·57 min·3 clips

Ellen Greenberg had more than 20 stab wounds, yet authorities ruled the death a suicide.

1. The Pandemonium Witches: Murders, Mystery, and Mayhem uses this S2.E1 season premiere to launch a year-end crime recap and the new Serotonin Saturdays format. 2. Kat and Rachel host the episode together, and they say Meg and Em will now appear only as guests because of their other commitments. 3. The episode exists to reset the show’s tone by balancing true-crime coverage with hope, healing, and “the smallest of victories.” 4. JonBenet Ramsey’s case gets the first major update, with Boulder, Colorado police reinterviewing witnesses and reexamining physical evidence. 5. Kat says improved DNA profiling, touch DNA analysis, and genetic genealogy could help identify a match from trace evidence. 6. The hosts note that the Ramsey family has criticized the original investigation while praising renewed efforts. 7. The Austin yogurt shop murders appear next, with four teenage girls killed in 1991 and a 2025 DNA breakthrough identifying Robert Eugene Rasch. 8. Kat says the DNA match exonerated people who had been wrongfully convicted for decades. 9. A New York update follows, where three cold cases from 2005, 1997, and 1964 were solved with DNA and exhumed remains. 10. The episode also mentions a 1967 rape and murder case that led to a 92-year-old man’s conviction in 2025 after clothing preserved for 60 years produced a DNA match. 11. Houston bayou deaths become a major discussion point, with social-media speculation about a serial killer colliding with police explanations about homelessness, substance use, and accidental drowning. 12. Kat introduces the phrase “cornflake unaliver” as her label for serial killers during the recap. 13. The hosts also mention Matías Parado in Argentina, who was arrested in August 2025 after human remains were found inside his home. 14. Glenn Edward Rogers is named as the “cross-country killer,” and the hosts say he was executed in the U.S. in 2025. 15. The Ventura strangler case is described as a DNA-linked prosecution that began with Warren Luther Alexander’s arrest in 2024 and continued into 2025. 16. The episode then shifts to documentaries, including The Hunting Party, Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Deadly American Marriage, and A Deadly American Marriage. 17. Kat and Rachel rate the documentaries with a knife scale from one knife to five knives, with five knives reserved for the most disturbing material. 18. Their tone is conversational, fast-moving, and full of side comments, with interruptions about pregnancy, work schedules, and household noise. 19. Listeners who follow unresolved cases, DNA updates, and documentary recommendations will get the most out of this episode. 20. Listeners who prefer tightly edited, spoiler-free true crime may want to skip it.
