  • John Cooper: The Bullseye Killer
    Dec 10 2024

    Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the case of John Cooper, also known as the “Bullseye Killer.” In the ‘80s, Cooper committed two double murders in the Welsh county of Pembrokeshire in the UK. Throughout the following decade, Cooper would commit a series of other crimes, like burglary and sexual assault – but it would take nearly another decade for authorities to link him to the killings. Candice dives into the psyche of Cooper, exploring how his addiction to gambling and alcohol might have pushed him into a life of crime, and how his false sense of invincibility – like his decision to appear on a popular game show after committing a heinous crime – ultimately led to his downfall.

  • The Trial of Sarah Boone
    Dec 3 2024

    Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong speaks with attorney and former public defender Kate Hardie to discuss the trial of Sarah Boone. In 2020, Boone was charged with second-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr., after zipping him in a suitcase during a game of hide-and-seek and leaving him to suffocate. After years of delays, Boone went to trial – and was ultimately convicted. Candice and Kate discuss the role Boone’s own testimony played in her trial, her difficulties in working with various court-appointed attorneys, and what may come next for her following her sentencing.

  • Listen Now - Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder
    Dec 2 2024

    On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94 would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs.


    Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune. But then, a twisted script unfolded, plunging them into a million-dollar cocaine and cash heist, a tangled web of lies, and ultimately – murder.


    The trail led investigators right to Hollywood's doorstep, linking former golden boy producer Robert Evans to the case and dredging up Radin's own troubled past.


    But the case turned ice cold. It would take more than five years of dogged pursuit by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department detectives, a secret undercover witness, and another murder almost 3,000 miles from Hollywood – to unlock the truth.


    This is the story of a doomed Hollywood partnership, a grisly murder and the search that stretched across the country for a killer – or killers.


    From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime: The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet, and the Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley comes a six part series that dives into the dark side of Hollywood through a shocking murder – fueled by ruthless ambition and desperate dreams. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.

Not your average true crime podcast

If you’re looking beyond true crime as an entertainment, this is your podcast! Kandace uses her experience as a psychiatric nurse and an FBI profiler to give her audience an in-depth psychological analysis of infamous killers.
