True Crime BnB

Hello and welcome back to Episode 97 at the True Crime BnB! This episode has me feeling philosophical about the little decisions we make every day, and how those go on to affect the rest of our lives. Wendy Jo Halison was a college senior in California, In 1968, she headed off in her convertible to buy a hair dryer that was on sale. She never made it home, and her murder was not solved for 48 years! When it was finally resolved, it turned out that she was not the only victim of the scum who took her life.Dale Wells was living his life in South Carolina, and when he met the woman who would become his partner, he was happy to have her in his life. At least, until she became controlling, manipulative, and murderous. Dale is a domestic violence survivor, and he has a lot of wisdom to share about setting your priorities and taking good care of yourself and those around you.If you or someone you know is suffering from domestic or partner violence, you can find help and resources:In the USA: National Domestic Violence Hotline 800-799-7233 or https://www.thehotline.org/In the UK: https://www.gov.uk/crime-justice-and-law/domestic-violenceIn Ireland: 1800 341 900 or https://www.womensaid.ie/In Australia: 1800RESPECT or https://www.1800respect.org.au/In South Africa: 0800 150 150 or https://lifelinesa.co.za/In Nigeria: 0 8000-333-333 or https://lagosdsva.org/In Colombia: call 155 or http://www.equidadmujer.gov.co/consejeria/Paginas/linea-155.aspxFor other countries, this link can help you search for the kind of help you need: https://findahelpline.com/______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB monthly, maybe more.

Hello, Crime Family. Have a seat, and let's get into Episode 96.Frank Tranter was a 74-year-old retired man living in the Lion Farm Estate in West Midlands, England. His health was seriously failing him, he was nearly blind, and he lived alone in his semi-detached bungalow. All he wanted to do was listen to music and wave at his neighbors out the window. But, no. Along came a group of no-goods who had to take those little pleasures, and everything else, away from Frank. Our survivor this episode is Monti Niccolo, a 22-year-old who loved hunting, fishing, and California wilderness camping. Wilderness camping can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, but Monti did. He knew very well how to take care of himself. So when he came across two people who had deadly intentions, Monti had to call upon his will to survive. And survive, he did! My announcement in this episode is that I'm going to be releasing only one episode per month, because I just don't have enough time to research, write, record, edit, and produce more than that on top of my day job and my fixer-upper house. But if I find that i have the time, I will put out some extras now and then. Thank you for joining me here at the True Crime BnB, and I hope to see you back next time for Episode 97! ______Time Stamps:00:00:00 Intro00:01:29 Frank Tranter00:18:25 Survivor Monti Niccolo00:28:00 Wrap-up00:29:04 Outro0:29:09 Bloopers______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB monthly, maybe more.. . .If you enjoy the show, please share my episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help me find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give me a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hello and welcome back for Episode 95. Apologies for the delay in releasing this episode; if you follow me on Instagram you know I was traveling and came home with a stray 4 week old kitten, so lately I've been all about toys, kitten food, and counting the scratches all over my skin. This week I am covering the frustrating case of the murder of Holly Palmer, which took place in Granbury, Texas in November, 1988. Holly was an amazing, ambitious 23 year old and seemingly had only one person who would have had any problems with her. It seems that police and Holly's family all have a strong suspicion of one particular person. So why, then, has no one ever been brought to justice for her horrible murder? Our survivor this week is an anonymous teenager out of Gwinnett County, Georgia, and her story shows what a strong, courageous young woman she is. She was only 15 when she was groomed on Snapchat by an older male, and she barely survived their first meeting, But she saw him again two years later when she saw him sentenced to 30-to-life for what he did to her. One question this case raises is how someone is a relatively normal YouTuber wannabe, and 10 months later he's a child rapist and attempted murderer? Regardless of what brought about his transition to a monster, we are here to celebrate the survivor. So, even though we don't know her name, we are sending every good vibe in her direction. Thank you for stopping back today. Please take care of yourselves, and I'll see you back here in two weeks. ______Time Stamps:00:00:00 Intro00:01:50 Holly Palmer00:31:59 Gwinnett County, Georgia Survivor00:42:39 Wrap-up00:43:41 Outro0:43:56 Bloopers______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy the show, please share my episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help me find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give me a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer! https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hello, Crime Family, and welcome back to Episode 94 at the True Crime BnB!I didn't plan to, but somehow I managed to have one case in each of the two most recent US states: one in Hawaii (became a state on Aug 21, 1959) and the other in Alaska (became a state on Jan 3, 1959).Hawaii is considered to be a paradise, and to many people, it absolutely is. But for Conrad Maesaka and Patricia Stevens, it may have started out as paradise, but it turned into a nightmare leading to their disappearances.Through a tip from a guilty conscience, the crime was eventually solved, but that was still not the end of it. Corruption, gambling, organized crime, and a desperate official all combined to prevent Conrad and Patty from getting their justice, even after a jury conviction. In the end we can recognize that although Conrad and Patty were flawed humans...who isn't??...they were not as flawed as pretty much every other person in this story. And they did not deserve what happened to them. And then to Alaska, where Robert Atwood headed, at the age of 28, to take over a tiny daily newspaper in Anchorage. Over 50+ years he turned it into one of the largest Alaska dailies, in addition to a myriad of other stellar accomplishments.But Bob never lost his energy, his leadership, his pluck, nor his love of family. And when his newspaper staff and his daughter were in danger from an irrational attacker, 79-year-old Bob sprang into action to neutralize the threat. And although it made national headlines, humble Bob didn't even put it on the front page the next day.Thank you for being here. I'm happy to see you, come back in two weeks for Episode 95!______Time Stamps:0:00:00 Intro0:01:22 Murder and Corruption in Hawaii0:24:43 Survivor Robert Atwood0:34:49 Wrap-up00:36:01 Closing0:36:31 Outro0:36:38 Bloopers______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hello, Crime Family, and welcome back to Episode 93 at the True Crime BnB. This week we have a little more cussing than usual, because it comes up in quotes that really contribute to the telling of the stories.Yes! I said STORIES. I'm harking back to the Bad Guy / Good Guy days, even in a solo episode, because if i can have an upper story to close the episode, then I will do that. First up is the senseless murder of 24 year old Susan Schwarz, who was killed in Snohomish County, Washington in 1979. Because of witness intimidation by the perpetrator, it was 32 years before her killer was brought to justice, but in the end, we applaud the witness for speaking up. Susan was a victim of revenge because she tried to help someone else who was also a victim. And she deserves to be remembered for the good, kind, compassionate young woman she was. I'm closing today with the upper story of Curtescine Foster Lloyd, a 51 year old woman in Edwards, Mississippi who was accosted in her bedroom by a naked man with evil intentions. But Curtescine saw her opportunity and took it. And that would-be rapist regretted the day he ever made his way into her house. Curtescine's testimony had the jury rolling with laughter, so don't miss this episode! (this is where almost all of the cussing comes in)So thank you for stopping by, If you've missed Puss in the bloopers, she made her comeback today, so don't forget to hang around after the Outro to hear what she had to say. See you back in two weeks, take care, and do something nice for yourself today!Time Stamps:0:00:00 Intro0:01:30 Susan Schwarz0:17:40 Survivor Curtescine Foster Lloyd0:26:05 Wrap-up0:27:32 Outro0:27:42 Bloopers______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hey, Crime Family, thanks for bearing with me as I am dropping Episode 92 two days late. The previous week just didn't allow me to finish it for Friday, so I am doing my first-ever Sunday release so I can stay on track for every other week.So, that business out of the way, this episode is a bit of a throwback to the old bad-guy / good-guy format that I still use in collaborations, but I'm both bad and good guy today. Today I bring you three teenagers who showed such strength, bravery, and presence of mind that they prevented the injury or death of people they cared about, or in one case, of complete strangers. Fair warning, these are hard cases to hear and definitely hard cases to narrate, so if you hear the emotion in my voice, you have no idea how many times i had to reread some of these paragraphs until I could get them out without a croak.Canaan Bower of Las Cruces, New Mexico, was 16 years old when he prevented a kidnapping, or worse, of a family at a gas station. Canaan was a champion heavyweight wrestler, but also an exemplary leader and human being, and his story is important.Jayden Perkins, of Chicago, Illinois, was 11 years old when he saved his pregnant mom and unborn sibling from almost certain death when his mom's distant ex burst into their home with a knife. Jayden was that child whom everyone adored, who brought light and sunshine into the day of every person he met. His story must be told, so that he will never be forgotten.Josslyn Millan, of Midvale, Utah, was 13 years old when her world went in an instant from a safe, family environment to absolute terror in a carjacking. Her first thoughts were not for herself, but for her infant sister, and she instinctively did all of the most important things to take control of the situation and get herself and her baby sister Ivey home safely.As per our regular format, the last story will leave you on a positive note to go out into the world feeling uplifted.As always, I'm grateful that you have stopped by here at the True Crime BnB! Have a seat, grab a frosty beverage off the bar, and let's talk about some outstanding young people that you'll never forget!Time Stamps:0:00:00 Intro0:01:05 Canaan Bower0:08:45 Jayden Perkins0:18:28 Josslyn Millan0:25:52 Wrap-up0:27:25 Outro______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hello, I'm glad you've chosen to pop in at the True Crime BnB for Episode 91! This week's episode is pretty rough and covers a senseless crime against a West Alexandria, Ohio woman who, in February, 1989, was weeks away from giving birth to a son she had already named. Joy Gayle Morningstar Stewart was one of those rare people who brightened the day of anyone lucky enough to encounter her. When she was brutally murdered for the most disgusting of reasons, her family and loved ones suffered tremendously thereafter.And when the execution of her killer didn't go quite as intended, it set in motion a whole series of redirections that are still happening today. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope to see you back next time for Episode 92. ______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hello, Crime Family, and welcome back to Episode 90 here at the True Crime BnB!This week I have special guest Miss Ruby Wilde, co-hostess of the Vintage Homicide Podcast, bringing the sad and senseless murder of Grand Ol' Opry and HeeHaw regular David "Stringbean" Akeman and his wife Estelle. But even if you already know what happened to Stringbean and Estelle, Miss Ruby has widened this story to a surprisingly large number of other related, but also unrelated, murders! This case had a great impact on the greater country music scene in the 1970's. Beth follows behind with the survival story of Sherri Boone, a brave and gutsy woman in Massachusetts. She lived through a terrible attack and when the law failed her, she made it her mission to bring attention to, and bring about revisions to, the very outdated penal code in Massachusetts. Once you've listened, please go follow Miss Ruby Wilde along with her cohostess Miss Mei Day at Vintage Homicide Podcast at Instagram: @vintagehomicide and Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/vintagehomicide You can find their LinkTree here: https://linktr.ee/vintagehomicidepodcast I hope you're taking care of yourselves, and that you are being kind to others.

Thank you for joining me to back at the True Crime BnB for Episode 89. Today I am taking you to Mexico City in 1958, and we are going to remember the murder of Harriet Ann Eckman Hicks. But there is a lot to remember about Harriet besides the way she was taken from her family. Harriet was a woman who made her own life and lived outside the bounds of what society expected of her in the 1950's. She was a creative, an entrepreneur, and a woman ahead of her time. She built a life that she loved, and that included solo travel as she saw fit. Unfortunately, on one of her trips to Mexico City, Mexico, she came into contact with a predator who used Mexico City as his hunting grounds and attacked or killed numerous other women.When you see furniture or decorations that are woven from pandanus leaves, you can thank Harriet for being one of the very first who popularized the style; when you see themed Christmas trees, she was one of the first to do that, too.Harriet Ann Eckman Hicks was an extraordinary person, a woman who didn't sit and wait for permission to make her life what she wanted it to be. And Harriet deserves to be remembered._______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Thank you for joining me this week for Episode 88, as we head to San Francisco, California and the horrific case of Frank and Annette Carlson. This crime took place in 1974 and was so excessively violent that the perpetrator tried to pass himself off as one of the many serial killers that were in that area in the early 1970's. Annette survived but has spent the last 50 years haunted by the events of that night. ...And it's been made worse by the fact that her attacker, the killer of her wonderful husband, benefitted from the 1976 US Supreme Court decision that capital punishment laws as they existed at that time were unconstitutional. Please go to JusticeforFrank.org to help the family keep this sadistic sexual psychopath in prison and stop making the family circle the wagons every three years as they have since 1980! Let's get started, because this is a big one. _______Mentions in this episode:Torture Podcast, referring you to the excellent two-episode series on the Synanon Foundation, you can find those in the October and November, 2022 episodes produced by Kevin Young and Dan Hourigan. @torturepod on Instagram.

Howdy and welcome back to the True Crime BnB! Thanks for joining me for this Just One B, Episode 87! Today's case is similar to some of the cases we have covered in the past, but with one unusual factor.David Alexander was a nice Irishman living in Ontario, Canada. He was a good dad, a good husband, and carried the secret that his wife abused him. David still loved his wife Christine, but had come to the conclusion that he couldn't 'fix' her. She, like countless other abusers, decided that if he wouldn't stay with her, she couldn't let him live. This episode talks about the not-uncommon but rarely reported crime of husband abuse, and how Canada's Divorce Act makes it possible for abusers to sue their victims for spousal support!! Crazy!!Thank you for stopping by! Have a seat, Bailey and Puss will be by with the wine carafe in just a few minutes. :-) Cheers, crime family!_____________Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hi guys, I'm sorry to have been MIA for the last month, but I finally made it back to this episode that we recorded at the beginning of December!But let me tell you, Episode 86 is worth the wait!This collaboration with MaryAnne from Social Detective is intense, and also longer than my normal episodes, see time stamps below.MaryAnne brings us the infuriating (no joke--this will make you angry) case of the Fager Family murders in Wichita, Kansas. Mary Fager's husband Phillip and both of her daughters, Kelli and Sherri, were senselessly murdered between Christmas and New Year's eve in 1987. All the evidence pointed to one person. This person was caught, arrested, and brought to trial. But if you assume that means there was justice....well, you'd better hear the whole story.Beth follows with a difficult survivor story of a young Georgia mother who was nearly murdered by her ex-boyfriend's attempted murder/suicide. But Jalen Morris, although she suffered immensely from what her attacker did in his final acts, rose above what most people could accomplish. Gravely injured, she shielded her six-week-old baby from gunfire, and managed to save herself and her infant boy from the baby's deranged father.The strong and beautiful Morris family is doing everything they can to be independent, but horrible crimes like this one have far-reaching effects on a family's financial structure.Please, if you can spare ANY amount , please join me in donating to the Morris Family's GoFundMe, here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/34qqpkf13cAnd then please go follow the Social Detective Podcast.Here is MaryAnne's LinkTree: go here for other links: https://linktr.ee/crimecakesinstagram: https://www.instagram.com/social_detective_podcast/Thank you for waiting for me. I'm back and ready to find more overlooked victims and awe-inspiring survivors to honor.

Hello, my dear Crime Family, apologies that I couldn't get this episode out before Christmas as planned. We had a death in my family and my only focus was family last week.But for this episode I was lucky enough to collaborate again with my friend Lyndon from Murder at Bedtime with Lyndon and the Exiled Yellowbelly. Links to his channels and podcast are below.Lyndon brought us a heartbreaking case out of Sheffield in 2012: the senseless and brutal murder of Alan Greaves. Alan was a pillar of his community, a strong and loving family man, and was generous and kind beyond words. There was no reason anything should have happened to Alan, as it was a random attack during his walk to the church to play the organ for the Christmas Eve mass. The loss to his community and his family were devastating, and we both got pretty worked up about this case.Beth follows with the survival story of Richard Underwood, Jr. in Hillsboro, Oregon in 1997. Richard was working at his family's Christmas tree lot when the family was attacked by a swarm of high school boys specifically out to cause trouble. This case was maddening in its aftermath, but we have to focus on the Herculean efforts of Richard Jr. to come back from life-threatening injuries and find his way back to a meaningful and satisfying life.Lyndon is always a pleasure to record with, and I am thankful for his return to our guest bad guy position, but he is a fantastic creator in his own right.

Hello, welcome to Just One B week at the BnB! Today for Episode 84, I'm bringing you a story of a heroic mother who saved the lives of her large family when their home was consumed in a Christmas fire 62 years ago.Rosemary Shayotovich Swiger Starry thought of nothing except the safety of her bedridden husband and her eight children when their Christmas tree caused a house fire in the early morning hours of December 26, 1961. Rosemary's story made headlines across the country that year, but her selfless bravery deserves to be remembered today.Also, please take this as a reminder to check your decorations and electrical devices to prevent a house fire--and make sure your family never find themselves in this terrifying situation. Only a few minutes of your time could save someone's life.We've left a chilled bottle of wine in the fridge for you, and I've reserved the biggest room here at the BnB so you can get some quiet and have a little nap. Fat chance with Puss wandering the halls....Take good care of yourselves--I'll be back in two weeks with a guest that you've met before and everyone loved!Meow!_____________Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Welcome to the November Just One B, so this week, there is no good guy. I know, rough, but this is just how it has to be sometimes at the BnB.My case this week was a senseless, tragic, and random act of violence towards a young woman who was going to do great things in her life. Sharon Galligan was only weeks away from embarking on her semester abroad when she was a junior at the University of Massachusetts. Her life was extinguished in a mall parking lot just before she headed home for the Christmas break in 1989.Sharon was the casualty of an arbitrary decision by a man with a victim complex, and since there was no connection between them, it took years before police found out who had committed this disgusting crime against a lovely young person with her whole life ahead of her. Please think about Sharon and her family as you prepare for whatever holidays you celebrate.

Welcome back for Episode 82 here at the BnB! Thank you for joining me as I welcome Deb from Dying To Be Found podcast as this week's guest bad guy!Deb went big with her case this week, in the tragic downfall, crimes, and untimely death of New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez. He did some terrible things over a number of years, but Deb shows us the double-edged sword of the life that made him both wealthy and reckless. She elaborates on underlying factors and influences that helped send Aaron in the wrong direction. But whatever the reasons he did the things he did, by Aaron's hand, Odis Lloyd was needlessly killed in cold blood.Beth follows up with a survivor story from 1986. Laurie Melanson was living in small town New York and working in a challenging and fulfilling career. When she met John Brown, it didn't take long for her to realize he wasn't the right guy for her. After she broke it off, though, John became obsessed and violent, assaulting Laurie, stalking her, and finally attempting to kill them both in a murder-suicide. But she was stronger and more determined than he thought she would be, and she fought her way back and used her experience to help people who really needed her understanding.Please go check out Deb's podcasts, Dying to be Found and Dying to be Found: THE DASH, here: Dying to be Found | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | LinktreeThank you once again for coming along with me on this crazy journey of remembrance of victims and celebration of survivors. It wouldn't be the same without you!Now, after this long week, I'm ready for some hard cider and a bowl of leftover Halloween candy.

Hello again, and welcome back to the True Crime BnB for Episode 81!This week is a solo Just One B, episode, but I'm still bringing you two stories. But since this is a Halloween episode, neither case has a happy or uplifting ending. Apologies for breaching the format, but these two cases are important and I wanted to share them both.The common themes of these two stories are that both took place on Halloween in the 1980's, both were in California, and both cases resulted in the death sentence for the perpetrators. You may have heard of the second case, but probably not the first.The first is the story of the events leading up to John K Stopher's senseless murder in his own shower on Halloween, 1986, and how the criminal who killed him tried to use John's own private life as an excuse for why he did it. The man who was responsible also murdered another woman, Billie Fae Jones, just so he could steal her van as part of his plans for his attack on John and John's girlfriend Rosa.The second is the horrific murder of Doreen Rae Hitchens Ebert, who was 8 months pregnant when she was literally slaughtered in the doorway of her own home on Halloween, 1984. This is a hard one to listen to, but I will warn you before I give as toned-down a description of the violence as I can while still expressing the sheer brutality of this crime.Thank you for joining me for Episode 81, now let's have a seat, and let me tell you about some lovely people who never should have had to go through what they did. You might need an extra shot in your glass for this one.I will be back in two weeks with another guest bad guy in Episode 82, and I am really looking forward to it! See ya!_____________Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Welcome back to Episode 80, my dear Crime Family! I've missed you!This week I had the pleasure of working again with Andy from Picture the Scene Podcast, with whom we also collaborated on Episode 41. Rachael was unable to join us, but Andy brought us a case from the UK, detailing the horrible domestic violence murder of Dawn Walker. This murder was, unfortunately, predictable, but the circumstances are beyond tragic. Dawn was a wonderful person who was loved by everyone who knew her, and she deserved far better.My case this week is the survivor story of Py Bateman. Py was a revolutionary related to women's self-defense, as the world in the 1960's and 1970's was becoming an ever more dangerous place for women. She saw her peers being given outdated and dangerous advice related to personal safety, and took it upon herself to teach women how to fight back when she opened the Feminist Karate Union. The acronym FKU may or may not have been coincidental. Wink. And when she had to use her own methods to save herself, she came away knowing she was doing the right thing. Py is a warrior, and she taught hundreds of other women how to have the discipline and confidence to be warriors, too!Please go check out Picture the Scene Podcast, follow them on social media @scenepod, and give Andy's Yorkshire accent a chance. He swears you'll learn to love it! I think you will, too. You can find places to listen here: linktr.ee/ScenepodAs always, thank you for stopping by. I do appreciate your company in this big old place.

Hello again, y'all, and thank you for being here for Episode 79!This week I have brought in a guest host who is one of my oldest friends--we went to college together in 1821! Okay, it was a few years after that, but we've literally been friends since I was 18. That was even before I started the BnB!!Buckeye Don bravely took on co-hosting duties today, and he brought us a hella interesting case. Don is sharing the story around the origin and the investigation of the man known in New York City in the 1940's and 1950's as the Mad Bomber.George Metesky started out with a legitimate complaint against how he was treated, but oh BOY did he take it so much too far.Beth follows up with a survivor story a little bit different from many that we've shared before. This is an entire family, three of whom were physically attacked and could have been killed by a home invader. But three of these family members: Joy Darrow, Steven Pratt, and daughter Tracy Baim, all went on to be extraordinary journalists and to set an example of how to love and respect all people for who they are.And mother Joy and daughter Tracy accomplished something extra-special together that will never be forgotten.Don's first episode went great, and he's welcome to pop back in at the BnB whenever he feels like he wants to get away. Hope you enjoy meeting my old pal, and we thank you for listening!See you in two weeks for Episode 80!!. . . . ..Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Episode 78 is here, y'all! This week, I was lucky enough to be able to finish editing my collaboration with Courtney and Patrick from Evil Pudding Podcast, These two put together an amazing, detail-packed podast, and if you're not listening to them, you should be. I started off the episode with Installment #10 of Architect Mayhem. This week's Architect-gone-bad is a UK man who made his amazing Argentinian wife disappear, not only out of spite but also hoping to capitalize on her estate after she'd been missing for seven years. Michael Jonathan Morton had a head start on the investigation, and Gracia Lezama Morton's remains have still never been found. If you're already a fan of Evil Pudding, this episode is going to be a treat for you, because this is their first time playing the good guy! Courtney brings us the unbelievable survival story of Illinois teenager Ashley Reeves, who was groomed from a young age and nearly killed by her former teacher. You'll be both angry and amazed by this incredible story!!If you hear the fluctuations in the sound quality, I'm sorry, but if you hang around for the bloopers, you'll understand what happened. Plus you'll get to hear about Coconut the Great Pyrenees's nightmare and Jackson the bulldog's snoring problem. This episode was a real challenge because of the technical issues, but it's a good one, and I'm really proud of it. Please listen with care, be good to yourself and others, and go follow @evilpuddingpodcast at Instagram and Facebook. So, grab a seat on the BnB couch before the dogs take over, freshen your complimentary beverage, and get comfortable. As always, I love you, and will talk to you again soon! . . . . ..Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hi, Crime Family, thanks for being here this week for this Just One B episode, with solo Beth telling the rough story of the murder of Cammi Leigh Ostwald, who was a 16-year-old Michigander from Clinton Township, which is a suburb of Detroit. She was a pretty typical teenager, but after a fight with her mom about an older boy, Cammi ran away. Cammi's family were frantic to find her and bring her home, but the 19-year-old her 'friend' asked to look after her took that possibility off the table. Her murder was horrific and cruel, and seems likely to have taken place because of a childish fantasy the perpetrator had held in his mind for years. Please hear Cammi's story, and keep in your hearts all the distraught families of runaways. Her family loved her. Her family wanted her home. She really didn't grasp how much she was loved, even though they showed it with the care they tried to give her. This loss was tragic and brutal and devastating. Rest in peace, Cammi. Thank you for listening to this young woman's story, and if you find yourself in a position to help a vulnerable runaway or their family, I hope you'll try to help. If you're a runaway, have a friend who has run away, or want to find ways to help, please visit the National Runaway Safeline. https://www.1800runaway.org/ or call them at 1-800-runaway .I'll be back in a couple of weeks with a collaboration with one of my favorite humans on the planet! But it's a secret until we manage to actually record something. Hahahaha!

Welcome, one and all, it's Episode 76 here at the True Crime BnB--where the doors are always open and we always have a comfy spot to sit and talk about victims and survivors.This week, I was happy to be joined by Tiffany, half of the co-host duo from Cola City Crime, an amazing podcast out of South Carolina.Tiffany generously offered to be our bad guy this week, and she brought one doozy of a story--Bobbie Sue Terrell, an Illinois transplant living in Florida. Terrell was a mentally ill nurse who was most likely responsible for over a dozen deaths of patients in health care facilities where she worked over the years.These cases are the stuff of nightmares to people who need to have their loved ones in a care facility.Beth follows up with a second straight episode coming from Australia! We have two inspiring survivors of an ill-planned, evil home invasion where there were four potential victims in the house.But James Myers and Luke Convery overcame a million obstacles and setbacks, to survive and come away from the experience with love in their hearts and positive outlooks. Along with the bullets they both still have in their heads.I know you have lots of great podcasts competing for your listening time, and I'm honored and grateful that you are here. Please also go check out Cola City Crime, I know you'll love them, too!And if you would like to donate to the GoFundMe to send kids to Space Camp in Stanley's honor, please find that page here: Stanley's Go Fund Me: gofund.me/220522d6As always, thank you, we love you, and please take good care.. . . . ..Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hello and welcome back, Crime Family! Thank you for being here for this special episode with my dear friend Carmen from Live, Laugh, Murder Podcast! Carmen has generously popped in to be the bad guy and tell us about the case of the horrible interrogation of Ryan Waller, who was arrested on suspicion of shooting his girlfriend Heather Quan in Arizona. But the facts of this case are even more horrifying, and Carmen will explain it all. Heather and Ryan were both victims; just wait for the whole story. Beth brings the narrative of the events leading up to and following the attempted murder of transplanted New Zealander Rachele Godsall in Australia. She was a kind, faithful, loving partner to a man who simply could not, or would not, get his insecurities under control. What he did to Rachele, and the strength and wisdom she showed afterward, will make you love and admire this woman. Carmen brought red wine, and the BnB bar is always stocked with whiskey, snacks, and mixers. Grab a chilly beverage, take a seat, and let's get this show on the road.

Episode 74 is a wild ride, y'all!This week, Beth teamed up with Lyndon from "Murder at Bedtime with Lyndon" and the "Exiled Yellowbelly", and this episode is wild!The trans-Atlantic recording was less than stellar, so the sound quality leaves something to be desired, but I hope you will try to bear with us because the episode is worth it!Lyndon brilliantly covers the 2016 case of the so-called Twilight Killers, two 14-year-olds in the UK who committed two horrific murders and then cuddled on the couch to watch movies.Beth follows with Survivor Florence Dutro Richardson Brown, who married too quickly after her husband died, and the new husband turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Florence was strong, smart, and successful in her own right. And her now-ex went away to San Quentin for a looooong time.Thank you for stopping by at the BnB on this fantastic Friday. Lyndon and I have just run down the street to the Pub, so join us there, and we'll all come back to the BnB later for spiked ice cream!Cheers, everyone!. . . . .Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Welcome back, everybody, it's finally time to release Episode 73! We've had a bit of a hiatus, and things are a little bit different around the BnB this week. Beth is solo, except, as you'll find at the very end, in the bloopers. This week's episode covers a sad case I'm confident you've never heard before unless you're from the Schuylkill, PA area. Ruth Miller Coffey was in a loving, happy marriage with William Coffey, III. They truly adored one another, and Ruth supported Bill in every way possible. She was one of the few people who stood by him during his seizures that were started after a head injury during the Vietnam War. And although everyone could see Bill's love for Ruth, his depression over the limitation on his life drove him to a point of intense darkness and violence. Please hear this story with an open mind, because although what happened was inexcusable and horrific, it's also true that Bill was a victim of factors beyond his control. Thank you for joining Beth in her solo journey today to remember and memorialize the Coffeys. Have a glass of wine, and let's talk about Ruth and Bill.

We made it, y'all! It's Friday! And episode 72 has something to pique the curiosity of just about everyone.Bailey takes us on a whirlwind trip up Interstate-75 starting in Daytona Beach, FL, through Atlanta, GA, and winding up in the woods of Wisconsin in an unsolved, mysterious disappearance. Timothy Michael Molnar was the kind of young man who had everything going for him, and his life seemed to be moving in a positive direction. But one day, he just vanished, apparently of his own volition, and later ended up in Wisconsin, under mysterious circumstances, and leaving many, many questions.Beth follows up with a survivor story that goes in a lot of directions to illustrate how some bad choices can take a nice, responsible person and turn them into a really bad one. Laura Palumbo thought she had a good guy in former Iowa State defensive All-Big-8 football player Lester Williams, but as she decided not to let his increasing chaos be the center of her life, he jumped right into the deep end and tried to take her with him. This story is one of lost potential, lost love, and an incredibly strong woman who took her experience and decided to use it to help other people who needed her.We can't thank you enough for being here with us again this week!

Happy Friday, Crime Family! If your week has been anywhere near as hectic as ours, we will happily be your excuse to relax and pop open a cold one. In fact, we strongly encourage it! (You might need it after this one...)First up this week is Beth; who will tell you a tragic story of obsession gone wrong, Although the circumstance of what happened to Amy Lynn Boyer was considered a first in the internet era, the underlying root of her story is unfortunately all-too-familiar.Next, Bailey brings us the incredible survivor of a brutal home invasion; Ellen Halbert. This one will send a shiver down your spine, and is admittedly graphic, but the strength that Ellen showed in the aftermath of her attack will certainly warm you back up.We've already loaded up the coolers with an assortment of options; so, all that's left to do is choose your favorite drink and sit back.. . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Friday is upon us again, which means that it's time for another campfire at the BnB. In (yet another) strange coincidence, we both brought stories that took place during the beginning of the 20th century.This week, Bailey tells the head-scratching tale of the Redpath Family, and the secrets that were kept in what is now referred to as The Redpath Murder Mansion in Montreal. The true events of one evening, that the surviving family members continued to refer to as "the accident", may never be known.Beth's story brings us a survivor, who isn't our normal survivor....in fact, he's the bad guy. But the story is about so much more than that, and we choose to celebrate the survivor of HIS abuse, who was able to escape because of social change; and one damn good little brother.Bring some marshmallows and a pointy stick; we'll provide the spiked hot chocolate.. . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Welcome back to episode 68+1, Crime Family (we are a family-owned business, after all)!Today Bailey decided to celebrate Puss' surprise heritage (a Norwegian Forest Cat), by crushing our souls with the story of Benjamin Labaran Hermansen. Benjamin was a bi-racial teen living in Norway, who was raised to advocate for himself, and anyone else who needed a voice. This story will anger you, but also give you hope for future generations.Beth takes us to Northern Mississippi with Richard Morton, whose wife was convicted in a scheme to have him murdered. Richard survived, and decided for himself what the rest of his life would look like.So buckle up, Crime Fam, and join us in saluting Puss' heritage; we normally ask you to grab a beverage, but just for today...maybe consider a tuna. . . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hi, Crime Fam, and welcome back to week 68! This week Bailey takes us to Arkansas for the maddening murder of Beverly Carter, a Realtor who was just trying to satisfy some new clients who wanted one of her listings. Beverly's killers claimed they never meant to hurt her, but when you hear the story, you probably won't believe that any more than we do. Her family set up a foundation in Beverly's name to help Realtors safer when showing houses. To access educational materials related to safety and situational security for Realtors and other people who make 'house calls', please visit https://beverlycarterfoundation.org/Beth tells the story of Jayde Logan of Newport, South Wales. In 2020, Jayde was an exceptional young woman, trying to live her best life, when serendipity put her in the crosshairs of an unhinged, jealous woman. This person attacked Jayde with a hammer in the street, in front of many people, leaving her with scars, headaches, and understandable mental trauma. But Jayde lived, healed, has returned to living her life, and after the head injuries she received, that's a wonder in and of itself.

This week's Episode 67 explores two stories that involve betrayals, although they're not the type of betrayals that usually appear in this podcast. Beth takes us to Americus, Georgia, where the murder of Margaret Leigh Bell is unlikely to ever be solved because so many mistakes were made when the case was still warm. Leigh's case was a suggestion from my friend Brian, and I hope that he and others who remember Leigh's story are satisfied that we did right by her. Because she has never had justice, and her family has suffered since 1979, when the amazing 15 year old was brutally taken from them. Bailey follows up with the survival story of a woman who was treated like family by her neighbors, but some families are not what they appear, and some people are very good at hiding their evil. Kimberly Morton was starting her life and had so many exciting new things happening, and she couldn't wait to share it with her closest friends. But one of them had a secret, and when he finally let it out, he found out that Kimberly was stronger than he expected. She took her experience and set out to make a difference, and that's exactly what she has done. So when we recorded this, Beth had pinkeye, and because of her blurry vision, she was having a really hard time reading what she had typed...leading to great confusion for Bailey. But no worries, Bailey is a good little editor and made it comprehensible. Thank you all so much for being here with us at the BnB this week, and please join us again next week for Episode 68!

Welcome, Crime Family, we're glad you're here! This week has two tough narratives, but as always, we will leave you with a positive outcome for our survivor!Beth starts us off with a case that hit Benton County, Washington like a bomb in 2004. King Robert Mars II, who was known by all as Bob Mars, was a beloved teacher, coach, volunteer, mentor, son, brother, husband, and father. He would do anything to help or guide a kid in the right direction, but it was this generosity of spirit that put him in harm's way. He tried to be helpful, and was killed by two teenaged boys who took advantage of his kindness but were really just looking to do some damage. Bailey introduces us to Holden White, an 18-year-old Lafayette, Louisiana man who was just looking to start his adult life and meet someone. A date he had talked to on Grindr for a month turned out to be a predator, and Holden barely survived their first meeting, Even as he healed in the hospital, he was marginalized by the law enforcement officers who were supposed to be investigating his case. Thankfully, he demanded change, and got it. We can't thank you enough for your support and for listening. You all are truly the best! Love you, talk to you next week!. . . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we would love and appreciate any amount of your support at Patreon, here: https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator

In our maiden podcast, Bailey tells the story of the Weiss Market Massacre in Pennsylvania, and Beth recounts the redemption story of the little boy who saved his family in Scotland.POST NOTE: The original edit of this episode was so bad that we re-edited it and are reloading it. It's still our first episode, so please don't judge too harshly!! You live and you learn, y'all!

Hi there, Crime Family, welcome back, to Episode 65!This week Bailey covers the stories of two women who were both found murdered in the Indianapolis, Indiana, now-demolished Claypool Hotel during the mid-20th century.Maoma Ridings was a friend to Franklin Delano Roosevelt as well as a Corporal in the Women's Army Corps in 1943, and was the victim of an unsolved homicide on the 7th floor.Dorothy Poore was an 18 year old who was on a trip to Indianapolis to find a clerical job, but was found days later stuffed into a dresser drawer on the 6th floor. That crime was supposedly 'solved.' but Bailey has her doubts about whether they caught the real perpetrator.Beth follows with the survival story of Johanna Orozco-Fraser, a high school senior who had already had a difficult life and then was put through a crime so cruel and traumatic that it took her years to be able to look at herself in the mirror again.But Johanna was strong and made the decision that she would choose to be content with her life, and when she found that peace, happiness found her. This case is a tough one because the man who tried to kill Johanna was the man she had once loved with all her heart.Thank you for being here with us today!

Episode 64 is a shorter one, but centered around two amazing people who had some really bad things happen to them.Bailey starts us off with the unsolved murder of Judy Smith. Judy was a wonderful human, a Bostonian who had a happy family life and an important career at which she excelled. On a trip to Philadelphia, Judy just....vanished.There were sightings of her between Philadelphia and Boston, but where she was found five months later, 600 miles away in Mount Pisgah, North Carolina, hint at an ominous sequence of events that nobody really knows for certain.Beth follows up with the survivor story of Angelique X. Angelique is an Australian woman who was held captive for three years in her teens and tortured by the monster who kept her there by way of manipulation and lies.When she met an amazing person in 2017, he decided he had no choice but to free her from her nightmare. Angelique got away, and she and her friend will always be besties, because she knows he saved her.In the bloopers this week, Beth shows that sometimes she can be, as her grandma used to say about other, unnamed people, "dumb as a box o' rocks."We are as always, so grateful that you've stopped by! We've set up chocolate bunny shots on the bar in the BnB parlor, and you are welcome to help yourself before we sit down and get started.Need to know how to make chocolate bunny shots for when you get home? Of course!You need:--6 hollow chocolate bunnies, heads nibbled (or cut) off, chilled (if you want, you can break the heads into pieces to garnish the cocktails, or mortise them so the ears hang off the side of the body. Creepy, but YUM)--4 oz vodka--6 oz Baileys--6 oz KahluaShake or stir the alcohol together and pour into the bunny bodies. These can be kept in the refrigerator for a while, if needed.If you don't garnish with bunny heads, or even if you do, you can top with canned whipped cream. Enjoy!Please share these, because if you have them all yourself, you will be so-so-so sorry tomorrow. Love you!

Happy almost-April Fool's Day at the True Crime BnB, to our little crime fam!After the last few episodes, you're probably looking for a little bit of a break....but you've come to the wrong BnB if that's what you're after. In fact, Bailey is so far from giving us a break that she has found a heartbreaking and maddening case from one of the safest cities in the world: Reykjavik, Iceland.Birna Brjánsdóttir was a 20-year-old with her entire life ahead of her, and a plan on what she wanted to do with it. A sailor on leave near Reykjavik randomly passed her on an early Saturday morning, and that was the end for Birna.She should be remembered, and her story should be shared.Beth brings the survivor story this week, with a woman who was shot four times in the 'kill zone,' and still lived to tell her would-be killer, "I won, and you lost."Yuly Solano met a man at her Florida condominium and when she decided not to date him, he did the unthinkable outside of her home. And when Yuly said he lost; he really lost. He attempted murder-suicide, but only the suicide was successful.Yuly is an amazing woman that you'll be glad you heard about. And if you are in a position to assist her with her over $1,000,000 in medical bills from the surgeries that saved her life, you can find her GoFundMe here: https://gofund.me/ada32743Thank you so much for joining us today.The bloopers this week were ridiculous--hang around after the meowtro!Love you, see you next week!. . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we would love and appreciate any amount of your support at Patreon, here: https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator

Hello and welcome back to our dear Crime Family, we're glad you're here!We're flipping the normal roles this week, with Beth taking the first part of the episode. The setting was Washington State in 1977, and 24 year old Susan Schwarz was being, as always, a very good friend. When her longtime BFF intimated that she wanted to get away from her abusive husband, Susan helped her escape to Minnesota. But when the ex later found out that Susan had 'interfered', he brutally took out his fury on her. Another victim of this awful man was so frightened of his cruelty that she was terrified to tell what she knew. But years later, this woman was the key to putting him away.If the second half of this episode title is stressing you out, it should be. Bailey tells the events that happened in Cline Falls State Park in Oregon in the late 1970's, when two young Yale students stopped there while biking the Trans America Trail. Terri Jentz and Avra Goldman experienced a senseless, brutal attack at the hands of a man who has never faced justice, despite it being commonly believed that the perpetrator is known. But both women survived, thanks to superhuman determination by Terri to get help for herself and her friend. Their story will stay with you for a long time.Happy Friday to all of you; we thank you for joining us again! Have a seat, grab a pastry from the basket, and let's talk about some amazing people who experienced some really terrible things. Because that's what we're here for--to remember them and to share what they went through.

Céad Míle Fáilte (100,000 welcomes) Crime Fam, how was your pre-St. Patty's week? If you had a rough one, like we did, do yourself a favor and listen to this episode, because afterward you will remember how much worse things could be.Bailey is our bad guy with the sad story of Lucie Turmel, a sweet young woman in Banff, Alberta, who was just trying to make a living when she senselessly and tragically became a victim. But the person who hurt her wasn't trying to hurt HER, he was just a complete fool who had misguided ideas about what it means to be successful....or to just look that way. Lucie deserves to be remembered, because she was kind, and sweet, and she was loved.Beth is bringing you week two of "Claustrophobic Nightmares" but this one is also cold. Teri Jendusa-Nicolai had almost no chance to survive. She was gravely injured and put in a circumstance where she should not have come through it. But if that's what you think, you just don't know Teri Jendusa-Nicolai. She is a hometown girl with a fighting spirit, and you're going to love her!So, on this Saint Patrick's Day, May peace be within you, may your heart be strong, may you find what you're seeking, wherever you roam. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ort, to our Irish friends, and our wannabe Irish friends!We love you, and we hope all good things will come to you and yours.

Hi, thanks for stopping by the BnB!This week, we have two wildly different stories, and both of them just left us shaking our heads! Bailey starts things off with the suspicious death of Christian Andreacchio in Mississippi. There was a LOT of weird stuff happening before, during, and after Christian was found deceased, and the fact that authorities immediately ruled it as self-harm does not answer any of the questions that remain. Please-- hear this story out, and let us know what you think happened here.Beth follows behind, in the uplifting story, but this week (well, kind of like it always is...) it's a mixed bag. In order to lift up, we have to first go through an absolutely ghoulish attempt that Michelina Lewandowska's ex-fiancé made to get her out of his life so he could have their son to himself. This woman is an adorable soldier, and she will make you think twice about giving up on anything. We know that it is a gift for you to give us an hour of your time every week, and we thank you, and we love you. And to our dear friends Lyndon and Andy, apologies for the cheeky accented pronunciation of "Huddersfield" in the bloopers. It's all out of affection! Since it's Friday, I hope all of you are headed into a relaxing and fun weekend. Have a glass of wine, on us. For once, we don't need any wine because Puss left us alone to record for maybe the first time ever!

Welcome back, Crime Family, we're glad you're here! This week, Beth brings back installment 9 of Architect Mayhem, with the tragic death of visionary Graham Downes. Graham was a South African Bauhaus-style Architect who transformed San Diego, California, but was cruelly killed by an insecure employee. Bailey lifts up the second half of this episode with the survivor story of Kirby Morrill, a Canadian woman who survived a brutal machete attack on the Appalachian Trail, the 3100 mile / 5000 km hiking odyssey undertaken by thousands of people every year, 75% of whom don't finish it. Unfortunately, Kirby lost a protector and supporter on her journey, and Bailey will tell you all about what a good guy Ron Sanchez, Jr. was and how he helped Kirby out twice before he lost his life. This week, we are sharing the trailer for our friend MaryAnne from Crime Scenes and Cupcakes, a True Crime Podcast, who has one of the best hearts and purest intentions in terms of what she hopes to do with her podcast. She started with the intent to find the killer of her friend Krista Martin, but she is using her voice and investigatory skills to shed light and uncover information on missing persons and unsolved cases, every single week. If you want to support a podcaster who is truly doing the damn thing, you should be supporting MaryAnne. As Kirby said, "Are you going to let a little fear stop you from doing what you want to do in life?"Thank you for joining us, friends, family, and everyone else who finds us here.

Friends, colleagues, and Crime Family--what do you get when a serial rapist isn't put away with hard time? You get two senseless and infuriating murders (at least--maybe more) of Swedish women, who each had their whole lives left to live. Bailey will bring you the stories of Engla Högland and Pernilla Hellegren, who both deserved better, but who were stolen from their lives by the same disturbed man.Beth is in the palate cleanser seat, and is telling you about Doctor Michael Wong. This man is not only a life-changing doctor and patient advocate, he was attacked and nearly killed in the Melbourne, Australia hospital where he was a neurosurgeon. Hospital security is only one of the meaningful causes he now champions, as he invents new ways to save lives, both in the operating theater and amongst his healthcare colleagues. So if you came here today looking for stories of true crime that will both make you grateful for your own safety and also celebrate the survivors amongst us, you've come to the right place. This is what we do at the True Crime BnB. Welcome aboard--we're glad you're here. Now, have a seat, grab a glass, and let's get started.

Hi, Crime Family, happy to see you back this week! This week was Valentine's Day, and in dishonor of the holiday, we are bringing you not one....not Two....but THREE loves gone wrong. And wrong in ways that that average person can't even fathom. Bailey starts us out by telling the story of Gregory Green, who killed his pregnant first wife Tanya Clayton Green. Against the odds, he then was entrusted with a second chance. The problem is, that with his second chance, he committed a horrific family annihilation.... except for leaving his second wife Faith Harris Green alive, just to torture her. This one is brutal and maddening.Beth follows up with a survivor story of a Pacific Northwest artist named Lonnie Feather. She thought that after twenty years, she knew the man who was working his way into her life. Unfortunately, he was a professional and knew how to make her see what he wanted her to see. She survived his attempt to kill her, and you will love her strength and stubbornness--he wasn't taking anything more from her!So get ready for a rough first story, and then a story that will remind you that inside all of us, there is a SURVIVOR. Love all of you, thank you for being here. The bloopers are a hoot this week, and we actually cut out a LOT of Puss interruptions. A LOT. So hang around after the meowtro, it's worth it! See you next week! . . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we would love and appreciate any amount of your support at Patreon, here:https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator

This week for Episode 56, we are taking you on vacation!Just to clarify, the first half of this first episode of Pod Year Two is the story of an island paradise that was tainted by modern crime. Beth is bringing you the story of Italian tourists Dahlia Saiani and Giorgia Busato, who were regular visitors to the Island of Sol in the Cabo Verde archipelago. These two women, along with a 17 year old guest, were visiting the island in 2007 when the two adults were brutally murdered by an ex romantic partner. Had it not been for the survival of teenager Agnese Pace, it's likely that the murders might have never been solved.And Bailey shares the amazing and unlikely survival of Kansas single mom and graphic designer Marti Hill. Marti was attacked and left for dead in her own basement, after her attacker decided she would be easy to kill and then wouldn't be discovered for days. But he was wrong. Marti's website MartiHill.com, where you can also find her memoir "Millimeter From Murder", provides resources to help heal the emotional wounds of violence.At the beginning of this episode, we played the trailer for our friend Patrick, whose Not Adding Up Podcast is always well-researched, well-reasoned, and shines light on cases that aren't as cut and dried as people might want the public to believe. Please check out Not Adding Up, and subscribe, wherever you're listening to us!It's exciting to be starting our second year of podcasting, and we are thankful to all of you who have listened, shared, usand helped us grow!

Crime Family!!!! Can you believe this week is our Podversary!?? We have released every week over the past year, and we're thrilled to still be here! This week Bailey brings us a rough story of a lovely, vibrant life cut short in a senseless crime. Roxanne Wood just happened to live near a guy who was paroled only four months before he snuck into her home and attacked her. It took decades to clear her husband, and to finally find the guilty man. And Beth is following up with a story about the MOST BADASS woman! Get ready for multiple iterations of the phrase, "NOT TODAY, MOTHERF#$%ER!!:" and even if you're offended by that language, you're going to LOVE this survivor!!! She not only saved herself; she is determined to make running, and life in general, more survivable for women who don't want to have a bodyguard or chaperone. Kelly Herron, our heroine, is against letting little misbehaviors pass, because they only lead to bigger misbehaviors in the future. Her website is www.nottodaymf.com and this it definitely worth a visit!! If you want to purchase a 'Not Today MotherF&cker' t-shirt, you can find them at that website or on Amazon.com under the search term "Not Today NTMF".Thank you for helping us to be here for our one-year anniversary. Most new podcasts last about 8-10 episodes, so the fact that you are still here and supporting us means everything!!We love you, we appreciate you, and we hope you'll stick with us through year two.

Dear Crime Family: It's BnB Friday!! And today is another one where we can't wait to tell you our customary two stories, to first touch your heart and then bring you survivors to be proud of and positive about. Bailey found a case that you've surely never heard of: This is the story of a family in the 1980's, who were traveling from California to Massachusetts, and only a fraction of the way home, the 19 year old son disappeared in Wyoming. What people abroad don't always understand is how vast the United States is. And somewhere in the nearly 3,000 mile drive from Huntington Beach, CA to Massachusetts, David Vernon Lovely simply disappeared, and no one would help his family look for him.And Beth is so excited to tell you about the story of two young, badass warriors from California who were individually victimized by a guy who literally had nothing left to lose. But these young women made the decision that the two of them, their sisterhood, was enough. They chose to get each other through their trauma. This case is an illustration of why caring for others is how we survive as individuals.At the start of this episode, we played the trailer for In the Nick of Crime. The cohostesses, Michelle and Courtney, are snarky, funny, kind-hearted, and are 100% in the corner of all victims. So we love them, and we think you will, too. Please check out In the Nick of Crime Podcast, wherever you listen to podcasts.We are so grateful that you have chosen to listen to us, and we thank you. Please grab a glass on your way in, and let's get to telling some stories about true crime.

Hello, welcome back to the BnB! Do you feel it? Spring is in the air!! Or maybe we are just thinking of camping because this episode seems to be RV-centered.Beth starts with the story of the completely inexplicable murders of Cecil and Ruth Bybee, who were seasoned travelers. But the one time they broke their routine, they crossed paths with a man who was having some kind of cold feet, marriage-avoidance crisis. Seriously--this story is so unexplainable that it begs theorization.Then Bailey has a home invasion case where the family did not want to be identified, but you will still feel like you know them. This family in Penhold, Alberta, Canada had three encounters with a seemingly-confused home invader within two days--and lived to tell the tale. They are still healing, but they did what they needed to, to survive.At the beginning of this episode, you heard the trailer of Live, Laugh, Murder. Carmen and Joanna are not only creating a fantastic and entertaining podcast that is 'true crime, sometimes,' but they are genuinely sweet and adorable women that we just love, and we know you will, too. Please check them out and subscribe.

Crime Family, this episode is crazy!!!We're so excited to share this with you!First, your favorite Bad Guy, Bailey, is bringing you an out-of-character story about an 8-year-old who was caught in the middle of over a decade of ridiculous, stalkerish drama that his parents tried to, but were unable to, extricate themselves from. This is the story of the murder of Cremer Young in mid-1960's Shaker Heights, Ohio.But trust us--Beth's story is going to leave you on the right note! Patricia Wenskunas spent her whole life being victimized by one person after another, and knew she had to find a way to end the cycle. And when the person who was supposed to be helping her heal turned out to be a long-game predator who was taking advantage of her vulnerability, she had to rise up and save herself. But she didn't stop there. She has made all the difference to thousands--and don't call them victims: they are SURVIVORS. Patricia's crime survivors' advocacy organization is: https://www.crimesurvivors.org and her public speaking interface is https://patriciawenskunas.com/This story is worth waiting for!Also, at the beginning of the episode, we played the trailer for our friends, pod-buddies, and Beanie Winners M3: Murder, Mystery Mayhem.

Can you believe it?? This is our fiftieth episode, and we thank you, dear Crime Family, for supporting us all these months, and for joining us today! This week starts with Bailey telling the story of Nancy Anderson, who wanted to see more of the world, so she left Bay City, Michigan for a new life in Hawaii. She was making friends, had a job, and was excited about her future until she was attacked in her apartment by a killer, whose identity was not known until this year. That's right, this is another occurrence of DNA bringing a very old, very cold case back to justice.Then Beth doesn't have a survivor story. That's right. Sorry, but she found out that a lot of text/social media scammers are actually not doing it out of their own greedy impulses. So after looking more into this, she covers two cases. One is a man who was taken for over $1M in a texting crypto-scam, and the other story is a man who was promised a good job with good pay, but was ultimately kidnapped and trafficked as a texting crypto-scammer. Learn why not all people who are 'butchering pigs', as the scam bosses call it, are necessarily the real problem. And, in this episode we are announcing the winner of the True Crime BnBeanie! Listen to the end for this announcement as well as our well wishes for a happy and fortuitous 2023! We love you, be happy, be safe, and may your world be peaceful in the new year!. . . . .If you enjoy our show, please rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9e8aa538-d3ee-4823-b2e1-cb1625692e7aYou can find us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, we would love and appreciate any amount of your support at Patreon, here:https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator
