Episode 65 - Ronald Gene Simmons - The Devil of Pope County

This month, Spine-Chilling Chats heads into the heart of the Natural State—where the scenery may be beautiful, but the stories are anything but.

We kick things off with the very recent shocking and heartbreaking double homicide of Clinton and Cristen Brink, a couple brutally murdered while hiking in Devil’s Den State Park with their two young daughters. Their alleged killer, Andrew James McGann, has been arrested and is currently awaiting trial.

Then, Ang takes us back to Christmas of 1987, when Ronald Gene Simmons carried out one of the most horrific mass murders in U.S. history. After years of abusing and controlling his family, Gene killed 14 of his own family members—along with two others—in a chilling spree that stunned the nation.

From recent tragedy to historical horror, Arkansas is serving up a month of horror you won’t soon forget! Trigger warning for incestual sexual abuse, emotional abuse and murder including that of children. Please take care while listening.
