Colleagues in Crime

In our first post-Halloween episode, Jenn tells the spooooky tale of the Greenbriar Ghost, and how this scary spirit helped solve her own murder! We then jump to the story of the wrong kind of anti-virus - John McAfee, namesake of, yep, that antivirus computer software; also a tax evader, former presidential candidate, alleged murder, and definite all-around creep. Ew. 

In Part 2 of our extra looong episode, Jenn recounts the twisty tale of New Jersey's Action Park, one of the most dangerous and deadly theme parks ever. On Action Park's dangerous thrill rides, bones were broken, people got electrocuted, and several people died in terrible ways - yet no one ever seemed to pay for this tragedy. Were shady dealings perhaps involved? Join us to find out, as we get down to business! 

This week's episode is a 2-Parter! In Part 1, Melissa nerds out about the fact there's a new person of interest in the Madeleine McCann Case - after 13 years. Madeleine went missing while on vacation with her parents in Portugal, just shy of her 4th birthday. It's fueled tons of theories and speculation over the years, ranging from a lone predator to human trafficking, and it's one case in particular that has driven Melissa crazy. We dig deep into what we could find about this suspect, who authorities now say they have "concrete evidence" linking him to Maddie's disappearance.  (Obvious disclaimer this case is still going on - so things could change. Still, it's an exciting update and we hope this case can finally be solved.)

You guys! After a loooong hiatus, we are thrilled to be back! Jenn first tells the story of H.H. Holmes and his multiple old-timey crimes, from horse thievery to owning what appeared to be a murder hotel - complete with soundproof rooms, doors to nowhere, and body-sized chutes to the basement. Eek! Melissa tells the story of the Sampoong Mall, a giant, bright pink beacon of shopping and entertainment, until its sudden, mysterious collapse killed over 500 people, and became one of the deadliest building disasters in modern history. Could such a horrible tragedy be an accident? Or - was there a criminal element involved? (P.S. – yes, we know we got the Nightstalker Richard Ramirez’s name wrong…it was late, we were 2 mimosas and 6 months of quarantine in, whoops.) Join us as we get BACK to business!

Join Jenn and Melissa as we tell the tale of a roadside murder solved using - of all things - plant DNA! We then discuss a woman’s mysterious disappearance at sea and her extra fishy husband. 

Imagine your sweet ol’ grandmotherly neighbor is caught with seven bodies buried in her backyard...and is suspected of killing even more. Come hang with us as we discuss the case of Dorothea Puente, dubbed ‘The Death House Lady.’  Next, a family mysteriously falls ill, and a tampered batch of soda seems to be the source - but who would want to poison an entire family, and why? 

Tune in for a true tall Texas tale filled with twists and turns as we discuss the mysterious murder of Beverly Jean Hope. Is it really always the husband that did it? We then jump to the story of a real killer clown that showed up on Marlene Warren’s doorstep one fateful day. Let’s get down to business! 

Lucky number Episode Seven! Jenn tells the tale of a dentist’s premonition that ultimately leads police to investigate one of their own. Then Melissa covers the Kra(z)y story of Kray twins Ronnie and Reggie, two brazen gangsters who wined and dined London’s elite during the Swingin' Sixties. 

As a special thanks for all the support we've received so far, we want to thank YOU, our beloved Colleagues, with a bonus 'lil Teenysode! We discuss the merits of cat hair 'fur'ensics, and a case that happened in Melissa's hometown neighborhood. 

Join us for the biggest cops and robbers story you’ve probably never heard of...but changed modern policing forever. And it happened right down the street from us! Next, we cover the case of Ray and Faye, a killer couple not nearly as cute as their rhyming names suggest. 

Five Golden Episodes!  Listen in for a story full of FAN-CEE twists and turns, following "Clark Rockefeller" (a.k.a. Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, a.k.a. too many other aliases to list), who mingles with the social elite, but isn’t who he seems.  Next, we cover the mysterious phone booth abduction of Angela Hammond and her unborn baby, a mystery unsolved to this day. 

Tune in for a forbidden love story where teenage Natasha Ryan seemingly vanishes, and we share the great lengths she took to hide her romance with Scott Black. Then we “hit” a story about a famous mob boss, Paul Castellano, who is responsible for many crimes and murders, but manages to never commit any himself. Let’s get down to business!

In celebration of our third episode, we’ve got three crimes comin’ atcha! We discuss the story of a long-cold case that was recently solved, the mysterious disappearance of Brianna Maitland, and finally, a killer the media dubbed “the Internet’s First Serial Killer” and “the Internet Slavemaster.” 

On today’s episode, Jenn and Melissa discuss a criminal with one of the longest outstanding felony warrants on record – a woman named Sharon Kinne.  We then jump to ‘The Hungarian Vampire’ Bela Kiss and his penchant for collecting barrels – and bodies.  Let’s get down to business! 

Join Melissa and Jenn as we discuss true crime stories of long adulterous walks and creepy internet talks...that lead to murder.
