Murderous Melodies: Killing You Softly With Our Song Remastered Sound Nov 21, 2018

Show notes

Crime may not pay but it sure does provide an entertaining way for a singer to tell a unique story.
The murder ballad has been around for as long as singing and murder itself.
The murder ballad, a sub-genre from the ballad, is a song that tells a narrative about
a crime often including the 'why’ as well as the fallout. Join Cam and Jen as we attempt (badly)
to sing (please have ear plugs ready) and discuss some tunes you may have never known
were based on a twisted true tale.
New listener discretion by the wonderfully fabulous OctoberpodVHS Do yourself a favor and check him out!

Show notes

A man searching for cans thinks he sees a mannequin. As the man got closer, he could see it was not a mannequin but the body of a young woman. There were few clues but sadly it wouldn’t be long before this California killer would again come calling. And again. And again and many more times. This is the story of a man who lived a seemingly normal life right alongside the officers who were desperately looking for a madman. Little did they realize he was right in front of them.

Show notes

It started in July of 1967. Young women in a small college town started to go missing. They would later be found dead. Their bodies mutilated.

14. Poisoned Truth Remastered Sound Oct 10, 2018

Show notes

Imagine losing your entire family to murder and the police blame you for the heinous crime. You are then locked up for life in prison.
Poisoned Truth is the story about lies, hidden depositions and lost documents. It's a story about a flawed system. One that failed a family and community.

13. Posed For Murder: Debbie Gama Remastered Sound Oct 03, 2018

Show notes

Debbie Gama was 16 years old when she stormed out of her house, like most teens she was upset about a fight with her mother.
Debbie never came back home.
Her body was found 5 days later in Cussewago Creek.
The town was shocked when they found out who was responsible for her death.
And we were shocked to find out who else shows up in this web of murderers.
Be sure to listen all the way to the very end, we shared a few out takes?
