What Happens in the Woods

Hello, campers, and welcome to our mid-season episode. Once again, Jess has an old-timey crime for us to delve into. This episode contains information from author Steven C. Drielak's book, Long Island's Vanished Heiress: The Unsolved Alice Parsons Kidnapping.On June 9, 1937, Alice McDonell Parsons disappeared from the farm she and her husband ran in Long Island, with the help of their housekeeper, Anna Kupryanova. While not social darlings, both Alice and William Parsons were connected to wealthy families. Alice had recently been left with money and investments that would secure her future. Still, a change in her will made less than 30 days before her disappearance would indicate an interesting dynamic within the Parsons household.Sadly, neither the local agencies nor the FBI were able to outsmart the responsible persons. Although there is a consensus on how the events went down, almost 90 years later Alice Parsons disappearance remains unsolved. Information from this episode:Long Island's Vanished Heiress: The Unsolved Alice Parsons Kidnapping:Drielak, Steven C.

Bonus episode...We are releasing our WTF Wednesdays on Patreon to the public! I told Jess that the regular public is not ready for this. To our Patreon fans, we love you. Thank you! We will be back on the first Friday of February with a brand-new episodeSo sit back and relax and enjoy the Fuckery!True crime stories that will make you say WTF and fun facts with Aunt Cass! 

Welcome to another new episode! This week, we discuss a case that could easily define the term “legacy”. When 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was abducted and murdered, no one could have imagined just how the world would be changed because of the crime.Amber is remembered by friends and family as a bright, kind and energetic young girl. But for the United States and in some way, many other countries across the globe, her legacy lives on in the AMBER Alert system. Over one thousand children have been saved from abduction and returned to their families because of this system.Join us as we discuss this precious little girl and how she lives on through the emergency alert system that bares her name.Sadly, Amber's case has never been solved and the man responsible has not been brought to justice. It's been 29 years and there is still hope that it can be solved.If anyone has information on Amber's abduction or murder, there is a number to call. 817-575-8823 will connect you to the Arlington Police Department.This week, we featured a sneak peek into another podcast. Please give Simone with 90s Crime Time a listen. It is available anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Hello, campers! Get ready for this week's episode to ring in the new year! We hope everyone had a fun and safe start to 2025. We can't wait to see what's in store!This week takes us back almost a century to a case from Long Island, New York. In 1935, Ada Appelgate passed away from a mysterious illness after suffering from heart and health issues for years. The 38-year-old wife and mother were almost laid to rest until some anonymous information made its way to police.

Hey, campers! Welcome back to the campfire for our latest episode. Before we wrap up 2024, Jess brings a case to discuss that showcases the downfalls of the system. In August of 2021, an armed intruder would enter the home of Travis and Jamilyn Juetten. The couple was due to leave for a 2-week vacation to Hawaii which would never happen after the events in that early morning tragedy. Lives were lost and changed forever. But was it all preventable? The family says absolutely, it was and is now suing Marion County, Oregon to hold them accountable.Join us as we take a look at this case and how it might have been prevented from happening. Share your thoughts with us on social media or by email.Happy Holidays, campers!

At the age of 26, Aaron Ybarra had years of mental health struggles and a problem with substance abuse. He was tired of not being taken seriously and had a hatred of the world. His answer was to cause as much suffering before taking his own life. On June 5, 2014, Ybarra walked onto the Seattle Pacific University campus with a shotgun and 50 rounds of ammunition, a hunting knife, and the urge to kill as many people as he could. Sadly, he did succeed in taking one life and injuring several others, but thanks to a heroic person on campus that day, was stopped before he could do more.Join us as we take a look at this mass shooting and the “mastermind” behind it.Information from this episodehttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/suspected-gunman-aaron-ybarra-admits-seattle-college-rampage-police-n12493https://www.columbian.com/news/2014/jun/07/court-documents-paint-dark-side-of-suspect-in-seat/https://schoolshooters.info/sites/default/files/Washington_v_Ybarra_2014.pdfhttps://www.king5.com/article/news/local/timeline-seattle-pacific-university-shooting/281-244056933https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1227630-aaron-ybarra-journalhttps://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/paul-lee-a-young-man-with-lsquoinfectious-positive-attitudersquo/https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/court-releases-video-from-spu-shooting-showing-students-heroic-actions/244202869https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/2-washington-residents-including-spu-shooting-hero-honored-by-congressional-medal-of-honor-societyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM99Iq7kTeM&t=503s

Your favorite podcast is back for a new season!We've had some time to recharge and regroup and we are ready to get back into true crime cases from the PNW. This episode takes us back to the early 1900s in Oregon, where a charismatic religious man was able to start a Holy Roller sect in the small community of Corvallis. Franz Edmund Creffield believed he was the new messiah and it was his job, his responsibility, to find the one lucky lady who would be the mother to the second Christ. His antics caused many issues with the men of the area and the local law enforcement.Join Brice and Jess for the season 6 opener of the podcast!

The Canadian Greyhound Bus Cannibal Hello, friends! Join Jess, Brice, and our special guest Dean around the campfire while Mara takes the reins and tells us about the shocking case of the killing of young Tim McLean. Tim McLean was just 22 years old when he boarded Greyhound bus 1170 bound for Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. On the fateful day of July 30th, 2008, he lost his life to Vince Li. Mara tells us about the stabbing and eventual cannibalism that led to a standoff with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. Li was finally taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder but he would not be found criminally responsible for the crime due to mental illness. We discuss the profound impact this case had on the passengers of the bus and the family of the victim. Was justice served for McLean and his family? Should Li be able to rejoin society? Listen to the episode and don't forget to give us your thoughts!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLeanhttps://web.archive.org/web/20080810005604/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080805.wbus06/BNStory/National/homechrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/3458881/Manitoba-Criminal-Code-Review-Board-decision.pdfhttps://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-tim-mclean-greyhound/jen-jeffershttps://nypost.com/2017/02/11/man-who-beheaded-bus-passenger-granted-total-freedom/https://web.archive.org/web/20090315135511/http://www.edmontonjournal.com/Health/Beheader%2Bcriminally%2Bresponsible/1356476/story.htmlhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/greyhound-killer-believed-man-he-beheaded-was-an-alien-1.1131575https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/the-scream-that-haunts-the-forgotten-passengers-of-bus-1170/article1372244/?page=allhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/40-year-old-suspect-held-in-gruesome-manitoba-bus-killing-1.705008https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/greyhound-beheading-10th-anniversary-1.4760074https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/mother-of-tim-mclean-ends-petition-to-change-law-1.2502104https://globalnews.ca/news/1855998/timeline-of-decisions-in-the-case-of-vince-li/

Welcome back Campers. We give an update on episodes and what is happening in the Woods. Our recent collaborations and future collaborations.In this episode, we have a guest, Carmita Thompson. Carmita is the host of Missing in the PNW Podcast. She will tell us the story of Esmerelda "Kit" Mora. Kit is an LGBTQ 17-year-old who is two-spirit, non-binary, asexual, and uses they/them pronouns. They had a horrible childhood growing up with an abusive and neglectful mother who never reported them missing. Nobody has heard from Kit since November 2021 but the cops went to their mom's house in September and she told them Kit "ran away" in April.Please let us know if you have any information on this case or let us know your thoughts on this case or if you have any suggestions for a case.

It's 1989 and Sgt. Bill Foulk purchased a home in one of Tacoma's worst neighborhoods. The street was home to one of the most notorious street gangs Washington has ever known, the hilltop street gang. Sgt Foulk and his neighbors witnessed numerous drug deals and illegal activities and reported this to authorities several times. But when that failed to garner a police response Sgt. Foulk had no problem confronting The Hilltop crips himself. They were tired of Sgt. Foulk's threats, the Crips threatened and ambushed Sgt. Foulks' house but not before he invited some of his friends from the 2nd ranger battalion to his house for a BBQ and after 10 minutes and more than 300 rounds had been fired the Crips soon realized they were in a fight for their lives!!!!https://www.military.com/history/time-army-rangers-got-gunfight-crips-street-gang.htmlhttps://www.q13fox.com/news/army-ranger-veteran-remembers-defending-his-home-against-alleged-gang-attack-in-tacoma-shootouthttps://www.q13fox.com/news/tacoma-homicides-up-more-than-50-over-same-period-in-2021https://apnews.com/article/ecea5c7982345f184064facf5433330dhttps://www.macrotrends.net/cities/us/wa/tacoma/crime-rate-statisticshttps://sofrep.com/news/ranger-legends-ash-street-shootout/https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/dec/30/after-17-years-tacoma-police-chief-with-good-heart/https://www.southsoundtalk.com/2019/04/05/ranger-ash-street-shootout-remains-part-of-tacomas-gang-lore/https://nwgangs.proboards.com/thread/41/hilltop-crip-ganghttps://youtu.be/HxgJ8AnobGEhttps://www.army.mil/ranger/

We continue our collaboration with the True Crime Cat Lawyer Podcast with a case that rocked the small community of Dixmoor, Illinois in the early 1990s.5 teenage boys were accused and convicted of the brutal murder and sexual assault of their young 14-year-old classmate, Cateresa Matthews. But did any of them actually commit the crime? Cateresa Matthews and her family deserved to have justice, and eventually, justice did come, but it was at the expense of all the lives involved. The 5 boys wrongfully convicted of this crime, Robert Lee Veal, Jonathan Barr, Robert Taylor, Shainne Sharp and James Harden, all suffered at the hands of the justice system. Join us for part two in our Wrongfully Convicted series opener, with our friends Elyse and Winston, where Elyse will get into the legal aspects of this case.

DNA has been a marvelous tool in forensic science for around 20 years now. It has helped solve cold cases, long thought to be unsolvable. Used to fight wrongful convictions where there was little hope of the truth ever surfacing. But it has also been used to point to guilty people who hope to escape the criminal system.One of the true crime's most well-known Detectives, Robert Keppel, who is known for his contributions to Ted Bundy's investigations, takes center stage in working on one of the cases we will discuss.In this episode, we introduce you to a criminal that assaulted and tortured his victims until they died in the most horrible ways. Even one of Washington's most seasoned detectives was stunned at the disgusting crimes and the scenes. While Morris Frampton was thankfully caught very quickly after being suspected in the brutal murders of Iantha Buchanan and Rosemary Stuart in 1977, the age of DNA evidence caught up with Frampton and brought justice for the family of a 3rd victim from 1976, Agnes Williams. Join us for our Season 4 Finale Episode, as we give you a wonderful example of just how important DNA is and what happens when the justice system gets things right.Information from this episode: * As mentioned at the end of the episode, we will of course cite our sources for information relayed in this episode. However, due to the graphic nature of the crime scene photos released of the victims, and what we felt was a lack of respect for Iantha Buchanan and Rosemary Stuart, we will not provide any links to the websites where the photos of the crime scene are displayed.The little we know about Morris Framptonhttps://bit.ly/3LC4b0hImgur.com- Morris Frampton's grisly crime scenesDocumentingreality.com- Morris Frampton, Washington Serial KillerFrampton's Appealhttps://bit.ly/3K1Ki27The past catches up to Framptonhttps://bit.ly/3NPiMHEhttps://bit.ly/374gYcWhttps://bit.ly/3tYomzBInfo on Robert Keppelhttps://bit.ly/3iWir7Qhttps://oxygen.tv/3Lvil38Books that Keppel helped write on the topic of serial killers:Serial Violence: Analysis of Modus Operandi and Signature Characteristics of Killers (Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations)https://amzn.to/3tUYmoGForensic Psychology: Podcast that interviewed Detective Mike Ciesnyskihttps://bit.ly/3qVyJ5f

We have covered a lot of cases over the past few seasons that have left us scratching our heads and with little trust in the justice system. This one is no different.When Steve Titus was pulled over by police after a night out with his fiance, he fully cooperated with them, never thinking it would come back later and ruin his life. Just 2 short days later, he was in custody and facing sexual assault charges. He maintained his innocence throughout his statements, his arrest, and ultimately his trial. There are so many red flags, beginning with inconsistencies in the victim's statement and the timeline to evidence that doesn't match what the prosecutors claim happened. If it wasn't for the work of one journalist, Steve Titus may never have been acquitted of all charges in July of 1981.While thankfully, his conviction was overturned, there are many that were not as fortunate. Even so, his life was never the same.Information from this episodeWiki Page on Steve Titushttps://bit.ly/3u6HREWThe National Registry of Exonerationshttps://bit.ly/34RTuHdPaul Henderson's article “One Man's Battle to Clear His Name”https://bit.ly/34QnJ12“Looking back at Titus Case”https://bit.ly/3Img9J6

His victims were unlucky women who met with a horrible end at the hands of a sociopath.Join us for a look at the man known on the streets of Seattle as “Chilly Willy” and his 3 known victims; Denise Harris, Antoinette Jones, and Olivia Smith.Are there more out there we don't know about?

Every February, in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, we celebrate Black History Month. Since 1969, the US has observed this to some degree or another to spread education about the African-American Community. It hasn't always been met with enthusiasm, but it continued to grow in momentum and still does to this day. In recent years, it has become even more important as the right to freedom and equality carries on.We wanted to take this week's episode as an opportunity to speak about a prominent member of the African-American community who had lived and died for his beliefs. Edwin T. Pratt would make it his life's work to help his community and fellow man, searching to help end segregation in schools, help people of color find affordable and decent housing and be able to afford to support their families by earning a good wage. He was a huge believer in getting an education and always preached that violence was not the answer. He is remembered as being charismatic, intelligent and a large presence in any room. His work in the 1950s and '60s with the National Urban League has assured him a legacy in the Seattle area. It is this legacy that would contribute to the shortness of his life. He was assassinated at the front door to his home in Shoreline, Washington on January 26, 1969. He was only 38 years old.He left behind a wife, a young daughter, and numerous friends and family who grieved for the life that was lost, as well as the one he should have lived. His work may have ended, but his legacy lives on. In this episode, we honor Edwin T. Pratt for his work in the Civil Rights Movement and the accomplishments he made in the PNW.Information from this episode:https://bit.ly/3oWOZlrDonations to this site help fund education of African Americans who have contributed to the history of black people.

Season 4 is halfway through! We have a puzzling case for you this time. Who murdered Michael Johnston and his secret girlfriend That Chelle Robinson?

Our topic of discussion this episode is one that is a tough subject to cover. Rape is a horrific crime, that can happen to anyone. It leaves very long lasting effects upon its victims. From the years 1978 to 1981 women in Spokane were being terrorized by a rapist who was held unchecked. The media didn't report it until well after a year of the crimes beginning. The police didn't have the funding, the manpower or the resources to handle catching this criminal. But it only takes one lucky lead to make or break a case. That lead finally came for detectives when a certain car was spotted multiple times in areas where the assaults had occurred.Frederick “Kevin” Coe, or Coco as his mom nicknamed him, was the unlikeliest of suspects, yet when those who knew him learned of his arrest, no one but his family thought him innocent. It is assumed that Coe was responsible for over 40 rapes, but who knows how many untold victims he has left in his wake. The women who survived his attacks are survivors in every sense of the word. We wish them well.This is the sordid story of The South Hill Rapist, Kevin Coe.

We wish you all well and want to again thank everyone for listening and supporting our little podcast endeavor!Our fourth episode this season is a little different from the normal serial killers we cover. In this episode, we will delve into one of the most prolific serial arsonists in US history. There are many others who have set more fires, however, what this arsonist was able to accomplish in just 6 short months set the greater Seattle area on high alert and sent firefighters into a panic as there was no end in sight.Multiple families lost their homes and all their belongings, people lost businesses and ultimately 3 lives would be lost after a retirement home was targeted. The destruction would be estimated at around $40 million in total. Because of the ghostlike ability, the arsonist had to move from place to place while remaining unseen, he was given the nickname Spector.Ultimately, it was a risky maneuver by the Sno-King Arson Task Force that brought an end to this arsonist. It was a risk that paid off and led to the capture of 27-year-old Paul Keller in February of 1993.Let us know your thoughts on this case!Paul's very small Wikipedia pagehttps://bit.ly/3mcYBqCUnknown arsonist on the loosehttps://bit.ly/3p65Xylhttps://bit.ly/3E0YxQZAfter the Spector is foundhttps://bit.ly/3E601tohttps://bit.ly/3J8fCfMhttps://bit.ly/3oZULDbhttps://bit.ly/3mf6Hzkhttps://bit.ly/325ZDOnhttps://bit.ly/3p068uWCollecting the rewardhttps://bit.ly/3dYnz8Hhttps://bit.ly/3mfqUoFSno-King Arson Task Force recognizedhttps://bit.ly/3sbJO3xRecommended to read and watch:The Anatomy of Motive: The FBI's Legendary Mindhunter Explore The Key to Understanding and Catching Violent Criminals by John Douglas and Mark Olshakerhttps://bit.ly/3GPrlOfEvil Lives Here, Season 2 Episode 1 “Not My Boy”Included with the Discovery+ app, or available on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3F7D8a2Not Our Son, 1995 starring Neil Patrick Harris as Paul Keller and Gerald McRaney as George KellerPart 1- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZghZXvhUo8Part 2- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjBZaT5xAJMPart 3- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wR-XB9YTBoAn article on the making of the moviehttps://bit.ly/3styCQ3
