For years, the violence that occurred in the area known as "Black Wall Street" in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921 was remembered as the "Tulsa Race Riot" - when it was even remembered at all.  But that name, promoted by the media and government officials, was at best a misleading description of what we've now started to reveal over the past few decades as a massacre perpetrated on a thriving Black community that took generations to recover.

Her story seemed innocent at first, if not charming.  A young immigrant woman from Germany befriending older gentlemen in Cincinnati's German community and providing them memories of home with her Old World cooking.  But as these men fell ill - or worse, starting dying - the motives behind Anna Marie Hahn's friendly overtures proved to be far more devious.

It's a story every American grade school student learns - how the actor John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln in his box at the Ford's Theater, jumped down to the stage, and fled Washington DC until he was killed by the authorities in a barn in rural Virginia.  But it's not widely known that Booth wasn't acting alone, and that President Lincoln was only one of several targets he and his conspirators planned to murder on the night of April 15, 1865.  In today's episode, we tell the story of the others involved and their plot to assassinate multiple members of Lincoln's administration and throw a country just starting to recover from the Civil War into chaos.

On September 10, 1897, roughly 300 to 400 unarmed strikers marched peacefully to a coal mine to support a newly formed United Mine Workers union. The miners, mostly consisting of Slovak and German ethnicity, were on strike fighting for safe working conditions and livable wages. On their march they were met by law enforcement officials multiple times and were asked to disperse, but kept on marching. When the strikers reached the Lattimer mine near Hazleton, Pennsylvania, they were asked to disperse once again by the sheriff and again they refused, ending in a violent scuffle where police opened fire. In today's episode, we examine the tragedy that killed at least 19 miners, wounded dozens, and marked a turning point in American labor history.  "Crimes of the Centuries" is a podcast from the Obsessed Network exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.

At 9:30 am on July 2, 1881 in Washington, D.C., the 20th American president James Garfield was shot at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station. Garfield's assassin: Charles J. Guiteau, a man described as awkward, insecure, and mentally disturbed.

As we explored in our first episode covering this case, Sir Harry Oakes was a member of the "elite" class of men who migrated to the Bahamas to avoid taxes and take part in business activities that weren't on the up-and-up.  This group also included two men who detested each other - the exiled aristocrat Alfred de Marigny and the Duke of Windsor, who had abdicated the British throne. In the conclusion of this two-part episode, we dive deeper into Oakes' life, possible suspects, and the unsolved story of his mysterious murder in the Bahamas.

In 1931 in Honolulu, Hawaii, Thalia Massie claimed she was raped by a group of men, including Joseph Kahahawai, a well-known local prizefighter. Cracks in Thalia's story throughout the case led to deadlocked jury and a mistrial, leading Thalia's mother, Grace Fortescue, and several accomplices, to murder Joseph Kahahawai. The group soon thereafter were charged with his murder. In today's episode we discuss The Massie Trial, known as the Massie Affair, and how this high-profile and controversial case unfolded.

Hey, Strange & Unexplained listeners!  We're off this week for the Memorial Day holiday, but didn't want to leave you with an empty feed, so we're featuring an episode from another Obsessed Network show, “Crimes of the Centuries” Crime is so commonplace that it takes something particularly shocking and horrifying to be labelled the “crime of the century.” Even so, many of these crimes have been forgotten or lost to history. Until now.  Each week, award-winning report Amber Hunt takes a deep dive into one of these crimes, telling forgotten true crime tales that you may not have heard before. The episode we're sharing today, “Chasing a Ghost,” tells the story of the murder of a small-town Pennsylvania police chief, which seemed like an open-and-shut case when it happened in December of 1980.  After all, whoever shot Gregory Adams appeared to have left a driver's license at the scene of the crime.  But investigators soon learned that the case would prove more challenging than expected, with a criminal who seemed to vanish into thin air for decades. We'll be back with an all new S&U episode next week, so in the meantime, check out “Crimes of the Centuries” wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, Crimes of the Centuries listeners! We're off for the Memorial Day holiday, but didn't want to leave you with an empty feed, so we're featuring an episode from another Obsessed Network show, “Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan” Daisy is a Tony Award-winning actor, writer, and true crime fanatic. But she's also a skeptic. Each week she looks  at real stories of hauntings, disappearances, UFO encounters, and anything else that feels just beyond what we can easily make sense of. She is your guide into the inexplicable details of these stories. But she's also like, “show me the receipts.” We're sharing an episode that we think is perfect for COTC listeners - the story of Typhoid Mary, a cook who refused to wash her hands and the health department that chased her around New York City in search of a stool sample. She'd end up alone on an island, but everyone knew her name. We'll be back with and all new COTC episode next week, so in the meantime, check out “Strange & Unexplained with Daisy Eagan” wherever you get your podcasts.

Multiple murders, violent assaults, and a new forensic fingerprint technique.

Earlier this year, author Jaret Kobec named a new suspect to be the Zodiac Killer. This was based on years of research which uncovered never before seen evidence and answered many of the open questions in the case. Kobec's evidence for his suspect is so compelling that many true crime heavyweights have staked their reputations on their belief that Kobec has identified the Zodiac Killer once and for all. We at the Obsessed Network are proud to announce that we helped publish the audiobook version of Kobec's work. The audiobook is called How To Find Zodiac. The audiobook is voiced by the award winning narrator Scott Brick  and is available right now for download from Audible. In How To Find Zodiac, Kobec names his suspect in the first 15 minutes and then spends the rest of the audiobook laying out his evidence. It will make you reexamine  everything you think you know about the case and leave you with little doubt that this decades-old mystery has finally been solved.
