The Texas Killing Fields Part 2: Suspects, 90s Victims & Calder’s Shadow

The Texas Killing Fields Part 2: Suspects, 90s Victims & Calder’s Shadow

Author: Hosted by Shannon and Cathy | Horror Both Real and Fictional April 11, 2025 Duration: 26:57

We’re back for Part 2 of our deep dive into the Texas Killing Fields—a case so messy and heartbreaking, it’s no wonder it keeps true crime fans up at night. In this episode, we continue to uncover the haunting details surrounding the 1990s victims, possible suspects, and why Calder Field remained such a tragically perfect place to dump bodies for decades.

As therapists who love true crime, we bring a psychological lens to the discussion—this time focusing more on the victim profiles, the unnervingly consistent law enforcement failures, and just how many red flags went ignored. We touch on early profiling attempts, forensic missteps, and the frustrating legacy of bias and victim-blaming that clouded real progress in solving these murders.

We also reference The Lights Out Podcast, and articles including “The Grisly True Story of Netflix’s Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields” by Paul Schrodt and “Texas Killing Fields: Who Murdered Dozens Of Young Girls And Women Near Houston?” by Aaron Rasmussen.

Grab your snacks and let’s get uncomfortable.
