About this listen
Two men. One van. A pact with pure evil.
In the late 1970s, California’s highways became a hunting ground for Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, a pair of sadistic killers who transformed their van—The Murder Mac—into a mobile torture chamber. Their goal? To abduct, assault, and brutally murder young women, capturing their suffering on tape for their own twisted pleasure.
Now, in The Devil’s Pact, forensic expert Dr. Eleanor H. Cross exposes the terrifying journey of two men who went from prison buddies to one of the most feared predator duos in history. This audiobook is a descent into madness, piecing together their crimes, the haunting evidence, and the relentless pursuit of justice that finally put an end to their reign of terror.
This audiobook will take you deep into:
- The formation of a deadly partnership–how two psychopaths found each other behind bars.
- The mechanics of terror–a van designed for death and the gruesome details of their crimes.
- The victims' final moments–disturbing recordings that even hardened investigators couldn’t unhear.
- The relentless investigation–how detectives finally caught the killers before they could strike again.
- The courtroom showdown–shocking revelations and a fight for justice.
- The lasting horror–how their crimes still haunt families and investigators decades later.
WARNING: This audiobook is not for the faint of heart. The darkness within this audiobook is real, and once you hear their story, you may never feel truly safe again.
If you think you can handle the terrifying true story of the Toolbox Killers, listen now—but be warned: the fear won’t fade when you press stop.

Story
At twenty-five years old, Michael Stewart was a young Black aspiring artist, deejay, and model, looking to make a name for himself in the vibrant downtown art scene of the early 1980’s New York City. On September 15, 1983, he was brutally beaten by New York City Transit Authority police for allegedly tagging a 14th Street subway station wall. Witnesses reported officers beating him with Billy clubs and choking him with a nightstick. Stewart arrived at Bellevue Hospital hog-tied with no heartbeat and died after thirteen days in a coma.

Story
Shortly before dusk on November 3, 1870, just as the ferryboat El Capitan was pulling away from its slip into San Francisco Bay, a woman clad in black emerged from the shadows and strode across the crowded deck. Reaching under her veil, she drew a small pistol and aimed it directly at a well-dressed man sitting quietly with his wife and children. The woman fired a single bullet into his chest. “I did it and I don’t deny it,” she said when arrested shortly thereafter. “He ruined me and my daughter.”

Story
Fewer than twelve hours after her body was found and without any evidence, police decided a married couple from Denver had killed her. Within a few days, they arrested and charged Nancy Styler, a friend of Pfister's who'd had a falling out with her after a business deal went sour, and Dr. Trey Styler, Nancy's disabled husband, who recently lost the family home, his medical practice, and any hope of a peaceful retirement for himself and his wife. Eleven days later, police also arrested and charged Kathy Carpenter, Pfister's underpaid and overworked personal assistant and closest friend.

In June 1990, Ronald Baker, a straight-A UCLA student, was found repeatedly stabbed to death in a tunnel near Spahn Ranch, where Charles Manson and his followers once lived. Shortly thereafter, Detective Rick Jackson and his partner, Frank Garcia, were assigned the case. Yet the facts made no sense. Who would have a motive to kill Ron Baker in such a grisly manner? Was the proximity to the Manson ranch related to the murder? And what about the pentagram pendant Ron wore around his neck? Jackson and Garcia soon focused their investigation on Baker’s two male roommates, one Black, and one white.
