Josh Harmon Apr 26, 2024

On this week’s show I want to take you back to the spring of 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia.

The city was still recovering from the Atlanta Child Murders from 1981 and when the news hit the wire 8-year-old Joshua Harmon was missing everyone held their collective breath and hoped this wasn’t the beginning of another string of killings.

Joshua Harmon's body was found 2 days after he disappeared on May 15, 1988. His family has waited 33 years for the answers they now have today.

The Missing Paper Boys Apr 19, 2024

The disappearance of Eugene Martin on August 12, 1984, remains a haunting mystery in Des Moines, Iowa. Eugene, a 13-year-old paperboy, vanished while delivering newspapers, leaving enduring questions and a community seeking answers for decades. Despite extensive investigations and the involvement of federal agents, Eugene's case is still unresolved. The only clues left behind were witness accounts of Eugene speaking with an unidentified man early that morning and his abandoned newspaper bag found later. This case and the similar disappearance of another paperboy, Johnny Gosch, have sparked theories and continuous search efforts. The impact of Eugene's story extends beyond Des Moines, symbolizing the broader issue of missing children and the importance of community awareness and safety. Resources are available at the Iowa Cold Cases website and The Charley Project for more detailed information on Eugene's case.

Riley Strain Press Conference: UPDATE Mar 29, 2024

The case of Riley Strain, a University of Missouri student, has captured widespread attention following his mysterious disappearance and subsequent death. Riley Strain was reported missing after a night out with friends in Nashville on March 8, 2024. His disappearance led to an extensive search that ended tragically when his body was discovered in the Cumberland River two weeks later.

The initial autopsy suggested that Strain's death was accidental, with no signs of trauma from weapons. However, the Strain family, seeking further clarity, ordered a second private autopsy. This decision came amid puzzling circumstances surrounding the discovery of Riley's body, which was found without pants, boots, and wallet. The absence of water in his lungs, a common indicator of drowning, further complicated the narrative and prompted the family to seek additional tests.

Michelle Martinko: December 19, 1979 Mar 29, 2024

Michelle Martinko was a victim of a tragic crime that occurred in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on December 19, 1979.

The case remained unsolved for nearly four decades until advancements in DNA technology led to the identification and conviction of Jerry Lynn Burns for her murder.

The case of Jerry Lynn Burns highlights a complex intersection of privacy rights and law enforcement's use of modern technology in criminal investigations. The Iowa Supreme Court's decision underscores a legal precedent that discarded items are not protected under the Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures.

This ruling aligns with previous court decisions that have determined once an individual throws something away, they forfeit any expectation of privacy over the discarded item. However, Burns' argument about the invisibility of DNA and the need for specialized analysis to obtain a DNA profile raises important questions about the extent of privacy individuals can expect over their genetic information, even when it is left in a public place.

The court's decision reflects the ongoing debate over privacy in the age of DNA testing and forensic advancements, balancing the rights of individuals with the needs of law enforcement to solve crimes.

Presser of the Week: Portland Cold Case Unit, The Wheatley's Mar 08, 2024

The Portland Police Bureau Cold Case Unit will be reinstated thanks to a grant.

In 2004, PPB formed a Cold Case Unit to use technological advances to review and investigate unsolved homicides dating back to the 1960s. Over the next 18 years, the Cold Case Unit reviewed more than 270 cases, clearing more than 50 of them. More than 30 individuals were charged with homicide-related crimes.

In 2022, the Cold Case Unit was disbanded due to the reallocation of resources in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, civil unrest, unprecedented retirements and resignations, and exponential increases in both homicides and gun-related crimes.

In 2023, PPB applied for and received a grant through the National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI). The $2.5 million grant will fund four detectives and provide $300,000 for advanced testing, including Forensic Genetic Genealogy (FGG). The Cold Case Unit will review not only unsolved homicides but also unsolved missing persons cases and unsolved violent crimes, such as robberies and assaults.

“I feel very fortunate that we’re able to bring back the Cold Case Unit,” Chief Bob Day said. Clearing unsolved cases will hopefully provide some closure for victims’ families. Work in this space can also reduce crime by apprehending prolific violent offenders.”

With hundreds of unsolved cases to examine, the Cold Case Unit will be tasked with prioritizing their caseload. The prioritization process will consider severity, with homicides being a priority. Violent crimes will be prioritized based on the time remaining under the statute of limitations.

One of those cold cases is from August 29, 1988, police responded to a welfare check at 2612 N. Holman, which the granddaughter of the occupants of that residence called in.

Police entered the residence, where they discovered the bodies of Robert Wheatley, 61, and Frieda Wheatley, 69, in the basement. The medical examiner determined the cause of death as strangulation. Detectives believe that the Wheatley’s died on August 27, 1988.

It is apparent from the crime scene that the motive was robbery. There was no sign of forced entry. The home was ransacked, and a television set, ATM card, credit card, and the Wheatley’s light green 1979 Buick Regal were stolen. The ATM and credit cards were used extensively in Northeast, North, and Downtown Portland before Wheatley’s bodies were discovered. The Buick was recovered in a Jantzen Beach Shopping Center parking lot a few days later.

Investigating Detectives believe that people in the community have information about this crime.

Witnesses may contact Cold Case Homicide Unit investigators at (503) 823-0400. To remain anonymous, witnesses may provide information through Crime Stoppers of Oregon.

Crime Stoppers of Oregon offers cash rewards for information reported to Crime Stoppers that leads to an arrest in any unsolved felony crime, and tipsters can remain anonymous.

Information about this case or any unsolved felony crime may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,500.

On August 23, 1992, Tammy J. Zywicki departed Evanston, Illinois, for college in Grinnell, Iowa, where she was expected to arrive that evening. Later that day, Zywicki's car was found by an Illinois State Trooper and ticketed as being abandoned. On August 24, 1992, the vehicle was towed by the Illinois State Police. On that same evening, Zywicki's mother contacted the Illinois State Police and advised them that her daughter had not arrived at college.

On September 1, 1992, Zywicki's body was located along Interstate Highway 44 (I-44) in rural Lawrence County, Missouri, which is located between Springfield and Joplin, Missouri. She had been stabbed to death.

Zywicki was reportedly last seen with her car (shown above) at mile marker 83 on I-80 in Central Illinois between 3:10 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on August 23, 1992. It was also reported that a tractor/trailer was seen near Zywicki's vehicle during this period. The driver of the tractor/trailer is described as a white male between 35 and 40 years of age, over six feet tall, with dark, bushy hair.

Some of the victim's personal property is known to be missing, including a Cannon 35mm camera and a musical wristwatch. The watch is Lorus brand, with a green umbrella on its face and a green band. The watch plays the tune "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head."

Presser of the Week: New Mexico Cold Case Unit Feb 29, 2024

The first-ever Cold Case Unit dedicated to solving homicide and sexual assault cases that have gone unsolved for years has been established by the New Mexico Department of Justice.

Austin is not only the capital of Texas but also holds the title of Live Music Capital of the World. In 1994, the city created the Austin Film Festival, and filmmakers and actors such as Mike Judge, Richard Linklater, and Matthew McConaughey call Austin home.

NEW: Bill Thomas on Colonial Parkway Murders Update Pt 2 Feb 02, 2024

UPDATE: Suspect Named in one of the Colonial Parkway Murders from the 1980s. Bill Thomas, the brother of victim Cathy Thomas, is back to discuss the latest update and suspect Alan W. Wilmer Sr., who died in 2017 at 63 years old.

The Colonial Parkway murders are a series of unsolved killings that took place on a scenic road in Virginia, linking Yorktown and Jamestown, two historic places. The parkway preserves the natural and cultural beauty of the region and does not allow commercial vehicles or tolls. Drivers can admire the York and James Rivers and the changing seasons along the road. Bill Thomas, the brother of Cathy Thomas, one of the victims, has been fighting for justice and awareness.

Crimemuseum.org reports that a serial killer may have killed eight people on the parkway, which is federal land. The FBI may get involved in the investigations, too. The killer went after couples or individuals who parked their cars in or near lover's lane spots. The victims were not robbed or sexually assaulted, indicating that the killer had a different reason. The police have questioned 150 suspects, but none of them fit the description of the killer.

Colonial Parkway Murders w/ Bill Thomas & Nic of True Crime Garage 2019 Pt 2 Jan 09, 2024

With the news of a break in the Colonial Parkway Murders, I wanted to re-release an interview I conducted with Bill Thomas, brother of victim Cathy Thomas & Nic Edwards of the True Crime Garage podcast, where we discussed the case, which was at a standstill in 2019. Some essential facts about the Colonial Parkway are if you have never had the pleasure of driving it or experiencing it on a class trip.

According to the National Park Service https://www.nps.gov/colo/parkway.htm

The Colonial Parkway is a twenty-three mile scenic roadway stretching from the York River at Yorktown to the James River at Jamestown.
The road does it best to remind drivers of days past as the parkway does not allow semi trucks and is toll-free.
As you meander though the parkway you are graced with beautiful views of the James and York rivers that run along the parkway.
According to Triple A "redbuds and dogwoods decorate the roadway in spring, while fall brings an explosion of autumn colors”
From an article in the Daily Press in 1990, the parkway is no place to be after dark ”At night, the mood changes. The trees form a tunnel of blackness, broken only if the moon is shining. There are no streetlights, no call boxes and no fast-food restaurants or convenience stores where a driver might find refuge in case of a breakdown”.
The parkway is under the rangers' jurisdiction because it is federal land owned by the National Park Service
When a serious crime is committed, the York County Sheriff's Department, the Williamsburg or James City police departments are called to assist, Neprash said.
The parkway is federal land, the FBI may also become involved in investigations.
Crimemuseum.org says, "police have questioned 150 suspects in connection to these four cases, but all have been cleared.
The police attribute these eight murders to the same killer because of similarities in each case.
All of the victims were killed at or near their car, the first three being found at known lover’s lane areas.
None of the victims were robbed, and sexual assault did not appear to be a motive in any of the cases.
The first and third murders were mere miles apart, and the second and fourth were committed about a half hour away from the Parkway.
In 2018, the Facebook page Colonial Parkway Murders, which is run by Cathy’s brother Bill Thomas, and today's guest revealed that DNA had been found at 3 of the 4 crime scenes which could potentially conclusively link the cases and lead to an arrest. Hair that had been found in Cathy’s hand and a biological sample found on Robin have never been tested
The First couple to fall victim Cathy Thomas and Rebecca Dowski

Cathleen Thomas, 27, Class of 1981 graduate United States Naval Academy and College of William & Mary senior Rebecca Ann Dowski, 21. On October 12, 1986, Columbus Day weekend, their bodies were found inside Thomas' white 1980 Honda Civic at the Cheatham Annex Overlook

The Sodder Family Christmas Mystery Dec 23, 2023

This is the story of the Sodder family, who lost five of their children in a mysterious fire on Christmas Eve in 1945. I have based my account on a New York Post article from 1975, which reveals some of the odd details of this case.

The children had opened their gifts earlier that night and were eager to play with them. Their parents went to sleep at 10:30 p.m.

Around 1:30 a.m., Jennie smelled smoke and saw that their room was filled with it. The house was on fire.

The Sodders managed to escape, but they could not find their five children. They were not outside, and there was no way to see them inside the burning house. The fire department declared that they had died in the fire. However, no remains, bones, or any evidence of human tissue were ever found in the ashes...

The mystery remains unsolved...

THROWBACK: JonBenet w/ The Captain of True Crime Garage Part 2 Dec 22, 2023

Pt. 2

The Captain, co-host of the True Crime Garage Podcast, joined Who Killed...? in 2021 to talk about one of the most infamous unsolved Christmas murders of all time, 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey.

Statement on the 25th Anniversary of the JonBenet Ramsey Murder

As of December 2021, the Boulder Police Department has processed more than 1,500 pieces of evidence related to the murder of JonBenet Ramsey.

JonBenet was six years old when she was reported missing on Dec. 26, 1996, after her family reported finding a ransom note inside their home in the 700 block of 15th Street. Her body was found in a basement room, and a later autopsy revealed that the cause of her death was strangulation.

As of December 2021, that evidence has included the analysis of nearly 1,000 DNA samples.

The BPD Major Crimes Unit has received, reviewed, or investigated more than 21,016 tips, letters, and emails, and detectives have traveled to 19 states to interview or speak with more than 1,000 individuals in connection to this crime.

Thanks to the enormous advances in DNA technology, multiple suspects have been run through the system to check for matches. CBI has updated over 750 reference samples with the latest DNA technology. The Boulder Police Department works closely with CBI on future DNA advancements.

Additionally, Boulder Police have worked with CBI to ensure the DNA in the system can be compared correctly to new DNA samples uploaded to ensure accuracy.

That DNA is checked regularly for any new matches.

As the Department continues using new technology to enhance the investigation, it is actively reviewing genetic DNA testing processes to see if they can be applied to this case.

Anyone with information related to this investigation is asked to contact our tipline at 303-441-1974, BouldersMostWanted@bouldercolorado.gov , or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477) or www.nococrimestoppers.com

The BPD Major Crimes Unit has received, reviewed, or investigated more than 21,016 tips, letters, and emails, and detectives have traveled to 19 states to interview or speak with more than 1,000 individuals about this crime.
Thanks to the enormous advances in DNA technology, multiple suspects have been run through the system to check for matches. CBI has updated over 750 reference samples with the latest DNA technology. The Boulder Police Department works closely with CBI on future DNA advancements.
Additionally, Boulder Police have worked with CBI to ensure the DNA in the system can be compared correctly to new DNA samples uploaded to ensure accuracy. That DNA is checked regularly for any new matches.

As the Department continues using new technology to enhance the investigation, it actively reviews genetic DNA testing processes to see if they can be applied to this case.

Anyone with information related to this investigation is asked to contact our tipline at 303-441-1974, BouldersMostWanted@bouldercolorado.gov, or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477) or www.nococrimestoppers.com

LISK w/ author Jesse P. Pollack Part 2 Dec 08, 2023

Jesse P. Pollack was born and raised in the garden state of New Jersey, and has served as a contributing writer for Weird NJ magazine since 2001. His first book, Death on the Devil’s Teeth, coauthored with Mark Moran, was published in 2015 to critical acclaim. Also an accomplished musician, Pollack’s soundtrack work has been heard on Driving Jersey, an Emmy-nominated PBS documentary series. He is married with two children, three dogs, and a couple of cats.

The first set of remains was discovered in 2010 while police were searching for another woman, 24-year-old Shannan Gilbert. It wouldn't be for another year when Gilbert's body would be found across the way on neighboring Oak Beach. Once Gilbert's body was recovered, the total number of bodies found was 11. Police said most of the women worked in prostitution and advertised on such services as Craigslist. When an independent autopsy was performed on Gilbert's body, they were able to determine she was killed due to homicidal strangulation. The reason for the second autopsy was the first one concluded Gilbert had died from drowning and drug overdose. The autopsy was able to show she did not die from a natural disease, drug overdose, or drowning. Gilbert had vanished after visiting a customer and was told to have freaked out and started banging on neighbor's doors, asking for help and saying people were trying to kill her.

Sarah Pryor: 1985 Dec 01, 2023

Who Killed Sarah Pryor?

I want to thank a listener for suggesting this story.

I have done episodes on the case of Molly Bish and Holly Pirrainen, and the listener suggested I look into the case of Sarah Pryor.

Another case connected loosely to the Pryor case is that of 16-year-old Cathy Malcolmson.

Cathy was working at the IGA supermarket when she was abducted on her way home from work.

The listener, who is from the Massachusetts area where these abductions took place, said there had been some talk that Sarah’s case may also be connected to Molly and Holly’s cases.

I decided to look into the Pryor mystery and was surprised by what I found.

One of the similarities I began to see was the area's geography and how close these incidents took place to one another.

Sarah was taken an hour from where Holly went missing, but all three of these cases occurred just off the Massachusetts Turnpike.

It may be a stretch to think these cases could be connected, but it doesn’t mean the idea should be discounted.

Some books and documentaries talk about how the construction of the interstate enabled a new type of killer.

Amy Mihaljevic Nov 23, 2023

TIPS: 440-871-1234

The thing is, that October 27, 1989, was just like any other day in northeast Ohio up until those first reports of a missing girl from Bay Village hit the news around 10 o’clock. The city and the citizens felt like they had been punched in the gut. How could one of their own be taken right out from under the noses of the public, across from the police station nonetheless? As the days progressed, new information was being released regularly, with the most important being that of this phone caller who had potentially lured Amy to the plaza that Friday afternoon. The information about this phone call was given by two of Amy’s friends, who had been told of the plan on the meeting day. In speaking with Chief Spaetzel, these kids were able to provide a few very significant details, one of the most essential being that Amy was told she had $45 to spend and that if there was any money left over, she could also get a gift.

Suppose you would like to help support this podcast. In that case, you can donate via the Venmo app with my username @bill-huffman-3.

If you have any information regarding Amy's murder, please get in touch with the Bay Village Police Department @ 440-871-1234 or the FBI @ 1-800-Call-FBI.

Ivan Milat- The Murderer from Down Under Nov 16, 2023

Thank you to Sonya and Noel from the Evidence Locker Podcast for joining me to discuss the case of Ivan Milat, aka The Backpack Killer. You can check out their show wherever you get your favorite podcasts.

Ivan Milat was a road worker who killed seven backpackers in the Belanglo state forest in the early 1990s. Since his death, questions loom on how many other victims he is responsible for because he supposedly made his first kill in his 40s.

This leads investigators to believe there may have been victims as far back as the 1970s. Join me and the hosts from the Evidence Locker Podcast for part 2 of Ivan Milat, aka the Backpack Killer.

Presser of the Week: Maine Police Dodge Questions About Missed Red Flags Nov 03, 2023

POLICE MISSED THE CHANCE TO STOP THE MAINE MASS SHOOTER

Police across Maine were alerted just last month to “veiled threats” by the U.S. Army reservist who would go on to carry out the worst mass shooting in the state’s history, one of a string of missed red flags that preceded the massacre.

Two local law enforcement chiefs told The Associated Press that a statewide awareness alert was sent in mid-September to be on the lookout for Robert Card after the firearms instructor made threats against his base and fellow soldiers. But after stepped-up patrols of the base and a visit to Card’s home – neither of which turned up any sign of him – they moved on.

“We added extra patrols, we did that for about two weeks. ... The guy never showed up,” said Jack Clements, the police chief in Saco, home to the U.S. Army Reserve base where Card trained. - Associated Press

October 27, 2023, marks 34 years since 10-year-old Amy Renee Mihaljevic was abducted from the Bay Village Plaza in Bay Village, Ohio. Amy was lured to the plaza by a mysterious phone caller who called Amy at home and set up a time to go and buy her mom a gift for her new promotion at work.

The problem was there was no promotion, and this person didn't work with her mom. The city freaked out at the idea of a child being kidnapped from their quiet & safe suburb of Cleveland. I was Amy's age and grew up in the neighboring city.

We were inundated with Amy posters, Stranger Danger classes, and extra lessons on what to do when a stranger confronts you.

Presser of the Week: Charlotte Sena, FOUND SAFE! Oct 03, 2023

A 47-year-old man charged with kidnapping 9-year-old Charlotte Sena at an upstate New York park and allegedly holding her in the cabinet of a camper he lived in next to his mother's home has been identified by authorities.

Craig N. Ross Jr. is being held without bail Tuesday morning at the Saratoga County Correctional Facility on a charge of first-degree kidnapping, according to jail officials.

Charlotte was abducted from the Moreau Lake State Park in Saratoga County, New York, on Saturday evening, according to New York State Police. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said that she disappeared around dinnertime on Saturday while riding her bike in the campground alone.

The girl's family and other campers went looking for her, and her mother found her bike around 6:45 p.m. Saturday and called 911, police said. An Amber Alert was issued for the missing child Saturday night. An intense search involving up to 400 local, state, and federal law enforcement officers was conducted at the sprawling park.

NY Governor Kathy October 1, 2023 - Gansevoort, NY - Governor Hochul updated the search for Charlotte Sena in Saratoga County.

Andy Puopolo: An Interview with award winning author Jan Brogan Pt. 2 Sep 29, 2023

Jan Brogan has been a journalist for more than thirty years, working as a correspondent for the Boston Globe, a staff writer for the Worcester Telegram and the Providence Journal, where she won the Gerald Loeb award for distinguished business writing.

She is the award-winning author of four mysteries, Final Copy, Confidential Source, Yesterday’s Fatal, and Teaser. Transactional Pictures, (Steven Soderbergh and Philip Fleishman) purchased the rights to A Confidential Source, which is currently under development for a television series.

The Combat Zone is a true account of a brutal murder, two flawed trials and the not so delicate balance between justice and revenge. It tells the story of an annual Harvard ritual that sent forty football players into Boston’s crime-plagued red light district for a “last drink, together,” and the death of a heroic 21-year-old cornerback who tries to save a friend.

The Combat Zone shows how a murder trial isn’t always about the victim or the accused but about a city in turmoil and a criminal justice system in need of reform.

Shortlisted for a 2022 Anthony Award and a 2021 Agatha Award

Presser of the Week: Debbie Lynn Randall Solved Sep 22, 2023

On October 27th, 1989, Fifth-grader Amy Mihaljevic went to Bay Village Middle School on Friday wearing green pants, a lavender, and a green sweatshirt, and carrying a denim and red backpack.

Her body was discovered 106 days later in Ashland County and her death was ruled a homicide. Her case is the one I am the most passionate about because she was abducted about 3 miles from where I lived.

33+ years later the case is unsolved but there was a case this week that gives us hope. Cobb County police say DNA forensic testing has solved the 51-year-old cold case of the rape and murder of a Marietta third-grade girl.

On Jan. 13, 1972, police say 9-year-old Debbie Lynn Randall was abducted while she was walking home from a nearby laundromat in Marietta, raped, and murdered. Officials say for more than 50 years the case has haunted investigators, and detectives have investigated hundreds of leads to no avail, leaving the case cold.

Now detectives say genetic genealogy has provided some answers about who left the Randall family without their little girl.

We are thrilled when we see cases like Debbie-Lynn get solved because it means there is a chance Amy Mihaljevic's case can still be solved.

The Evangelist Family Sep 22, 2023

Was this revenge?

Was this the occult?

Who killed the Evangelist family?

"On the quiet summer evening of July 3, 1929, Benny Evangelist and his family were brutally murdered in their residential Detroit home on St. Aubin Street, mutilated by an axe-wielding killer. His wife and four children were butchered while sleeping in their beds, while Benny himself was killed—and nearly decapitated—in his study. Evangelist was known as a carpenter, faith healer and, most intriguingly, a cult leader and author of a self-published religious text, The Oldest History of the World: Discovered by Occult Science." - Via: https://the-line-up.com/benny-evangelist-murders

Marilyn Sheppard Press Coverage & F. Lee Bailey Interview Sep 15, 2023

In the early morning hours of July 4, 1954, Marilyn Sheppard was bludgeoned to death in her bed. Her husband Sam, a prominent Bay Village doctor, maintained that Marilyn was murdered by a bushy-haired intruder. He stood trial and was convicted for his wife’s murder amidst a media storm.

Harrison Ford's character in The Fugitive is roughly based on Sam Sheppard.

The media frenzy so tainted the case that the United States Supreme Court released him and ordered a retrial in the decision Sheppard v. Maxwell. At the 1966 retrial, Sheppard was acquitted. He died just a few years later.

Marilyn Sheppard w/ Nic of TCG Sep 15, 2023

Part 2: Thank you to Nic of the True Crime Garage Podcast for joining me to discuss one of Northeast Ohio's most infamous "unsolved" murder.

In the early morning hours of July 4, 1954, Marilyn Sheppard was bludgeoned to death in her bed. Her husband Sam, a prominent Bay Village doctor, maintained that Marilyn was murdered by a bushy-haired intruder. He stood trial and was convicted for his wife’s murder amidst a media storm.

The Academy Award-winning movie The Fugitive, starring Harrison Ford, was loosely based on Sam Sheppard.

The media frenzy so tainted the case that the United States Supreme Court released him and ordered a retrial in the decision Sheppard v. Maxwell. At the 1966 retrial, Sheppard was acquitted. He died just a few years later.

Who knew the KKK once ran Denver? Sep 08, 2023

History Colorado holds two Ku Klux Klan membership books for the Greater Denver area and beyond. The information inside them, which was collected for administrative purposes around 1924 through 1926, dates from the peak of the Klan's influence in Colorado. Together they have nearly 30,000 entries across more than 1,300 pages that record the names and other personal details, such as home and business addresses, of people affiliated with the KKK in metropolitan Denver and other areas. While the first 69 entries appear to be missing, the ledgers otherwise appear to be completely intact. -History Colorado

Presser of the Week: 16-year-old Stephen Lee Rodda Sep 07, 2023

That's when the suspect told the 16-year-old's grandfather, "I wouldn't go in there if I was you. I killed someone. You may need to call the police."

The grandfather told investigators that it wasn't uncommon for the suspect to say "bizarre" things, Sheriff Judd said. According to authorities, the suspect has a history of using methamphetamine and has had psychotic episodes previously.

Investigators said they arrested Stephan Thomas Rodda, 37, after he took off from the homicide scene and tried to leave Polk County.

From Slo Burn Media, Evergreen Podcasts & Killer Podcasts production comes episode #230 of Who Killed...?

In this week’s episode, we will be talking about the senseless murder of a teenager in Polk County Florida. I am highlighting this case because there was no need for this to occur and how callous these suspects are.

Another reason I am covering this case is because the Sheriff of Polk County gives lengthy and sometimes controversial press conferences.

Presser of the week: Jacksonville Race Murders Aug 31, 2023

Last weekend we saw another mass shooting hate crime in Jacksonville, Florida. The three victims were Angela Michelle Carr, 52; Anolt Joseph “AJ” Laguerre Jr., 19; and Jarrald De’Shaun Gallion, 29.

These are becoming all too common as the insidiousness continues to spread on social media, cable news, and many, many other outlets. You had the Walmart murders in El Paso, where a Texas man killed 23 people and injured 22 more. Then, The Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, where a 46-year-old truck driver shot and killed 11 people and wounded six Back to Florida where you had the Pulse Nightclub Shooting, in 2016. A gunman shot and killed 49 people and wounded 53 others at the gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida before police shot and killed him after a three-hour standoff.

In May 2022 an 18-year-old man killed 10 Black people at a Tops Friendly Markets grocery store in western New York. The gunman wrote a 180-page manifesto on racial purity before driving more than 240 miles (380 km) to Buffalo, a place where he expected to find Black people, police said.

While a few of these crimes I highlighted have occurred in Florida, the problem is everywhere.

Join me & host Justin Glanville as we dive into his latest podcast; Mary & Bill: An Ohio Cold Case.

In 1970, two university students who'd recently fallen in love were murdered in a Columbus apartment, in a crime so brutal it drew comparisons to the Manson murders of the previous year. Their names were Mary Petry and Bill Sproat, and the case has never been solved. In the new Ideastream Public Media true crime podcast "Mary & Bill: An Ohio Cold Case," reporter Justin Glanville, whose parents knew Bill Sproat, investigates the case alongside the victims' two sisters.

Throwback: Maggie Freleng on Gilgo Beach Murders Jul 21, 2023

With the BREAKING NEWS of an arrest in the Gilgo Beach Murders and being unable to get to my studio, here is the episode I did with TV/True Crime Personality Maggie Freleng about the case. I will have a BRAND NEW episode covering both this case and the injustice of Alissa Turney's case next Friday.

Suffolk County’s new police commissioner announced in February the creation of a special joint task force to solve the decade-old Gilgo Beach murders.

A new interagency task force including investigators from the FBI, as well as state and local police departments, will try to solve the decade-old mystery of human remains found strewn along a New York beach highway, officials announced Tuesday.

The formation of the Gilgo Beach task force represents a renewed commitment to investigating the unsolved killings of mostly young women whose skeletal remains were found along a highway on Long Island, Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison said.

“As I said on Day One as police commissioner, I believe this case is solvable and identifying the person or people responsible for these murders is a top priority,” Harrison, who took over the top job at the Suffolk County department last month, said in a news release.

The Dixie Mafia Jun 16, 2023

The Dixie Mafia was a very loose network of criminals who operated across the South in the 1960s and 1970s, and even into the 80s. They were dealing in drugs, gambling, prostitution, and MURDER. They weren't really a gang, just a bunch of dudes who hung out together and did some seriously shady stuff.

15-year-old Patty Desmond with author Maureen Boyle Jun 09, 2023

BRAND NEW EPISODE!

HER CASE HAD BEEN CLOSED—BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

On an unseasonably warm winter evening in Pennsylvania, 15-year-old Patty Desmond sneaked out through the basement of her house. She had a history of running away, and that, combined with an argument with her mother, gave police reason to suspect she’d come home in a week or two.

The year was 1965. That night was the last time her family ever saw her.

Conrad Eugene Miller was well-known to local law enforcement. An older married man with a child, Miller’s association with Patty was questionable at best. Yet he was the last person known to have seen her alive—and the suspect police continued to circle back toward.

After nothing but false sightings and rumors, the case was moved to the backburner—where it stayed. As decades crept by, reality sunk Patty Desmond was never coming back. Then, a tiny crack unleashed a flood of information, and a mystery that had never quite been forgotten was solved.

Pt 1 Alexa Bartell. & Pt 2 Joe Michael Ervin Apr 28, 2023

Multiple Suspects Arrested in Rock Spree Homicide

Part 1 Alexa Bartell: Overnight Tuesday, April 25 – Wednesday, April 26, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Investigators arrested three suspects in connection with the death of 20-year-old Alexa Bartell. Alexa was killed when a rock was thrown through her windshield as she was driving northbound in the 10600 block of Indiana Street at approximately 10:45 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19. Alexa’s vehicle was the last of a series of vehicles struck by large landscaping rocks in a spree that began shortly after 10:00 p.m. that night at 100th and Simms in Westminster.

Since then, JCSO investigators - with assistance from Westminster Police, Arvada Police, and the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office - worked around the clock to identify and arrest the suspects responsible for Alexa’s death. Joseph Koenig (DOB 9/11/04), Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik (DOB 10/17/04), and Zachary Kwak (DOB 3/18/05), all 18, were taken into custody at their homes in Arvada. - Jefferson County Sheriff

Part 2 Joe Michael Ervin: Last winter, police in Denver, Colorado, announced that they had solved the cold-case murders of four women who had died about 40 years ago, all of whom had been the victims of one man—a previously unknown serial killer named Joe Michael Ervin.

The story was chillingly real but sounded like a crime novel. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Ervin took the lives of four women who appeared to have nothing in common. -BJA

Marilee Burt Apr 21, 2023

Marilee Burt, 15, was last seen on Feb. 26, 1970. She was walking home from school and never came home. Her body was found in Deer Creek Canyon. No murderer has ever been found.

On a chilly winter evening, February 26, 1970, 15-year-old Marilee Burt finished cheerleading a basketball game at Goddard Middle School. Her home in Columbine Valley was a short distance away, so when her ride did not show up, Marilee began walking. Despite several independent witnesses seeing Marilee walk a route that included Berry Drive, Bowles Avenue and Middlefield Road, she never made it home. - Arapahoe County

Alfred Packer: America's First Hannibal the Cannibal? Mar 17, 2023

Who was Alfred Packer? Was he America's first Hannibal the Cannibal?

On February 9, 1874, Alferd Packer and five other men departed from the camp of Ute Chief Ouray, near what is now Montrose, Colorado. They were resuming a trek that had begun several months earlier in Provo, Utah, hoping to reach newly discovered gold prospects in Breckenridge, Colorado.

While the original party was considerably larger, only Packer (as guide) and Israel Swan, Shannon Wilson Bell, George Noon, James Humphrey, and Frank Miller dared risk the sometimes brutal Colorado winter in search of riches. And brutal it was, as not long after leaving the safety of Chief Ouray's camp, the group was engulfed in a furious blizzard near the present site of Lake City, Colorado.

Packer was next seen on April 16, 1874, straggling into the Los Pinos Indian Agency with little more than a rifle and a skinning knife belonging to members of his party. The story Packer told at that time was that, once the storm hit, he had set up camp while the others went forward in search of food. They never returned, and Packer subsequently headed out for Los Pinos. - https://www.museumtrail.org/alferd-packer

Joseph Paul Franklin- America's Racist Serial Killer Jan 27, 2023

On this week's episode we look into the horrible crimes committed by racist Joseph Paul Franklin. From 1977-1980, Franklin raged his very own race war as he traveled the country murdering at his discretion. This is truly one of the worst people I have ever researched.

A riveting, cautionary tale rooted in history that continues to echo today, The Killer's Shadow is a terrifying and essential exploration of the criminal personality in the vile grip of extremism and what happens when rage-filled speech evolves into deadly action and hatred of the “other" is allowed full reign. -The Killer's Shadow

The Sodder Family Christmas Mystery Dec 30, 2022

On this week’s episode we will take a look back to 19-45 when a mysterious fire broke out on Christmas Eve at the Sodder family home.

One of my main sources for this story comes from an article written in the New York Post from 1975, detailing the strange circumstances surrounding this fire.

The kids had received their presents earlier in the evening so they were excited and wanted to play with their toys.

The parents went to bed at 10:30 p.m.

Jennie began to smell smoke around 1:30 am and she realized it was filling the room. The house was on fire.

Stricken with fear all the Sodder’s could do was watch their house burn to the ground.

There was no sign of the five children; they were not outside and efforts to spot them through the windows of the blazing house failed. Authorities decided that the five children perished in the blaze. Yet no remains, no bones, no trace of human tissue, were found in the ruins...

The case remains unsolved...

THE CASE:

On November 20, 2006 the four victims were found in the drainage ditch behind the Golden Key Motel in West Atlantic City (Egg Harbor Township). The drainage ditch contains fresh water run-off and is also tidal measuring five feet deep and ten feet across. It runs parallel with Route 322.

The bodies were recovered during the evening hours and the scene remained secured until daybreak on November 21, 2006.

The area from which the bodies were recovered was searched east to the bridge and west for approximately one mile between Route 322 and the Atlantic City Expressway.

All four bodies were identified: Kim Raffo, Molly Dilts, Barbara Breidor and Tracy Roberts; and families contacted within a week’s time.

Jay Orbin w/ Author Kerrie Droban *BRAND NEW * Dec 16, 2022

Jay Orbin was allegedly murdered by his ex-wife Marjorie Orbin, join me and her attorney as we discuss her case.

This week's guest is author and criminal defense attorney Kerrie Droban. She believes she has evidence to help her client Marjorie Orbin who has been locked up for 18 years. Join us as we discuss this wild and infuriating case.

Marjorie Ann Orbin murdered her husband Jay Orbin in Phoenix, Arizona on or about September 8, 2004 - which would have been his 45th birthday. Orbin was a jewellery dealer. In September 2004 he returned home to Phoenix from a long road trip to Florida. Police believe he arrived at his home on September 8, based on his cell phone and credit card records. He was never seen alive again.

Marjorie Ann Orbin was convicted of the murder in 2009 after a trial lasting eight months. Marjorie Orbin was a 47 year old former Las Vegas showgirl.

According to officials, when Jay Orbin returned home from a business trip, investigators believe his wife shot and killed him, then dismembered his body in an attempt to keep the affairs a secret and inherit Jay's money. Jay's body wasn't found until several weeks later, when his torso was found on October 23 in a plastic container on the outskirts of Phoenix. The rest of his body was never found.

On October 1, 2009, Orbin was sentenced to life imprisonment by an Arizona court. - AZ.gov

Eastbound Strangler 3 with Nic of TCG Dec 15, 2022

From Atlantic City Prosecutor's Office: "Prosecutor Tyner said law enforcement needs the public’s help as the investigation continues 12 years later.

“Somebody knows something about this case. Somebody has to know something,” Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon G. Tyner says of the discovery on Nov. 20, 2006, of the bodies of Kim Raffo, Molly Dilts, Barbara Breidor and Tracy Roberts that were dumped in a drainage ditch in West Atlantic City.

“At the end of the day, Kim Raffo, Molly Dilts, Barbara Breidor and Tracy Roberts were someone’s mother, daughter, sister, and wife. And I shudder to characterize them as four prostitutes whose bodies were found because it’s not about that. Instead, I say these were four women who were found dead in West Atlantic City on Nov. 20, 2006. They will not be forgotten,” Prosecutor Tyner said."

The City of Moscow Police Department is providing the following information to update the public on the known facts surrounding the four murders that occurred on November 13th in Moscow, Idaho.

On the evening of November 12th, Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen were at a local bar called The Corner Club at 202 N.

BREAKING NEWS...THIS DEATH HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY RULED A HOMICIDE!

On this week’s episode we are going to look into one of the most mysterious deaths in Cleveland in the last decade, the death of 22 year old Corey Barron of Fremont, Ohio.

The day started off with high expectations as Corey and his friends were heading to a country music concert featuring Jason Aldean.

It was meant to be a night of fun with friends and a few cocktails.

Unfortunately for Corey and his friends the night would forever be remembered for what happened during the concert, and the fact that Corey never returned after leaving his section.

If you know anything about this incident, you are asked to call crime stoppers at 216.252.7463 or the Cleveland Police homicide unit at 216.623.5464.

James Carroll: An Interview with Author David Domine Nov 11, 2022

On June 18, 2010, police discover a body buried in the wine cellar of a Victorian mansion in Old Louisville. James Carroll, shot and stabbed the year before, has lain for 7 months in a plastic storage bin—his temporary coffin. Homeowner Jeffrey Mundt and his boyfriend, Joseph Banis, point the finger at each other in what locals dub The Pink Triangle Murder.

On the surface, this killing appears to be a crime of passion, a sordid love tryst gone wrong in a creepy old house. But as author David Dominé sits in on the trials, a deeper story emerges: the struggle between hope for a better future on the one hand and the privilege and power of the status quo on the other.

As the court testimony devolves into he-said/he-said contradictions, David draws on the confidences of neighbors, drag queens, and other acquaintances within the city's vibrant LGBTQ community to piece together the details of the case. While uncovering the many past lives of the mansion itself, he enters a murky underworld of gossip, neighborhood scandal, and intrigue. -

Conclusion of Unsealed: The Tylenol Murders w/ Hosts Christy Gutowski & Stacy St. Clair Nov 04, 2022

In 1982, the nation was living in fear. One by one people in the Chicago area were dying. No one knew why — or who would be next. Law enforcement mobilized to answer the what, who and why. The what was Tylenol, laced with cyanide, placed randomly on store shelves to kill unsuspecting victims. But the who and the why? That would elude investigators for decades.

If you think you know the story of the Tylenol Murders, think again. Award-winning Chicago Tribune investigative reporters Christy Gutowski and Stacy St. Clair uncover new and critical clues in law enforcement’s latest — and possibly last — attempt at closing one of the nation's most infamous unsolved cases. - Unsealed: The Tylenol Murders

Delphi Murder Arrest, ISP Update Press Conference 10/31/2022 Oct 31, 2022

Here is today's press conference announcing the arrest of Richard Allen in connection to the deaths of Libby German & Abigail Williams. Today is the day these families have been waiting for since 2017.

On Monday, February 13th, at approximately 1:00 p.m., the two young girls were let off near the Monon High Bridge, an abandoned rail bridge over Deer Creek to walk around and hang out. They were to be picked up later in the afternoon, but did not show up there at the previously arranged time. Following an extensive search, at approximately 12:15 p.m. on February 14, 2017, the bodies of the two girls were found in a wooded area near the Delphi Historic Trail, approximately one-half mile upstream from the bridge.

On Wednesday, February 15th, law enforcement officers distributed a photograph of a person observed on the Delphi Historic Trail. The photograph appears to depict a white male wearing blue jeans, a blue coat/jacket, and a hoodie. During the course of the investigation, preliminary evidence has led investigators to believe the person, in the distributed photograph, is a suspect in the investigation of the homicides of Abigail Williams and Liberty German.

Indiana State Police have arrested a man in connection to the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German in Delphi.

The announcement came Monday morning that officials have taken 50-year-old Richard Allen of Delphi into custody for the murders of the two teens five and a half years ago.

Police say Allen was arrested on Wednesday and later charged with two counts of murder.

Allen has been transported to the White County Jail and is being held without bond.

Ross Ulbricht & The Silk Road: With Justin of Generation Why Oct 14, 2022

Using the online moniker “Dread Pirate Roberts,” or “DPR,” ULBRICHT controlled and oversaw every aspect of Silk Road, and managed a staff of paid, online administrators and computer programmers who assisted with the day-to-day operation of the site. Through his ownership and operation of Silk Road, ULBRICHT reaped commissions worth more than $13 million generated from the illicit sales conducted through the site. ULBRICHT also demonstrated a willingness to use violence to protect his criminal enterprise and the anonymity of its users, soliciting six murders-for-hire in connection with operating the site, although there is no evidence that these murders were actually carried out. -FBI.gov

The Sherri Papini Hoax Sep 23, 2022

Sherri Papini was found alive on Thanksgiving morning, three weeks after her alleged abduction. Although the circumstances surrounding the 34-year-old mother's disappearance and return are unusual, Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko said he has "no reason to disbelieve" the California woman's story. - Inquisitir

Papini was reported missing after she went out for a jog near her Shasta County home in Northern California. Three weeks later, she was found injured and alone on a highway about 140 miles away. She told police she had been abducted and tortured by two masked, Spanish-speaking women who kept her chained in a closet, held her at gunpoint and branded her with a heated tool.

The accusations led authorities to carry out an extensive search for the supposed Hispanic captors that came up empty for several years. She also received more than $30,000 from the state in victim compensation funds. -CNN

It was August 6, 1988, when 22-year-old Jane Boroski, seven months pregnant, was one her way back from a county fair in Keene, New Hampshire. She decided to stop at a convenience store in West Swanzey to buy a drink but it was closed. So she got something from a vending machine. When Ms. Boroski got back to her car she noticed a Jeep Wagoneer had parked next to her. As terrifying as this must have been she then saw through her rear-view mirror, the driver of the vehicle walking around the back of her vehicle...I'll let Jane tell the rest her story.

Chief of Police Gregory Adams was shot and killed while making a traffic stop in the parking lot of the Agway Feed Store. Chief Adams was on Water Street when the suspect sped past a stop sign. Chief Adams pursued the man and caught up with him when the man attempted to turn around in a supermarket parking lot.

Honey & Barry Sherman w/ Nic of TCG Aug 12, 2022

Toronto police say a private investigation into the slayings two years ago of billionaire couple Barry and Honey Sherman has ended, but their own probe continues — and they want people who sent tips to the private tipline to repeat them now directly to police.

To that end, police have set up a telephone tipline and email address, Insp. Hank Idsinga told a media briefing Monday.

The Sherman family had hired a team of private investigators to conduct an independent probe. It included several former Toronto homicide detectives.

While Idsinga said the private team received 343 tips — information that was shared with police — it has now wrapped its work on the case, he said, citing the Sherman family.

Idsinga asked that anyone who submitted those private tips now resubmit them to Toronto police to avoid any loss of information. - CBC

Investigators said Barry and Honey were found dead in the lower-level pool area, reportedly hanging by belts from a railing on the pool deck and wearing their clothing. A post-mortem examination determined the Shermans died of “ligature neck compression.” It was also determined that the couple likely died two days before they were found on Dec. 13, 2017. - GlobalNewsCa

Police have also set up a direct email address for the case. Tips can be provided at shermantips@torontopolice.on.ca or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477.

Molly Bish w/ Nic of TCG Aug 05, 2022

Molly, the youngest of three siblings, was 16 when she was killed. An honor roll student, Molly had just completed her junior year of high school. She played soccer, basketball and softball. Funny and social, Molly loved everyone. She was a blend of “Lucy” and “Forest Gump.”

Just eight days after beginning her new job as a lifeguard at Cummins Pond, Molly was abducted. After three years of fear and the unknown, her bathing suit was found in a wooded area five miles away from the pond. In the weeks that followed, her remains were found and she came home bone-by-bone. Molly was laid to rest on her birthday, August 2, 2003. - Mass.gov

Anyone with information on Molly's case is urged to call the anonymous tip line at 508-453-7575.

Larry DeWayne Hall & Black Bird Jul 29, 2022

Black Bird on Apple TV+ tells the true story of serial killer Larry DeWayne Hall and convicted drug dealer Jimmy Keene. This is my new favorite show since Mindhunter and it is remarkably accurate.

Black Bird is based on the book I'm With the Devil: A Fallen Hero, A Serial Killer, and A Dangerous Bargain for Redemption by James Keene. Yes, it's the same James Keene. The series is absolutely based on this book, which is a true story. It's easy to see why people would question its validity, because this tale is stranger than fiction. - Distractify

Conclusion of Colonial Parkway Murders (NEW) Jul 08, 2022

Some important facts to know about the Colonial Parkway if you have never had the pleasure of driving it yourself or experiencing it on a class trip.

According to the National Park Service https://www.nps.gov/colo/parkway.htm

The Colonial Parkway is a twenty-three mile scenic roadway stretching from the York River at Yorktown to the James River at Jamestown.
The road does it best to remind drivers of days past as the parkway does not allow semi trucks and is toll-free.
As you meander though the parkway you are graced with beautiful views of the James and York rivers that run along the parkway.
According to Triple A "redbuds and dogwoods decorate the roadway in spring, while fall brings an explosion of autumn colors”
From an article in the Daily Press in 1990, the parkway is no place to be after dark ”At night, the mood changes. The trees form a tunnel of blackness, broken only if the moon is shining. There are no streetlights, no call boxes and no fast-food restaurants or convenience stores where a driver might find refuge in case of a breakdown”.
The parkway is under the rangers' jurisdiction because it is federal land owned by the National Park Service
When a serious crime is committed, the York County Sheriff's Department, the Williamsburg or James City police departments are called to assist, Neprash said.
The parkway is federal land, the FBI may also become involved in investigations.
Crimemuseum.org says, "police have questioned 150 suspects in connection to these four cases, but all have been cleared.
The police attribute these eight murders to the same killer because of similarities in each case.
All of the victims were killed at or near their car, the first three being found at known lover’s lane areas.
None of the victims were robbed, and sexual assault did not appear to be a motive in any of the cases.
The first and third murders were mere miles apart, and the second and fourth were committed about a half hour away from the Parkway.
In 2018, the Facebook page Colonial Parkway Murders, which is run by Cathy’s brother Bill Thomas, and today's guest revealed that DNA had been found at 3 of the 4 crime scenes which could potentially conclusively link the cases and lead to an arrest. Hair that had been found in Cathy’s hand and a biological sample found on Robin have never been tested
The First couple to fall victim Cathy Thomas and Rebecca Dowski

Cathleen Thomas, 27, Class of 1981 graduate United States Naval Academy and College of William & Mary senior Rebecca Ann Dowski, 21. On October 12, 1986, Columbus Day weekend, their bodies were found inside Thomas' white 1980 Honda Civic at the Cheatham Annex Overlook

Bill Thomas is BACK! Jun 24, 2022

Some important facts to know about the Colonial Parkway if you have never had the pleasure of driving it yourself or experiencing it on a class trip.

According to the National Park Service https://www.nps.gov/colo/parkway.htm

The Colonial Parkway is a twenty-three mile scenic roadway stretching from the York River at Yorktown to the James River at Jamestown.
The road does it best to remind drivers of days past as the parkway does not allow semi trucks and is toll-free.
As you meander though the parkway you are graced with beautiful views of the James and York rivers that run along the parkway.
According to Triple A "redbuds and dogwoods decorate the roadway in spring, while fall brings an explosion of autumn colors”
From an article in the Daily Press in 1990, the parkway is no place to be after dark ”At night, the mood changes. The trees form a tunnel of blackness, broken only if the moon is shining. There are no streetlights, no call boxes and no fast-food restaurants or convenience stores where a driver might find refuge in case of a breakdown”.
The parkway is under the rangers' jurisdiction because it is federal land owned by the National Park Service
When a serious crime is committed, the York County Sheriff's Department, the Williamsburg or James City police departments are called to assist, Neprash said.
The parkway is federal land, the FBI may also become involved in investigations.
Crimemuseum.org says, "police have questioned 150 suspects in connection to these four cases, but all have been cleared.
The police attribute these eight murders to the same killer because of similarities in each case.
All of the victims were killed at or near their car, the first three being found at known lover’s lane areas.
None of the victims were robbed, and sexual assault did not appear to be a motive in any of the cases.
The first and third murders were mere miles apart, and the second and fourth were committed about a half hour away from the Parkway.
In 2018, the Facebook page Colonial Parkway Murders, which is run by Cathy’s brother Bill Thomas, and today's guest revealed that DNA had been found at 3 of the 4 crime scenes which could potentially conclusively link the cases and lead to an arrest. Hair that had been found in Cathy’s hand and a biological sample found on Robin have never been tested

Interview w/ Author Kathryn Miles of Trailed Jun 03, 2022

This week, I was lucky to have author Kathryn Miles on the show. She has written a great new true crime book; Trailed: One Woman's Quest to Solve the Shenandoah Murders.

We have a wide ranging conversation about law enforcement, the keys to this case, and where do thing stands now? If you enjoy a guest who is well researched then this is a must listen.

In May 1996, two skilled backcountry leaders, Lollie Winans and Julie Williams, entered Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park for a week-long backcountry camping trip. The free-spirited and remarkable young couple had met and fallen in love the previous summer while working at a world-renowned outdoor program for women. During their final days in the park, they descended the narrow remnants of a trail and pitched their tent in a hidden spot.

After the pair didn’t return home as planned, park rangers found a scene of horror at their campsite, their tent slashed open, their beloved dog missing, and both women dead in their sleeping bags. The unsolved murders of Winans and Williams continue to haunt all who had encountered them or knew their story. - Workman Publishing

Bombings on US Soil May 27, 2022

I hope everyone is doing well this week after yet another school shooting killed 19 kids.

I’m not going to get into specifics but I do think it is important to acknowledge the loss that has taken place. This comes 10 days after 10 people were killed in a mass shooting in Buffalo. This isn’t good, and it appears we are all too comfortable with seeing this crap on the news.

Just to give you some perspective this was the 27th school shooting so far this year...

To keep things as light as possible, this week we will focus on a few bombings on US soil and their impacts.

Flashback, Amy Mihaljevic Apr 29, 2022

On October 27, 1989, 10 year-old Amy Mihaljevic, a fifth grader from Bay Village Middle School, was abducted from here all american town.

Bay Village is a suburb about 10 miles west of Cleveland. Bay Village is nestled on the lakefront of Lake Erie and has a median income of just over $100,000 and houses sell on average for close to $200,000- $3,000,000. Bay Village is a quiet community that loves to participate in city activities such as soccer, the annual Bay Day Run and of course the Bay Day’s traveling carnival that makes Cahoon Park its home for three days over every Fourth of July.

To put it simply it is a great place to live because it is true community, one that looks out for other neighbors’ kids and where you will see people out walking and running almost everywhere you look. That is why this case could be considered one of the most audacious crimes I have ever come across; how did this tight knit community become the center of one of true crimes greatest mysteries, who killed Amy Mihaljevic?

Long Island Serial Killer w/ Maggie Freleng Part 2 Apr 15, 2022

Former Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke, who previously led the investigation on the case, had cut ties with the federal investigators during the serial killer probe. Burke, who has been accused of mishandling the case, later served a 46-month federal prison sentence after pleading guilty to beating up a handcuffed suspect who had stolen a gym bag from his SUV in a separate case.

"The Suffolk County Sheriff's Office has a dedicated Human Trafficking Unit, which has been operating inside the jail for the last three and a half years," Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon, Jr., stated on Tuesday. "This unit has obtained valuable information and leads that we hope to share with our partner agencies to help solve this case and bring justice to these victims."

Harrison, who was just confirmed as the new police commissioner for Suffolk County in December, announced on New Year’s Eve that the department is in “a great place to solve” the case, citing new leads. He stated at a press conference that he is “making a commitment to the residents of Suffolk County as well as the family members.” - Oxygen

Long Island Serial Killer w/ Maggie Freleng Apr 12, 2022

Suffolk County’s new police commissioner announced in February the creation of a special joint task force to solve the decade-old Gilgo Beach murders.

A new interagency task force including investigators from the FBI, as well as state and local police departments, will try to solve the decade-old mystery of human remains found strewn along a New York beach highway, officials announced Tuesday.

The formation of the Gilgo Beach task force represents a renewed commitment to investigating the unsolved killings of mostly young women whose skeletal remains were found along a highway on Long Island, Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison said.

“As I said on Day One as police commissioner, I believe this case is solvable and identifying the person or people responsible for these murders is a top priority,” Harrison, who took over the top job at the Suffolk County department last month, said in a news release.

John Wayne Gacy w/ Nic from True Crime Garage Part 2 Apr 01, 2022

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.

n 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

Jeffrey Dahmer Part 2 Mar 18, 2022

Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer (/ˈdɑːmər/; May 21, 1960 – November 28, 1994), also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was an American serial killer and sex offender who committed the murder and dismemberment of seventeen men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Many of his later murders involved necrophilia,[1] cannibalism, and the permanent preservation of body parts—typically all or part of the skeleton.[2] - Wikipedia

Two Milwaukee police officers were flagged down by an agitated man with handcuffs attached at one wrist. Tracey Edwards, 32, told the officers a “freak” had placed the handcuffs on him and that he had spent the better part of the evening trying to escape from a nearby apartment where he was being held captive.

Maura Murray: With Tim & Lance of Crawlspace Mar 04, 2022

On Monday, February 9, 2004, at approximately 7:30 p.m., a black-colored Saturn 4-door sedan vehicle, belonging to 21-year-old Maura Murray, traveled off Route 112 in Haverhill, New Hampshire, and became stuck. The roads in that area of northern New Hampshire were snow-covered at the time. Murray was not present at the crash scene when police arrived and has not been seen nor heard from since. Murray was last seen on surveillance footage earlier in the day at an ATM wearing a dark jacket and jeans.

Prior to that, Murray had left the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she was studying nursing. Murray did not share with others her pending trip to New Hampshire, which was about 2.5 hours away. Murray received prior education at the United States Military Academy at West Point, was an avid runner, and enjoyed hiking in the White Mountains. - FBI.gov

Stella Nickell & The Seattle Excedrin Murders Feb 25, 2022

Last week I delved into the case of the Chicago Tylenol murders from 1982 and how that event changed everything when it came to how we purchase over the counter medication.

I mentioned one particular copycat case that occurred a few years after Chicago murders and I would like to use this week’s episode to go a bit deeper into the killer, Stella Nickell and her convoluted plan that caused 2 murders.

Wall Street Bombing of 1920 Feb 11, 2022

The final ring of the church bells was still hanging in the air at 12:01, when the 100 pounds of dynamite concealed in the wagon detonated with an ear-splitting roar. “That was the loudest noise I ever heard in my life,” J.P. Morgan employee Andrew Dunn later remembered. “It was enough to knock you out by itself.” - Histoy.com

Corey Barron Feb 04, 2022

On this week’s episode we are going to look into one of the most mysterious deaths in Cleveland in the last decade, the death of 22 year old Corey Barron of Fremont, Ohio.

The day started off with high expectations as Corey and his friends were heading to a country music concert featuring Jason Aldean.

They were headed to Progressive Field, where the Cleveland Indian’s play.

It was meant to be a night of fun with friends and a few cocktails.

Unfortunately for Corey and his friends the night would forever be remembered for what happened during the concert, and the fact that Corey never returned after leaving his section.

Marshall/Boulder County Fire: Too Close for Comfort Jan 07, 2022

On December 30, 2021, a fire in Boulder County fueled by hurricane force winds destroyed more than 1,000 homes and the investigation is underway. Coincidentally, I found myself in the middle of the fire, that will forever be remembered as the Marshall Fire, with my buddy Rob. All we were doing was trying retrieve his truck from Park and Ride in Superior and somehow ended up in an historic wildfire.

Authorities are now investigating the cause since the electric company has said they didn't lose any power lines in the high winds. Some investigators say they know the point of origin.

We were lucky to have fast acting authorities who rerouted traffic and I am confident they saved many lives. This episode is our experience with the fire. If you can help support the victims I will provide some links below.

For all of the videos I recorded that day, please visit my YouTube Channel, Slo Burn Media Podcasts.

JonBenet Ramsey: With Special Guest, The Captain of True Crime Garage (2/2) Dec 31, 2021

(2/2) The Captain, co-host of the True Crime Garage Podcast, joins Who Killed...? to talk one of the most infamous unsolved Christmas murders of all time, 6 year-old JonBenet Ramsey.

Statement on the 25th Anniversary of the JonBenet Ramsey Murder

As of December 2021, the Boulder Police Department has processed more than 1,500 pieces of evidence related to the murder of JonBenet Ramsey.

JonBenet was 6 years old when she was reported missing on Dec. 26, 1996, after her family reported finding a ransom note inside their home in the 700 block of 15th Street. Her body was found in a basement room, and a later autopsy revealed that the cause of her death was strangulation.

As of December 2021, that evidence has included the analysis of nearly 1,000 DNA samples.

The BPD Major Crimes Unit has received, reviewed or investigated more than 21,016 tips, letters and emails and detectives have traveled to 19 states to interview or speak with more than 1,000 individuals in connection to this crime.

Thanks to the huge advances in DNA technology, multiple suspects have been run through the system to check for matches. CBI has updated over 750 reference samples with the latest DNA technology. The Boulder Police Department works closely with CBI on future DNA advancements.

Additionally, Boulder Police have worked with CBI to ensure the DNA in the system can be compared correctly to new DNA samples that have been uploaded to ensure accuracy.

That DNA is checked regularly for any new matches.

As the Department continues to use new technology to enhance the investigation, it is actively reviewing genetic DNA testing processes to see if those can be applied to this case moving forward.

Anyone with information related to this investigation is asked to contact our tipline at 303-441-1974, BouldersMostWanted@bouldercolorado.gov or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477) or www.nococrimestoppers.com

Dayton's Christmas Spree Killing- 1992 Dec 17, 2021

The Associated Press DAYTON - Misguided friendship, a bad childhood or peer pressure may have motivated four people charged in a killing spree that left five people dead.

It was more than a simple lust for killing that provoked the 40-hour shooting spree that also left three people injured, three mental health specialists said

Delphi Murder Update: With Nic from True Crime Garage Dec 10, 2021

Nic from the True Crime Garage Podcast joins me this week to make heads and tails of the new information out of Delphi. We work through the police statement and what it all means. While we both agree this is a significant move in the investigation but we do our best not to speculate. Again, this case will be solved by someone who knows something.

The Delphi Police Department, the Carroll County Sheriff, the Indiana State Police, and the FBI are asking for your assistance in identifying the suspect in the double homicide of two teenage girls, Abigail J. "Abby" Williams, 13, and Liberty Rose Lynn "Libby" German, 14, both from Delphi.

In Monday’s press conference, authorities turned to the public in hopes of gleaning more information about the phony profile creator, known as a catfish, who went by the name “anthony_shots” on social media between 2016 and 2017.

Police released photos of a male model used by the suspect, emphasizing that they were in contact with the model, who is not a person of interest in their investigation.

“The fictitious anthony_shots profile used images of a known male model and portrayed himself as being extremely wealthy and owning numerous sports cars,” said Public Information Officer Sgt. Jeremy Piers. “The creator of the fictitious profile used this information while communicating with juvenile females to solicit nude images, obtain their addresses, and attempt to meet them.”

On Monday, February 13th, 2017, at approximately 1:00 p.m., the two young girls were let off near the Monon High Bridge, an abandoned rail bridge over Deer Creek to walk around and hang out. They were to be picked up later in the afternoon, but did not show up there at the previously arranged time. Following an extensive search, at approximately 12:15 p.m. on February 14, 2017, the bodies of the two girls were found in a wooded area near the Delphi Historic Trail, approximately one-half mile upstream from the bridge.

The Kirtland Cult Killings: Part II Nov 19, 2021

Kirtland is located in Lake County and only a 25 minute drive east of Cleveland the small town became a national story in January 1990. After moving to town, Lundgren became a lay minister in Kirtland for the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

On the night of May 23rd, 1978, Judy Martins went out with friends for a little fun. Memorial Day Weekend was on the horizon and she had plans to go out of town with her friends.

Police say she left her friends dorm at Kent State University to walk a short distance to her dormitory. This would be the last time she would be seen again. She wouldn't be reported missing for more than a day since she lived alone. The case never seemed to materialize and eventually went cold.

Unfortunately, Judy's parents have passed away and this case remains unsolved to this day. Her brother and sister would like to see this case resolved and believes it can be done.

Michelle Martinko: SOLVED! Oct 22, 2021

Thank you to this week's sponsor Best Fiends. Download today at the Apple App store or Google Play.

While at Westdale she spoke with friends and was last seen at a jewelry store around 9 pm. Little did her friends know this would be the last time they’d see Michelle alive.

In 2006, a cold case investigator discovered unidentified blood, presumably belonging to the killer, while he was reviewing case files. A DNA profile was developed from evidence and was entered into CODIS, without any luck.

It would be another decade plus before the Martinko family would have answers.

Beth Bramlett, SOLVED! Oct 15, 2021

On Saturday August 8, 1982 Beth Bramlett, a 17 year old white female, went to a party at Trading House Lake Reservoir with some of her friends. A fight broke out at the party and Beth decided to leave. That was the last time any of her friends saw Beth alive.

At the crime scene, he said, Bramlett’s body was laid across the tracks, face down, and didn’t appear to have been brutalized, but when investigators turned her over, it appeared someone had chewed or gnawed, maybe even eaten a part of her body.

Joshua Harmon- SOLVED! Aug 20, 2021

On this week’s show I want to take you back to the spring of 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia.

The city was still recovering from the Atlanta Child Murders from 1981 and when the news hit the wire 8-year-old Joshua Harmon was missing everyone held their collective breath and hoped this wasn’t the beginning of another string of killings.

Joshua Harmon's body was found 2 days after he disappeared on May 15, 1988. His family has waited 33 years for the answers they now have today.

Familial DNA: The Ultimate Crime Fighter Jul 30, 2021

Familial DNA Strikes Again!

According to the Great Falls Tribune, on Jan. 3, 1956, three boys hiking along Sun River near Wadsworth Park discovered Loyd Duane Bogle, 18, dead near his car. A day later, a county road worker found Patricia Kalitzke's body on Vineyard Road north of Great Falls.

Both had been shot in the head.

Bogle's hands were bound behind his back with his own belt. His valuables and money were not stolen, and his car was on and in gear with the emergency brake deployed when his body was found.

Kalitzke was born in Great Falls and was a junior at Great Falls High School when she was killed. Bogle was a Malmstrom Air Force Base Airman from Waco, Texas.

TONY MUNCY UPDATE: Nic from True Crime Garage is back as a guest to discuss the latest UPDATE in the Tony Muncy case. You can listen to their premium episode HERE.

“Tony” Muncy (15) was last seen on October 15, 1983 in the evening hours at the York Plaza Movie Theatre in Columbus. On October 16, 1983, his dismembered body was found on South Galena Road, Galena, Delaware County, Ohio.Cause of death: multiple stab wounds in the back. All extremities were either partly or completely severed from his torso. His severed arms seemed cut at the elbows. His legs and his head were partly severed.The Delaware County Sheriff’s Report states that Deputy J. Loudermilk was called to South Galena Road to meet a man who found what appeared to be a body. I have not been able to find out if this man was cleared as a suspect.The body was between Golf Course Road and Alexander Road east of the bridge. Deputy Loudermilk found Muncy lying beside the road inside four black trash bags. The body was all cut up. The Deputy immediately called for backup while he held the scene."It is important to keep our brains stimulated during this lockdown and social distancing has forced us all to become binge viewers, listeners or readers.

From the Officer Down Memorial Page:

GREGORY BLAISE ADAMS

Chief of Police Gregory Adams was shot and killed while making a traffic stop in the parking lot of the Agway Feed Store. Chief Adams was on Water Street when the suspect sped past a stop sign. Chief Adams pursued the man and caught up with him when the man attempted to turn around in a supermarket parking lot.

This decision would scar the Adams' family and the town of Saxonburg forever.

The St. Aubin Street Massacre Apr 30, 2021

Via: https://the-line-up.com/benny-evangelist-murders "On the quiet summer evening of July 3, 1929, Benny Evangelist and his family were brutally murdered in their residential Detroit home on St. Aubin Street, mutilated by an axe-wielding killer. His wife and four children were butchered while sleeping in their beds, while Benny himself was killed—and nearly decapitated—in his study. Evangelist was known as a carpenter, faith healer and, most intriguingly, a cult leader and author of a self-published religious text, The Oldest History of the World: Discovered by Occult Science."

Was this revenge?

Was this the occult?

Who killed the Evangelist family?

Tammy Zywicki, August 23, 1992 Apr 16, 2021

Source: FBI.gov

On August 23, 1992, Tammy J. Zywicki departed Evanston, Illinois, for college in Grinnell, Iowa, where she was expected to arrive that evening. Later that day, Zywicki's car was found by an Illinois State Trooper and ticketed as being abandoned. On August 24, 1992, the vehicle was towed by the Illinois State Police. On that same evening, Zywicki's mother contacted the Illinois State Police and advised them that her daughter had not arrived at college.

On September 1, 1992, Zywicki's body was located along Interstate Highway 44 (I-44) in rural Lawrence County, Missouri, which is located between Springfield and Joplin, Missouri. She had been stabbed to death.

Zywicki was reportedly last seen with her car (shown above) at mile marker 83 on I-80 in Central Illinois, between 3:10 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on August 23, 1992. It was also reported that a tractor/trailer was seen near Zywicki's vehicle during this time period. The driver of the tractor/trailer is described as a white male between 35 and 40 years of age, over six feet tall, with dark, bushy hair.

Some of the victim's personal property is known to be missing, including a Cannon 35mm camera and a musical wrist watch. The watch is Lorus brand, with a green umbrella on its face and a green band. The watch plays the tune "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head."

Author Maureen Boyle on The Women of New Bedford, Mass. Apr 02, 2021

From https://shallowgravesthebook.com/:

The women were dead before anyone realized they were gone.

It was 1988, before the opiate epidemic of the 2000s, before families openly talked about heroin addicts, before there was a public face to the addiction. At the time, as many still do today, young women in the throes of addiction turned to street hustles to find money for drugs. They would write bad checks, shoplift and some, as the addiction worsened, turned to conning men into giving them money. Some turned to prostitution. The addicts lived on the outer edges. In a small city like New Bedford, people recognized them on the street. Many knew their families. New Bedford is a tight knit city with large, close families. It is also a fishing community where people know death can come unexpectedly on the seas. But no one expected what happened in 1988.

Eleven women went missing that year. Nine were later found dead along local highways surrounding the city. It is officially unsolved. I was a reporter at the Standard-Times of New Bedford, Massachusetts, at the time. I knew some of the women who were on the streets at the time, struggling with addictions. They were good people. Some of them are still alive, finally kicking their habits. Many are now dead. Some of AIDS, some from overdoses, a few from natural causes. Some of the women got clean before they died, giving their families – and children – the gift of knowing their true spirit.

I have been haunted by the story of these dead women for years. Their families have lived with the pain each day.

No one should get away with murder. Shallow Graves: The Hunt for the New Bedford Highway Serial Killer (ForeEdge) tells the story of the investigation through the eyes of the investigators and some of the families. We hope someone will finally end that hunt.

New Bedford Highway Killer Mar 26, 2021

Source: Toronto Sun "Thirteen months was how long his reign of terror lasted.

The tally was 11 dead women, all snatched off the streets of hardscrabble fishing town New Bedford, Massachusetts. More women were raped.

And then the murders suddenly stopped.

Between March 1988 and April 1989, a serial killer was preying on the city of 95,000 sex workers, nearly all of whom struggled with drug addiction."
