| 6/25/26 | ![]() Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker Case): The Untold Cost of Investigative Failure | "How many lives could have been saved if the warning signs had been connected sooner?"In the mid-1980s, a wave of unprecedented terror gripped Southern California. Windows were nailed shut, lights were on throughout the night, and ordinary communities found themselves at the mercy of a predatory phantom. The media gave him a moniker that froze the blood of millions: "The Night Stalker." But away from the sensational headlines, a devastating reality was unfolding; one marked by fragmented police jurisdictions, catastrophic political blunders, and an analog system entirely unequipped to track a transient killer.In this episode of When Killers Get Caught, host Brittany Ransom shifts the lens away from the killer's dark celebrity to honor the real people behind the statistics. We strip away the mythology of Richard Ramirez to examine the human cost of the tragedy, the structural failures that kept him on the streets for 14 terrifying months, and the ordinary East L.A. citizens who finally refused to let him disappear again.The Victims Before the Headlines: Restoring the names, lives, and humanity of those targeted, including Jennie Vincow, Maxon and Lela Kneiding, Vincent and Maxine Zazzara, and the brave young survivors like six-year-old Anastasia Hronas.The Anatomy of a Ghost: How Ramirez’s unmapped, transient status allowed him to exploit the margins of Los Angeles and slip between the cracks of a fragmented legal system.Investigative Blunders & Political Egos: A deep dive into the shocking missteps that compromised the hunt. Including the infamous Dianne Feinstein shoe press conference and the live media leak of the killer's stolen getaway vehicle.The Streets Take Back Control: The visceral moment a neighborhood cornered a monster, proving the manhunt wouldn’t end with a SWAT raid, but with ordinary people shouting “¡El Matón!”The Endless Trial & Death Row Gridlock: An exploration of the toxic courtroom spectacle, the "Night Stalker Groupies," and the philosophical failure of a 24-year death row sentence that was ultimately beaten by cancer.A Note from Brittany: When Killers Get Caught will be taking a brief mid-summer production break for the month of July to prepare our next season of deep dives. Brand-new episodes will return on August 6th!Connect with the Show: In the meantime, catch regular updates, true crime discussions, and short-form video breakdowns by following us on social media:Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhenKillersGetCaughtFollow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@caughtpodcastGet the Gear: https://www.caught-podcast-shop.fourthwall.comCase Submissions: CaseCloserSubmissions@gmail.comBusiness Inquiries: Caughtpodcast@gmail.comMusic featured in this episode is used with permission from Myuu. https://open.spotify.com/artist/5sP3ci0jwrXUBo76t8pGTFIf you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to leave a five-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify it helps more listeners discover When Killers Get Caught. | — | ||||||
| 6/18/26 | ![]() Beneath the Sequins: The Hidden Body of Dorian Corey | When ballroom icon Dorian Corey died in 1993, friends packing her closet made a horrifying discovery: a mummified body hidden inside a vintage trunk. For 25 years, a secret had been sitting just feet from where she slept. Who was the man in the dark?This week on When Killers Get Caught, host Brittany Ransom pulls back the heavy layers of sequins, fabric, and history to dissect one of the strangest and most claustrophobic hidden-body cases in modern true-crime history.When investigators opened that green steamer trunk labeled "Halloween," they uncovered a meticulously concealed crime scene: the remains of Robert Worley, a man who had vanished off the face of the earth in 1968, shot a single time in the back of the head.How did a prominent cultural icon and star of the groundbreaking documentary Paris Is Burning hide a body in plain sight for a quarter of a century while hosting parties, mentoring youth, and living a highly public life?In this episode, we explore:The Mother of the House: The immense cultural legacy, brilliant fashion design work, and unmatched wisdom of Dorian Corey.Centering Robert Worley: Reclaiming the identity, struggles, and history of a victim who became a 25-year secret.The Parallel World of 1968: A deep look into the mechanics of justice, and why a marginalized person in mid-century Manhattan would make the morally impossible choice to hide a body rather than call the police.The Final Artifact: The unsettling fictional manuscript found in Dorian’s apartment that mirrored the real-world crime.Because justice isn't always delivered in a courtroom. Sometimes, it's delivered by time.Join the Case Closers Community: 📱 TikTok: @caughtpodcast 📸 Instagram: @whenkillersgetcaught 🛒 Get the Gear: caught-podcast-shop.fourthwall.com 📩 Case Submissions & Business Inquiries: CaseCloserSubmissions@gmail.comEnd credit music featured in this podcast is used with permission from Myuu.https://open.spotify.com/artist/5sP3ci0jwrXUBo76t8pGTF? | — | ||||||

| 1/29/26 | ![]() The Lie Is the Point: Who Gets to Be an American When State Violence Is Justified | Every time a Black person is killed, the lie arrives faster than the facts.He had a gun. He was high. She was threatening.In this alternative episode of When Killers Get Caught, Brittany Ransom steps away from a traditional case to examine a pattern that stretches from Emmett Till to the present day and why the phrase “they’re killing Americans now” is landing as confirmation, not concern, for Black Americans and other marginalized communities.This episode explores how state violence has historically been justified through dehumanization, fear, and selective citizenship. From Indigenous displacement and slavery to policing, internment, mass detention, and modern use-of-force narratives.Drawing on history, law, and the warnings of James Baldwin, this episode asks a difficult but necessary question: Who is recognized as fully human, and when does injustice finally “count”?This is not about partisanship. It’s about citizenship, power, and the cost of a system that teaches itself how to look away.Content warning: This episode discusses state violence, racism, and historical trauma.Sources for this episode include U.S. Supreme Court decisions, federal legislation, Department of the Interior reports, and the work of James Baldwin, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Michelle Alexander, Erika Lee, and other historians and legal scholars.Follow and join the conversation:📱 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@caughtpodcast📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whenkillersgetcaughtHave a case, story, or idea you’d like us to explore?

| 6/9/23 | ![]() Stephanie Kane & The Murder She Couldn't Forget | Welcome to a brand new episode of When Killers Get Caught! Thanks for stopping by and giving this podcast a listen. In Season 3 I'll be doing normal deep dives on my own but I also wanted to talk with people who've been effected by crime, so you'll be hearing from some writers who felt connected to crime and victims too. 1-2x a month we'll have these special guests as a way to speak to people involved in cases and not just about them. Our guest today was just a young 20 year old college student when her father in law used her as an alibi for a heinous murder. That murder consumed Stephanie for decades until she wrote the book A Quiet Time and then to Stephanie surprise, cold case detectives opened the case back up and now she was part of the case in a different way. The experience of being on the other side of the justice sysstem inspired Stephanie to write her final book about the murder: True Crime Redux.
