Episode 148: Anjelica Castillo | The Story of Baby Hope Feb 26, 2023

Show notes

Join me as I tell John the heartbreaking case of Baby Hope. When the body of a malnourished girl was found in a cooler off the Henry Hudson parkway in 1991 the homicide detectives of the 34th precinct work hard to identify her body and find her killer. It would take 22 years, but Baby Hope would eventually get her name back.
Trigger Warning: This case involves crimes against children

Episode 145: Lisl Auman | Felony Murder in Colorado Jan 16, 2023

Show notes

Hunter S. Thompson once wrote, “The case of Lisl Auman, who first wrote me from prison three years ago, is so rotten and wrong and shameful that I feel dirty just for knowing about it, and so should you.” So, let’s see how you feel about the case of the 21 year old woman who was arrested for the brutal murder of a police officer while she was handcuffed in the back of a cruiser.

Episode 141: Stephanie Bruner | Death by the Blue River Nov 27, 2022

Show notes

Around the holidays there is nothing more consistent than a mother. She has to make sure the home is clean, the meals are cooked, feasts and all, the home decorated, the cookies baked. And no mother was more reliable when it came to holiday consistency as 41 year old, mother of three, Stepahnie Bruner. That was why it seemed especially odd when, just three days before Thanksgiving, she left to take a walk at 10 PM in freezing temperatures never to return again.
Join me and I tell John the case of Stephanie Bruner.
