  She Screamed Through the Motel Wall. He Had a Handcuff Key.

  Oct 3, 20267 min

  New Jersey knew him as a computer operator. Married. Three kids in Lodi. A man who said the night shifts were work. In Times Square hotel rooms, he was the Torso Killer. For more than a decade Richard Cottingham abducted and murdered women in North Jersey and midtown Manhattan, then drove home. Firefighters found two women without heads or hands. A fingerprint turned up under a motel bed. He is still confessing. The number he claims is not the number a court has proved. This episode is the scream a maid heard in room 117, the survivor who ended the alibi, and the names that took decades to come back. I’m Alexander Lawson. Press play.

  She Ran Barefoot From His Plane. The Map Had 24 Graves.

  Oct 3, 20268 min

  Anchorage knew him as Bob the baker. Quiet. Married. A record-holding bowhunter who sold doughnuts to cops. In the bush along the Knik River, he was something else. For twelve years Robert Hansen abducted women, flew them into the Alaska wilderness, and hunted them. He confessed to seventeen murders. Most of the city never looked twice, until a seventeen-year-old ran barefoot and handcuffed from his plane at Merrill Field. This episode is the escape that broke the case, the aviation map marked with graves, and the names that took decades to come back. I’m Alexander Lawson. Press play.

  The Party That Wasn’t: Albert Fish and the Disappearance of Grace Budd

  Oct 3, 20264 min

  June 3rd, 1928. A gray-haired man tells a Manhattan mother he has come to take her daughter to a children’s party. Grace Budd is ten. She puts on a white dress. She does not come home. For six years the lie holds. Then a letter arrives, and the police find Albert Fish — the man the press will call the Gray Man, the Werewolf of Wysteria, the Brooklyn Vampire. He is convicted of Grace’s murder. Investigators have long tied him to other missing children, including Francis McDonnell and Billy Gaffney. He is executed at Sing Sing in 1936. In this episode of A True Crime Podcast, Alexander Lawson tells the American case without the letter and without a catalogue of harm: the door that opened, the years he walked, and the name that belongs first. Content warning: the murder of a child and sexual violence against children. This episode is a record, not entertainment.

  The Bushy-Haired Stranger: Diane Downs

  Oct 3, 20268 min

  On a warm night in May 1983, Diane Downs pulled up to a Springfield, Oregon hospital with three shot children in her car and a story about a stranger on a dark country road. One child was already dead. Host Alexander Lawson follows the case that made investigators stop looking for that man and start looking at the woman who drove them in: the slow car, the wound in the wrong arm, the diaries, and the daughter who lived to tell a jury her mother went to the trunk.

  Peter Tobin: The Handyman Under the Church Floor

  Sep 30, 20269 min

  In September 2006, Polish student Angelika Kluk vanished from a Glasgow church. Days later, police lifted the floorboards and found her body. The handyman was already gone — and the name he’d given the priest was a lie. When his DNA hit the national database, it didn’t just identify a killer. It opened a trail across the UK: aliases, stolen years, and two teenagers missing since 1991 whose remains were later recovered from a garden in Margate. Host Alexander Lawson tells the court-proven story of Peter Tobin — the murders of Angelika Kluk, Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol, the 1993 attacks that put him on the system, Operation Anagram, and the questions police never closed before he died in custody in 2022. Content warning: rape, murder, and violence against women and girls. This episode sticks to what the courts established.
