    On Christmas Eve in 2008, Bruce Jeffrey Pardo dressed up in a Santa suit. He also gift-wrapped some weapons. He went to the home of his ex in-laws in Covina, California and opened fire. He killed nine people before taking his own life.

    In the final episode of the True Crime Society Podcast for 2024, we discuss the Covina Christmas Massacre.

    There has also been a big update in the case of ‘dead’ man Ryan Borgwardt. Ryan has returned to the United States of his own accord and is now facing obstruction charges, as well as possibly having to pay tens of thousands of dollars of restitution.

  • Always The Husband (Texas Edition) | The Murders of Suzanne Simpson & Christa Gilley

    Always The Husband (Texas Edition) | The Murders of Suzanne Simpson & Christa Gilley
    Dec 12 2024
    Timestamp to skip the intro chat - (6:51)

    According to the Bureau of Justice, the percentage of women murdered by an intimate partner is 5 times higher than it is for men. Of the estimated 4,970 female homicide victims in 2021, 34% were killed by an intimate partner.

    In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two separate cases where women have allegedly been murdered by their husbands.

    • Texas realtor and mother-of-four, Suzanne Simpson was last seen arguing with her husband Brad on the night of October 6, 2024. A neighbor reported hearing screams following the fight. Hours later, Brad purchased two bags of cement, a construction bucket with a lid, 32 trash bags and bleach. Police believe he killed Suzanne and dismembered and disposed of her body. Brad has been arrested and charged with murder, unlawful restraint, assault, tampering with evidence and possession of a prohibited weapon. Suzanne remains missing.

    • On October 7, 2024, Lee Gilley called 911 and said his pregnant wife Christa intentionally overdosed in an attempt to kill herself. Christa was taken to the hospital where she passed away. Doctors discovered that Christa’s injuries were not consistent with Lee’s story. An investigation determined that Christa had been strangled to death. Lee was arrested and charged with capital murder. In the weeks leading up to her death, Lee was engaging with online content about traditional gender roles and the belief that women should stay at home instead of having their own careers.

  • The Life & Death of One Direction Singer Liam Payne

    The Life & Death of One Direction Singer Liam Payne
    Dec 5 2024
    Skip the intro chat timestamp - (6:56)

    After auditioning for ‘The X Factor’ as a teen, Liam Payne was grouped together with Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson to form one of the best selling boy bands of all time -- One Direction.

    Throughout his career, Liam felt isolated and struggled with his mental health and sobriety. He said he was grateful when the band broke up because he knew the lifestyle would eventually kill him.

    On October 16, 2024, the manager of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires called police to report "an aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol."

    Police arrived at the hotel moments later and found Liam dead at the age of 31. He had fallen from a third floor balcony onto a courtyard below.

    Since his death, police have arrested three people alleging they supplied drugs to Liam multiple times before his fall.

    In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the tragic death of Liam Payne.

Great Podcast to add to your favorites!

I have to start my review with — I love their conversations before they dive into the case! I enjoy hearing what they are doing in their lives and how different the weather, activities, personal dynamics are yet they are still interested in the same things!

They do a great job reviewing both new and old cases. Their case conversations are both funny and insightful. They do a great job researching their cases and bringing the victims and their story to life.

My favorite crime podcast

You ladies are lovely. I find your podcast so enjoyable, even if it does murder and crime. Your episodes are well researched and I really like how you both talk about what's happening in your lives. Don't listen to the trolls who complain. Hope you keep the podcast going. It helps me get through my day. Thanks for all the work you put into it 💜

look forward to this podcast every week

Hosts are down to earth, thorough, and look at the case from multiple perspectives. Both hosts have such calming and beautiful voices. I like the discussions at the beginning. Feels like I'm getting caught up with my friends.
