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.

DEADLY INTENT
The Crippen Case - Love, Murder, and the First Wireless Chase
Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen was everything a Victorian gentleman should be—soft-spoken, well-dressed, impeccably polite. His neighbors in Camden Road, North London, knew him as a devoted husband who doted on his flamboyant wife Cora. So when he appeared wearing her diamond brooch and giving away her expensive furs after claiming she'd died suddenly in America, suspicions began to mount.
Host Carman Carrion explores the case that shocked Edwardian London and changed criminal investigation forever. This wasn't just about escaping a bad marriage—Crippen's intent was to commit the perfect murder, to erase his wife so completely that he could build a new life with his young secretary, Ethel Le Neve, on her grave. What he didn't count on was that the same modern technology that made his crime possible would also make his capture inevitable.
From the basement burial at 39 Hilldrop Crescent to the dramatic wireless chase across the Atlantic, this case reveals how a mild-mannered doctor's desire for respectability without consequences led to dismemberment, deception, and the world's first international manhunt conducted by radio. When Captain Kendall spotted the disguised fugitives aboard the SS Montrose, his wireless message to Scotland Yard made history: "Have strong suspicions that Crippen London cellar murderer and accomplice are among saloon passengers."
Join us as we examine how Victorian propriety collided with modern detection methods, and how one man's intent to have it all—love, respectability, and freedom—led to his place in criminal history as both murderer and the star of the world's first wireless manhunt.
