10-Minute Mystery: Leon Moncer Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

In 1982, 21-year-old Leon Moncer started acting paranoid, especially after a letter arrived with glossy magazine letters pasted into a warning: "Leave it alone or you're dead." He grew overly protective of his 3-year-old daughter, refusing to let her out of his sight. Then one night he left his home in Bellaire, Ohio, never to return. Did the letter writer follow through on a threat, or did Leon run away to protect his little girl? www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Audionautix- The Great Unknown The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch

Ep. 88 - Who killed Agatha Reichlin? Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

In 1903, Agatha Reichlin, the pretty and popular sister of a Lorain priest, was murdered in her own bed. A community anxious for a quick resolution to the local tragedy turned their sites on a visiting priest. An inquisition found that suspicion to be unfounded, leaving a now 117-year-old mystery with no obvious motive and no strong suspect. www.ohiomysteries.comfeedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: You Should Be Loved, by John Sailor. https://johnsailor.bandcamp.com Additional music: Audionautix- The Great Unknown, and The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch

10-Minute Mystery: Michael Swango, Doctor of Death Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

At least half a dozen people died mysteriously when Dr. Michael Swango began his surgical internship at Ohio State University Medical Center. By the time authorities had enough evidence to arrest Swango, he'd accumulated a 16-year career that may have made him one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. The fact that he is serving time for four deaths, however, means there are dozens of victims who will never receive personal justice. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Audionautix- The Great Unknown The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch

Ep. 87 - The secret life of Lawrence Bader Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

In 1957, Akron father and cookware salesman Lawrence Bader failed to return from a Lake Erie fishing trip, and after his damaged boat washed ashore, he was declared lost and legally dead. But four days later, he entered an Omaha, Nebraska bar calling himself Fritz Johnson, a man with a head full of false memories but a charming and flamboyant personality that turned him into a radio and TV personality. A conman, or a case of amnesia? Don't be too quick to judge. www.ohiomysteries.comfeedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Dandelion, by Oliver Hazard. https://www.olihazard.com Additional music: Audionautix- The Great Unknown, and The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch
