TGF Aileen Carol Wuornos
This week on The Guilty Files, we’re diving deep into one of the most complex and controversial figures in American criminal history: Aileen Wuornos. She’s been called a monster, a victim, a vigilante. Some say she was born evil. Others believe she was broken by a world that never gave her a chance. What’s undeniable is that her case challenges the way we think about justice, trauma, and the system that handles both.
To do this story justice, we’re breaking it into three episodes—each with a distinct lens.
Episode 1: The Cold Hard Facts
🎙️ Hosted by Brian
[Released Monday]
We start with the concrete: dates, bodies, bullets, arrests. In this episode, Brian walks us through the straight-up facts of the Aileen Wuornos case. No speculation. No narrative spin. Just the known timeline—from her early run-ins with the law to the seven murders she confessed to, and everything in between.
We cover how Aileen met her victims, the consistent MO in each killing, and the role her partner Tyria Moore played in the investigation. Brian also unpacks the trial and how Aileen's own words in court contributed to her conviction. It's uncomfortable, direct, and necessary.
If you're new to the case or think you know the headlines but not the details, this episode is your foundation.
Episode 2: Rewired – The What Ifs and the Overlooked
🎙️ Hosted by Dani
[Coming Wednesday]
Now that the facts are laid out, Dani flips the script. This Rewired episode isn't about the known—it's about the possible. Dani explores the tangled web of abuse, mental health struggles, and systemic failure that surrounded Aileen Wuornos long before she ever picked up a gun.
Could she have been helped? Was she acting in self-defense, as she claimed? Why did the media and the courts seem more interested in creating a symbol than understanding the person? Dani takes a closer look at the investigators, the legal process, and the role of Aileen’s trauma history—connecting dots the justice system never really bothered to.
This one is for listeners who want more than a crime scene report—it's about context, consequences, and questions that still don’t have clear answers.
Episode 3: The Breakdown – Brian & Dani Co-Host
🎙️ Releases Friday
We wrap the week with both hosts at the mic. Brian brings the facts. Dani brings the nuance. Together, they revisit the case and hash out where they agree, where they don’t, and what still haunts them about the Aileen Wuornos story.
Expect tension, open debate, and honest reflection. Did justice get served? Was the system complicit? Did Aileen ever really stand a chance? And how do we talk about serial killers who don’t fit the mold?
This episode doesn’t promise closure—but it does promise perspective.
Make sure you’re subscribed to The Guilty Files Podcast wherever you listen.
This is a case that deserves more than a soundbite, and we’re giving it the time it demands.

John Wayne Gacy
John Wayne Gacy: Evil in Plain Sight
He was a contractor. A volunteer. A man who dressed up as a clown at kids’ parties.
John Wayne Gacy didn’t hide in the shadows—he was right there, in the open. Smiling. Charming. Trusted. All while burying the truth beneath his own house.
Between 1972 and 1978, Gacy murdered 33 young men and boys. For years, no one suspected a thing.
At The Guilty Files, we don’t just retell infamous cases—we break them apart. And this one demanded a full three-episode arc. One story. Three voices. Every angle.
Here’s how we covered one of the darkest chapters in true crime history:
EPISODE 1: TRUE CRIME UNCOVERED — The Straight Facts with Brian
In the first episode of our series, host Brian King-Sharp lays out the Gacy timeline with forensic clarity. No drama. No filler. Just the hard evidence, step by step.
We start with Gacy’s carefully constructed image—a respected man in his community, known for his generosity and business savvy. But beneath the surface, something much darker was happening.
As young men began to disappear, police overlooked key red flags. Gacy already had a criminal record. He was questioned. And still—he kept getting away with it.
This episode takes you through:
✔️ Gacy’s background and how he gained trust
✔️ The missing persons reports that were brushed aside
✔️ The investigation that eventually led police back to Gacy
✔️ The discovery of the crawl space—and the 29 bodies buried beneath
✔️ His trial, his conviction, and his chilling final words before execution
This is the foundation. The straight-line timeline of how one man manipulated, murdered, and managed to hide it all in plain sight.
EPISODE 2: TRUE CRIME REWIRED — The Human Side with Dani
Gacy didn’t operate in isolation. He was surrounded by people—neighbors, parents, survivors—who saw pieces of the truth but were ignored.
In Rewired, host Dani brings you closer to those stories. The overlooked. The unheard. The ones who lived near the horror and felt something was wrong.
This immersive episode tells the story from the ground level:
A teenage boy who goes to a job interview and never comes home
A mother left in limbo, fighting for police to take her seriously
Neighbors who questioned the strange smells and weird behavior—but were dismissed
A survivor who spoke up—and was doubted
This isn’t a recap. It’s a visceral retelling that centers on the people who were failed—not just by Gacy, but by the systems that should’ve protected them.
Dani’s episode reminds us: this story isn’t just about a killer. It’s about the silence that let him keep killing.
EPISODE 3: TRUE CRIME REVISITED — The Full Breakdown with Brian & Dani
We’ve told the story. We’ve stepped inside it. Now we ask: How did this go on for so long?
In our final episode, Brian and Dani come together to examine the breakdowns that allowed John Wayne Gacy to keep murdering for years—right under law enforcement’s nose.
They don’t just talk about what happened. They dig into why it happened.
Inside this discussion:
🧠 The warning signs that weren’t acted on
🧠 How bias, assumptions, and Gacy’s “respectable” image shielded him
🧠 The failure of police to connect cases and trust victims
🧠 What this case still teaches us about power, privilege, and accountability
This isn’t about turning Gacy into a legend. It’s about exposing every part of the machine that let him operate unchecked—and what still needs fixing.
The Gacy Case: One Story. Three Perspectives.
John Wayne Gacy didn’t hide. He smiled, hosted parties, shook hands—and killed.
At The Guilty Files, we tell cases like this the only way they deserve to be told: from every angle.

Jeffrey Dahmer
Jeffrey Dahmer: What We Know, What We Ignored, What It Still Means
Between 1978 and 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 young men and boys. The crimes were brutal—marked by manipulation, sexual violence, and unspeakable aftermaths. But what made Dahmer one of the most infamous serial killers in modern American history wasn’t just what he did.
It was how long he got away with it.
Over three episodes on The Guilty Files, we’ve broken down the case of Jeffrey Dahmer—not just as a chilling crime story, but as a case study in system failure, racial bias, and how institutions look away until it’s too late.
This isn’t true crime for shock value. It’s true crime with purpose.
Here’s how we told the story:
EPISODE 1: TRUE CRIME UNCOVERED — The Straight Facts with Brian
In our first episode, host Brian King-Sharp strips the case down to what’s provable, documented, and undeniable. No dramatics. No speculation. Just the raw timeline of how Dahmer’s crimes unfolded.
We start with his first known attack—and then the eerie pattern of victims who disappeared across more than a decade. Brian walks through the missed warnings: the early signs, the repeated interactions with law enforcement, and the night one victim managed to escape, leading police straight to Dahmer’s door.
Then came the search of Dahmer’s Milwaukee apartment—and the discovery that stopped the country cold.
Inside this episode:
✔️ A full timeline of Dahmer’s murders, from 1978 to 1991
✔️ How he lured victims and kept suspicion at bay
✔️ The details of the apartment search and what police found
✔️ The trial, the verdict, and the media storm that followed
You’ve heard the headlines. This is the version that holds up to scrutiny.
EPISODE 2: TRUE CRIME REWIRED — The Human Experience with Dani
The press labeled him a monster. But what did it feel like to live near Jeffrey Dahmer? To know something was wrong—and not be believed?
In Rewired, host Dani takes a different approach. Using verified case details as the base, she builds a vivid narrative that places you inside the fear, frustration, and overlooked lives that surround this case.
This episode brings you closer to the human side:
The quiet panic of a young man realizing he might not survive the night
A neighbor who knew something was off—and tried to alert police
The moment the city cracked open and the truth spilled out
The community left behind to make sense of it all
This isn’t just about what happened—it’s about how it was allowed to happen. Told from the ground level, this is the part of the Dahmer story most people miss.
If you’ve listened to true crime podcasts like Lore, Welcome to Night Vale, or My Favorite Murder, this narrative experience hits home in a different way.
EPISODE 3: TRUE CRIME REVISITED — The Big Conversation with Brian & Dani
The story has been told. The emotions have been felt. Now it’s time to dig in.
In the final episode of our Dahmer series, Brian and Dani come together to ask the hard questions—and hold the system accountable.
They don’t just revisit what Dahmer did. They unpack why he wasn’t stopped. How race and class shaped who was heard and who was ignored. And what this case still reveals about policing, bias, and blind spots in America.
This conversation covers:
🧠 The repeated red flags police missed—and why they missed them
🧠 How Dahmer’s victims—many of them young men of color—were failed
🧠 What this case says about trust, privilege, and selective justice
🧠 Why the damage lingers in Milwaukee to this day
No sensationalism. Just the truth—and the uncomfortable realities we can’t afford to overlook.
Three Episodes. One Case. Every Angle.
The Jeffrey Dahmer case has been picked apart for years. But on The Guilty Files, we go deeper. We tell one story, three ways:
🧊 Monday – True Crime Uncovered: The cold facts with Brian

The Atlanta Child Murders
The Atlanta Child Murders: One Case, Three Perspectives
It started with one missing child. Then another. And another.
Between 1979 and 1981, Atlanta was haunted by a slow-burning nightmare: dozens of Black children, teens, and young adults were abducted and murdered. The fear was constant. The answers were few. And decades later, the question still echoes—was justice ever really served?
At The Guilty Files, we don’t rush through stories like this. We sit with them. We pull them apart. We tell them from all sides.
That’s why we’ve dedicated three full episodes to the Atlanta Child Murders—each one told from a different angle. This case isn’t just about what happened. It’s about how it was handled, how it was felt, and why so much of it still doesn’t add up.
Here’s how we covered it:
EPISODE 1: TRUE CRIME UNCOVERED — The Facts with Brian
In our opening episode, host Brian King-Sharp takes you through the forensic timeline—clean, methodical, and focused. This is the blueprint of the case: the names, the dates, the victims, the patterns.
We examine the early days of the investigation, when panic quietly turned to full-blown fear. Atlanta’s Black communities were sounding the alarm, but the response was slow and fractured. More children went missing. Bodies turned up in rivers, forests, and vacant lots.
Then came the manhunt. The pressure to find someone—anyone—was enormous. When Wayne Williams was arrested, it looked like the nightmare might be ending. But here’s the truth: Williams was never tried for killing any of the children. Just two adults.
So, did the police really solve the case? Or did they close it because the city needed a villain?
This episode gives you the foundation:
✔️ A precise timeline of the murders and disappearances
✔️ Victim profiles and missed investigative opportunities
✔️ The arrest and trial of Wayne Williams
✔️ The controversy that’s still unsettled to this day
No conspiracies. No wild guesses. Just what we know—and what we still don’t.
EPISODE 2: TRUE CRIME REWIRED — The Human Side with Dani
In episode two, we leave the court files behind and shift into something more intimate. Hosted by Dani, True Crime Rewired is a reimagined, dramatized telling of the case that brings the emotion front and center.
What did it feel like to live through this as a parent? A neighbor? A child?
This immersive episode doesn’t deal in headlines. It captures the lived experience:
A mother’s quiet dread when her child doesn’t come home
The weight pressing on classrooms, barbershops, and playgrounds
The silent unraveling of trust in the system meant to protect them
A community holding its breath with every new disappearance
It’s storytelling designed to pull you in and hold you there. If you think you already know the Atlanta Child Murders case, this version will make you see it differently.
For fans of Lore, My Favorite Murder, and Welcome to Night Vale, this is where true crime meets narrative depth.
EPISODE 3: TRUE CRIME REVISITED — The Breakdown with Brian & Dani
We’ve told the story. We’ve stepped inside it. Now, we break it down.
In the final episode of the arc, Brian and Dani come together to dissect the case from both sides—one bringing the law enforcement perspective, the other bringing the lens of community, culture, and critical thinking.
This is where the real questions get asked:
🗣️ Did Wayne Williams actually do it—and if so, was he the only one?
🗣️ Why were so many of the murders linked together? Should they have been?
🗣️ How did politics, pressure, and race play into the case narrative?
🗣️ What key evidence was ignored or left untested?
No theory is off the table, but everything gets held up to scrutiny. It’s the most honest, open, and unfiltered conversation we’ve had yet—and it might change the way you see the case entirely.
One Case. Three Voices. Every Angle.
The Atlanta Child Murders deserve more than a single episode. They deserve clarity, empathy, and depth. That’s why The Guilty Files tells every case three ways:
🧊 Monday: True Crime Uncovered – The cold, hard facts with Brian
🔥 Wednesday: True Crime Rewired – The dramatized retelling with Dani
🧠 Friday: True Crime Revisited – The full breakdown and discussion with Brian & Dani
