"December 23, 1981. Burke County, North Carolina. After leaving an office Christmas party, 19-year old Rhonda Hinson begins her drive home, but her car is soon discovered in a ditch on Mineral Springs Mountain Road about a half-mile from her residence. Rhonda's body is lying outside the vehicle and it turns out she was fatally shot by someone who fired a bullet which passed through the car's trunk and the driver's seat before it penetrated her heart. An eyewitness reports having seen an unidentified man near the vehicle's driver's side door shortly before Rhonda's body was discovered, but he cannot be identified. Years later, new information surfaces to suggest that Rhonda's death may have been caused by someone from her personal life, but the crime is never solved. For our next series of episodes on “The Path Went Chilly”, Jules and Robin discuss the unsolved murder of Rhonda Hinson. For more information about the case, we highly recommend you check out Larry Griffin's extensive 89-part series of articles in The Wilkes Record:https://thewilkesrecord.com/the-killing-of-rhonda-hinson-part-89,-the-conclusion-p1824-149.htmWe originally covered Rhonda Hinson's murder way back on Episode#4 of “The Trail Went Cold”, but we have since learned a lot of new information about the crime which has compelled us to look at everything in a different light.

We have a special winter episode this week with two eerie winter crimes. Lauren takes us back to the winter of 1998 where a Missouri family disappears without a trace. There was no sign of Susan Brouk or her two children, and the Brouks didn't take their winter coats or snow boots and it was below freezing. After the family is discovered murdered about half a mile from their home, investigators began the search for who could commit such a heinous crime. Kenzie covers the unsolved case of Rhonda Hinson who was murdered coming home from a company Christmas party. Investigators seem to think it's a lost cause and will never be solved, but the family is still holding out hope 40 years later.

In this episode Larry Cary and Jess join me to talk about the alternate uses for antifreeze (spoiler: there aren't any) we all share surgical histories, and we give advice to the lovelorn on Reddit.  It's a real tear-jerker.  Just check it out!

We take the letter carrier who gives us our bills and Bed Bath and Beyond coupons for granted, but back in 1929, Larry Griffin, the postman for Stradbally, Ireland, got taken in a very different way. Join us for the tale of how some townies ruined the Christmas of a genteel (and drunk) civil servant!

In this episode, we talk about Larry Griffin who was executed in 1995. Griffin maintained his innocence until he was executed. About 10 years after he was put to death, his case was reviewed again, and investigators now believe he could have been innocent.

On June 26, 1980, a drive-by shooting near the intersection of Sarah Avenue and Olive Street in St. Louis, Missouri, took the life of 19-year old Quinton Moss and wounded Wallace Conner. Moss had been a suspect in the January, 1980 murder of Dennis “Gant” Griffin, but had never been charged. Larry Griffin was linked by a police officer who saw him in the company of two other men getting into a car similar to the one described by witnesses to the shooting and a bystander at the scene who was able to identify Griffin as one of the shooters. Join Lisa O'Brien and Michel Carson on Tuesday, May 25, 2021, for Clear and Convincing, Episode 11, State of Missouri v. Larry Griffin. Griffin's 1995 execution was controversial due to his claim of his actual innocence. A 2005 investigation sponsored by the NAACP concluded that there were “doubts” about Griffin's guilt. A subsequent investigation by the St. Louis City Circuit Attorney's Office reached a different conclusion. We'll talk about the evidence against Griffin, the post-execution investigation that raised doubts about his guilt and the investigation conducted by the St. Louis Circuit Attorney.

Here's a special, festive episode of Shite Talk for this Christmas season, all about the disappearance of the Kilmacthomas postman, Larry Griffin. 

Christmas Day 1929. Stradbally, Ireland. After completing his holiday route, 49-year old postman Larry Griffin fails to return home and his bicycle is found on a road outside the village the following morning. Once a missing persons investigation is launched, rumours start circulating that Larry was killed after an incident at a local pub and a massive cover-up took place. Ten people are eventually charged for their alleged roles in Larry's death, but his body cannot be found and the key eyewitness changes his story, the charges against the ten defendants are withdrawn. Was Larry Griffin's disappearance the result of a vast conspiracy to conceal the truth about what happened? On this year's final holiday-themed episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we will explore the saga of “The Missing Postman of Stradbally”, one of the most convoluted unsolved mysteries in the history of Ireland. Special thanks to listener for Bailey Meeker for providing the opening narration on our episode.

On Christmas Day, 1929, postman Larry Griffen went to work in the small village of Stradbally, Co Waterford. As he called into homes with the post, he was thanked with tips and a few drinks. That night, Larry never made it home. His bike was found abandoned in the middle of the road. A conspiracy of silence kept the truth of what happened to Larry Griffin from his family, and still does to this day. ******** Thanks to our sponsors for today’s episode: Try the casual mobile puzzle game Best Fiends today!

The suspect wanted in connection with abandoning two empty rice cookers in the Fulton Street subway station and one in Chelsea was apprehended around 1am on August 17th. Larry Griffin of Bruno, West Virginia was seen in video being wheeled in a wheelchair out of a building in Longwood in the Bronx by paramedics with his head slumped to the side. Emergency responders had originally arrived at the location on reports of two people possibly overdosing, then identified Griffin from the subway security camera footage that had been circulated by police. Griffin had spoken to family members in West Virginia after the bomb scare incident and claimed he had found the rice cookers outside an Asian restaurant. Griffin's cousin described him as someone dealing with mental issues who had a tendency to pick up objects off the streets. The 26-year-old also has a criminal record in West Virginia and an active warrant was out for his arrest before the rice cooker incident. He is being held on a $200,000 bond and is facing three counts of placing a false bomb. His lawyers are reportedly in talks to arrange a plea deal and he will be back in court on September 6th. More than five years after Eric Garner's death, the NYPD announced on August 19th that the officer seen on eyewitness video putting Garner in a prohibited chokehold will be fired. Police Commissioner O'Neill announced that former officer Daniel Pantaleo would be fired and the Commissioner attributed the years-long delay to the U.S. Justice Department asking the NYPD to postpone the internal NYPD investigation. The U.S. Department of Justice began an investigation in 2014 into the actions of officer Daniel Pantaleo, and in 2019, the Department of Justice, now overseen by Trump-appointed Attorney General William Barr, announced that they would not pursue civil rights charges against Pantaleo, a decision they voluntarily chose to announce one day before the anniversary of Garner's death. Pantaleo's supervisor, Sergeant Kizzy Adonis, pleaded guilty to charges of failure to supervise and will lose 20 vacation days, with Commissioner O'Neill stating "nothing about her actions on that day either caused the use of the banned chokehold or delayed the arrival of medical attention for Mr. Garner". The city medical examiner's office concluded that the methods used to detain him during arrest, combined with his respiratory health, led to his death. A chokehold is a prohibited procedure for the NYPD to use, but video from the scene clearly showed officer Daniel Pantaleo with his arm around Eric's neck. The incident ignited protests across the city and country and Garner's dying words of "I can't breathe" became a rallying cry of the Black Lives Matter movement. In 2015, the city reached a settlement with the Garner family in which they received $5.9 million in response to their wrongful death claim. 15 years ago on August 26, 2004 — Protests begin surrounding the Republican National Convention scheduled to take place at Madison Square Garden Two women who were arrested in 2015 for planning terrorist bombings in the city pleaded guilty this week to charges of teaching and distributing information about the manufacture and use of an explosive, destructive device, and weapon of mass destruction. 28 years ago on August 28, 1991 — A drunken subway operator derails a '4' Train at Union Square just after midnight, killing five and injuring 121 This will be the final week if you've been meaning to take a selfie with the the marble lions at the main branch of the NYPL. The famous lion sculptures, named Patience and Fortitude, that have guarded the entrance to the library at 42nd and Fifth since 1911, will be taking a much-deserved trip to the spa starting September 2nd when their $250,000 restoration begins. Some significant cracks have formed due to water damage and the Tennessee pink marble has been dirtied by air pollution and weather conditions. The lions will be enclosed in plywood and lasers will be used to zap contaminants from the surface of the stone, while cracks will be evaluated and repaired via a variety of methods. If you'll be missing the lions during the weeks they're under repair, the NYPL's online shop even offers replica of Patience and Fortitude as bookends for $150.
