NH Serial Killer: Sheila LaBarre, Part Two Apr 20, 2022

Show notes

2006 - Epping, New Hampshire.

Sheila LaBarre was on the run. While only wanted for questioning in the disappearance of Kenneth Countie, Sheila didn't want to take a chance; she dyed her hair bright red and tried to skip town with a fresh wad of cash.

But while Sheila was hopping from hotel to hotel, investigators were tearing apart the secrets that lay between the walls of the historic farmhouse. With multiple burn pits, and tons of evidence collected at the scene that doesn't quite match up, police are starting to wonder if maybe Kenneth isn't the only victim of Sheila LaBarre... could they have a serial killer on their hands?

This is part two (of three) of the Sheila LaBarre case.

NH Serial Killer: Sheila LaBarre, Part One Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

2006 - Epping, New Hampshire.

When Epping Police Sergeant Shawn Gallagher received a wellness check concerning 24-year-old Kenneth Countie that sent him to Sheila LaBarre's estate, he figured it would be 'yet another encounter with Sheila', who was infamous around town for her behavior with men. This wasn't the first time he'd gone to her farm.

But a few weeks later, he received another call... this time reporting Kenneth as missing. But Kenneth wouldn't just leave on his own, and when police return to the farm, they start putting together the pieces of the unimaginable horror of what really happened inside the walls of the old farmhouse... and set out to catch a cold-blooded killer on the loose.

This is part one of the Sheila LaBarre case.

Kimberly Morse was the life of the party. She loved to entertain and make people laugh and smile, and she had a wide circle of friends and family who adored her. A true extrovert, Kim could make friends with just about anyone. This makes it so much harder to accept what happened to her.

In January of 2000, somebody was in Kim's home, waiting in the dark for her to get back from work. Somebody who knew she worked late nights. Kim was murdered in her own kitchen. Her body wasn't discovered until 15 hours later when firefighters responded to a fire at the apartment, unaware of the horror waiting inside.

But as the mystery unravels, the potential suspect list continues to grow, and one thing remains clear to police: Kimberly Morse knew the man who killed her.

The Maine Cold Case of Raynald Levesque Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

1994 - Madison, Maine.

At 55, Raynald Levesque was living the American dream he set out to achieve: he had a beautiful family, a community who loved him, and a successful local business he enjoyed. A proud French-Canadian, Ray was looking forward to traveling in his retirement, and meeting his future grandchildren... but Ray would never see those golden years.

One morning in April of 1994, he was shot by an unknown man in his own home in Madison, Maine. The intruder stole cash and left Ray for dead. When he was discovered hours later, it was too late.

For the past 28-years, Ray's case has quietly sat on the Maine State Unsolved Homicide list. Little progress has been made since the initial investigation.

But Ray's daughter, Julia, still holds onto faith that somebody has the key. She reached out to me to tell her dad's story, hoping somebody out there can help bring her family the long-awaited answers they deserve.

If you have any information about the murder of Ray Levesque, please contact the Maine State Major Crimes Unit Central at (207) 624-7143 or leave a tip.

New England's Most Wanted: John William McGrath Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

1962 - Newport, New Hampshire.

John William McGrath was a brilliant teenager. He was accepted to Dartmouth University and was starring in the school play. He came from a loving home and had a good future... but on a chilly night in March of 1962, just shy of his 18th birthday, John took his father's beloved rifle, killed his little brothers, and waited in the dark for his parents to return home to give them the same fate.

How could such a bright young man murder his family in cold blood? John was found unfit to stand trial, and was committed indefinitely to the New Hampshire State Hospital where for the next decade, he was a star patient... until an ordinary Tuesday night in August 1974 when he simply walked away, and never returned.

This is the story of Francis, Willena, Peter, and Charles McGrath, whose lives were tragically cut short by somebody they loved, and the search New Hampshire's longest fugitive who took their lives, John William McGrath.

If you have any information about the whereabouts of John William McGrath, I encourage you to contact the New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force at (603) 225-1646.

The Disappearance of Lynne Schulze Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

1971 - Middlebury, Vermont.

For 18-year-old Lynne Schulze, 1971 was an exciting time. She was coming-of-age during a time of great change in America, and left her hometown in Connecticut to go to a quaint New England liberal arts school, Middlebury College.

But three months after her freedom as a young adult began, something went wrong. Lynne missed an important exam; one she'd been studying for. That same day, she was spotted near a bus station in town, but had left all of her belongings in her dorm.

At the time, it was easy to cast missing young people as counter-culture runaways; moving off the grid in the nearby mountains.

But Lynne was responsible, and her family insisted she wouldn't just leave without telling them... but she just vanished, leaving behind little for police to go on... within months, Lynne's case sadly went cold.

Until 2015, when an infamous millionaire named Robert Durst is arrested for murder, and this 44-year-old, small-town missing person case is thrust into the national spotlight. Is Robert Durst the key to solving this mystery?

If you have any information about the 1971 disappearance of Lynne Schulze, please contact Thomas Hanley at the Middlebury Police Dept at (802)-388-3191.

Part 2 - After David Willoughby was acquitted of the brutal abduction and murder of 21-year-old Paula Roberts, the public was furious. How could such a flagrant misstep of justice happen? Two people were responsible for Paula's murder. How did David get away?

With fingers pointing in every direction and criminal contempt charges coming down on uncooperative witnesses, will the jury find anyone guilty of murder at the center of this circus? Will Paula Roberts family get justice?

This is part two of the story of Paula Roberts, and one of the most sensational murder trials in Maine's history.

The Case of Paula Roberts: David Willoughby Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

1983. Augusta, Maine.

Part 1 - In December of 1983, all of central Maine was pitching in efforts to help search for a young woman who was abducted during a robbery at a local ice cream shop—21-year-old UMF student, Paula Roberts.

A month later, when the city editor of the Kennebec Journal showed up to work, the call of a lifetime was waiting for him: a man who had a first hand account of what happened to Paula... and who had killed her. The catch? He wanted to remain anonymous. But the KJ told him that in order to print the story, he needed to show them where Paula's body was located.

The following day, the anonymous tipster was arrested: 26-year-old David Willoughby. But David insisted he was innocent. It was his step-brother, Phillip, who killed her. Not him. But there's a lot of circumstantial evidence against him... will the jury find him innocent?

This is part one of the story of Paula Roberts, and one of the most sensational murder trials in Maine's history.
