A Killer Doctor and Nurse- with Daniel Ciarrocchi

The creator of No Holmes Barred, Daniel Ciarrocchi joins me in a discussion about the man himself. H.H. Holmes was an American serial killer who built a murder castle in Chicago, Illinois in the late 1800's. Though he reports to have killed over 20, he is only convicted of one. But one is enough to hang. 
After that i'll transport us into the early 2000's and discuss a Nurse. Kimberly Saenz, was an LVN who bounced around from job to job before landing at a dialysis center. Shortly after she's hired, her murder spree starts. She kills by injecting the patients of those around her with a substance that should never be ingested. Luckily for the masses, she is reckless, and is caught after two women offer up witness accounts.

The Godfather of Fentanyl

George Eric Marquart, a man without a high school degree became the first to produce street Fentanyl. He had a high IQ, evident in school. But he found school boring and ridiculous. After winning the State Science Fair, he was immediately expelled for truancy issues. The local Doctor got him into making Heroin. Eric enjoyed the science behind making drugs. He switched to meth for the market and profitability. Then after several stints in prison, found out about Fentanyl. His curiosity turned to mad science and he managed to recreate a street version within weeks. The potency of which drove up the price and demand. Eric made larger and larger batches, but the arrogance and stupidity of his partners eventually led the DEA to his front door. Thus ending the initial wave of street Fentanyl.

The I-5 Killer

Randy Woodfield, a native Oregonian, was drafted to the Green Bay Packers. He had the potential to be a great man, but he couldn't stop exposing himself to women. After being released from the Packers, he drifted into the night scene in Portland. Still it wasn't enough, his voyeurism turned into attacking women. When rape wasn't enough, he advanced to murder. From California up to Washington, he attacked anyone he pleased along the I-5 Corridor, until history caught up with him, putting him on police radar. After a thorough police investigation, he was caught, tried, and convicted for his crimes. He will not be released from custody until he leaves with a toe-tag.

Ruby Franke

Ruby Franke rode the wave of internet fame from vlogging, creating an account called 8 Passengers. She chronicled her "life" with her family, but this sweet, LDS mother was not as she seemed. She scripted what was to be seen and when bits of her real life leaked out, the public response was to notify CPS. As she spiraled downward, she found new friend and counselor Jodi Hildebrant, a monster that matched her taste. Together the two indoctrinated the family into outlandish ideals until the men were isolated and out of the way. Then the pair set about torturing the youngest two of the Franke children. The ordeal only ended when youngest son Russell managed to escape, something not taken lightly after a previous failed attempt result in harsh "punishment". His act of bravery saved both himself and younger sister Eve from the real possibility of their deaths.

MMIW-Montana

In this episode in the MMIW series the state of Montana is our focus. While there are far more missing and murdered women, there are a few stories of the women that lost their lives. In many cases police investigations are poor, in all the coroner report is suspect.
