Or sub to Apple +In the late 90’s, residents of San Luis Obispo were concerned that a serial killer may be on the loose following the disappearance of two Cal Poly Tech students within a two year span, followed by yet another bright young woman abducted on her way to study at Cal. A massive police effort would soon bring to light a separate killer than that of the original, highly publicized Kristin Smart case.

104 • The Curious Case of Randall Hopley w Deadbug

A strange kind of Xmas special for DT listeners. These eps are a fly on the wall of a seedy bar experience. Tales from the Bottom Down is a DT Exclusive on Patreon and Apple +. I think it's worth the risk sharing this one. Enjoy or not. You can find more of the notorious Deadbug at www.youtube.com/@DEADBUGsaysWith this episode we will give a rare trigger warning for those who are on the line with what they consider truly offensive. Instead of editing things out, TFBD is about shooting from the hip, press record and go, then puking it out warts and all. We accept that people do have different tolerance levels and this ep certainly turns things to eleven and there are some very brutal elements to this episode, please keep that in mind before pressing play.1)The Peculiar Case Of Randall HopleyRandell is kinda like a super hero, looking out for your children, except he don't wear a cape and you don't want him climbing through your window but if you see an empty diaper package on your floor, it's too late, he's already been and gone!2). The Lawson Family MassacreChristmas 1929 meant a lot of things to a lot of people, the Great Depression had hit America hard leaving the dollar bill worthless and left a lot of people with nothing under their Christmas tree's but lint. To many in the town of Germanton North Carolina the Lawson family were to be admired, they even had enough scratch to have their family portrait taken, a privilege reserved for the affluent, but little did anyone know, that this would be the last time they would be seen alive and the portrait a horrible reminder of the day the reaper got greedy!Our Sponsors:* Check out IQbar and use my code DARK for a great deal: Check out Mood and use my code DARKTOPIC for a great deal: Check out Mood and use my code DARKTOPIC for a great deal: Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code DARKTOPIC for a great deal: this podcast at — Inquiries: & Opt-Out:
