Show Notes
In this chilling true crime podcast episode, we uncover the disturbing story of Bradley Morris Cunningham—a charming, wealthy manipulator whose pattern of abuse left a trail of broken women… and ultimately, murder.
Before the brutal killing of his fourth wife, Cheryl Keeton, there were warning signs—ignored, dismissed, or hidden behind his polished image. In Part 1 of this two-part series, Storyteller dives deep into Cunningham’s early life, toxic upbringing, and the shocking pattern of domestic violence, coercive control, psychological abuse, and manipulation that defined his relationships.
From his first marriage to Loni Ann Erickson—marked by escalating abuse and terrifying control—to his calculated relationships with wealthy women and vulnerable partners, Cunningham perfected a cycle: love bombing, isolation, financial exploitation, and terror.
You’ll hear how he:
- Manipulated courts and custody battles
- Abused and traumatized his wives and children
- Built a facade of success while hiding financial ruin
- Used charm and intimidation to control everyone around him
And how one woman—Cheryl Keeton—would tragically pay the ultimate price.
This episode is a deep dive into narcissistic abuse, domestic violence warning signs, and the psychology of serial abusers, setting the stage for the horrifying events that unfold in Part 2.
⚠️ Listener discretion advised: This episode contains discussions of domestic violence and abuse.
