The Torture & Murder of Cordell Richards | Morbid: A True Crime Podcast
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 янв 2023
- On March 4th, 1999 the body of Cordell Richards was found in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The man had been absolutely brutalized. He was tied to a tree, beaten, burned, and had his throat cut. The medical examiner notices something strange though; he found maggots present at the scene but some of them had been charred. This meant that the man had likely been burned after his body had already begun decomposing. Why would the killer(s) come back after the fact? And better yet, who had done this to the 31 year old father of two?
Thank you to the lovely David White for research assistance!

Oh my. I requested this. Thank you so much for covering this. This means absolutely the world to me. I want people to hear his story, and hear about the monsters that did it. He was truly a good man, and a good friend of my family.
We had two male teens kidnap, rape, torture and then put a gun up her vagina and shoot her.
Teens can be evil.
The one teens mother tried to cover it up and she went to jail also.
This kind of thing happens everywhere. And it's sick and disheartening. 😢
@@robynvanhorn5602 It is very sick. But like I said, this particular story resonates with me because he was a family friend. I will never forget when we got the phone call that they found him. In the podcast, the bike that was mentioned was given to him by my dad. And the last time I saw Cordell was Christmas of 98, when he was in my living room playing beautiful christmas on the violin those little heathens pawned.
@@robynvanhorn5602which story are you referring to?
@@BrynnerBrynnerChickenDinner it happened in parma Ohio. The lady killed was Mary Joe Pesho ? Pecho?
This channel was recommended to me by a lovely client of mine, I am throughly enjoying myself with your Podcasts here, I look forward to listening to the rest of your episodes.
A good friend never to be forgotten.
My opinion. People who go to church normally judge more. Than someone who doesn't go to church
Always wanted to try those food delivery things because they cut down on food waste but I feel like the environmental aspect isn’t truthful unless they’re using electric delivery vehicles to cut down on emissions.
Children of the corn vibes 😳
i live in fort walton. how creepy!!
I’m from Milton/Pensacola. I NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS. I gotta tell my gf about this asap.
What a grisly story.
This is the only episode that made me throw up. I have no words......
😢
My last name is Maestas. I wonder if I'm related to Kristal. 😳😳😳
A lot of people have the same last names. Take “Ramirez” for example.
I’m from that area and I’m assuming at 4:31 and by the name….that this was a racial crime.. just because of how this area is and how it works.
I assumed he was black by his name, but he looks Hispanic…
@@TykirenWillingham He was of asian descent. He was adopted.
I was Krystal's correctional officer. 😶
Giggling drivel
Hate crime
Sound so foolish cursing , couldn't even listen for over a minute
So.. you’re cool with hearing about horrific murders but the 2 grown women covering them can’t drop an F bomb? I’m not trying to be ugly but I really don’t understand why that would matter
oh poor me! I'm offended by a potty mouth!
