August 7th: Jeannette Depalma Dies (1972)

The Strange Deaths of Two Hollywood Stars - August 4 2022 Aug 04, 2022

Show notes

August 4th: Jeanette Loff Killed (1942)
How much can coincidence sway a case? On August 4th 1942 a young film star died inside her home in a case that was eerily similar to one that took place over 20 years before. Their deaths, and their similarities, remain a topic of debate and a mystery that may never be solved.

The Murder of A Las Vegas Performer - August 3 2022 Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

August 3rd: Gerard Soules Born (1936)
Sometimes a bleeding heart and a need for company can come with a deadly price tag. On August 3rd 1936 a talented and lovely man was born and, later in life, found himself in need of companionship. It was that need, and the want to help someone, that put him into contact with a dangerous man who, depending on what you believe, may or may not have made this man pay for that decision with his life.
