This week, Mr. Slim Turkey and I delve into the socio-psychological phenomenon known as "diffusion of responsibility." The phenomenon is often used to explain the BYSTANDER EFFECT, where in the midst of a large crowd, a person is less likely to receive aid and assistance in the event of an emergency. The bystander effect may have even influenced motorists passing Richard Aderson and his killer on the side of I-84 on the evening of February 5, 1997. With each driver relieved of the pressure to respond, thinking, "Someone else has probably called for help," they possibly drove by the homicide and never looked back.

This week I'm joined by Dr. Shiloh Catanese, a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist from Los Angeles AND host of the L.A. Not So Confidential podcast. Dr. Shiloh and I discuss the Richard Aderson case in depth, in which she lends both her expertise and opinions on the case. Was this truly a case of road rage? Could Richard have possibly known his killer? What role might guilt play in finally unmasking the killer? How can keeping secrets be harmful to one's emotional and psychological health?

After 22 years without a viable suspect, has the Richard Aderson case gone cold? Unfortunately, it’s one of a growing number to have met with such a hopeless conclusion. Despite the advances in technology, such as omnipresent surveillance and DNA research, homicide clearance rates have steadily declined in the U.S. over the last half-century. In this first of a two-part series, we’ll examine the factors that have contributed to the increasing numbers of unsolved cases across the country. And in the conclusion of our examination of cold cases, we’ll discuss how homicide investigators have begun to effectively employ TIME to their advantage in resolving cases that were long considered unsolvable.

On November 14, 1998 the Union Leader ran the headline, "Police Clear Derry Man in New York Slaying." Nearly two years after Richard Aderson's homicide, the prime suspect in his murder investigation had apparently been cleared by the New York State Police. Yet after reporting on the Aderson homicide and investigation for 18 long months, Cissy Taylor's name was nowhere to be found in that article. The byline simply read Derek Rose. Who was Derek Rose and how did he come to write the newspaper's last chapter in the Richard Aderson investigation? This podcast may contain information that some may find disturbing.

Cissy Taylor, the crime reporter for New Hampshire's Union Leader, covered the Richard Aderson homicide and subsequent investigation with great dedication and persistence. But why did this Manchester based reporter dedicate herself to writing eleven articles about a New York homicide over the course of a year and a half? That’s a lot of coverage by any measure. Did Cissy know something about Aderson’s killer that she did not or could not reveal? This podcast may contain information that some may find disturbing.

The investigation into Richard Aderson's homicide has been kept under tight wraps by the New York State Police for the last two decades. Initially the police appeared to be transparent, seemingly sharing information with the media. But as time has passed, the New York State Police have become increasingly stingy in releasing any information related to Richard's investigation. Why have the police withheld seemingly harmless information? And what are their motives? In this episode, we'll begin to tackle the question of WHY the police have monopolized that information.

Richard Aderson may have been the first official road rage fatality in New York state after the term road rage seemed to gain popularity in the mid 1990s but he was far from being just a statistic. He was a husband, a father, a brother, a son, a friend, a teacher and so much more than just a number on a sheet of paper. In this episode, we discuss the enormous impact his death had on his family.

On February 5, 1997, Richard Aderson and an unknown motorist had a minor collision on eastbound I-84 in New York state. Soon after stopping to access the damage, Richard had been shot once in the chest and was left to die on the side of the road. Miraculously, he willed himself to crawl back to his vehicle and call 911, where he remained on the phone with an emergency operator for 9 minutes! Sadly, Richard died while being transported to the hospital but he left untold clues in that 911 call that continue to remain hidden from the public view 21 years later.
