In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

Choosing His Kids Over His Drugs: James Sanders Story (Part 1) 20:53

James started down a dark path at a young age, but when Christmas of 1987 came around God gave him a serious wake up call.
