Death Investigator Mar 27, 2022

Show notes

On this episode, friend of the podcast Landen Wilson joins me to talk about being a Death Investigator. He is a former Death Investigator for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and performed many autopsies during his tenure.
We also go over the unsolved murder case of Russell and Shirley Dermond, and Landen has a unique connection to the case that most people don't. He actually saw their bodies.
His personal story about an incident that ultimately led to his resignation from the GBI can be heard on both Murder Was the Case, and Ignorance Was Bliss:

In honor of my favorite holiday, I have a fictional horror story written by EF Benson, and published in 1912. Enjoy.
A new true story is in the works, and I should have the writing finished soon. Keep an eye out for that.

My Friend Murdered Paul Brown Jun 29, 2021

Show notes

I'm not dead yet! ....I will be one day, but this isn't that day! I have posted about where I've been on both Twitter, and in the Facebook group, so if you want to interact directly with me, or get any news I might have, those are the best places to find it.
This is a short true crime story I wrote a while back that I was personally involved in. The Murder of Paul Brown in Hamilton Ohio. I've pulled it from Patreon exclusivity, and I give to you all. It's...intimate, and very real, especially to me since it was so close to home. Just listen to it, this story probably has more soul than anything I've ever released.

Schizophrenia Apr 10, 2021

Show notes

Here is the failed, former "Mental Horrors" that I mentioned in 8000 Tons. I failed hard at making it work the way I wanted, but as I explain in the intro, I went about it the wrong way and wasted many, many hours trying to write a story within this discussion. I decided to scrap it, and release this as-is.
The Book Kate mentions in the conversation: "Flowers for Algernon" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36576608-flowers-for-algernon
Thank you for your patience, and I'm charging headlong into the next episode, which is a story that few podcasters are brave enough to tell in detail.

8000 Tons- a Minisode with updates Jan 31, 2021

Show notes

A little episode to give everyone an update and remind followers that I'm still here!
Not only that, but I go through a listener requested story without a script! I hope it isn't bad...and I'd be willing to bet that the overwhelming majority of you have never heard of this crime. The murder weapon is horrific to imagine, and the terror that the victims must have felt cannot be overstated.

Crimeatorium: Sterling Daniel Koehn Aug 28, 2020

Show notes

I have another podcast that I want to share with you today. It's called Crimeatorium and it's a brand-new storytelling styled podcast by an absolute sweetheart named Madeline. She's not only a great writer and researcher, but her voice is very relaxing. Don't be fooled though, she isn't afraid to get into the tough details of a story. I hope you "enjoy", if that's the right word for it...https://www.crimeatorium.com/https://www.facebook.com/Crimeatoriumhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crimeatorium/id1528855820https://open.spotify.com/show/15dlvVHmkTlWJrwxnRULRH?si=4l9I2sBBQwqV3QnlnEmffA&nd=1&nd=1
