Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color

In the early 1900s, a series of horrific axe murders terrorized families across Louisiana and Texas, leaving entire households slaughtered in their beds. The investigation eventually led authorities to a young black woman named Clementine Barnabet, who confessed to dozens of killings and claimed they were carried out on behalf of a secret religious cult known as the "Church of Sacrifice."

But was she telling the truth?

In this rewind episode from 2018, Wendy and Beth explore one of America's most mysterious true crime cases. They examine the brutal murders, Barnabet's shocking confessions, and the many questions that continue to surround the investigation more than a century later. Was Clementine Barnabet one of the nation's earliest female serial killers, or was she a convenient suspect caught up in a flawed investigation fueled by fear, racism, and sensational headlines? It's a haunting mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

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 1995, Annette Williams claimed she was pregnant. There was just one problem - she wasn't. As the months passed and her lie unraveled, she and her boyfriend, Fedell Caffey, made a horrifying decision. They would take someone else's baby.

Their victim was 28-year-old Debra Evans, who was nine months pregnant. The brutal attack that followed left three people dead and a newborn fighting for survival after being cut from his mother's womb.

Join Wendy and Beth for this rewind episode from 2023 as they examine one of the most shocking and heartbreaking cases of fetal abduction in US history, a crime fueled by lies, obsession, and unimaginable violence.

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

Before there was Bonnie and Clyde, Brazil had Maria Bonita and Lampião. Known as the King and Queen of the Cangaço, they led a notorious band of outlaws across Brazil’s rugged northeast during the 1920s and 1930s. To some, they were ruthless criminals. To others, they were folk heroes who challenged the powerful and became legends.

In this rewind episode from 2023, we explore the love story, violence, myths, and bloody end of the couple who became Brazil’s most famous outlaws.

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