In the early 70s, no fewer than six young girls were abducted from the streets of Washington, D.C. Their bodies were discovered weeks to sometimes only hours later, most discovered along the Baltimore-Washington Parkway in Prince George's County, Maryland. Since the answer to who might have been behind the crimes remained elusive, he was assigned a name to represent that evasiveness-- the Freeway Phantom.BLENDJET2: Go to blendjet.com and use code coffeeandcases12 to save 12% off your order OR use my special link and the discount will be applied at checkout: zen.ai/coffeeandcases12ZENCASTR: Use my special link zen.ai/coffeeandcases and use code coffeeandcases to save 30% off your first three months of Zencastr professional. #madeonzencastrPAPERLIKE: From now until the end of January, get a free digital pro planner bundle AND free shipping.

U.S. Representative Gladys Noon Spellman was a civic-minded Maryland school teacher and PTA advocate when she signed onto a reform slate running for the Prince George's County commission in 1962. She became the first woman on the commission and by 1966. In her legislative tenure, Spellman fought for cost-of-living raises against making the civil-service more vulnerable to political swings. Today, the memory of Gladys Noon Spellman is kept alive by the Maryland stretch of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway named in her honor.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Neil Clark, a journalist and broadcaster whose work has appeared in The Guardian, The Week, and Morning Star.Elections for the European Parliament are over and the results are not nearly as clear cut as many observers had expected. In the UK, the results held true to public opinion polls, with Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party finishing first with more than 35 percent of the vote. Elsewhere around Europe in the European Parliamentary election, the anticipated right-wing tide never materialized, and although more nationalists were elected to the body, the Greens also finished very strongly. In the end, pro-Europeanists still control the majority. Independent journalist Diani Barreto and Alexander Mercouris, the editor-in-chief of The Duran, join the show. Cybercriminals--extortionists--have terrorized Baltimore over the past three weeks, freezing thousands of city computers, freezing emails, and disrupting everything from real estate transactions to water bills. But the kicker in this computer ransom attack is that the malware being used to do it was developed just down the Baltimore-Washington Parkway at NSA, which lost control of the program in 2017. Brian and John speak with web developer and technologist Chris Garaffa. Fighting in the last rebel-held stronghold in Syria continued today. Syrian government forces have been closing in on Idlib for the past month, and the United Nations estimates that nearly 1,000 civilians have been killed or wounded there in that period. Idlib is controlled by the Tahrir al-Sham group, formerly known as the al-Nusra Front, al-Qaeda’s military wing in Syria. And the group’s leader is calling on Turkish forces for assistance. Meanwhile, the Syrian government and Israel had an especially intense exchange of fire over the weekend. Rick Sterling, an investigative journalist and member of the Syria Solidarity Movement, joins the show. During a trip to Japan over the weekend, President Trump insisted that the peace talks with North Korea are still on and made a series of comments that generated major controversy in the United States. Simone Chun, a fellow at the Korea Policy Institute and a member of the Korean Peace Network, joins Brian and John. Tuesday’s weekly series is False Profits—A Weekly Look at Wall Street and Corporate Capitalism with Daniel Sankey. Brian and John speak with financial policy analyst Daniel Sankey.Today’s regular segment that airs every Tuesday is called Women & Society with Dr. Hannah Dickinson.

SCARY MYSTERIES - TWISTED TWO's: The Death of Michael Hastings and The Freeway Phantom Tales of hauntings, murder and scary mysteries, Every week Twisted Two's dives into a pair of uniquely terrifying true stories that are worthy of a more in depth look. For this week we focus on a suspicious and mysterious death and a killer who hunted for young girls. Get ready for Scary Mysteries, Twisted Two’s #1 The Death of Michael Hastings Young and at the peak of his career, the death of journalist and reporter Michael Hastings sent conspiracy theorists into overdrive. Michael Hastings was born in Malone, New York and stayed there until he was 11, together with his parents and his two brothers, Jeff and Jon. While he was young, Hastings already showed an inclination towards journalism and writing – along with a strong political stance. He began his journalism career in Newsweek in 2002, where he served as an unpaid intern. At the same time, he contributed articles to Gentlemen's Quarterly and was a contributing editor at the Rolling Stone magazine. In 2008, he wrote his first book, I Lost My Love in Baghdad chronicling how he lost his then fiancé, Andrea Parhamovich, (a spokeswoman for the National Democratic Institute) after her convoy was attacked by militants, killing her and her three security guards. The Freeway Phantom From 1971 to 1972, the Freeway Phantom abducted and killed 6 young victims. Every single one was a black female and under 18 years old. The first victim was 13-year old, Carol Spinks. She disappeared on April 25, 1971 after walking home from buying groceries at a 7-11 located half a mile from her home. Her body was found after six days on a grassy embankment along the highway. Several months later, 16-year old Darlenia Johnson's body was found just 15 feet away from where the first victim was found. Darlenia disappeared while heading to her summer job on July 8. Over a week later, 10-year old Brenda Crockette, was abducted after her mother sent her to the store. Three hours later, Brenda phoned home crying. She said that "A white man picked me up, and I'm heading home in a cab." She also added she believed she was somewhere in Virginia, then abruptly said goodbye. Her body was later found dumped near Baltimore-Washington Parkway. She was raped and strangled using a scarf. Even though Brenda said she was taken by a white man, police believe it was the killer that urged Brenda to call her family and fed her the lines she was supposed to say. Witness reports said that Brenda was spotted with a black male soon after she disappeared. In 2009, possible DNA evidence was recovered on the case of Diane Williams but until today, the case of the Freeway Phantom remains unsolved and open. So there were a two of the most mysterious & Murderous stories around. The world can be a crazy place and Twisted Two’s is sure to show you why.

The handwritten note said, “This is tantamount to my insensititivity (sic) to people especially women. I will admit the others when you catch me if you can! Free-Way Phantom.” The note was found inside the pocket of the maroon-colored coat that had been draped over the deceased 18-year-old woman. A police officer, patrolling the Baltimore Washington Parkway at about 4:50 AM, found the body of Brenda Denise Woodard lying off the shoulder of the road, not far from the Route 202/Cheverly Exit. Her body was still warm. Brenda Woodard was not the first victim of the Freeway Phantom and unfortunately she wouldn’t be his last.

Matt Carroll did not follow a typical path to becoming a Superintendent with the National Park Service.  During a full career with the Air Force, Matt picked up all the skills he would need to be a Park Superintendent; management, budgets, leadership, operations and more. He also volunteered with the National Park Service for many years before he retired from the Air Force.  Typically, by the time a ranger becomes a superintendent, he or she has been immersed in the culture of the park service for years. Matt came in from the outside to the role of Superintendent of Greenbelt Park and Baltimore-Washington Parkway.  Shortly after joining the Greenbelt Parkway, Matt developed a list of 2016 Superintendent Priorities. Matt posted the priorities at Park Headquarters so park staff, volunteers, and visitors could see them.  Here are the 2016 Superintendent Priorities for the Greenbelt Park and Baltimore-Washington Parkway; Improve Visitor Experience, Customer Support & Partnerships Institute Sound Business Practices Foster a Culture of Safety in Daily Operations Ensure Good Stewardship of Park Resources and Facilities Develop and Support a Professional Workforce
