On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz bring you the tragic story of the murder of 13-year-old Maryann Measles, a seventh grader who lived in New Milford, Connecticut in 1997. Maryann had found herself inside a group of eight older people, fitting into their friend circle by smoking cigarettes and weed, amongst other things. After going to her mother to confide in her about having sexual relations with two of the older men in the group, she planned on filing two statutory rape charges. When word got around that she did this, the eight friends made a plot to silence the teenager- permanently. Tune in to hear the details of the crime and the downfall of all eight villains in this story.

By Davy Crockett By 1884, “Old Sport” Peter Napoleon Campana (1836-1906), had gained national fame. He was being called "the clown of the walking matches." While he was never competitive enough to win a six-day race, event managers knew that he was a huge draw to bring spectators into a race. They paid him a salary to be in their races. At age 52, some called him "The living skeleton." Campana acted the part of a decrepit old man and said, “I am 62 years old and I haven't got a tooth in my head and only a few hairs on it, but I'm here for sport, and don't you forget it.” New book! Old Sport Campana: Ultrarunning's Most Popular and Amusing 19th Century Runner. As I researched for these podcast episodes, I realized that I had enough content for an entire amusing and interesting book. This episode previews chapter six of the book. To read the entire story of Old Sport, get my new book on Amazon. Another Retirement After May 1884, the number of six-day races declined. Those held until 1886 were more of a minor nature, and no races were held in Campana's favorite venue, Madison Square Garden. It was written, “Walking matches no longer fire the public heart to the violence of a volcano”. The lull was mostly caused by a long financial recession until mid-1885, which contributed to tightening money. Campana did not compete in another six-day race for nearly three years. He tried to enter the first major six-day roller skating race held in March 1885, in Madison Square Garden. “One of the familiar sights was the appearance of Old Sport Campana, the ancient rival of O'Leary, still wearing the peaked cap, red shirt and bandanna neckerchief, that made him the object of curiosity in days gone by.” He believed he could win the race, but the managers refused to let him enter, knowing about his clowning reputation. Campana's Fame Campana was now recognized nearly everywhere he went. One day, he showed up in Boston. “A number of people followed the ‘old hero' about town with no particular object in view, other than to see him. Finally, he went into one of the drug stores and purchased sixteen ounces of the tincture of Jamaica ginger, which he drank at once, on a bet. Everyone expected to see him drop dead, but ‘Sport' is not one of the dying kind. It took considerable water and a good deal of profanity to cool his mouth off.” Later in the month, Campana was in New York City, examining a bunch of bananas in the warehouse of a Greenwich dealer. Going by, was a well-dressed man, with three friends who went into Smith & McNell's hotel. Campana yelled out, “There goes John L. Sullivan and Patsy Sheppard (boxers).” That started a mob of nearly 500 men going to the windows of the hotel trying to get a glimpse of the famous athletes. Campana Seriously Injured At his hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut, one day in June 1885, Campana was at a baseball game, cheering for Princeton instead of Bridgeport. He went too far, became abusive, and refused to leave. “The old man doesn't like the Bridgeport team worth a cent, and he kept on with his voice regardless of consequences. His brother, Policeman Alex Campana, was asked to quiet Sport and he did so, after a short parley with him, by whacking him three times on the head with his club. The pedestrian then walked off like a little lamb, bleeding. Some of the bystanders expressed indignation that the special officer clubbed his brother, but the majority thought that he got what he deserved.” He ended up in the hospital for weeks, sick, in critical condition, and without money or friends. In August 1885, after six weeks, he was discharged, became a ward of the city, and was expected to die at any moment. A month later, he had recovered and seemed to be like his old self. Campana the Peddler Campana succeeded in peddling a new product. He said, “There's no place like the New Milford fair. I went up there without a cent.

On this episode of Club + Resort Talks, Senior Editor Phil Keren interviews Rich Wade, Director of Squash and Padel at The Philadelphia Cricket Club, about the club's padel offerings. Wade gives a primer on padel, discusses why the club decided to offer the sport, and reviews the padel programs and leagues that are available. Phil and Editor-In-Chief Rob Thomas also reviewed news stories happening with clubs in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Georgia, North Carolina, and New York. The market for golf courses is experiencing a significant upswing, as seen in the recent listings and sales of properties that are in different stages of development and ownership. Rob and Phil examined two examples that highlight this trend: the Hershey's Mill Golf Club in Chester County, Pa., listed for $9.9 million, and the Candlewood Valley Country Club in New Milford, Conn., sold for $2.5 million. Phil and Rob also highlighted the improvements to the fairways, greens and bunkers at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga. in a restoration that was led by designer Andrew Green. The reopening of the course coincided with the club hosting the TOUR Championship. Rob and Phil also looked at two new amenities being offered at Lake Toxaway Country Club, a private club in western North Carolina — a stand-alone Golf Academy (in addition to their Tom Fazio Learning Center) and The Nest, which includes a climbing wall. The all-new Golf Academy, located at the Tom Fazio Learning Center, opened in May and is a full-service, comprehensive player development program with swing analysis, custom golf club fitting services, training programs, and golf instruction with the club's PGA professionals. Phil and Rob spotlighted Glens Falls Country Club's plans to add two outdoor paddleball courts to their existing three.

The incredible story is told by New Milford author Bill Devlin.

Convicted in 1989 of the brutal murder of 65-year-old Everett Carr in New Milford, Connecticut, Ricky Birch and Shawn Henning were sentenced to 50 years behind bars without any physical evidence tying them to the crime scene. At trial, prosecutors had to explain to a jury how the two men, then only in their teens, managed to beat and stab their victim over 25 times without getting a single drop of his blood onto their clothing. To do so, the district attorney's office relied on the testimony of the state's top pathologist ..a man very well known to true crime content enthusiasts. A man by the name of Dr. Henry Lee. Today, Dr. Lee is considered one of the country's foremost experts on forensic science. Birch and Henning spent decades in prison substantially based on Dr. Henry Lee's testimony at their trial. More than 30 years after they were convicted, new information came to light and eventually led to their convictions being vacated in 2020. Subsequent to that, Dr. Henry Lee's reputation would come under intense scrutiny and he found himself in legal trouble.   The question now rests in the court of public opinion: Did Dr. Henry Lee make a devastating error on the witness stand? Or, did a man who's investigated some of the country's most prominent crimes of the last three decades lie to obtain a conviction?
