DEADLY INTENT
DEADLY INTENT: The Dark Side of Humanity
Hosted by Carman Carrion
Welcome to the shadows, where monsters don't hide under beds—they walk among us wearing human faces.
From the creator of Freaky Folklore, Destination Terror, and Carman's Crypt comes a chilling exploration into the darkest corners of criminal psychology. Deadly Intent isn't just another true crime podcast—it's a deep dive into the why behind history's most disturbing cases.
"Intent. It's what separates accident from murder, passion from premeditation, justice from revenge."
Each episode examines the twisted motivations that drive ordinary people to commit extraordinary evil. From century-old mysteries that still haunt small towns to modern tragedies that shatter our faith in humanity, we explore the deadly intent behind every crime—because understanding the why is the key to understanding the real monsters among us.
Join host Carman Carrion as she unravels cases spanning over a century of human darkness:
- The Hinterkaifeck Murders: A killer who lived among the dead
- The "Hot Sauce Mom": When maternal love becomes torture
- The Idaho Student Murders: When academic brilliance turns deadly
- The Doomsday Mom: When faith becomes justification for filicide

DEADLY INTENT
The Hot Sauce Mom - When Love Becomes Torture
Content Warning: This episode contains detailed discussions of child abuse, torture, and murder. The case involves extreme physical and psychological abuse of a disabled child, including descriptions of starvation, hypothermia, and torture methods. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
"For months, fifteen-year-old Timothy Ferguson lived in a basement closet that reeked of urine and feces. His mother had installed motion sensors that would trigger alarms if he moved. She forced him to eat bread soaked in some of the world's hottest chili sauce—Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Scorpion peppers that caused excruciating pain. When that wasn't enough punishment, she made him sit in ice baths for hours. On July 6th, 2022, after spending nine straight hours in freezing water, Timothy Ferguson died, weighing just 69 pounds—less than half what a healthy teenager should weigh."
"Intent. It's what separates accident from murder, passion from premeditation, justice from revenge."
"It is not the act itself, but the intent behind it, that makes it a crime."
"Today on Deadly Intent, we're examining a case that challenges everything we think we know about maternal love. A successful law clerk, a devoted mother to some of her children, a woman studying to become an attorney, who systematically tortured her disabled son to death. The question that haunts everyone who studied this case isn't just what she did, but why she chose one child to suffer while protecting the others. What transforms a mother into a tormentor, and how does love become indistinguishable from hate?"
