Episode 61 Whispers. The town of Welch, Oklahoma was full of whispers after the bodies of Danny and Kathy Freeman were located in the burned out Freeman home. Whispers about drugs, wrongful deaths, police involvement, intentionally botched investigations, and whispers about where the girls were and who had taken them. The whispers swirled around allegations related to Shane Freeman's death after a Craig County Sheriff's Deputy shot him on a rural Oklahoma road nearly a year before. The whispers discussed accusations of drug debts and methamphetamine rings. The whispers built theories. And some of the whispers would eventually harden into statements, allegations, and testimony but it would take years, decades even. In this episode of Crime to Burn, we take you through the whispers and the theories swirling around the Freeman's deaths and the disappearances of Lauria Bible and Ashley Freeman in the early days of the investigation because whispers can spread through a community like wildfire, and the Bible family was willing to consider every whisper in their relentless search for their missing daughter.

On this episode we talk about the kidnapping and murder of Shirley "Sissy" Beaty with author Jax Miller Shirley "Sissy" Armond Beaty went missing from her Oklahoma City home sometime in the early morning hours of June 3, 1975. She was six years old. Around 4 am, Sissy's uncle, Bryan, who lived with Sissy's family that had recently relocated to Oklahoma City, noticed that Sissy had crawled into bed with him. He dozed back off, but when Sissy's mother and sister woke up around 6am, Sissy was nowhere to be found. It became apparent to everyone, including law enforcement that Sissy hadn't simply runaway or wandered off. First, it was the middle of the night when she would have gone missing. Second, Sissy was incredibly shy, timid, and deathly afraid of storms. The night she disappeared had been a stormy one. Another reason for believing the girl had been taken was that she disappeared with only what she had worn to bed, a long t-shirt and her socks, and a blanket. The room that Sissy had been in with her uncle had another bed in it as well, with her older sister and her sister's friend who had been sleeping over sleeping in it. The bedroom they had all been sleeping in had a door that led outside of the home. Authorities checked the door and found that it made no sounds when opened or closed. Sissy's sister would tell authorities that sometime in the night she thought she had heard Sissy calling out, but had written it off as a nightmare and gone back to sleep. A full scale search for Sissy was launched, but no evidence of any sort was found. Several people fell under suspicion right away: Sissy's uncle Bryan, Sissy's father, Sissy's grandfather, and James Sullivan, a friend of uncle Bryan's. Her father and grandfather were cleared in short order. Her uncle would bring suspicion on himself by telling authorities wild stories about what happened to Sissy that would turn out to be false before ultimately being cleared. James Sullivan would be polygraphed, and remain a suspect. On September 25th, 1975, a man out searching for tree seedlings in a cedar grove on SW Pennsylvania Avenue found human remains that would turn out to be that of a female child. Sissy's mother would identify the remains as being her daughter's when the police showed her the scraps of clothing found with the skeletonized remains It's believed strangulation is a possible cause of death, though the state of the remains when discovered made it difficult to determine. Shortly after Sissy's remains were found, authorities charged James Sullivan with Sissy's murder. Charges would be dropped a month later after the case fell apart due to lack of evidence. No one else has ever been publicly named a suspect or ever charged in the kidnapping and murder of Shirley “Sissy” Beaty. Sissy was a sweet and affectionate little girl who loved playing baseball. She was extremely afraid of the dark and of storms. She would not have left the house under any circumstances. As friendly as Sissy was, she was also shy and would not go willingly with strangers.

This week we are taking another look at “Hell in the Heartland” by Jax Miller. My guest today is Linda Davis, executive director and co-founder of Families Against Narcotics. If you were with us last week, you'll remember that “Hell in the Heartland” tells the almost unbelievable story of murders, missing girls, marijuana, meth, and one amazing mom. If you haven't listened to last week's episode you will definitely want to catch it ASAP! As the time that Ashely Freeman and Lauria Bible had been missing went from days, to weeks, to months, and then to years, Lauria's mother Lorene kept searching for answers. She was always pushing herself to do the next thing that needed done in order to find her child. Eventually, her investigation led her to believe that Danny Freeman's connections to drug dealers set everything in motion. One of the things that is most important to the folks at Families Against Narcotics is their belief that all people are worthy and deserving of being treated respectfully. I believe that Jesus teaches this in Mark chapter 12 verse 31 when he says, “...You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'” Think about how you felt when you were at the lowest point in your life. I know I would be more accepting of help if I felt that I was still seen as having value. If I was treated as someone would want me to treat them if our positions were reversed. Is this where you need to get out of the audience and into the action? When we all work together, we can be unstoppable!

She's also a tremendous advocate for families and especially moms, who often spend years trying to find the truth about what happened to their missing or murdered child. “Hell in the Heartland” tells the almost unbelievable story of murders, missing girls, marijuana, meth, and one amazing mom. I love the name of the non-profit that I get to share with you this week: Mothers in Charge. This amazing organization works to prevent violence and supports youth, young adults, families, and communities affected by violence. They have chapters in several different states, but if there isn't one near you maybe you need to talk to them about starting one!

Hell in the Heartland: Murder, Meth, and the Case of Two Missing Girls by Jax Miller On December 30, 1999, in rural Oklahoma, sixteen-year-old Ashley Freeman and her best friend, Lauria Bible, were having a sleepover. The next morning, the Freeman family trailer was in flames and both girls were missing. While rumors of drug debts, revenge, and police corruption abounded in the years that followed, the case remained unsolved and the girls were never found. In 2015, crime writer Jax Miller--who had been haunted by the case--decided to travel to Oklahoma to find out what really happened on that winter night in 1999, and why the story was still simmering more than fifteen years later. What she found was more than she could have ever bargained for: evidence of jaw-dropping levels of police negligence, entire communities ravaged by methamphetamine addiction, and a series of interconnected murders with an ominously familiar pattern. These forgotten towns were wild, lawless, and home to some very dark secrets. About Jax Miller Jax Miller is an American author. She wrote her first novel, Freedom's Child, in her twenties while hitchhiking across America, winning the 2016 Grand Prix des Lectrices de Elle and earning several CWA Dagger nominations. She has received acclaim from the New York Times, NPR, Entertainment Weekly, and many more. She now works in the true-crime genre, having penned her much-anticipated book and acting as creator, host, and executive producer on the true-crime documentary series Hell in the Heartland on CNN's HLN network. Jax is a lover of film and music, and has a passion for writing screenplays and rock 'n' roll.

Our guest is the true-crime writer Jax Miller, who joins us to discuss her new book. "Hell in the Heartland" documents a stranger-than-fiction cold case from rural Oklahoma that has stumped authorities for some two decades. The book is called "Hell in the Heartland: Murder, Meth, and the Case of Two Missing Girls." As was noted by Library Journal: "True crime fans who are fascinated by the dark side of rural life and police incompetence, and open to a somewhat ambiguous ending, will find much to savor."
It's a cornucopia of accents on the show this week as four authors from all over the world discuss four very different books. With Gigi Pandian, David Joy, Poppy Gee and Jax Miller.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jax Miller is an American author. While hitchhiking across America in her twenties, she wrote her first novel, Freedom's Child, for which she won the 2016 Grand Prix des Lectrices de Elle and earned several CWA Dagger nominations. She has received acclaim from the New York Times, NPR, Entertainment Weekly, and many more. She now works in the true-crime genre, having penned her much-anticipated book and acting as creator, host, and executive producer on the true-crime documentary series Hell in the Heartland on CNN's HLN network. Jax is a lover of film and music, and has a passion for rock 'n' roll and writing screenplays. Like Michelle McNamara in I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, Miller delicately unravels a decades-long mystery. Along the way, she uncovers a second story about a forgotten region. Like Brian Reed in S-Town, Miller pierces a broken rural community ensnared by drugs and poverty, and is drawn into the lives of people trapped within its cycle. She also investigates theories of police corruption, and discovers jaw-dropping evidence of negligence and mismanagement. Among the most well-known examples is that the parents of Lauria Bible actually discovered one of the two burnt bodies left in the trailer, a full day after investigators combed the scene. Miller chronicles not just the crime at hand but the deterioration of her own mental health as she puts her life on the sidelines in an obsessive quest to find the girls and see the case through authorities’ first arrest. She has dug for bodies, faced down the barrel of a gun, sat with meth heads, taken criminals’ confessions, and endured death threats she is still too scared to discuss. A former addict, Miller was able to get into the dark corners of a region ravaged by methamphetamine, speaking with hundreds of sources, many of whom remained fearful to come forward years after the crime. Miller’s docuseries of the same name premiered on HLN in 2019. HELL IN THE HEARTLAND’s exquisite prose is drawing early comparisons to Hillbilly Elegy and Educated from Penguin sales reps, and belongs on the shelf next to American Predator, The Fact of a Body, Say Nothing and other pivotal true crime narratives.

On December 29, 1999, high school friends Lauria Jaylene Bible and Ashley Renae Freeman spent the evening together celebrating Freeman's sixteenth birthday. Bible received permission from her parents to spend the night at Freeman's home. Earlier that day, the girls had spent time at a local pizza restaurant with Kathy Freeman. At approximately 5:30 am on December 30, 1999, a passerby called 911 reporting that the Freeman home was engulfed in flames. Law enforcement determined the fire had been arson. Inside the home, the charred remains of Kathy Freeman were discovered lying on the floor of her bedroom; she had been shot in the head. Initially, no other remains were relocated, leading local law enforcement to believe Dan Freeman had killed his wife and fled with both teenage girls. Lauria's parked car was in the driveway of the home with the keys in the ignition. On December 31, Lauria's parents Lorene and Jay Bible returned to the scene, hoping to find additional clues law enforcement may have missed. While walking through the rubble, they discovered what appeared to be another body, and called police. The second body was determined to be that of Dan Freeman, Ashley's father; like his wife, he had also been shot in the head. After this discovery, the scene was reexamined, but no sign of Lauria Bible or Ashley Freeman was found. In 2010, the Freeman family initiated court proceedings to have Ashley declared legally dead Suspects and confessions In the decade following the disappearance of Bible of Freeman, two convicted killer—Tommy Lynn Sells and Jeremy Jones—confessed to murdering them, but subsequently recanted their admissions. Jones had claimed that he murdered Dan and Kathy Freeman as a favor for a friend over drug debt, then took the girls to Kansas, where he sot them and threw their bodies into an abandoned mine. Searches of the mine Jones identified proved unfruitful, however, and Jones subsequently admitted he had fabricated the story in order to get better food and additional phone privileges in prison In a 2001 profile on Unsolved Mysteries, it was mentioned that rumors had circulated among locals that the Craig County Police Department had been feuding with the Freemans at the time over the death of their son, Shane, who was shot by a deputy after stealing a car. While his death was ruled justifiable, the Freemans had threatened to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Dan Freeman's brother, Dwayne, claimed that Dan had confided that deputies had tried to intimidate him. Article/Info Credit: Wikipedia This Episode In this episode, I talk with Jax Miller and Sarah Cailean as to their involvement in this ongoing investigation and how Jax, as a true crime writer, and Sarah, as a police investigator, team up to uncover new clues and sparked the attention of Law Enforcement which moves this case forward.

Tasha Alexander: "The Adventuress": In this newest entry in the New York Times bestselling series by Tasha Alexander, Lady Emily Hargreaves travels to the south of France where an apparent suicide may be something far more sinister. Jax Miller: "Freedom's Child": There’s a lot people don’t know about Freedom Oliver. What they don’t know is that Freedom is not her real name.

They don’t know that she put her two children up for adoption, a decision that haunts her every day. Joe Clifford: "Lamentation": n a frigid New Hampshire winter, Jay Porter is trying to eke out a living and maintain some semblance of a relationship with his former girlfriend and their two-year-old son.

After Jay negotiates his brother’s release from the county jail, Chris disappears into the night. As Jay begins to search for him, he is plunged into a cauldron of ugly lies and long-kept secrets that could tear apart his small hometown and threaten the lives of Jay and all those he holds dear. Powerful forces come into play that will stop at nothing until Chris is dead and the information he harbors is destroyed.
Suspense Radio is back with 90 minutes of fantastic author interviews. Three authors will be on today's show bringing you their unique style of writing. Jeanne Ryan lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family. She is author of the thriller Nerve, which is being adapted into an upcoming Lionsgate feature film, and Charisma.She dreams of the day scientists develop a DNA alteration for flying. In the meantime, writing provides her wings. Jax Miller was born and raised in New York but currently lives in the Irish countryside. In 2013 she was shortlisted for the Crime Writers Association Debut Dagger award for her first (unpublished) novel titled ‘The Assassin’s Keeper’ under the pseudonym Aine O Domhnaill. Jax is an avid lover of film and a self-proclaimed comic nerd. David Bell worked a series of odd jobs—waiter, bartender, book store clerk, telemarketer—in a series of odd places—Shreveport, Louisiana; Savannah, Georgia; Washington D.C. After six years of that, he decided he had had enough of the real world and went to graduate school for creative writing. During graduate school, David wrote a few novels, which still survive on his hard drive but have not been published, and sold some short stories to journals large and small—Western Humanities Review, Backwards City Review, The Edge: Tales of Suspense. Some of these journals still exist even after publishing David’s work.
On today's show I meet author Jax Miller whose debut novel ‘Freedom's Child' is in shops now and causing quite a stir.She talks very openly and candidly about the heartbreak that prompted her to write the book, why the act of writing was essentially a life-saver for her, and how the instant success has been tough to deal with. We chat about how the book came to life, how she identified so strongly with Freedom Oliver – the main character – and her influences, which are more visual than literary.It's a great listen, Jax is fantastic and funny and warm, and I hope you enjoy the show. You can follow her on Twitter @JaxMillerAuthor, and you can pick up Freedom's Child in a bookshop near you today.
