Catch my Killer — True Crime
Catch my Killer

At any given time in the world, there are thousands of unsolved murders. Most of them will never be solved. The first 48 hours of a homicide are the most crucial to an investigation. Eventually, leads dry up, witnesses become less cooperative, and cases go cold (unsolved). Meanwhile, detectives continue receiving new homicide cases which push older ones to the back. After a case goes cold, it quickly becomes yesterday’s news. The public and the media will forget about the crime and move onto the next crime story.

But do you know who won’t forget about a cold case? The victim’s family and friends. They won’t forget because their case is more than a case file or news story. The victims were sons, fathers, mothers, daughters, or friends. Catch my Killer is a podcast that focuses on the victim’s surviving family and friends who give a voice to those who no longer have one. If you are listening and can help bring a killer to justice, please call in your tips. Even the smallest clue could be large enough to break a case wide open.

Episode 29: The murder of realtor Lindsay Buziak Apr 26, 2020

Show notes

Lindsay Buziak's unsolved homicide remains one of Canada’s most infamous cold cases. On Feb. 2, 2008, the 24-year-old realtor was scheduled to show a Saanich home to a potential buyer. However, the woman caller had a foreign accent and made Lindsay uncomfortable. The woman wanted to see a million-dollar home in Saanich.
Lindsay told both her father, Jeff Buziak, and her boyfriend, Jason Zailo, that something seemed suspicious about the phone call. Police later said the call was made from a cellphone purchased in Vancouver under a false name and used only once for luring Lindsay to the home.
Lindsay asked her boyfriend to attend the showing with her. Zailo arrived 10 minutes late with a friend. The two men waited outside for Lindsay.
Zailo told officers that as he waited, he saw a man and woman open the front door and then close it again. Zailo tried the front door, but found it locked. His friend found the back door open. Zailo entered and found Lindsay dead in an upstairs bedroom. Someone had stabbed her at least 40 times.
Note*** The opening clip was an interview with Dr. Phil (www.drphil.com) and Jeff Buziak.

Episode 26: The Candice Kyser and David Keller double homicides Apr 05, 2020

Show notes

For this episode, I spoke to Regina about the deaths of David Keller and Candice Kyser. Candice was Regina’s niece. May 8, 1999 is a date that will haunt Regina Lloyd forever. Over twenty years have passed since Regina’s older sister Sheila Kyser found her daughter Candice and David Keller murdered inside their Fort Mitchell, Alabama home. Although Candice was a year older than Regina, they were more like sisters than aunt and niece.
The Kyser and Keller families are still waiting for justice. Regina provided some insight into the relationship between David and Candice. They had dated in junior high school and were your typical teenage couple who found love at an early age. Candice and David became parents early and were ready for the challenge of parenthood.
The night before David and Candice died, they had spent time with Candice’s family. Regina said everything appeared fine. David and Candice left late in the evening to return home. They had plans to look at property with Sheila Kyser in the morning. After Sheila didn’t hear from her daughter, she drove to her daughter’s house to check on her. What she found would haunt her forever. She knocked on the front door and the back door. No answer.
Sheila knew something was wrong. She peeked in a window and saw her 2-year-old granddaughter unattended. She climbed in through a window and found her daughter’s body in her bedroom. Someone had shot her. Sheila grabbed her granddaughter and ran out the door for help. David was also found shot to death inside the home. Do you know who killed David and Candice? If so, please contact the Russell County Sheriff’s Office at 334-298-6535 or visit their website at: http://www.rcso.org/investigations.html. Also be sure to visit the Justice for Candis & David Facebook page.

Episode 25: Ellen Greenberg: Suicide or homicide? Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

Ellen Greenberg was a 27 year old school teacher who lived in Philadelphia. On January 26, 2011, she was found stabbed to death over 20 times inside the apartment she shared with her fiance Samuel Goldberg. Goldberg told the police he had gone to the gym and returned to find Ellen's body. He called the police at 6:33 p.m.
The coroner originally ruled Ellen was murdered. But for unknown reasons, Ellen’s death was reclassified as a suicide. The coroner said he was under pressure from Philadelphia police to change it to a suicide. The Greenbergs cannot understand why this happened. No one from law enforcement or the Pennsylvania AG’s office have ever given the family a satisfactory explanation.
Ellen was stabbed 20 times in the back of her neck and back. She was in the midst of making herself a fruit salad. So we are to believe that while in the middle of making something to eat, she just decided to end her life. Ellen’s parents said their daughter was excited about her career and starting a family. She had everything to live for. She had never mentioned suicide to anyone or even shown any signs. Joshua and Sandra Greenberg have filed a lawsuit against the Philadelphia Coroner's office to have their daughter's death reclassified from a suicide to a homicide.
If you know anything about her death, please send tips to the Justice for Ellen Facebook page or contact their attorney Joe Podraza, Philadelphia Pa, at (215) 882-1015 or email him at jpodraza@lambmcerlane.com.

Episode 24: The brutal 1972 stabbing death of Cyrena Jane Manning Mar 22, 2020

Show notes

For this episode, I spoke to Wendy. Her father was married to a woman named Cyrena Jane Manning. The couple had five children together. Cyrena's ex-husband is Wendy's father. She is seeking justice for her father's first wife. Wendy's father has since passed so she is trying to figure out who killed Cyrena because the murder haunted her father.
On 11/20/1972, in Franklin, Pa, Cyrena was at home reading her Bible. Someone approached her from behind and brutally stabbed her to death. It was originally believed she was shot to death because the wounds were so large. It wasn’t until the autopsy that it was learned that Cyrena was stabbed to death and not shot.
Venango County, Pennsylvania authorities arrested and charged a man named Frank Sidloski with the crime. A jury acquitted Sidloski. So who killed Cyrena? Wendy has always thought the killer was someone close to Cyrena. How close? Wendy is convinced one of her siblings was involved in the homicide.

Episode 21: The unsolved murder of Mary Jane Reed (Part 2 of 2) Mar 01, 2020

Show notes

For the conclusion of the Mary Jane Reed story, I spoke to Mike Arians, who was the mayor of Oregon, Illinois from 1999 to 2003. Mike is also the owner of an Illinois restaurant called the Roadhouse which has been featured by various media sources as being haunted. You see, it was formerly known as The Stenhouse, which plays an important part in the murders of Mary Jane Reed and Stanley Skridla.
Mike Arians and Warren Reed, the younger brother of Mary Jane Reed still want to find out who killed Mary Jane Reed and Stanley Skridla. The case is currently considered open and has been cold since 1948.
For many years, it's been rumored that Arian's restaurant is haunted by the spirit of Mary Jane Reed. Some people think her spirit still roams Illinois because no one has ever solved her homicide case.
Be sure to listen to the conclusion of this strange homicide case next week. If you have any information about this case, please send tips directly to Mike Arians. You can call or text him at 815 535-7486. For additional information about the Stenhouse restaurant (currently known as the Roadhouse) or more information about Mary Jane, please visit: www.maryjanereed.com or rhouse.org.
