<description>In 2017, the Holston family who consisted of 25-year-old Stacey Holston, her husband Todd Holston, and their two sons, 8 year-old Devon and 2 year-old Braxton lived in a home on State route 93 in Pedro, Ohio. The family moved to this neighborhood to be closer to Stacey's family since most of them lived in this neighborhood or close by. It was here that Stacey struck up a romantic affair with her first cousin, 24-year-old Arron Lawson who also lived nearby. &lt;br /&gt;    On October 6, 2017, however, Stacey broke off the affair with Arron because she did not want Todd to find out from anyone else but her, and she wanted her normal home life back. Arron was devastated by this and concocted a plan to kill Stacey and her family. On October 11th, Arron snuck into the Holston home after Todd left for work and waited for four hours until Stacey sent Devon off to school and entered the back bedroom. There he shot and killed Stacey with a shotgun, and did the same to Devon when he returned home from school. Since Todd had not heard from his wife all day, he phoned her parents, Tammie and Donald McGuire to check on her, but unfortunately, when Tammie entered the home, she was met by Arron and was shot and killed, as well. Then, Donald was sent to check and met the same fate. &lt;br /&gt;            When Todd arrived home that night, he was also met by Arron and brutally stabbed in the head, neck, and chest but survived the attack and was able to call for help. Arron was apprehended 2 days later and has been sentenced to four death sentences plus an additional 59 years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fultonsun.com/news/2017/oct/15/Man-recounts-knife-attack-finding-bodies-of-wife-i/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Fulton Sun (2017)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://share.google/fVskW4KT7bPAyDO00" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;WOWK13 (2019)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/lawrence-county-man-mourning-family-members-lost-in-quadruple-murder" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;ABC6 (2017)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.herald-dispatch.com/_recent_news/prosecutor-lays-out-grisly-details-of-quadruple-murder/article_1d66f6e8-363f-11e9-9084-637146d89135.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Herald Dispatch (2019)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Documentaries/Videos&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://youtu.be/pimkw4pao3k?si=w6gAKZXHsivzMVCo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Serialously|YouTube| Infatuated with WHO?!

S03E29: Broken Bloodlines: The Holston Family Massacre

<description>On the night of May 22, 2019, police were alerted to an apartment lived in by 35-year-old Wade Allen on North Maple Street in Sturgis, Michigan. A report came in about Wade storing his girlfriend's body in his apartment. As police searched the apartment, Wade grew increasingly uncooperative, especially when officers asked to look inside a large cooler sitting in his living room. When officers finally gained access, they discovered the dismembered remains of 42-year-old Kelly Jein "KJ" Warner. &lt;br /&gt;     Wade asserted Kelly had died after a brain injury she sustained while making cereal and fainting in the kitchen, but the truth of KJ's brutal torture and murder came out when Wade bragged to his cellmates in prison about what he actually did to KJ. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.aetv.com/articles/wade-allen-sexually-assaulted-inmated-dismembered-and-murdered-girlfriend" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;A&amp;amp;E (2026)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.courts.michigan.gov/497c6f/siteassets/case-documents/uploads/opinions/final/coa/20211123_c357451_41_357451.opn.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;State of Michigan-Court of Appeals (2021)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://wsbt.com/news/local/sturgis-police-man-faces-charges-of-murder-dismemberment-of-corpse" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;WSBT (2019)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://lawandcrime.com/crime/man-sentenced-for-strangling-girlfriend-dismembering-remains-found-in-coolers-in-his-apartment-sexually-assaulting-inmate/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Law &amp;amp; Crime (2023)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Docs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otOHYAaNQWM" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Wade Allen's Chilling Crime, Told Through Body Cam Footage| Crime in Progress | A&amp;amp;E YouTube (2026)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6Igs5d-cbs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Cops Make the Worst Discovery of Their Lives | Explore With Us | YouTube (2025)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Become a supporter of this podcast: &lt;a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dark-deeds--6216218/support?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=rss"&gt;https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dark-deeds--6216218/support&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

S03E28: The Secret Cooler-The Suffering of Kelly-Jien Warner

<description>In January 2018, 19-year-old &lt;b&gt;Caitlin Denison&lt;/b&gt; boarded a plane from Reno, Nevada, to Midland, Texas, accompanying a man she had only recently met. She was bright, tattooed, and full of life—but within 24 hours of landing in the Permian Basin, that life was shrouded in a terrifying mystery. Before her phone went dark, Caitlin sent a series of desperate messages to her family, stating she was "afraid for her life" and was with a person who would get angry when trying to force himself on her and she rejected.  She was last seen at a Midland Walmart, and despite sightings of a specific Ford F-250 and a mysterious RV, the trail has remained cold for over 8 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Missing Since:&lt;/b&gt; 01/10/2018&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Missing From&lt;/b&gt;: Midland, Texas&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Classification:&lt;/b&gt; Endangered Missing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sex:&lt;/b&gt; Female&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Race:&lt;/b&gt; White&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Date of Birth&lt;/b&gt;: 08/07/1998 (27)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age when missing&lt;/b&gt;: 19 years old&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Height and Weight:&lt;/b&gt; 5'5, 120 pounds&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Clothing/Jewelry Description:&lt;/b&gt; A fur vest, a black shirt, black leggings with braid down the sides, and fuzzy boots.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Distinguishing Characteristics: &lt;/b&gt;White female.

S03E27: Vanished in Midland: The 2018 Disappearance of Caitlin Denison

<description>Most of us have a sibling we’d do anything for. We grow up sharing toys, secrets, and eventually, the stresses of adulthood, but for Ken and Kari Allen, that bond took a sharp, lethal turn. It wasn't just 'us against the world'—it was 'us against anyone in our way.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kenneth Allen, Jr. had spent most of his life away from his family, particularly his sister, Kari who was 11 years his junior, back in Indiana due to his parents, Sharon and Kenneth Allen, Sr divorcing when he was 14. Ken grew up in Florida while Kari lived with her mother in Noblesville, Indiana. After a life of counterfeiting, forgery, and theft, Ken decided to move home with his sister and mother at the age of 29 after doing a 14 month stint in prison in Arizona. He and 18-year-old Kari concocted a plan to kill their grandparents and take their money they had saved. Since their mother, Sharon, refused to help them, she had to die, too. After their killing spree, the pair buried the remains of all three victims under the basement floor at their grandparents' Indianapolis home and headed for Vegas, but a routine traffic stop uncovered their heinous crimes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://law.justia.com/cases/indiana/court-of-appeals/2008/09240801tac.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Justia (2008)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.wthr.com/article/news/death-penalty-request-in-triple-murder/531-6b9d5651-7f0e-4080-8511-f66c5c03353b" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;WTHR (2005)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-feb-10-na-siblings10-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Los Angeles Times (2005)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.sunjournal.com/2005/02/10/siblings-charged-killing-mother-grandparents-bodies-found-buried-basement/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Sun Journal (2005)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/47624365/leander-joseph-bradley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Find A Grave (2005)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/47624379/betty_ann-bradley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Find A Grave (2005)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/47624388/sharon_kay-allen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Find A Grave (2005)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Audio/Docs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Evil Kin Season 1 Episode 1 Thicker Than Blood&lt;br /&gt;Killer Kin Podcast Thicker Than Blood&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Become a supporter of this podcast: &lt;a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dark-deeds--6216218/support?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=rss"&gt;https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dark-deeds--6216218/support&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

After their killing spree, the pair buried the remains of all three victims under the basement floor at their grandparents' Indianapolis home and headed for Vegas, but a routine traffic stop uncovered their heinous crimes.  Sources <a href="https://law.justia.com/cases/indiana/court-of-appeals/2008/09240801tac.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justia (2008)</a> <a href="https://www.wthr.com/article/news/death-penalty-request-in-triple-murder/531-6b9d5651-7f0e-4080-8511-f66c5c03353b" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WTHR (2005)</a> <a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-feb-10-na-siblings10-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Times (2005)</a> <a href="https://www.sunjournal.com/2005/02/10/siblings-charged-killing-mother-grandparents-bodies-found-buried-basement/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sun Journal (2005)</a> <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/47624365/leander-joseph-bradley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Find A Grave (2005)</a> <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/47624379/betty_ann-bradley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Find A Grave (2005)</a> <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/47624388/sharon_kay-allen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Find A Grave (2005)</a> Audio/Docs Evil Kin Season 1 Episode 1 Thicker Than Blood Killer Kin Podcast Thicker Than Blood Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dark-deeds--6216218/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dark-deeds--6216218/support</a>.

S03E26: Bound by Blood: Kenneth and Kari Allen

<description>In February 2010, the quiet town of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, was shaken by a crime so senseless it defied logic. &lt;b&gt;Jennifer Daugherty&lt;/b&gt;, a 30-year-old woman known for her kind heart and trusting nature, thought she was spending time with friends. Instead, she walked into a trap that would lead to one of the most harrowing cases of group-think and depravity in modern history. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A group of six people she met and befriended at a place called West Place Clubhouse held Jennifer hostage in an apartment they all shared on North Pennsylvania Avenue for almost 2 days while they brutally tortured and humiliated her due to one group member's jealousy. The group ultimately decided to kill Jennifer, dismember her, and place her remains in a trash can which they placed in the parking lot of a nearby middle school. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This case brought to light the frequent exploitation and abuse that individuals with intellectual disabilities often face and helped push a law into effect that allows witnesses of crimes to be charged if they don't report the crimes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/20-7805/192791/20210917150855515_knight%20US%20S%20Ct%20brief.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Supremecourt.gov &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.pacourts.us/assets/opinions/Supreme/out/J-24-2020mo%20-%20104607661120024229.pdf?cb=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;PAcourts.us (2020)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.post-gazette.com/news/crime-courts/2022/05/31/angela-marinucci-greensburg-six-youngest-re-sentence-life-prison-jennifer-daugherty-torture-murder/stories/202205310099" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Pittsburgh Post Gazette (2022) &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/wbna35370263" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;NBC News (2010) &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrime/comments/mtno1v/jennifer_daugherty_was_stabbed_to_death_on/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;r/TrueCrime (2022) &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Audio/Docs &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://youtu.be/nc9Hf7pnFqQ?si=GBAWMK4HEz0beccD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Very Local |YouTube| Hometown Tragedy: The Twisted Horror of the Greensburg 6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cruel Intentions: Frenemies: Loyalty Turned Lethal (2013) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Become a supporter of this podcast: &lt;a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dark-deeds--6216218/support?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=rss"&gt;https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dark-deeds--6216218/support&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
