Robert Johnson was a Blues singer in the 1930s who was said to have sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his talent. He died, inexplicably, at the age of 27, right at the peak of his fame. No one has been able to confirm the cause of his death, so the rumor of his Luciferian trade lives on. Musicians are often accused of worshiping the devil by conspiracy theorists and moral purists alike. Whether it’s true, is usually left up to the listener. Today, though, we’ll be discussing a group of musicians who admitted to their evil intentions from the moment they picked up a guitar and the impact of their actions would be felt by the community for decades to come.

When Nerds Attack - KVLT: The Crimes of the Norwegian Black Metal Scene Pt 1

Punk rock legend Patti Smith once sang, “You gotta lose control before you take control.” It’s a romantic idea—especially because so many of us spend our lives chasing an illusion of control, when really, life’s kind of a crapshoot. But you gotta find a happy medium somewhere. If you’re too loosey goosey, your life is gonna be a mess. And if you’re wound too tight, well—then the first thing that threatens that perfect order might snap some crucial thread and send you spinning into the void. This is the story of a man’s quest for a life under perfect control, and what happened when he lost it.Sources:Court paperwork: State v.

Eye for an Eye: A Story of Murder for Hire

In The Godfather, Mario Puzo wrote “The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, lies in its loyalty to each other.” Family loyalty can be like armor in our most troubled times—when we’re at our weakest, our loved ones can lend us their strength. But loyalty can be a double-edged sword sometimes, making us choose family over reason—over sanity—over right. Join us for a Shakespearean tragedy of a story about a dirty little secret that led to murder, and a choice that took two proud families down in flames.Sources:Book, Never Seen Again by Jeanne KingBook, Love, Lies, and Murder by Gary C.

Audacity: The Murder of Janet March

G.K. Chesterton wrote, "The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." It speaks to an important struggle--how to hold onto your humanity when you're caught up in terrible violence. And it's a struggle that only gets more complicated when both friend and foe are not behind or in front of you, but all around, and it gets hard to tell one from the other. This is "The Good Fight," the story of three young women in the Dutch resistance to the Nazis in World War 2.Sources: “Seducing and Killing Nazis: Hannie, Truus and Freddie: Dutch Resistance Heroines of WWII,” by Sophie PoldermansMeet the Dutch girls who seduced Nazis — and lured them to their deaths by Isabel VincentFollow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfireFacebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comMERCH! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com/This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4251960/advertisement

Jessica Sacco

You know that old saying—I think it was Ben Franklin again—that guests, like fish, begin to stank after three days? I feel like that’s being pretty generous, actually, I’ve thought about buying one of those party banners that says PLEASE LEAVE BY 9 PM. And that’s if the guests are INVITED. What happens when they’re not? Imagine having your home taken over by people who just decide they live there now, and they’re not going anywhere. That this is THEIR home now, no matter what they have to do to keep it. Join us for the story of Jess Sacco, a young woman who met her dream guy online--or so she thought. When he moved into her place, she thought their fairy tale life together was just beginning. Instead, Dream Guy moved a posse of his friends into her house without asking her, and as the weeks passed, the atmosphere got more and more hostile...and more and more dangerous.

Where the Heart Is: The Murder of Jessica Sacco

David Bowie once described aging as “an extraordinary process by which you become the person you have always been.” We want to think of this as a nice sentiment, right? Like, aww, I’m gonna come into my full flower as the best possible version of myself. But what if the “person you’ve always been” is a nightmare? What if the monster’s just been biding its time? Join us for two stories of killer old ladies: Olga Rutterschmidt and Helen Golay, a pair of serial killers who preyed on the most vulnerable members of society; and South Korea's Madame Yoon, a woman who let delusion and obsession take over her life, and the lives of everyone around her.

Never Too Late: A Grab Bag of Lethal Old Ladies

Unhinged: Two Stories of Rage and Revenge

The Bible says, “Be sure: Your sin will find you out.” It’s certainly not a universal truth, as the long, long list of unsolved crimes out there proves.

Found Out: A True Story of Double Murder

There’s a proverb that says, “Love thy neighbor, but don’t pull down your hedge.” Basically, be kind to the people around you, but don’t get too involved in their lives because you never know who they really are. I think we all have crazy neighbor stories and we’re probably someone else’s crazy neighbor. I think maybe that proverb wasn’t talking about torrid love affairs and murder plots conducted between two scheming neighbors, but we are.

True Crime Campfire

Love is one of the greatest things there is.  But sometimes love can get warped into something else—something angry and possessive and tunnel-visioned. That something is obsession. And when true obsession takes root in the mind of a certain type of personality, everything else fades into the background and loses all importance.  Anybody and anything in the way of the object of that obsession is gonna get whomped.  Things can get real dark, real fast.

Episode 27: Twisted: A Story of Stalking and Murder

Susan Fassett

Aung San Suu Kyi once said, “It is not power that corrupts, but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it, and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.” In this episode, we’ll tell you the story of a man who was desperately afraid of losing the stranglehold he had on his little domain, and a woman who was afraid of what he’d do if she didn’t help him keep it.

Breaking Dawn: The Murder of Susan Fassett

Julie Jensen

We don’t write them quite as often as we used to, but a well-crafted letter can be a real treasure. There’s something intimate about opening an envelope addressed to you and unfolding the paper inside to find the letter writer’s unique handwriting, unique voice, little drawings. Plus anything they might have dropped into the envelope as an extra surprise—a pressed flower, a photograph, a folded up twenty dollar bill.  Letters can carry gossip, jokes, professions of undying love…and of course, letters can carry secrets. And in the story we’re about to tell you, a letter was the key to unlocking a mystery so dark, so poisonous, that no one who read it would ever be quite the same again.

The Letter: The Murder of Julie Jensen, Pt 1

Tracey Richter

December 2001. The tiny town of Early, Iowa.  Police respond to a 911 call from an eleven year old boy who said his mom, Tracey Richter Pitman Roberts, had just been attacked by two intruders while her husband was out of town on business.  They had choked her unconscious, and when she came to she managed to get to her gun safe and take one of them down while the other fled out the back door.  At first glance, it looked like an amazing "hero mom" story, and Tracey became a local hero.  But when police started looking into the identity of the dead intruder, this clear-cut narrative started to seem a lot fuzzier. The dead man was 19 year old Dustin Wehde, a local special-needs kid (and family friend of Tracey and her husband) who didn't seem to have a violent bone in his body. And when police got a look inside a pink notebook they found in Dustin's car, the story got even weirder.Join us for part 1 of this twisting tale about one of the most intelligent and devious killers you'll ever encounter.

Join us for part 1 of this twisting tale about one of the most intelligent and devious killers you'll ever encounter. Sources: Book: Beautifully Cruel by M.

Episode 3: The Puppet Master and the Prince of Darkness, Part 3: Puppeteering

Cindy James

For our first Halloween special episode, we tackle one of the creepiest, most confounding, most fascinating cases we've ever encountered.  For six and a half years, Vancouver nurse Cindy James was the victim of stalking, threats, vandalism, physical attacks and terrifying phone calls.  Several times she was discovered unconscious and bruised with a black nylon stocking tied tightly around her neck. Her tormenter left notes that said things like BEHEAD; CINDY, SOON; and WE ARE WATCHING.  Her house was set ablaze.  Dead animals were left hanging in her front yard.  And the Royal Canadian Mounted Police couldn't find out who was doing any of it. Eventually, they came to a shocking conclusion--Cindy was doing it herself, possibly without realizing it. This stunned and infuriated Cindy's family, friends, private investigator and psychiatrist, but the police were convinced.  The investigation stalled.  And then, one afternoon in May 1989, Cindy went missing. Her car was found in a shopping center parking lot, blood on the driver's side door, signs of a struggle strewn about. Two weeks later, her body was found in the yard of an abandoned house, hog tied and barefoot with a stocking tied around her neck. Was Cindy the victim of murder? Was it a suicide staged to look like a murder? Or was something else going on? This case is bizarre from start to finish; this description barely scratches the surface!  We can't wait to hear your theories.

Halloween Special: The Baffling Case of Cindy James

We all have paranoid moments sometimes.  We catch our significant other looking at us funny and we wonder, “Uh oh, is he mad at me?  What did I say?”  Or we walk into the break room and a huddle of coworkers suddenly stops talking—and we think “Oh my God, they were talking about ME.  I must be about to be fired!”  We all do it, and more often than not we’re wrong.  Usually, the consequence of that is nothing more serious than feeling like a doofus for a second.  But paranoia was the most dangerous force on earth for the major players in the story we’re about to tell you.  It began as the thinnest tendril of a whisper.  But soon that tendril branched out, black and cold as a strangling vine, and a whole circle of people would fall victim to its lies.

Episode 39: Paranoia: The Abduction and Murder of Rick Post, Pt. 1

Oil and water.  Ammonia and bleach.  Vinegar and baking soda.  Mentos and Diet Coke. There are some substances which, though benign by themselves, can be toxic or explosive when they come together. People can be like that too. Relationship dynamics can be every bit as volatile as chemistry. And when the wrong two people come together, it can start them on a path that leads them—and everyone in their path—to a big BOOM.  Sources:Vanity Fair, "The Murder Hustle" by Ann Bardach.

Episode 41: Stunning: A Very 80s Story of Love, Lies and Murder, Pt 1

Love is grand, or so they say.  When it works out, it can be one of the greatest things in the human experience.  Unfortunately, a lot of the time it doesn't work out.  Sometimes it fails to work out in truly spectacular fashion.  Join Katie and Whitney for three true stories of love gone horribly, horribly wrong. Case 1, "The Doctor," involves a level of deviousness we rarely see in would-be killers.  This is a scary story of near-fatal attraction--and perhaps a bit of a cautionary tale about infidelity.

Love is grand, or so they say. When it works out, it can be one of the greatest things in the human experience. Unfortunately, a lot of the time it doesn't work out. Sometimes it fails to work out in truly spectacular fashion. Join Katie and Whitney for three true stories of love gone horribly, horribly wrong. Case 1, "The Doctor," involves a level of deviousness we rarely see in would-be killers. This is a scary story of near-fatal attraction--and perhaps a bit of a cautionary tale about infidelity. Case 2, "The Con Man," is a nightmarish story of large-scale manipulation and personal betrayal on a truly breathtaking scale. Case 3, "The Schemer," is a story about obsession in its purest and most dangerous form. We hope you enjoy this first "grab-bag" episode! Sources: Books: Obsession by M.

Episode 21: Bad Romance Part 1

In part 1, we introduced you to Mark and Julie Jensen, two opposite personalities whose initially loving relationship had descended into a toxic mess of abuse and mistrust. Mark had become cold and distant, and Julie felt trapped, afraid that if she tried to leave him, Mark would make good on his threats to take away the kids and “make her look crazy” to the courts. When we left you, unbeknownst to Julie, Mark had just begun a flirtation with a woman in his office, Kelly LeBonte. This mess is about to get worse, campers.

The Letter: The Murder of Julie Jensen, Pt 2

In this episode, we learn a LOT more about the supposed "hit man lessons" going on between Bill and Dr. Smith, and Bill tells his entourage some dark secrets about both Smith and Susan Reinert. Bill does a few very suspicious favors for Smith. Smith goes on trial for the Sears robbery, and Bill testifies on his behalf, despite his new knowledge of Smith's murderous proclivities. Upper Merion is headed over a cliff, and no one seems interested in doing anything to stop it.

Episode 4: The Puppet Master and the Prince of Darkness, Part 4: Lemmings

Dante Sutorius

Happy Valentine's Day, campers, and welcome to the Season 3 premiere of True Crime Campfire!  We went round and round about which case to cover for our new season premiere, because you want those to be special.  And after briefly considering a few other bananapants stories, we realized it HAD to be Dante Sutorius. This woman was a Tazmanian devil, leaving a trail of destruction and bafflement wherever she went—from childhood onward.  We talk about stranger than fiction stories—well this one would probably get laughed out of the room at any Hollywood studio as waaay too over the top. “This woman is a cartoon villain,” they’d say.  Nobody’s really this bad. Oh, campers.  You’re about to find out.  There’s a murder in this story, it’s true, and that is the sad, probably inevitable endgame in this case.  But the reason we named the episode after the villain rather than the victim is that the story is about so much more than its gruesome, tragic ending.  It’s a road trip through Thunderdome.  It’s the path of a hurricane.  It’s one damn thing after another.

Episode 37: Inferno: The Story of Dante Sutorius, Part 1

Morticians.  The gatekeepers to the ever-after.  The ones who comfort our families, help plan our funerals, and spruce us up to face the world one last time.  The vast majority of them are kind professionals who took up this tough line of work because they want to be there for people in their darkest hours.  A small handful probably got into it because they enjoy the spooky atmosphere.  Still harmless.  But a tiny number of morticians have taken it upon themselves to create their own business rather than waiting for nature to take its course.

Episode 23: They Brought Work Home: 3 Killer Morticians, Pt 1

In Part 1, we introduced you to Della “Dante” Sutorius, a woman determined to land herself a rich husband and spread as much destruction as possible in the process.  A few of Dante’s cute little pranks include setting a boyfriend on fire, sending the same boyfriend to prison for drugs and tax crimes, and burning down another dude’s house. When we left you we were right in the middle of giving you the run-down on some of this dear lady’s most interesting escapades, which as I’m sure you’ve already predicted, are going to culminate one day in murder.

Episode 38: Inferno: The Story of Dante Sutorius, Part 2

In part 1, we introduced you to missing private investigator/FBI informant/cult expert Rick Post.  Rick’s family had been trying in vain for months to get the police interested in his disappearance, but they had no luck until a defense attorney called in with an anonymous tip given to her by one of her clients.  The client had told her that a man matching Rick’s description had been kidnapped and murdered in Mexico.  The FBI jumped into the investigation when they realized that the missing man was one of their informants, and when they started interviewing the people closest to Rick, they soon realized that the anonymous tipster was none other than Rick’s best friend and business partner, John Krueger.  And in the process of investigating him, they did some digging into Rick’s girlfriend Kim Bailey, too—a self made woman running a multimillion dollar company that peddled quack medicine.  And when we left you, a conversation with Kim Bailey’s best friend Lana had revealed a disturbing conspiracy between Krueger and Kim Bailey—Krueger was mad that Rick wouldn’t give him more control over their PI agency, and Kim thought Rick had been cheating on her and embezzling from her company.  They were about to hatch a seriously unpleasant plan.

Episode 40: Paranoia: The Abduction and Murder of Rick Post, Pt. 2

Sherri Dally

The late, great British author Sir Terry Pratchett once wrote that treating people as things is the only sin there is.  To a narcissist, people are things.  If you’re a narcissist, you’re the only one who matters—the only one who’s really real.  So other people exist to fluff up your ego and help you get what you want.  Even if what you want is something so dark that it will destroy the lives of everyone around you, including the eager little puppet you manipulate into the job.

Episode 31: Riding HAI: The Murder of Sherri Dally, Part 1

In part 1, we began the story of Michael and Sherry Dally, high school sweethearts with two kids and one of those “from the outside, everything looked perfect” kind of marriages.  But as so often happens in these cases, behind closed doors Sherry Dally was suffering emotional abuse and infidelity at the hands of her attractive husband.  Michael had a mistress—former model and current Vons employee Diana Haun, and Diana was IN LOOOVE with Michael.  Obsessed with Michael.  Made Michael a body pillow with her PICTURE on it with Michael.  Yeeikes. When we left you, Michael had made an abortive attempt to leave Sherry and move in with Diana, an attempt that fell flat when he realized how expensive a separation and divorce was going to be.  He moved back in with Sherry, and Diana was NOT HAPPY. She was not happy at ALL.

Episode 32: Riding HAI: The Murder of Sherri Dally, Part 2

In part 1 we began the disturbing story of the murder of Julie Kibuishi, who had been shot and left in a pool of blood in her good friend Sam Herr’s bed.  Sam, a military vet who had been suffering from PTSD and confiding in Julie about his struggles, was now nowhere to be found, and his car and passport were missing.  As police dug into Sam’s bank records to try to locate him, they traced his ATM card to a teenage kid named Wesley who told them a strange story.  A family friend named Dan Wozniak had given him the card, he said. Wozniak had told him he was working for a bail bonds company and Sam Herr owed them a lot of money. Could Wesley do them a favor and withdraw the money with the fugitive’s bank card?  When we left you, police had just discovered that Dan Wozniak and his fiancée Rachel were neighbors and friends of Sam Herr, and they suspected that Wozniak might have been helping Sam run. So they hauled Danny boy out of his own bachelor party to question him. Why did he have Sam Herr’s bank card?  What, if anything, did he know about Julie’s murder?  Who was this Dan Wozniak, anyway?Sources: CBS "48 Hours Mystery," episode "Killer Performance"NBC "Dateline," episode "Plot Twist"ABC "20/20," "The Final Act"https://abcnews.go.com/US/actress-convicted-lying-police-fiances-double-murder-pleads/story?id=63234575https://heavy.com/news/2019/05/sam-herr-death-murder-daniel-wozniak/Follow us, campers!
