What happens when a 20-year cold case suddenly breaks wide open?

I'm Tochukwu Ezebube, and for the past 7 years, I've been digging into the darkest corners of unsolved murders that police gave up on. What started as a journalist covering local crime stories turned into an obsession that cost me sleep, relationships, and nearly my sanity.

But it also led to something incredible: 3 cold cases reopened, 2 killers caught, and 1 innocent man freed.

Whispers of Crime isn't just another true crime podcast. It's where forgotten victims finally get their voices heard and families get the answers they've waited decades for.

Every week, I take you inside cases that will make your blood run cold:

Serial killers who are still walking free (including one who lives closer to you than you think)
Murder cases the police "closed" but never solved
Missing people whose disappearances hide shocking family secrets
DNA breakthroughs that are changing everything we thought we knew

I don't just tell you what happened. I show you the crime scene photos, play you the 911 calls, and take you inside the interrogation rooms where killers finally break down and confess sometimes.

Warning: These aren't bedtime stories. Last week, a listener called to say my episode on the "Playground Killer" made her check on her daughter three times that night. Another wrote to tell me she solved a 15-year-old missing person case in her hometown after hearing my tips on spotting patterns.

The victims trusted the wrong person. The families trusted the wrong system. The killers thought they got away with it.

They were all wrong.

If you can handle the truth about what people are really capable of, hit play. But don't listen alone.

New episodes drop every Tuesday and Friday. Subscribe now because these cases won't solve themselves.

"GOD Told Me To KILL 3 MILLION People... And I Listened." | The Joseph Kallinger Case

What happens when a father believes God is speaking directly to him, commanding unspeakable acts? Joseph Kallinger was not your typical serial killer. He was a Philadelphia shoemaker, a family man, and someone who heard voices that changed everything.

In 1974, something dark began. Kallinger claimed a floating head named Charlie appeared to him with divine orders. The mission? Kill three million people. But this wasn't just another case of a lone madman. Kallinger did something that still haunts investigators today. He brought his own 13 year old son along for the crimes.

The truth about what happened inside those homes is more disturbing than you can imagine. Torture. Terror. A crime spree that left multiple victims. And through it all, a teenage boy watching his father commit horrible acts, believing they were doing God's work.

But here's what makes this case truly bizarre. Kallinger had an IQ of only 82. He suffered brutal abuse as a child that would make your stomach turn. And yet, when he finally stood trial, doctors declared him legally sane and fit to face justice. How is that possible?

This episode digs deep into the mind of the Shoemaker Killer. We reveal the childhood trauma that shaped him. The religious delusions that consumed him. The night everything went wrong. And the chilling courtroom moments where Kallinger tried to convince everyone he was innocent.

You'll hear about Charlie, the mysterious voice that started it all. The father son dynamic that defies belief. The victims who barely escaped. And the final twisted chapter of Kallinger's life behind bars.

Warning: This case involves child abuse, violence, and disturbing psychological manipulation. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
