The murder of Maria Ridulph occurred in December 1957 when the 7-year-old girl was abducted while playing near her home in Sycamore, Illinois. Her remains were found five months later in a rural area, sparking one of the longest cold case investigations in U.S. history. Decades later, in 2012, Jack McCullough (AKA John Tessier), a former neighbor, was convicted of her murder based on new evidence, though his conviction was overturned in 2016 due to misinterpreted facts. The case remains a tragic unsolved mystery with enduring legal and investigative challenges. If you'd like to listen ad-free, go to patreon.com/crimehub.

Phil Stanford - White House Call Girl : The Real Watergate StoryJune 7Heidi Rikan was an ex-stripper who, during the Nixon years, was working for the mob in Washington, D.C. White House Call Girl tells how an escort service she ran led to the Watergate break-in, bringing down Tricky Dick Nixon himself. For 40 years the public have only heard the Woodward and Bernstein perspective on Watergate. Finally they can hear (and see) the other version. We've got the photos.

Adams was on the staircase of the Texas School Book Depository at the precise moment that Lee Harvey Oswald, according to the Warren Commission, was making his escape-yet she saw no one. Badgered by the Commission and fearing for her life, Adams vanished into obscurity. At long last, her story has been brought to light and forces us to reconsider one of the most controversial assassinations of the 20th century.Book0:00Change progress1:00:01Joe Exotic - The Whole TruthJune 5Joe Exotic speaks to The Opperman Report about Netflix, his legal woes, prison life and how, after all these issues, lies and challenges, he still has hope in his heart.This is different from the Netflix documentary; this is his side of the story in his words.Exclusive to the Opperman Report.InstagramTwitter3wwas hoping this is what you were eluding to on live the other day3wEd, you are the G.O.A.T for this.

Warren - THE LAST MAN STANDING: Is Jack Daniel McCulloughJune 4From the archives we bring you Alan R. Warren and a case which is a conundrum inside a riddle It was a shattering death bed confession by a heartbroken mother. But would it solve the oldest cold case murder case in American jurisprudence?In January 1994, Eileen Tessier told Jack McCullough's half-sister Janet Tessier that he, her son, kidnapped 7-year-old Maria Ridulph from their neighborhood in Sycamore, Illinois and killed her in December 1957. It was a case that tore the child's family apart, as well as dividing and terrifying the town as the days, then the months, and finally the years passed with no arrest.In 2008 the Illinois State police reopened the case against Jack after receiving an email from Janet Tessier about their mother's deathbed confession. After the Illinois State police interviewed Janet and learned that Jack had also been accused of raping their other sister, Jeanne Tessier, they reopened the case. But would reopening the case solve the question of who killed Maria Ridulph? And was McCullough the killer?In THE LAST MAN STANDING, true crime author Alan Warren writes in exacting detail about the kidnapping, murder and subsequent investigations—both in 1957 and 2008—that eventually led to the murder conviction of Jack McCullough. But the story doesn't stop there as it delves into the years McCullough spent in prison and the efforts to have his conviction overturned.Was McCullough the brutal killer of a little girl? Or was he the last man standing when the justice system decided he needed to pay for the crime?

The evidence supports their claim.Vassili Mironov, Joshua Auriemma and Roman Dubinschi were the young Palm Coast residents who jumped on Daniel Noble before he could use his assault rifle—an Uzi he was threatening to use against patrons. Mironov and Auriemma sustained stab wounds in the process. Noble, 38, has since been hauled off to a state psychiatric hospital, having been deemed incompetent to stand trial.Three days later, Mironov, Auriemma and Dubinschi were themselves arrested. Their arrests after a fight at Finn's bar in Flagler Beach on March 19 appear to have been the result of shoot-first, ask-questions-later policing based on the apparently false testimonies of that evening's assailants, who never faced prosecution. Not that the questions were ever asked.0:00Change progress51:01Thomas Maier - Mafia Spies: The Inside Story of the CIA, Gangsters, JFK, and CastroJune 3From the Bestselling Author and Television Producer of Masters of Sex, a True Story of Espionage and Mobsters, Based on the Never-Before-Released JFK Files, and Optioned by Warner Bros.Mafia Spies is the definitive account of America's most remarkable espionage plots ever—with CIA agents, mob hitmen, “kompromat” sex, presidential indiscretion, and James Bond-like killing devices together in a top-secret mystery full of surprise twists and deadly intrigue. In the early 1960s, two top gangsters, Johnny Roselli and Sam Giancana, were hired by the CIA to kill Cuba's Communist leader, Fidel Castro, only to wind up murdered themselves amidst Congressional hearings and a national debate about the JFK assassination.Mafia Spies revolves around the outlaw friendship of these two mob buddies and their fascinating world of CIA spies, fellow Mafioso in Chicago, Cuban exile commandos in Miami, beautiful Hollywood women, famous entertainers like Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack in Las Vegas, Castro's own spies in Havana and his double agents hidden in Florida, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI snooping, and the Kennedy administration's “Get Castro” obsession in Washington. Thomas Maier is among the first to take full advantage of the National Archives' 2017–18 release of the long-suppressed JFK files, many of which deal with the CIA's top secret anti-Castro operation in Florida and Cuba.With several new investigative findings, Mafia Spies is a spy exposé, murder mystery, and shocking true story that recounts America's first foray into the assassination business, a tale with profound impact for today's Trump era. Who killed Johnny and Sam—and why wasn't Castro assassinated despite the CIA's many clandestine efforts?Book0:00Change progress1:49:35Clive Doyle - A Journey to Waco: Autobiography of a Branch DavidianJune 2Nearly twenty years after they happened, the ATF and FBI assaults on the Branch Davidian residence near Waco, Texas remain the most deadly law enforcement action on American soil. The raid by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents on February 28, 1993, which resulted in the deaths of four ATF agents and six Branch Davidians, precipitated a 51-day siege conducted by the FBI. The FBI tank and gas assault on the residence at Mount Carmel Center on April 19 culminated in a fire that killed 53 adults and 23 children, with only nine survivors. In A Journey to Waco, survivor Clive Doyle not only takes readers inside the tragic fire and its aftermath, but he also tells the larger story of how and why he joined the Branch Davidians, how the Branch Davidian community developed, and the status of survivors. While the media and official reports painted one picture of the Branch Davidians and the two assaults, A Journey to Waco shares a much more personal account of the ATF raid, the siege, and the final assault that details events unreported by the media. A Journey to Waco presents what the Branch Davidians believed and introduces readers to the community's members, including David Koresh. A Journey to Waco is a personal account of one man's journey with the Branch Davidians, through the tragic fire, and beyond.Book2wThe children certainly aren't be abused now.

How are we all feeling post Thanksgiving? Stuffed? YES. Well we recorded this pre-Thanksgiving, so it was simply all that we could think about! But no fear, after we talk through what we are the CEOs of, we will get creepy with ya!Morgan starts us off by covering the Moberly-Jourdain Incident, aka two iconic, educated, female besties time slip so hard ON THEIR FIRST FRIEND DATE that they literally see a Historical Figure chillin' in the gardens... Many people debate what actually happened that day, but we know whatever it was- was real. Next, Taylar covers the well known and highly debated case of 7 year old Maria Ridulph, who was abducted from her street in Sycamore, IL and murdered in December of 1957. Oddly enough, Maria's case is the first kidnapping case we have ever covered that has been cold, solved, cold again, solved, and unsolved over the years.

On the evening of December 3rd, 1957, seven year old Maria Ridulph and her eight year old friend, Kathy Sigman, were playing in the new fallen snow on a street corner in the sleepy town of Sycamore, Illinois. A stranger approached the girls, introduced himself as “Johnny” and offered them piggyback rides. When Kathy Sigman ran home to get her mittens, she left Maria and Johnny behind on the street corner. Little did she know that she would be the last person to see Maria Ridulph alive.The FBI was called in and the search for Maria and her kidnapper caught the nation's attention. President Eisenhower and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover demanded daily reports from the field agents. Nearly six months later, Maria's remains were discovered in a thicket 100 miles away. The search for Maria's killer went on, but all leads were slowly exhausted and finally the case went cold.A series of events begun by a mother's deathbed confession led to Jack D. McCullough being convicted for the murder of Maria Ridulph 55 years after the crime, making it the oldest cold case in U.S. history ever to be successfully prosecuted. Follow along with the author as he investigates this historic event to discover if justice was truly served, or was another tragedy piled on top of the first, riding piggybackSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

On a cold snowy night in December of 1957, seven-year-old Maria and her best friend Kathy were playing their favorite game near their favorite spot. It was just another normal playdate until they met a young man named "Johnny". Poor Maria wouldn't be found until 4 months later.... It is said to be the oldest cold case to make it to trial, did law enforcement have the right guy, and did the judge set a murderer free? Or was it truly someone else....

Welcome to episode 74! Marina starts us off by telling us about the kidnapping and murder of Maria Ridulph in the 1950's.

Kathy Sigman and Maria Ridulph were best friends. The little girls played together constantly, and the evening of December 3, 1957, was no exception. But that evening, a young man approached them. He seemed friendly. He offered them piggyback rides and asked them about dolls. He told them his name was Johnny, and that he wasn't married. At one point, Kathy excused herself to get a pair of mittens. But when she came back outside, Maria was missing, and Johnny was nowhere to be found. Then Kristin tells us about a college student in Oklahoma, who woke up to a loud thump. The woman sat in bed for a while, listening for more strange sounds. When she didn't hear any, she got up to go to the bathroom. That's when she saw a man standing at the end of her hallway. She flipped on the lights, but the man vanished behind a corner, only to reemerge seconds later. The man sexually assaulted her, then left out the front door. Later, when the woman called police, they showed her two line-ups. Both line ups included an innocent man named Thomas Webb. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “The Wrong Man” by Jon Schuppe for NBC News The book “Rectify: A story of healing and redemption after wrongful conviction,” By Laura Bazelon “Wrongfully convicted man gets $175,000 for 13 years in prison,” by Jon Schuppe for NBC News “Rape suspect walks free after innocent man spends 14 years in prison,” by Dallas Franklin for kfor.com “Thomas Webb, III” entry on The National Registry of Exonerations In this episode, Brandi pulled from: "Taken: The Coldest Case Ever Solved” by Ann O'Neill, CNN “JUSTICE STORY: The coldest case, ‘The Piggyback Kidnap'” by Mara Bovsun, New York Daily News “Man cleared in 1957 slaying of Sycamore girl wins $300K settlement from Seattle.

Podcast Zagadki Kryminalne Empik Go Karoliny Anny to oryginalna seria 8 odcinków poświęconych brutalnym i mrożącym krew w żyłach sprawom, które wstrząsnęły światem. Znajdziecie w niej historię chorej obsesji Lisy Montgomery, która doprowadziła do zamordowania kobiety w ciąży w celu porwania jej nienarodzonego dziecka. Karolina Anna przedstawi też sprawę zabitej nastolatki, której morderca został schwytany po prawie 40 latach oraz zlecenie zabójstwa żony przez pozornie kochającego męża czy sprawę zabójstwa 7-latki Marii Ridulph. Historie, o których nie sposób zapomnieć! Godzinami będziecie zastanawiać się, dlaczego doszło do tych tragedii i czy dałoby się im zapobiec. ODCINEK #6 - MARIA RIDULPH Maria Ridulph była pełną życia pogodną 7-latką, która w 1957 roku mieszkała wraz z rodzicami i rodzeństwem w Sycamore w stanie Illinois w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Jej ulubioną formą spędzania wolnego czasu była zabawa z najlepszą przyjaciółką Kathy. Pod koniec lat 50-tych XX wieku podejście rodziców do wychowania dzieci było znacznie luźniejsze niż teraz - zabawy na świeżym powietrzu bez nadzoru dorosłych były na porządku dziennym. 3 grudnia 1957 roku po powrocie ze szkoły Maria zapytała matkę, czy mogłaby pobawić się z koleżanką na polanie niedaleko ich domu. Frances Riduplh zgodziła się bez wahania. Po kilkunastu minutach do dziewczynek podszedł nieznajomy mężczyzna i zaproponował zabawę w noszenie na barana. Niedługo później Kathy pobiegła do domu po rękawiczki, a gdy wróciła po nieznajomym i przyjaciółce nie było śladu. Sprawa porwania 7-latki stała się głośna w całym kraju i niedługo śledczy mieli stanąć przed wyzwaniem rozwiązania morderstwa.

In 1957 little seven-year-old Maria Ridulph was kidnapped from the small town of Sycamore, Illinois, while playing with her eight-year-old friend, Kathy Sigman. The brazen audacity of this heinous crime shocked the country and made national headlines for months. So sensational was the crime that daily updates were required by President Eisenhower and J. Edgar Hoover. Almost five months later, Maria Ridulph's remains were found in a patch of woods nearly 100 miles away.For three years, a flurry of suspects were paraded past Kathy Sigman, the only eyewitness, with no credible identifications. As the tips and supects faded away, the case went cold in the 1960s.In 2008 the Illinois State police received a tip from a woman claiming her half-brother, John Tessier, was the man who killed Maria Ridulph because her mother had made a deathbed confession that "John did it!" With that, an investigation began into a man who had been cleared by the FBI in 1957. A man whose witnesses to his alibi had died, forgotten, or vanished in the 51 years since the crime, A man who changed his name, had siblings with resentment issues, women troubles, failed marriages, and a conviction involving a teenage girl. This all added up to make him the perfect fall guy for the crime. A convenient man.This is the true story of a 72-year-old grandfather who spent almost five years wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he didn't commiSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/House-of-Mystery-True-Crime-History.

t was a shattering death bed confession by a heartbroken mother. But would it solve the oldest cold case murder case in American jurisprudence? In January 1994, Eileen Tessier told Jack McCullough's half-sister Janet Tessier that he, her son, kidnapped 7-year-old Maria Ridulph from their neighborhood in Sycamore, Illinois and killed her in December 1957. It was a case that tore the child’s family apart, as well as dividing and terrifying the town as the days, then the months, and finally the years passed with no arrest. In 2008 the Illinois State police reopened the case against Jack after receiving an email from Janet Tessier about their mother's deathbed confession. After the Illinois State police interviewed Janet and learned that Jack had also been accused of raping their other sister, Jeanne Tessier, they reopened the case. But would reopening the case solve the question of who killed Maria Ridulph? And was McCullough the killer? In THE LAST MAN STANDING, true crime author Alan Warren writes in exacting detail about the kidnapping, murder and subsequent investigations—both in 1957 and 2008—that eventually led to the murder conviction of Jack McCullough. But the story doesn’t stop there as it delves into the years McCullough spent in prison and the efforts to have his conviction overturned. Was McCullough the brutal killer of a little girl? Or was he the last man standing when the justice system decided he needed to pay for the crime? You decide. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/burl-barer/support

Over 50 years of investigation and we're still not sure.
When a crime occurs, police immediately set out to solve it and catch those responsible. Some cases get solved right away, others can take weeks or even years. Then there are those cases that go decades without being solved, but through a stroke of luck and a little digging authorities are finally able to solve them.

1957. Sycamore, Illinois. Christmas was three weeks away, and seven-year-old Maria Ridulph went out to play. Soon after, a figure emerged out of the falling snow. He was very friendly. Minutes later, Maria vanished, leaving behind an abandoned doll and footsteps in the snow. In April, a spring thaw gave up Maria’s body in a nearby wooded area. The case attracted national attention, including that of the FBI and President Eisenhower. In all, seventy-four men and three women fell under suspicion. But no one was ever charged with the crime. Incredibly, fifty-five years later, the coldest case in the history of American jurisprudence would be reopened. It happened after a seventy-four-year-old former neighbor of the Ridulphs named Eileen Tessier made a stunning deathbed confession to her family about a dark past, and a darker secret they knew nothing about. Two families would be joined by despair and retribution, and in an astounding turn of events, Maria Ridulph’s killer would finally be brought to justice.
