TRUE CRIME The unbelievable case of Teri Jendusa-Nicolai

Author: redrumpodcast May 4, 2026 Duration: 33:47
In January 2004, what should have been a routine child handover turned into a calculated, near-fatal act of violence that would shock the United States and expose the terrifying realities of domestic abuse... Teri Jendusa-Nicolai, a mother of 2 from Wisconsin, had already endured years of control and violence at the hands of her ex-husband, David Larsen. But nothing could have prepared her for what was waiting that day. As she stepped inside his home to collect their children, she was ambushed... beaten repeatedly with a baseball bat in a sustained, brutal attack that left her barely conscious. What followed was not just violence, but methodical cruelty. David bound Teri with duct tape, forced her into a plastic bin, packed it with snow, and sealed her inside. Then, as temperatures plummeted well below freezing, he loaded the container into his truck and began driving across state lines. Trapped in darkness, gravely injured, and slowly freezing, Teri somehow managed to access her phone and make a desperate 911 call... but when the 911 operator didn't take the call seriously, it was only a matter of time, before things got even worse.

Behind every headline is a human story, often lost in the sensational details of the crime itself. REDRUM true crime shifts the focus back to where it belongs, exploring the lives and legacies of those most profoundly affected. Host and writer Grace Cordell guides listeners through a nuanced examination of cases that have left indelible marks, weaving historical context with personal narrative. This isn't just about the what or the who; it's a thoughtful, respectful exploration of the lasting impact on families, communities, and the fabric of society itself. Each episode of this podcast is a standalone deep dive, committed to honoring the truth with integrity and compassion. You'll hear stories told with a clarity that prioritizes dignity over drama, offering a more complete and human understanding of events that are too often simplified. Grace's presentation grounds the narrative in reality, emphasizing that these are not just tales from the past but real events with enduring consequences. Tune in for a series that treats its difficult subject matter with the depth and solemnity it demands, making REDRUM true crime a distinct voice in the genre.
