S8, Chapter 2: The Fifth Floor Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

Calvin says that the first thing you noticed right away was the low ceilings. It was half that of the other floors. This truly felt like a nonexistent floor. Built between the crawlspaces of two actual floors.
The taller members of the group buckled their knees to give the necessary headroom. And then excited, but also anxious, the group spread out and began to explore.
Calvin cautiously walked the length of a dimly lit, concrete hall. The layout wasn’t much different than your normal hotel corridor. Doors branching off on either side to other rooms.
Most were locked, but one was open.

The Horrifying Murder of Alzada Pauline Young | FEATURED EPISODE Jul 13, 2023

Show notes

"It is undoubtedly the most hideous and dastardly crime I have ever known," the medical examiner, Dr. Weisman, said, as he left the autopsy room. Sheriff Ludwick agreed. "[It’s] the worst thing that’s happened in Knox County while I’ve been here.”
Leaves crunched under his shoes and the sun’s last rays pried their way into his squinted eyes as John walked down Crescent Street. He had an errand to run. John and Albert lived on the same street—merely its name changed as you crossed Main Street.
John knocked on his neighbor’s door. He had gotten fed up with his stepdaughter’s long absences. It had been a week since he’d seen Pauline. Albert came to the door and John asked for her. “It’s time to come home, Pauline.” She was just 16 years old, but had a mind of her own, and John was growing impatient with her.
She obliged and they walked home, their backs to the setting sun. It was Halloween night and John wanted his family together.When they arrived home, around 5:30PM, John asked his daughter, Rachel, who was 11, to call his wife at work, and let her know that Pauline was back. Rachel got her on the line and Thelma asked her to keep Pauline at home until she could get there at 7:00PM. Then the kids—Rachel and her younger brother, Bernard—went out trick-or-treating, leaving Pauline and John alone.
I'm excited to share with you one of the most meticulously researched true crime podcasts I've ever heard. This is MURDER, SHE TOLD.

S7, BONUS: My full conversation with Eric Jul 05, 2023

Show notes

You have heard bits and pieces of this audio already in the Jacob Jeremiah Landin season. But this is the full uncut interview. I actually recorded this as a sort of "aftershow" before the season was even completed—mainly to ask Eric about his relationship with his brother. I hope you find it interesting.
