Episode 37: Inferno: The Story of Dante Sutorius, Part 1

Published: Feb. 14, 2020, 9 a.m.

b'Happy Valentine\'s Day, campers, and welcome to the Season 3 premiere of True Crime Campfire! We went round and round about which case to cover for our new season premiere, because you want those to be special. And after briefly considering a few other bananapants stories, we realized it HAD to be Dante Sutorius. This woman was a Tazmanian devil, leaving a trail of destruction and bafflement wherever she went\\u2014from childhood onward. We talk about stranger than fiction stories\\u2014well this one would probably get laughed out of the room at any Hollywood studio as waaay too over the top. \\u201cThis woman is a cartoon villain,\\u201d they\\u2019d say. Nobody\\u2019s really this bad.
Oh, campers. You\\u2019re about to find out. There\\u2019s a murder in this story, it\\u2019s true, and that is the sad, probably inevitable endgame in this case. But the reason we named the episode after the villain rather than the victim is that the story is about so much more than its gruesome, tragic ending. It\\u2019s a road trip through Thunderdome. It\\u2019s the path of a hurricane. It\\u2019s one damn thing after another.
