Hello, and welcome to Dooms to Fail.
We bring you historical disasters and failures every week.
And, well, I guess, except this week, because we're doing some re-releases, because we're traveling.
And we have over 200 episodes.
They're all ad-free.
We have a bunch of fun stories, but we, of course, have murder stories.
When we started our show, so I'm Taylor.
I work with my friend Fars, and he and I were doing, like, true crime and history.
relationships. That's what we were thinking. And then it kind of expanded into whatever we
felt like. And we've learned. Honestly, we've learned so much. But because of that, we have
so many true crime episodes, not even enough to do a recap in one. So I'm going to do it in three
parts and then do some new releases. So for murder part one, I'm going to highlight a whole bunch
episodes. I'll walk you through them and you can find them wherever you listen to podcasts and
in the long show notes for this episode. Episode four.
Part 1 was about the murder of Kellyanne Bates, who is a young woman, teenager, girl,
who was murdered in a terrible case of abuse and murder and grooming and awful.
These are terrible stories, but you know, you signed up for this.
Episode 5, Part 2 was about the Murdoch family murders, which just recently happened.
Alec Murdoch killed his son and his wife, and he's in jail.
My brother has since seen Buster, but you can't even, can't make that up.
there's a rich kid named Buster at the airport. So that kid's fine, even though he probably
murdered someone too. There's episode six part one, Drew Peterson, who was a police officer. I don't
know if he's still alive, but he killed several of his wives, like very suspicious. Episode seven
part two, the toolbox killers, two men who just murdered people in a van. Don't get in a van
stranger. I think we know this now, but just in case. Episode nine part two was about Yasser Saeed. He
was a person who moved to the United States from the Middle East, and his daughters were
assimilating to the United States and wanted to do things like, go on dates and listen to music
and, you know, just be girls, and he killed them because they weren't living up to his
expectations, which is terrible. Episode 10, part one is OJ. Nicole Simpson. You know, you know,
but it's almost fun to talk about because, I don't know, we were there. Do you remember? Are you
old enough to have been there? I remember watching it on TV, the Chase at least, and the
and the trial everything we were there episode 13 part two chris wads this freaking jerk wad
who kills his family and dumped the kids and the wife in a like oil tank just again maybe
have you said this yet you can get divorced being divorced it's fine just do that episode 14 part
one this dude posuzu elgarat obviously obviously it's not his real name but he like
said that he was like talked to satan he literally had it I like
because it's so stupid. He had the word Satan written on his arm, like tattooed in his arm really
big, just like an ugly, ugly fight, just like Satan. Like not even a cool, like, Baphime or
cool five-point, whatever, how many point stars, whatever, a pentagram. Um, he just had the word
Satan. Anyway, he's an idiot and people died. Part, oh, episode 15, part two, Tiffany Cole and
Michael Jackson, not that Michael Jackson, but can you believe that someone named their child
Michael Jackson. These two idiots killed an old couple that had money in the bank, but they didn't
get the money. They just killed them, and it's just super tragic. Episode 16, part one. This is obviously
one of the saddest stories ever about Andrea Yates, who in postpartum psychosis, killed her children.
So again, these are terrible stories. I laughed at a couple, but not that one. Episode 17,
part two, Scott Peterson, so like another Peterson. And this is, okay, so he could die. He
killed Lacey Peterson and their unborn son Connor. But like, there's a little bit of weirdness
that were other pregnant people killed, but then also he acted like an idiot and died his hair blonde
and tried to go south to Mexico. But also he was only 27. So it's okay to be stupid, but also like
get a divorce, Scott. Don't kill your wife. Episode 19, part two, Ken McElroy. So Ken McElroy
was a town bully in, um, in the south. And he just died in gunfire. And no one will say exactly
he killed him but no one's sad that he's gone um episode 21 part one is my favorite murder taylor
personally hinder kifek which is a um place in germany where they um a family was murdered
um brutally brutally brutally murdered ax murdered found in their barn a baby was found in the crib um and
they don't know who did it i have my suspicions but it's definitely like a there was someone
hiding in the attic for a while we need to do this story which is scary episode 22 part one is
about Gypsy Rose Blanchard, and we actually
recorded this before she got out of jail.
So since then, she's out of jail, she was married,
divorced, married again.
Is she pregnant?
Anyway, she's much better off.
Learn about that.
Episode 23, part two, the Cheshire murders.
This is a nightmare.
A nightmare. People broke into a house.
It kind of reminds me of, I think I'd probably have this
in the episode in Cold Blood, which is one of the scariest
books I've ever read.
It was like Joey and Friends putting the shining in the freezer.
It was so scary.
So definitely recommend reading in cold blood and listening to that episode.
24 part one, Lizzie Borden.
Okay, if you were a child of America, Farras is an immigrant.
So he doesn't, it just wasn't part of his life as much as part of mine, but like the rhyme, the TV movie, thinking about Lizzie Borden, and then like I read some books about it.
I read some articles about it.
I'm not sure that she did it.
And the reason I think this, and I feel like no one, I don't, haven't seen it anywhere,
is there were more rooms in the attic than I was led to believe.
I was led to believe that only the Irish maid was up there.
And the Irish maid has ever right to be pissed because, like, the family was terrible to her.
Everything was awful.
But, like, someone could have hit up there, specifically with uncle.
So anyway, more about that.
Let me know what you think.
Episode 24 part two, the Moore's murders, just in Britain murdering people, throwing them into the Moore, which is, oh, also that, well, I guess since I said the word more, today,
There's a teaser for the New Weathering Heights that's coming out next Valentine's Day.
That's the only thing I think of or I think of it more.
Then, episode where I'm right, 25, Part 2, Andrew Cunanan and Gianni Versace.
So remember when Andrew Cunanin killed Gianni Versace outside of his house?
That was tragic.
But did you know he was on like a killing spree?
It's a lot more than just that one headline.
Episode 29, Ivan Milot, who was a horrifying murderer in Australia.
there's so many Australian murders. I'm sure you listen to Case File, but they're all in there,
and there's so many. Episode 28 was about these children who killed a child, James Bulger. It's so sad.
So, I don't know, another sad one. Oh, so 30, okay, this was a little more fun. More fun.
Jack Ruby. So I didn't even think of this as a murder, but it definitely is a murder, obviously.
Jack Ruby, the day after JFK was killed, shot Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV. And he thought everyone was
going to, like, say he was a hero, but, like, people were pissed because now, now we have
conspiracy theories forever, even though I think Lee Harvey Aswell did it by himself and that it was
potentially the secret service who was hungover. Call me, we could talk about that.
Episode, where am I? Oh, okay, episode 32, Betty Lou Beetz, who killed a bunch of husbands,
who's a black widow. Episode 34 is Evelyn Nesbitt, Henry Kay Thaw, and Stanford White.
This goes into New York City history, architecture history.
Actually, when I recorded this, I was, like, right by the asylum they ended up sending the murderer to,
which I thought was super, like, weird and interesting that happened to be in New York right there.
But there was a murder on top of the old Madison Square Garden, like, during a play.
So very exciting.
There's a lot of, like, intrigue in that one.
Episode 35, Bonnie and Clyde, I mean, these two, these two idiots.
Again, very, very bad, bad thieves.
They barely got any money.
By the time that they were killed, there were.
like literally dying like the picture of him holding her he's holding her because she can't
move her leg because her leg was down to the bone burned by mortar oil and such because
it got in so many car accidents so anyway listen to that one episode 40 surrender coley who is
just the jeffrey domer of india terrible story episode 44 nurse lucy letby who killed a bunch
of babies recently she's been in the news episode 49 armin myles who is a
German man who killed and ate someone, but it was consensual. So can you do that?
Probably not. Probably not. Episode 56, the Vasilka Axe murders, another man in the attic.
An Iowa farmhouse in Iowa, everyone died. Families, kids were sleeping over, axe murder.
Episode 30, three guys, one hammer. This is a terrible murder in Ukraine. It's actually our
most popular episode because I think people just Google it. I want to know more. So listen to that.
64. Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck. They were a lonely hearts club. They were like seduce people and kill them. Episode 88, Skyler Delon. She was a child actor on Power Rangers and then tried to steal a yacht and killed people and it was awful. Episode 100, William H. Wallace, which was very similar to Lizzie Borden. And episode 103, Daniel Wozniak, who was an actor who killed someone like in the theater in Costa Mesa.
Anyway, lots of murder stories, more to come.
