The I-70 Killer May 01, 2022

Show notes

"I think we are definitely dealing with a serial killer. He's not really getting much money out of the shops. We don't know why he's killing people."
Between April and May of 1992, a series of shooting deaths took place in Midwest shops, located intermittently along Interstate 70. Four of the victims - Robin Fuldauer, Patricia Smith, Nancy Kitzmiller, and Sarah Blessing - were young brunettes. The other two - Patricia Magers and Michael "Mick" McCown - appeared to be outliers.
For years, investigators have struggled to determine why the offender committed these crimes, with robbery and sexual assault not believed to be motives. And while the offender hasn't yet been caught, he has been linked to other crimes committed in Texas and Indiana, including a 2001 murder in which the offender was caught on surveillance footage...
To view the surveillance footage of the offender from the 2001 murder of Billy Brossman in Terra Haute, Indiana, please view and share the clip from KMOV St. Louis linked below:

The Dayton Strangler Apr 17, 2022

Show notes

"The further the investigation is conducted the deeper the mystery becomes..."
Almost exactly two years after the attacks in Cumminsville, Ohio came to an end, a nearly-identical fiend began assaulting and murdering women approximately fifty miles north, in Dayton.
First came the murder of Dona Gilman in November of 1906, followed by the murders of Anna Markowitz and her boyfriend Abe Cohan approximately nine months later. Two more women would meet their fate in January of 1909 - Mary Forschner and Elizabeth Fulhart - before the offender's crimes came to a mysterious end...

The Cumminsville Ripper Apr 10, 2022

Show notes

"The girl's head rested in a big pool of blood. Her eyes were wide open. The teeth were missing, and her face completely covered with blood. In one hand was clasped a transfer."
Throughout 1904, a series of assaults and murders would make headlines in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Cumminsville. There, in the area surrounding Spring Grove Cemetery, a beast of a man preyed upon vulnerable women traveling at night.
Three women would fall prey to the killer - Mary McDonald, Lulu Mueller, and Alma Steinway - but dozens of others would report close calls or run-ins with the ripper, who seemed to commit his crimes within close proximity to the area's rail lines...

MV Joyita Mar 20, 2022

Show notes

"The vessel would never sink unless she broke up... I just can't understand why everybody would have abandoned her."
On 10 November 1955, Captain Gerald Douglas of the merchant ship Tuvalu sighted the MV Joyita in the South Pacific near Fiji. The Joyita had left Samoa in the first week of October and was five weeks overdue to arrive in the Tokelau Islands, a territory of New Zealand, and was nearly 800 miles off-course.
When it had left port, there had been 25 people aboard the Joyita, 16 crew and 9 passengers, plus four tons of cargo. Yet the Tuvalu's boarding party found the ship barren and abandoned...

The Enfield Monster Mar 14, 2022

Show notes

“Nothing I know of is in season now, especially monsters. Anybody we know of out hunting monsters, especially with guns, will be put in jail. We’re afraid they’ll kill somebody.”
Throughout 1973, residents in and near the communities of Murphysboro, Mt. Vernon and Edwardsville reported sightings of a monster.
Locals gave the creature a number of colorful monikers, depending on where it was seen. The Big Muddy Monster. The Murphysboro Monster. The Pumphouse Monster. Perhaps today it’s best known by the name it was given earlier that year, in April, when it was reported down the road in Enfield, Illinois...

Dana Chisholm Mar 06, 2022

Show notes

"She lived two very separate lives. We all think about the small-town girl who comes to the big city, meets predators who prey on her and that leads to her demise. But that is not the case here. Dana was very savvy."
In the early morning hours of 27 February 1995, the parents of 25-year-old Dana Chisholm received a phone call from a man claiming to be an lieutenant with the Metropolitan Police Department. They were told that Dana - living more than 400 miles away from them in Washington D.C. - had been arrested for prostitution.
Hours later, Dana's parents would reach out to the same officer, only to discover that he had not been who he said he was. Fearing that something had happened to their daughter, they'd ask officers with the Metro P.D. to check in on Dana...

Katie Janness Feb 20, 2022

Show notes

"There is a monster on the loose in the city of Atlanta."
On the evening of 27 July 2021, 40-year-old Katie Janness set off on a walk with her dog, Bowie. As a bartender, Katie often kept odd hours, but had no reason to feel unsafe in her neighborhood of Midtown Atlanta, where she had lived for approximately 15 years.
After Katie failed to make it home, however, her partner Emma set off to find her, using GPS to track Katie's cell phone to nearby Piedmont Park. There, near the 10th Street entrance, Emma was able to make out a distorted shape just through the park gates. What followed is the thing nightmares are made of...

William Fenzau (Interview) Feb 06, 2022

Show notes

An interview with Lori Grande, sister of William Fenzau. If you have not already listened to the original episode, I recommend you do so before listening to this conversation, which touches and expands upon several facets of the story.

William Fenzau Jan 23, 2022

Show notes

"William stood strong in who he was. If the world didn't like that he was queer, fuck the world."
On 7 June 2005, the body of William Fenzau was discovered in his Miami, Florida home. Having been stabbed dozens of times in the neck, chest, back, and arms, investigators initially theorized that more than one killer had been involved in the vicious attack.
As detectives got to work trying to track down William's killer(s), producers and cameramen from A&E's "The First 48" followed closely. The program would end up covering the vast cast of characters that had come into William's life in the months before his death - many of whom were prominent figures in Miami's illicit methamphetamine market - but answers remain out-of-reach nearly two decades later...
Special thanks to William's sister Lori Grande for agreeing to speak with me. This episode would not have happened without her encouragement and all of her hard work over the years.
