The Murder of Oceana Sneed
Today, our friends at the podcast Fresh Hell take us back to 19th-century Kentucky to uncover the haunting and tragic story of Oceana Sneed — a woman whose life became tangled in betrayal, violence, and one of the most infamous family murder scandals of the era. What began as whispers of greed and forbidden relationships would soon erupt into a horrifying crime that shocked an entire community and left behind questions that still linger today. Who was Oceana Sneed really? A devoted wife trapped in impossible circumstances? A calculating conspirator? Or a victim of a much darker family dynamic hidden behind closed doors? Fresh Hell podcast will unravel the twisted relationships, suspicious deaths, courtroom drama, and chilling aftermath that transformed this case into a true-crime legend. As always, listener discretion is advised. Fresh Hell contains discussions of murder, violence, and disturbing historical events that may not be suitable for all audiences.

Child Serial Killers: Evil at an Early Age
Across history, there have been cases so disturbing that even seasoned investigators struggled to understand them.

Today, we are going to talk about something deeply unsettling…killers that still had a curfew. But before we get started, I want to give you a heads up.
