Girlfriends Katie and Azra cover true crime cases and other spooky tales weekly, while also trying to offer fresh opinions and insight into cases. Yes, we are dating. Yes, we are bisexual. And, yes, we cover a wide variety of true crime cases and some weird but interesting things in our Twisted Tales episodes.
Considered the most prolific serial killer in postwar Germany, Niels Högel is believed to have killed between 100-300 people in the five years he worked in hospitals in Oldenburg and Delmenhorst. Katie and Azra talk about the truly terrifying concept of a killer nurse, the investigation into the case, and the lack of action the hospitals took even when they knew he Niels was killing people.

12. Fantasy Turned Murder: New Zealand's Heavenly Creatures
The cold-blooded killing of Honorah Parker Rieper is commonly known as the most infamous murder in New Zealand's history. Katie and Azra cover the case and the twisted fantasy world that Pauline and Juliet, the 15-year-old best friends who were responsible for the murder, would do anything to save. They also discuss the blatant homophobia of the media surrounding the case, the hysteria it led to, and the serious repercussions it had for LGBTQ+ people in New Zealand.
