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 Moors Murders – Can Two People Fall in Love with Murder?
Deadly Intent, Season 1, Episode 9
Imagine searching desperately for your missing daughter while your neighbor—someone you've known for years—offers sympathy and support. Now imagine discovering that same neighbor murdered your child and watched you grieve. This is exactly what happened to the Reade family in 1963, when their 16-year-old daughter Pauline disappeared after accepting a ride from their neighbor, Myra Hindley.
In this haunting episode of Deadly Intent, host Carman Carrion examines how Myra Hindley and her boyfriend Ian Brady weaponized trust itself, using familiarity and Hindley's non-threatening appearance to access victims who would never have gone with a strange man. Between 1963 and 1965, they murdered five children, burying them on Saddleworth Moor in Northern England. But their cruelty didn't end with murder—it extended to the psychological torture of victims' families, as Brady and Hindley studied the aftermath of their crimes up close.
Through court records, police testimony, and forensic evidence, we explore how this couple developed a shared intent to not just kill, but to corrupt the fundamental bonds of community and trust. We'll examine how Hindley's essential role in the crimes challenges our assumptions about female killers and male-female criminal partnerships. We'll investigate the evidence that finally exposed them—including photographs they took of burial sites and disturbing audio recordings of their victims. And we'll confront the question that divided Britain for decades: Was Myra Hindley a manipulated victim herself, or an equal partner in evil?
The families of two victims—Keith Bennett and initially Pauline Reade—spent decades searching the moors without knowing their neighbors had been watching them grieve. This is the story of the Moors Murders, and the monsters who hid behind friendly faces.
