Step-Father Knows Worst! (Part 1)

Aug 3rd, 2026 5:15 AM

Hey Slaycaters, get ready for a twisted case that pits a determined father against a cunning stepfather. Without giving too much away, in 1982, Kalinka Bamberski, a healthy 14-year-old, was staying with her mom and physician stepfather in Germany when she seemingly died in her sleep. After a bizarre autopsy and an ever-changing story, authorities ruled her death due to natural causes and didn't pursue charges. However, Kalinka's birth father, André, refused to accept the official story. What followed was a decades-long international battle spanning two countries, multiple trials, and a desperate dad’s relentless pursuit of answers... and justice. But will he find either? As always, thanks for Slaycating with us, and please stay safe out there!

Bomb Voyage!

Jul 20th, 2026 5:05 AM

Hey Slaycaters! We’re going to blow your socks off with a case that’s got a little bit of everything. History? Check! Royalty? Check! Sabotage? Check! Assassination? Check and first mate! Get ready for the case of Lord Mountbatten, a retired British statesman and cousin to Queen Elizabeth II. Every year he summered off the coast of Mullaghmore, Ireland at Classiebawn Castle. He loved it there. He felt safe there. Not even ‘The Troubles’ Northern Ireland could keep this British war hero away. Unfortunately, his well-known annual routine may have made him the perfect target…and left him dead in the water. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us and please stay safe out there!
