Love Marry Kill

In the world of snake breeding, Ben Renick was a rock star, known worldwide among the rare reptile and snake community. By 2017, Ben was 29 years old and had thousands of valuable snakes, including a 200 pound anaconda. On June 8th, 2017, Ben’s wife Lynlee came home to find him dead on the floor of his snake facility. Investigators initially thought a killer snake was on the loose. It was not a snake, but someone equally cold blooded who shot Ben eight times in the back.

Peter Madsen, 47, a self-proclaimed inventrapeneur independently built 3 submarines and a rocket. He was well known in his home country of Denmark for his inventions and eccentric personality. His first rocket launch was just days away when his entire life unraveled on August 10, 2017, after he invited award-winning freelance journalist Kim Wall, 30 aboard his submarine for an interview. Kim, a social justice warrior, traveled the world conducting her “shoe leather” style of journalism and was known for her intriguing and sometimes quirky style of journalism. She had pursued an interview with Madsen for months and jumped at the opportunity to come aboard his submarine. Only one of them returned. Sources:

People that knew Emily Noble well described her as kind and generous, always willing to help out a friend in need, even someone she didn’t know very well. After celebrating her 52nd birthday in May 2020 with her husband Matheau Moore, Emily went missing. It would be four months before her body was found hanging in the woods not far from Matt and Emily’s home. It looked like a suicide, but investigators concluded that Moore killed his wife and staged the scene. What would a jury think after hearing the evidence?

Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, a Canadian couple, were dubbed the Ken and Barbie killers by the media because they were both attractive and blonde. They committed several horrifying crimes in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including the murder of Karla’s sister, Tammy. Their attractive and seemingly normal appearance masked their depravity as they engaged in a spree of kidnappings, sexual assaults, and murders, primarily targeting young women. The case gained significant media attention due to the brutality of their crimes, Karla's controversial plea deal, and the shocking revelation that she had been a willing participant in the heinous acts alongside her husband. The "Barbie killers" case remains one of Canada's most notorious and disturbing criminal sagas.

Ellen Greenberg, 27, was a beautiful, newly engaged first grade teacher who died on January 26, 2011 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her death was initially ruled a homicide but changed to suicide weeks later. The investigation was botched by police and evidence was likely destroyed. Evidence supports Ellen’s death being both a homicide and a suicide but her family is sure she did not commit suicide. Listen to this baffling case today, on what would be Ellen’s 40th birthday, and decide for yourself.
