Amy Archer-Gilligan, known as "Sister Amy," ran a Connecticut nursing home where residents kept dying, and her story is often linked to the dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace. In this Saturday bonus episode of Brewed With Intent, we look at the lifetime-care contracts, the arsenic, the sister who refused to accept an easy explanation, and the question that still matters today: who benefits when someone doesn't live as long as expected?

Content note: This episode discusses poisoning and the deaths of elderly people. Nothing is graphic. If you're concerned about an older person in your life, the Eldercare Locator can connect you with local services and Adult Protective Services at 1-800-677-1116. In an emergency, call 911.

Brewed With Intent is the Saturday morning bonus series from Deadly Intent, with shorter stories and a little more coffee. New full-length episodes arrive every Wednesday.

In April 1981, in the tiny railroad town of Keddie, California, three people were killed inside Cabin 28 and a 12-year-old girl was gone. Three years later, her remains were found about 60 miles away. More than forty years on, the Keddie Cabin Murders are still unsolved.

This week on Deadly Intent, we walk through the night of April 11, 1981, and the case that followed: the crime scene, the surviving children, the two men long named as suspects, an anonymous tip that named the missing girl, and the new evidence investigators say could still crack the case. We look at what the evidence shows, what has only been alleged, and what the psychology of violence can and can't tell us.

This episode contains descriptions of violence and the deaths of children, and it touches on domestic abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

If you have information about this case, contact the Plumas County Sheriff's Office at (530) 283-6360.

Intent doesn't lie. People do.

In 1983, a blocked drain in a quiet North London house exposed Dennis Nilsen, the MuswellHill Murderer, who confessed to killing as many as sixteen young men. Behind his dull civil-servant exterior was a man who said he killed because he couldnot bear to be alone. This week on Deadly Intent, we trace his life from a Scottish fishing harbor to the Old Bailey. We examine his childhood loss, his detachment, his ritual, and why the system failed the survivors who tried tospeak up. Then we ask the question at the heart of the case: was he insane, or simply evil?

Content warning: this episode discusses murder, strangulation, necrophilia, and the disposal of human remains. Listener discretion is advised. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 in the US, or contact Samaritans at116 123 in the UK.

Intent doesn't lie. People do.
