53. The Wife, In The Bedroom, With Picture Wire: Ruth Brown Snyder Aug 21, 2019

Show notes

The Roaring 20's brought on a lot of changes in the United States. The economy started booming and many people saw a 22% growth in their paychecks.
It was illegal to consume or make alcohol in the United States due to Prohibition, but many more Americans began to drink or drink more.
And with the passing of the 19th Amendment, women were given the right to vote.
This new era brought on a new type of woman called a "flapper."
She danced, drank, smoked, and voted.
She cut her hair, wore make-up, and partied until dawn.
She was sexually liberated.
People started to believe that women were sexual beings with wants and needs,
and if they held back these desires, they would self-destruct
Ruth did let go of all her inhibitions but still managed to destroy herself as well as those around her.

52. No Witness No Crime Part 4 Aug 15, 2019

Show notes

Final episode of a 4 part series
To look at Skidmore Missouri, you would see what many Americans would see. Kids playing in the front yards, men in their older pickups waving at everyone they pass and folks chatting with with each other as they gather in town.
With a population of only 440 people in 1981, everyone in this Missouri town knew each other many had grown up together. They protected each other and, most importantly, they knew when to keep a secret. The town people knew who the good people were, they knew who was a bit of trouble and they also knew that the devil was alive and well and living right there with them in Skidmore, Missouri.

51. The Bad Man in Aviators Jul 17, 2019

Show notes

Newton Kansas sits in America’s heartland with fields of wheat and cornfields as far as the eye can see. The small town of 19,000 is big on family, God, and rarely, does anyone lock their front doors. They all know each other as many have grown up and grown old having never left their small hometown. It is a trusting community with a long line of families raising families but that trust was shattered in the spring of 1994 when a stranger knocked on Rhonda Krehbiel's front door.

50. Harry Moore and the Groveland Four Jul 10, 2019

Show notes

On December 25, 1951, was a double celebration for Harry & Harriette Moore of Mims, Florida. Not only was it Christmas, but the couple were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. In those 25 years, the Moore’s had raised 2 daughters, taught countless children in segregated schools within Brevard County Florida, and founded the Brevard County chapter of the NAACP, just to name a few accomplishments. It had become a tradition for the couple to cut their anniversary cake just as they had on their wedding day, arm in arm, hand in had. As they sliced their cake that evening, they had no idea they would become the first assassinations of the civil rights movement.
Join Jen and Cam on this very special 1st anniversary Our True Crime Podcast episode as we discuss Harry Moore and the Groveland Four.
We have a brand new listener discretion from our buddy Edward Octoberpod @octoberpodVHS

49. The Chameleon Killer Jul 03, 2019

Show notes

St. Lucie County Florida is a community located about 90 miles north of Miami and it is just what you would expect in sunny Florida-hot and humid. The area is a heavy on the wildlife with lots of swampy canals running throughout which empty into the famed Florida Everglades. For a killer, there is no better place to dump a body because if the weather doesn’t help decay the body fast, the critters will get it and within a short amount of time, there will be no evidence that a crime was ever committed. Or, at least, that is what a killer was hoping for but one July evening, fate was not on this killer’s side. A body was left behind and it would lead to years of trying to catch the infamous killer with lots of names. Join Jen and Cam as we discuss 'The Chameleon Killer' on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast.

48. Missing Mistie Murray Jun 26, 2019

Show notes

On the morning of Wednesday May 31, 1995, Mistie Nicole Murray, age 16, told her parents she would be home late because she had band practice after school. She put on her green nylon Marching Band with the lettering SDHS Girls Band jacket, with "Mistie" on the sleeve and sat in her dad’s red TransAm with the top down, smiling and telling her dad how she will have her driver’s license soon. Her father, Steve ruffled her hair, made a bad joke about women drivers as Mistie’s mother climbed in the car and they drove off to school. She attended all her classes and even visited the school nurse for reasons that haven’t been made available to the public. Mistie called her mother, Anne, at the elementary school where her mom worked. The call was made around 3:00 pm but her mother did not answer the call and Mistie didn’t leave a message. This was not unusual as her mom was often busy especially at the end of the school day. What was unlike any other normal school day, Mistie never made it back home.

47. Brotherly Hate: The Kehoe Boys Jun 19, 2019

Show notes

Located about 90 miles north of Little Rock Arkansas is a little area called the Illinois Bayou. It has everything that you would think a bayou would have: bogs, marshes and a very prehistoric kind of feel. Locals as well as visitors flock to the area to hit the water and see what kind of goodies they can reel in but sometimes the things that they catch on the other end of the line, is something no one would expect or want. That is exactly what happened, when a couple out for a day of fishing, reeled in a ghastly sight: a body part. Authorities rush to the scene and what they would uncover would only leave more questions and unveil a hidden sect of people who's strong beliefs include anti-government but does it also include murder?
