Daniel Robinson, a bright and determined geology graduate born with one hand, vanished in 2021 after leaving a work site in the Arizona desert.

The Mysterious Death of Kathleen Peterson (Part 2)
The second part of the Morbid podcast episode dives into the trial and aftermath of Michael Peterson, accused of murdering his wife Kathleen Peterson in 2001, a case complicated by the exhumation of another woman, Elizabeth Ratliff, who died under eerily similar circumstances a decade earlier. The trial exposed Michael’s bisexuality, financial motives, and a controversial blood spatter analyst, ultimately leading to a conviction, later overturned due to misconduct, and an Alford plea that freed him without admitting guilt.

Killer in the Walls: The Crimes of Daniel LaPlante
The podcast revisits the disturbing 1986 case of Daniel LaPlante, a 16-year-old from Pepperell, Massachusetts, who infiltrated the Bowen family home by living in its walls for months, terrorizing teenage sisters Tina and Karen after being rejected by Tina. His obsession escalated to a home invasion, and later, while out on bail, he murdered Priscilla Gustafson and her two young children, leading to a manhunt and eventual conviction. The episode explores the psychological horror, community trauma, and systemic failures in handling a clearly dangerous juvenile offender.

The Stamford Bra Murders
The podcast investigates the unsolved "Stamford bra murders" of the late 1960s and early 1970s, where five women—mostly young Black sex workers—were strangled with their own bras and dumped near Merritt Parkway in Connecticut. Despite mounting evidence pointing to a serial killer, law enforcement showed little urgency until a mentally ill mailman, Benjamin Miller, was arrested and later acquitted by reason of insanity based largely on a coerced confession. A far more likely suspect, Robert Lupinacci, was caught red-handed attempting to strangle a woman in the same location under identical circumstances but was ignored. The case remains officially closed, though the hosts argue justice was never served.
