Genevieve Lewis and Steven Cornish were brutally murdered while walking on a beautiful beach on the island of St. Thomas.  The murder by machete was brutal, gory and witnessed by many. Daniel St. Clair's defense was, of course, insanity.  The prosecution disagreed stating that his belief in voodoo steered his choices that fateful day.  It's a classic case of Voodoo Prosecution VS. The Insanity Defense.

72 year old Andre Bamberski seemed like an unlikely kidnapper.  He was a mild mannered but tenacious accountant. The victim was a 74 year old physician and step father to Andre's children.  These two men, who in many ways led parallel lives, also had one big difference between them.  One was a serial rapist and murderer, the other a devoted father who wanted justice for his daughter and worked for 30 years towards that goal.  Java House website:  https://javahouse.com/ Code: Twisted10 DONATE: One time: https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3248826752172032881 Monthly: https://anchor.fm/twisted-travel-and-true-c/support Social Media Links: https://www.facebook.com/twistedtravelandtruecrime https://www.instagram.com/twistedtravelandtrue_crime https://www.tiktok.com/@twistedtravelandtruecrim?lang=en Gmail:  twistedtravelandtruecrime@gmail.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/twisted-travel-and-true-c/support

Amber Peck and John Parker were looking for peace, quiet and to connect with nature and each other when they went camping in Ocala National Forest.  Sullying the beauty of nature was another man,  one with no good intentions.  In fact, he entered the woods with one reason.  The purpose of his trip was to kill someone in the forest but he didn't care who.  How does someone make a decision like that?  This case is one for the nurture side of the nature vs. nurture debate.

It was quiet in the jail cell holding 47 year old Jollyamma Joseph, except for the sound of a faint scratching and what might be interpreted as a moan.   This sound woke one of Jolly's cell mates who glanced across the dimly lit room. Something wasn't right, so she looked a little harder then called for the guards.   Jolly was found bleeding her cell. Her bed and the wall next to it was covered in blood. She had bitten through the tissue on her wrists in an attempt to kill herself. In order to keep her wounds open and bleeding, she had repeatedly  rubbed her wrists on the wall.  Many believed this stunt to be a plea for sympathy from her friends and neighbors who once adored her, but now saw her as an evil murderess and manipulator.

In 2010, Sue Neill Fraser was convicted of murdering her husband one year earlier. Her case is far from closed though as she has many supporters who refuse to give up on her and feel that she is innocent. Her partners body has never been found and her conviction was based on circumstantial evidence. She has never waivered in her claim of innocence but her extremely wavering recollections of her actions on the day and night of her partners disappearance were her downfall.  If you like nice and tidy, open and closed cases, this is not the episode for you.  Two of the main characters stories change quicker than you can catch the Delta Variant.

It was undoubtedly one of the most horrific murders in Wilmington history. The body of a disemboweled woman was found in a wooded area off Shipyard Boulevard, February 22, 1990. It would turn out to be a 32-year old woman named Talana Kreeger.  This murder was called a hate crime and would lead to some fantastic changes in the way the LGBTQ community would be treated in Wilmington.  At the time there wasn't much news about her murder or about Talana as her friends were told that  they shouldn't mourn to publicly for her because she was gay and that shouldn't be in the news.  Let's change that.  DONATE: One time: https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3248826752172032881 Monthly: https://anchor.fm/twisted-travel-and-true-c/support Social Media Links: https://www.facebook.com/twistedtravelandtruecrime https://www.instagram.com/twistedtravelandtrue_crime https://www.tiktok.com/@twistedtravelandtruecrim?lang=en Gmail:  twistedtravelandtruecrime@gmail.com Research: https://www.wect.com/2021/08/30/crimes-cape-fear-man-gets-death-penalty-after-claiming-gay-panic-defense-brutal-murder/ http://www.socialworkersspeak.org/hollywood-connection/documentary-on-murder-of-talana-kreeger-to-raise-awareness-of-lgbt-hate-crimes.html https://www.parkviewproject.com/crime https://www.theassemblync.com/short-form/speaking-into-a-void/ https://law.justia.com/cases/north-carolina/supreme-court/1992/501a91-0.html --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/twisted-travel-and-true-c/support

Let me set a scene for you. It’s a busy shopping center, on a busy Saturday afternoon.  A mentally exhausted worker from a Burger King restaurant is taking a smoke break outside. A young woman walks by him. He remembers her because she was with an abusive customer who got upset, cursing and swearing over some small problem with his order. The woman is beautiful. She has long dark hair and a slight build. The man she’s with is large. There was another woman too, but he doesn’t see her anymore. The dark-haired woman makes eye contact and then suddenly drops a balled up paper towel on the table where he sitting. It blows off and slides to the floor landing at his feet. After she’s walked by, he picks it up and reads the following words, "Don’t make a scene but I am a missing person. Please call the police. Please act normal. Don’t say anything, just call the police." He looks back at this woman, disbelief on his face. He’s probably thinking he must be being pranked by some TV show or some "tik-tok"er who wants some views. He looks around but he doesn’t see any cameras. Then he remembers the way the man was and how silent, quiet and subdued the dark haired woman was. He decides he needs to call the police.

Moulay Hassen, also known as Moulay the Nightingale and the Ogre of Fez has quite an interesting history. By the time Moulay had reached 47 years old she had been running a fairly exclusive harem in one of her three homes in Fez, Morocco. For many years, there had been whispers about this woman who was once beautiful but now had a face and a heart as hard as the jewels she wore all over her body. There were whispers of murders and torture so fantastic that they eventually reached the ears of the ruling French class. The gossip resulted in  entertained smiles because the skeptical ears believed no modern woman, especially one who was rich, privileged and influential, could be such an evil person.  They were mistaken.

Thomas Gimeno planned and secretly plotted the worst  and most spiteful “revenge” possible against his ex-wife.  He set sail with his two daughters who were only 1 and 6 years old, on April 27th of this year.  The next day his boat was found adrift with no one aboard.  He was up to no good. His actions that night were despicable and authorities are still searching for him by land, sea and air.

Is murder ever justified?  Yes, you say, it it's self defense.  I agree but what if you take self defense out of the equation?  Maybe you are thinking, well if the person is a murderer themselves and that person is sentenced to death. That might be ok, too.   Are there more instances where murder is justified?   The sailor in the story I’m about to share with you believed that it was. He hoped others would believe him too.  Today’s case is about sailors aboard the Mignonette who did something so terrible, they feared for their own souls.

Michelina Lewandowska, 27 years old and a young mother, was tasered with a stun gun multiple times.  She was then bound and gagged and shoved into a cardboard box. Her one-time fiancé Marcin Kasprzak taped the box closed and attempted to murder her by burying her alive. Then  Michelina, incredibly brave and strong-willed, escaped from her shallow grave in the woods. She slashed her way free from her bindings using the engagement ring she continued to wear in the hopes that she and her lover could reconcile.

Incest, pedophilia, and rape are not the things you want in your mind when your are thinking of an island paradise.  More likely, cold drinks, warm sand and sun are at the top of your list.  Sadly, what many believe to be an island paradise was rocked with allegations of sexual depravity when several young local  girls came forward with information about several of the men living on Pitcairn Island.  This scandal rocked the small community, then the world and revealed over a century of what could be described factually as deep rooted moral depravity.

‘I held still’, she said. Kirby Morel pretended to be dead in order to survive a knife attack on the Appalachian Trail.  She had just witnessed a friend being stabbed to death by the same killer.  She then had to hike 6 miles or 10 kms through the dark to find  help.  She was bleeding profusely, unable to use one of her arms. She tried to use duct tape to patch her injured leg which kept spurting blood, but there was too much.

The Cropsey Urban legend is a staple on Staten Island in New York.  Most of the children who grow up in the area have heard of the escaped mental patient who lives in the tunnels under the abandoned hospital. This version or similar stories tell of a crazy man who has an affinity for naughty children and would come out at night and snatch them.  They would disappear forever.  This well known tale unfortunately, like many tall tales and spooky nursery rhymes, has some basis in reality.  Cropsey may be based on a  real life serial killer named Andre Rand  who preyed on some of the weakest people, children and even worse, mentally disabled children.

Did they fight to save their boat and their lives?  Did they look into the faces of their attackers or was it an ambush?  Did the killers approach them silently or did they betray the couple acting like friends to gain their trust?  Who died first and did the other have to bear witness?  These are just a few of the many questions  left behind in the wake of the ghost ship, the Kalia 3.  The only witness, a domestic boat cat named Gypsy,  was unable to tell the story of Bill and Patty Kamerer. They were killed aboard their home, the Kalia 3 while cruising in the Exuma Islands of the Bahamas.  Resources: A special thanks to Tim and Arie for the suggestion. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1986/04/28/The-New-PiratesUPI-NewsFeatures-Special-Report-Death-on-the-deep-and-phantom-vesselsThis-area-is-completely-inundated-with-sea-criminals/5221515044800. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1993-01-17-9301040261-story,amp.html --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/twisted-travel-and-true-c/support

Today’s story involves five child heroes. Their heroic acts  saved their mother from being murdered. These five children all under the age of 14 protected their mother who had been shot, from their very own father.  The man who is supposed to love and take care of them. I don’t cry very often when researching cases but this one definitely put a tear in my eyes. Unfortunately domestic violence is all too common and we don’t hear the true nature of the violence perpetrated inside someone’s home until there is a survivor in a story like this one. Even more rare is hearing about the violence from children who are often the silent witnesses. Four of these five children were rewarded with medals of bravery after the residents of Australia heard about their courageous acts.  This is the survivor story of Rachael Moore. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_domestic_violence_hotlines https://amp-brisbanetimes-com-au.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/i-thought-i-was-going-to-die-children-save-mum-from-domestic-violence-attack-20170324-gv668r.html?amp_js_v=a6&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQHKAFQArABIA%3D%3D#aoh=16151293406132&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brisbanetimes.com.au%2Fnational%2Fqueensland%2Fi-thought-i-was-going-to-die-children-save-mum-from-domestic-violence-attack-20170324-gv668r.html https://amp-smh-com-au.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.smh.com.au/lifestyle/the-bitter-truth-behind-jaydens-medal-of-courage-20170331-gvat3m.html?amp_js_v=a6&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQHKAFQArABIA%3D%3D#aoh=16151293406132&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.smh.com.au%2Flifestyle%2Fthe-bitter-truth-behind-jaydens-medal-of-courage-20170331-gvat3m.html https://youtu.be/fgkQndArUXE --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/twisted-travel-and-true-c/support

The debate over nature versus nurture is a hot topic among true crime listeners.  It’s  the question of whether our biological makeup, or what is in our DNA makes us who we are, or whether the environment we are raised in contributes more to who we become.  This is often debated when it comes to murderers.  Certainly, mental, emotional and physical abuse or being subjected to evil on a regular basis as a child would make it seem normal or acceptable to a child and that may transition with some of them to adulthood, but what if a murderer is raised in a home where none of these  bad things happened .  What if the child came from a larger family, where the other children are completely normal?  What if despicable acts are committed by someone who is only a child themselves?  Today’s case seems to argue for nature, or a biological  disposition to commit evil.  This case is pretty gruesome and definitely not for young ears.  This is the case of Charlie Brandt.

Camping, I love it.  Many people hate it and cases like this one sometimes make me question why I enjoy it so much.  A heartless killer staled his prey while they are innocently camping and enjoying the natural beauty found in one of Canada’s gorgeous parks.  This man killed 6 innocent fun loving campers just to satisfy himself and to get what he felt like he was entitled too.  The search for this man ended up being one of the most expensive and well known cases in Canada’s history.  The killer is up for parole this year. https://www.strangeoutdoors.com/true-crime-in-the-outdoors/wells-gray-park-camping-murders Wikipedia Murderpedia --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/twisted-travel-and-true-c/support

A huge cruise ship named the Brilliance of the Seas weighed anchor and eased out of Harbor at the Greene island of Mykonos  in the Aegean Sea.  It was America’s Independence day in 2005.  It was also the sixth night of the trip for the passengers. There were 2300 of them on board and most of them were Americans. George Smith and his newlywed wife Jennifer were enjoying their honeymoon.  They spent the day exploring Florence, eating and drinking exotic drinks.  They partied  into the early morning of the 5th and then within what was only minutes, George would disappear from the cruise ship, leaving behind his forgetful wife and an unruly group of young men who may have murdered him.  This case has more  questions than answers, and has not yet been solved.

Off with their heads!  We have all heard that quote from the queen of hearts in Alice in Wonderland.  Maybe you remember the scary story of the headless horseman from childhood?  Beheading is how people were put to death in France via the guillotine and even in current times we have heard of beheadings within terrorist organizations.  What is the fasciation behind "losing our heads". There seems to be some inherent power placed in our heads, as there should be after all it’s where we speak, hear, taste, feel and smell.  All the senses in one place.  Its what makes us, us.  So is it hard to believe that there are people who believe that their enemies souls leave through their mouths when they die?  Would it be beyond our scope of comprehension to think that if our enemies souls escape their bodies, they might do harm to us in the afterlife? If they could do that, our next thought would be how do we do keep the souls in the head.  This is the belief of the Shuar. The most popular of the headshrinkers.  This is a brief history of head shrinking, and the story of Enno Lolling,   a NaziGerman doctor who allowed  the abuse of the dead bodies of human beings.  Not only that but he experimented with head shrinking, himself. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enno_Lolling https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/how-does-one-actually-shrink-a-head-5994665 https://www.allatsea.net/the-head-keepers-of-modern-day-indonesia/ http://holocaustcontroversies.blogspot.com/2017/11/nazi-shrunken-heads-human-skin.html?m=1 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/twisted-travel-and-true-c/support

The heat is deadly.  The smell of sweat, hot bodies and fear permeates the air.  It's becoming less and less breathable. Mai struggles to breath.  She is 26 and in the prime of her youth but she is tightly  surrounded by people who are sweltering in the heat just like she is. People are crying for their families and loved ones. The person standing next to her faints and falls to the floor.  There is no way out.  The strongest among them  have tried  force and the smartest have tried to figure a way out but nothing has come of their efforts.  They are all going to die. This is the story of 39 people who died inside a cargo trailer while they were being illegally trafficked from one country to another.

Imagine:  You are are a rescue diver.  You have been called to help find survivors of a tug boat that overturned in bad weather.  You and your co-workers decided that on the first day, the weather is too rough and the conditions are too dangerous.  By day two you know that you are are looking for dead bodies.  The boat sits 100 feet deep and here thewater is dark.  Not only that but the swiftly moving water that is kicking up sediment makes the visibility close to zero.  Your only choice is to search by feel with your hands with very limited vision.  The first day that you spend on the seafloor, was difficult.  You and your 3 man team, had to break your way through two locked doors and navigate your way around a boat that landed top down on the ocean floor.  Even with the poor conditions and the very cold water, you found 4 bodies, bringing them to the surface so their families can say a final farewell. The following day you enter the water, hoping to find the 8 remaining crew.  You are feeling around, not knowing whether there are predators in the boat with you.  A voice coming through your mask from the mothership, trying to guide you as best they can through the boat. Suddenly, you see something in arms reach of your face It’s a hand, you tentatively reach toward it, touching it, expecting cold dead flesh.  When you grasp the hand firmly, its fingers curl around your hand.  You are holding the hand of a survivor who has been underwater for 60 hours.  This is the story of the survivor, Harrison Okene.
