  • The Murder of Suzanne Wormser and the Social Media-Inspired New England Serial Killer Hoax
    A social media group spreads fear about a possible serial killer lurking around New England after several sets of remains are discovered over a short period of time. Police tell everyone to chill—there is no evidence connecting any of the cases. Then the dismembered body of a local Groton, CT., woman is found near a cemetery, and fear-mongering turns into full-on mania. What is the truth? And why is M. William Phelps so aggravated about it all?

  • SHORT CUTS: Julie Sulpizio and Her Doomsday Cult: God, Guns, & A Hero's Murder
    Julie Sulpizio, her husband and two children are certain God has given them a sign that the end of the world is near … and so they hatch a racist, murderous plan to take out as many ‘lost souls’ as they can before the Rapture begins.  Welcome to a bonus feature here on the Crossing the Line feed. I come across all sorts of stories while researching books, TV series, and my iHeartMedia podcast, Paper Ghosts, in addition to the ideas you send me. A lot of them grab hold of me emotionally—especially the victims' stories and the ordeal their families go through. A good number of the cases, for myriad reasons, don’t fit into the model for a more complete CTL episode. So I wanted to create a sub platform to showcase some of those stories, as well. That said, thank you for supporting Crossing the Line, which has allowed me to produce this new expansion of the brand … Once or twice per month, maybe more, I’ll present a 15 to 20 minute episode, covering murder and missing person cases, and other interesting crimes I think you’ll want to hear about—but maybe more importantly, cases that give us a deeper understanding of the crimes and scumbags who commit them.
