MYSTERY: The Alligator Man of Elmendorf
In Prohibition-era Texas, Joe Ball ran a saloon in the small town of Elmendorf, where he kept a pit of live alligators out back as a grisly attraction for his customers. Charming and well-liked, Ball had a steady rotation of young women working as barmaids and passing through his life, until they began to disappear. When authorities finally started asking questions in 1938, what they uncovered turned Ball into one of Texas's most enduring crime legends, a bootlegger and suspected serial killer said to have fed his victims to his alligators. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the dark story behind the so-called Alligator Man, the women whose disappearances went unnoticed for far too long, and the grim question of how many victims Joe Ball truly claimed before his crimes came to light.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

UNSOLVED: Sophie Toscan du Plantier 2
In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the tangled, decades-long investigation into the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier. Suspicion quickly fell on Ian Bailey, an English journalist living nearby who inserted himself into the coverage of the very crime he would come to be accused of. Bailey was arrested twice but never charged in Ireland, where prosecutors said the evidence fell short, and he maintained his innocence until his death. Yet the case refused to rest, moving across borders when a French court convicted Bailey in absentia and Ireland refused to hand him over. What followed was a saga of conflicting witness accounts, questions about the original investigation, and two nations at odds over how to deliver justice. Nearly thirty years later, no one has been convicted in an Irish court, and the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier remains painfully unresolved.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

UNSOLVED: Sophie Toscan du Plantier 1
In December 1996, French television producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier traveled alone to her remote holiday home on the windswept Mizen Head peninsula in County Cork, Ireland, a place she loved for its isolation and beauty. Two days before Christmas, her battered body was found on the lane outside her cottage, beaten so severely that the quiet farming community around Schull could scarcely comprehend it. She had come to Ireland for a few days of peace before the holidays, and instead became the victim of a crime that would haunt the country for decades. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces Sophie, the elegant and private Parisian who found refuge on the rugged Irish coast, the glamorous but demanding life she led back in France, and the brutal winter night that turned her beloved sanctuary into one of Ireland's most infamous crime scenes.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

MYSTERY: Ireland’s Scissor Sisters
In 2005, a dismembered body began turning up in pieces along a canal in Dublin, Ireland, in a case so gruesome it gripped the entire country. The victim was Farah Swaleh Noor, and the killers turned out to be two sisters, Charlotte and Linda Mulhall, dubbed by the press the "Scissor Sisters." The man had been in a relationship with their mother, and one violent night, fueled by drugs and alcohol and years of buried rage, the sisters killed him and set about disposing of his body in horrifying fashion. The case shocked Ireland not only for its brutality but for the disturbing family dynamics that lay beneath it. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the killing that became one of Ireland's most infamous crimes, the troubled family at its center, and the question of what drove two sisters to commit such an unthinkable act.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

SOLVED: An Oscar-Worthy Murder Pt. 2
In the days after two of his acquaintances went missing in Costa Mesa, California, Dan Wozniak played the part of the grieving friend to perfection, comforting others while concealing a monstrous secret. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the investigation that slowly stripped away the aspiring actor's performance, from suspicious ATM withdrawals and staged text messages to the gruesome truth about what he had done and how far he had gone to cover it up. As detectives closed in, Wozniak's carefully rehearsed innocence gave way to a chilling confession, and a courtroom drama that revealed just how coldly he had orchestrated it all.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

SOLVED: An Oscar-Worthy Murder Pt. 1
Dan Wozniak was a charming, talented actor in Southern California with big dreams and a wedding on the horizon, but his finances were falling apart and his taste for the spotlight far outpaced what his life could actually afford. Rather than face the truth, he began to lie, manipulate, and scheme, building a fantasy of the life he wanted on a foundation of deception. In the spring of 2010, that spiral of debt and delusion set the stage for an unthinkable crime. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces Wozniak's troubled path from aspiring theater star to desperate con man, the toxic relationships and mounting pressures that surrounded him, and the calculated plan that would soon leave two innocent people dead.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

MYSTERY: Doctor Death
Michael Swango was a charming, ambitious young doctor who seemed destined for a successful medical career when he began his residency in Ohio in the early 1980s. But wherever he worked, patients who should have recovered began dying without explanation, and colleagues who fell ill after eating food he brought them narrowly survived. For years, hospitals and medical boards across the United States and eventually as far as Zimbabwe passed him along rather than confront the mounting suspicions, allowing him to keep practicing and leaving a trail of poisoned patients in his wake. By the time authorities finally caught up with him, he may have been responsible for dozens of deaths. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the case of Michael Swango, the institutions that trusted him long after the warning signs appeared, and the chilling question of how a man sworn to heal was able to kill for so long while hiding in plain sight.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!
