The Hardy House Murders | True Crime Sleep Stories
On June 5, 1910, almost the entire Hardy family was brutally murdered, and found beaten to death in their home by their only remaining son. Who could have done this? Was it someone they knew...OR...was it the work of one of the US's first serial killers?

The Hinterkaifeck Murders | True Crime Sleep Stories
Welcome to my new show, True Crime Sleep Stories!
The full video versions are available on YouTube at youtube.com/kellibrinktv
The Hinterkaifeck murders occurred on the evening of March 31st 1922, when six inhabitants of a small Bavarian farmstead, located approximately 70 kilometres north of Munich, Germany, were murdered by an unknown assailant.
Author Bill James, in his book, The Man from the Train, alleges that a man known as Paul Mueller may have been responsible for the murders.
There are many more suspects, and although the Hinterkaifek Murders have never been solved, the legacy lives on in literature, and on film, in the form of books, articles, case studies, documentaries, and podcasts.

Irish Catholic Industrial School Survivor: Mary Smith – Part 3 | TCIRL's Crimes & Conspiracies of the Catholic Church
Today I’m going to tell you the story of one Irish Catholic Industrial School survivor, Mary Smith. As a child growing up in Catholic institutions, she was known simply as Number 1346. She grew up not knowing her age or her true identity. But, later, she would find out that she had been ripped from the arms of a mother she would never know, and – she would discover that she also had a brother who was a victim of the same evil system.
Like a lot of Irish people, Mary, as an adult, has used music to tell her story and heal from the pain she endured by the hands of the Catholic Church.
In her song, I Am My Mother’s Child, Mary tells her story, and you can watch her video here.
I normally edit my episodes, but this one is full of so much information, I just decided to leave it just as it is, for you to listen to, and it going to come to you as a three part episode.
Here’s part 3 of Mary’s story.

Irish Catholic Mother & Baby Home Survivor: Clodagh Malone | TCIRL's Crimes & Conspiracies of the Catholic Church
Ireland in the mid-20th Century was ruled by the Catholic Church's harsh misogynistic values. Falling pregnant out of wedlock was a mortal sin in the church's eyes. Thousands of mothers and babies perished behind the walls of the oppressive mother and baby homes... but today I bring you one story of survival. This is Clodagh Malone's story.

The Forgotten Children of Irish Catholic Mother & Baby Homes | TCIRL's Crimes & Conspiracies of the Catholic Church
Imagine growing up in a time and a place where women are second class citizens, and sexuality is not only a taboo topic, but exposing the fact that you’ve been sexually active will get you socially ostracized, locked up and even possibly killed.
This is the story of Ireland’s Catholic Mother & Baby Homes that operated between the 1920’s and the 1990’s.

Thanksgiving Special
Hey everyone. I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving and that you’re all having a fun Black Friday, getting your shopping done, and enjoying family & friends!
So, if you’ve been listening to the show from the very beginning, you know that I used to do these more light-hearted daily mini episodes called “The Murder Minute” – I would quickly summarize a case as quickly as I could in one or two minutes. But – I got really busy, and I stopped doing them. But I actually have had a lot of feedback on these little baby episodes and a few of you have said you liked them. SO – my question for you is – did you like them? Do you miss them? Do you want me to bring them back?
My thought process on these was that I would eventually do a full episode on each of the stories, but there are several that I haven’t covered in full yet.
Today’s episode is actually a montage of 9 Murder Minute episodes I’ve done that – so far – haven’t been made into full episodes. So – listen to them and do me a favor – follow me on Instagram, facebook, or ticktok at True Crime IRL, all one word, and tell me which one you’d like to hear more about! I really love to get listener feedback and I’d love to hear your thoughts!
SO GUYS! What do you think? Which Murder Minute mini should I do a FULL episode on in the future? Remember to shoutout to me on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok at TrueCrimeIRL – and let me know!
Don’t forget that True Crime Thursday Night at Franklin Street Brewing is coming up December 9th at 6pm – be there! AND I am doing a live show on December 11th with the captain, from true crime garage, and you should definitely come to it – it’s in Champaign Illinois and you can find all the details – and buy your tickets – online at captainfathands.com/events.
Stay safe this holiday season, everyone. Thank you for listening – I love you all – I’m thankful for you – I’m humbled that my voice is going into your earholes right now – and I’ll see ya next week! Until then – lock your doors, people. BUH -BYE!

JEFFREY DAHMER PART 2: Are There More Dahmer Victims?
Did notorious serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, leave behind even more victims than the 17 we know about? Probably.
In fact, it is said that Dahmer may have victims in multiple states, and as far away as Europe.
But...could he have been involved in one of the most high-profile child murder cases ever in US History?
Listen now as Kelli chats with Willis Morgan, author of the book, "Frustrated Witness". Morgan discusses his own ties to the Adam Walsh case, and how Jeffrey Dahmer may have been involved.

JEFFREY DAHMER PART 1 - Live Brewery Show
Live From The Brewery! On the second Thursday of each month I get together with my true crime friends, have few drinks, and discuss a case!
Jeffrey Dahmer was an American serial killer and sex offender who committed the murder and dismemberment of 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Many of his murders involved necrophilia & cannibalism.
Although he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, and a psychotic disorder, Dahmer was found to be legally sane at his trial. He was sentenced to 16 terms of life imprisonment.

“Precious Doe” - Erica Green
Erica Michelle Marie Green was born May 15, 1997 and died April, 2001…although four years would go by before anyone other than her killers would know it. Because Erica’s body remained unclaimed and unidentified until 2005. For years, the Kansas City community would know this little girl as only “Precious Doe”.

The Villisca Ax Murders - Part 2
PART 2 - LIVE! The Villisca Axe Murder house has become sort of a novelty in American folklore…. A place to visit, a place where people try to challenge the ghosts of the past to show themselves….. a place where people giggle – and pose for silly pictures, joking about hauntings……. a place and time that we are so far removed from, that we seem to have sort of forgotten that the Villisca Axe Murders were REAL. An absolutely beautiful family was annihilated here. 6 sweet little children, ranging in age from just 5 years old to 12, tragically and painfully lost their lives.
This house is haunted… by ghosts?… I don’t know….but definitely by the true & tragic reality. There’s a very real and very sad energy left behind in The Villisca Axe Murder House. It’s an energy that you can feel – and as our recordings show, one you can hear.

The Villisca Ax Murders - PART 1
Over 100 years have passed since this horrifying ax murder rocked the small town of Villisca iowa, but the stain of negative energy still hangs heavy in every room of the residence.
I recently gathered a group of 8 brave souls together to spend one night in the Villisca Ax Murder House to revisit the scene of the crime and discuss the haunted history of this home.
I’m Kelli Berens Brink - this is True Crime IRL….. and TODAY I’m bringing you the story of the Villisca Ax Murder House.

S2:E3: Serial Killer Anthony Garcia: Kelli Brink with Bob Motta of Defense Diaries
Welcome back to True Crime IRL. THIS is part three of my series I did with Bob Motta and Darron Wood, of the Defense Diaries Podcast, where we are diving DEEP into the Anthony Garcia case.
Garcia is convicted of killing 4 people over several years in the Omaha NE area…… and technically, that makes him a serial killer. BUT – was he really a serial….or was he a jaded psychopath with a specific hit list, seeking revenge on Creighton University? AND…….did he really even commit these murders at all?
If you haven’t listened to PARTS 1 and 2 of this series yet, go back and do that first – and then…come back HERE….because we are diving deeper into the crimes….into the killer’s MO….and into the trial.

S2:E2: Serial Killer Anthony Garcia: Kelli Brink with Bob Motta of Defense Diaries
Welcome to part two of my deep dive into the Anthony Garcia case - with Bob Motta of the fantastic podcast, the Defense Diaries. Bob was part of Anthony Garcia’s defense team five years ago when this “serial killer” was tried for the murder of four people. Two double murders within a five year timeframe – the first in 2008, and the second in 2013 – would have police in Omaha NE wondering if they had a serial killer on their hands. The only really link was each victim’s affiliation with Creighton University in Omaha… and a former medical resident there named Anthony Garcia. Years later – and hours away, in Chicago IL - criminal defense attorney Bob Motta would receive a message in the middle of the night from Garcia’s family, requesting legal representation. And the years that followed would be a series of bizarre rabbit holes, and one of the most exhausting – and interesting - trials in Nebraska history. Today, I talk with Bob Motta about the Anthony Garcia case, podcasting, mental health – and SO MUCH MORE…. I’m Kelli Berens-Brink, and THIS is True Crime IRL – part TWO of our Deep dive into the Anthony Garcia case. You can catch full new episodes of True Crime IRL every Friday wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you to Captain from True Crime Garage for my kick ass theme music.

My Son Is A Murderer: Chatting With Stacy Sweet
Mother's Day weekend 2012 would forever change the Sweet Family when Isaiah,17 years old, would murder his legal guardians, Richard and Janet Sweet, who had raised him since the age of four. You may think you have an understanding of what happened here -- but there is so much more to the story than what the media - and even the trial - covered. Listen to Isaiah's mother, Stacy Sweet, discuss why Isaiah killed his grandparents, why Stacy almost did the same thing when she was his age, and how the system completely failed this minor.

Nannie Doss, The Giggling Granny
Nannie Doss – also known as the Giggling Granny – was just another hopeless romantic who dreamed of finding the perfect man who would sweep her off her feet. As she read her “True Romance” magazines, her thoughts would drift off and she would imagine her ideal life – and to her, that meant, no kids, lots of money, a handsome husband……and, she would viciously eliminate ANYONE who got in the way of that dream, even her own family members.
I’m Kelli Berens-Brink, and THIS is True Crime IRL. Make yourself comfortable as I tell you the story of Nannie Doss, The Giggling Granny.

The Kansas City Butcher, Bob Berdella | 2021 True Crime Podcast Festival
In 1982, the historic Kansas City neighborhood of Westport was home to the Westport Flea Market, where you could find, all sorts of interesting items… And in The Westport Flea Market was a curious little shop, called Bob’s Bazaar Bizarre. This shop sold oddities from around the world – unique primitive art, collectibles, jewelry, skulls, strange antiques…and so much more. Who owned it? An eccentric and flamboyant guy named Bob… Bob Berdella, to be exact….but Bob would soon earn himself a different name…
This is True Crime IRL. I’m Kelli Berens-Brink and THIS is the story of Bob Berdella…The Kansas City Butcher.

THE WATCHER | featuring The Warning Woods Podcast
In June of 2014, The Broaddus Family closed on what they thought was going to be their dream home – on 657 Boulevard in Westfield, New Jersey. Their excitement would continue to grow, day by day, as they painted the rooms, remodeled, and made the space their own before their official move in day.
Their opinion of the house, though, and the neighborhood, would soon change – and their excitement would quickly turn to fear when they began to receive ominous, threatening, letters from an anonymous stranger known only as – The Watcher.

Staying Safe: Spencer Coursen & The Safety Trap, Live From CrimeCon 2021
Hey ya’ll….here I am again, just….totally gushing to you about the amazing time I had at CrimeCon2021 in Austin, TX! As I said in last week’s episode, I was able to do some amazing interviews and meetups while I was there. Last week, I shared the interview I did with Karlee Bodine, whose Mother, Karen Bodine, was brutally murdered in 2007 in what is a STILL UNSOLVED cold case….so be sure to listen to that episode. And now, in this episode I’m shifting gears a little bit and sharing my interview with Spencer Coursen, which I also did live at CrimeCon.
This interview deviates from my normal discussion of murder mysteries and cold cases, and we were able to share a bit more lighthearted conversation, which was really nice.
So, Spencer recently released his new book, called The Safety Trap. In this book, Spencer discusses the fact that, although the times we live in are truly safer than ever, that presumed safety, can also give us a FALSE sense of security. Topics of the book range from home security options, to keeping your kids safe, and he urges ALL of us not to depend on OTHERS for own safety, BUT, he shows the everyday person ways to shoulder that responsibility ourselves.
Spencer’s CrimeCon sessions were informative, and entertaining… he’s actually a pretty funny guy – and he kept the CrimeCon audinces totally engaged with his real-world, relevant advice and anecdotes. If you missed him at CrimeCon 2021 in Austin, you’ll DEFINITELY need to catch him at CrimeCon 2022, in Vegas.
So, without further adieu, here’s my interview…with Spencer Coursen, security expert and author of The Safety Trap, in stores now.

Who Killed Karen Bodine? Karlee Bodine, Live From CrimeCon2021
**Please note: This was recorded live, in person, at CrimeCon2021, and therefore, the audio quality is spotty.
Please hang in there through this interview, though, because there is a lot of impactful info in it. Thanks!
In January of 2007, the body of – what police would call - a transient drug addict - had been discovered along a frequently traveled country highway, near Rochester Washington. Her body was, intentionally posed in a shocking and vulgar position… Police would later identify the woman as 37 year old Karen Bodine – but, they got the details WRONG, because Karen was actually, a loving mother & daughter - and part of a pretty amazing family… one that was determined to set the record straight and get justice. This is True Crime IRL and I’m Kelli Berens-Brink, and THIS is the REAL – unsolved - story of Karen Bodine.

THE MURDER MINUTE: Who Killed Karen Bodine?
I’m Kelli Berens-Brink, and this is the True Crime IRL Murder Minute.
Who killed Karen?
The body of Karen Bodine – a 37-year-old mother of three - was found the morning of Jan. 22, 2007. Her nude body was dumped on a busy road near a gravel pit, and detectives say her body had been posed by her killer.
The weekend before her murder, she had been hanging out with an unsavory group of friends… could one of them have killed her?
Police are confident that more than one person is responsible for Karen Bodine’s murder, and that it is likely someone she knew.
So WHO killed Karen?
Well - An unknown male’s DNA was recovered from a ligature found around Karen’s neck, and there were two tire tracks at the location where Bodine's body was recovered. As we’ve seen in other cases in recent years, where there’s DNA…there will VERY likely be an arrest one day.
Until that day comes -- anyone with information about Karen Bodine's death, as well as the days leading up to it, is asked to call the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office 360-786-5500.
Stay tuned for a full length episode with Karlee Odin, Karen Bodine’s daughter…coming soon. She has NEVER stopped fighting for justice for her mom.
Until next time, lock your doors, people. Buh-Bye.

THE MURDER MINUTE: The Miami Mutilator (DEXTER PROMO)
This is your True Crime IRL Murder Minute – I’m Kelli Berens-Brink bringing you the story of the Miami Mutilator.
There was a series of grisly murders in the Miami Florida area in the mid 2000’s …but the victims, well… not to sound cold-hearted, BUT…these were people that no one was going to miss. IN FACT, the victims of these murders, were actually people who were known to have committed their own brutal crimes against children and other helpless victims, but had evaded justice. SO, were these grisly killings connected, and if so – WHO was killing these people who probably should have already been in prison?

THE MURDER MINUTE: The Death House of Greenwich Village
THIS is the story of The Death House of Greenwich Village.
There’s a beautiful Brownstone brick home that blends in with all the others on West 10th Street in Greenwich Village… but the history that’s taken place inside its walls is anything BUT beautiful.
22 people have died in the home, referred to as the House of Death – and a few of its tenants are said to still reside there in the afterlife.
Several well-known names have dwelled at this residence – including, Mark Twain, who is said to still haunt the building.
Some pretty horrific things have happened here, including – Famous former attorney Joel Steinberg beat his partner Hedda Nussbaum’s six-year-old daughter to death in the house. Steinberg was convicted of first-degree manslaughter but was out on parole in 2004.
Besides this tragic death, the house was the site of numerous suicides and other tragic and mysterious deaths.
I’m Kelli Berens Brink and this has been your Murder Minute – The Death House of Greenwich Village! So -- Are some houses just cursed? Or is this all just one crazy, bad coincidence? I don’t know but what I DO KNOW is that you need to LOCK YOUR DOORS, PEOPLE! Whether you live in a Brownstone, a farmhouse, or a mansion in the hills…or especially if you live in the house of death…. LOCK. THOSE. DOORS! Buh-byeeeeeee!

THE MURDER MINUTE - THE MACDONALD TRIAD
The Macdonald triad was first proposed by psychiatrist J. M. Macdonald, who believed that these three things – first, cruelty to animals, second, an obsession with fire-setting, and lastly, persistent bedwetting, are linked to violent or homicidal behaviors later in life.
The Macdonald triad has been present in many criminals and murders, including the well-known serial killer Ed Kemper.
So next time little Johnny reaches for the matches after kicking the dog and wetting the bed… watch out…..you just might have a future serial killer on your hands.
This has been the true crime irl murder minute…and I’m kelli berens brink reminding you to lock your doors people – bye bye

THE MURDER MINUTE - THE KANSAS CITY BUTCHER
HI – I’m Kelli Berens Brink and THIS is the True Crime IRL Murder Minute!
Robert Berdella was a serial killer in Kansas during the late 1980’s and he was dubbed the Kansas City Butcher. He held at least six men captive for weeks, tortured them and killed them. He then chopped their bodies into small pieces and stuffed them into trash bags before disposing of them. He kept detailed notes on the murders of each of his victims which eventually helped police link all six murders to him. He wouldn't have been caught, if it hadn't been for his seventh potential victim – who was able to escape through a second-floor window of Berdella’s home. Berdella pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole in 1988, BUT, he died of a heart attack in prison just four years later, in 1992.
Thanks for listening to the True Crime IRL Murder Minute – 1 Murder in 1 Minute. You can listen to a new full-length episode every Friday! Until next time, lock your doors, people! Just lock ‘em! Buh-bye!

THE MURDER MINUTE: THE WATCHER
In June 2014, Maria and Derek Broaddus and their 3 young children were getting ready to move into their dream home in New Jersey.
Three days after closing on their new home, a letter arrived in the mailbox. The letter was addressed to “The New Owner” in unusual handwriting.
The letter read:
“Dearest new neighbor at 657 Boulevard, allow me to welcome you to the neighborhood. How did you end up here? Did 657 Boulevard call to you with its force within? 657 Boulevard has been the subject of my family for decades now and as it approaches its 110th birthday, I have been put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming. My grandfather watched the house in the 1920s and my father watched in the 1960s. It is now my time. Who am I? There are hundreds and hundreds of cars that drive by 657 Boulevard each day. Maybe I am in one. Look at all the windows you can see from 657 Boulevard. Maybe I am in one. Look out any of the many windows in 657 Boulevard at all the people who stroll by each day. Maybe I am one.”
The letter also mentioned specifics about the Broaddus family. “You have children. I have seen them,” the letter continued, “So far I think there are three that I have counted. Do you need to fill the house with the young blood I requested? Better for me. Was your old house too small for the growing family? Or was it greed to bring me your children? Once I know their names, I will call them and draw them to me.” The sender signed the letter “The Watcher”.
The Broaddus family never actually moved into their dream home after receiving these ominous and threatening letters. And…I don’t know that I would either.
So what happened to this house, to the Broaddus Family….and to the Watcher?
Well…you’ll have to stay tuned to find out…. Because in just a few weeks, I’m bringing you a full episode on this VERY interesting case!
Thanks for listening to the True Crime IRL Murder Minute. I’m Kelli Brink reminding you to LOCK YOUR DOORS PEOPLE….. you never know whos…WATCHING….. Buh-bye!

THE MURDER MINUTE | MICHELLE MARTINKO
THE TRUE CRIME IRL MURDER MINUTE | MICHELLE MARTINKO | IOWA | KELLI BRINK I'm Kelli Berens Brink and this is your True Crime IRL Murder Minute - 1 murder, in 1 minute... let's go! Michelle Martinko, an 18-year-old Cedar Rapids Iowa high school student, was found stabbed to death in her family's car less than a week before Christmas on December 19th, 1979. She had gone to buy a new coat at the mall that evening, but never made it out of the parking lot. The murder was closely followed within her community, and the police received thousands of tips after her killing. However, the case gradually grew cold as the investigation stretched on, remaining unsolved for 39 years. But, thanks to the new science of familial DNA, a distant family member's Ancestry DNA kit led police to the killer - Jerry Burns, who was later convicted and is serving a life sentence in prison for Michelle's death. If you want to hear more about this case... including the SHOCKING internet history recovered from the killer's computer....go back and listen to Episode __! This has been your True Crime IRL Murder Minute! 1 Murder, in 1 Minute. I'm Kelli Berens Brink reminding you: to lock your doors people! buh-bye! ----------- True Crime IRL is written, produced and hosted by Kelli Berens-Brink.

THE MURDER MINUTE: THE I70 STRANGLER
From the 1980s until 1996, Herbert Baumeister would go to gay bars to pick up men and lure them to his indoor pool to kill them. The pool area was set up very strangely, with a bunch of mannequins that looked like they were enjoying a pool party. Hey I’m not kink shaming or anything…to each their own, but this guy was creepy AF. Just one look at his picture, and you can see the murder vibe in his eyes. He strangled at least two dozen men, dumped many of their bodies along I-70 in Indiana, AND buried several more on his own property. Like a true coward, he fled to Canada and committed suicide before he could be brought to trial. This has been your True Crime IRL Murder Minute – 1 murder in 1 minute, and I’m Kelli Berens-Brink. Until next time…Lock your doors, people! And don’t go home with weirdos! Lock those doors! Bye bye!

THE MURDER MINUTE - LYMAN HAD A LOVER
I am Kelli Berens Brink, and THIS is the True Crime IRL murder Minute! One murder – in one minute – let’s get started!
On September 28th, 1951, the body of 65-year-old Lyman Elledge was found on the front lawn of one of his neighbors, Barney Wiskus, in their Delaware County Iowa community. The county coroner said that he died of a skull fracture wound to the back of the head. there were no solid leads – and soon, the case went cold. Fast forward to the 1980’s…and there’s a new Sheriff in town. That new Sherriff, Bert Elledge – was actually related to the victim, and he reopened the case, making it his mission to solve it. And, although it was UNoffical – solve it he did. Turns out, Lyman and his wife were estranged. And Lyman …had a lover. BUT, his lover also had ANOTHER boyfriend. Oh, what a tangled web we weave. The other man walked in on Lyman and his lady in the heat of passion, and he saw red. Lyman threw on his clothes, but no shoes - and ran down the street, being chased by the other angry man. He lost his glasses in the pursuit and was bludgeoned over the head with a heavy wooden club. Lyman crawled to Barney Wiskus’s front yard, where he finally succumbed to his injuries and was found dead later that morning. Although justice may have never been served, we can consider this Case closed…It’s the oldest story in the book. This has been your murder minute. One murder, in one minute. On True Crime IRL, and I’m Kelli Berens Brink. Until next time – lock your doors people…especially if you have a lover, who has a lover, who has a lover- who’s chasing you with a big wooden club…. Bye bye
