Ep. 6 - The Sims Family Slaying, Part 3

Triple M Podcast: Mystery, Murder & the Macabre

Welcome to the chilling world of unsolved mysteries, which refuses to release its grip on our darkest curiosities. I am J.K. Richards, and I invite you into the perplexing world of the Sims Family Slaying, a saga that stands as a stark reminder of the fragility of civilized life and suburban tranquility. Amidst the festivities of this Holiday Season, we cast our minds back to 1966, where the discovery of a heinous crime sparked fear across Tallahassee, Florida State, and the United States. We dissect the eerie and threatening confession of Robert Howells to his wife of less than twenty-four hours, their subsequent domestic turmoil, and lay bare the underbelly of a neighborhood transformed into an enclave of suspicion, accusation, and hyper vigilance.
As we traverse the labyrinth of terror, suspicion, and Occult superstition that emerges in the wake of the Sims Family Slaying, we scrutinize the involvement of young Tommy Fulgrim, a figure both enigmatic and tragic. His tale intertwines with the darkest threads of this case, leading to an obsession with demonology that culminated in another horrifying event years later. The stakes are high, as we scratch beneath the surface of mental illness and its role in the inexorable descent into violence, piecing together a puzzle that has confounded investigators and haunted a community for decades.
Prepare for an exploration of the unceasing dedication of Ron Stocks, whose resolve in the face of inconclusive evidence brings us face to face with the specter of unresolved justice. The unfolding narrative leads us to the brink of new revelations, where the most bizarre suspects are yet to be revealed. Join me as we honor the commitment of those who seek answers and remember those who were lost, in an episode that promises to be as harrowing as it is enlightening—a true crime tale that will linger long after the final words have been spoken.
