True Crime Cleanup On Aisle H

Kurt Money and Kateline revisit the coveted classic and all-timer, FORENSIC FILES, to talk about the 2008 murder of Alan Helmick in Colorado. His wife, Miriam, is super upset and just found a greeting card on her doorstep with a message from the killer. What does it say?! This episode is from the final season of FORENSIC FILES, Season 14, which aired in 2011. Also, K$ debuts a segment that will most likely never see the light of day again.

Kurt Money and Kateline are talking about the brand new three-part series on HBO called A KILLER STORY. Funny thing about this killer story though, it's one we have already heard! Episode #78 Deadly Obsession of our podcast talked about the Dateline on this case. But what makes it so necessary to revisit is....the fools in this documentary think Dana Chandler is wrongfully accused!! No, for real!! So the duo break down each episode and talk in awe at the seemingly bright minds that put this together and if they believe what Eileen and Keen Umbehr are trying to sell. Amazing stuff! Listen now!

Kurt Money and Kateline talk about the HBO jam 911: Did The Killer Call? It is the show that presents three stories of murder and its up to you to decide the answer. For us, the answer was simple. Talk about Season 1 Episode 3, "Reaction To Murder," but only talk about the case in Georgia, 2002, when Walter Mason calls 911 to report finding his wife murdered in the kitchen. Oddly, K$ does not say anything The 'Burbs-related or any quotes about Walter or Queenie or anything. To make up for that egregious error, he is going to do a killer 'Burbs ref that works best in text form....WALTER, I HAVE YOUR DOG.

Kurt Money and Kateline breakdown the 1980 murder of Marlene Oakes and how wrong and dumb her husband, Bill Major, was when he said oh she just ran away on you, kids. One of those kids, LaLana Bramble, will spend years thinking her mother abandoned them. Then in 2001, new DNA advancements will confirm for her what her grandma said about her mom years ago, "Oh, she's BEEN dead." You might be wondering what true crime episode and show we talked about that covered this case. There is a show we watched on Prime, but it is so NOT a show, and is so clearly a literal rip-off of better shows that there should be legal action. So I don't want to promote it here. We do also discuss the FORENSIC FILES episode that covers this case in the proper way, and that can be seen in Season 9's "A Daughter's Journey."

Kurt Money and Kateline kick off season four by talking about three murders that took place in Bellevue, WA, in 1990. Dr. Donald Reay was the medical examiner at the time and it is he who shall be revealing all these secrets...one of which is, Dr. Reay is still at it! Did 5,000 autopsies so far, including the cases of The Green River Killer and Ted Bundy. It is his expert opinion and knowledge that will help bring down the sadistic SOB who killed Mary Ann Pohlreich, Carole Beeth, Andrea "Randi" Levine in June of 1990. The true crime episode that gets cleaned up today is "A Taste of Murder" from the show SECRETS OF THE MORGUE. Check out the insta for any photos we mention in the episode! @truecrimecleanup

Holy cow, Holtheads, we've done it. We've reach the time where we sneak into the Cineramadome and have our very own awards show, giving recognition to moments from season 3. Due to popular demand, this Lestys is considerably shorter than previous ceremonies. Tune in next week for the premiere of Season Four!

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the show Homicide: Hours To Kill, yet another in a long line of true crime shows that claim to have aa new angle on the idea that “murders happen cuz of the day it happens in.” You can catch this show on Amazon Prime, we discuss the season one episode “No Place Like Home” about the murder of Diane Holik, a 43-year-old IBM specialist who met a mysterious end during a tornado in Austin, Texas, 2001. The duo break down the many suspects in this case which is a shock to neither of them because of Kateline’s proven theory.

Kurt Money and Kateline talk about he 2025 episode of A Body in the Basement about the missing person case filed in Salinas, CA, in 1984 that wasn't solved until 1998 when a drunken bet results in a lady in a crawlspace tugging on a shoe being worn by a skeleton. This really happened! Listen now to hear the details and also hear about how Christopher Denoyer did not run away from home in 1984 even if he had a bunch of great reasons to make it happen, number one being his stepdad, Jackson Villarta. The LESTYs are around the corner! Don't forget to tell us what your favorite episode from this season was (all episodes since #97) and see if it gets voted to the top.

Kurt Money and Kateline go back to the British gem WORLD’S MOST EVIL KILLERS to hear the story of Charles Albright, aka The Eyeball Killer. Where did he keep all the eyeballs?! That we will never know. Why hasn’t John Matthews mentioned Regina Smith yet? She was there too, yah know. In 1990 Dallax, Texas. Three dead sex workers. All three are missing their eyes. Is The Eyeball KIller a doctor? Or just a real sicko with an X-acto knife? Kurt Money READ THAT BOOK™ so much that he wants to credit it in full where he heard more details about Charles Albright. It is called “True Crime Case Histories: Massive 15-Book Collection: 176 Disturbing True Crime Stories” by Jason Neal. I downlaoded it from Audible and i was not kidding when I say it is 67 hours long. It is a collection of a collection of collections. it rules! So does Forensic Files, which of course comes up tonight in the discussion of hair strands versus DNA in the bulb. Kateline makes a grave mistake twice during her list items because she didn’t catch…

Kurt Money and Kateline breakdown the BBC show buried in the depths of Amazon Prime, “Great Crimes & Trials.” It is about the trials of the Lesbian Vampire Killers in Brisbon, Australia in 1991. Edward Baldock was is found dead on the side of a river, stabbed over 20 times and nude. The killer discussed in this episode is Tracy Wigginton, the titular Lesbian Vampire Killer and arguably the ONLY Lesbian Vampire Killer. Check out Kurt Money talking about new TV over at the mindgrapes YouTube: https://youtube.com/@kmoneysmindgrapes?si=kKE7uCs4slg3H_Hp

Kurt Money and Kateline talk about the new Alan Cumming show THE KILLER AMONG US, the episode about the disappearance of Annie Le at Yale University in 2009. What happened to her, who did it, and why is the show so hard on this Larry guy?!

Kurt Money and Kateline break down an episode of the extremely mediocre and borderline not-good show, Unusual Suspects. Why do a side-by-side comparison of a police sketch to a suspect when the suspect picture is just the actor portraying the suspect? These questions and more will be discussed and derided in today's new episode. The case featured in the episode is the 1985 murder of Katie Eastburn and her two daughters Kara (5) and Erin (3) in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and the nearly two decade search it took to finally catch the killer, once and for all.

Kurt Money and Kateline talk about the newest drop of NETFLIX's Worst Ever series, this time talking about neighbs. You know K$ is in but is Kateline? Yeah she is too because this was a great ep. Hear the remarkable tale of Shawna Scott's survival of a gunshot to the face, the life led of her husband David Scott, who was also a Denny Hamlin fan, so again K$ is on board. A handful of previous episodes get a shoutout in this podcast. Check out the rest of our episodes in your podcast app or check out our YouTube page for all episodes and some episodes with video. Check out K$'s youtube page, Kurt Money's Mindgrapes, for thoughts on new and old TV, including the best comedy on TV, WIDOW'S BAY.

Kurt Money and Kateline go back where it all began...with a DATELINE! And hosted by Keith Friggin' Morrison! "Secrets Unmasked" is about the mysterious 2001 death of 25-year-old Regina Hicks in Ohio. And then the not so mysterious arson that took place 20 years later. The title does not lie this is indeed a Dateline heavy with mask talk. Buckle up!

Kurt Money and Kateline break down an episode of THE MURDER TAPES, an ID banger that K$ really likes sometimes and Kateline, well....I think we can all guess how Kateline feels about it. This episode is about the 2018 murder of Lauren DeWise in Bozman, Montana, and the incredible recovery of her roommate, Ashley Van Hemert, who sustained four gunshots to the head then laid in darkness for NINE HOURS before help arrived. Ashley's story is unbelievable...what IS believable is that she named her best friend companion dog "Bronson" after the revered action star of yesterday, Charles Dennis Buchinsky, aka Charles Bronson. Also discussed is a 2025 episode of 20/20 hosted by John Quiñones about this same case called, "You Left Me For Dead." That can be peeped on Hulu if you so choose but K4$ warns you, when JQ does walk and talks he addressed the camera directly. But when he's sitting in a talking head, he is staring off screen like he's telling a producer or something. It's very very annoying!

Kurt Money and Kateline are here with a BREAKING NEWS episode of the pod….we’re talking about the hot off the presses Netflix documentary MATERNAL INSTINCT (2026). Forget Mackenzie Shirilla, Netflix actually found someone far more evil…TAYLOR PARKER. Taylor was a 27 year old woman who already had two kids but then proceeded down a path of a horror and carnage for a bunch of families in Texas since 2020, inlcuding that of victims Braxlynn and Reagan Simmons-Hancock’s family. Also, Wade Griffin is passively involved. This is an absolutely bonkers, terrifying horror story and also made this episode one of the longest to date ever heard in Aisle H! Check out K$'s reviews of new TV like Widow's Bay, Pluribus, The Pitt, Fallout, Cape Fear and Hacks at the official YouTube page, Kurt Money's Mindgrapes (@kmoneysmindgrapes).

Kurt Money and Kateline kick off the show discussing the extremely offensive interrogation of the Deadpool Killer, Wade Wilson, by the Palm Beach Detective Dingus Supreme Louis Potter. The guy is enamored with this killer and abuser Wilson, which you can see for yourself in the Netflix documentary series WORST EX EVER. After that discussion, Kurt Money kicks off an old chat from last year's Patreon about the murder of Geneva MacDonald in Seattle, Washington in 1990. Then learn about the Lizzie Borden-crazy axe killer that haunted Seattle for months, James Cushing. If you would like to sign the petition to get Detective Louis Potter fired, please go here.

Kurt Money and Kateline take their first dive into the world of Nordic true crime with the murder of Jóhann Gíslason by his disgruntled—and drunk—former employee, airline pilot Gunnar Viggó Frederiksen in 1968. We also learn that K$ is smarter than Google when it comes to recognizing Queen Elizabeth and we learn that Kateline is smarter than K$ in the art of language. You can watch True Nordic Crimes on Amazon Prime, it's the very first episode. This is our 138th episode! Happy milestone day!

Kurt Money and Kateline dive into the Netflix documentary series WORST EX EVER, talking the second season episode about the crimes and conviction of Joyce Pelzer. Shawndell McLeod went missing in 2011 and has never been found. Rosalyn Lewis was murdered in 2018 at a Motel 6 in Georgia. Also, Kateline's got a new list item!

Kurt Money and Kateline take their first look at the not-the-best-in-the-genre show WORLD'S MOST EVIL KILLERS to discuss an all-timer of an evil mama, Judy Buenoano. Listen to the ep for details but that last name of hers is her own personal tribute to her first victim. That is true.

Jeffrey Locker was a rich motivational speaker with a loving family. Then why was his body found stabbed to death in the front seat of his Audi in a rough part of town? Kurt Money and Kateline think something is afoot! Give this a listen to hear the most outrageous amount of life insurance ever recorded. This ep was first featured behind the pay wall last year in the now-defunct Patreon.

Kurt Money and Kateline talk about the very new episode of A PLAN TO KILL about the murder of Jocelyn Peters in St. Louis, MO, in 2016. The pregnant 30-year-old teacher was beloved by all and so excited to be a first-time mother. This case involves putting too much trust into a vegetable and also a disappearing act performed live on camera in the interrogation room!

Kurt Money and Kateline watch the s2e19 episode of An Unexpected Killer...and lemme tell ya, this show delivers on that title!!!! Jaws on the floor, eyes agog, unexpected turn for this one. Nina Whitney of Kansas City, MO, is found dead at her place by her daughter, Paige. When cops drag their feet, Paige steps up and becomes Detective Paige blows the whole case wide open.

Kurt Money and Kateline talk about the Holthead selected gem, CITY CONFIDENTIAL, about the would-be Whedbee Murders in Knoxville in June, 1984. Isn't the name Lisa Outlaw a little too on the nose? Oh, and a first time party with VO ALL-TIMER Keith David providing the narration on this season six episode of an A&E Production that you can watch on A&E Crime Central. Also, visit the YouTube channel the duo discuss for a lil context on the mindgrapes when they aren't in the aisle @kmoneysmindgrapes

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the 1986 murder of Sherri Rasmussen. Was it her husband John Reutten? He found the body and he refused to talk to Sherri's family at the crime scene or even the day after at the police station. Or could it be someone else? Someone else that Sherri's dad warned the police about for 20 years before the case was finally solved decades after it happened? And I know this is going to be hard to believe, but the OG Dingus on the case, Detective Lyle Mayer, he promises that he's "very, very good at his job" and that it was most definitely a "burglary gone wrong." Sureeeeeeee.....say Holtheads, the world over. Sureeeeeeee

Kurt Money and Kateline are in the morgue to discuss an absolute homerun of a case for heavyweight medical examiner Dr. Mary Case. The illegal maneuvers she pulls about the exhumation have us impressed. This is about the 1983 murders of Walter Scott and Sharon Williams. Also, Walter Scott was a performer and had a hit in the 1960s called "The Cheater." To reach us, email imlesterholt@gmail.com or message us on IG @truecrimecleanup

Kurt Money and Kateline go back to the fatty who started it all...the two-hour Friday Datelineeeeee......hosted by Blayne Alexander. There was a lot of fun to be had with a return to Datelineland but the roles are reversed: Kateline is out for blood while K$ is on the fence and weighing his options. Was it a suicide or was it a murder? Would Susan Embert be besties with Mustang Sally, she of Mustang, America fame?! You betcha.

Kurt Money and Kateline breakdown an episode of Vanity Fair Confidential, a true crime show that thinks its better than other true crime shows. It is NOT! It is a good show sometimes and this here is a good example of a banging ep, about the trials and tribulations of the Australian Cowboy, his new van and a "short round woman" named Carol. We talk about the 6 murders that took place in the summer of 1980 in Los Angeles that began when two teens hitchhiked to Hollywood from the OC.

Kurt Money and Kateline go back to the golden standard in true crime television, FORENSIC FILES. This time it's season 8's "Dinner and A Movie" about a dumb husband who uses the plot of a made-for-TV movie murder in real life to help his alibi that he was off sailing. Ed Sherman is a dummy. Ellen Sherman deserved better!!! Please listen to this episode where the movie Blackout is discussed and whether or not K$ has seen it. OF COURSE HE HAS.

Kurt Money and Kateline dive back into the well that is HBO's The Friday The 13th Murders, this time talking about episode 6, "She Had No Name." Another Jane Doe situation?! Yes, but with a missing adult this time. Also, the duo discuss the beauty that is Blue Earth...but K$ was really hoping for a picture or something. Or a picture of a keychain. Anything!

Kurt Money and Kateline breakdown the incredible story of Precious Doe, a child whose body was found in 2001 but not identified until 2005. Detective Bernard put his life and soul into this case and good on him, but the true hero, and all-star of the episode is easily...ALONZO WASHINGTON. Give it up for the guy who helped find Precious Doe's identity all the while producing a comic book with his picture on it. Oh, and have you ever wondered what the signifier of an identity was? Or if the face was the face of a person? Well, there's a talking head with a British criminologist that will rock your world.

Kurt Money has finally dragged Kateline to the wonderful world of Neighbs, and how thy entertain thee. This is perhaps our longest episode yet and that's because of the complete monster we discuss, Nova Scotia "denturist" Gabriel Wortman and the horrible acts he committed April 18-19th, 2020. Kurt Money can't decide who the worst Canadian is, Robert Pickton or this Wortman POS. He doesn't debate that in the episode, he's debating it now as he types this description. Pickton probably still takes the cake. But Gabe sucks big time, too. Listen to this episode to find out how!

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the 2004 episode of FORENSIC INVESTIGATORS on the death of Stephen Dempsey and also of family man cab driver Eddie Bahman in Sydney, Australia, in 1994. That's right! Not only is this an episode about cases in Australia, it's an Australian show. Plus...its got some definite FF vibes going for it. Great show gets a great podcast episode about it. Need we say more?

Don’t let that mouthful of a title scare ya, this is another banger of a true crime episode that Kurt Money and Kateline breakdown. You know who you should be scared of? Cherrylle Dell! K$ and KL discuss what she did to anyone who DARED to love her in Canada in the mid-90s. Also, Kurt Money mentions a takedown video he did about the new The ‘Burbs tv show. To watch that, check out the YouTube channel: @kmoneysmindgrapes or on TikTok: @kmoneys_mindgrapes

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the 1994 true crime gem, The Serial Killers, and the episode on Kenneth Allen McDuff, the so-called Broomstick Killer. His nickname sucks and so does he, but you know what doesn't suck? This show, The Serial Killers. It rules!!!! K$ and KL discuss the 1966 murders that put McDuff away, the 1972 ruling that helped him get out in 1990, and the 1991 murders that put him back behind bars for good until his well-earned execution by the state in 1993.

Kurt Money and Kateline go back to the Dateline well for a new update episode about the murder of Joe Hartsfield at the hands of his wife, Sarah. Joe was Sarah's fifth husband but nowhere near the first one she tried to kill. Keith Morrison reports and K$ and KL love every minute of it. Especially the bit about the snoring. That's a K$ fave.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the 2011 death of Ellen Greenberg in Philadelphia, PA. Her fiance, Sam, found her body behind "a locked door" with 20 stab wounds....yet police and sometimes the medical examiner have called this a suicide for 15 years. Say what now?!! K$ and KL investigate and keep their cool about it.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the first episode of the Amazon Prime true crime show, BIZARRE MURDERS. We are not listing the episode title because K$ thinks its a spoiler. An angry husband enlists a hitman to take out his wife and....it does not go well. At the end of the episode, K$ name checks a Crime Junkie episode about the murder of Mary Morris. That episode was from September 23rd, 2024 if you want to check it out, its great. But listen to our ep first!

Kurt Money and Kateline take you behind the (former) paywall for a killer ep covering a doozy of a 48 HOURS episode. It covers the murders on Torrey Pines State Beach in the 1970s...and the number of deaths that followed all the way up until 2014.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the HBO MAX show Who Hired A Hit Man about the murder of Joseph "Big Joe" Niwinski in Harford, CT, in 2000. Found on his head was a business card that said, "Pane Realty." Was this a message from the killer to the dead body, here is your delivery of death to your doorstep?! No, of course not! But the cops sure think its something!

Holy Polygraph, it's a Christmas miracle! Newest episode of the pod drops A DAY EARLY so all you Holtheads can spend the big day doing what you really want: listening to the story of the most twisted case of murder, incest and ziploc bags of your dead wife's hair at the bedside you've ever heard. Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the month old episode of HBO Max's MOTHER MAY I MURDER about Damon and Sonya Bamberg and their love affair for the ages. What's the best method for open mouth kissing, Damon wonders...well, Mommy knows best! Listen now to spend the holidays the way they were meant to be spent, cringing and yelling at your podcast device for the unhinged depravity. "Thasshis MOMMA!"

Kurt Money and Kateline hop across the pond to watch a 22-minute banger of an ep about the plight of Jens Söring and Elizabeth Haystrom for the years 1986 to 1990. Those names sound familiar? They might, because Netflix did a four-part docuseries on this case recently. Guess what, though? This 35 year old 22 minute episode tells the story WAYYYY BETTER. Oh and wouldn't you believe it, cops in the 1980s think for a hot sec that a satanic cult did the crimes. This episode first appeared on our now-defunct Patreon pay wall earlier this year but is on the main feed for the first time TODAY. Kurt Money will give you the scoop at the beginning, but both K$ and KL will be back next Friday with a brand new episode about a hilarious episode of Mother, May I. Michael Winner's True Crimes was streaming on Prime at the time of this recording. Available at ANY time? Our social handles! @truecrimecleanup on Instagram and YouTube!!!

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the shortest Dateline episode in history, "The Ruse," which aired Friday, December 5th, 2025. But even more interesting than that is that it is, in fact, hosted by Lester Holt! This is his first episode that's all his, and well...K$ and KL got questions. Questions for Lester, questions for the producers, and most importantly, questions for the all-timer Deputy Dinguses that dared show their face on TV. In 2018, Tom Perez Jr faced the most harrowing interrogation session with the most questionable of tactics...and a crime hadn't even been committed yet. Who is to blame? Is it the—lol, who are we kidding. The dinguses are to blame!! Give a listen to a fascinating case and our thoughts on where they went wrong and how it went right. Spoiler: The dog, Margo, is the all-star of the episode.

Kurt Money and Kateline head back to the swamps!! Today they discuss the season one episode of Swamp Murders about the murder of Carol Hutto, in Largo, Florida, in December 1976. Have you been feeling like there haven't been any deputy dinguses lately? Well you're in luck! We got a BIG one today! Plus a non-dingus saves the day decades later. True Crime Cleanup on Aisle H is a weekly podcast that recaps an episode of true crime television, both the case it covers and how it's covered. So put on your galoshes and hop in the swamp with us!

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss an episode of the Oxygen/Peacock show, A Plan To Kill. Sam Herr is missing and there's a dead woman in his bedroom with a message written on her back.

True Crime Cleanup on Aisle H is a comedy podcast that covers the events of a true crime show, any crime show, as long as it has a murder it is fair game. They talk details about the case, having respect for the victims while roasting the idiot jerk killers...and the occasional deputy dingus if they're bad at their jobs.

After the super duper episode last week, Kurt Money and Kateline return to the FF well to find their center again. And guess what? All FFs are 10 outta 10s, and that's the case with season 2's "Sex, Lies & DNA" about the murder of Ruby Morris in Phoenix, June 1989. Her husband Earl Morris was on a road trip to manage their daughter's country music career, so there is no way he is involved in the murder. Just like there is no way that's a toup on his head. That's totally real. Give a listen to hear at the very least THREE bomb drops that this 22-minute FF gives the viewer like its nothing. And check out our IG @truecrimecleanup for pics of proof!

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss a three-part documentary series from across the pond, the absolutely BANGIN’ The Body Next Door. A body wrapped 41 times is found in the garden of a four unit apartment complex. The body is only a few weeks old but can only be tied to 70-something Leigh Sabine. Only problem is…Leigh died the month before after a long battle with cancer. So who is the body in the bag and who put it there? This story unfolded in Beddau, Wales, in November of 2015 but the real story begins in New Zealand in 1969. Watch The Body Next Door on BBC Select.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the terrible luck that respected pastor AB Schirmer has when it comes to wives. One wife, Jewel, dies by tripping on the vacuum. Nine years later, Betty (wife #2), takes off her seatbelt moments before dying in a head-on car crash in their 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. This poor guy!! What are the chances?! And are those the only suspicious deaths in AB's life? NOPE!! There is a big debate in this episode about whether a PT Cruiser is blue or silver and if there is one PT Cruiser in this case or two. See the @truecrimecleanup Instagram to see pics for yourself!

CUE THE BAHA MEN, BABY!! MURPHDOG IS BACK IN ACTION!! That's right, Dennis Murphy makes his triumphant return to Dateline for an update episode on the Dan Markel murder case. We've already locked up Charlie Adelson for life...which Adelson is next? Why, Donna, OF COURSE!!!! The entire Adelson clan is super miserable these days and Kurt Money is Here For It™. Did Kateline like the episode better the second time around than she did originally in April of 2024 when we first covered the Dan Markel case? Listen to find out! Also...since this is an update case, K$ and KL are not breaking down the entire case, just discussing what's been added to this, the trial of Donna Adelson. Oh, and Charlie Adelson stubs his toe and absolutely loses it on a prison guard. Top shelf comedy, folks. Listen to episode #33 of the pod to hear our thoughts on the case beat by beat!

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the extremely disturbing and hard-to-believe-but-it-actually-happened "Killer in the Walls" episode of The Real Murders on Elm Street (HBOMax, S1E01 aired 2024). A triple murder in 1987 shocks the residents of Townsend, MA. Even more shocking...the killer hasn't been caught yet. This is a doozy of a case and a pretty dang good podcast episode so give it a listen!
