During Thanksgiving break in the fall of 1969, 22-year-old Betsy Aardsma returned early to the campus of Penn State University to finish an important English project. Shortly after Betsy and her roommate walked to the library on campus, the sound of falling books and bookshelves startled those in the building. As people rushed to the middle of the library to see what had happened, Betsy was found lying under the pile of books that had crashed to the floor. She was taken to the campus hospital, but ultimately succumbed to her injury – a single stab wound that had pierced her chest.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/campus-crime-chronicles/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

 On Nov. 28, 1969, Betsy Aardsma, a 22-year-old graduate student in English at Penn State, was stabbed to death in the stacks of Pattee Library at the university's main campus in State College. For more than forty years, her murder went unsolved, though detectives with the Pennsylvania State Police and local citizens worked tirelessly to find her killer. The mystery was eventually solved—after the death of the murderer. This book will reveal the story behind what has been a scary mystery for generations of Penn State students and explain why the Pennsylvania State Police failed to bring her killer to justice.More than a simple true crime story, the book weaves together the events, culture, and attitudes of the late 1960s, memorializing Betsy Aardsma and her time and place in history. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Later, John gets into the disappearance of 16-year old Molly Bish, who vanished from her lifeguard post at Comins Pond in Warren, MA in 2000. Her body was found a few years later in Nearby Palmer, but her case remains open with no real suspects to speak of.

 On Nov. 28, 1969, Betsy Aardsma, a 22-year-old graduate student in English at Penn State, was stabbed to death in the stacks of Pattee Library at the university’s main campus in State College.  For more than forty years, her murder went unsolved, though detectives with the Pennsylvania State Police and local citizens worked tirelessly to find her killer. The mystery was eventually solved—after the death of the murderer. This book will reveal the story behind what has been a scary mystery for generations of Penn State students and explain why the Pennsylvania State Police failed to bring her killer to justice.More than a simple true crime story, the book weaves together the events, culture, and attitudes of the late 1960s, memorializing Betsy Aardsma and her time and place in history.

Betsy Aardsma was a young, talented, socially-conscious woman in 1969, when her life was cut tragically short in the Pattee Library at Penn State University. It was the Thanksgiving holidays, and most students had gone home to be with family. Aardsma was working on a paper and had ventured to the library to get some research done. Between 4:45 and 5:00 in the evening, Betsy was approached from behind in the stacks of the library and was stabbed a single time in the chest with a hunting knife. She died minutes later, before she was even discovered, and the weird thing was: nobody heard anything whatsoever. Two men were seen leaving the library shortly after her death, and one even told the desk clerk, "Somebody better help that girl." Betsy Aardsma was pronounced dead on arrival. She will forever be known as the girl who was killed in the library at Penn State, and her murder, to this day, remains completely and utterly unsolved.  Here is the most complete resource on the death of Betsy Aardma.   The Man Under the Bed A 16-year-old in Chester, England began receiving texts from her stalker on what would have otherwise been a normal night in 2014. The man, 18-year-old Kyle Ravenscroft, was obsessed with the 16-year-old victim, and began telling her how he was going to hang himself from her window. At midnight, he said he was "inside her house." The girl, understandably, freaked out. She went to go stay with her mom, and when she came back to the bedroom, she found some shoeboxes she normally kept by her bed disturbed. Under the bed, the victim found Ravenscroft, who had been hiding there the ENTIRE TIME. He was charged and sentenced pretty lightly, given the fact that his victim will forever have to check under the bed before being able to get any sleep at all. A really great article goes into depth about the whole situation. Theme: "Ten" by DJ Sun You can find my books on Amazon, as well.

On Nov. 28, 1969, Betsy Aardsma, a 22-year-old graduate student in English at Penn State, was stabbed to death in the stacks of Pattee Library at the university’s main campus in State College.  For more than forty years, her murder went unsolved, though detectives with the Pennsylvania State Police and local citizens worked tirelessly to find her killer. The mystery was eventually solved—after the death of the murderer. This book will reveal the story behind what has been a scary mystery for generations of Penn State students and explain why the Pennsylvania State Police failed to bring her killer to justice. More than a simple true crime story, the book weaves together the events, culture, and attitudes of the late 1960s, memorializing Betsy Aardsma and her time and place in history. David DeKok is the author of Fire Underground: The Ongoing Tragedy of the Centralia Mine Fire (Globe Pequot Press), which previously appeared as Unseen Danger. A former award-winning investigative reporter for the Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, he has been a guest on Fresh Air and The Diane Rehm Show. In 2009, he appeared at length in Episode 6 of the History Channel’s Life After People series discussing Centralia, Pennsylvania.
