A private eye takes a dead girl's case for a father who can't afford him, and comes home with a box of gardenias that have been cut for a month and still smell fresh.EPISODE PAGE (includes list of sources): https://weirddarkness.com/noir-gardeniasonadeadlaneTRANSCRIPT: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/55nmcphxTHE REAL CASE BEHIND THIS STORY: The story in this episode is a fictionalized dramatization. Invented for it are the detective, his office, the gravedigger, the specific conversations, and the telephone call, and every name of a person or a place has been changed. The case underneath it is real.On the night of Thursday, June 24th, 1948, seventeen-year-old Mary Jane Reed, a switchboard operator, went on a first date with Stanley Skridla, a twenty-eight-year-old Navy veteran and telephone lineman from Rockford. They drank in taverns in Oregon, Illinois, a town on the Rock River in Ogle County, and the last place anyone could name was the Stenhouse, out on Route 2 at the south edge of town. They left around eleven-thirty. Skridla was found the next morning in the ditch along County Farm Road, shot with a .32. Mary Jane was found five days later along Silica Road, now called Devil's Backbone Road, shot once through the head, her slacks off her and her mother's wedding ring still on her hand. Roughly fifty people were questioned within a week. Nobody was ever charged, and the case was off the front pages by autumn.The casings, the photographs and the investigation reports all disappeared in the decades that followed. On November 15th, 1999 – Mary Jane's birthday – an untraceable floral arrangement addressed to her arrived at the old Stenhouse, by then the Road House, on a day the bar was closed. The owner, Mike Arians, had just been elected mayor, and the case has occupied him ever since. Her brother Warren Reed had her exhumed on August 23rd, 2005. Inside the burial vault, beside the casket, investigators found a dress and slip wrapped in newspapers dated June 25th, 1948 – four days before anyone found her. In 2007, forensic anthropologist Linda Klepinger examined the remains released to the family and reported that the skull and one vertebra had come from a different person. The DNA test that would settle it has never been run. Skridla was exhumed in 2015 on Arians's theory that Mary Jane's skull had been hidden in his coffin; it held one man and nothing else, though two .32 slugs came out of the ground with him and neither matched the gun Arians submitted.Warren Reed died on December 23rd, 2023, at eighty-one, without ever learning whose skull was in his sister's grave. The homicides remain open and unsolved.The full account – the fifty interviews, the suitor in La Crosse, the missing wallet the record can't agree on, the six years of court fights, the $25,000 reward for a skull nobody ever produced, and the haunting at the roadhouse – is documented in detail here:Mary Jane Reed's Illinois Grave Held Someone Else's Skull.WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

Coach Bill takes over the questions and Steve sits in the guest chair for the first time, fresh off a state finals run and the first fall in nearly four decades with no season to plan. They talk about what it felt like the moment it ended, the bus ride from La Crosse that turned a losing program around, and the price his family paid along the way. Stay to the end for a 2000th episode offer that only lives here in the show notes. IN THIS EPISODE 01:17 A milestone inside a milestone. First fall in 37 years with no season and no lesson plans. 02:13 How Coach Unplugged started. A YouTube idea with a friend, back when podcasting was actually hard. 04:33 "I felt full." The feeling after the final game, and why you want to leave the amusement park while you still want to ride. 06:35 The storybook ending. Up two at halftime on the eighth ranked team in the country, 27 and 3, and why a great taste makes walking away both easier and harder. 08:13 What retirement actually looks like.

Three state championships, five runner up finishes, eleven state appearances, fourteen straight conference titles, twenty six consecutive winning seasons, and why none of it sounds real to him. 17:08 Micro goals. Don't get fired. Then have a winning season. Then beat the perennial power. Then contend. Then win it. 18:40 Out scouting everybody. Sending his mom to a game with a camera, VCRs in the basement until 2 a.m., and why that edge is gone now. 19:43 What does coaching owe the kids who never play in college?

The young ones who know they don't know, and the veterans still hunting for an edge. It's the middle group that stalls out. 23:35 The price. What the wins cost his wife, his parents, and his mother in law, and why both of his kids will tell you he never missed anything. 26:15 Rapid fire for the first year coach.

Stop drilling for the sake of drilling. 28:37 How do you know you were successful?

For the first time in nearly half a century, a pair of endangered piping plovers nested this summer on Wisconsin Point in Superior.

We got the guy to blame for all the chaos in the Wisconsin primary election in studio to defend why he chose not to run for governor. Attorney General Josh Kaul played along with the bit that his decision not to run caused multiple people to drop out of the Democratic primary, before David Crowley got back in and eked out a win over Francesca Hong. Kaul was also asked how many times he’s sued Donald Trump and, while his answer was alarming, the AG got into some of those lawsuit “wins,” (that hit home over PFAS and homelessness) along with explaining another high-profile fight over Elon Musk’s $1 million voter giveaways — and why La Crosse County District Attorney Tim Gruenke ended up taking the lead as special prosecutor on the case. Key Topics: Suing Trump & Local Impact: How federal lawsuit victories over funding freezes safeguard local projects, including housing dollars tied to La Crosse's Pathways Home initiative. The Elon Musk Lottery Case: Why the legal challenge over Musk's $1 million voter giveaways landed on the desk of La Crosse County DA Tim Gruenke as special prosecutor. PFAS & Industrial Contamination: Holding polluters like Tyco and 3M accountable in places like Marinette, and how local suits connect to the widespread cleanup on French Island. CDL Privacy & Tech Guardrails: State pushback against federal attempts to access truck driver data, local concerns over Flock license plate cameras, and the push for statewide data center standards. Following His Mom's Footsteps: Reflecting on the actual day-to-day scope of the Wisconsin DOJ and serving in the same AG role his mother held in the early 2000s.

They're two of La Crosse's best-ever basketballers but — for being Division I athletes headed overseas for Year 2 of the pros — we find out one of them is utterly terrible at bar-league sand volleyball. Jordan Davis and Lexi Donarski stopped by the studio before heading back to Europe. We hit on everything from how bad Jordan and his twin brother Johnny are on the sand to how many free tacos they scored after Johnny’s famous Taco Bell commercial — plus Lexi’s history of locking down WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark going back to high school. Donarski, a five-year starter at Iowa State and North Carolina, is headed to play for Cadí La Seu in Northern Spain (though she can’t quite pronounce the city name yet). Meanwhile, Jordan — who of course played for the Wisconsin Badgers before heading to Illinois State — is weighing his options after spending last year in Belgrade, Serbia. We also dive into their chaotic experiences with the transfer portal, how they missed out on big NIL money by just a year, and what it was like playing alongside Johnny as he nearly won player of the year, to getting drafted 10th overall in the NBA draft. In this episode: Life Across the Pond: Lexi prepares for Spain after a year in Budapest, while Jordan reflects on playing in Belgrade, Serbia — navigating solo roster spots, language barriers, and long bus rides across Europe. The High School Heartbreak & College Grind: Reliving the abruptly canceled 2020 state tournament runs because of COVID to everything college hoops — from best memories to the madness of surviving the transfer portal. Family Ties & Draft Day: Jordan talks of playing with his brother Johnny during an NCAA Player of the Year run and getting drafted No. 10, to his brother's next chapter in Turkey. Plus how Jordan almost played college football instead. Guarding Caitlin Clark: Lexi breaks down her matchup history facing WNBA phenom Caitlin Clark and her defensive mindset head-to-head against elite scorers. Sand Volleyball "Legends": Both stars spent their summer playing rec sand volleyball at a local bar in La Crosse — and why Lexi carries the Davis bros on the team.

Ahead of Friday night's season openers, both of La Crosse's high school football coaches stopped in studio to talk about why kids don't watch games anymore, what it’s like preparing for the iconic "Ark" rivalry game between them and the evolution of the game — and the athletes. Central’s Michael Arnold and Logan’s Casey Knoble step away from the playbooks for a wide-ranging, lighthearted chat about the shifting culture of high school sports. Before diving into the gridiron, we discuss how the high school experience has evolved — from cell phone bans in school to playbooks going from VHS tapes to iPads. The coaches also break down the veteran vs. rookie dynamic between Knoble (entering his 16th season) and Arnold (entering his 1st), and how today's hyper-trained athletes compare to past generations. Topic rundown: Teaching & Tech Culture: How cell phone bans impact school life, managing student iPads, and keeping kids focused away from screens. 16 Seasons vs. Season 1: Casey Knoble’s veteran perspective leading Logan versus Michael Arnold stepping into his first year as Central's head coach. The Evolution of the Game: The shift from crowding around a TV to watch a VHS tape in the '90s to breaking down film on individual phones and iPads. Toughness & Training: Why traditional two-a-day practices disappeared, how athlete conditioning has changed, and why kids don't watch games like they used to. Modern Roster Realities: Managing 70+ player rosters, handling the physical toll on two-way starters, and navigating post-COVID athlete turnout. The Ark of Victory: The deep tradition, school culture, and lasting memories surrounding La Crosse's iconic carved wooden rivalry trophy. Coaching Beyond the Field: Drawing inspiration from Ted Lasso on connecting with players, building lasting relationships, and preparing kids for life after high school.

Beyond the big policy votes, Tryggestad shares a personal connection to the old Shelby ball fields on 33rd Street as the county considers a new lease agreement. Plus, a lighthearted look at why steady, "boring" county government is usually a sign that local operations are actually working. Key Topics: $1.3 Million Jail Redesign: Why the county is drawing $1.3M from current budget savings for redesign blueprints—a project expected to cost around $10 million total—to address severe mental health challenges, safely separate inmate populations, and protect jailers. 111-Acre West Salem Farmland Review: Where things stand with 11 concept proposals (RFIs) submitted to potentially build housing on county-owned farmland, and how county leadership is partnering with the Village of West Salem on next steps. Personal Connections at Hillview Ball Fields: Tryggestad reflects on her adult kids playing Shelby youth baseball on 33rd Street as the county considers transferring the field lease to the School District of La Crosse for Central High School athletics. Sunsetting SMRT Bus Funding: The practical factors behind ending La Crosse County's financial support for Scenic Mississippi Regional Transit by December 31 due to low ridership metrics and dropped contributions from neighboring counties. $22.3M ARPA Impact Report: A recap of how federal pandemic relief funds were deployed—including $12M toward the Hillview redesign, transitional housing units, and regional childcare grants. Why "Boring" Government Works: Rick and Tina open with a lighthearted look at why steady, reliable county operations rarely generate chaotic headlines—and why consistency is the ultimate goal.

Fresh off a wild, razor-thin Democratic primary for governor, Wisconsin State Assembly Rep. Jill Billings (D-La Crosse) stopped in studio to unpack what just went down — and where state politics go from here.

The "Thanksgiving" Breakthrough: How a 2020 tweet and a viral CNN interview with Caitlin Collins became the turning point that reached casual voters.

Send us Fan MailWe made it to episode 300! Thanks for everyone who has been along for the ride. I enjoy talking shop with goalies so much I'd continue to do this even if we had 0 listeners but the fact that some of you love this conversations (and reach out to tell me so) is simply amazing! Here's the episode this week - Ohio State goalie Jack Allen has taken about as unusual a path to D1 lacrosse as it gets — born in Syracuse, developed in Ohio, and then at age 10, moved to England, where men's lacrosse is a niche, blue-collar sport and his best option for reps was playing in a men's league with guys from the local Air Force bases.In this episode, Jack talks about growing up drawn to the goalie position in every sport he played, what he actually looks for when studying goalies on film, and how he digs out of a slump with targeted reps. He opens up about the mental side — the sports psychology resources at Ohio State, the box-breathing reset he uses in the cage, and the French word he picked up on a trip that helps him flush a bad goal.We also cover his recruiting story (the World Championships as his tape, and a lot of unanswered emails), what it means to play "like a rubber band, not a slinky" at 5'9", why up-the-hash shots were his toughest college adjustment, what he's learned practicing next to Casey "Big Tasty" Yamron, and coming off the bench cold against Rutgers.Plus a full gear breakdown — STX Eclipse 3, memory mesh, RZR 2 gloves, and the backwards top string that changed his release.Jack's closing message: lacrosse is the medicine game. Have fun with it, and give back to it.Support the show
