The Blackout Ripper (Bonus Epi)



Welcome back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast!

I have a bonus mini-episode for you today about the Blackout Killer.

In my next upcoming episode:  The Last Hangman, I will be covering Albert Pierrepoint and the movie made about his career as executioner from 1931 to 1956. During his career he executed somewhere between 435 and 600 people. 200 of those were from war crimes that took place during WWII, such as the Beast of Belsen and Irma Grese.

 Pierrepoint executed many notable murderers in the UK, but one that was not featured in the movie, was Gordon Cummins, aka the Blackout Killer or the Blackout Ripper.

 So for this mini-episode we will go over one of the truly horrible men that Albert Pierrepoint had to encounter during his job as head executioner in 1942.

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.

The Caller



A business office in the front of a factory building, gets a phone call.  A man’s voice tells the receptionist, Rose, that there is a body behind their building.

The caller tells the receptionist:  “There is a dead body in the back of your lot.”

Now I have had to answer the phones working in business offices many times over the years and I have got some crank calls, but never that.

The caller hangs up soon after telling her to please report it to authorities.
