Scams, Money, & Murder

This week on True Crime This Week, Vanessa Richardson examines two brutal mass murderers who managed to evade justice for years. First, the hunt for Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie, the “Butcher of Lyon,” who fled Europe after World War II and built a new life in South America—until relentless Nazi hunters exposed his past. Then, the story of Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso, a sadistic New York mob boss responsible for dozens of murders who continued running the Lucchese crime family while hiding just miles from FBI headquarters. From war crimes and government cover-ups to organized crime and betrayal, this episode explores how long killers can run—and what finally brings them down.

After four young employees were kidnapped and murdered at the Burger Chef restaurant in Speedway, Indiana, the police desperately searched for their killer. The investigation was at a dead end until 1984, when a convict named Donald Wayne Forrester confessed to the murders… but the case was far from closed.

This episode of True Crime This Week dives into two of Boston’s most infamous and enduring mysteries: the chilling 1960s killing spree attributed to the Boston Strangler—capped by Albert DeSalvo’s controversial confession, later recantation, and mysterious prison death—and the audacious 1950 Brink’s heist, where a disciplined crew of professional thieves executed a near-perfect $2.7 million robbery and evaded justice until betrayal from within unraveled their operation. Vanessa Richardson guides listeners through both cases, tracing how fear, political pressure, and well-timed confessions shaped these historic investigations and left behind questions that still haunt Boston today.

In November 1978, four young employees were finishing a late shift at the Burger Chef fast food restaurant in Speedway, Indiana. Later that night, they disappeared… and were later found dead on the outskirts of town. The police had no idea who murdered them — or why.

This episode of True Crime This Week revisits two of the most shocking scandals in sports history: the 1994 assault on Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan—an attack that unraveled into a web of abuse, jealousy, and sabotage involving fellow skater Tonya Harding—and the 2015 murder trial of former NFL star Aaron Hernandez, whose meteoric rise gave way to a life marked by violence, paranoia, and tragedy. Vanessa Richardson chronicles how both athletes’ careers were derailed not by competition, but by criminal choices and destructive influences, revealing the darker side of fame and the devastating consequences when talent collides with turmoil.
