Ep. 78 - The unsolved murder of Elizabeth Andes Apr 06, 2020

Show notes

It was the first murder Oxford police had seen in a quarter century when they arrived at the apartment shared by Miami University grad Elizabeth Andes and her boyfriend, Bob Young, in 1978. Beth lay dead on the bedroom floor, naked, strangled, stabbed. And Bob stood accused. When two juries acquitted him, it raised the obvious question: Did police let a murderer go free in order to close the books quickly?

Show notes

Ohio native Ambrose Bierce became one of the most famous literary stars of his day, as well as a renowned investigative journalist. Still, people raised an eyebrow in 1913 when the 71-year-old announced he was off to find Pancho Villa and join his army as a witness to the Mexican Revolution. Ambrose disappeared on his adventure, leaving behind different versions of the legend of what might have happened to him. 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. 75 - Where is Patti Adkins? Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

Patricia Adkins was a woman in love when she and her married boyfriend planned a romantic getaway to a Canadian cabin in 2001. They were supposed to leave together from where they worked at the Honda of America plant in Marysville, Ohio. But when Patti failed to return from that trip to pick up her young daughter, her family - and police - quickly suspected Patti was never coming home again. Even without a body, police don't classify her case as a missing person; they consider her a victim of homicide. www.ohiomysteries.comfeedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Don't Look Back, Mary, by Angela Perley.

Show notes

On Mother's Day in 2000, someone walked into the Barberton home of Michelli "Mickey" Wilson and Edward Rhodes and shot them in their bed. It turned out to be the second tragedy in the life of Mickey's children, who lost their father, Samson Rollins, 13 years earlier on Father's Day. The murder of Samson Rollins was solved in a day. But 20 years later, police say they are no closer to an answer in the execution-style hit of Wilson and Rhodes. 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. 74 - The Angela Hicks case Mar 09, 2020

Show notes

Angela Hicks was 14 years old when she disappeared from her Elyria home in 1990. Her stepfather, Samuel Legg III, told police they'd had an argument and she ran away, but her remains were found five weeks later. In 2019, police traced DNA from a series of truck stop murders to that stepfather, leading to the obvious question: Was Angie the first victim in the making of a serial killer? www.ohiomysteries.comfeedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: First to Shoot, by Megan Wren.

10-Minute Mystery: How old is Ohio? Mar 05, 2020

Show notes

Ohio has been treated like a state since 1803, when Congress extended federal laws to the land. But in 1953, researchers preparing for Ohio's 150th birthday learned something stunning: Congress had never actually declared Ohio a state. So how old is Ohio, and what does it mean for the eight presidents Ohio gave the country in its first 150 years? 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
