In October 2019, 26-year-old Kristen Trickle was found with a fatal gunshot wound in her Kansas home. Her husband, Colby Trickle, told police she had taken her own life.

At first, the case appeared straightforward. But investigators soon began noticing details that didn’t add up. As questions mounted, what was initially ruled a suicide became far more complicated.

In this episode of Super SUS, we examine the disturbing case of Wade Wilson, the man known in the media as the Deadpool Killer.

In October 2019, Wade murdered Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz in Cape Coral, Florida, killing both women within hours of each other in a brutal and seemingly random crime spree. The violence of the attacks, combined with Wade’s behavior before and after his arrest, left investigators and the community shaken.

We explore Wade’s background, the details of the murders, and the disturbing patterns that emerged as the investigation unfolded. The episode also examines the profound impact these crimes had on the victims’ families, as well as the unsettling attention and fan following Wade later attracted while incarcerated.

We break down the trial proceedings that led to Wade’s conviction on two counts of first-degree murder, his sentencing to death, and the status of his ongoing appeals.

This is a case that forces us to confront not only extreme violence, but the culture that can grow around it — and the innocent lives forever changed in its wake.

In this episode of Super SUS, we examine the shocking and deeply disturbing death of Michelle Jones, whose life ended in violence inside her own Orlando home.

Michelle had invited her aunt Teri Brandt and Teri’s husband to stay with her while they evacuated ahead of a hurricane. When Michelle stopped answering her phone, friends became alarmed and went to check on her — only to find a scene of terrifying violence.

Inside Michelle’s house, two lives had been taken, and one lost by suicide. The brutality of the crime, the locked-from-the-inside scene, and the questions it raised sent investigators down a path that ultimately uncovered a much larger, darker story than anyone expected.

What starts as an investigation into a tragic double death inside a family home unfolds into a far more unsettling tale — forcing us all to confront how danger can hide even in places we trust most.
