If you’re sensitive to monstrous criminal behavior, I encourage you to please use caution when listening or stop.

************************************

Fasten your seatbelts, this American criminal is dubbed the most prolific serial killer based on the number of confirmed victims. He claims there are at least 93 women. These murders would last for several decades, across numerous states, but somehow, he was seemingly able to skirt authorities. Or at least for murder.

Additionally... This killer’s earlier crimes would lead an innocent man to be convicted. Thankfully, the Innocence Project would intervene. It wasn't until 2012, he would be arrested on an unrelated drug charge.

During the investigation, he stated, that his killings started in 1970, on New Year's Eve in Miami, "It was like drugs, I came to like it."


Multiple Mugshots College – FBI website - In this handout photo provided by the FBI, serial killer Samuel Little is seen in a composite image depicting multiple mug shots/booking photos from 1966-1995.

FBI Website – Map of murders and list of victims/photo https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/samuel-little-most-prolific-serial-killer-in-us-history-100619

Updated – 10/1/2019: The continued investigation into the confessions of Samuel Little has resulted in several changes to this map. Five cases have been removed after being confirmed by law enforcement. Two new cases have been added—one in Willoughby Hills, Ohio, and another in New Orleans, Louisiana. Two previously unmatched confessions have been linked to unidentified bodies or “Jane Does.” Eight new portraits have been added. Little draws the portraits based on his memories of the victims.

Case/ Suspect History

After his parent’s divorce (1970s), 5yr Turner and his mother moved out of Warren, Arkansas to a small home in LA. His mother, Audrey Turner worked two jobs. Chester was described as a latch-key kid.

A relative, who requested privacy stated, “He didn’t go to the park or the gym, He couldn’t because his mother would not let him. He was always at home helping her. He didn’t have a regular childhood. He didn’t go nowhere."

Turner eventually dropped out of high school and started hanging out with the wrong crowd, portraying himself as a gang member, police said.

Around 1992, Turner began a rocky relationship with a woman named Felicia Collier, police said. The couple had a child but fought constantly. During one violent confrontation, a relative of Collier intervened and shot Turner.

We are going back, like way back in time. Let’s set the stage...

You’re at your best friend's house with several other friends for a sleepover. It’s dark outside, the rooms are all dark apart from a flashlight that’s gleaming on the ceiling. You walk into the bathroom alone with the flashlight and start to play the ‘Bloody Mary’ game, but you get so freaked out that you say the name twice before bolting out of the bathroom into a room erupting with laughter. While there is several other Mary’s this folklore tale could be about, there’s only one who comes to mind when you say Bloody Mary. How does one woman go from underdog to becoming a monarch, who was graced with a title of Bloody Mary?

This is the story of Mary Tudor…

Who here is familiar with America’s Indian Nations? I mean, this is really embarrassing but I don’t or let me rephrase that, I didn’t know much until I started doing research for this episode.

Did you know they have their own constitution?

Did you know they don’t fully trust or rely on outside (out of tribe) law enforcement?

How many of you heard these statements, “They are all addicts and drunks.” “Violent, be cautious.”

Do you know how many tribes and reservations there are in the US?

Can any of you recall seeing news reports of missing or murdered indigenous women & girls? I know we hear about the casinos, and them being forced off their lands, or how they are going on strike, but I can honestly say... I have not, however I try very hard not to follow the news because it either summons sadness, madness, depression, or flat-out hopelessness... I tend to lose all hope for humanity and want to find a magic wand to make everything better for those who are suffering. However, this is not a Disney movie, its real life, and for those indigenous women & girls who’ve had their lives taken, deserve justice. Their families deserve justice!

So, this episode involves a few cases from the Crow Indian Agency in Montana.

These are the Missing
And the murdered
women & girls..

They are mothers, daughters, sisters, aunties, cousins, wives..... a friend!

Today’s story isn’t about serial killers or gruesome details of murders, oh no, no... but... instead it’s a terrifying true story that involves poor maintenance requirements with proper surveillance, repair procedures, training and qualifications of mechanics and inspectors, extraordinary service, a gold medal heroism, and airman recognition.

If you were flying and noticed something unusual with the aircraft, what would you do?

Do you know why a FA’s position was created?

You know those warning labels we see on basically everything? Have you ever asked yourself, or said, well duh, of course I wouldn’t do that? Well for every action is a reaction, someone didn’t know, and things went wrong. Causing the need for a warning label or cautionary procedures to be present to prevent people from getting hurt. Such as, needing cabin crew to assist with pax and any emergencies that may arise.

Colleen Stan claims she was an experienced hitchhiker, she actually denied two rides to go past before accepting the ride with Hooker. Her reason for accepting the ride was because she felt “Confident climbing into the blue van since his wife (Janice) and the baby were in the car”

They stopped at a gas station along the way, Colleen went to use the restroom. When she reflects back to that moment, she remembers this gut feeling or "A voice telling her to run and jump out a window and never look back," but instead calmed her fears and went back to the car.

Once they were in an isolated area, Hooker pulled off the highway then held Colleen at knifepoint, then gagged, blindfolded, handcuffed, and forced her into what is known as a “head box,” which was designed to prevent light, sound, and fresh air from entering. Once she was locked into the head box he got back on the road, headed to his home in Tehama County, Red Bluff, California.

With eyes full of tears, "I stared in disbelief, shaking my head ‘No, over and over and over again, this only happens in the movies, the doctors and nurses continued to shake their heads telling me... she did not make it, I could not understand what they were saying to me. When I was brought to finally see her, she was just lying there like a lifeless angel, my baby, with a drip of dried blood on her mouth." – Donna Cimarelli-Sanchez, the mother of Maren Sanchez.

Who here has gotten upset or hurt from someone rejecting them? May it be going to the movies or out for drinks, or maybe asking someone for their number.

Rejection, though it hurts initially it is definitely not the end of the world. I know its easier said than done but... come on.

Here is a touchy subject, what about suffering from Mental Illness. Do you or anyone you know suffer from some sort of mental illness? Are the people around them aware of it and providing them with a loving and understanding support system? Or is their mental status being ignored, maybe they are in denial and find it completely taboo to take medicine or to admit there is something unbalanced with in?

Has there been a history of negative or harmful behaviors in their past?

Well today’s story is about the murder of Maren Sanchez...
