Season 40: America's 250th Anniversary. Fifty states. Fifty crimes. Two hundred and fifty years of Americanhistory, told through the true crime cases that other shows leave behind.New Mexico, 1892. A former sheriff walks into the dark with a man he trusts and never comes home. Illinois, 1871.A former Secretary of State steps off his porch for a midnight train and is shot dead in the street. Both menserved their communities. Both were killed for it. Both were largely forgotten — until now. This is historical truecrime, and tonight both cases are about what happens when political power turns lethal.Case A: Francisco Chavez and the Santa Fe RingFrancisco Chavez was born around 1851 in New Mexico Territory, the son of a family that had shaped this regionfor generations before the American flag flew over Santa Fe's plaza. He was Hispanic, a nuevomexicano, and hebecame sheriff of Santa Fe County at a time when the territory's government had been captured by the Santa FeRing — an informal network of Anglo-American lawyers, politicians, and land speculators who exploited Spanishand Mexican land grants to strip Hispanic families of land they had occupied for generations.At the center of the Ring stood Thomas Catron, a Confederate veteran and Missouri lawyer who arrived in NewMexico in 1866. By the 1890s, Catron had acquired interests in thirty-four land grants totaling approximatelythree million acres — making him, by most accounts, the largest private landowner in the United States. He hadserved as district attorney, territorial attorney general, and U.S. attorney. He owned the territory as surely asanyone could.Chavez stood against him. Historian Tobias Duran, writing in the New Mexico Historical Review, called Chavez aformidable foe of the Santa Fe Ring. He was the rare Hispanic Democrat using the blunt authority of the sheriff'soffice to push back against the most powerful men in the territory.On the night of May 29, 1892, Chavez was lured from a Santa Fe bar by a man named Atilano Gold — someonehe trusted. Gold walked him toward the Guadalupe bridge, near the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe,the oldest shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the United States. Armed men waited behind a telegraph pole.Chavez was shot multiple times. His last words, spoken in Spanish, were that brutes had assassinated him.Four men were indicted: Francisco Gonzales y Borrego, his brother Antonio, Laureano Alarid, and PatricioValencia. Their defense attorney was Thomas Catron — the man widely suspected of ordering the murder,now defending the accused killers. The prosecution's key witness, Juan Gallegos, testified that a $700 paymenthad been offered through intermediaries for Chavez's death. Judge Seeds ruled that he did not believe Catronpersonally made the offer, but accepted the conspiracy existed. That distinction shielded Catron from criminalliability.All four defendants were convicted and sentenced to death. Appeals dragged on for nearly five years. On April2, 1897, they were hanged simultaneously at the Santa Fe jail grounds. Forty-five National Guard soldiers werepresent. At 9:09 AM, the trap bolt was drawn. Three necks broke on impact. Patricio Valencia strangled for threeto four minutes before he died.Thomas Catron was never charged. When New Mexico achieved statehood in 1912, the territory he had helpedplunder elected him as one of its first two United States Senators. He died in 1921. A former senator. Nevercharged. Never tried.Case B: Sharon Tyndale and the Seal That Outlasted HimSharon Tyndale was born in Philadelphia on January 19, 1816. He arrived in Belleville, Illinois in 1833 — the sameyear Chicago was incorporated as a town — and spent the next three decades building railroads and building acareer. Abraham Lincoln personally appointed him Postmaster of Belleville in 1861. When Lincoln was assassinatedin 1865, Tyndale was among the committee members who received the president's coffin in Springfield. He wasone of the original fifteen members of the National Lincoln Monument Association, the group that built Lincoln'stomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.In 1865, Tyndale was elected Illinois Secretary of State. His younger brother Hector had bled for the Union atAntietam, was promoted to brigadier general, and was later breveted major general for gallantry. The family'sloyalty to the Union was bone-deep.In 1867, the Illinois legislature authorized a new state seal. Tyndale proposed reversing the state motto from "StateSovereignty, National Union" to "National Union, State Sovereignty." The Civil War had settled that question withblood. The Senate rejected his proposal. So the legislature gave him the wording and handed him the design.Tyndale kept the words in their mandated order. But he designed the banner in the eagle's beak to twist, placingthe word "Sovereignty" upside down. The seal entered use in 1868. More than a hundred and fifty years later, theword "Sovereignty" still hangs inverted on the Great Seal of the State of Illinois.On April 29, 1871, two years after leaving office, Tyndale walked out of his home on Adams Street in Springfieldjust after one in the morning, heading to the Chicago & Alton railroad station for a 1:50 AM train. On the darkstreet, steps from his own front door, someone clubbed him to the ground and shot him behind the right ear witha single-shot Derringer — the same type of weapon used to kill Abraham Lincoln six years earlier. His $50 walletwas taken. His gold watch was not. His killer was never identified.A five-thousand-dollar reward went unclaimed. Four theories competed — robbery, romantic entanglement,political enemies, railroad business dispute — and the competition destroyed the investigation. The 1929 IllinoisState Journal concluded the welter of possible motives had hindered the case. No arrest was ever made.The seal lives on. Every official document issued by the State of Illinois, every state flag that flies over Springfield,still carries the handiwork of a man who was murdered two years after completing it.Our Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

How can a boutique consultancy scale beyond founder-led growth without losing the culture that made it successful?Rob Ferrone is a product data and PLM strategy advisor who founded and led Quick Release, a specialist engineering consultancy focused on product data management and product data flow. In this episode, he explains how the firm grew through referrals before developing a structured, consultative approach to business development and expanding to more than 200 people across the UK, US, Europe and Australia.Rob discusses how technical consultants learned to contribute to sales by diagnosing customer issues, consequences and value rather than relying on conventional sales techniques. He also shares lessons from international expansion, including the importance of repeatable recruitment, cultural ambassadors, clear leadership responsibilities and greater employee autonomy. The conversation examines Quick Release's acquisition by ALTEN, the value of preparing for a sale before a buyer appears, and the operational foundations that can reduce acquisition risk. Rob also introduces his latest startup work, which uses AI to improve employee engagement, insight gathering and communication during transformation programmes.In This Episode You Will Learn:How to move beyond referrals and founder-led sellingWhy consultative sales methods work well for technical teamsHow regular practice improves pitches and objection handlingWhy recruitment and culture become critical during international growthHow clearer leadership responsibilities can reduce scaling frictionChapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:37) Quick Release Origin Story(02:55) From Referrals to Sales(05:12) Scaling Beyond Founders(07:03) Training Technical Sellers(08:39) Practice and Objections(12:03) Growing Pains at Scale(15:07) Culture Across Countries(16:22) Lessons and Mistakes(20:27) Selling to Alton(27:11) Final AdviceResources:Connect with Rob  on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-ferroneLearn more about Quick Release:https://quickrelease.co.uk/Send us Fan MailProf. Joe O'Mahoney helps boutique consultancies scale and exit. Follow Joe on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeomahoney/Follow Joe on Twitter:https://twitter.com/joeomahoneyVisit Joe's Website:https://www.equitysherpa.com

TWO KILOS OF POT A rising nine-piece rock band from San Diego, California, Freedom Quest seemed destined for success in 1973 --until their promising future was derailed by one of their own roadies, who was working undercover for the DEA. LEADER OF THE PACK The band's leader, Craig Ingraham, served six weeks at a federal prison farm camp. By the time he was released, the band had dissolved, and his girlfriend and fellow band member Debora Masterson ended their relationship, sending Craig spiraling on a years-long journey that led him to join a cult in Hawaii. A CULT IN HAWAII AND DEATH IN THAILAND After escaping the cult, Craig returned to California to rebuild his life. In a remarkable twist, the cult's leader was gunned down in Thailand by a scorned lover. TRUE LOVE REUNITES Years later, Craig was reunited with Debora, who, in 2026, wrote and published a gripping book about Freedom Quest, the cult, and the enduring love story she shared with Craig. A MUSIC ADVENTURE Debora joins Team Derringer - Laura, Alton, Rob, and Paul - for this fascinating episode to discuss these extraordinary events. Along the way, you'll also discover Freedom Quest's connections to Vince Guaraldi, Three Dog Night, The Righteous Brothers, Christopher Cross, and the Vietnam War through the documented story of one of Craig's close friends who lost his life in the conflict.

Nicole Shiman is Managing Director and Regional Head of EDENS Florida, where she oversees one of the most important open-air retail portfolios in the state and leads all new acquisition and development activity, from Fifth & Alton on South Beach to Downtown Palm Beach Gardens.She joined us over a Maestro Dobel 50 Cristalino Paloma, and the conversation went down just as smooth. We trace her path from growing up in Toronto to the Richard Ivey School of Business, consulting at BCG in Toronto, New York, and Miami, an MBA at Harvard, and deal-making at 13th Floor Investments before EDENS tapped her in 2016 to run Florida. Along the way we get into why everyone who wrote retail's obituary was wrong, how she picks the restaurants and brands she bets on, and what "enriching community through human engagement" actually means when you're underwriting a shopping center.And because nobody runs a statewide portfolio alone, we close on the person behind the deals: a proud Canadian, a mom of three, and someone who still believes a great shopping center should feel like the center of a neighborhood.Pour yourself a Paloma and settle in. This one's a fun one.Connect with usWant to dive deeper into Miami's commercial real estate scene?

What does success look like to your best PM right now? Do you know? Alton Tew spent 46 years in construction — 25 of them building Samet Corporation's multifamily division into a $500 million operation that turned over 3,500 units a year. In this conversation, he shares the leadership principles that drove it: the 90-day check-in that keeps high-potential talent from leaving, how to stay calm when a job site goes sideways, and what his final year looked like as he handed off a 170-person division to the next generation. Simple ideas. Hard to execute. Essential to get right.
