Killer Moves: A True Crime Podcast

Julie Dunson

Killer Moves is a true crime podcast that takes on a new case in each episode with humor, heart and sass. Your host, Julie Dunson, takes you on journeys of intrigue that involve tragedy, mystery, a search for answers and, always, a hunger for justice. Killer Moves explores recent cases, but also shines a light on older, less notorious cases, all with genuine compassion for the victims. We promise entertaining, if somewhat quirky and irreverent, narrative detail and operate under the assumption that, in unsolved cases, one of our listeners may have the information that could bring closure to grieving families if only we can reach the right person. Join host Julie Dunson in discussions exploring details, theories, and ongoing developments. #letsgetintoit #yallstaysafeoutthere read less

S1E5 The Hello Kitty Murder

S1E5 The Hello Kitty Murder
S1E5 - The Hello Kitty Murder - This episode focuses on the torture and the subsequent murder of Fan Man Yee. This case took place in Hong Kong. This was kind of a creepy thing I read that the designer of Hello Kitty had to say.  Kind of haunting. Hello Kitty was conceived without a smile. The designer did not think it was necessary because the doll appears happy to some and sad to others. The designer stated, upon the inception of Hello Kitty, "we think she shouldn't be tied to an emotion".  And that is why she doesn't have a mouth. Have y'all ever noticed that Hello Kitty doesn't have a mouth? It's pretty weird... The Hello Kitty murder took place in Hong Kong in the spring of 1999. Fan Man Yee was a brotyhel hostess. She was kidnapped and tortured after stealing a wallet.  She picked the wrong man, the wrongest man, to steal a wallet from. She stole a wallet from one of her frequent customers at the brothel - he was a member of The Triad, the Chinese Mafia. Between April 14th and April 15th, 1999, she'd been held captive for about a month, continuously raped and tortured. Her body was decapitated, and her skull was placed inside of a Hello Kitty mermaid plush doll...References:Serena, Katie (30 April 2018). "The Story Of Hong Kong's Notorious "Hello Kitty Murder"".

S1E4 Daniel LaPlante
Join us as we explore the horrendous, bizarre case of Daniel LaPlante. This case is a tale of jealousy, delusion, desperation and misplaced affection, resulting in the loss of three innocent lives. LaPlante is also responsible for the intense traumatization of several other victims, in a series of bizarre acts which would sound too farfetched for fiction. It is these acts for which he has gained his infamy, not the actual crimes he committed. The Boston Globe 10.24.22masslive 3.5.2019Lowell Sun 3.22.2017Lowell Sun 12.1.2007WBUR 3.5.2019masscases.comThe Worcester Telegram and Gazette 6.6.2019Footsteps in the Attic S1E2Investigation Discovery My Worst Nightmare - S2E1Ranker.comThe Elm Street Nightmare - Tom LaneThe Telegraph - 10.12.1988Newspapers.com - The Boston Globe 12.4.1987Bulletin of the American Academy of Psychiatry Law Vol 22 No 1Thank you for listening to Killer Moves!

S1E1 Ignorance, Infanticide and Incest - The Murder of 15 Day Old Caliyah McNabb
On October 8, 2017, the body of 15 day old Caliyah McNabb was found wrapped in a blanket, stuffed in a drawstring bag and wedged under a log mere feet from the trailer park where her family lived. Acting on a 911 called placed the day before, the sheriff's office discovered the small body after Caliyah's mother, Courtney Bell, woke up from a nap and was told by her 2 year old daughter that Caliyah was missing. Baby Caliyah's father, Christopher McNabb, was not at home when officials arrived, but was later apprehended at a local gas station while "searching for his daughter". Autopsy reports showed that 15 day old Caliyah had been killed by blunt force trauma to her head.  How did this 15 day old baby's short life end so violently? Join us as we explore this horrifying crime against an innocent child.  Thank you for listening to Killer Moves! We have a fun YouTube channel with podcast videos at Killer Moves Podcast on YouTube.
