• Don't Tell Mama: Elizabeth Duncan

  Elizabeth Duncan was charming, manipulative, and fiercely devoted to her only son, Frank. So when he fell in love and secretly married a kind-hearted young nurse named Olga, Elizabeth saw only one option: eliminate the obstacle. What unfolded next was a twisted tale of obsession, lies, and murder-for-hire that rocked 1950s California and led to the last triple execution in the state’s history. In this episode, we unravel the chilling story of a woman who would stop at nothing to keep her son close—even if it meant killing to do it.Make sure to follow us on social media and check out everywhere you can listen at linktr.ee/triggeredthepodcastContact us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

• The Murder of Ruthie Mae McCoy

  It sounds like an urban legend — someone sneaks into your apartment through the bathroom mirror. But for Ruthie Mae McCoy, this wasn’t folklore. In 1987 Chicago, Ruthie called 911 to report someone breaking into her home… through the walls. What followed was a brutal murder that police dismissed for too long — and a haunting reminder of how the most vulnerable are often unheard. This week, we unpack the terrifying truth behind the murder that inspired Candyman and ask: how could something so unbelievable be so real?Make sure to follow us on social media and check out everywhere you can listen at linktr.ee/triggeredthepodcastContact us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

The shocking incident sparked nationwide grief and outrage, raising urgent questions about mental health oversight in schools, child safety protocols, and how such a tragedy could unfold in what should have been a safe space for learning.Make sure to follow us on social media and check out everywhere you can listen at linktr.ee/triggeredthepodcastContact us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
