E182: Marcus Delon Wesson

Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color

What started out as a routine custody dispute at a house in Fresno, CA, escalated into the worst mass murder in Fresno's history, when Marcus Delon Wesson murdered nine people, one adult and eight children. All of the victims were his own children, fathered by incestuous relationships with his daughters and nieces, as well as the children by his wife.

(note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little)

We dive into the setting (06:39), the killers early life (14:08) and the timeline (16:10). Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (45:49), our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap, followed by "Where are they now?" (55:03).

As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs (01:04:04).

This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams.

Thanks for listening! This is a weekly podcast and new episodes drop every Thursday, so until next time... look alive guys, it's crazy out there!
