  • Episode 624: The Murder of Cheryl Perveler
    Dec 5 2024

    When police were called to the scene of shooting at the Castillion Apartments in Los Angeles on April 20, 1968, they assumed the victim, twenty-two-year-old Cheryl Perveler, had been shot in a robbery gone wrong. However, when they began looking into her personal life, they soon realized Cheryl’s killer could have been much closer to home.

    In most cases of individual murders, detectives always look at the spouse first, and in this case, there was a lot to look at. Cheryl had recently married Paul Perveler, a former Los Angeles Police officer with a checkered past and an obvious obsession with wealth and power. Yet the more they investigated Paul Perveler, the more detectives began to suspect they didn’t have just one murder on their hands, and it was starting to look like Cheryl’s death was the culmination of a larger and far more shocking conspiracy than anyone had expected.

One of the best true crime podcasts hands down.

This podcast is one of my favorite things to listen to while at work. The girls are hilarious and do a really good job at researching. They are extreemly respectful to the victims and thier familys while bringing some humor to the stories. I would classify morbid as a comedy/true crime podcast. Alaina is an autopsy tech and her expertise brings another level of depth to the stories.

To all the Karens that are leaving bad reviews....what is wrong with you?! If you are a crazy that likes to talk true crime and your friends look at you like you are crazy, THESE ARE YOUR PEOPLE! I could do without the use of the F-Bomb. I totally have an F-Bubble that follows me around bc I hate the word but I'll let it slide since yall are cool chicks. Keep making cool podcasts and keeping it weird.

I love these ladies!

They do a great job with the episodes being easy to take in for someone that can't watch scary anything on TV (like paranorman freaked me out and gave me trouble sleeping). they definitely do a great deal of background work that is so interesting and in credibly helpful in snagging a listener! It makes the stories bananas (followers of the podcast will understand the reference). I enjoy the live clips even though listening to actual murderers is very creepy... it makes them people not stories which is weird. They remind me of if me and my best friend had a podcast together. I could totally be friends with them (Ash and Alaina) in real life. highly recommend. I listen while I'm at work. huge fan.

absolutely love!

I'm so happy to share that crime podcasts will never be the same for me. these girls are two awesome, amazing, hilarious crime junkies. they have the right balance to tell you about a crime but yet lighten the mood after the darkness of the tale. there's times where Ash reacts the exact way I did. I love these girls they pick the best stories definitely recommend

finally a good true crime podcast

most podcasts are boring and talk about a lot of unrelated info, but thankfully these girls are awesome. worth the listen since they actually address the details of the crimes instead of other podcasts. and small world, they are from the same state as myself.
