Buried Secrets: Walmart Santa and Family Face Murder Charges
It’s one of the most grotesque true crime stories in Georgia’s history. Elwyn Crocker Sr., a former Walmart Santa Claus, stands accused of murdering his two children, burying their bodies in his backyard, and continuing life as if nothing happened. But the horror runs deeper: text messages show family members casually discussing burial details, including one that reads, “Cool! How deep?”
The children, Mary and Elwyn Jr., were never reported missing. Mary, forensic experts say, starved to death with a BMI of 8.6. Her brother’s body was so decomposed the cause of death couldn’t be determined—but both deaths were ruled homicides. As this dark saga winds its way through years of court delays, new revelations shake the case: a civil lawsuit now alleges Walmart ignored repeated warnings about Crocker’s alleged pedophilic behavior—while he was portraying Santa in their stores.
In this episode, we unpack the disturbing messages, the forensic testimony, and the devastating legal implications of both the murder charges and the civil lawsuit. What did Walmart know? Why did no one report the children missing? And how does a man portray holiday cheer while allegedly hiding a house of horror?
