    Bless This Mess: A Southern True Crime Podcast

    Welcome to Bless This Mess: A Southern True Crime Podcast, where the tea is sweet but the history is dark. We are a husband and wife team from Louisiana serving up murder, mystery, and mayhem from across the southern states.

    Pull up a rocking chair, fill your mason jar with sweet tea (or something a little stronger), and sit for a spell on the porch with us. We dive deep into each case, taking turns sharing the story, but there’s always room for some husband-and-wife banter and a few well-placed f-bombs along the way.

    If you love true crime but prefer we get straight to the point without the porch chit-chat, check out our weekly A Little Less Mess episodes—same cases, trimmed down and focused on the facts.

    Want even more time on the porch? Join “The Porch Crew” over on our Patreon! Upgrade your sweet tea to something stronger and get early ad-free episodes, our exclusive Friday bonus hangouts (Sittin’, Sippin’, & Bullshittin’), and even your very own official Porch Crew mason jar.

    101. [Florida] Tamara Tucker Aug 24, 2023
    Show notes

    This week we are going to Florida-ish...technically we are 30 nautical miles off the coast because this murder occurred on a Cruise! Tamara goes on a Carnival cruise to celebrate her 50th birthday with the love of her life, Eric. But the trip takes a tragic turn when she is found unresponsive three decks below her balcony. Was it an accident, suicide, or murder?!?!
    Fun Fact: Due to cruise ship superstitions, some cruise ships don’t have a deck 13. While many cruise ships skip deck 13, MSC Cruises skip deck 17 due to a similar Italian superstition.

    100. [Louisiana] The Axeman of New Orleans Aug 18, 2023
    Show notes

    In 1918, the city of New Orleans was on edge when an axe-wielding mad man attacked unsuspecting residents in their homes. In the end, he would claim six lives and many other victims, but his rampage stopped as quickly as it started with no one ever knowing the identity of The Axeman of New Orleans.
    Fun Fact: The official state drink of Louisiana is...milk!

    99. [Alabama] Teresa Mayfield Aug 11, 2023
    Show notes

    In Alabama, 44 year old mother of three, Teresa Mayfield, goes missing after running some errands. It would not take long to find out what happened to her, less than 24 hours later, her body was found. But police were left wondering if it was suicide or something more sinister.
    Fun Fact: It is illegal in Alabama to sell, purchase, possess, or train a bear for bear wrestling. Bear wrestling matches used to be a pretty big deal in Alabama. They were so popular that the state of Alabama added a law about “bear exploitation” that explicitly forbids people from engaging in bear wrestling matches. This is a Class B felony which is the same as being charged with manslaughter, so this is a big deal.

    98. [South Carolina] Melvin Roberts Aug 03, 2023
    Show notes

    At 79 years old, business man Melvin Roberts was murdered in his driveway. His girlfriend of over 10 years was bound and dragged away from Melvin while the murder was carried out. Melvin was not short on enemies, but as police looked further into the crime scene, they feared the murderer might have been closer to Melvin than they thought.
    Fun Fact: Long before South Carolina was known as "The Palmetto State," it was called, "The Iodine State." This resulted from a 1920s agricultural marketing campaign touting elevated levels of iodine in the state’s produce. Strawberries, perhaps surprisingly, are a high source of iodine.

    A Little Less Mess [Mississippi] Stacie Pannell Aug 02, 2023
    Show notes

    Welcome to A Little Less Mess, it's our companion episode to our main weekly releases. In ALLM, you will find just the facts, no opinions, no jokes, no banter, but do not fear! If you would like to hear our full thoughts on this case (and inappropriate jokes) check out the weekly regular episodes released on Thursdays (they're the numbered episodes).
    College student Stacie Pannell was found bludgeoned to death in her college dorm in the small town of Booneville, Mississippi. Police were at a loss until a very unlikely suspect was identified.
    Fun Fact: Root beer was created in Biloxi by Edward Adolf Barq. Though the first examples of root beer date back to the 1870s as a drink for miners, it wasn't until later that it gained popularity. The modern version of the drink was invented in Biloxi, Mississippi. Barq created the now-famous Barq's root beer in 1898. The drink was popular right away and saw a boom in sales in the 1920s during the US prohibition.

    97. [South Carolina] Charles and Diane Parker Jul 27, 2023
    Show notes

    Charles and Diane Parker were pillars of their community in small town South Carolina. One day, they are found murdered in their farmhouse. It would take years to find someone guilty of the crime, but did police get the right person?
    Fun Fact: Although Georgia is known as "The Peach State," South Carolina actually produces more peaches than any other state east of the Mississippi. Nationally, it is second to California...maybe Stew was right, don't tell him!

    96. [Georgia] Terry Rouse Jul 14, 2023
    Show notes

    This week we are going to the swamps of Georgia to cover the disappearance, and suspected murder, of Terry Rouse. This case ends with a conviction but did the jury make the right decision?
    Fun Fact: In Georgia, it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sundays. In the early 1900s, it was common for horse thieves to lure horses away from their owners by placing a sweet treat, like an ice cream cone, in their back pocket. When the horse leaned down to eat the treat, the thief would grab the reins and ride off with the horse. To prevent this form of theft, the state of Georgia passed a law that prohibited anyone from keeping an ice cream cone in their back pocket on Sundays.

    95. [Alabama] Lisa Nichols Jun 29, 2023
    Show notes

    In 2004, Lisa Nichols was found murdered in her home in near Mobile, Alabama just after Hurricane Ivan had passed through. Dealing with the damage and chaos from the hurricane, police must track down Lisa's killer. Once they do identify the man, he is not who they think he is...
    Fun Fact: Mobile, Alabama used to be the capital of Louisiana. Mobile was first founded as the capital of colonial French Louisiana in 1702 as part of New France. The city has passed from the French, to the British, then the Spanish, and finally to the Americans, spanning 160 years, up to the Civil War. Mobile finally became part of Alabama on December 14, 1819.

    Fun Fact: Girl Scout cookies were first sold in Muskogee, Oklahoma in 1917. The Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, baked cookies and sold them in its high school cafeteria as a service project and to finance troop activities.

    Show notes

    In June of 1987, Linda was found murdered in her home in Arlington, Texas. Although neighbors saw the man that killed Linda, it would take almost 20 years to finally find out his name. To the families surprise, Linda was not the killers only victim...
    Fun Fact: In Texas, it is illegal to milk another person's cow. The Texas Penal Code states that doing so results in a fine of no more than $10. The current Texas law makes the act a theft of personal property.
