Retired Chicago Police Detective Sergeant Michele Wood returns for Part 2 - from Chicago murder rooms to Hollywood lights. After 25 years behind the badge and 15 years hunting killers in homicide, she lived the bizarre reality TV never shows - a death scene so grim the roaches left, a roach crawling on her neck as she worked the body.

The Greenbrier Ghost is the name given to Elva Zona Heaster Shue, a young bride murdered in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, in January 1897. After only a few months of marriage to blacksmith Edward “Trout” Shue, Zona was found dead in their home. A local doctor called it heart disease. She was buried the next day at what is now Soule Chapel Methodist Cemetery near Smoot. Her husband had dressed the body, packed her neck in a high collar and scarf, and discouraged a full examination. Zona's mother, Mary Jane Heaster, refused that story. She later testified that her daughter's spirit came to her bedside four nights in a row and described how Trout Shue had flown into a rage and broken her neck. Mary Jane took that account to the prosecutor. Zona was exhumed. The autopsy found the neck dislocated between the first and second vertebrae, the windpipe crushed, and finger marks on the throat. Edward Shue was tried in Lewisburg in the summer of 1897. The jury convicted him of first-degree murder. He was sent to the West Virginia Penitentiary at Moundsville and died there in 1900. A state historic marker still stands near I-64: the only widely cited American case in which a spirit's reported words helped open a murder investigation that ended in a conviction. On this episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, Kris and Rob go through the marriage, the scene, the inquest, the courtroom, and the folklore that grew up around it — without losing Zona Heaster Shue inside the ghost story.

On November 2, 2015, a call came in to 911 in the small town of Pendleton, South Carolina. The caller, Amy Vilardi, had just made a horrifying discovery at her mother's house; all four residents in the home had been brutally murdered. What began as an open and shut investigation, quickly turned into a stale mate that would delay justice for a frustrated family for 8 long years.Instagram: @CousinsonCrimePodcastEmail: CousinsonCrime@gmail.comTheme Music by AleXZavesaFor Bonus Content, Join our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/CousinsOnCrimeCheck out our merch store! https://cousinsoncrime-shop.fourthwall.com/?Sources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hALTeHQ_wh0https://www.foxcarolina.com/2026/02/23/jury-selection-begins-trial-anderson-co-woman-accused-killing-4-family-members/https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeMystery/comments/1i348r5/my_mother_is_a_murderer/https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeMystery/comments/1s3szvb/my_mother_is_a_murderer_part_2/https://people.com/amy-vilardi-murder-trail-11912471https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPiDwDMDetUhttps://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1618264649373723https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/154890437/terry-michael-scotthttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/77180638/barbara_jean-scotthttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/154579372/violet_juanita-taylorhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/154579352/cathy-scott

Fairy Tales Day Nursery looked like the kind of place parents were supposed to trust.It had positive ratings, an award, and staff who were supposed to know how to care for very young children.Then 14-month-old Noah Sibanda was put down for a nap.Hours later, his parents were at the hospital being told their little boy was gone.What investigators found on the nursery's CCTV would raise questions far beyond one employee, and expose what prosecutors described as a dangerous culture inside a place meant to keep children safe.Join the Facebook - www.facebook.com/relationshipcrime**************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about?

Rick Fittin grew up in New Jersey, joined the Army, and went on to spend more than 25 years in law enforcement — working his way from patrol officer to K9 officer and eventually police chief. Along the way, he experienced the wild, funny, and unpredictable side of policing that most people never get to hear directly from the officers who lived it. After more than two decades on the job, Rick walked away from law enforcement and started an entirely new chapter of his life. _____________________________________________ #police #cops #TrueCrime #crimestories #k9 _____________________________________________ Thank you to HIMS & CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Hims: Ready to reach your goals?

Five children hiking near Albion Falls in Hamilton, Ontario, thought they had stumbled across the remains of an animal.Then they got closer.What they had actually found launched one of Canada's most sensational murder investigations, a case involving a missing husband, a blood-stained Packard, a wealthy family hiding secrets, contradictory statements, and physical evidence scattered across more than one property.At the center was 25-year-old Evelyn Dick, whose private life quickly became almost as famous as the crime itself.But even after multiple trials, a death sentence, an overturned conviction, and decades of speculation, one question has never been definitively answered:Who killed John Dick?Listen now on Love and Murder************************************************************************************************Podcast Promo: Darkcast Network*************************************************************************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about?

In March 1954, 25-year-old Constance Fisher was living with her husband, Carl, and their three young children in Waterville, Maine. In part one of this case, we look into Constance's struggle with severe mental illness following childbirth. Following a voice she believed was God's, she drowned her three children–Richard, 6, Daniel, 4, and baby Deborah in the family home before attempting to take her own life. She was committed to Augusta State Hospital, where doctors treated her for serious psychiatric illness. Five years later, Constance was released and returned to her husband. The couple rebuilt their life and had more children. Then, on June 30, 1966, history repeated itself. Constance again drowned her three children: six-year-old Kathleen, four-year-old Michael Jon, and nine-month-old Natalie Rose. She was sent back to the Augusta State Mental Hospital to live out the rest of her life. But in 1973, with no hope of ever leaving the hospital, Constance wandered off the grounds of the hospital and into the Kennebec River where she drowned herself. Her husband, Carl, never remarried and buried his wife next to the bodies of their six children.

A child-custody hearing ends quietly inside a South Carolina courthouse. No shouting. No threats. No indication that anything unusual is about to happen.But once everyone reaches the parking lot, everything changes.Behind what happens next is a years-long story involving an affair, a marriage, a little girl with two father figures, and a truth that Andrew White had already been living with for nearly a year. Was what happened outside that courthouse a man suddenly breaking under years of betrayal, or something much more calculated?**************************************Follow on Facebook: www.facebook.com/relationshipcrimeDo you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about?

Ryan Greenwood built an online following by sharing parenting advice, Christian messages, and videos about being a better father.Then, in August 2025, his 4-month-old daughter Elizabeth Greenwood died.What initially appeared to be a tragic loss quickly became a criminal investigation.

Nannie Doss spent decades chasing the kind of love story she read about in romance magazines and lonely-hearts ads. She married again and again, always searching for what she called the “perfect mate.” But wherever Nannie's search for romance took her, tragedy never seemed far behind.By 1954, one sudden death in Tulsa, Oklahoma, finally made a doctor stop and ask questions that stretched far beyond one marriage. Soon investigators were looking backward through years of suspicious deaths across multiple states, and at the cheerful grandmother the press would eventually nickname the “Giggling Granny.”How many secrets had been hiding behind Nannie Doss's smile?Listen now on Love and Murder************************************************************************************************Podcast Promo: Darkcast Network*************************************************************************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about?

When a detective's daughter vanished in 1930s Denver, it looked like a kidnapping — but what unfolded behind closed doors was a domestic nightmare involving poison, deception, and a stepmother with a deadly secret.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/MurderWithoutMotiveREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9xsndeFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: They found the first body stuffed inside the church library's closet. Then a second body turned up. It's the creepy case of Theo Durrant – better known in San Francisco as the Demon of the Belfry. (Demon of the Belfry) *** In 1989 a man anonymously claimed he had worked at Area 51 where alien technology was being reverse-engineered for the Pentagon. It sounded like the crazed thoughts of a madman at the time. But now, thirty years later, it does not seem so absurd. (Bob Lazar, The Pentagon, And UFOs) *** One of our Weirdo family members tells the true story of a young child told not to be sad when her grandfather passes away… before anyone knew he had died. (The Old Woman In The Basement) *** Some very strange things have been taking place in Sedona Arizona – including ghosts, UFOs, and even people supposedly seeing living dinosaurs. (Strangeness at the Bradshaw Ranch) *** Is it possible that the reason Jack The Ripper was never caught, is because he was only visiting London at the time and then returned to his home in Missouri, USA? (Was Jack The Ripper From St. Louis?) *** It's a story called “Murder Without Motive”. It's a chapter from the upcoming audiobook I'm narrating called “Suffer The Children: American Horrors, Homicides, and Hauntings” by Troy Taylor.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:03:25.609 = Show Open00:05:39.964 = Murder Without Motive00:41:07.245 = Was Jack The Ripper From St. Louis? ***00:54:42.147 = Strangeness At Bradshaw Ranch ***01:07:18.745 = The Old Woman In The Basement01:12:45.448 = Bob Lazar, The Pentagon, and UFOs ***01:17:10.404 = Demon Of The Belfry01:21:57.234 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Become an OFFICIAL WEIRDO for commercial-free episodes, bonus episodes, weeknight live chats, audiobooks & more at https://WeirdDarkness.com/OFFICIALWeird Darkness brings together six accounts of murder and high strangeness: a Denver stepmother who fed her family crushed glass, a St. Louis patent-medicine salesman accused of being Jack the Ripper, an Arizona ranch the government bought and sealed, a second-grader warned of two deaths before anyone made the calls, the man who said he took apart alien craft at Area 51, and a Sunday school superintendent who left bodies inside his own church.It opens on the October 1930 disappearance of ten-year-old Leona O'Loughlin, daughter of Denver police detective Leo O'Loughlin, whose body was found floating in Berkeley Park Lake two days later. Her stomach held ground glass, and so did her father's, both of them served from the bowl of rice her stepmother Pearl O'Loughlin had set on the table between them. Pearl had already tried the same method on her father-in-law's sugar bowl and on her sister's cat and dog, and the story comes from Troy Taylor's "Suffer the Children – American Horrors, Homicides and Hauntings."From there the show turns to Dr. Francis J. Tumblety, an uneducated patent-medicine peddler who kept a collection of women's uteruses in jars and was renting rooms on Batty Street in Whitechapel when the 1888 Ripper murders began. Inspector John Littlechild of Scotland Yard named him as a suspect in 1913, and the whole theory rests on one disputed date – whether Tumblety made bail on November 8th or November 16th, with Mary Kelly butchered in her bed on the 9th. He died at St. John's Hospital in St. Louis in May 1903, an estate of more than $135,000 behind him.Next is Bradshaw Ranch, 140 acres outside Sedona in the Verde Valley, where Linda Bradshaw reported orbs, shadow people, four short gray aliens in tan one-piece uniforms, a Bigfoot she nicknamed Big Girl, and a five-foot bipedal lizard standing on a dirt path one evening. She wrote it up with ufologist Tom Dongo in "Merging Dimensions: The Opening Portals of Sedona," and instrument readings on the property measured a magnetic field hundreds of times stronger than the surrounding desert. The U.S. government bought the ranch in May 2003 and closed it to the public without explanation.Then a Weirdo family member named Ashley Delia describes the morning her family drove out to tell her second-grade cousin that their grandfather had died in a hotel room in Effingham, Illinois. The girl wasn't surprised – a little old lady in the basement of their newly built house had already told her it was his time, and told her not to be sad. Four months later the lady came back to say the girl's other grandfather was going next, and the phone rang twenty minutes after that.After that comes Bob Lazar, who sat for a KLAS-TV interview in May 1989 under the name Dennis and said the military was reverse-engineering alien craft at a facility near Groom Lake. He described a ship that turns its belly toward its destination before it moves, which is close to what Navy aviators recorded in the Gimbal and Tic Tac encounters the Pentagon released decades later.The episode closes on Easter week of 1895 at Emanuel Baptist Church in San Francisco, where someone opened a closet in the church library and found Minnie Williams strangled and stabbed, her hands nearly severed. A search of the building turned up Blanche Lamont in the belfry, stripped and posed with her hands folded. Sunday school superintendent William Henry Theodore Durrant had courted both women, and the jury convicted him in five minutes, then sat and finished their cigars before walking back in so the verdict wouldn't look rushed.
In June, a federal park ranger wrote down a license plate on Independence Mall. Three months later, Philadelphia is running the strangest death investigation in the city since Gary Heidnik, and it has no bodies in it.This is the second episode on the Olney house. Since I last covered it, the numbers have changed completely. Four missing women became seven. Two believed dead became five. Five percent of the digital evidence reviewed became thirty percent, out of more than a million images and videos, with fifty eight separate human beings identified inside them.Robin walks through everything that broke at the September 16th press conference: the new name, Nicole Fusaro, and the video Philadelphia police say shows Raymond "R.C." Horsch tightening a zip tie around her neck with a plumbing tool. The sixth woman her family asked not to name. The seventh woman who has no name at all. The 2017 metadata that gives investigators a window and gives one defendant an alibi. The sixteen survivors who were found alive and refused to help police, and the reasons that is completely rational.Then the part that makes this case nearly unprosecutable: some women who appear dead in that footage have been found alive. R.C. Horsch spent fifty years manufacturing images of women pretending to die, and he was good enough at it that homicide detectives in 2026 cannot tell his performances from his crimes. He published the disposal method in a 2014 book under his own name, described himself as a natural at playing a perverted serial killer on a 2013 podcast, and died in his own bed at eighty two without ever being charged.And the spine of the episode: every single time the state of Pennsylvania was already standing in the room. A 1985 psychiatric report that a retired FBI agent says describes a potential serial killer. A 2009 search warrant that turned up other women's IDs and a police chief who never heard what became of them. A 2016 sit-down interview with the last man to see a missing woman alive. A 2025 search of the house itself, written up as a narcotics matter. Families pointing at the address for years.Five chances. Zero response. One parking ticket.Plus: a cousin taking the Philadelphia Police Department to the DOJ Civil Rights Division, five urns with three tentative answers, fifty containers of something sitting in a federal lab in Chicago, and a safe sealed in a foundation in Bucks County that nobody has opened.Housekeeping this week: Robin is back from a week in Philadelphia, which included Circa Survive, the Mütter Museum, the Liberty Bell, Reading Terminal Market, two cheesesteaks, a near-death experience in the pit sixty seconds into the first song, and a serious argument about Kathleen Hanna, Bikini Kill, and who a room's default actually serves.Their names are Gabrielle Amarando, Amy McHale, Maribel Fresses, Nicole Fusaro, and Blair Tonzelli. There are two more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-a-true-crime-podcast--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcastTikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedeviltruecrime
In October of 2003, twenty year old Brandon Rumbaugh and his girlfriend, nineteen year old Lisa Gurrieri wanted to find a special way to celebrate their one year anniversary. When a trip to Disneyland was too costly, they decided to stay close to home. The couple decided to camp out beneath the stars in a small area north of Scottsdale, Arizona called Bumble Bee. Tucked into the Bradshaw mountains and just a few miles off I-17, it was the perfect spot to spend a romantic night.When the couple failed to return, their families grew panicked. After more than thirty hours of silence, Brandon and Lisa were found dead, the victim of a grisly double homicide. According to police, it appeared as though someone walked up on the scene, found the couple sleeping in their sleeping bags, and opened fired with a .25 caliber pistol at close range. The killer, nor their motive, have ever been discovered.However, new breakthroughs in DNA technology are paving a pathway forward and, according to the most recent statements from investigators, they may well be on the trail of identifying the illusive killer.....Last Photos of Brandon and Lisa || The Unknown Photo || Example of a 25 caliber handgun FollowTEPod.comFollow Trace Evidence on Social MediaTwitter --- Instagram --- TikTok --- YouTube --- Like Facebook Page --- Join Facebook Group --- Threads --- Like MeWe Page --- Join MeWe Group --- BlueskySuppport Trace EvidencePatreon --- Paypal --- Cash App --- Buy Me A CoffeeTrace Evidence Merch ShopsTeePublic --- ShopTEPod --- SpreadshopAll Other LinksOfficial Trace Evidence Website --- LinkTreeMusic Courtesy of:"Lost Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Echoes of Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/#truecrimepodcast #unsolvedmysteries #coldcase #coldcaseinvestigation #murder #murdermystery #missingperson #missingpersons #truecrimecommunity #mysterypodcast #truecrime #coldcasefiles #truecrimestories #crimelovers #truecrimeaddict #truecrimejunkie #crimescene #justiceforall #missing #crimesquad #podcastcommunity #sleuthsunite #darkhistories #criminalmindset #detective #detectivediaries #forensics #forensicfiles #crimestories #crimepodcast #traceevidence #traceevidencepodcast #criminalinvestigation #justiceforvictims #detectivework #truecrimediscussion #podcastfamily #listenandsolve #crimefans #listentotraceevidence #uncoverthetruth #podcastrecommendations #podcastlove #podcastlife #truecrimeobsessed #followtheclues #cluefinders #podcastaddict #unsolvedmurders #unsolveddisappearances #detectiveatheart #jointheinvestigation #disappearance #vanishing #abduction #gonemissing #upandvanished #pacheco #stevenpacheco #podcasting #crimetalk #crimeanalysis #theories #gurrieri #rumbaugh #lisagurrieri #brandonrumbaugh #bumblebee #arizona #scottsdale #doublemurder #zodiac #yavapai #yavapaicountyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.
"When you get stabbed in the manner that he was, you're going to be out in seconds."On the evening of 30 August 2025, tens of thousands of people gathered around a seventy foot wooden figure that was slowly being engulfed in flame. It was the culmination of Burning Man, an annual festival held in Nevada's Black Rock Desert that is centered around concepts like radical self reliance and self expression. Participants are encouraged to help in the building of the temporary city that is the foundation of the entire festival, and urge to leave behind no trace when it's all over.But on this night, as the flames start to climb, a Pershing County Sheriff's deputy working the perimeter gets flagged down by a participant with a very different kind of urgency in their voice...If you have any information about this story that you'd like to share, please contact:Pershing Co.

Inside were the remains of 38-year-old Adam Buchanan, his fiancée, 37-year-old Molly McAfee, and their 8-year-old son, Gavin Buchanan. Investigators soon determined this was not simply a tragic fire — all three had been shot before the cabin was set ablaze.Part 1 looks back at Adam, Molly and Gavin's final weekend, the devastating cabin fire, the discovery that three members of one family had been murdered, and the investigation that began unraveling what happened in the early morning hours of September 13, 2015.

In March 1954, 25-year-old Constance Fisher was living with her husband, Carl, and their three young children in Waterville, Maine. In part one of this case, we look into Constance's struggle with severe mental illness following childbirth. Following a voice she believed was God's, she drowned her three children–Richard, 6, Daniel, 4, and baby Deborah in the family home before attempting to take her own life. She was committed to Augusta State Hospital, where doctors treated her for serious psychiatric illness. Five years later, Constance was released and returned to her husband. The couple rebuilt their life and had more children. Then, on June 30, 1966, history repeated itself.

In this Bell Work Talk, Casey Gwinn will begin by exploring what first led to the work and research surrounding hidden homicides. He will also examine the scope of these cases and how often they may go unrecognized or misclassified. The conversation will explore the factors that can contribute to a homicide being missed, as well as the warning signs professionals should be aware of. Finally, Casey will highlight efforts to improve the identification while also discussing strategies to help prevent homicides before they occur. Casey Gwinn is the co-founder of Alliance for HOPE International and former elected San Diego City Attorney. He is the founder of Camp HOPE America and the visionary behind the international Family Justice Center movement. He is recognized as an international expert on domestic violence, child abuse and sexual assault and strangulation. He is a frequently requested keynote speaker or invited guest on talk shows, podcasts and/or news stories. Casey has authored or co-authored more than ten books including his current bestseller, Hope Rising: How the Science of HOPE Can Change Your Life. With decades of experience, Casey remains at the forefront of efforts to create safe, healthier communities across the nation. Together Casey and Gael Strack are now working to raise awareness about homicides staged as suicides. They are addressing gaps in training, protocols and legislation for both law enforcement and family members of lost loved ones through the Justice Project, a program of Alliance for HOPE International. Most recently Gael researched and Casey wrote the first legislation in the country, SB989, to address suspicious death cases in honor of Joanna Hunter who was murdered in October 2011. This landmark legislation from California gives family members more access to records, officers more access to training and incorporates ten factors of a suspicious death in intimate partner cases as well as provides legislative intent which clearly makes a suicide with a history of domestic violence a suspicious death case warranting a full investigation, interviews with family members and an autopsy. While Casey has spent his career seeking to prevent homicides from happening in the first place, the worst injustice is letting someone get away with murder.

For 25 years, we've heard the people who fell from the Twin Towers on 9/11 described as “jumpers.” Former New York City death investigator Barbara Butcher tells Michael why that word is wrong—and why every victim who died that day was officially classified as a homicide.

**Clay Edwards Show — September 15, 2026** Guests: Creston Berch (in studio) & Zach Servis (Hour 2) An old friend texts Clay at 9 p.m.: you're making money but you sold your soul. You're a loser. You're not the same Clay from 15–20 years ago. Clay's answer: I sure hope I'm not. That Clay was a partyaholic club promoter who woke up broke on his parents' couch at 34 watching the truck get repoed. Growth isn't selling out. Talking about the people who actually commit the crime around here isn't selling out either. Culture rot is two words, not a conspiracy. One year to the day after Trump signed the Memphis Safe Task Force memo, the scoreboard is ugly for the “positive solutions” crowd: - Homicides down 26–44% - Carjackings cut nearly in half - Violent crime down ~36–40% - 11,700 arrests, 2,000+ illegal guns, 1,200+ known gang members - Beale Street and downtown measurably better than a year ago (still not Disneyland at 2 a.m.) Jackson's numbers are heading the other direction. Homicides up roughly 30–39% year-to-date after years of decline from the 2021 bloodbath. Solve rates are high. The shootings haven't stopped. Auto theft and business robberies are ugly. JPD is short-staffed and everybody knows it. Should John Horhn pick up the phone? Should Tate Reeves? Zach Servis (calling from Texas) and Creston Berch break down why both parties keep finding reasons not to. Politics over body count. Again. Also in Hour 2: the viral Texas-Ohio State crowd shot, H-1Bs, assimilation vs. neighborhood takeover, and why “just enforce the law” still makes half the room clutch pearls. No positivity theater. Just the numbers and the part nobody wants to say out loud.
Three children disappeared into the ocean in the middle of the night. Hours later, they were found along the shoreline of Coney Island, and their mother was wandering barefoot, soaking wet, repeatedly telling family that the children were "gone."As investigators pieced together the final hours before Zachary, Liliana, and Oliver Merdy died, they uncovered years of mental health struggles, custody battles, reports of neglect, and repeated concerns that some believe should have triggered stronger intervention long before that September morning.This episode examines one of New York City's most heartbreaking family tragedies, the guilty plea entered by Erin Merdy, and the ongoing debate over whether the system failed these children.Past Cases Mentioned in this Episode:She Killed Her Children — But Was it Mental Health Illness or Murder? | The Lindsay Clancy Casehttps://murderandlove.com/she-killed-her-children-but-was-it-mental-health-illness-or-murder-the-lindsay-clancy-case/Ate His Eye; He Believed His Brother Had to Be Sacrificed to Save the World | Matthew Hertgenhttps://murderandlove.com/ate-his-eye-he-believed-his-brother-had-to-be-sacrificed-to-save-the-world-matthew-hertgen/**************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about?

Christopher and Eric begin a month of anniversaries, starting with the dark and moving towards the “light in the darkness”, the publication of a special 50th anniversary edition of Premiere Party Person Anne Rice's iconic novel INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE. This year also marks the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, an event your hosts lived through and remember all too well, a truly dark anniversary they've visited only once before in the course of this podcast's 300 plus episodes. (Check out Episode 91 for a truly unexpected look at the worst terrorist attack on American soil.) To honor the humanity this day brought forth, they serve up an episode of their old favorite, HOMICIDE NEW YORK, entitled “9/11/2001”, the final installment of the show's second New York season. This riveting episode chronicles the harrowing personal recollections of members of the NYPD during the attacks on the Twin Towers. Inspired by these intimate accounts of this epic event, we discuss how this historical turning point changed the world as we knew it — and not for the better. Dark Anniversaries Month begins.
The fact that the USSR executed its citizens with little jurisprudence is well known. The word “troika” is synonymous with Stalinist repressions of the 1930s. What is less known is that the Soviet Union's death penalty regime changed significantly in the postwar period. After a brief moratorium adopted by Stalin(!) in 1947, Khrushchev revived capital punishment in 1954 as part of his war on crime. Homicide became a capital offense. The application of the death penalty became professionalized with lawyers, forensics, psychologists, and an appeals process. The narrative of appeals for clemency also changed. Whereas those from the prewar generation often cited a convict's service to the Soviet state, supplicants after the 1960s portrayed themselves as abandoned by the welfare state. In Fate in My Hands, Yana Skorobogatov looked at about a hundred of these death penalty cases and clemency appeals from 1954-1991 to understand this new regime. What were the circumstances of the crimes and their adjudication? How did those on death row make their appeals? And how did the Soviet system correspond with the death penalty in, say, the United States? Knowing nothing about the Soviet death penalty, the Eurasian Knot spoke to Skorobogatov about her book, Fate in My Hand: The Death Penalty in the Soviet Union, and what it means for the postwar USSR and for us as the death penalty once again appears on the political agenda.Guest:Yana Skorobogatov is the Gladys and Roland Harriman Assistant Professor of Russian and Soviet History in the Department of History at Columbia University. She's the author of Fate in My Hands: The Death Penalty in the Soviet Union published by the University of Chicago Press. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Two Boy Scouts found her body beside a tree stump in Kluxen's Woods about two hours later, stabbed 23 times, her hands bound behind her with the kind of cord local rose greenhouses used for shipping. The Madison borough council ordered the arrest of 14-year-old Francis Kluxen III, grandson of the winery's founder, the next day, and a judge released him on bail after calling the arrest unjustified. Morris County prosecutor John M. Mills went after a different man, 29-year-old greenhouse worker Frank Jancarek, on the word of Frank McGrory, a fired ex-convict who claimed Jancarek confessed to him the night of the killing. Jancarek's April 1922 trial in Morristown featured a letter opener with blood under its handle, a single hair that "closely resembled" his, a witness who conferred with the sheriff before picking him from a lineup, and a defense that told jurors to disregard the chemist's findings because he was German; the jury acquitted him in under an hour. Attorney General Thomas F. McCran then won an indictment against Kluxen, whose trial that July turned on his Boy Scout knife, his footprints at the stump and a nearby hydrant, trousers his mother soaked in water that night, and two mended handkerchiefs from the crime scene that a sewing teacher matched to five taken from a cabinet outside his bedroom. That jury deliberated three hours before acquitting him as well. Kluxen was later adopted by Monell Sayre, the wealthy founder of the Episcopal Church Pension Fund, joined the Marine Corps, shot a neighbor named Joe Hollman dead in San Diego in 1933, and went to San Quentin for a string of burglaries in 1934. The chapter, drawn from Troy Taylor's audiobook Suffer the Children: American Horrors, Homicides and Hauntings, closes with the houses now standing where the woods were, where a family with no knowledge of the case reported a thin, light-brown-haired girl appearing in a child's bedroom, and where drivers on Ridgedale and Fairview Avenues describe a girl in an old-fashioned coat and beret who vanishes in their headlights.
