The man in the Philly House of Horrors videos died before anyone found the footage. Raymond “R.C.” Horsch was eighty-two. Lung disease. Never charged with a violent crime in his life. His son Eugene is the one in federal custody—on gun and credential charges from a parking-violation traffic stop that cracked the whole case open.That June 2026 stop at Independence Mall led investigators to 417 West Chew Avenue in Olney. Inside: a 55-gallon drum connected to water lines, containers of chemicals, and more than a million digital files on fifty hard drives. Seven missing women are linked to the house. Five are believed dead based on the footage. No bodies have been recovered.R.C. Horsch was a National Merit Scholar, convicted counterfeiter, meth cook, and fugitive who spent decades recruiting women struggling with addiction from Kensington. A 1985 federal psych eval diagnosed paranoid personality disorder and called him “consumed by anger.” His ex-wife Amy McHale vanished from the house in 2016. Her family told police. Nothing happened.Eugene faces federal charges for the guns and fake DEA credentials found in his car. He has not been charged in connection with any of the missing women. The videos police have described show his father, not him.The FBI has reviewed thirty percent of the evidence. The suspect who cannot answer for the rest is already dead.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The man police believe is in the Philly House of Horrors footage died in his bed in May 2025—a full year before a park ranger's traffic stop blew the case open. He was eighty-two. He was never charged with a violent crime. And he can never be prosecuted.His name was Raymond “R.C.” Horsch—father of Eugene Horsch, the man sitting in federal custody on gun and credential charges after the June 2026 stop at Independence Mall. The search of their shared home at 417 West Chew Avenue in Olney uncovered a 55-gallon drum connected to water lines, containers of chemicals, and more than a million files across fifty hard drives.Seven women are linked to the house. Five are believed dead. No bodies have been found. The figure in the videos is R.C., not Eugene. Eugene has not been charged with harming anyone.R.C. Horsch had an IQ of 140, a criminal record stretching back to 1973, and decades of recruiting women from Kensington. A 1985 federal psych eval called him “consumed by anger.” His ex-wife vanished from the house in 2016. A missing woman's photo sat on his website for years. None of that opened the front door. A parking violation did.The FBI has reviewed thirty percent of the evidence. The rest is waiting.

Había una vez...Un cuento, un mito y una leyenda

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía una vez una pareja de esposos que llevaban mas de 50 años de feliz matrimonio.. Sin embargo bajo la paz y la tranquilidad de aquel hogar algo turbio se presentía. Como todos los días El reloj de péndulo del vestíbulo daba las cinco con una puntualidad insultante, propia de un hogar donde nada, absolutamente nada, se había salido jamás de su cauce.Mary Smith sirvió el té con pulso de cirujano. El sonido del chorro contra la porcelana de la taza fue la única perturbación en aquel salón victoriano de cortinas aterciopeladas. Frente a ella, como si fuera un conejo frente a un perro cazador.Hacía exactamente tres semanas desde aquella  conversación que Tomas recordaba claramente..Mientras el se encotraba plácidamente leyendo el periódico en su butaca preferida Mary le había preguntado sin ninguna razón aparente como le gustaría morir si el pudiera escoger. Tomas extrañado le respondió que nunca lo había pensado pero que eran temas que no quería discutir. Mary simplemente se sonrio y siguió haciendo los deberes de la casa. Tres semanas en que el señor Tomas Smith no había vuelto a respirar con los pulmones llenos—¿Te apetece una galleta de jengibre, querido? —preguntó Mary con una dulzura cristalina, empujando el plato de plata—. Tienen un toque picante exquisito. Canela, clavo... y una pizca de almendra amarga.A Tomas se le heló la saliva. Almendra amarga.  El que era un asiduo lector de novelas de mistrerio algo le recordaba ese supuesto sabor. Era el sabor del ácido cianhídrico mejor conocido en sus novelas como Cianuro.—No tengo apetito, Mary. Gracias. Respondió en ese momento con una voz Temblorosa.—Qué lástima. Esta muy sabroso.  Tomas. Mary dio un sorbo minucioso a su té, levantando el meñique con la distinción que correspondía a una dama de Kensington. Luego, con total parsimonia, se levantó a ajustar las cortinas. Al pasar por detrás del sillón de su marido, su mano rozó con delicadeza la nuca de Tomas.El hombre se encogió de golpe, como si una víbora le hubiese rozado la piel. Las palpitaciones le martillaban las sienes. Cada fibra de su espalda esperaba el golpe seco de un pisapapeles de bronce, o el frío de una navaja de afeitar deslizándose entre las vértebras. —Tienes tensión en las cervicales, pobre mío —murmuró ella desde la penumbra del cortinaje—. Deberías darte un buen baño caliente antes de la cena. He dejado todo listo en el piso de arriba.El baño.La mente de Tomas proyectó de inmediato la bañera de patas de león, el agua humeante, y aquel viejo calentador eléctrico cuyo cableado siempre había chisporroteado un poco junto a los azulejos húmedos. Podía verla a ella: envuelta en su bata de seda, empujando suavemente el aparato con la punta de una zapatilla acolchada mientras él flotaba indefenso entre la espuma.—Prefiero no ducharme hoy —balbuceó Tomas con la voz agrietada—. El médico dijo que el agua muy caliente no conviene a mi presión.—Como gustes, tesoro. Solo procuro tu bienestar.Los días siguientes se transformaron para Tomas en un tablero de ajedrez infernal donde las piezas eran invisibles. Vivir se convirtió en una tortura constante esperando el desenlace final. Bien preparado estaba debido a todas las novelas que entretenían sus días y noches de retirado.Si Mary le servía sopa de verduras, él se quedaba mirando los guisantes flotar, convencido de que uno de ellos portaba la dosis microscópica de estricnina calculada para desgarrarle las tripas a medianoche. Si le ofrecía un vaso de agua, él esperaba a que ella se girara para disimuladamente volcarlo en la maceta del helecho (que, para mayor tortura de sus nervios, comenzó a secarse a los cuatro días).El coche nunca más fue utilizado. La sola idea de presionar el freno y sentir el pedal hundirse blando y vacío en la bajada de High Street le provocaba sudores fríos que empapaban sus sábanas. Subir al dormitorio era una odisea alpina: se aferraba al pasamanos con ambas manos, tanteando cada escalón de roble con la punta del zapato, convencido de que Mary había untado con jabón la madera o encerado a traición la penúltima curva. Eso también había sucedido en una de las novelas de la autora de misterio que tanto le gustaba. Y Mary, mientras tanto, no hacía nada.Absolutamente nada.Se limitaba a bordar pájaros en bastidores de lino, a leer los obiturarios del periódico buscando el nombre de algún conocido y a mirarlo atentamente con una sonrisa en sus labios. Era la mirada de quien observa germinar una semilla particularmente lenta. Cuando sus ojos se cruzaban con los de él sobre el periódico matutino, Mary le dedicaba una leve inclinación de cabeza, serena, cómplice, casi compasiva, como diciéndole: «Aún no, querido. Pero pronto».Al tercer mes, Tomas ya no dormía. Pasaba las noches sentado en el borde del colchón, de espaldas a la pared, con los párpados pegados por el insomnio y una vela consumiéndose en la mesilla. Si cerraba los ojos, podía sentir que cada sonido correspondía a algún acto sospechoso de Mary. Posiblemente estaría tomando el candelabro de plata del recibidor;  o ese silbido podía ser que ella estaria abriendo y dejando escapar el gas de la cocina. Tambien lo había leído en algún libro.Al quinto mes, el doctor Moris acudió a la residencia de la pareja alertado por el aspecto fantasmal de Tomas. El  había perdido veintidós kilos ya que no se atrevia a comer casi nada. Su piel tenía el tinte grisáceo y sus manos temblaban con tal furia que no lograba sostener una cuchara.—Tiene el pulso en un hilo—diagnosticó el médico en el pasillo, bajando la voz—. Una taquicardia galopante, delirio persecutorio y un agotamiento nervioso absoluto. Me temo que su corazón no resistirá otro mes. Es un caso insólito de colapso vegetativo.—Es terrible, doctor —suspiró Mary secándose una lágrima invisible con un pañuelo de encaje—. Ha sido tan repentino... Si supiera cuánto rezo todas las noches a los pies de su cama.Y era cierto. Rezaba con devoción ejemplar. Siempre pidiéndole algo a su Dios.La última semana, Tomas yacía en la cama  del dormitorio principal, consumido, con la mirada fija en el techo de molduras blancas. Mary se sentó a su lado, tomó su mano esquelética entre las suyas y le acarició los nudillos con ternura infinita.—Tranquilo, Tomas —le susurró con voz aterciopelada, acercándose a su oído—. Descansa. Ya casi termina.Tomas la miró. Buscó el veneno en su vaso, el cable en el suelo, el arma bajo su cama. No había nada. La habitación estaba impecable, limpia, ventilada, desprovista de cualquier peligro físico. Solo estaba ella, mirándolo morir sin haber movido un solo dedo.El corazón de Tomas, exhausto de batirse contra un enemigo que nunca dio un golpe, dio tres latidos arrítmicos, un chasquido sordo en el pecho, y se detuvo para siempre.El entierro en el cementerio de St. Judas fue sobrio y concurrido. Todos los vecinos de la parroquia elogiaron la entereza admirable de la viuda, quien, de riguroso luto y con velo de gasa negra, depositó una solitaria rosa blanca sobre la lápida de mármol.Aquella noche, de regreso a la solitaria casa de Kensington, Mary subió la escalera sin prisa, pisando con firmeza el centro de cada peldaño. Entró en el cuarto de baño, encendió las luces, llenó la bañera hasta el borde con sales aromáticas y se sumergió en el agua caliente, dejando que el vapor disipara cincuenta años de tedio conyugal.Antes de cerrar los ojos para disfrutar del silencio absoluto de la casa, Mary unió las manos sobre el pecho, miró hacia el cielo raso y murmuró con sincera y humilde gratitud:—Gracias, Señor misericordioso. Bien sabes que una dama jamás debería ensuciarse las manos.

In this explosive episode, Joe blows the lid off the institutional corruption, election integrity loopholes, and corporate backroom deals threatening the bedrock of our republic. We break down shocking allegations of mass mail-in ballot copying in Milwaukee and examine a Delaware court judge ordering Fox Corp to dump hundreds of internal documents—exposing how corporate media and political machines hide behind closed doors while ordinary Americans are left paying the price.Next, Joe takes you directly to the frontlines of the battle for America's major cities with special guest John Allante McAuley, leader of the Flip Philly Red initiative. John shares his unfiltered experiences taking on the Philadelphia City Council, standing up against sanctuary city policies, and confronting the harsh realities of open-air drug markets in neighborhoods like Kensington. Joe explores how grassroots conservative activism is actively breaking decades of one-party Democratic rule, reaching urban communities, and offering a bold vision of economic liberty, public safety, and genuine community empowerment.Finally, Joe exposes the "America Second" agenda sweeping across local governments—from Boston paying illegal immigrants to become political activists to cities facing lawsuits over religious discrimination. As radical progressive policies prioritize non-citizens, public schools deliver decades of civic indoctrination, leaving a third of Americans unable to name the three branches of government while views on socialism rise. Joe pulls back the curtain on these interconnected threats, showing how systemic media silence, border chaos, and civic decay are shaping the political battlefield ahead of the upcoming midterms—and what everyday patriots must do to take their country back.

Robin has COVID, a 103 degree fever, and a voice held together with tape. The episode goes out anyway, because Olney won't stop breaking. It is 100% unedited, so what you're hearing is what you're getting. Sorry, folks. THE OLNEY HOUSE, PART THREE: ACCESSNew reporting from the Philadelphia Inquirer says the late pornographer Raymond "R.C." Horsch had access to a Kensington crematorium connected to the Garzone Funeral Home. The owners of that funeral home later pleaded guilty to selling more than 240 corpses for body parts. Sources say Horsch paid an employee in drugs and cash so he could photograph and film the dead. Years later, he staged a gallery show that ended with a woman's body going into an incinerator.We also cover:- Two women who posed for Horsch inside the Chew Avenue house describe the smell, the mold, and the one rule about the basement- Blair Tonzelli's former roommate tells 6abc the Horsches used Kensington's streets as a hunting ground- New details from the June traffic stop that started the case- Eugene Horsch's federal trial moves to March (a correction to our last episode)- The self-written Wikipedia page, the pen name, and the 1973 film title that says it all- Why the same number, 58, keeps coming up- Police plans for a deeper search that could mean removing walls and floorboardsSeven women are connected to the house, and police believe five are dead. No bodies have been recovered and no one has been charged with homicide. R.C. Horsch died in 2025 and was never charged in connection with the missing women. Eugene Horsch faces federal weapons and false credential charges, is not charged in connection with any of the women, and is presumed innocent.NEWS DROP: CLAVICULARBraden Peters, the 20 year old looksmaxxing streamer known as Clavicular, is charged in Orleans District Court in Massachusetts with rape, drugging a person for sexual intercourse, and procuring liquor for a person under 21. The charges stem from an alleged May 2025 incident in Chatham involving a 17 year old. Peters denies the allegations. He has not been arraigned and has not entered a plea, and he is presumed innocent. His arraignment is set for October 14. We also look at the podcast circuit that kept booking him all summer.NEWS DROP: NOLAN WELLSA Jackson County, Mississippi grand jury returned no indictments in the death of 18 year old Nolan Wells.

Chaz Holesworth grew up in Kensington, Philadelphia, a neighbourhood gutted by poverty and an opioid crisis that hasn't let up since the 1980s. His father was a heroin addict for over 20 years. His mother, overwhelmed and unsupported, pulled the family into a fundamentalist born-again church that cut them off from the outside world, banned music and movies, and taught Chaz from age four that he was one sinful thought away from hell. In this episode, Chaz talks about what it was like growing up in a condemned house with roaches and rats, dodging drug dealers and police raids on his own street, and how, underneath all of it, a stricter kind of damage was being done: guilt, fear, and an OCD compulsion to "cleanse" his own thoughts before he was allowed to pray. We talk about the moment a random kid at an arcade played him R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" and how that song, and the ones that came after, became the closest thing he had to a way out. We talk about his father's addiction, his own careful relationship with alcohol as an adult, the sister he lost to cancer, and the breakdown in his 20s; he says he still doesn't know how he survived. Chaz has now written his story into a memoir series — Life and How to Live It — with each book named after an R.E.M. song. He talks candidly about why putting it on paper did what years of therapy couldn't, why he doesn't believe you get to "move past" your childhood so much as build a life alongside it, and what he'd say to anyone still carrying guilt for things that were never their fault to begin with. This is a raw and honest conversation about poverty, religion, addiction, music, and what's left of a person once they've survived thier childhood trauma. Find Chaz: Website: chazholesworthbooks.com Books: Life and How to Live It series, available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble Content note: This conversation includes discussion of childhood trauma, poverty, heroin addiction, controlling religion, bereavement, OCD, suicidal thoughts and alcohol use.

Ep. 86 – Inside the Unpredictable World of Fugitive Apprehension: Tristin Kilgallon, Former Philly Warrant Unit Investigator

Ep. 86 - Tristin Kilgallon, a former warrant investigator with the Philly Warrant Unit joins me for a no-holds-barred look at the world of fugitive apprehension in one of the country's toughest cities.Our conversation is based on Tristin's book Philly Warrant Unit which he co-authored with his partner and lifelong friend Sgt. Mark Fusetti. They were part of a three-man team working “last out” – an 11:00 pm to 7:00 am shift. They were assigned priority cases like probation detainers and judge-only bench warrants but also had the freedom to choose where in the city they wanted to work and which cases to pursue.One of those areas was Kensington, one of Philly's most famous and infamous neighborhoods. It was the setting for the Rocky movies as well as a real-life zombie land of the drug addicted, an area rife not only with drugs but also prostitution and violence.The people Tristin and his partners encountered ranged from dangerous criminals to those whose lives had been destroyed by addiction. Their stories can be funny and bizarre, but more often than not, incredibly sad. We talk about the revolving door of the legal system and what it's like to repeatedly arrest the same people, only to see them back on the street.We also get into tactics. When you're doing some of the most dangerous work in law enforcement, tactics – as those of you listening know - can mean the difference between life and death. Tristin takes us inside the process of clearing a house, searching for suspects and the art of breaching. And we cover the unique – and I mean unique – places fugitives found to hide including refrigerators, washing machines, storage bins and more.After leaving the Warrant Unit, Tristin earned his law degree and went on to teach criminal justice at the university level for 15 years. That part of his career leads to another important conversation—one I also had in Ep. 80 with retired SFPD Deputy Chief Jim Dudley, host of Policing Matters: the influence of criminal justice professors and the anti-cop narrative many are teaching to the next generation.The interview, like the book is a fascinating look inside a specialized unit that most people know very little about.Thank you, Tristin!Buy the book on Amazon!Check out the Facebook page for the book:https://www.facebook.com/PhillyWarrantUnitConnect with Tristin:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tristin-kilgallon-2a99a23b8/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tristinkilgallon/X:@tmkilgallon https://x.com/tmkilgallonConnect with Sgt.

In 2014, Raymond “R.C.” Horsch published a book called Empathy: The Memoir of an Empathetic Serial Killer. He described strangling a woman named “Krista,” driving to an industrial supplier off Packer Avenue, buying a drum of sodium hydroxide, and using forty pounds of lye to dissolve her in a basement bathtub. He said it was fiction.R.C. died in May 2025. He was eighty-two. Never charged with a violent crime.

The father published the method. The son inherited the house. Five women appear dead on the hard drives. And nobody opened the door until a parking violation forced it.Raymond “R.C.” Horsch—National Merit Scholar, IQ of 140, convicted counterfeiter, meth cook, fugitive, filmmaker—spent decades recruiting women from Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood to appear in his violent films and photos. He paid them with cash and drugs. He called the violence simulated. In 2014, he published a book under his own name describing how to strangle a woman and dissolve her body in a basement bathtub with lye.R.C. died in May 2025 at eighty-two, uncharged with any violent crime. His son Eugene, born in New Zealand while R.C. was living under a stolen identity, was left with the house at 417 West Chew Avenue in Olney.On June 19, 2026, a park ranger at Independence Mall pulled Eugene over.

Eugene faces federal gun and credential charges and has not been charged in connection with any of the women.A 1985 federal psych evaluation called R.C. “consumed by anger” and “excessively controlling.” Prosecutors re-read that file in 2009.

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.

Who's afraid of realism?: ‘The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie' by Muriel Spark

When Muriel Spark describes the art teacher, Mr Lloyd, in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, she writes that ‘most wonderful of all, he had only one arm, the right, with which he painted'. The loss of an arm was hardly wonderful for Mr Lloyd, but for the girls at the centre of the novel it is a rich source of fascination, and Spark's description exemplifies her use of one of the classic realist tools, free indirect style, to fill her short book with the life and character of adolescent girlhood at an Edinburgh school in the 1930s. In this episode, James Wood considers the ways in which Spark, like Nabokov, gave the grammar of realism a post-modernist treatment to interrogate what it means to tell the story of a life. He considers the influence of Miss Brodie's tyrannical, charismatic personality on the structure of the book itself, with its use of flash-forwards to suggest a Calvinistic, omniscient narrator, and the effect of Spark's Dickensian leitmotif that sets the novelistic desire for knowability against the relentless change of youth.

Studio B - Lobpreisung und Verriss (Ein Literaturmagazin)

Während ich kürzlich an die Westküste der Vereinigten Staaten reiste und dies auch zum Anlass nahm, in meiner aktuellen Rezension einen Roman zu besprechen, der in den USA spielt, ist der Schauplatz eben jenes Werkes, um das es gleich gehen soll, aber auf der anderen Seite des Landes gelegen. Die Rede ist von Philadelphia, eine der bedeutendsten Städte Amerikas und nicht ohne Grund Schauplatz für Liz Moores Roman Long Bright River, denn in dieser schönen und geschichtsträchtigen Stadt, befindet sich eines der schlimmsten Drogenviertel des Landes – Kensington. Vor allem im 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert ein industrielles Zentrum für Textilfabriken, Schiffbau und Fabriken erlebt Kensington durch die Deindustrialisierung der 1960er Jahre einen stetig voranschreitenden Verfall durch Arbeitslosigkeit, Armut, Leerstand und wirtschaftlichen Niedergang, der den Nährboden für die später negative Entwicklung des Viertels, vor allem seines Drogenmarktes, bereitet. Dieser wird seit circa zwei Jahrzehnten von der Droge Fentanyl überschwemmt, der später noch ein Pferde-Beruhigungsmittel, oft Tranq genannt, beigemischt wurde, um das High zu verlängern. Was dabei herauskommt, wenn Menschen dies konsumieren, sind Zombies. Ich habe selbst schon Großstädte in Amerika bereist, in denen ich viel Obdachlosigkeit und auch Drogenmissbrauch auf offener Straße gesehen habe. Die Dokumentationen, die ich mir im Zuge dieser Rezension über Kensington angesehen habe, haben aber ein Ausmaß an Schrecken offenbart, das man sich nicht vorstellen kann, ohne es mit eigenen Augen gesehen zu haben.Liz Moores Roman, veröffentlicht 2020 in Deutschland im Verlag C.H.Beck und ein Jahr davor im amerikanischen Original, spielt hauptsächlich in der Gegenwart. Diese beschreibt das Leben der beiden Geschwister Michaela, meist Mickey genannt und gleichzeitig die Ich-Erzählerin, und ihrer Schwester Kacey. Während Mickey, die Ältere von beiden, als Streifenpolizistin im besagten Bezirk Kensington patrouilliert, ist ihre Schwester Kacey, selbst Opfer der Opioidkrise geworden, und finanziert sich ihre Sucht durch Prostitution. Die beiden Frauen haben damit einen sehr gegensätzlichen Bezug zum Handlungsort, wobei Mickey ihren Beruf nutzt, um ein Auge auf ihre Schwester zu haben, obwohl sie bereits seit fünf Jahren keinen Kontakt mehr zu ihr hat. Die Gründe für deren Funkstille offenbaren sich der Leserin nur langsam und erst spät im Fortgang der Geschichte erklärt sich der wahre Bruch der Schwestern miteinander in Gänze. Kaceys plötzliches Verschwinden und der Beginn einer Reihe ungeklärter Morde an jungen Frauen und Sexarbeiterinnen markieren schließlich den Ausgangspunkt der Geschichte. Diese erzählt Moore abwechselnd unter den Rubriken jetzt und damals.Drogen spielen dabei schon früh im Leben der Mädchen eine Rolle. Mickey ist erst vier Jahre alt, ihre Schwester noch ein Kleinkind, als ihre Mutter im jungen Alter an einer Überdosis Drogen stirbt und die Mädchen fortan bei ihrer Großmutter Gee leben. Diese wird als eher hart und auch die Atmosphäre im Haus als kalt beschrieben. Die Mädchen entwickeln sich sehr unterschiedlich in diesem Umfeld. Während Mickey eher zurückhaltend ist und gern lernt, ist Kacey lebhaft, laut, gern Anführerin, aber auch Verteidigerin gegen Ungerechtigkeiten. Die unterschiedliche Entwicklung der beiden und das gemeinsame Aufwachsen in einem Haushalt, der vor allem von Entbehrung und Lieblosigkeit geprägt beschrieben wird, schafft aber eine Verbindung zwischen den Schwestern, die auch durch die fatalen Ereignisse in der Gegenwart, die sich der Leserin erst nach und nach eröffnen, nicht gänzlich aufgelöst werden kann.Mit Kaceys Verschwinden und Mickeys Suche sowohl nach ihr als auch nach dem Frauenmörder – was nicht ihr Zuständigkeitsbereich ist – eröffnet Moore noch ein weiteres Themenfeld, in dem es um Korruption am Arbeitsplatz und Misstrauen geht. Mickey, die auch privat eher eine Einzelgängerin ist und allein ihren fünfjährigen Sohn Thomas großzieht, erlebt dies am eigenen Leib. Außer ihres ehemaligen Partners bei der Polizei, Truman Dawes, hat sie kaum Verbündete und wird von ihren Kollegen als Bedrohung wahrgenommen, da sie versucht, deren Korruption aufzudecken. Gleichzeitig ist sie, wie alle, auf ihren Job angewiesen, um nicht selbst durch das soziale Netz zu rutschen und so, wie so viele vor ihr, in eine Abwärtsspirale zu geraten.Was Liz Moore zunächst als Thriller oder Detektivgeschichte erscheinen lässt, entpuppt sich als weitverzweigtes thematisches Netz, das sich der Leserin nur langsam in seinen Einzelheiten erschließt. Es ist eine Spurensuche, bei der man auch als Leserin vorsichtig sein muss, wem man traut, denn „sie sind böse und gleichzeitig gut, alle Figuren […] je nachdem.“ (S.311) So heißt es im Roman; es ist wie beim Schach. Alles was Moore beschreibt, habe ich auch in realen Berichten über Kensington wiedergefunden und so mag ihre Geschichte, in deren Zentrum die beiden Schwestern stehen, vielleicht fiktiv sein, was sie beschreibt ist jedoch keine Fiktion. Es ist der Alltag in einer amerikanischen Großstadt, ein Gesellschaftsportrait, welches die massiven Auswirkungen der Opioidkrise zeigt, deren Konsequenz jährlich mehr als 100.000 Drogentote sind und auch die Fragen nach moralischer Verantwortung, Integrität, Hilfe und Moral stellt.Der Long Bright River ist in diesem Fall in mehrerlei Hinsicht symbolhaft. Er ist der leuchtende Fluss auf dem die Betroffenen, die Abhängigen nach dem nächsten Schuss dahingleiten und für eine Weile nichts mehr spüren, genauso wie er den unaufhaltsamen Nachschub an Drogen markiert, die nicht nur diese Stadt, sondern das Land überschwemmen und er ist, so sagt es die Autorin selbst, eine Metapher für all die geliebten Verstorbenen „[...] in einer Reihe, in einem Fluss, ohne Quelle, ohne Mündung, ein langer, leuchtender Fluss verstorbener Seelen.“ This is a public episode.

C'est pour cela qu'autant le manteau que la couronne doivent être crédibles.L'ensemble lui est livré depuis Londres par la couturière elle-même, lors du concert à Paris, dans sa suite à l'Hôtel Royal Monceau. Ça ne peut pas mieux tomber. A deux pas de l'Arc de Triomphe voulu par l'empereur Napoléon, relancé par Louis XVIII et inauguré par son successeur le roi Louis Philippe, Freddie Mercury voit la costumière sortir une vraie couronne du carton et la lui poser sur la tête. Une fois drapé dans son manteau de traîne de plus de dix kilos qui recouvre élégamment son peignoir jaune entrouvert, Freddie prend une pose grandiloquente provoquant les rires de son entourage qui s'était réuni pour prendre le thé.Mais le métier reprend vite ses droits, voulant mettre au point une allure royale de rockstar, il saisit une banane dans la corbeille de fruits en guise de micro et se met à marcher dans la pièce. Mais cette suite n'est pas digne d'un roi, trop exiguë, alors d'une main assurée, Freddie ouvre la porte de la chambre et arpente le couloir de l'étage, déambulant royalement sous les regards éberlués de clients de l'hôtel qui regagnent ou quittent leur chambre.Dix ans après avoir mis au point ce God Save the Queen qui clôturait le disque A Night At The Opera façon Jimi Hendrix, que Freddie avait découvert, par hasard, lors d'un concert d'Eric Clapton dans les années 60, Freddie met enfin la touche finale, manquante au tableau de fin des concerts. Il ne s'agit plus de dire au public, c'est fini, il n'y aura plus de rappel, vous pouvez y aller, mais d'assumer pour le groupe que, oui, la star, c'est Freddie. Même s'il n'est rien sans les autres comme vient encore de prouver son album solo.Non, ils ne sont rien l'un sans l'autre. Freddie avait d'abord connu Roger dans les années 60, partageant la même coloc à Kensington, puis avait découvert le groupe qu'il formait avec Brian et qu'il avait rejoint, avant que John ne vienne compléter le quatuor. Inséparables. Cette année-là, Freddie dira sur scène au public de Wembley, on ne se séparera jamais, on jouera tant qu'on sera en vie. Et à un journaliste qui lui demande pourquoi il continue encore, il répond avec son tac-au-tac légendaire : Parce que je ne sais rien faire d'autre.

Hello and welcome back to the show. Thank you for your listenership and support. This week Greg and Corey are just coming back from a pretty epic trip to Philly where they were accused as cops, offered illicit drugs, berated by the locals, and attended an epic Foo Fighters concert. They make it out sober but barely. Shawn arrives late to the show from an undisclosed location and Danny gives some real life updates with a couple of close encounters with tornadoes. The recovery segment is a mix of being able to go places and do fun things in early sobriety juxtaposing that with longer term sobriety. We talk about what situations it might be smart to stay away from in early sobriety as opposed to the freedom of being able to do these things once we have a solid spiritual foundation under our feet. The importance of going to events and outings with other sober people, especially early on. Then we pivot a bit into the plight of homelessness spawned from what the boys saw in Philly and more specifically, Kensington, on the trip. We talked briefly about some of our own experience with homelessness and just how bad of a scene it is in certain American cities. How it might seem far-fetched to some of us, to others, the jump from solid sobriety and good living to homelessness and devastation isn't that far. “No one can carry tomorrow before it arrives.”          -John CollingeDon't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

In the summer of 1988, Philadelphia was shaken by the murder of four-year-old Barbara Jean Horn, a little girl whose disappearance would become one of the city's most haunting mysteries. For years, detectives searched for the person responsible, following leads through the streets of Kensington and questioning countless people who might have known something about what happened that July afternoon. Nearly six years later, their investigation led them to Walter Ogrod, a quiet Philadelphia man whose name would become permanently intertwined with Barbara's death. What followed was a case filled with disturbing evidence, a controversial confession, competing versions of what happened, and a courtroom battle that would stretch across decades. At its center was a question that seemed, at first, to have a simple answer—but would prove anything but simple: What really happened to Barbara Jean Horn?SOURCES: 1) Supreme Court of PA decisions2) U.S. Supreme Court decisions3) Commonwealth of PA District Attorney's Office Documents4) NBC10 Philadelphia, "Who Killed Barbara Jean?"5) Philadelphia Inquirer Articles6) "The Trials of Walter Ogrod" by Thomas Lowenstein

Released on May 2, 1997, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is a spy comedy written by Mike Myers and directed by Jay Roach.The movie stars Myers in two roles: Austin Powers, an outrageously confident British secret agent from the swinging sixties, and Dr. Evil, the bald, emotionally unavailable criminal mastermind determined to take over the world.The story begins in 1967, when Dr. Evil escapes Austin by launching himself into space and entering cryogenic suspension. With no reason to remain active, Austin volunteers to be frozen until his enemy eventually returns.Thirty years later, Dr. Evil comes back to Earth and threatens the world with a stolen nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, he has been gone so long that he doesn't understand inflation—or how much money a proper international villain should demand.Austin is thawed out to stop him, but he quickly discovers that the free-loving culture of the sixties has been replaced by the very different world of the 1990s.Helping him adjust is Vanessa Kensington, played by Elizabeth Hurley. Vanessa is the daughter of Austin's former partner, Mrs. Kensington, and she isn't immediately impressed by Austin's behavior, appearance or endless supply of ridiculous pickup lines.While Austin tries to adapt, Dr. Evil faces a different kind of culture shock. His criminal organization has become a successful legitimate business, his henchmen occasionally question his logic and he learns that he has a teenage son named Scott.The result is part James Bond parody, part fish-out-of-water comedy and part dysfunctional family therapy session inside a secret underground lair.If you are new to the podcast then please consider following us on the platform that you love, we can be found most anywhere that you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Dawn Stensland kicks off Monday's show celebrating a historic hometown triumph as comedian Shane Gillis breaks two world records at Lincoln Financial Field for the largest audience and most tickets sold for a stand-up performance. Joined by Dan Borowski, we break down the massive crowd dynamic, the surprise appearance by Dave Chappelle, and the star-studded Philly athlete turnout featuring Jason Kelsey. Dawn and the crew analyze Gillis's unique cultural appeal to young conservative and moderate males, highlighting how his decision to hire local Philadelphia production crew sets a fantastic example of giving back to his roots. We shift gears to look at the tragic fallout from a shooting in Kensington where two suspects targeted a homeless encampment, killing a defensive three-year-old dog named Buddy. Dawn takes a hard stance against the enablement of open-air drug markets, referencing how local initiatives like the "Kensington Cam" document a slow-motion tragedy that city leaders refuse to resolve. We debate the historical precedents of mental health institutionalization, the legal rulings from the 1980s under the Supreme Court, and why treating these encampments as "compassionate" only fuels an estuary of crime, sexual abuse, and human vulnerability. Finally, Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis from Surge Philly join the studio after taking their cameras directly into democratic strongholds in Brooklyn. We watch as they trail Trump-endorsed New York gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, who is challenging Kathy Hochul by directly confronting small business owners about soaring electric bills and socialist grocery store takeovers. From engaging in impromptu dance-offs with anti-ICE sidewalk protesters at Foley Square to breaking down a developing incendiary device attack at the lower Manhattan federal building, the team proves that showing up to have tough conversations is the only way to shift the political needle. Plus, general manager Road Warrior calls out the guys, forcing them to commit to this Sunday's Families Behind the Badge "Ben to the Shore" bike ride.

This is Part D of D of Undressing Jack the Stripper, an eight part series made in conjunction with the True Crime Enthusiast podcast.From the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, the bodies of eight sex-workers (Elizabeth Figg, Gwynneth Rees, Hannah Tailford, Irene Lockwood, Helen Barthelemy, Mary Fleming, Margaret McGowan and Bridget O'Hara) were found dumped in or near the River Thames in West London.Panic spread that a sadistic serial killer was on the loose who targeted young petite brunettes; stripped and strangled them, dumped each body within weeks and streets of each other. Yet with not a single witness to his crimes, even though several suspects have since been named, with no convictions, it's a series of killing which remains a mystery to this day.After the success of their ten-part series, Psychopath: Two Side of Patrick MacKay, Mike at Murder Mile and Paul at the True Crime Enthusiast join forces once again to bring you an eight-part crossover series about one of Britain's most infamous unsolved serial killing – Jack the Stripper.This episode is about Helen Barthelemy & Mary Fleming.Location: Civil Defence Building, Hornton Street, Kensington, London, W8Date: Wednesday 25th of November 1964 at 1:30pm (body found)Victims: Margaret McGowan Location: Heron Trading Estate in Acton, West London, London, W3Date: Tuesday 16th of February 1965 (body found)Victims: Bridget O'HaraSeven time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.
