Pennsylvania farmer, Howard Wyning, went missing July 21, 1923 and it was weeks before it was discovered he was murdered. At first, it seemed like a robbery gone wrong. But as investigators learned about Howard's situation at home, there were more complexity and motives for his death. In an attempt for justice, police and Howard himself urge those who know the truth to come forward. Tea of the Day: Sweetie Pie ChaiTheme Music by Brad FrankSources:“Self Defense May Be Plea of Schlappig.” Reading Times, Mon, Aug 13, 1923 ·Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/47553812/“Mrs. Whining Is Charged With Part in Murder.” Reading Times, Tue, Aug 14, 1923, Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/47553977/“Farmer Found Dead May Have Been Murdered.” Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, the Evening News, Sat, Aug 11, 1923, Page 12, https://www.newspapers.com/image/177437040/“Jury Blames Mrs. Whining and Schlappig.” Reading Times, Fri, Aug 24, 1923, Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/47555715/Police Hold Farm Hand in Death Quiz.” Reading Times, Fri, Aug 10, 1923 ·Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/47553452/“Says Wife Does Not Realize Serious Charges in Murder Plot - Families Take Children.” Reading Times, Thu, Aug 16, 1923, Page 2, https://www.newspapers.com/image/47554364/“Bail for Widow.” Reading Times, Wed, Sep 12, 1923, Page 2, https://www.newspapers.com/image/47559082/“Confesses Murder of Berks Farmer.” Intelligencer Journal, Wed, Dec 12, 1923, Page 5, https://www.newspapers.com/image/557422820/“Youth Admits Murder Charge, Gets 16 Years.” Coatesville Record, Wed, Dec 19, 1923, Page 2, https://www.newspapers.com/image/1032377266/“‘They Made Me Say It,' Mrs Wyning Declares, Repudiating Confesstion.” Reading Times, Tue, Jun 17, 1924, Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/48246945/Mrs. Whining Sobs When Acquitted.” Reading Times, Wed, Jun 18, 1924, Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/48247005/“Mrs. Whining Staying with her Father.” Reading Times, Thu, Jun 19, 1924, Page 7, https://www.newspapers.com/image/48247091/“Addis Objects to Giving Lloyd Schlappig Outside Work.” Reading Times, Thu, Jul 15, 1926, Page 12, https://www.newspapers.com/image/49748215/Obituaries, The Mercury, Fri, Feb 15, 1974, Page 2, https://www.newspapers.com/image/42674125/

In the 1930s, Ohio resident Anna Marie Hahn took the gateway crime of insurance fraud down a dark path of murder. She could not help charming people, convincing them to give her money in their will (think tens of thousands– and this is Great Depression money!), and then making sure that will was in play. We also visit another Ohioan on death row, Dovie Dean, who shared Anna's method of murder but not her motivation. Hear the story of both women and decide for yourself what really happened. Tea of the Day: Howl's Moving Tea House Earl Grey Theme Music by Brad FrankFor a full list of sources, go to https://tea-time-crimes.simplecast.com/episodes.Sources:Anna Marie Hahn: Serial Killer, “The Beautiful Blonde Killer.” By True Crime: Bus Stop Reads, Bus Stop Reads Copyright 2015Huffpost, “Anna Marie Hahn: The First Woman to Die in Ohio's Electric Chair.” By The Lineup, Contributor, Mar 7, 2016 - Updated Dec 6, 2017, https://www.huffpost.com/entry/anna-marie-hahn-the-first_b_9400002“The Lost History of Hester Foster.” By Bucky Cutright, June 21st, 2021, Columbus Underground, https://columbusunderground.com/the-lost-history-of-hester-foster-bc1/“Dovie Dean Dies in Electric Chair.” (Ap) The Cincinnati Enquirer, Sat, Jan 16, 1954, Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/100638905/“Three Held in Death of Farmer.” The Cincinnati Post, Thu, Sep 04, 1952, Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/762752375/Wife Confesses Poisoning Mate.” The Morning News, Sat, Sep 13, 1952, Page 2, https://www.newspapers.com/image/154516979/“Mrs. Dean in Hospital As 1st Trial Date Arrives.” The Cincinnati Post, Mon, Oct 20, 1952, Page 21, https://www.newspapers.com/image/762732137/“Accused Poison Slayer's Counsel Denies Guilt.” The Cincinnati Post, Tue, Dec 09, 1952, Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/762757290/“State Demands Death Penalty As Poison Murder Trial Opens.” The Times Recorder, Wed, Dec 10, 1952 Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/294194274/“Report on Poison.” The Cincinnati Enquirer, Thu, Dec 11, 1952, Page 28, https://www.newspapers.com/image/102840399/“Jury Weighs Mrs. Dean's Fate.” By Arthur Keller, The Cincinnati Post, Sat, Dec 13, 1952, Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/762761070/“Dovie Dean Dies In Electric Chair.” (AP) The Cincinnati Enquirer, Sat, Jan 16, 1954 Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/100638905/“Not Exactly a Blushing Bride, or Weeping Widow.” By Mara Bovsun, Daily News, Sun, Jun 11, 2023, Page 22, https://www.newspapers.com/image/977791681/“Mrs. Hahn In Collapse, Dies in Chair.” By Ralph Donaldson, The Plain Dealer, Thu, Dec 08, 1938, Page 4, https://www.newspapers.com/image/1059664358/

Saturday, September 2nd, 1933, hundreds of people flocked to the station as five women (Ms. Eleanor Jarman, Mrs. Bessie Opas, Mrs. Vera Carl, Mrs. Louise Murphy and Miss Katherine Brockman) were ushered onto a train to be sent to Oakdale Reformatory where they'd carry out their sentences.

It's Freaky Friday (Twisted Tuesday??) and Alana is taking over the mic. Buckle in for a wild ride through 1850s New Orleans where we meet all kinds of characters, most especially Mary Jane “Bricktop” Jackson. Mary was a sex worker who didn't put up with any nonsense or disrespect. Those that dared found themselves on the wrong side of her blade. Despite her murderous actions, we're willing to bet you might kinda like the gal, or at least, enjoy Alana's love for her. Tea of the Day: Lady GrayTheme Music by Brad FrankSources:Asbury, Herbert.

PART THREE. In Canada there is a stretch of highway between the cities of Prince Rupert and Prince George that covers 725 km (or 450 miles). For over 50 years, this dark, isolated road has swallowed up women and girls in the night from 1969 to present.

PART TWO. In Canada, there is a stretch of highway between the cities of Prince Rupert and Prince George that covers 725 km (or 450 miles). For over 50 years, this dark, isolated road has swallowed up women and girls in the night from 1969 to present. Because of the despair that has happened along this corridor, it is now known as the Highway of Tears.
