    #567 - Til Murder Do Us Part - Lebanon, Maine
    Feb 6 2025

    This week, in Lebanon, Maine, a wild plot develops, leading to two brutal murders, and a hunt for a kidnapped woman. It's an awful ordeal, as the woman's ex husband, and his new girlfriend take her to a distant motel to try to convince her that both women can be his wives, and she should come back to him. It's a race against time to find the woman, before she ends up with the same fate as the others. Will she be found alive??


    Along the way, we find out that death metal bands really need to get logos that you can actually read, that some people can be different people behind closed doors, and that when you bring a shotgun, assault rifle, multiple knives, a pipe, duct tape, and rope... you're looking to do more than talk!!

  • #566 - Zombie Wife - Springfield, Tennessee

    #566 - Zombie Wife - Springfield, Tennessee
    Feb 1 2025

    This week, in Springfield, Tennessee, a very calm 911 call, in the middle of the night, reveals a man who claims to have killed his wife, and put her in a freezer... only to have her "come back to life", causing him to flee. What detectives discover is a horrible scene, and a VERY dead woman. What happened? Will they catch this man?? It's an absolutley wild story!!


    Along the way, we find out that this town is a mecca for country music video filming, that it's extremely weird to give a 911 dispatcher a totally calm recounting of a murder, and that if you shoot someone, partially dismember, and freeze them, they definitely aren't coming back to life!!

  • #565 - The Fugitive Temptress - Princeton, West Virginia

    #565 - The Fugitive Temptress - Princeton, West Virginia
    Jan 30 2025

    This week, in Princeton, West Virginia, a brutal murder takes place, in a rural backyard, spreading blood & brain matter all over the victim's horrified wife. It looks like an attempted robbery, until detectives do some digging, and find that it's actually a pretty crazy conspiracy, involving sex & greed. When one of the main suspects disappears, the whole thing is becomes a national story, as everyone searches for "The Fugitive Temptress"!! Plus, a special bonus murder!!


    Along the way, we find out that your town shouldn't consider Applebee's to be "night life", that sometimes people must be attracted to things in people that NO ONE else sees, and that if you're going to plan a murder, you should pick a better crew than a drug addict, and a "first degree dirtbag"!!

Not the same old murder cases

James researches and writes about the murder cases and Jimmy hears about the cases when we do so his reactions are real and express the shock and horror that the rest of us feel. James provides an overview of the town and sometimes the times since some of the murders are from the 1970s or 1980s. The best part of this podcast is these two cover cases that have not been done on every other true crime podcast and have only covered a handful of cases that I have heard on other podcasts. A side benefit of this podcast is James's books suggestions. I've listened to several of the books that he has suggested and I enjoyed all of them.

Potato revolver or mom pee-er? Can't decide.

" You pee on your mom and then we will talk about zombies. "

YAYYYYYY!!!

So glad I can finally review STM! Never did figure that out on Google podcasts. These guys are hilarious! The number of times I have cracked up and had to pull over while driving is just... innumerable. I die every time James says "it's just haw-rrible" in his NY accent. Jimmie is a sessy beast with a heart of gold. These guys make murder fun 😜

Listen to these guys

They threatened to kick me in the balls if I didn’t leave them a good review. They’re lucky I actually love the show. Listen to the podcast for stories you’ve probably never heard of and for the jokes.

The BEST True Crime Podcast

My absolute favorite true crime podcast. James & Jimmie together are lightning in a bottle. James' deep research, and ability to find the unknown stories,, surpasses all other podcasts. His storytelling abilities are topnotch. Jimmie is, well, Jimmie. These two friends knock it out of the park every week!

Love you guys so much!

These guys are great! Fun laughing at small towns (just like the one I live in) with stories that hook you and make you cringe at the same time. My husband and I have become fans - we listen every weekend after the kids go to bed. Carry on Jimmie and James! :)
