Mary Pinchot Meyer /// Part 1 /// 62

Truecrimegarage.com

In the 60's there was little doubt that America was changing. The debate has always been and remains, who was in charge of those changes. Mary Pinchot Meyer, a divorced smart woman in her forties with ties to the CIA and the White House is just one of several that may have been silenced in that era of change and social growth. October 12, 1964 Mary went out for her usual midday stroll to get some fresh and air and maybe a little inspiration. While out walking near the C & O canal Mary was attacked. She was shot twice, died practically instantly and left for someone to find. Police make an arrest and the trial is set. But do they have the right guy? Or was Mary killed by some shadowy agency because of an affair with the late President Kennedy and because she "knew too much." This week in the garage we take a look at the unsolved murder of Mary Pinchot Meyer and find out what we know.

We also hear Nic discuss the real life cases behind Joshua's documentaries. This includes phantom clowns, suspected child serial killer Andre Rand and of course the Long Island Serial killer.

Etan Patz, Jacob Wetterling, Beverly Potts, Steven Stayner, Adam Walsh and Elizabeth Smart few if any are more famous than the child abduction of Johnny Gosch. It's a typical horror story but this time the boogeyman is real and we don't know his name. Young Johnny lives in a wonderful neighborhood in West Des Moines, Iowa. He comes from a great family. He has a paper route and he saves his money. Recently he purchased the dirt bike he had always wanted. On Sunday, September 5, 1982 Johnny got up early to hit the pavement and deliver the Sunday newspaper just like he did every weekend. He went down to the corner and picked up the papers. He said hi to some of the other boys who were prepping for their morning routes. A vehicle stops and asks Johnny for directions and just like that 12 year old Johnny Gosch is gone! But this story is far from over. Join us in the garage for suds and speculation as we discuss the disappearance of young Johnny Gosch.

The Atlanta Child Murders ////// 56
TrueCrimeGarage.com
In Atlanta, Georgia over a two year period between the summer of 1979 through the spring of 1981 there was a killer striking with an unheard of frequency. At least 28 African-American children and young adults were killed. This series of murders is sometimes called the Atlanta Child Murders. When it comes to criminal investigations we often hear how "it's not like it is on tv" yet this case was different, very different because it truly was a lot like how you would see a case work out on tv. The Atlanta Murders has all of the necessary attributes of a really good mystery and movie like investigative drama. An unknown person or persons is killing a major cities African-American youth sometimes at the rate of two or three a month and remains undetected despite the police's best efforts. The FBI and BCI units are called in. They even assembled a group of "Super Cops" from all over the country to come to Atlanta and lend their expertise. When the killer is finally caught it turns out to be one of the cities' own, a native. Then years after Wayne Williams is convicted of the murders some would come forward and wonder just how guilty is he and was he in fact responsible for all of the murders?

The Serial Killer's Apprentice ////// 54
TrueCrimeGarage.com
In the early 80's, someone was killing little girls in northern Ohio. Between October 1981 and June of 1983 the bodies of three young girls had turned up. In the first case, 12 year old victim Tina Harmon was seen with a man in his early 20's shortly before she went missing. The next victim 11 year old Krista Harrison was abducted right in front of her friend. The friend described the kidnapper as a white man who looked to be about 25 to 35 years old. In 1983 police connected the crimes to a local serial rapist 43 year old Robert Buell. Robert quickly admits to the rapes of several grown women. He would claim his innocence regarding the deaths of the young girls for the next 18 years, including his last words before his execution. Tonight we are joined again by long time garage friend James Renner to discuss the possiblity of the second killer theory known as the serial killer's apprentice.

Emma Fillipoff /// Part 2 ////// 53 Sep 29, 2016

Show notes

Emma Fillipoff pt.2 ////// 53
26 year old Emma Fillipoff has been missing for almost 4 years now. There have been plenty of strange leads in this case. Emma is spotted and photographed in a nearby city sipping coffee at a coffee shop - or so they thought. A strange unidentified man gets upset when he sees Emma's missing persons poster. He rips the poster off of the wall and tells a store clerk that the picture is of his girlfriend. Then there's the stalker. Was Emma stalked or was it as he puts it "we were just friends." Emma's mother Shelley Fillipoff spends 2 months in a city far from her home searching for her missing daughter. After criminal charges are filed against her on an unrelated event, the public eye has now become very suspicous of the mother who arrived in a city far from her home the very same day her daughter was last seen there. Grab a beer because there is plenty to talk about tonight in the garage.
