About this listen
Two men. One van. A pact with pure evil.
In the late 1970s, California’s highways became a hunting ground for Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, a pair of sadistic killers who transformed their van—The Murder Mac—into a mobile torture chamber. Their goal? To abduct, assault, and brutally murder young women, capturing their suffering on tape for their own twisted pleasure.
Now, in The Devil’s Pact, forensic expert Dr. Eleanor H. Cross exposes the terrifying journey of two men who went from prison buddies to one of the most feared predator duos in history. This audiobook is a descent into madness, piecing together their crimes, the haunting evidence, and the relentless pursuit of justice that finally put an end to their reign of terror.
This audiobook will take you deep into:
- The formation of a deadly partnership–how two psychopaths found each other behind bars.
- The mechanics of terror–a van designed for death and the gruesome details of their crimes.
- The victims' final moments–disturbing recordings that even hardened investigators couldn’t unhear.
- The relentless investigation–how detectives finally caught the killers before they could strike again.
- The courtroom showdown–shocking revelations and a fight for justice.
- The lasting horror–how their crimes still haunt families and investigators decades later.
WARNING: This audiobook is not for the faint of heart. The darkness within this audiobook is real, and once you hear their story, you may never feel truly safe again.
If you think you can handle the terrifying true story of the Toolbox Killers, listen now—but be warned: the fear won’t fade when you press stop.

Story
At twenty-five years old, Michael Stewart was a young Black aspiring artist, deejay, and model, looking to make a name for himself in the vibrant downtown art scene of the early 1980’s New York City. On September 15, 1983, he was brutally beaten by New York City Transit Authority police for allegedly tagging a 14th Street subway station wall. Witnesses reported officers beating him with Billy clubs and choking him with a nightstick. Stewart arrived at Bellevue Hospital hog-tied with no heartbeat and died after thirteen days in a coma.

Story
Shortly before dusk on November 3, 1870, just as the ferryboat El Capitan was pulling away from its slip into San Francisco Bay, a woman clad in black emerged from the shadows and strode across the crowded deck. Reaching under her veil, she drew a small pistol and aimed it directly at a well-dressed man sitting quietly with his wife and children. The woman fired a single bullet into his chest. “I did it and I don’t deny it,” she said when arrested shortly thereafter. “He ruined me and my daughter.”

Story
In 1947, the Cold War came to Hollywood. Over nine tumultuous days in October, the House Un-American Activities Committee held a notorious round of hearings into alleged Communist subversion in the movie industry. The blowback was profound: the major studios pledged to never again employ a known Communist or unrepentant fellow traveler. The declaration marked the onset of the blacklist era, a time when political allegiances, real or suspected, determined employment opportunities in the entertainment industry. Hundreds of artists were shown the dooror had it shut in their faces.

Inside is a bullet, and the message is clear: The next one is for you or your family. As reporter Ali Watkins reveals, the conflict in Northern Ireland might have gone very differently had it not been for a small ragtag band of gunrunners in the United States.

The 1987 murder of Lita McClinton Sullivan sent shock waves through the affluent Atlanta suburb of Buckhead, Georgia like few other crimes before it. The neighborhood, with its stately mansions and top-tier schools, was simply not the kind of place where women were gunned down in broad daylight. How many socialites had enemies so dangerous they would be murdered by a hit man pretending to deliver roses on an early winter morning?

In June 1990, Ronald Baker, a straight-A UCLA student, was found repeatedly stabbed to death in a tunnel near Spahn Ranch, where Charles Manson and his followers once lived. Shortly thereafter, Detective Rick Jackson and his partner, Frank Garcia, were assigned the case. Yet the facts made no sense. Who would have a motive to kill Ron Baker in such a grisly manner? Was the proximity to the Manson ranch related to the murder? And what about the pentagram pendant Ron wore around his neck? Jackson and Garcia soon focused their investigation on Baker’s two male roommates, one Black, and one white.

Story
Peter Wolf grew up in the Bronx, a child of “fellow travelers” whose artistic inclinations influenced both his love of music and his initial desire to become a painter. Stories of his loving and sometimes eccentric parents complement scenes depicting a very young Bob Dylan as he arrived on the Greenwich Village folk scene. Reflections on Wolf’s studies in Boston—where he shared an apartment with David Lynch—are braided with accounts of first love, an untraditional literary education, and early musical influences such as Muddy Waters.
