It was supposed to be a night of pajamas and prosecco. A birthday sleepover with moms in the suburbs, drinking tequila, playing Cards Against Humanity, and pretending they still had personalities outside their kids. It was the kind of gathering people post about with captions like “Mom’s night in” and “So blessed to have this tribe.” But by morning, one woman was dead. Face-down in the backyard.

The official story? She fell. The camera footage was missing. One of the guests just happened to be a former law enforcement officer who later got caught accessing the case files. The woman who died wasn’t from their world—and by the looks of how things were handled, she never stood a chance of surviving it.

In this episode of True Terror on Tap, we crack into a case soaked in wine, wrapped in matching pajamas, and buried under silence. Twelve people stayed the night. Somehow, no one saw a thing. Welcome to the suburbs—where the only thing more dangerous than the cover stories are the people who tell them.

In this episode of True Terror on Tap we go over a man, most people know the name Lewis Carroll because of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
The story is remembered as strange, whimsical, and harmless.

The man who wrote it was not.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson lived a life that was anything but ordinary. His world was built on strict habits, hidden obsessions, and a deep, unnatural attachment to children — especially young girls.

This is not a full history of his life.
It is a look at the parts most people avoid: the patterns, the behavior, and the questions that were uncomfortable even in his own time.

What you find here isn't rumor or exaggeration.
It's the story of a man who lived quietly among one of the world’s most powerful universities — while hiding things in plain sight.

Enjoy and thanks for listening!

December 18th, 2011. A car’s left running in the middle of East St. Louis. Door open. Shoes on the floor. ID still sitting pretty.

Local cops showed up, yawned, and said, "Meh, probably nothing."

Spoiler: it wasn’t nothing.

This week on True Terror on Tap, we cover the case of Phoenix Coldon—where lazy police work, a running SUV, and two missing hours turned into a mystery no one bothered to solve.

We don't make fun of the victims. But the clowns who fumbled this case? Fair game.

This is True Terror on Tap.
