​Since March 2025, at least seven sets of human remains have been discovered across coastal towns in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, sparking public concern over a potential serial killer operating in New England. Identified victims include 35-year-old Paige Fannon, found in the Norwalk River; 59-year-old Denise Leary, discovered in New Haven; and 56-year-old Michele Romano, located in Foster, Rhode Island. Additional remains have been found in Groton, Killingly, and Plymouth, with some victims yet to be identified. Despite the geographic proximity and timing of these discoveries, law enforcement agencies have not confirmed any connections between the cases and caution against speculation.The emergence of these cases has led to increased public interest and online discussions, with a private Facebook group dedicated to the "New England Serial Killer" theory amassing over 57,000 members. Experts acknowledge that while the clustering of these cases is unusual, it does not necessarily indicate a serial killer's involvement.

In this edition of Madison BookBeat, host Sara Batkie speaks with Milwaukee-based author Katharine Beutner about her Edna Ferber Award-winning novel, Killingly, which is out now in paperback from Soho Crime.Massachusetts, 1897: Bertha Mellish, “the most peculiar, quiet, reserved girl” at Mount Holyoke College, is missing. As a search team dredges the pond where Bertha might have drowned, her panicked father and sister arrive desperate to find some clue to her fate or state of mind. Bertha's best friend, Agnes, a scholarly loner studying medicine, might know the truth, but she is being unhelpfully tightlipped, inciting the suspicions of Bertha's family, her classmates, and the private investigator hired by the Mellish family doctor. As secrets from Agnes's and Bertha's lives come to light, so do the competing agendas driving each person who is searching for Bertha. Where did Bertha go? Who would want to hurt her? And could she still be alive?Katharine Beutner takes a real-life unsolved mystery and crafts it into an unforgettable historical portrait of academia, family trauma, and the risks faced by women who dared to pursue unconventional paths at the end of the 19th century. Katharine is an associate professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; previously, she taught in Ohio and Hawai`i. She earned a BA in Classical Studies at Smith College and an MA in English (creative writing) and a PhD in English literature at the University of Texas at Austin. Her first novel, Alcestis, won the Edmund White Debut Fiction Award and was a finalist for other awards, including the Lambda Literary Association's Lesbian Debut Fiction Award.

Author Katharine Beutner takes a trip down memory lane with Laura to discuss their shared experience as editors of their high school literary magazine (!) before turning to a discussion of craft and crime. Beutner discusses the inspiration for her new novel, KILLINGLY; the art of historical fiction; writing novels vs. poetry; research; revision; women's colleges in the late 1800s; evolving attitudes surrounding queerness at the turn of the twentieth century; the ethics of fictionalizing an actual missing-person case; cat fanciers of yore; and more.   Killingly, a New England Gothic novel surrounding the aftermath of a student's disappearance from Mt. Holyoke College in 1897, was published by Soho Press in June 2023. Beutner is also the author of Alcestis, a queer retelling of the Greek myth, originally published in 2010 and re-released by Soho Press in September 2023. This interview was conducted in May 2023.   To see images of Whispering Minds, the high school literary magazine discussed in this episode, follow Ohio Center for the Book's new Instagram account!

Welcome back to another edition of The Meat Grinder, Connecticut's award-winning high school podcast brought to you by GameTimeCT.  We've reached the midpoint of the 2023 season, and what better way to celebrate than diving into a very special Meat Grinder midseason double album. Yes, like the rock legends of old — The Beatles, Floyd, The Stones, Zep, The Who — we've got so much good stuff we're loathe to make any cuts, so we've decided to release it all in one drop. Join hosts Sean Patrick Bowley and Pete Paguaga as they look back on the Week 6 that was, including the two big Saturday FCIAC games, Rockville and Notre Dame-Fairfield's mission statement victories, Masuk freshman Aaaron Champagne popping the cork on Barlow. This week's special guest star is ninth-year Fitch coach MIKE ELLIS, whose team rallied to beat NFA on Saturday to set up a big ECC Division I showdown at perennial contender Killingly. Truth be told, Ellis hesitated before joining the podcast this week after realizing that all of this season's previous guests lost the same week they appeared on pod. Is there a Meat Grinder Podcast Curse? If there is, Ellis says he's here to break it. We've only just begun. The podcast's second half is our annual Midseason report, beginning with the first good look at the 2023 CIAC postseason picture in all six (bleh) playoff divisions. And, finally, Pete and SPB will conduct a midseason football snake draft, where they'll each select their top players and units from the season's first half. So join us, won't you?

Join us as Claudette and Kim engage in another lit talk. In this episode, they speak with Officer Joseph McCusker, School Resource Officer for the town of Killingly. 

In today's podcast episode, Katie Williams and I delve into the complex questions surrounding motherhood, marriage, and society's fixation on a certain type of murder victim that she explores in My Murder.  We discuss the romanticization of white female victims, serial killers and guilt, and the integration of video games and virtual reality into this story. As a bonus, Katie also gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming horror comedy and shares her books recommendations. This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights Katie shares a spoiler-free summary of My Murder. How the narrator of My Murder (Lou) subverts the public's fascination with the murder of white women. Katie's take on whether she'd want to come back as a clone after her death. The romanticization of this type of death and victim. Lou's ambivalence about her life before her death and the complex way she examines this after returning as a clone. Katie's research on motherhood and her process that shaped her nuanced approach. The integration of video games and virtual reality into her novel. Pulling together the experience of guilt and serial killers. How Katie crafted her surprising, but earned, ending. Riding the line between writing by the seat of her pants (pantser) and planning everything out ahead of time (planner). A little bit about Katie's next book — a horror comedy!

In 1897, a Mount Holyoke College junior named Bertha Mellish disappears from campus overnight, leaving no word for her family. It's a time when female college students are still considered “queer” (in the old sense of peculiar as well as the modern understanding of the word), although the college administrators insist that their primary purpose is to produce excellent wives and mothers. But even this community of oddities considers Bertha strange, by which the other girls mean that she pays too little attention to parties and boys, too much to her schoolwork and social causes. Bertha's only true friend is Agnes Sullivan, a young woman from a poor Boston family who has been forced to conceal her Catholic upbringing to gain admission to the college. Agnes, a would-be doctor (an even greater anomaly in late 19th-century culture than a woman with a college education, although not inconceivable), grieves Bertha's absence but insists she has no idea where Bertha might be. Dragging the rivers and lakes turns up nothing, supposed sightings of the missing girl lead nowhere, and the police would be willing to write the case off as closed if only her relatives and the family doctor would let it go. Almost from the beginning, it's clear that Agnes knows far more than she lets on, but finding out what really happened to Bertha and why is a long, winding trail of suspense. Through the overlapping stories of Agnes, Bertha's sister Florence, Dr. Henry Hammond, and the inspector whom Hammond hires to find the missing girl, Katharine Beutner keeps us on the edge of our seats as she unravels their tangle of secrets and lies. Perhaps the most intriguing element is knowing that however fictional the plot and many of the characters, the story derives from the real-life disappearance of a Mount Holyoke student in 1897, the mystery of which has never been solved. Katharine Beutner, the author of fiction and nonfiction, teaches English at the College of Wooster in Ohio. Killingly (Soho Press, 2023) is her second novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and three other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Storyteller, appeared in January 2023.

Welcome to the annual Midseason report, in which Pete and Sean break down their three surprising teams and three disappointing teams to date. Next, they offer up three teams and three players to watch in the season's second half.

Welcome back to another edition of The Meat Grinder, your weekly inside look at high school football in Connecticut with GameTimeCT's Pete Paguaga and Sean Patrick Bowley. It was the Weekend of the Living Dead, in which a bunch of teams across the state got an early Halloween scare. Pete and SPB talk all about the great NVL showcase game won by Holy Cross rallying past Naugatuck on Thursday, plus East Hartford and Newington scares vs. No. 1 Southington and No. 3 Maloney, respectively. SPB also breaks down his trip to Granby Memorial for Cromwell/Portland's 14-7 victory and, his hectic Prep school Saturday, capped by the insane Avon Old Farms comeback that fell one agonizing point short against Choate in Saturday's NEPSAC showdown. Joining us for a chat this week is Killingly's 18-year head coach Chad Neal, who enjoyed a nice weekend off, but now gets back to business as he and his players get ready for a showdown with unbeaten Windham on Friday night. Coach Neal discusses this year's No. 4-ranked squad, and what it took to get his program playing at a championship level after a good 10-year struggle.

Welcome back to another thrilling episode of The Meat Grinder, a weekly look at high school football in Connecticut with GameTimeCT.com's Pete Paguaga and Sean Patrick Bowley.

We discuss the weekend's other big CCC victory, previous guest star Mike Drury and Southington rallying back from 21-0 to stun No. 1 Greenwich, 29-28, in a game that propelled the Blue Knights to No. 1 for the first time since 2015. But was it really that great of a night for a league that went 11-20 overall and saw two of its other big dogs -- Bloomfield and Windsor -- each let a two-touchdown lead slip away vs. Killingly and Shelton. We discuss these things and so much more, including St. Joseph escaping Masuk's late comeback and the latest top 10 polls. So join us, won't you?

With our weekly guest spot ruined by a dreaded glitch, Pete and Sean detail their week criss-crossing the state to Windsor, Naugatuck, Plainville, Stafford and into the quiet corner at Woodstock Academy. Of course, we discuss the most pressing issue of the times: The state playoff picture. Sean's just about got the formula figured out, but with so many games still to be played this week the best we can do is to give an overview before Thanksgiving Week. And what better place to start than to recap the carnage wrought by Cam Edwards and Norwalk at Fujitani Field. Edward scored five-touchdowns in a virtuoso performance to knock off playoff hopeful Wilton, 41-21, and put him on the short list of state player of the year (if he wasn't already.) Not wasting any time, Jeff Jacobs takes first crack at picking his top players of the year in this week's Jake's Takes segment. Though we lost the guest, there's plenty to whet your football palate in this week's pod. Unfortunately, this was recorded before the CIAC approved of a six-division playoff format for next year. You can be sure we'll have plenty to say about it next week. So join us, won't you?

Our guest today is an American Star Finalist in the category of Agricultural Placement, and there is an incredible story that comes along with this nomination. Caleb Peckham has grown up on his family's small dairy farm in eastern Connecticut.  In the latter half of the 2010s, low milk prices were harming dairies all over the United States, but smaller dairies in Connecticut seemed to be getting hit extra hard because they were so much more sensitive to the margins they were operating on.  As a response to these prices, Caleb's parents knew that something had to be done so that their family farm could survive.  The decision to start direct marketing products through a farm store they called Farm To Table Market in 2018.

Hundreds of Long Island residents joined nationwide rallies in support of abortion access. Connecticut business owners struggle to find new employees, Long Island democrats endorse Governor Hochul for next year's gubernatorial election, and the opposition to Killingly power plant continues.

In the wake of resistance to Black Lives Matter protests against racial injustice in cities like Portland, Oregon; Kenosha, Wisconsin; and others, we decided to take a look at race relations in the small towns and suburbs of Connecticut. What we found was disturbing. In some ways, the show feels inadequate. I wish we could have included more of the many people who have experienced racist behavior in our small towns of Connecticut. We won't get to talk to a woman from Farmington who received a threatening note at her home for hanging a Black Lives Matter banner, a student from Killingly who experienced racial bullying, a young BLM organizer in Durham, or a woman angry that Confederate flags are still sold at the Durham fair. I know about these. Most incidents never make the news. This hour, what’s it like to be black and living in a small town or suburb in Connecticut? How do we begin to change the structures that keep racism alive? GUESTS: Gary Greenberg is a psychotherapist, the author of The Book of Woe: The DSM and the Unmasking of Psychiatry, and the first selectman of Scotland, Connecticut Drew John Ladd is a blogger, activist, and the author of Wolfsong, Beloved Leah Ralls is the president of the Windham/Willimantic NAACP and a social worker for Connecticut’s Division of Public Defender Services Al Robinson is a blogger, activist, and the publisher of My Left Nutmeg Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

This goes back to a very young age and having aquariums in the house.  Cody Ogazalek knew that he wanted to work with fish, and when it came time for high school he started looking around at where he could attend. Ultimately, Cody found Killingly High School and toured the school.  In the FFA Department Cody found very large tanks for their aquaculture program, and he was instantly "hooked"!  He joined the FFA and has not looked back. During his time in high school Cody was recommended for a job at the Quinebaug Valley State Fish Hatchery, which is where all the trout for the State of Connecticut are hatched.  He began working there, and like a fish to the water he has learned more and more and gained more and more responsibility. Cody ended up doing a placement SAE, working at the hatchery, and it led him to become a state proficiency winner as a well as a national proficiency finalist in wildlife production and management.  Today, Cody is a student at Quinebaug Community College studying fisheries and aquaculture.  He has definitely found his passion, and is well on his way to being an expert in his field.

REASONS TO DONATE TO FFA: Only 2% of Americans grow and raise most of the food and livestock consumed by the other 98% as well as the rest of the world.  FFA is providing the needed education, training and resources to Americans that will carry that torch forward and insure that America continues to have inexpensive, quality food. Rural Communities will rely on entrepreneurship in the future for population growth and job creation.  The FFA is a major catalyst to that entrepreneurial growth. Farmers, ranchers and those working in agriculture give the rest of America incredible amounts of freedom because the search for food is as simple as going to the grocery store: “The future of American agriculture depends on the involvement and investment in America’s youth, In order to prepare for the population of tomorrow, we need to encourage America’s youth today, and show that careers in agriculture are profitable, rewarding, and vital.”. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue Where Off-Farm Income And Matt Brechwald Can Be Heard:   Member Of The National Association Of Farm Broadcasters

A New England town has decided to reinstate a school mascot critics say is racist. This week on NEXT, the school board in Killingly, Conn., ditched the old “Redmen” mascot — then brought it back in what may be the first reversal of its kind. We also look at the impact of college football on the rise of two Massachusetts colleges. Plus, we talk to a mother about raising an adult son with severe autism.

Literacy. It's something many of us take for granted. The ability to read health forms, headlines, or the latest bestsellers. Yet, across the U.S., there are millions of adults who have difficulty reading. This hour, we find out why. We talk with literacy experts and advocates, and we also hear from you. Later in the hour, we hear about controversy in Killingly, Connecticut over a school mascot that Native Americans groups in Connecticut say is offensive. Connecticut Public’s Frankie Graziano will join us for more.Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
