Twisted Listers Presents TCC: The Toolbox Killer

This week, we look at what can only be described as a devastating case, truly one of the worst out there - The Toolbox Killer. This case again takes place in the 1970's, when multiple young girls were abducted, tortured, sexually assaulted, and killed by two trash bag humans named Larry Bittaker and Roy Norris. These two dirt bags met in prison in a jewerly making class and became fast friends while plotting to terrorize young women and girls when they were released, which happened way too quickly considering their laundry list of past crimes. We'll talk about the making of these monsters, how they met, and the terrible things they did to innocent young women, and please be warned, this is a big trigger warning case, as the facts are very disturbing, and we do include some of the details of these murders in this episode. Listen at your own risk, and be ready to be horrified, angered, and sadened by this absolutely awful case.Join us on instagram: True Crime CaliforniaEmail case suggestions to: truecrimecaliforniapod@gmail.comA proud member of the Darkcast NetworkiSources:https://criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/Lawrence_Bittaker_and_Roy_Norrishttps://law.justia.com/cases/california/supreme-court/3d/48/1046.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lvu63Dqr4Ehttps://www.tapatalk.com/groups/watchingrobertpickton88015/transcript-of-shirley-lynette-ledford-audio-record-t3312.html

TCC Presents: The Barbecue Murders

This week, we go back to the 70's for another infamous crime: The Barbecue Murders! This is a classic tale of parricide, but the details muddy the waters a bit when thinking about who is really at fault, and who is really a victim. Sixteen year old Marlene Olive, adopted at birth and never allowed to forget it, doesn't know love, only control. Her boyfriend, Chuck, doesn't think he's deserving of love and does whatever he can to continually earn Marlene's affection, including plotting to kill her parents, Jim and Naomi Olive. But Chuck isn't the only one Marlene draws into her web, and Jim and Naomi may not be the innocent victims you'd expect. Tune in now for a wild tale of family drama that ends in a horrific double murder. Join us on instagram: True Crime CaliforniaSend us an email with case suggestions, or just say hi! truecrimecaliforniapod@gmail.comA proud member of the Darkcast NetworkSources:https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C5198791https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbecue_murdershttps://www.mercurynews.com/2014/07/21/infamous-marin-killer-will-have-court-ordered-parole-hearing-in-september/https://www.newspapers.com/image/70213152/

TCC #7 The Murder of Debbie Dorian

This week we are covering a lesser known, but still horrific (and also very interesting) case: the murder of Debbie Dorian. Debbie Dorian was a smart, driven 22 year old college student at Fresno State when her life was cut short by an unidentified attacker. Despite police taking immediate action, her case went cold. Just a few years later, a string of sexual assaults began taking place in a nearby town, and when police submitted DNA from one of these attacks to their database, they came up with a suprising match, that lead them on a years long hunt for a very scary man. Please like, rate, review, and join us on instagram!
