Episode 33: Deadly Cruise Ships: The Disappearance of Tammy Grogan Jan 22, 2023

Show notes

This week we're cruising the high seas. Tammy Grogan went on a cruise with her family. She never returned from that cruise. Were members of her family involved in her disappearance or did she accidentally fall overboard? No one has ever been officially charged so we can't say for sure (but I think we all know).
If you have any information about Tammy's disappearance, call the Toledo Police at 419-213-4700 and ask for someone on the cold case team.

Episode 31: Panama: William Dathan Holbert & Laura Michelle Reese-Part 1 Jan 08, 2023

Show notes

This week we're visiting the tropics of Panama and learning all about the crimes of William Dathan Holbert and Laura Michelle Reese. Wild Bill, as he liked to be called, wanted the finer things in life but he didn't want to work to get them. Instead, he figured it was a better idea to just murder people and take their stuff. What a peach (insert eyeroll here).
Also, in this episode, we're all reminded that I can't say the word burglary.

Episode 30: Spain: The Murder of Eva Blanco Dec 25, 2022

Show notes

We're taking a Christmas trip to Spain! We won't be celebrating the holiday, though. Instead, we'll be looking at the murder of Eva Blanco. Poor teenage Eva was just walking home when an evil monster decided to end her life. It took almost 20 years but the DNA finally led to someone. Unfortunately, the case is still "unsolved" to this day.

Show notes

This week we're going to the Philippines to discuss the murder of glamorous movie star Nida Blanca. Nida was dripping in star power and showed no signs of slowing down. Then, tragedy struck and she was found murdered in her own car. Did her estranged husband hire someone to do it so he could get her money? Or was it someone else? It's been over 20 years and who knows if the truth will ever be revealed.

Show notes

Agnes Marin had her whole life ahead of her but a monster living in her midst put an unfortunate end to that. Agnes's death was, of course, caused by the monster that murdered her but is there also institutional negligence to blame?

Episode 24: Kenya: The Murder of Julie Ward Part 2 Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

Here it is lovelies! The end of our investigation into the murder of Julie Ward. This episode covers a lot (too much, honestly) and just when you think you know who did it, you're thrown for a loop!
I promise next time, I will split the story into 3 parts. Thanks for sticking around.
