The Most Prolific Serial Killer You Don't Know About | Randy Kraft
Join us on Patreon! ⚠️ VIEWER DISCRETION STRONGLY ADVISED. This episode contains discussion of sexual violence, torture, and murder involving minors and adults.On this episode of From One to Wicked, we dive into the life and crimes of Randy Kraft—aka the Scorecard Killer, the Southern California Strangler, and one of the so-called Freeway Killers. Between 1972–1983, Kraft targeted young men (many of them U.S. Marines) across California, Oregon, and Michigan, with a confirmed count in the teens and suspicions that his victims may number far higher.We trace Kraft’s path from an apparently bright, well-liked kid in Long Beach—churchgoing family, accelerated classes, saxophone and tennis—to his years at Claremont Men’s College, political pivots, and Air Force service and discharge. Then we follow the escalation: drug-facilitated abductions, a chilling M.O., and the cryptic “scorecard” that investigators believe cataloged victims. We also cover the multi-agency hunt that struggled to connect cases spread along freeways and state lines, plus the confusion created by multiple “Freeway Killer” offenders operating in the same era.If this topic is tough for you, please take care. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, help is available via local resources and national hotlines.

The Cat Litter Killer | Japan's Dahmer
Check out our Patreon!On this episode of From One To Wicked, we dive into the horrifying crimes of Takahiro Shiraishi — who we dubbed the Cat Litter Killer. Known in the headlines as Japan’s “Twitter Killer,” Shiraishi lured vulnerable souls online with promises of shared suicide, only to betray them in the most brutal way imaginable. Between August and October 2017, he murdered nine people — mostly young women, some just teenagers — inside a tiny apartment that would be forever branded Japan’s “House of Horrors.”We trace how this seemingly quiet kid from Zama transformed into a manipulative predator, using hashtags and DMs to find his victims, sedate them, assault them, and dismember their bodies — hiding the remains in coolers packed with cat litter to mask the stench of death. From his troubled family life and shady work in Tokyo’s red-light district to his chilling confessions and final execution in 2025, we unpack every twisted detail of a case that shocked Japan, changed Twitter’s rules, and reignited debate over the death penalty.Press play — but be warned: this one is truly wicked.
