Getting Away with Murder: Casey Anthony Jan 25, 2017

Show notes

The story of murdered toddler Caylee Anthony gained an enormous amount of attention in 2008 when her mother Casey didn’t report her missing for 31 days. When questioned about her daughters whereabouts, Casey told police that Caylee had been kidnapped by a babysitter. As the investigation progressed, everything Casey told her family, friends, and authorities was revealed as fiction. To make matters worse, Casey had spent the 31 days without her daughter partying and living the “Bella Vita.” In an effort to honor the memory of little Caylee and gain a greater understanding of how this tragic case occurred, we begin this episode with the Anthony family dynamics and move toward the astonishing trial verdict.

**Bed of Lies: The Murder of Lori Hacking** Jan 10, 2017
Show notes

The lies told by Mark Hacking to make him feel better about himself and appear successful proved lethal to his wife Lori after they were revealed. Lori Hacking was 5 weeks pregnant and planning a move across the country when she learned that she had been deceived by the person she loved the most. Instead of taking responsibility for his failings, Mark Hacking then killed his wife in cold blood and embarked on a faulty plan to cover his tracks. This case is hard to swallow but the pumpkin beer shared by Dick is sublime. Come to the quiet end if you dare.

JonBenet died in her home on December 25 or 26, 1996. A lengthy ransom note was found in the house, and her father, John Ramsey, found the little girl’s body in the basement of their house about eight hours after she was reported missing. She sustained a broken skull from a blow to the head and had been strangled. This case has had a huge amount of attention over the past 20 years, but it is still unsolved. Join us as we discuss the most infamous Christmas murder in history.

corina-massacre2 — **The 12 Beers of Christmas: The Covina Christmas Massacre** Dec 23, 2016
Show notes

The Covina Christmas Massacre occurred on December 24, 2008, in Covina, a city in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California. Nine people were killed, either by gunshot wounds or in an arson fire inside a house, where a Christmas Eve party was being held. The perpetrator, 45-year-old Bruce Jeffrey Pardo, who entered the house wearing a Santa suit, committed suicide, dying from a gunshot wound to the head at his brother’s residence in the early morning hours after the attack. Authorities cited marital problems as a possible motive for the violence; reports indicated that Pardo’s divorce had been finalized on December 18, one week before the massacre. This is perhaps the most gruesome and shocking Christmas Crime ever!

St. Bernardus Christmas Ale is the chosen beer for this tragic Christmas crime.

carnation1 — **The 12 Beers of Christmas: The Carnation Murders** Dec 21, 2016
Show notes

According to testimony, Joseph McEnroe and Michelle Anderson armed themselves and drove their pickup to the home of her parents, Wayne Anderson, 60, and Judy Anderson, 61, on the afternoon of Dec. 24, 2007. Once inside, McEnroe distracted Judy Anderson, who was wrapping Christmas gifts, while Michele shot her father. After Michele’s gun jammed, McEnroe then killed Wayne and Judy Anderson. The two then hid the bodies and carefully cleaned the home and waited for Michele Anderson’s older brother, Scott, his wife, Erica, both 32, and their two young children. Once the family arrived, Michele Anderson shot her brother. McEnroe and Anderson then shot Erica Anderson and McEnroe shot the children at the request of Anderson, 5-year-old Olivia and 3-year-old Nathan, because they didn’t want witnesses and said the children would be scarred for life having seen the parents killed.
Thankfully, the perpetrators of this disgusting crime will never be free to kill innocent people again.
