Tony and Al welcome Joey to the podcast to discuss how they are going to finally find Hansen's secret cabin. When these 3 get together you need to get ready to laugh.A summary of the season and where they are at today.The guys go over man of the clues and information that they will use to find the cabin.Tony sums up why they believe now is the time to find the cabin:We have Manfried's notes, We the map of the coastline where the cabin is, pictures of the cabin, We have satellite technology of the areas, We have the route Hansen took, We have what we can expect to find in the cabinWe now have the connections to get Manfried what he needs (and I quote) “if I had the proper tools I will get them so close to the cabin that they can't help but find it.”We need your help so we started a Go Fund Me Page which will have a link posted on our web page, our socials and email too. From this link you will be directed to our page where you can Donate and Share the link. Do whatever you can and we promise we'll do the rest.Please believe us that when we find this cabin and send Megan Emerick home to her family, the people that are involved will feel a sense of Euphoria like they have never experienced in their lifetime.
Tony and Al have a fascinating discussion with Bill Satterberg. Bill was Manfred's attorney back when Joe Vogler was killed. Bill talked with Manfried before our call and received permission from him to talk about the case.We learn exactly how the killing of Joe Vogler took place and that Bill felt Manfried had an excellent self defense case.You will hear the real story of how Joe Voglers body was found. No one has ever heard this story including Bill Satterberg. During there last call West revealed for the first time what really transpired and gave Bill permission to share it with Tony and Murder Phone. Of course we discuss the Hansen case, the cabin, and how Bill can help in the search for Megan Emerick. Bill has lived in Alaska for most of his life and has practiced law there for over 40 years. He knows the state and will be an incredible help in finding the cabin and bringing Megan Emerick home.
Tony and Manfried are now in present day so everything they do from now on is about finding the cabin and of course bringing Megan Emerick home. Tony had to make sure that Manfried was still on board so he asks him if he still wants to try to find the cabin.He shares their most recent conversation, and here is just a little of what we learn:Manfried wants to do it, but you can tell he's fed up.The only one he trusts to be involved is Tony.Hansen built the cabin with his wife and 2 small children in 1970.He only had his boat in Seward back then . No plane. He took 2 girls there by boat. One named Megan in 1973 and he thinks maybe Mary 1975. Hansen said one went in The Bay and one was buried.Tony shares another conversation with Megan Emerick's nephew Shayne that will blow your mind. Shayne talks about things that no one has ever heard including his father.
In 2013 for some unknown reason the plug was pulled on the investigation to find the cabin where Megan Emerick was buried.Tony and Manfried never gave up and decided they would use all the information that they had compiled and move ahead on their own.Tony was constantly trying other ways to find Hansen's cabin. This included many attempts through Hollywood connections that always led to dead ends. In 2017 Tony was receiving puzzling emails from Manfried regarding a Production company and Missing and Exploited Children looking to talk with Manfried again about finding the cabin. Manfried didn't trust anyone after what happened so he made the decision he would only talk with Tony about this. He wanted the cabin found but wanted to do it right. There are several present day conversations that are very interesting and further confirm the fact that Manfried is a changed manShayne Emerick who is Megan Emerick's nephew talks with Tony about what he heard about Megan when he was growing up, and how her disappearance affected the whole family.
Tony discusses questions he has received about living life with a TBI. Manfried is so happy to be back in Alaska. Listen to a conversation he has just after he gets back. Manfried really wants to find Megan Emerick, but he's beginning to think something is up. Everything went silent and none of us know why. Manfried once again reiterates that he can pinpoint the location of the cabin if he can just get a little help.Manfried sends some more exciting information about the cabin hoping it will peak Agent Gary's interest. In August 2013 after reaching out several times Tony receives a call from Agent Gary. He informs Tony that although the information was great and it all checked out they were ordered to stop the investigation. Unfortunately no details were supplied. Tony, Al and Manfried realize they are now On Their Own and they agree to continue to work on finding the cabin themselves.
The newspaper article is once again causing big problems for Manfried. Manfried tells Tony that he wants to meet with the lady from Seward, Shiela Squires and Agent Gary who didn't know about the article. He wanted nothing to do with the agent that he felt leaked the article that truly put him in danger. At this time they are seriously looking for the cabin, but Agent Gary is still going to Gage and trying to get information from other people. Manfried doesn't understand this because only two people know where the cabin is, him and Hansen. Manfried is told he will be moved for his safety, but it doesn't happen and once again he is put in the hole and loses everything. The movie The Frozen ground was announced and it seemed to really affect the investigation. Manfried was still willing to do his part and actually said in a letter, “if he was given the proper tools he could put them within one mile of the infamous cabin,” but he had lost all faith in Agent Gary.
The ball is rolling and The National center for Missing and Exploited Children have joined the search for the Cabin where Megan Emerick is buried.Megan was last seen in Seward, Alaska on July 7, 1973. Investigators believe the serial killer Robert Hansen may have been involved in Megan's disappearance, but he denied any involvement in her case. Hansen did admit to Manfried that he brought Megan Emerick out to the Cabin, killed her and buried her there. Hansen drew a sketch of the cabin in his cell and crumpled it up and threw it away. Manfried retrieved it and sent the original to Tony. Tony made a copy and shared it with The Center for Missing and Exploited Children.Manfried sent Tony his personal Journal that covers from May 2008 to March 9th 2009. The daily entries really give you a true perspective of what it's like being in prison.
Tony has suffered with severe depression for the past 4 weeks, so he felt it was time for some light hearted comedy. Today he will share his fictional tale about a really bad day. It's titled “Fuck My Life”Tony's favorite pastime is writing and over the years his favorite topic was comedy. He often would send the criminals copies of his writings.Manfried especially loved Tony's stories. Tony shared Fuck My Life with him back in September of 2008. You will hear a short conversation clip with Manfred's reaction to the story. Tony talks about the next episode that will be posted on Monday March 27th. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children will be joining the hunt for “The Cabin”.
The odyssey to find "The Cabin" continues. The search becomes very real when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children gets involved. Manfried finally gets out of the hole and you'll hear a conversation between Tony and him describing how he handled the Hansen situation. West gets sent to an Arizona prison on Con Air and he continues to ask Tony for help on the Cabin and finding Megan Emerick and Mary Thill. Tony is busy trying to keep up with writing to the other 20 to 30 killers he's corresponding with so his time is limited. Manfried finally peaks Tony's interest and after not having success with the FBI, Tony calls the Seward Alaska police and after 40 years gets the case reopened. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children get involved and they set up to visit Tony at his home.You will hear the very first call between Manfried and Tony back in June of 2007 as Manfried thanks Tony for his help and awaits the agents visit.
Tony reveals a letter that Manfred's attorney sent to the Parole Board in 2022 although Manfried's hearing isn't until 2025. This is not a normal occurrence and you can see that Mr. Satterberg clearly believes that Manfried acted in self defense, and that he has reformed himself and deserves parole. Tony hears about the Cabin for the first time and the fact that Hansen told him where it is. Tony and Al were heading to Alaska for a visit with Manfried when all hell breaks loose. Somehow Hansen finds out that Manfried has been talking to the F.B.I. about him, and the prison puts Manfried in The Hole for his own protection. The visit is cancelled and Manfried asks Tony for more help.
Tony and Al prepare to go to Alaska to visit Manfried and meet Robert Hansen at the Alaskan Native Dinner.However Tony had no way of knowing that things were happening that would change the course of his relationship with West.During the next several months you will see a dramatic change in the events surrounding Manfried and Hansen!Hansen went from being Bob, to being referred to as The Worm, and for good reason. Tony is going to take you through all of the stories, twists and turns and strange events that happened during his search for Megan Emerick and The Cabin where she's buried.Manfried asked for Tony's help but at this time it was just looking things up on the computer.Tony had no idea how deep this would go!
In this episode we're going all the way back to when Manfried West met his “Cellmate from Hell” Robert Hansen for the very first time. We will hear directly from Manfried West what it was like sharing a cell with the Butcher Baker. Hansen covered up who he was and acted so nice, you would never know how bad he is because he wears the Serial Killer Mask even in prison.Manfried had to read a book about Hansen's crimes before he realized what he did. Hansen didn't talk much about killing girls, but he did talk about the cabin that has never been found, where he took Megan Emerick and Mary Thill You will hear some of the disgusting stories of the sick idiosyncrasies of a true psychopath.Hansen and Manfried were both loners, they endured similar childhoods and they both hated their fathers. The phone conversations will literally bring you into the cell with the worst serial killer in Alaskan history.
Manfried walked through life with nothing but Hatred and Anger controlling his actions. He learned and lived the criminal life style at an early age. Manfrieds mom talks about his terrible upbringing and the way he was treated by his father. The frequent beatings and constant mental abuse. His mother admits how she failed him. Manfried tells how he shot his friend Joe Volger and how he should have died when a cabin he was in burned and collapsed on him. In prison now Manfried West was at the very bottom. He hated everyone including himself and decides to commit suicide.You will hear Manfried tell the whole story in his own words, including a most unusual conclusion.
Manfred Forest West was born in 1956 in Jayville New York. He is in prison for murder 2 and other charges. Manfried grew up angry and mad at life in the backwoods of the mountains in upstate New York. They lived 4 miles from the nearest neighbors, the deep wilderness became his playground. Creeks, lakes, and old abandoned trail roads, caves and trees. His toys were sticks, old car parts, deer and bear skulls. Manfred's Father was a drunk, lived off the land hunting and trapping year-round. The family lived near a large swamp with the sounds of bullfrogs bellyaching all night, until his dad came home drunk. Then it was his turn to get beat.Manfried remembers the early morning dawn washing over the swamp, hearing the birds sing and wishing that his father was dead. He ran away at the age of 15, off to town, jail, prison. Manfried seemed to meet all the wrong people, learn all the wrong things, and he just let himself fall through the cracks of life.This story however is not how he became a criminal, but how he changed himself into the man he is today.They say people can't change, but Manfried West has proved them all wrong. This is his amazing story.
Megan Emerick went missing in 1973 from Anchorage, Alaska and is still listed as a missing person. She was believed to be a victim of serial killer Robert Hansen, and the case still remains open.This is a long and involved story that covers a lot of years of investigation. Tony and his dad Al will be covering every aspect of this investigation, from its beginnings in 2008 to where we currently are today. Remember what we've always said, the wheels of justice move slowly Tony will share Manfred's inspirational story of how he beat all the odds and has totally rehabilitated himself while in prison. He is a changed person and Tony and Manfried have developed a close friendship over the last 15 years. Manfried West spent 7 long years in a cell with Robert Hansen, Alaska's worst known serial killer, and is willing to share the stories and information he learned during his time with Hansen.With the help of Manfried West, Tony will finish the quest he started with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children over 14 years ago. The information that West supplies will hopefully lead to discovering Hansen's secret cabin, and “Finding Megan Emerick.”
There's an escalating umpire problem, and the division races start to become more clear. One thing we do know: if you call a rat a racoon Artie's throwing haymakers.

Sometimes when an Aussie and a Canadian who has a hardcore love for Aussies get together, magic happens. That's what happened when Caitlin Major immigrated from Australia with her boyfriend for better comic-making opportunity in Canada and met Canadian Kelly Bastow at a Drink & Draw. Kelly is an artist on the rise, having done variant covers for titles like Lumberjanes and Adventure Time and having been nominated twice for an Ignatz Award (honouring small press comic creators) including for her graphic memoir Year Long Summer. Caitlin is no slouch either, already having two published graphic novels under her belt, including Space Pyrates with partner Matthew Hoddy and Seeds of Svalbard with Alisha Jade. But the alchemy of these ladies coming together is something special. Written by Caitlin with Kelly on art, Manfried the Man (Penguin Random House Canada, Quirk Books) takes place in an alternate universe where cats who behave like humans own men who behave like cats.Amidst the talk of the near-parallel genesis of this latest project and Kelly and Caitlin's friendship, Aaron overshares his his love for his own cat and the lengths certain relatives of his will go to have one. We also learn about the comic scene in Australia and stay tuned until the end for an exclusive Caitlin Major- themed freestyle featuring MC Lil' Spitta! This podcast is sponsored by Hairy Tarantula.
