Walking Home Alone - July 16 2023 Jul 16, 2023

Show notes

July 16th: Helen Betty Osborne Born (1952)
Most women have been taught to fear walking alone at night. No doubt a product of stories like the one we are telling today. On July 16th 1952 a young, bright, and driven young woman was born who, seeking to further her education, moved away from her community. A woman whose case may have sat at a standstill because of her sex and, more importantly, her race.

Macaroni and Murder - July 14 2023 Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

July 14th: Alice Crimmins’ Children Disappear (1965)
Someone’s personal life, when placed under the microscope of an investigation, can sometimes make them a likely suspect. Other times, it's the bias of an investigator that places them in the hot seat. On July 14th 1965 two young children disappeared in a case that saw their mother in the spotlight due to her extracurricular activities.

Show notes

July 12th: James Raphael Mitchell Kills (2009)
At the end of the day, a restraining order is nothing more than a piece of paper. On July 12th 2009 an angry man made his way to his ex-girlfriend’s home despite her restraining order. A piece of paper that did nothing to protect the woman he claimed to love or her young daughter.

Murder Inc. - July 11 2023 Jul 11, 2023

Show notes

July 11th: Frank Abbandando Born (1910)
Who you associate with can be the difference between life and death. On July 11th 1910 a man was born who would choose to associate with a dangerous group of individuals who would end up costing him his life. But, not before he himself took the lives of many in their name.

The Boy at the Creek - July 10 2023 Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

July 10th: Deorr Kunz Jr. Disappears(2015)
Losing a child is every parent’s worst nightmare. On July 10th 2015 a couple, quite literally, lost the young boy they shared and, in the aftermath of his disappearance, came an investigation, and cold case, that seems to have far more questions than answers.

A Boys Dark Desire - July 8 2023 Jul 08, 2023

Show notes

July 8th: Sandy Charles Kills (1995)
How much of the media we consume affects our lives and our psyche? On July 8th 1995 a young boy’s life was taken from him and, when the killer was captured, a finger was pointed, not necessarily at the one who wielded the weapon, but at the movie he watched beforehand.

The Beautiful Blonde Killer - July 7 2023 Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

July 7th: Anna Marie Hahn Born (1906)
Greed can change a person. On July 7th 1906 a woman was born who, overcome by greed, made a decision to switch from caretaker to killer. A woman who decided strangers were worth more to her dead than alive.
