Take a look, it's in a book: Murder, My Dude!
We're taking a look at the Stephen King book so controversial, that the legendary author removed it from store shelves.
Rage was originally published under a pseudonym, and it inspired a series of horrendous crimes (mostly in Kentucky, for some reason). This week, we explore those stories!
BUT FIRST! This Week in Murder explores updates to some old stories and a senseless Bed-Stuy stabbing.
And, as always, we close with a game of Who Died The Worst!

Murder, My Dude returns for the 167th (and possibly final?) time!
In the Winter of 2013, LAPD officers and police in surrounding areas found themselves the targets of a rampaging killer hell-bent on getting even for what he thought was a broken system that had victimized him and cost him his livelihood.
Christopher Dorner was a vigilante with a twisted set of targets who targeted the very same police force he was once a part of.
This week, we tell his story!
But first!!! This Week in Murder explores a domestic incident gone wrong in Texas and a 98-year-old Nazi being tried as a juvenile.

It’s September, and back to school season is in full swing on Murder, My Dude!
While that usually means homework and recess for most people, for us, it means school bus accidents and one of the most sinister killer’s we’ve ever covered.
Andrei Chikatilo’s life was a Stalinist horror story, with an upbringing dominated by birth defects, intentional famines, and World War II. These surroundings helped create a monster - one that would terrorize the Rostov-on-Don section of the Soviet Union for over a decade.
This week, we tell his story.
BUT FIRST! This Week in Murder explores the aforementioned school bus accidents and a hate crime in California.
And, as always, we play a rollicking game of Who Died The Worst?!
This week’s feature is a rough one, given the age of one of the victims and how preventable his death was. 20 years after his tragic killing, we look at both the murder of one-year-old Zachary Turner as well as the killing of his father, Andrew Bagby.
We also explore the tireless efforts of Andrew’s friends and family to make sure that their deaths resulted in reform to help prevent others from suffering a similar fate.
BUT FIRST! We play with Chat GPT and explore current crimes in This Week in Murder!
Then, as always, we close with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst?!
