    Episode 109: Randall Woodfield the I-5 Killer
    2025/07/09

    Randall Woodfield was many things to many people: a star athlete and high school jock who was drafted into the NFL and played for the Green Bay Packers, a devout Christian involved in prayer groups and fellowships, an all-American son and brother, a charming and good-looking guy who sought to model in Play Girl Magazine.

    He was also a sexual sadist, a thief, a rapist, a necrophiliac and psychopathic serial killer.

    Despite these many contrasting personas, he is now known to history under one name: the 1-5 Killer.

    In 1980 and 1981 Randy Woodfield terrorized residents of Washington, California and Oregon as he roamed an 800 mile stretch of a highway on a horrible spree of robbery, rape and murder, he is linked to 18 murders and is suspected of killing as many as 44 women.

    Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the savage and horrible story of Randy Woodfield, the dreaded and disgusting 1-5 Killer.

  • Episode 107: The Tragic Death of Two Spirit Fred Martinez

    Episode 107: The Tragic Death of Two Spirit Fred Martinez
    2025/06/25
    Fred Matinez was a Navajo teenager who identified as a traditional nádleehi, one born as a male but whose gender is fluid and often functions in the role of a woman. Because of this entwining of male and female spirits, the term “two spirit” is often used as well by indigenous LGBTQ+ peoples. On June 16, 2001 Fred Martinez was brutally murdered, just a quarter of a mile from his home, becoming one of the youngest victims of a hate crime in modern history. This is his story. And from all of us here at Murder Coaster, we wish everyone a Happy Pride Month.

    Episode 103: Lil Devil Christa Pike the Youngest Woman on Death Row
    2025/05/21
    Christa Pike is the youngest woman ever put on death row in the United States. She was a wannabe devil worshipper, who, with her boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp, carved a pentagram into fellow Job Corps student Colleen Slemmer’s chest before caving her head in with a rock in a sacrifice to the devil. She has been called evil and a monster, but in many ways she was just what she looked like: a traumatized and lost little girl.
