Het is de Internationale Maand van de Vrouw en dus deze keer in Moord Podcast aandacht voor de briljante, immer in het zwart gestoken, Amerikaanse advocate Grace Quackenbos aka Mevrouw Sherlock Holmes. ⁠ .⁠ In 1905 wordt Antoinette Tolla ter dood veroordeeld voor de laffe moord op brave huisvader Joseph Santa. Of... was het zelfverdediging en was Joseph Santo een akelige rotzak met losse handjes die haar met de dood bedreigde? Maar waar is zijn pistool dan gebleven....? Mevrouw Sherlock Holmes schiet te hulp!⁠ Ik las als voorbereiding voor deze aflevering zoals gewoonlijk een heleboel oude kranten en bovendien het amusante boek Mrs Sherlock Holmes van Brad Ricca. Dat boek kun je hier op Bazarow bestellen. Dan steun je meteen de onafhankelijke boekwinkels van Nederland! Een van de vragen die mij het meest wordt gesteld is: wat is dat intro muziekje ookalweer...? Nou, dat is Mike Franklyn's In times of change. Meer muziek en geluid voor je eigen podcast nodig?

On this episode of PBKR, we're heading to the dark side as we talk about two of the creepiest movies ever! But, while Midsommar and Hereditary are scary as hell, they also provoke some great conversation about suffering, grief, and relationships. Don't worry, we will also talk about Florence Pugh's pout - which is legendary - as well as the wonderful, amazing, incredible Toni Collette. And even though these are horror movies, you know we're here for a good time, so expect lots of laughs as we reveal movies that made us ugly cry and the award for worst movie boyfriend ever! **Plugs from This Episode: Mrs. Sherlock Holmes by Brad Ricca, Miley Cyrus's "Plastic Hearts", Spotify's Chill Hits and Indie Kicks playlists

ABOUT THE AUTHOR & THE BOOK When Olive MacLeod met famous naturalist Boyd Alexander in the early 1900s, her impressive spirit  led him to ask her to be his wife. Shortly thereafter, the naturalist encountered serious trouble during an expedition to West Africa in 1910. When Olive got word that something had happened to Boyd, she headed to unmapped regions to find him, willing to face down any danger. Olive the Lionheart is the thrilling true story of her astonishing journey. In jungles, swamps, cities, and deserts, Olive and her two companions, the Talbots, come face-to-face with cobras and crocodiles, worldly native chiefs, a murderous leopard cult, a haunted forest, and even two adorable lion cubs that she adopts as her own. Making her way in a pair of ill-fitting boots, Olive awakens to the many forces around her, from shadowy colonial powers to an invisible Islamic warlord who may hold the key to Boyd's disappearance. As these secrets begin to unravel, all of Olive's assumptions prove wrong and she is forced to confront the darkest, most shocking secret of all: why she really came to Africa in the first place. Drawing on Olive's own letters and secret diaries—documents which have never been published—Olive the Lionheart is a love story that defies all boundaries, set against the backdrop of a beautiful, unconquerable Africa. BRAD RICCA is the author of the Edgar Award-nominated Mrs. Sherlock Holmes and Super Boys, and winner of the Ohioana Book Award for Nonfiction. He won the St. Lawrence Book Award for American Mastodon. Ricca lives and works in Cleveland.

It was February of 1917, and 18-year-old Ruth Cruger was missing. Her family panicked. They called the police. But detectives didn’t seem too concerned. They assured the family that Ruth would come back. And if she didn’t? Well, Ruth was probably… on the prowl. The Crugers were offended by the implication, and incensed that the police weren’t taking them seriously. Months went by. Despite a credible suspect, the case went cold. So the Crugers did the only thing they could think to do. They hired a courageous, tenacious attorney named Grace Humiston. By the end of the saga, Grace would be dubbed, ‘Mrs. Sherlock Holmes.’  Then Brandi tells us about a shocking event that bystanders initially wrote off as a joke. It was the day before Halloween, in 1985, at the Springfield Mall in Springfield, Pennsylvania. A woman approached the mall wearing fatigues. She carried a gun. Most people thought she was in costume. Then she fired her very real weapon. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Mrs. Sherlock Holmes Takes on the NYPD” by Karen Abbott for Smithsonian Mag “Missing in Action” By David Krajicek for the New York Daily News  The “Mrs. Sherlock Homes” episode of Criminal, where Brad Ricca is interviewed for his book, “Mrs. Sherlock Holmes: The true story of New York city’s greatest female detective and the 1917 missing girl case that captivated a nation” “Cocchi implicated in police grafting,” New York Herald June 23, 1917 “Buried Truth,” by Joseph McNamara for The Daily News “Cocchi says his wife killed girl,” Daily News June 26, 1919 In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Sylvia Seegrist: Guilty But Insane” by Katherine Ramsland, The Crime Library “Sylvia Seegrist went psycho and killed three innocent people at the Springfield, Pa., mall” by Mara Bovsun, New York Daily News “Decades After Sylvia Seegrist, Mentally Ill People Are Still Murdering Innocents” by Victor Fiorillo, Philadelphia Magazine “Sylvia Seegrist”http://wikipedia.org  

When 18-year-old Ruth Cruger disappeared in 1917, newspapers reported that she probably ran off with a boyfriend. New York police said that there were no clues to go on. But an investigator named Grace Humiston decided that she would do whatever it took to find her. She became known as "Mrs. Sherlock Holmes." Brad Ricca's book is Mrs. Sherlock Holmes: The True Story of New York City's Greatest Female Detective and the 1917 Missing Girl Case That Captivated a Nation.

We interview Brad Ricca and discuss his book-"Mrs. Holmes"it tells the incredible story of Grace Humiston, the lawyer, and detective who solved the famous cold case of Ruth Cruger, an 18-year-old girl who disappeared in 1917. Grace was an amazing lawyer and travelling detective during a time when no women were practising in the legal profession. She focused on solving cases no one else wanted and advocating for innocents. Grace became the first female US District Attorney and made ground-breaking investigations into the practice of modern slavery. In the Ruth Cruger case, Grace followed a trail of corruption that led from New York to Italy. Her work changed how the country viewed the problem of missing girls. But the victory came with a price.
