Episode 400: The Life and Crimes of Dorothea Puente Apr 28, 2025

Show notes

Dorothea Puente is one of the most prolific female serial killers. Using her grandmotherly demeanor and image, she used the boarding house she ran to murder her residents and cash in on their social security checks. A search of her backyard led to the discovery of seven bodies, but Puente was able to slip out of investigators’ grasp by going out “for a cup of coffee”. Thankfully she was found in Southern California just days later and was charged with 9 murders in all. Her true victim count is unknown, as she maintained her innocence for her entire life. But the truth behind her crimes are more sinister than anyone who knew her could have ever imagined. Puente’s known victims were Benjamin Fink, Leona Carpenter, Dorothy Miller, Betty Mae Palmer, James Gallop, Vera Faye Martin, Alvaro “Bert” Gonzales Montoya, Ruth Monroe, and Everson Gillmouth.

Episode 399: Reagan Tokes Apr 24, 2025

Show notes

Twenty-one year old Reagan Tokes, an Ohio State University student, tragically lost her life on February 8, 2017. She was abducted after leaving her job at a restaurant in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Her attacker, Brian Golsby, forced her to withdraw money from ATMs, sexually assaulted her, and ultimately murdered her in Scioto Grove Metro Park. Reagan was shot twice and left in a field, where her body was discovered the next day. Her case led to significant changes in Ohio's criminal justice system, including the implementation of the Reagan Tokes Act. This law introduced reforms to better monitor violent offenders after their release from prison. Reagan's story has been a catalyst for discussions about public safety and justice reform.

Show notes

Michaela Garecht was enjoying the start to her Thanksgiving break in November 1988 when she and her best friend rode their scooters to the market in Hayward, California. As they left, the 9 year old girls noticed that Michaela’s scooter was not at the entrance, but had been moved to the parking lot. As she went to grab her scooter, a man jumped out of the van next to her and in one fell swoop, threw her into the van and drove off. Unfortunately, Michaela has never been found, but after over three decades as a cold case, in 2020 a man was charged with her murder. David Misch, a convicted murderer, is awaiting trial for Michaela’s abduction and murder and hopefully soon, she will get the justice she deserves.
