Killer Heart To Hearts

Hosted by real-life couple William Cannon and Elise Buedel, Killer Heart to Hearts isn’t just another true crime podcast. It’s immersive, sharply written, and emotionally honest. With a tone that’s darkly witty, culturally aware, and often chilling, each episode dissects stories of murder, disappearance, and betrayal — always with a human heartbeat beneath the horror.

Whether it’s the psychology of an incel, the mystery of a locked hotel room, or a murder staged to look like a suicide, we dive into the shadows — and bring our listeners with us.

Salado, Texas. July 1997.

Lela and Raymond Howard leave home for a local music festival just 15 miles away.

They never arrive.

Days pass. Then weeks. And the farther the search stretches, the harder it becomes to explain how two people can disappear so completely… without ever meaning to.

This is THE WAY.
