Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color

Jason Alan Thornburg is a convicted serial killer linked to murders in Texas and Arizona between 2017 and 2021. He gained national attention for the 2021 Fort Worth-area killings, where victims were dismembered and burned - and for claiming the crimes were “ritual sacrifices.” This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams and edited by Minnie Williams.

Back in November 2024 for Video Club, Wendy, Beth & Minnie reviewed the documentary Demon House - because Sef really, really wanted us to… and we love Sef, so of course we did! The documentary follows paranormal investigator Zak Bagans after he buys a supposedly haunted Indiana home sight unseen, dubbed a “Portal to Hell.” The trio digs into the Ammons family’s story, the film’s presentation, Bagans’ narration, and the bigger cultural implications. They talk trauma, the role of authorities, the lack of solid scientific evidence, and whether the documentary handled such serious themes responsibly. Let’s just say… they had thoughts. 👀 Music “Crystalline” by Yung Kartz https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Yung_Kartz Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License “Baba Yaga” by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/full_list.php Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License “Freedom” by Caslo https://freemusicarchive.org/music/caslo/ Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License “Gotta Get it” & “Torey” by Arulo Mixkit Stock Music Free License https://mixkit.co/free-stock-music/trap/ Connect with us on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fruitloopspod BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/fruitloopspod.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fruitloopspod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Fruitloopspod and https://www.facebook.com/groups/fruitloopspod Learn more about your ad choices.
