About Dead Bodies Podcast

Have you ever seen a dead body? People find dead bodies everywhere, under floorboards, inside chimneys, and in their homes. They’re at crime scenes, disaster scenes and in morgues. There have been dead bodies on the red carpet, in cannibals’ dens, and even advertised in the classifieds. In this series, experienced crime and court reporter Sharnelle Vella, and veteran radio host Dee Dee Dunleavy look at where dead bodies have been found, how they got there, and most importantly, the effect on people who found them. We talk to people who deal with death daily as part of their jobs, and people who weren’t prepared for the shock of finding a dead body. Please subscribe and rate us on Itunes

   Ep 147 - Ding Dong Ditch

   Ding Dong Ditch is a harmless prank that teenagers play. Ring the doorbell and run away. It was not so harmless, though, for a group of teens in Southern California in 2020, when the homeowner they pranked turned predator.
