TCC 17 Roger Kibbe, The I-5 Strangler

Apr 25th, 2025 3:00 PM

This week, we take a look at a slightly lesser known but still very scary serial killer, Roger Kibbe, the I-5 Strangler. Roger had the typical serial killer upbringing - bad home life, mommy issues, and the inability to express his emotions except through trouble making and violence. The thing that makes this story so unique is just how many times Kibbe slipped through the fingers of detectives, despite his bravado when committing his crimes. It's frustrating to say the least, but makes his capture all the sweeter, when it finally (finally!) happens. Join us on instagram: True Crime CaliforniaEmail case suggestions to: truecrimecaliforniapod@gmail.comA proud member of the Darkcast NetworkiSources:https://www.amazon.com/Trace-Evidence-Elusive-Serial-Killer/dp/0684807084https://apnews.com/article/i-5-strangler-killed-in-prison-roger-reece-kibbe-a85c34042c1b466b1562746fc1a84452https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0645493/

TCC 16 Steven and Cary Stayner, Part 2

Apr 17th, 2025 3:55 PM

This week we conclude the terrible tale of two brothers, both wounded by their childhoods, in very different but equally horrific ways, and both with tragic endings to their adult lives (although one is still very much alive). Part two of this tale focuses on Cary's life after leaving home, and after the death of both his brother and his uncle. Cary's life goes very sideways from here, as he finally gives in to his demons, with terrifying and awful results.Join us on instagram: True Crime CaliforniaEmail case suggestions to: truecrimecaliforniapod@gmail.comA proud member of the Darkcast NetworkiSources:https://www.myyosemitepark.com/park/history/yosemite-serial-killer/https://abcnews.go.com/US/steven-cary-stayner-tale-brothers-horror-heroism/story?id=60529944https://archive.org/details/iknowmyfirstname0000echo/page/204/mode/2up

TCC #16 Steven and Cary Stayner, Part 1

Apr 10th, 2025 9:00 AM

This week is part 1 of a two-for-one true crime story, with two horrifying stories from the same ill fated family - the Stayners. We begin our story with the birth of the eldest son, Cary Stayner. Four years later, his younger brother, Steven would be born, causing a rift in the family that never healed. Tragedy struck this familiy time and time again, giving new meaning to the term 'generational trauma'. Horrible things happened both to and because of this family, and the shockwaves can be felt to this day. While many podcasts focus on Cary's story, this story will be about both brothers, as their stories can't be told separately without losing out on the gravity of the situations. This is truly one of the saddest, most tragic stories in the history of California true crime, so tune in and get ready for a crazy, terrible tale. Join us on instagram: True Crime CaliforniaEmail case suggestions to: truecrimecaliforniapod@gmail.comA proud member of the Darkcast NetworkiSources:https://www.myyosemitepark.com/park/history/yosemite-serial-killer/https://abcnews.go.com/US/steven-cary-stayner-tale-brothers-horror-heroism/story?id=60529944https://archive.org/details/iknowmyfirstname0000echo/page/204/mode/2up

TCC #15 Sherri Rasmussen

Apr 3rd, 2025 9:00 AM

Sherri Rasmussen was a super accomplished, intelligent, beautiful woman with a fantastic career and brand new marriage when she was brutally murdered inside her home. She was only 29 years old. The case went cold for many years, with virtually no viable leads. Sherri's family always felt they knew who was to blame, but unfortunately, they weren't listened to by police, until over 20 years later when DNA helped the family finally find justice and closure. The solving of the case came after a number of surprising twists and turns, which is why this story is so well known in the true crime community. If you have heard it before, enjoy my retelling, and if you haven't heard it, welcome to this crazy case!Join us on instagram: True Crime CaliforniaEmail case suggestions to: truecrimecaliforniapod@gmail.comA proud member of the Darkcast NetworkiSources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Sherri_Rasmussenhttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ex-lapd-detective-hid-murder-decades-wont-paroled-reversing-earlier-de-rcna173723https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1268118624623688

TCC #14 The Keddie Cabin Murders

Mar 27th, 2025 1:49 PM

This week, we're taking a look at an unsolved case - one of the most famous in California, in fact! This came in as a listener request but was definitely something we wanted to do anyway, so we're glad you all asked! This story takes place in the remote area of Keddie, California, in what can only be described as a micro community of families living in defunct vacation rental cabins known as the Keddie Cabins. This is where Sue Sharp and her five children lived for a short time before disaster struck. What happened is horrific but also widely agreed upon, yet nobody was ever arrested for the crimes. The killers walked among us for years with no repercussions, and even to this day the case is considered unsolved. Beyond that, the question of why these murders took place is one of much debate, with some wild new theories presented here - so tune in and enjoy! Join us on instagram: True Crime CaliforniaEmail case suggestions to: truecrimecaliforniapod@gmail.comA proud member of the Darkcast NetworkiSources:https://www.plumasnews.com/keddie-murders-revisited/https://www.abc10.com/article/news/crime/true-crime/murder-in-cabin-28-keddie-murders-unsolved-california/103-1e3e7671-8c2c-4f4c-abb3-fae3ae07425e
