A meticulously organized garage with labeled drawers for every type of nail and screw. A quiet family man who never raised his voice. A loyal employee of the family sprinkler business. This was the Jeffrey Gordon that everyone thought they knew – until police discovered what he'd been hiding between his mattress and box spring.When DNA technology finally connected Gordon to the brutal murders of Margaret Eby and Nancy Ludwig, investigators expected to find evidence of his crimes. What they discovered instead was a trophy collection so vast it would take weeks to catalog: approximately 1,200 pieces of women's underwear, many labeled with names, dates, and locations, hidden throughout his home, garage, and even behind his chimney. The man who appeared to be a model husband and father had been living a double life for decades as a voyeur and predator.The search revealed not just physical trophies but homemade videos filmed from hidden cameras in bathrooms, spliced together with movie scenes depicting sexual assault. Gordon had compiled his disturbing obsessions while maintaining his public persona as a quiet chess champion who helped his children with homework and attended church regularly. His own family seemed blind to the red flags – though his brothers privately referred to him as "the panty sniffer," they never reported his concerning behavior.Most troubling were the accounts from neighbors and acquaintances who had encountered Gordon's darker side years earlier. Multiple women reported finding him peeping in windows or discovering him in their homes, but when they informed his family, they were asked not to involve police. Despite previous imprisonment in Florida for similar offenses, Gordon had been protected by a wall of silence that allowed his behavior to escalate to murder.The Jeffrey Gordon case exposes how predators hide in plain sight, and how communities can enable their behavior through denial and silence. Listen as we unravel the investigation that finally brought him to justice and the shocking discoveries that revealed the true extent of his crimes. What other secrets might still be hidden in those meticulously labeled containers?Send us a text Support the show

This sermon was preached by Andy Armstrong at the Gorton site of Christ Church Manchester, on Sunday 17th August 2025, from 2 Chronicles 20:1-23.

In this episode, we sit down with Eddie Gorton, a school principal by day and stand-up comedian by night! Eddie shares how he balances two separate worlds, some of the funniest moments he shares on stage, and how laughter plays a role in his approach to leadership and life.

Deep beneath the veneer of an ordinary family man lurked one of Michigan's most disturbing predators. Jeffrey Gordon—quiet, meticulous, and seemingly gentle—maintained a double life that shocked even veteran investigators when it was finally exposed in 2001.The search of Gordon's modest Flint home revealed an astonishing collection of approximately 1,200 women's undergarments, many labeled with names, dates, and locations—trophies from his countless violations of women's privacy. His disturbing videotapes captured unsuspecting victims in intimate moments, revealing a voyeuristic obsession that had apparently escalated to murder.Behind the scenes, jurisdictional tensions complicated the investigation. Prosecutor Arthur Busch insisted on proper procedures despite pressure from state police brass eager for media attention. As search warrants were finally executed, investigators discovered the true extent of Gordon's depravity—a meticulously organized collection that reflected the compartmentalized psychology of a predator who had successfully hidden in plain sight for years.Most shocking was how Gordon's behavior had raised red flags for years. Former neighbors reported multiple incidents of window peeping dating back to 1986. His own brothers reportedly referred to him as "the panty sniffer" behind his back. Yet his wife Brenda maintained she knew nothing of his criminal past in Florida, where he had served prison time for similar offenses. Gordon's arrest finally connected him to the 1986 murder of Margaret Eby at the prestigious Mott Estate, where his family business had installed sprinkler systems, and the 1991 killing of Nancy Ludwig at a Detroit airport hotel. After fifteen years, advanced DNA technology had finally caught up with a predator who had been hiding behind the facade of normalcy all along.Join us as we explore how this seemingly ordinary man maintained his secret life for so long, and the dedicated investigators who finally brought him to justice.Send us a text Support the show

Jack has his monthly visit with the Mayor who has exciting news about a new Paramedicine Community Center opening today and how the program has enhanced the city's response to substance abuse and mental health emergencies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A House committee issues subpoenas in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a new ad targets Congressman Massie, a new contract awards money to widen I-75, Lexington's mayor discusses running for a third term, a $1.5 billion uranium enrichment facility is planned for Western Kentucky, and a new program working to reduce suicides among veterans.

In tonight's dead letter, we hear from our listener Sam, who shares two spooky stories. The first involves two hauntings at an aquarium in the UK. An old lady ghost with a penchant for floral perfume, and as one might expect…a fisherman. While the second features a mysterious, hunched-over shadow figure lurking in a South Carolina home. Sometimes these shorter letters are the most freaky. As we often remind our listeners, the real experiences don't occur with a three-act structure or poignant message all the time.

The long-awaited arrest of Jeffrey Gordon unfolds in this riveting episode that takes us deep into the interrogation room where a seemingly ordinary man's dark secrets are methodically exposed.When Michigan State Police finally match DNA evidence to local sprinkler installer Jeffrey Gordon in the 16-year-old Margaret Eby murder case, tensions immediately flare between law enforcement agencies. Genesee County Prosecutor Arthur Bush is furious about being kept in the dark until the last moment, creating a backdrop of professional conflict that threatens to complicate the case. Meanwhile, Detective Dan Snyder makes the emotional call he's been waiting 11 years to make to Nancy Ludwig's father: "We got Nancy's killer."The heart of this episode centers on the masterfully conducted interrogation of Gordon. Detectives Larson and Kilbourne skillfully build rapport with their suspect, gradually moving from mundane questions about his background toward revealing questions about his criminal history in Florida. Gordon's body language—arms crossed, constant rocking, nervous fidgeting—betrays his anxiety even as he attempts to maintain composure. What emerges is a disturbing pattern: Gordon's fetish for women's clothing led to break-ins and escalating confrontations with women.The interrogation reaches its dramatic climax when investigators confront Gordon with irrefutable FBI fingerprint evidence placing him at the murder scene. "I absolutely positively know you did it," Detective Larson declares, cutting through Gordon's denials. Despite their appeals for him to explain his actions and take responsibility, Gordon maintains his innocence until the handcuffs click shut.This episode illustrates a profound truth about predators: they rarely match our image of monsters. As one detective reflects, "All these years the Flint PD was looking for a monster and they should have been looking for the guy next door."

This sermon was preached by Tom Bassford at the Gorton site of Christ Church Manchester, on Sunday 3rd August 2025, from Luke 24:46.

This sermon was preached by Rosie Crooks at the Gorton site of Christ Church Manchester, on Sunday 27th July 2025, from Psalm 23.

A crisp spring evening in 1983 turned terrifying for Marika Gugliano when a "clean-cut, Joe College type" suddenly appeared behind her in an Orlando parking lot. Her attacker knocked her down, grabbed her ankles, and attempted to drag her toward a dumpster. Her screams likely saved her life—the man fled with only her slip as a trophy.This wasn't an isolated incident. Days later, another woman was assaulted in a nearly identical attack. When police caught Jeffrey Gordon, a young Navy sailor studying at the Nuclear Power School, they discovered he had been keeping bags filled with women's undergarments stolen from multiple victims. Despite the clear pattern of predatory behavior, Gordon received a relatively short sentence of four and a half years.Upon his release, Gordon returned to his hometown near Flint, Michigan, where he slipped back into society with disturbing ease. Working for his family's lawn sprinkler business, he maintained a veneer of normalcy while continuing his troubling behaviors—lifting a woman's skirt in a department store, stalking another for months. Each incident resulted in minimal consequences, with authorities failing to connect the dots to his previous Florida convictions.The breakthrough came in 2002 when investigators matched Gordon's fingerprint to evidence found at Margaret "Abby" Abbey's 1986 murder scene. Through meticulous surveillance and groundbreaking DNA analysis—extracting usable evidence from just "half a billionth of a gram" of genetic material—police finally connected Gordon to multiple cold case murders that had haunted Michigan for over fifteen years.Meanwhile, Marika rebuilt her life after trauma, finding healing through unexpected means. She learned to shoot firearms, practiced martial arts, and eventually found love with a supportive partner. Today, she lives on 20 acres in Georgia's countryside, hand-planting over 1,300 pine trees—a testament to resilience in the face of violence. Her story reminds us that while some survivors never fully escape their trauma, many find ways to reclaim their lives and create happiness despite the darkness they've endured.What other evidence might Jeffrey Gordon have left behind over the years? Listen now to discover how advances in forensic technology finally brought a dangerous predator to justice.Send us a text Support the show

The hunt for a killer ends with a thumbprint and technology that didn't exist when the crimes were committed. After fifteen years, the brutal murders of Margaret Ebby and Nancy Ludwig—killed five years apart in different Michigan cities—are finally connected through DNA evidence, launching a renewed investigation that faces political obstacles from the start.Detective Dan Snyder, who had lived and breathed the Ludwig case for a decade, nearly gets pushed off the investigation until forensic scientist Heather Helton intervenes, recognizing him as "the investigation embodied." What follows is a masterclass in cold case detective work as a multi-agency task force systematically collects DNA samples from hundreds of people connected to both victims—former lovers, contractors, students, and acquaintances.When the breakthrough finally comes, it's through a partial fingerprint from the Ebby murder scene that sat in evidence for fifteen years. The FBI's new Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System matches it to Jeffrey Wayne Gordon, a man with a disturbing history of sexual assaults in Florida who had been released from prison just days before Ebby's murder. Remarkably, Gordon was living just miles from the Flint crime scene, hiding in plain sight all along.The episode also powerfully recounts the story of Marie Gagliano, one of Gordon's early assault victims in Florida, whose attack foreshadowed his escalating violent behavior. Her journey from trauma to recovery provides a window into the lasting impact of violent crime on survivors, ending with her finding both healing and strength.This chilling case demonstrates how advances in forensic science, combined with relentless detective work, can finally bring justice to victims when traditional methods fail. For everyone involved in investigating these murders, the identification of Gordon validated years of dedication and proved that no case is truly unsolvable when technology catches up to evidence preserved by diligent investigators.Send us a text Support the show

The brutal 1991 murder of Northwest Airlines flight attendant Nancy Ludwig in room 354 of the Airport Hilton stands as one of Detroit's most perplexing cold cases. This gripping episode delves deep into the exhaustive investigation that followed, revealing how detectives Snyder and Malianak pursued over 2,300 tips in their relentless search for justice.We explore the fascinating case of Michael Flynn, a pathological impostor who presented himself as a Northwest pilot while actually working as a firefighter on disability. Flynn's elaborate fabrications, strange behavior, and connection to the victim initially made him a compelling suspect until DNA evidence eliminated him from consideration. His story serves as just one example of the countless leads that investigators pursued and ultimately ruled out in this frustrating investigation.The episode also highlights the extraordinary efforts of Nancy's widower, Art Ludwig, who transformed his grief into action. Drawing on his media background, Art orchestrated a years-long awareness campaign that included national television appearances, newspaper advertisements, reward posters, and even arranging for the Teamsters union to contribute $30,000 to help catch his wife's killer. Despite facing suspicion himself—an unfortunate reality for many spouses in murder investigations—Art never stopped fighting to keep Nancy's case alive in the public consciousness.A decade after the murder, advancing DNA technology brought new hope in the form of a specialized cold case task force in Flint, Michigan. The collaboration between Police Chief Bradford Barksdale and Michigan State Police Lieutenant Colonel Robert Bertie demonstrates how institutional partnerships can overcome bureaucratic obstacles when solving heinous crimes becomes the priority.What drives investigators to pursue justice years after a case goes cold? How does a family survive the aftermath of such a brutal crime? Listen now to understand the profound impact of unsolved murders and the dedicated professionals who refuse to let killers escape accountability, no matter how much time has passed.Send us a text Support the show

The murder of Northwest Airlines flight attendant Nancy Ludwig at Detroit's Airport Hilton sparked one of Michigan's most exhaustive investigations of the early 1990s. Detective Lieutenant Ken Krause masterfully organized the Romulus Police Department's response, creating sophisticated tracking systems for the 2,300 tips that would eventually flood their office.What makes this case particularly fascinating is the stark contrast between meticulous police work and the unreliability of human perception. When a hotel desk clerk confidently claimed Ludwig had stayed at the hotel previously and received a mysterious phone call the night of her murder, investigators quickly disproved both statements. This perfectly illustrates why seasoned detectives approach eyewitness testimony with healthy skepticism, despite its powerful sway over juries.The investigation's scope was breathtaking. Detectives compiled databases containing 8,000 hotel guests, 2,600 gold Monte Carlo owners, and countless flight crews, all while working double shifts and sometimes sleeping on the detective bureau floor. They pursued forensic evidence with equal vigor, identifying that the killer had blood type A and secreted a rare enzyme called PGM2-1+ found in less than 2% of males. This scientific clue led them to test 200 potential suspects, though all were ultimately cleared.Even the smallest pieces of evidence received scrutiny that bordered on obsessive. A piece of two-ply nature jute twine used to bind Ludwig's wrists was traced through distributors to companies that might employ the killer. Composite sketches from multiple witnesses were distributed widely, with flight attendant Lin Nelms even placed under hypnosis to enhance her recall of the suspect.As theories ranging from jilted lovers to elaborate terrorist plots were methodically investigated and dismissed, the case demonstrates how homicide detectives must balance scientific analysis with human intuition. When Detective Link Helton admitted to meeting a mysterious woman in a parking lot to receive potential evidence, noting "there was no length I wouldn't go to solve this case," he captured the relentless dedication that drives investigators even when confronted with seemingly endless dead ends.Have you ever wondered what happens when thousands of leads all seem to lead nowhere? Follow this riveting account of detective work at its most persistent and discover how even the most challenging cases never truly go cold in the minds of the detectives who pursue them.Send us a text Support the show

Stephanie Gorton is a writer, editor, and journalist whose work has been published in a range of outlets including The New Yorker, Smithsonian, and Paris Review Daily. She has worked in editorial roles at several independent presses, and her first book came out in 2020, titled Citizen Reporters: S. S. McClure, Ida Tarbell, and the Magazine that Rewrote America. Her second book, which came out in November, is The Icon and the Idealist: Margaret Sanger, Mary Ware Dennett, and the Rivalry that Brought Birth Control to America. It's a fascinating dual biography that brings to life two complicated leaders of the birth control movement in the early 1900s, and the lasting impact of their actions and interactions. We spoke early this year, and I loved getting to hear more about Stephanie's research and writing process, especially how she thought about narrative structure and revising with feedback.

Some murder cases haunt communities for decades, leaving behind unanswered questions and shattered lives. The brutal killing of Northwest Airlines flight attendant Nancy Ludwig at the Airport Hilton in Romulus, Michigan in 1991 is exactly such a case.When Art Ludwig received a phone call that a body had been discovered in Detroit that might be his wife, his world began crumbling. Through a raging blizzard, he made his way to the airport, beginning what he would later describe as the worst days of his life. The devastating visit to the county morgue where he had to identify Nancy's brutally beaten body left him with images that would haunt him for years. "My last image of her is the four or five seconds of looking at her face," Art recounts. "It was so badly beaten you can't imagine going through it."The investigation followed standard protocol—the spouse is always the first suspect. While Detective Milaniak conducted a thorough interrogation, Detective Snyder showed remarkable compassion, refusing to subject Art to a polygraph test given his obvious trauma. Meanwhile, the murders became particularly challenging as the transient nature of airport hotels meant potential witnesses scattered across the country. What makes this case even more compelling is its possible connection to another unsolved murder. Mark and Jonathan Eby noticed striking similarities between Nancy Ludwig's killing and their mother Margaret's murder in Flint in 1986—both women bound, gagged, raped, with their throats cut. Despite their efforts to alert authorities in both cities, these potential connections went largely unexplored.Have you ever wondered how seemingly separate violent crimes might be connected? Listen to this episode to understand how two grieving families sought answers, how trauma reverberates through lives for years, and how crucial investigative connections sometimes fall through the cracks.

Murder can happen anywhere, even in the seemingly secure confines of an airport hotel filled with airline personnel. In this chilling episode of Murder Book, we delve into the brutal killing of Northwest flight attendant Nancy Ludwig during what should have been a routine overnight stay at the Detroit Airport Hilton.The horror begins with multiple sightings of a suspicious man lurking through the hallways of a hotel predominantly occupied by airline crews. When experienced flight attendant Nancy Ludwig fails to appear for her morning shuttle, no one imagines the nightmare waiting behind the door of Room 354. What crime scene specialist Lynn Helton discovers there will haunt her for the rest of her career—a scene of such extreme violence that it "hung in the air and shouted at you."Detective Dan Snyder, a methodical investigator with an unlikely background in newspaper circulation, arrives to find evidence of torture, sexual assault, and a killer who took time to shower before fleeing with his victim's belongings. The meticulous nature of the crime points to a predator of frightening calculation, who somehow managed to blend into an environment designed for transient airline employees. Most disturbing are the witness accounts—multiple flight attendants and hotel guests who encountered the killer before and possibly after the murder, yet couldn't prevent the tragedy or immediately identify him.What makes this case particularly chilling is how the killer exploited the vulnerabilities inherent in the airline industry's routine—the predictable schedules, the generic hotel rooms, and the trust extended to those who appear to belong. Follow us through the painstaking investigation as detectives gather evidence that will take years and significant advances in forensic science to ultimately yield results. This isn't just a murder mystery; it's a sobering glimpse into how predators move among us, hiding behind ordinary appearances while harboring extraordinary malice.Send us a text Support the show

Tunnel vision can be the ultimate enemy of justice. In this riveting exploration of the Margaret Ebbe murder investigation, we reveal how a questionable FBI profile led detectives down a singular path focused on former university employee Charlie Stone, potentially blinding them to other suspects and evidence.The Ebbe family, desperate for answers about their mother's brutal killing, hired private investigator Thomas Reed, who embarked on a costly and ultimately absurd pursuit of Stone. From staking out his Pennsylvania residence to ordering pizzas from the Domino's where he worked just to interact with him, Reed's investigation reads like dark comedy—expensive hours billed with nothing substantial to show for the effort.Meanwhile, the case took a devastating turn when Metropolitan Detroit magazine published "The Two Mrs. Ebbes," a cruel article that painted a lurid and largely fictional picture of the victim's personal life. Based heavily on the FBI profile and questionable sources with personal grudges against Ebbe, the article suggested she had willingly participated in bondage with her killer—a narrative that shattered her family and misled the public.What makes this case particularly troubling is how the FBI's behavioral science unit was credited with solving previous high-profile cases when there's little evidence they contributed. Yet their profile in the Ebbe case was treated as gospel, narrowing the focus of the investigation dramatically while potential leads went unexplored. Despite Flint Police maintaining an impressive clearance rate for homicides during a record-breaking year of violence, the Ebbe case remained frustratingly open.As the episode introduces us to Art Ludwig and his wife Nancy Lepore, new threads begin to appear in this complex mystery. Their seemingly perfect life together creates an intriguing counterpoint to the main investigation, suggesting connections that will become clear as Jeffrey Gordon's deadly secrets continue to unfold.Have you ever wondered how a murder investigation can go wrong despite the best intentions? This episode shows exactly how confirmation bias and overreliance on profiles can derail the pursuit of justice.

Murder has a way of revealing secrets, and the investigation into Margarette Eby's brutal killing peels back layers of deception surrounding the prime suspect, Jeffrey Gorton.Detective Dave King follows the old Flint police adage: "If you got a case on the come, you gotta write it till it's done." His investigation begins with Eby's list of lovers and the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death—no forced entry until the bedroom, suggesting she knew her killer. As King dives deeper into Eby's life, he uncovers a complex woman: strong-willed, brilliant, and unconventional, who had previously reported an intruder in her bedroom just weeks before her murder.Meanwhile, we meet Jeffrey Gorton through the eyes of Brenda Fleming, who encounters him at a local bowling alley. Their relationship blossoms into what appears to be a perfect marriage. Jeff is generous, surprising Brenda with thoughtful gifts, such as an expensive bedroom suite, on their honeymoon. He becomes the ideal family man, coaching his children's teams, participating enthusiastically in family gatherings, and organizing spectacular Fourth of July fireworks displays. His only quirk seems to be his constant nervous movements—rocking and nail-biting that never stops.Yet beneath this carefully constructed façade lies a troubled past. Through his high school friend, Joe Contreras, and his first girlfriend, Dawn Theerback, we discover a different Jeff—one who desperately tried to escape responsibility when Dawn became pregnant at 16, even joining the Navy to get away. Dawn's heartbreaking diary entries reveal her desperate pursuit of Jeff and his eventual reluctant acceptance of fatherhood and marriage.The FBI's behavioral science unit, including famed profiler John Douglas (the inspiration for characters in "Silence of the Lambs"), provides a chilling psychological portrait of Eby's killer that begins to align with aspects of Gorton's personality and background. When Detective King receives a crucial tip connecting Gorton to Eby through a mutual acquaintance, the parallel narratives converge into a shocking revelation about the man behind the façade of the perfect husband.Listen now to discover how this meticulous investigation unravels the complex web of secrets surrounding Jeffrey Gorton and the murder of Margarette Eby. Send us a text Support the show

Welcome to the 100th episode of the DoGood Radio Hour! We are celebrating this milestone with our friend, Mayor Linda Gorton, who joins us in the podlab to talk about all things 25Lex!

A children's roller skating party becomes the unlikely setting for a high-stakes undercover operation as police close in on Jeffrey Gorton, a seemingly ordinary family man they believe responsible for two of Michigan's most brutal unsolved murders. Investigators suspect a predator of unimaginable savagery behind his façade of normalcy—a devoted husband, father of two, church member, and eager school volunteer. For over fifteen years, two horrific cases had haunted Michigan law enforcement: the 1986 murder of Margaret Eby, a prominent Flint university provost and musician found nearly decapitated in her home, and a 1991 case involving a flight attendant in Romulus who suffered a similarly brutal fate.Advances in DNA technology had connected these crimes through preserved evidence, but police needed a fresh sample from their suspect to confirm their theory. Enter Mike San Andre, a scrappy undercover narcotics officer with silver hoop earrings and a shaved head, looking entirely out of place among elementary school families. His mission: to collect anything with Gorton's DNA—a napkin, cup, cigarette butt—anything that might finally close cases that had remained open for over a decade.The episode follows this tense surveillance operation and the meticulous forensic work that followed while delving into the shocking details of the cold cases and their victims' stories. We witness the collision of scientific advancement with old-fashioned police work as investigators struggle with minute amounts of DNA and the pressure of knowing a potential predator remains free in the community.Could a half-empty Mountain Dew cup and some twisted napkins finally bring closure to cases that had baffled police for generations? Join us for this riveting exploration of how the most minor pieces of evidence can sometimes break the most significant cases.Send us a text SEQUESTERED PodcastA Juror's Perspective on the Murder Trial for Jasmine PaceListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Barnstorming across a segregated United States from 1908-1940, pitcher John Donaldson won over 400 games and collected over 5,000 strikeouts, but his baseball career became lost in history until historian Pete Gorton came to the rescue. Chuck Garfien speaks with Gorton who has spent the last 20 years uncovering Donaldson's extraordinary career. Donaldson later became the first official black scout in the majors with the White Sox, scouting Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Ernie Banks.
