Happy Father's Day! For many this is a happy occasion and a time to celebrate, though the stories gathered here in honor of the holiday will leave you with a number of horrifying questions. What kind of dark secrets could drive a father towards an unhealthy obsession, abuse, or worse yet, to even kill his entire family? Could an unassuming father figure be driven by greed to commit a heinous crime that forever scars the date?
Join That's So Fucked Up, Twisted and Uncorked, PNW Haunts & Homicides, Weird Distractions, Ye Olde Crime, & Sandman Stories for a holiday collaboration of epic and horrifying proportions as we delve into cases that range from the heartbreaking to healing.
(0:03:00) - A Murder Most Foul in a Victorian Mansion
John List's prideful decision to hide his layoff from his family is often pointed to as the beginning of the end for the List family. One man’s perceived downfall would lead to the eventual murder of his entire family in a 19 room Victorian mansion.
(0:18:09) - Tragic Honor Killings
These twisted honor killings resulted in the death of two teenage girls following years of abuse and surveillance that they endured at their father’s own hands in his ruthless pursuit of control. Sadly, after Amina and Sarah were tracked down in Oklahoma they would be brutally executed by Yaser Abdel Said, the very many who should have loved them most.
(0:36:26) - The Father’s Day Bank Massacre
We’ll let you be the judge of the evidence presented in the Denver, Colorado case of the 1991 Father's Day Massacre. Was James King a precise and cunning killer who pulled off the perfect heist, or a convenient and unlucky scapegoat doomed to live out his days in solitude and under suspicion?
(0:45:42) - Deadly Dessert

(0:52:10) Yeeted into Old-Timey Familicide
This story takes us back to 1873, still years ahead of the Whitechapel slayings known as the canonical five, the victims of none other than Jack the Ripper. Though as you’ll soon learn, a dreadful murder, indeed, took place in London that year.
(1:03:55) - Sandman Stories
This Sandman Story tells of a mighty hunter, his children, and the sage wisdom of his wife. Listen and luxuriate in this tapestry of a tale for a moment of mindfulness or rest this Father’s Day.
