  • 118 • The Dead Man
    Aug 14 2024

    Dark Topic Cold.

    May 10th 1973. A masked man brandishing a pistol and a rifle, enters the CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce) in downtown Kenora, Ontario. A dead man’s switch that looks more like a duck whistle, is clenched between his teeth. The switch is connected to a bag slung over his shoulder which he claims to contain a bomb. Everybody better behave, or be blown to smithereens.

  • 116 • A Bad Actor
    Jun 27 2024

    www.patreon.com/darktopic for exclusives.

    This ep starts off a little odd for DT. I had a loss in my family that I shouldn't speak publicly about yet so I cut it. Also, this is a previously released on Patreon, but unreleased public ep of DT. Thanks for understanding. Although, this is confusing no doubt.

    July 12th 2013. A Friday afternoon in the quaint village of Richfield Wisconsin. A young woman attempting to walk her dog through a nature park is accosted by a would be rapist who jumps out from behind a van in the secluded spots parking area. Daniel Bartelt - a bad actor - would run away to regroup. And get it right in a repeat performance.

    David Shearing crept through the darkness of the old prison camp, to the fire-lit campsite of two grandparents, two parents, and two children. When the father of the girls that Shearing had come to see, got up to meet the approaching shadow - two hands gripping a .22 pump action rifle made this family camping trip all about one.

    Nineteen year old Brian Cohee JR, went for a cruise late one Saturday night in February of 2021. He wore coveralls, three pairs of gloves, and had a Michael Myers mask and large kitchen knife at the ready. When he found what seemed to be the perfect victim in sixty nine year old Warren Barnes - a homeless man well known in Grand Junction, Colorado - Cohee struck without mercy. The rest is a mess. Some of which his mother would discover in her strange son’s closet.
