January 22nd: Casey Hathaway Goes Missing (2019)

We tell truly terrible stories on this podcast each and every single day. Stories that never have a happy ending. Today, I get to tell you one that not only has one of those extremely rare shining moments of happiness, but has a strange and whimsical twist that, while not necessarily typical when it comes to our show, I thought was a nice break just this once.

January 19th: Janette Roberson's Body Found (1983)

Some cases seem to come to a halt before they ever really begin. On January 19th 1983 a woman was killed in a case that, from the very beginning, lacked a suspect and a motive. A case that, though active, has seen very little movement over the last few decades.
