterminds behind the slaying. Wrongly lumped in as part of the "Satanic Panic" craze of the 80s and 90s, the case, and the conviction of the three men responsible, has divided people for years, with many contending their innocence based upon numerous misrepresentations of the facts in various forms of media.  In Part Three I will be looking at the trials, convictions, multiple confessions, and eventually wronful release of the killers. Follow The Deathcast on Instagram and Twitter @AuthorTotten

Fred and Rose West

In February 1994 police and social services in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, began investigating Fred West for rape and incest involving his 13 year old daughter. Soon however, their attention turned to the whereabouts of another of his daughters, Heather West, who had not been seen by anyone in the family since 1986. They listened as the West children told of their parent's family joke, how they would wind up buried beneath the patio like their sister should they misbehave. Soon the police discovered that, much to their horror, the joke was grounded in reality, and that Heather West wasn't the only secret the garden at 25 Cromwell Street held.
