Executioner’s Song



Welcome back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast.

Just a quick reminder that new episodes are out on the 15th and 30th of each month, with occasional bonus episodes, so be sure to hit subscribe so you don’t miss one.

This continues our series of Based on a True Story movies and the true crime cases behind them.  Let me tell you that doing the research for these movies for my podcast has become a little Rabbit Hole of it’s own.  While I was researching for this episode I found another movie, on this case, that I had never heard of.  Turned out to be really good and well worth the time, and worth featuring.  I have found many other movies while researching the cases, so I have a long list to cover….and to use as bonus movie names for you.

Rabbit Hole Two: More Movies



Welcome Back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast.  We have two new true crime cases today that movies were made about, continuing with our Based on a True Story theme. Each episode stands on it’s own, so you don’t have to be caught up on episodes in the series or anything like that.  Each episode will have movies that were based on a true story, and we will go over the movie and the real story behind it.  This is Rabbit Hole 2. The two movies today are:  Out of The Darkness and Hunt For The I-5 Killer.

Rabbit Hole: Based on a True Story



Rabbit Hole:  Based on a True Story: Serial Killer Edition

Welcome back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast!

I am continuing here with our Based on a True Story series.  This is the first one on Serial Killers.

There are a lot of movies made about serial killers.   For instance, there are at least four movies about Ted Bundy.  There are at least two on Jeffrey Dahmer, two or more on John Wayne Gacy, two on the Zodiac Killer, etc.  For this series we will go over the movies and the crimes of these as well as all the lesser known serial killers.   Hopefully you will find a few movies you want to watch and possibly along the way learn a few interesting things, you didn’t know before. And of course, there will be names of some bonus movies at the end.

No Option But Murder



No Option But Murder.  In the summer of 1998 a computer expert feels his marriage is not up to par and rather than getting a divorce, he dates women online.  In the meantime he does a little research to find other ways to get rid of her. But he is surprised when she comes to him and asks for a divorce.  Everything changes then.

We also go over an incredibly similar case that took place five years before this one, with the body dump being in the same location.
