EP 26 “THE TOOLBOX MURDERS: Tools of Death, Echoes of Justice” Creepy Coffees Podcast
When tools meant to build became instruments of destruction…California in 1979 became the hunting ground for two of the most sadistic killers in American history. In this chilling episode, hosts Eddie and Dawn Ravenscar take you deep into the twisted world of Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris—known as The Toolbox Killers.Together, they turned a silver van into a rolling chamber of horror, stalking the highways of Southern California and leaving behind a trail of terror that would haunt investigators for decades. Through haunting storytelling, immersive sound design, and a heavy dose of caffeine, Creepy Coffees explores: The lives and pathology of Bittaker and Norris — how two men found each other in prison and formed a pact of evil. The heartbreaking stories of their victims — Lucinda Schaefer, Andrea Joy Hall, Jackie Gilliam, Leah Lamp, and Shirley Ledford. The discovery of the infamous “Toolbox Tape,” one of the most disturbing recordings in criminal history. How a single confession and one brown Craftsman toolbox finally brought justice. And the legacy that still shapes modern criminal profiling today. Between the horror, Eddie and Dawn take a breather to review Single Speed Coffee Roasters’ “Blackline Espresso Blend” — the dark roast that kept them grounded through one of their most disturbing episodes yet. Because in a world this dark, you’d better have caffeine to keep the ghosts away.
