September 14th: Edward Wheeler Hall and Eleanor Mills Killed (1922)
Sensationalism and the media can warp and alter a case right before our very eyes. On September 14th 1922 a couple was murdered while out on a romantic rendezvous. A case that, at its peak, was all the nation was talking about and splashed across almost every front page in 1926.

Show notes

September 13th: Sam DeStefano Born (1909)

On September 13th 1909 a man was born who would go on to cement a reputation as one of the most dangerous and deadly men in his Chicago gang. So much so that even his fellow members tried to disassociate with him and called his crimes the act of a sociopath.

September 12th: Linda Agostini Born (1905)

The husband did it. It’s become a trope, a common practice, to assume that the husband is always responsible when a wife goes missing or turns up dead. On September 12th 1905 a woman was born who would disappear without any warning. A woman who, when her body was found, would become one of the many victims who fit inside that massive category.

September 10th: Jaclyn Dowaliby Dies (1988)

When all of your evidence is circumstantial, is that enough to convict a person that may, or may not, be innocent? On September 10th 1988 a young girl disappeared from her home in a case that, though there was a conviction, remains unsolved to this day. A case that was built almost solely on circumstantial evidence and may have ignored another very real potential suspect.

On September 8th 1970 a man was born who would go on to commit a deadly, and historical, shooting that left 13 bodies in his wake. A man who, depending on who you spoke to, was either a kind and sweet man or one who held a long and dangerous grudge against the American military.

Dr Death - September 6 2022 Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

September 6th: Joseph Michael Swango was Sentenced (2000)
The idea that someone who is supposed to save your life is actually a serial killer is a reality that most can’t even comprehend. On September 6th 2000 a man was sentenced for just a fraction of his many crimes. A man who, time and time again, swore an oath to do no harm and, instead, may have killed as many as 60 of his patients.
