Katara Johnson was a vibrant, young woman with a zest for life. On August 25, 2004 Katara worked the late shift, leaving work at midnight and heading home. By morning, her car was gone, and her family could not get in touch with the 21 year old. Less than 24 hours after leaving work, Katara was found dead. This homicide case remains open today, 20 years later. What happened to Katara in the middle of that night? Any one with information about the murder, Katara’s car, or a gathering that Katara attended days before the murder should call the Taylor Police Department at 512-352-5551, or to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-253-7867.

The Dartmouth Murders /// Part 2 /// 779

Part 2 of 2

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

The 2001 homicides of two Dartmouth College professors completely shocked and rocked Hanover, New Hampshire to it's core. No one could imagine something like this happening in a town best known for being the home of an elite academic institution. Half and Susanne Zantop were both loved and very highly respected by students and faculty at the Dartmouth College. The Zantop’s bodies were found on a Saturday evening, inside their home by a friend, who had arrived as an invited dinner guest. The double homicide investigation that followed was headed up by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office. This was an “all hands on deck” situation with multiple law enforcement agencies working the case. The investigation went beyond state lines and tested both the college and the community.

Brandon Cartellone ////// 777
Part 1 of 1

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com
On July 26, 2011 - Brandon Cartellone was viciously killed. His body was found in his second floor apartment at approximately 1AM on July 27th. Brandon was just 21 years old. He was a successful Industrial Design student at the Cleveland Institute of Art. Brandon’s death continues to be an open wound that will not and cannot heal for the so many people who knew and loved him. The F.B.I. has taken over the case as it appears that the Cleveland Police Department either lacked the funding, the personnel, or both to conduct a thorough and proper murder investigation. Law Enforcement still needs your help. If you have any information regarding this investigation OR information about any of the persons described in this podcast please contact the Cleveland FBI office 216-522-1400. Online tips can be sent to tips.fbi.gov

Phoenix Canal Killer /// Part 2 /// 776
Part 2 of 2
www.TrueCrimeGarage.com
Dismemberment killings are rare. We hear of them as these types of stories, make the news and headlines that get clicks. This is partially because of the rare nature of these types of crimes. Even amongst those who kill, many simply do not posses the ability to carry out such a horrific act. In Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, those communities experienced three such murders in just a twelve month timeframe. After the first, the Tucson police Captain told the local news “I think the person who did it, will probably do it again.”

The Bedside Murders /// Part 2 /// 774

Part 2 of 2
www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

Sometime between the waning hours of October 13th and the dawning of October 14th a young mother and her grandmother were viciously beaten and strangled. The night of Sunday, October 13, 1968 was a gloomy one, with rain falling steadily. Clyda Jean and her three boys arrived back at their home around 9:30pm that night. Clyda’s grandmother Nancy Warren lived in the trailer beside theirs. The next morning both Clyda Jean and Nancy Warren were discovered having been murdered in the night, found on the family property. The three boys were left unharmed. This case remains unsolved. The Manson Family is considered a possible connection and may have been responsible for the deaths.

The Twin Cities Weepy Killer /// Part 2 /// 772

Part 2 of 2

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

In the early 1980s a deadly man was stalking the women of the Twin Cities. He used different weapons and methods to kill his victims. Often after a kill, the act was followed by a phone call claiming responsibility for the murder. Why were these calls seemingly part of the killer’s M.O.? What purpose did they serve? Was it an act of remorse or just to taunt the protectors of these cities? A man known as the “Weepy Voiced Killer” successfully killed women and left them on the side streets and back alleys of Minneapolis and Saint Paul and he got away with it for two years.
