Who killed Toyah Cordingley?
I am guilty of being the typical true crime fan. I like a nicely finished story, wrapped in a bow and given to me with an ending I can be happy with. True crime fills a need deep within people; order restored after great chaos. Sure, there are murderers and enraged ex's and dangerous strangers [...]

Salem Witch Trials
You may not consider this story to be relevant to true crime, but this is not an isolated case of murder. History holds many tales much like the one you are about to read. Religion and fear, the group ideals become a mob mentality. This is but a small fraction of the victims of historical [...]
Jodi Arias
Warning: This article contains graphic crime scene and autopsy images that may be distressing to some readers. Use discretion, and keep your wits. Sociopaths are part of everyday society. They're our mums, dads, partners or bosses. They're part of the very fabric of society. While sociopaths are not always violent and dangerous people, some most [...]
Mark Errin Rust
LISTEN TO THE TRUECRIME365 PODCAST EPISODE 7 - MARK ERRIN RUST HERE Warning: This article contains descriptions of rape and sexual assault.
