This week, in Kankakee, Illinois, a phone call from the police, telling a man that there's been a burglary at one of his properties send him out of the house in the middle of the night. The next call that comes to the house will be a ransom call, demanding $1 million for the man's safe return. These kidnappers also tell the family that the kidnapped man is being kept in a box, buried in the ground, with 48 hours of oxygen. Either come up with the money... or he dies! A real white knuckle kind of episode!Along the way, we find out that at least some members of The Sugar Hill Gang are still alive, that you probably don't want to kidnap a personal friend of the governor, and that it's hard to estimate how much oxygen a PVC pipe can deliver to an underground box!!Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie WhismanNew episodes every Thursday!Donate at: patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.comGo to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder & Crime In Sports!Follow us on...twitter.com/@murdersmallfacebook.com/smalltownpodinstagram.com/smalltownmurderAlso, check out James & Jimmie's other show, Crime In Sports!

In this month's episode, you will meet Alex Quezada. Alex serves as Hispanic Ministry Coordinator at St. John Paul II Catholic Parish in Kankakee Illinois. Alex has also been working as Relief & Development Coordinator at the office for Human Dignity in the Diocese of Joliet since 20019. As an immigrant from Mexico, Alex works to promote social justice for all following the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. Given our shared cultural identities, we talked a lot about the immigrant experience but also touch on racial justice in the black community as well. We talked about the importance of names and the different ways immigrants like him have to put aside core parts of their identity just to be able to fit in to this country. We also talk about a really tough question his daughter once asked him while in High School and how she's developed into an anti-racist advocate. Key Points Immigrants often have to renounce parts of their core identity just to fit in. Examples range from changing the pronunciation of your name or using a different name entirely to attire. If immigrants showed up in every space, but in particular professional settings, as their authentic selves they would be countercultural. This raises the question that Alex's own daughter once asked: why are immigrants always the ones who have to make such accommodations? The Hispanic immigrant community espouses many positive values that could contribute to the broader society. These values link to the catholic social teaching principles of family, community, and participation.

LG of the band Thelma and the Sleaze brings us all the way back to her early adolescence in Kankakee Illinois. Surviving a childhood marked by head lice, fights, all kinds of trouble making and being the stinky kid in school LG is pulled more and more toward her own desire to play rock music especially when she hears songs by female fronted bands like Belly and the Cranberries. She also knows right away that she doesn't want to play with any boys. A run-in with some missionaries grants her some guitar lessons and the unusual experience of becoming accidentally Mormon, and the rest is history. Listen to LG's podcast The Queen of S--- Mountain.
