Murder, She Told

Still Unsolved: Donna Anthony Fisher Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

1986 - Cranston, Rhode Island.

December 5th, 1986 was a normal day for 18-year-old Bobby Fisher. It wasn’t until his neighbor pulled up at his work with an alarming message that his world was turned upside down: there was something wrong with his mother, Donna.

Donna Anthony Fisher had been found unconscious from what appeared to be a medical event in her bedroom in Cranston, Rhode Island. A few days later on her 39th birthday, Donna passed away. But things took a turn when an autopsy revealed that Donna’s cause of death wasn’t an aneurysm like everyone thought, it was strangulation. Donna had been murdered.

No charges has ever been made in Donna’s case, but that doesn’t mean it’s collecting dust. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.

Hear Donna’s story told through her son, Bobby, and walk through the case from the eyes of an investigator with the current detective, Robert Santagata.

If there’s one thing they both want, it’s for this case to be solved.

If you have any information about the murder of Donna Fisher, please contact the Cranson RI Police Dept at (401) 942-2211.

The Brutal Murders of Champa and Anita Patel Nov 25, 2022

Show notes

1996 - Windsor, Connecticut.

On March 21st, 1996, 32-year-old Anita Patel stopped by her mother, Champaben Patel’s home, to drop off her toddler while she took her 4-year-old daughter to school.

She had no idea that just behind the doors of the home, was a man attacking her mother. Anita yelled her daughter to take her brother and run.

When police arrived to the Patel home, they walked into one of the worst crime scenes they’d ever encountered. Both Champa and Anita had been killed; tortured and set on fire. This was a brutal and awful crime.

The Patel family sought comfort in one another in the immediate aftermath, mourning the loss of these two important women. But as time went on, the cracks in the family dynamic began to show, and they started questioning if somebody close knew more than they were letting on, asking themselves one important question: What if the killer was right there with them in the room?

There is currently a $50k being offered in this case. If you have any information about the murders of Champaben and Anita Patel, please contact the Connecticut Cold Case Unit’s tip line at 860-548-0606, or email a tip to cold.case@ct.gov

Justice for Steve & Wendy Reid: The Capture of Logan Clegg Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

2022 - Concord, New Hampshire.

Stephen & Djeswende "Wendy" Reid were ready to slow down and enjoy their golden years together. After impressive, lifelong careers as humanitarians serving those in need all over the world, they finally retired to Steve’s hometown of Concord, New Hampshire.

On the afternoon of April 18th, 2022, the day after Easter, Steve and Wendy went for a walk on a trail system called Broken Ground Trails near their apartment complex. They never made it home. On the trail, they were shot to death in cold blood by a stranger; shaking up everyone in New England. Who would shoot such wonderful people?

For 6 months it seemed like the police didn’t have many leads. A composite sketch had been released, but Steve and Wendy barely made the news anymore, despite the brazen nature of the crime….

Until October 13th, 2022, when the Concord police announced their previously unnamed person-of-interest had been apprehended for unrelated crimes in Vermont. His name was Logan Clegg, and this announcement came seemingly out-of-the-blue. A few days later, Logan was officially charged with two counts of murder.

How did the police come to connect Logan to the crime scene?

The answer is complicated… and it came just in time, because Logan had a one way ticket out of the country in just 2 days…

This is everything you need to know about the current investigation into the murders of Steve and Wendy Reid, and the charges against Logan Clegg

The Horrifying Murder of Alzada Pauline Young Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

1940 - Rockland, Maine.

It was Halloween night, and 16-year-old Alzada Pauline Young wanted to go out. Her younger siblings were trick-or-treating, and on their way to a party. Why was she being punished?

In the height of an argument, she drew a knife in a threat against her step-father, John Phelps, who was the only thing standing in her way. In what he claimed was self defense, he hurled the closet weapon at her—a hammer—killing her instantly.

What happened next, was one of the most heinous and horrifying attempts at a cover up in Maine history.

John cut up her body under the cover of darkness, disposed of each part in burlap bags, and made sure all trace of Pauline was removed… The teenager did have a habit of staying away from home. He’ll just tell her mother she ran off to get married…

But little did he know, somebody had been listening. Neighbors were growing suspicious, and his secret would only stay buried for so long.

Was this a terrible and tragic accident? Or a man who killed his wife’s daughter in a homicidal rage because he wanted her gone?

The Incredible Life of Tot Harriman, Part Two Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

2001 - League City, Texas.

When Tot Harriman arrived in the US after the fall of Saigon, Vietnam in 1975, nobody knew the lasting impact she would go on to have in greater Portland area in ME.

With a big smile, hard work, and great food to share, she helped cultivate the Vietnamese community in Maine that stands strong today.

When Tot was 57, she decided to move to Texas to be closer to her children. But in July of 2001 when she was going to look at homes, both Tot and her car vanished without a trace on Highway 35 between Houston and her destination of Corpus Christi.

Her son, Chien Si fought tooth and nail to keep his mom’s case in spotlight— to make people care… but without clues pointing to an answer, the attention on Tot’s case tapered off, and the trail eventually went cold. To this day, her case remains unsolved.

Some think her case is connected to the Texas Killing Fields, others think she may have gone off the road, or been abducted. Her family just wants to know the truth about what happened to their mom.

This is part two of Tot Tran Harriman’s story.

If you have any information on Tot’s disappearance, I encourage you to contact the League City PD at (281) 332-2566.

Surviving the Connecticut River Valley Killer: Jane Boroski tells her story Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

1988 - West Swanzey, New Hampshire.

On a hot summer night in 1988, 22-year-old Jane Boroski, who was 7-months pregnant, stopped at a convenience store on her way home from a fair, when she was attacked by an unknown assailant who stabbed her 27 times and left her for dead. Miraculously, Jane survived... and so did her baby.

In the 1980’s, a serial killer was preying on women in the area surrounding the Connecticut River Valley in New Hampshire and Vermont. To this day, the identity of the killer is still unconfirmed, and remains one of New England’s most prolific unsolved cases.

There are 7 known victims connected to the Connecticut River Valley Killer, and one survivor—who believes that without a doubt, she almost became his 8th.

But there is so much more to Jane Boroski than the night she was attacked, and 34-years later, she's ready to open up about it.

This is Jane's story... in her own words.

If you have any information on who attacked Jane or any of the victims of the Connecticut River Valley Killer mentioned in this episode, please submit a tip to the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit at coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov.
