It was 1981 in Naperville, IL. A woman, who lived alone, woke up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. In her groggy state, she walked out of her bedroom and saw a man she didn't know stabbed to death on her living room floor. It was 18-year-old Charles Huber and he had been stabbed 28 times... and right on top of him was her boyfriend, Bruce Lindahl, who had also been stabbed. Naperville was not a place that had double homicides so the police were stumped. It would take investigators over 40 years before they fully understood what they saw that night; and it was much bigger than anyone realized Produced by Jacob Hollabaugh Sponsors: -TaskRabbit: Taskrabbit.com Use code THEWORST for $15 off your first task -Goodles: Goodles.com Available at Target, Walmart, and other retailers -OSEA: Oseamalibu.com Use code THEWORST for 10% off your first order -Quince: Quince.com/theworst for free shipping + 365-day returns -Ruggable: Ruggable.com Use code PATW for 10% off your first order -Shopify: Shopify.com/WORST for a $1/month trial Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1988, Katie Callaway was working at a casino in South Lake Tahoe when she suddenly heard a voice say her name. Without looking, she knew exactly who it was because that voice has been haunting her for 11 years. Hoping she was wrong, she looked up and saw that sadly she wasn't. The man she sent to prison for life was suddenly in front of her and she has no idea how.

Fred and Carol Neulander were pillars of the community in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Fred was a rabbi and Carol owned a very successful bakery. In 1994, Carol pulled into her driveway and before she could get out, a man she didn't know knocked on her window. He had an envelope for Fred, who wasn't home, but asked to use the bathroom. Carol said sure, so he used the bathroom, gave her the envelope, and left. The envelope was empty and 1 week later "bathroom man" returned to do something horrific.

In 1977, the small town of Jacksonville, Alabama was shaken when a young couple, Donna Tucker & Mark Martin were attacked by a gunman in Germania Springs Park. This was a huge escalation to a series of similar crimes on young people in this town. There were no suspects until a local named John Ellis Sparks gave ABI agents plenty of reasons to suspect him. Unfortunately, they realize it's not that cut and dry when the crimes continue to happen after his arrest. This is a twisty tale... I almost got through it without crying.

This case blew my mind and I have to start with this PSA: stick around until my very last sentence... New information came out 2 months ago and it throws in one more twist to an already twisty, infuriating case. Sandra Birchmore was born in Stoughton, Massachusetts and didn't have a great life. Her mom was chronically ill, her dad was out of the picture, she didn't have a lot of support...until she found the Stoughton Police Explorer's Program, a youth program for kids interested in police work. Sandra always dreamed of becoming a cop so this was right up her alley & she thrived in the program. As an adult, she still struggled and on February 1st, 2021, after a tough couple of years, she was found dead in her apartment. It was quickly ruled a suicide, but fortunately, that ruling wasn't going to fly with friends and family.
