Show notes

One of Alicia's close friends joined me to discuss this 37-year-old case of missing a person. She is a victim advocate and has some interesting things to say about this case and how it may be solved. She also talks about their steps to discover what happened to their friend. Alicia Markovich, a 15-year-old from Windber, Pennsylvania, disappeared on April 26, 1987, after an argument at her father's home in Blairsville. Despite extensive searches and investigations, her case remains unsolved, leaving unanswered questions and a community still seeking closure. Over the years, web sleuths and family efforts have kept Alicia's story alive, hoping for new leads to unravel the mystery of her disappearance.

Show notes

The FBI provided investigative assistance to Illinois police. In 1980, Gacy was convicted of murdering 33 young men ranging in age from 14 to 21. In 1978, after one of Gacy’s victims, Robert Piest, was reported missing, police learned that Gacy was the last person known to have seen him. After obtaining a search warrant, police discovered the bodies of 29 boys and young men in or near Gacy’s house; four other bodies were found in the nearby Des Plaines River. Indeed, the area of the house had emitted a foul stench for years, but Gacy had told his houseguests and his wife that the smell was the result of moisture buildup. At his trial Gacy’s plea of innocent by reason of insanity was supported by the testimony of several psychologists, who diagnosed him as schizophrenic, but was rejected by the jury, which found him guilty of all 33 murders of which he was accused; he was executed by lethal injection in 1994. - Britannica Follow Nic on Twitter @TCGNic Find all their shows and merchandise on their website True Crime Garage SOURCES: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97809682/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97811240/ https://apnews.com/article/chicago-2a5842ef8ee46f8d43799bc50f390ad8 https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Wayne-Gacy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5s7WMxSplg https://www.biography.com/news/john-wayne-gacy-timeline-murders https://vault.fbi.gov/John%20Wayne%20Gacy John Wayne Gacy timeline: The efforts to recover, name his 33 ...https://www.chicagotribune.com › history › ct-john-wa… John Wayne Gacy, the country's worst serial killer - Chicago ...https://www.chicagotribune.com › nation-world › chi-c… John Wayne Gacy - Chicago Tribunehttps://www.chicagotribune.com › topic › john-wayne-…

Show notes

If you haven't listened yet, check it out. Thanks, Bill From railroad towns like Ladore to cow towns like Newton and Wichita, southeast Kansas pulsed with rowdy activity during the late nineteenth century. The unruly atmosphere drew outlaws, including the Dalton Gang, and even crazed serial killers, the likes of the Bender clan. Violent incidents, from gunfights to lynchings, punctuated the region's Wild West era, and the allure of the frontier also attracted the everyday people whose passions sometimes spawned bloodshed as well. Award-winning author Larry E. Wood explores thirteen of these remarkable episodes in the criminal history of southeast Kansas. Buy HERE

Molly Bish Aug 02, 2024

Show notes

Molly Bish was a 16-year-old girl who disappeared in Massachusetts in 2000. Her remains were found nearly three years later in the woods of Whiskey Hill in nearby Palmer. Despite ongoing investigations, no one has been charged with her murder. Twenty years after 16-year-old Molly Bish’s body was found, Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early remains optimistic about solving her murder. His office is actively investigating the case, and they’ve named Francis “Frank” Sumner Sr. as a person of interest. Sumner, who died in 2016, was a central Massachusetts resident with a history of criminal activity. He fits the description provided by Molly’s mother and resembles a police sketch based on her description. However, despite these developments, no one has been charged with Molly Bish’s murder1. Her remains were found nearly three years after her disappearance in the woods of Whiskey Hill in nearby Palmer2. If you’re interested, there’s an exclusive look at the evidence that remains in storage more than two decades after her disappearance3.

She was last seen walking home from a local movie theater with her sister, Sheryl, in Ohio. On November 13, 1960, a white man stopped his car and offered them a ride home. When Nancy declined, he forced her into the car and drove off, leaving her young sister behind. The next day, Nancy’s body was found in a wooded area about eight miles from where she was abducted. She had been shot and sexually assaulted. Despite more than 300 possible suspects investigated over the years, her killer remains unidentified.
