An Unsolved Murder On A Busy Train - March 23 2024 Mar 23, 2024

Show notes

March 23rd: Debbie Linsley Killed (1988)

When you hear about random, bloody, incredibly violent crimes, you automatically assume they happen under the cover of night or in someone’s home. This, however, is not always the case. On March 23rd 1988 a young woman was killed in broad daylight and yet, somehow, no one saw anything of use to try and capture the killer, nor helped when they heard the sounds of a “commotion”.

Show notes

March 20th: Brandon Woodruff Found Guilty (2009)

When a jury is swayed one way or another, sometimes personal opinions and presentation of evidence can muddy an already complicated trial.

The Hidden Serial Killer - March 18 2024 Mar 18, 2024

Show notes

March 18th: Eve Stratford Killed (1975)

Time and time again, DNA helps to solve, or at least connect, even the coldest of crimes. It isn’t, however, the magical solution to finding an elusive killer. On March 18th 1975 a young woman was brutally killed in a crime that, even all these years later, remains unsolved. A case that, if the DNA is right, might have just been one of a series for an uncaught serial killer.

The Monster and The DNA - March 16 2024 Mar 16, 2024

Show notes

March 16th: Christina Nytsch Abducted (1998)

Mass DNA testing is a hot topic of debate. It becomes hard to argue, though, after hearing about cases like this one. On March 16th 1998 a young girl was abducted in a case that, had it not been for mass DNA testing, might never have been solved and left a rapist murderer free to claim more victims.

All crimes seem senseless. But they feel especially so when the victim is a child who just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. On March 15th 2004 a young boy became a victim for nothing more than his location and the color of his skin.
