Hannah Rose Walker Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

"It's been a process of seeing how ineffective our system is."
On the afternoon of October 12th, 2022, 31-year-old Hannah Walker went swimming in a scenic area near Trout Lake, Washington. Accompanied by a 67-year-old man named Jeremy, the two eventually got separated, and after waiting for some time, Jeremy called 911. A search effort would find Hannah's remains in the water, and officers initially made note of the odd circumstances at the scene.
Hannah's family has struggled to determine what happened that fateful October afternoon, and have had to fight uphill to get any momentum or answers in her case. Nearly one year later, they have more questions than answers...
Special thanks to Aia Walker for chatting with me for this episode. If you'd like to learn more about Hannah's story, please check out the website set up by Hannah's family at the following link:

The Circleville Letters (Part Two) Aug 28, 2023

Show notes

"I thought whoever this person was, you know, certainly they wouldn't go to the extent of putting a real gun in there just to scare me."
For several months, Mary Gillispie had been receiving taunting letters from an unknown writer, the contents of which alleged she'd been having an affair with her boss. These letters evolved over time, ultimately becoming a full-fledged harassment campaign against Mary, her family, and others in their small community of Circleville, Ohio.
The harassment had gone on for years, and police were no closer to figuring out the author's identity than they had been when the first letters were received in 1977. But in February of 1983, things took an unexpected turn...

The Circleville Letters (Part One) Aug 21, 2023

Show notes

"This is your last chance to report him. I know you are a pig and will prove it and shame you out of Ohio. How is your little girl? Will she grow up to be like you?"
There are hundreds of cities in the American Midwest just like Circleville, Ohio. But what makes it truly unique, what the town is most well-known for, is a strange letter-writing campaign that spanned two decades and may have left at least one person dead.
The story began in March 1977 when the anonymous letter-writer penned a note to Westfall School District superintendent Gordon Massie, urging him to stop propositioning the female bus drivers that worked under him (an allegation that was never proven). In the weeks, months, and years to come, these letters would become much more threatening and broad in scope, seemingly aimed at random figures in the area that earned the author's ire...

Eastbound Strangler (Part Two) Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

"This fits the FBI definition of a serial killer. From the facts gathered during the investigation, it could have been a local person or it could have been a transient."
In the days and weeks after the four victims' bodies were found miles outside of Atlantic City, those that knew them tried to find some answers. Since police were operating their own official investigation privately, these loved ones weren't able to find much in the way of personal resolution through it, so they decided to try and find answers their own way.
Sadly, though, it seems like the victims' lifestyles had led them to become distrusting, sharing little information with anyone outside of their own immediate circle. Even then, the ones that knew the four victims well - that worked and lived alongside them in Atlantic City - weren't able to provide much helpful info...

Eastbound Strangler (Part One) Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

"We had a bond. We were all one woman, trying to get ourselves together when we were lost... I believe that the person who got these girls out here was a person that they trusted."
On 20 November 2006, two women were walking along a dirt access road in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, just outside of Atlantic City. The road - which ran parallel to the Black Horse Pike - stretched behind a handful of dingy motels known as havens for pimps, sex workers, dealers, and addicts. There, the two women stumbled upon a grisly sight: the body of a woman, just one of four that would be found dumped in that area.
The four victims, all female, were still clothed but barefoot; their socks and shoes had been removed and were nowhere to be found. They were all laid facedown in several inches of water, and all were facing east, their bodies seemingly posed in a symbolic gesture from the killer...
