In 1930s Buffalo, New York, a grieving widow sat hunched over a Ouija board, desperate to hear from her dead husband. The planchette moved, spelling out a chilling message: “They killed me.” The spirit named a culprit, Clotilde Marchand, a petite Frenchwoman, mother of four, and the wife of a well-known sculptor. Days later, Clotilde opened her front door to an accusation of witchcraft…and never lived to close it again. Dubbed the “Ouija Board Murder,” this case shocked Buffalo’s art world, fueled public hysteria about séances and spirit boards, and left behind a trail of questions that linger to this day. Was Nancy Bowen a vulnerable woman manipulated into killing? Was Lila Jimerson a believer or a schemer? And who really wrote the mysterious letters that pointed to Clotilde as a witch? This is the story of obsession, betrayal, and the deadly power of belief in the beyond.

In tonight’s episode of Serial Napper, we’re diving into the twisted case of Chelsea Perkins—better known online as OnlyFans model Sabrina Savage. Chelsea claimed she was tired of being a victim, and in 2021, she tracked down the man she said raped her, 31-year-old musician and father of two, Matthew Dunmire. She lured him out under the guise of reconnecting, drove him into Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and shot him in the back of the head. But Chelsea wasn’t the only one fueled by revenge. As investigators built their airtight case against her, Matthew’s grieving parents launched a deadly plan of their own, one that ended in even more tragedy. This is a story about obsession, about the fallout when justice feels out of reach, and about how revenge rarely ends where you think it will.

On the surface, Charlie Brandt looked like a quiet, ordinary man who loved fishing, drinking, and his wife, Teri. But in 2004, when he murdered Teri and brutally killed his niece Michelle Jones before hanging himself, investigators uncovered a nightmare decades in the making. This episode dives into Charlie’s violent past, beginning at age 13 when he killed his mother—the secrets his family buried, and the trail of victims he likely left behind. From the confirmed murder of Sherry Perisho to cold cases eerily matching his signature brutality, we’ll piece together how one man hid his darkness in plain sight. What makes a serial killer? Was Charlie a product of trauma, a family that refused to face the truth, or something much darker? And how many victims will never be known?

In 1995, 17-year-old Nathan Brooks promised his classmates he’d be “famous by Saturday.” What no one realized was just how horrifyingly true that would become. On September 30th, in Bellaire, Ohio, Nathan murdered his parents in what he believed was a satanic ritual — shooting and decapitating his father, stabbing and bludgeoning his mother, and leaving behind a chilling hit list of names that included his own brother. The brutality of the crime shook the entire town, cancelling Halloween and sparking decades of fear and questions about how no one stopped him sooner. Almost thirty years later, Nathan Brooks is serving a life sentence but is now eligible for parole. Has he changed, or are some crimes too horrific for second chances? Join me as we unpack the warning signs, the murders, the trial, and the ongoing debate over whether the so-called “Devil in Bellaire” should ever walk free again.

Hope “Onyx” Cornish was just 18 years old when her life was stolen inside her Caldwell, Idaho home. Bold, stylish, and unapologetically herself, Onyx was queer, trans, and known for her kindness, empathy, and fierce individuality. She was thriving—sober for over a year, in a new relationship, working shifts at Wendy’s—when her adoptive father, Delbert Cornish, carried out a plan he admitted he had been thinking about for more than a year. On August 18, 2025, Delbert shot his daughter in the head, then draped her body in a Pride flag in what he later claimed was a twisted gesture of “honor.” He wrote suicide notes on the walls, killed her cat, and confessed that he had wanted to kill all of his children before taking his own life. Onyx’s younger brother fought back, disarming him and escaping, saving his own life in the process. Now, Delbert faces charges of first-degree murder, aggravated assault, and animal cruelty. Prosecutors say their case is built on overwhelming evidence, including Delbert’s own confessions and notes. A trial date is set for January 2026. Meanwhile, Onyx’s family, friends, and community continue to mourn and demand justice—not just in the courtroom, but in how she is remembered: as an outspoken, radiant teen who lived authentically in a world that too often wanted her quiet.

When 16-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick picked up the phone to call 911, she said she had just found her mother and stepfather brutally murdered in their Carroll County, Georgia home. Her 5-year-old sister made the gruesome discovery first, walking into their bedroom to see the unimaginable. But months later, investigators say Sarah wasn’t just a witness—she was the killer. Charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault, Sarah now faces the rest of her life in prison. In this episode, we’ll walk through the disturbing case that has left a small southern community in shock: the custody battles, the chaotic family history, Sarah’s haunting eulogy at the funeral, and her bizarre social media activity where she allegedly reached out to true crime bloggers before her arrest. Was Sarah a cold-blooded teen murderer, or is there more to this story than meets the eye?

In July 2005, 19-year-old Army Private First Class LaVena Johnson was found dead on a U.S. base in Balad, Iraq. The Army ruled it a suicide. Her family has spent nearly two decades saying otherwise. From the very beginning, the official story didn’t add up. The gunshot wound was inconsistent with her M16 rifle. Her body showed burns, bruises, and evidence of sexual assault. Acid had been poured on her, gloves glued to her hands, and her body was discovered inside a burning contractor’s tent — details that somehow never made it into the Army’s report. The Johnson family has fought relentlessly for answers, uncovering documents, autopsy reports, and crime scene photos that point to murder and a cover-up. But nearly twenty years later, the case remains closed, stamped as “suicide.” This episode looks at who LaVena was, what really happened to her in Iraq, and why her family refuses to let the truth be buried.

On March 4, 2001, 11-year-old Bethany Markowski vanished during what was supposed to be a routine weekend visit with her father, Larry. He says she went into the Old Hickory Mall in Jackson, Tennessee, while he napped in the van. But there’s one big problem—security footage shows no sign she was ever there. In this episode, we’ll dig into Bethany’s life before she disappeared, the volatile custody battle between her parents, and the messy, conflicting timeline that day. We’ll talk about phone pings that don’t match Larry’s story, witnesses who contradict his version of events, and the eerie gaps in time where no one—not even her own family—knows where Bethany was. We’ll also explore the strange reported sightings over the years, including a chilling 2016 case where a girl in East Tennessee claimed she was Bethany…and knew details only Bethany could have known. Twenty-plus years later, her mother, Jonnie, is still fighting to find her daughter, still pushing for answers, and still calling out the system that failed to protect Bethany in the first place. If you have any information about the disappearance of Bethany Markowski, please contact the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.

In August 2004, 12-year-old Boy Scout Garrett Bardsley vanished in Utah’s High Uintas Wilderness — just 150 feet from his campsite. He had been fishing with his father at Cuberant Lake when he stepped into cold water, soaking his shoes and socks. Garrett told his dad he was heading back to camp to change… but he never arrived. What followed was one of the largest search efforts in the state’s history — hundreds of searchers, helicopters, dogs, and thermal imaging — but no sign of Garrett was ever found. Not his fishing pole. Not his clothes. Only a single sock, later disputed as even being his. In this episode of Serial Napper, we explore the mysterious disappearance of Garrett Bardsley, the theories of what could have happened in the rugged Uintas terrain, and the heartbreaking legacy left behind — including the creation of the Garrett Bardsley Foundation, which continues to help in search and rescue operations today. Could Garrett have gotten lost? Was there an animal encounter? Or did something more sinister happen in those mountains? 🕵️‍♀️ If you have any information on this case, contact the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.

In December 1987, 12-year-old Trina Campbell stepped off her school bus in Brampton, Ontario—and vanished. She had survived a traumatic childhood, bounced through the foster system, and was just beginning to settle into a new group home. But the system that was supposed to protect her failed. Again. Months later, her butchered remains were found in a wooded area north of the city—dumped like garbage by a man who should have never been free. Douglas Worth was a known violent offender with a decades-long criminal record, including the rape of another young Indigenous girl. He was released from prison just six months before Trina’s murder, despite multiple warnings that he was a high-risk predator. And now, in July 2025, he’s been released on parole again—this time into a quiet community in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. This episode is about more than a murder. It’s about systemic failure, generational trauma, and a justice system that continues to roll the dice with women’s and children’s lives. 🔍 In this episode, we cover: Trina’s heartbreaking upbringing and disappearance Douglas Worth’s disturbing history and escalating violence The chilling discovery of Trina’s remains A trial that brought no closure—only outrage His recent 2025 parole and the terrifying reality of his release This case will leave you angry, shaken, and wondering how many more Trinas will be failed before something changes. 🖤 If you or someone you know is in danger or experiencing abuse, please reach out to a local support service or crisis line.

In this deeply disturbing episode, we’re digging into the twisted double life of David Fuller—a seemingly friendly hospital maintenance worker who was hiding some of the darkest secrets imaginable. In 1987, the murders of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce rocked the quiet town of Tunbridge Wells. For decades, the case went cold—until a DNA breakthrough in 2020 pointed to one man. But what police found after his arrest would shock the nation. Fuller didn’t just kill. He used his job at two NHS hospitals to secretly access the morgue and sexually abuse the bodies of over 100 women and girls, ranging in age from 9 to 100. He kept detailed records. He filmed himself. And he went unnoticed for over 30 years. In this episode, we’ll cover: 🔹 The unsolved Bedsit Murders 🔹 The DNA match that cracked the case 🔹 The horrifying mortuary abuse 🔹 His rare whole-life sentence 🔹 The NHS inquiry—and whether this could happen again ⚠️ Warning: This episode contains graphic content, including discussions of sexual violence and necrophilia.

In 1999, 15-year-old Rachel Barber walked out of her ballet class and vanished. What followed was every parent's worst nightmare—and a chilling tale of obsession, identity theft, and murder. This week on Serial Napper, I’m diving deep into the haunting case of Rachel Barber, a gifted young dancer whose life was stolen by someone she thought she could trust: her former babysitter, Caroline Reed Robertson. Rachel was vibrant, talented, and full of promise. Caroline was quiet, isolated, and desperate to be someone else—someone like Rachel. What unfolded was a dark and deeply disturbing story of jealousy turned deadly. From Caroline’s twisted diary entries to her shocking murder plan that involved assuming Rachel’s identity, we break down every step leading up to that tragic day, the police investigation, and the chilling court revelations.

Grace Millane was just 22 years old when she set out on the adventure of a lifetime — a solo trip around the world. Smart, independent, and full of life, she was exploring New Zealand when she matched with a man on Tinder. What happened next shocked the world. In this episode of Serial Napper, I dive into the heartbreaking case of Grace Millane — a young British traveller whose life was tragically cut short in what was supposed to be one of the safest countries in the world. I follow Grace’s journey, her final hours, and the disturbing cover-up attempts by her killer, Jesse Kempson. This case isn’t just about one woman’s tragic end — it’s a gut-wrenching look at how quickly trust can be weaponized and how society continues to question victims rather than the people who harm them. 🔗 TW: This episode contains details of sexual assault, violence, and murder.

When interior designer Jade Janks discovered hundreds of explicit photos of herself hidden on her stepfather’s computer — some dating back to when she was just 16 — her world shattered. Days later, Tom Merriman, co-founder of a beloved butterfly sanctuary in Encinitas, California, was dead. What happened in the hours between that horrific discovery and Tom’s final breath? Was it premeditated murder... or a panicked act of vigilante justice? In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most disturbing and controversial cases in recent memory. From shocking screenshots and deleted hard drives to text messages like, “I just dosed the hell out of him,” this case is layered in betrayal, trauma, and moral gray areas that’ll leave you questioning everything. Was Jade seeking justice, or hiding a crime? Hit play — and then you be the judge.

On the morning of November 13, 2016, fertility doctor Dr. Eric Scott Sills called 911 from his San Clemente home, claiming he had found his wife, Susann Sills, unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs. He said she’d fallen. But the scene told a far more chilling story. In this episode of Serial Napper, I dig into the suspicious death of 45-year-old Susann Sills—an ambitious, witty, and driven woman who helped build a successful fertility clinic alongside her husband. While her death was initially believed to be an accident, forensic evidence, troubling text messages, and a twisted courtroom theory involving the family dogs told a very different tale. Nearly two and a half years after Susann’s death, Dr. Sills was arrested and charged with her murder. This case would unfold over years, full of bizarre claims, devastating testimony from their children, and one of the most unusual defences we’ve ever heard in a true crime trial.

On New Year’s Eve 2012, beloved kindergarten teacher Noelle Paquette disappeared after leaving a party alone. Less than two days later, her body was discovered in a wooded area outside Sarnia, Ontario, brutally taken by two strangers with a twisted fantasy that turned into a nightmare. In this episode of Serial Napper, I unravel the disturbing and heartbreaking case of Noelle Paquette: a woman remembered for her kindness, selflessness, and radiant spirit. You’ll hear how a nurse and a 19-year-old man connected through a BDSM fetish website and plotted an unthinkable crime. I take you through the investigation, shocking confessions, and the emotional courtroom impact statements that left a community shaken. But this isn’t just a story of tragedy. It’s also a story of legacy. Noelle’s memory lives on through Noelle’s Gift Foundation, which has raised over $150,000 to support children and families in need, just as Noelle did during her life. This episode is graphic and emotionally intense, so listener discretion is advised.

When 38-year-old Kacee Lyn Terry was found unresponsive in her Utah bedroom in August 2024, everyone believed her years-long battle with cancer had finally come to an end. But what unfolded next would shock her family, friends, and the entire community. In this episode of Serial Napper, we’re diving into the twisted case of Kacee Terry and Meggan Randall Sundwall — a licensed nurse and former friend who now stands accused of aggravated murder. Investigators say Meggan not only convinced Kacee that she was terminally ill, but also orchestrated a slow, calculated plan to end her life — with a $1.5 million life insurance payout at the center of it all. We’ll unpack the chilling evidence, including more than 28,000 text messages exchanged between the two women, deleted phone data, and the use of insulin on a woman who was not diabetic. We’ll also break down the legal implications around assisted suicide and Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) laws in both Utah and Canada, and what obligations nurses have when it comes to end-of-life care. Was this a mercy killing, a manipulative con, or something even darker? Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics including medical deception, suicide, and end-of-life care. Listener discretion is advised.

Let’s go down the rabbit hole of another baffling and heartbreaking case — one that had an entire country glued to their phones, refreshing for updates, and questioning what they thought they knew about missing persons. This time, we’re heading to the quiet, idyllic village of St Michael’s on Wyre in Lancashire, a place that sounds like it belongs in a cozy countryside novel, not the center of a global media firestorm. But that’s exactly what happened when Nicola Bulley, a 45-year-old mom of two and mortgage adviser, vanished without a trace while walking her dog on the morning of January 27, 2023. Her phone was still connected to a Teams work call. Her dog was found loose but unharmed. And Nicola? Completely gone. While police leaned toward the theory that she’d fallen into the river, others weren’t so sure. Abduction theories exploded, internet sleuths packed their ring lights and headed to Lancashire, and suddenly Nicola’s deeply personal information was being broadcast for the world to scrutinize — all while her devastated family tried to make sense of their new reality.

Tonight’s case is one that rattled a small seaside town in Ireland — and left the entire country asking: how can someone vanish without a trace… in their own home? The last time anyone outside of her household saw Tina Satchwell alive was on March 19, 2017. She and her husband, Richard, were browsing through bargains at a local car boot sale. By all accounts, it was just a regular Sunday. No drama. No suspicious behaviour. Nothing that would suggest that just one day later, Tina would be gone. According to Richard, Tina asked him to make a trip to Aldi the following morning, March 20. He left their home in Youghal around 10 a.m., grabbed a few things from the store, and got back at 2 p.m. But when he walked through the door, Tina wasn’t there. Her keys were on the floor. Her phone was on the table. Her beloved dogs were still inside the house, alone. But she… was gone. It wasn’t until four days later that Richard contacted Tina’s family — and then the Gardaí — to report her missing. He claimed she’d taken off with two suitcases, a stash of cash totalling around €26,000, and seemingly no plan to come back. That’s when the mystery deepened. Despite extensive investigations, forensic searches, and even international tips, every lead led to a dead end. Tina Satchwell had vanished — and no one could figure out how or why. But just when everyone began to believe this case might remain unsolved forever… a shocking discovery turned everything upside down.

Picture this: a young girl, clearly distressed, was found loitering near the General Post Office on bustling O’Connell Street. She’s alone, silent, and seemingly terrified. When two police officers in Ireland approach her, she doesn’t — or won’t — speak English. But she somehow manages to get one thing across: she’s 14 years old. The only other clues? Some haunting doodles of an airplane, a bed, and a gun. Not exactly the kind of thing you’d find in your average teen’s sketchbook. Authorities begin to suspect she might be a victim of sex trafficking. It’s not long before Interpol and the Missing Persons Bureau get involved, and the media latches on. Headlines scream: Who is GPO Girl? With no solid leads and a growing public obsession, the police make a bold move — they go public. Her photo, snapped on the sly, is released… and when the sun rises on the southern hemisphere, the real story finally comes to light. Because GPO Girl? Yeah, she wasn’t a teenager. She wasn’t trafficked. And she definitely wasn’t who she claimed to be. She was Samantha Azzopardi — a 25-year-old Australian woman with a suitcase full of lies and a long history of reinvention. Her stint in Dublin was just one chapter in a globe-trotting tale of deceit, delusion, and downright bizarre behaviour.  Sources: https://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/courts-law/principal-predator-malka-leifer-and-schoolgirl-conwoman-samantha-azzopardi-shared-kiss-behind-bars/news-story/22def31a59175d16bcd00cdc4b5b7a20 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-57284621 https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/she-even-managed-to-fool-gardai-true-crime-series-con-girl-exposes-the-many-lives-and-lies-of-samantha-azzopardi/42357359.html https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/missing-teenage-girl-found-in-dublin-identified-as-25-year-old-australian-1.1586181 https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/may/29/disturbed-au-pair-who-created-false-identities-given-two-years-jail-in-victoria https://www.crave.ca/FR/tv-shows/con-girl https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/the-downfall-of-australias-baby-faced-serial-scam-artist/YRWIFKNC6FHLCUSHVNCB25JBX4/#google_vignette https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/con-girl-true-story-what-happened-samantha-azzopardi/ https://www.womensweekly.com.au/news/samantha-azzopardi-true-story/ Follow me here: ► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/ ► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/ ► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/ ► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik  *Go Ad-Free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SerialNapper * I will be in London at CrimeCon UK and I would love to meet you!
