Ep. 183: What made Eddie Rickenbacker invincible? May 23, 2022

Show notes

Eddie Rickenbacker defied death a handful of times growing up in Columbus, Ohio. He figured God was intervening. It was hard to argue the point after he survived accidents as a race car driver, being America's top combat air pilot of World War I, a civilian plane crash that killed half the passengers, and a World War II mission that left him adrift at sea for 24 days.

10-Minute Mystery: Robert Hamrick May 19, 2022

Show notes

In 1970, Rock Creek Police Chief Robert Hamrick was pursuing a speeding car when his cruiser went off the isolated dirt road and struck a tree. Though it looked like a car accident, the fact that his revolver and night stick were missing and his skull was crushed when no car windows were broken had many thinking it was the murderous act of a local street gang.
