Gruesomepodcast

You asked, we answered (and rambled)

Once again, thanks for giving us an excuse to hang out. You guys are the dopest of the dope. 

The Lane Bryant BTS

This one sucked.

We’re going to be answering your questions! Any random questions you want to ask? True Crime related or about us in general? Leave them below or message us and we’ll be recording our answers tonight and posting it for you guys!

The Michigan Murders

The faces to match the telling of the cases. And this week, there are a  lot of faces that Coni makes while Meg is destroying her week.

Do you guys want to hear us cover OJ Simpson or R. Kelly for our October Bonus Episode?

Instagram Close Friends

Happy Friday (AND HAPPY OCTOBER) Gruesome Gang. If you are following us on Instagram @gruesomepodcast and you have not seen any “Close Friends” posts. Please either comment your Instagram handle or message us. I’m struggling to find a lot of you guys on there and I don’t want you to miss any bonus content! Or even just random stuff that we have to tell someone 😂

YOU GUYS ARE SO GREAT. SRSLY. We say it every week, but we appreciate you guys so much. Our Patreon is what keeps us from having to have ads. So, thank you for your continued support (and understanding when we’re not as on top of stuff as we should be).

-Coni and Meg

September Bonus Episode!

You guys gave us some really great unsolved cases, so here you are! Here are our opinions on some of the cases you guys picked! 

Also -

Sorry for the delay this month. Hopefully by October we will be adjusted to our new routines and back to normal. As always, that you for your support every month. We wouldn't be Gruesome without you guys. 

Is there an Amish Mafia?

Bonus Content!

Some more *gruesome* pictures not suitable for social media.

THE infamous interview room

Some of the weapons used

6 feet worth of blood splatter

The shoe print

Behind the Scenes!

Enjoy Coni drinking a Bloody Mary and struggling to eat olives 

September Bonus Epi

This month we’re going to do the TOP FIVE UNSOLVED CRIMES. 

And obvi— We need your input! What cases do you believe rank in this category? 

Its kind of like you get 5 episodes in one this month 😂. Sound off below! 

Sarah Pender Extras

So, the first photo is Sarah's actual writing. The letter that is supposedly forged wasn't available, but you can at least get an idea of how she primarily wrote. The "forgery" is printed. The next is the confession letter from Richard Hull's affidavit post-conviction. The next photo is Drew Cataldi (right) and his brother Steve. When Sarah escaped, Indiana DOC did NOT contact any of Trish or Drew's family members to let them know. And finally, a photo of Trish Nordman- I know it's blurry, but it's the best I could find. 

Thoughts on this case? Guilty, not guilty, served her time? 

-Meg

Sarah Jo Pender

Our unedited episode! Enjoy the chaos. 

August Bonus Episode!

This month we are diving in to the rabbit hole of some of the well known conspiracies surrounding the 27 Club and other Hollywood cases. As always, thank you so much for supporting us every month. We couldn't do this without our Patrons. You guys keep Gruesome AD FREE every week. Let us know your thoughts below! 

THREAD: August Bonus Episode

Hello friends!

We're doing August a little differently for bonus episodes. We want to tackle some true-crime conspiracy theories. SO! Tell us and talk about all of your favorite true crime conspiracy theories here. 

I (Meg) am very invested in the Tupac/Biggie, Marilyn Monroe, Jonbenet conspiracies but we want you to sound off about your favorites on this post! 

Let's hear em! 

July Bonus Episode - The Ant Hill Kids

Man, you guys really gave us 2 back to back gnarly months. Roch Thériault was the worst of the worst who thought he was the Messiah. Like any true cult leader, he brainwashed his followers into doing unspeakable acts that were almost too difficult to research. This one was insane. Enjoy! (Only, not really because YIKES)

If Lisa Frank listened to Gruesome...

She might have made something like this. 

Please enjoy this ridiculous phone wallpaper I made you. 

Love,
Meg

Thanks #gruesomegang!

Hey buddies!

Our website has been updated with our loyal #gruesomegang contributors. 

If you don't see your name, want it displayed differently, or you don't want it displayed at all, please send us a message and we'll adjust accordingly. 

Again, thank you so much. Month after month you give us the warm and fuzzies and we appreciate you all endlessly! 

-Meg

July Bonus Episode

It’s that time again! Help us pick our July bonus episode!

Carl Panzram

Okay guys, you asked for it. The worst of the worst. A man so horrible that I (Coni) couldn't even spend the time editing like I usually do because I didn't want to listen to this story again. Nature vs Nurture? Brain damage from severe infections? Product of the system? We're going to dive into what made Carl Panzram, Carl Panzram. 

In case you didn’t see-

Hey Gruesome gang!!

Despite being 2 grown ass women with responsibilities, Coni and I definitely thought that June had 31 days. So! June’s bonus epi about Carl Panzram will drop TOMORROW on July 1st.

And it IS a doozy.

You are all the best, thank you so much for understanding. Feel free to laugh at our ignorance.

So much love,

Meg

Surprise! Early episode drop just for our Patrons!

Richard Dadd was a promising artist in the early 1800's. With his entire  life ahead of him, he suffered from a psychotic break that he believed  to be a spiritual possession. What caused this young painter to go mad  and commit an unspeakable crime? Coni takes you through this historic  case that sounds like it could come straight from a movie.

The Kičevo Monster

From 2004-2008 the city of Kičevo was terrorized by their first serial  killer. Dubbed The Kičevo Monster, terror spread through the small  mountain town in Macedonia. Who could be targeting these women? Coni takes you through this case that has all of the characteristics of a  Hollywood Thriller.

The Murder of Arlis Perry

Arlis Perry was brutally murdered in the church on Stanford Campus in  Palo Alto California in October 1974. In a time of "Satanic Panic",  coming off the heels of the Manson Family Murders, did Arlis cross paths  with a satanic cult? Could her murderer have been one of many infamous  serial killers who were active during the time of her death? Coni takes  you through the case that rocked the Stanford Campus for almost 50  years.

June Bonus Episode!

Time to choose the June bonus epi! Everyone can vote, but remember only our FBI agents have access to the epi at the end of the month! Should we cover the Colombian monster, Pedro Lopez? Or! Should we cover the crazy Carl Panzram? Voting will be up for a week! 

May Bonus Episode: Katherine Knight

Katherine Knight was the first woman to be sentenced to "Life in prison with no possibility for parole" in Australia. Coni and Meg take you through the horrific events that lead to the "NEVER TO BE RELEASED" stamp on her prison file. 

Murder Mystery Finale

The murderer is....

MEG.

Meg was feeling the pressure from all sides. Her best friend was upset with her. The love of her life was angry at her for taking on more stuff. She began to feel overwhelmed... Could she really handle another podcast with you? No. And of course her loyalties are with her people. She barely knows you. Actually, as far as Meg knows, the people at this party are the only people that know about this new podcast.

Who wants to have an awkward conversation and make someone upset? We could avoid that entirely if you were gone. That’s crazy, though.

Then, on the bus when everyone started snapping at each other, Meg’s chaos brain took over. She had swiped her crystal ball out of her bag when she lightened the load for Jorn. So, under the guise of calling the podcast off with you, and grabbing Jude’s bag, Meg quietly crept onto the bus and waited for you to come out. And you walked right into her chaos and anxiety fueled trap.

So much for good vibes.

Congrats Shaina for nailing it! You won a Gruesome tumbler and we’ll send it out in June! 💕💀

Murder Mystery - WHO DUNNIT?

This is the thread to post your guesses/theories/questions on!

Thank you so much for playing along. All I wanted this year was a murder mystery birthday party and all of you really let me make it happen. 

Now... 

WHO MURDERED YOU AND WHY DID THEY DO IT? 

Murder Mystery - Clue #3

CLUE #3: The Text

An unread text on the phone from Coni reads, “you better tell her or *skull emoji here*"

Murder Mystery - Clue #2

CLUE #2: The Murder Weapon

Lying in the standing room only shower is a softball-sized, clear quartz, crystal sphere. It is marked with blood. There is also some hair and skin stuck to it. This is the murder weapon. Several of the people who know Meg will recognize it as the one she keeps in her purse to “keep the energy positive” around her.
