Podcasts about Small Town Crime

On Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1997, 16-year-old Karen Mitchell vanished in Eureka, California. Originally from Whittier near Long Beach, she had moved north a few months earlier to live with her aunt and uncle, hoping the rural setting would suit her nature-loving personality better than Southern California. That afternoon, Karen caught a ride with her aunt to Bayshore Mall, then left around 2:45 p.m. to walk about a mile along Broadway (US 101) to her daycare job...but she never arrived. When her aunt came to pick her up hours later, Karen was gone. Despite immediate searches and her mother’s desperate trip north, Karen Mitchell was never seen again.

THE CIRCLEVILLE LETTERS: AMERICA'S MOST DISTURBING ANONYMOUS THREAT CAMPAIGNFor over two decades, someone in Circleville, Ohio waged one of the most extensive campaigns of psychological terror in American history. Thousands of letters. Hundreds of victims. Secrets, accusations, and threats that knew too much about people's private lives.In 1976, school bus driver Mary Gillispie started receiving letters accusing her of having an affair with her boss. The letters were graphic, detailed, and deeply disturbing...created with cut-out magazine letters like something out of a ransom note. But Mary wasn't the only target. Her husband Ron received letters too, taunting him for not stopping his wife's alleged affair.Then in 1977, Ron Gillispie died in a single-vehicle crash after receiving a mysterious phone call. Was it an accident, or did the letter writer's harassment turn deadly?The letters continued for years, escalating in 1983 when someone constructed a booby trap designed to kill Mary...a gun rigged to fire when she removed a sign from her bus route. Mary narrowly escaped with her life.Paul Freshour, Ron's brother-in-law, was convicted of attempted murder and sent to prison. Case closed, right?Except the letters never stopped. They continued while Paul sat in a cell with no way to mail anonymous letters. For years, the letters kept coming, containing the same intimate knowledge of Circleville's secrets, the same threatening tone, the same cut-out magazine style.So who really wrote the Circleville Letters? Was Paul Freshour innocent, framed by the real letter writer who's still out there? Did he have an accomplice who continued his work? Or were there multiple letter writers all along?Keywords: True Crime, Unsolved Mystery, Circleville Letters, Anonymous Letters, Stalking, Ohio, Cold Case, 1970s Crime, 1980s Crime, Psychological Terror, Small Town Crime, Paul Freshour, Mary Gillispie, Pickaway County, Harassment Campaign, Attempted Murder, Wrongful ConvictionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-a-true-crime-podcast--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.

On June 10, 2006, 21-year-old Deidre Harm was headed to a night out with friends. She had a four-month-old daughter, Vegas, and had hired a babysitter to watch her. She and her friends went out downtown in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. And then, she never came home. She never called her babysitter. She simply disappeared. For months, Deirdre’s friends and family looked for her, sharing her missing poster all around town. But they found no trace of her. Police eventually began to believe that they were on the trail of a serial killer. The investigation spanned 19 years and several states - and focused on a man living a double life. A man who police believe is responsible for at least three murders, and there could be other victims out there.

Today on the show we have maniac writers/directors The Nelms Brothers, and I say maniacs in the best possible way. Ian and Eshom Nelms, grew up in central California waging two hundred man G.I. Joe wars and dreaming in John Ford landscapes. They have written and directed numerous award-winning and critically- acclaimed films.The brothers are known for their unique ability to traverse from one genre to another, seamlessly and successfully, from drama to comedy to thrillers. Their film, LOST ON PURPOSE (2013), was a heartfelt coming-of-age love letter to their small hometown.From there, the siblings wrote and directed WAFFLE STREET (2015), a comedic turn based on an autobiographical memoir about a billion-dollar hedge-fund manager turned waffle house server. Their film, SMALL TOWN CRIME (2018) is a crime thriller that premiered at SXSW and BFI London Film Festival and received positive reviews by top critics upon its theatrical release.We are here today to discuss their latest opus, FATMAN starring Mel Gibson, Walton Goggins, and Marianne Jean-Baptist. The film centers on a neglected and precocious 12-year-old who hires an unorthodox hitman to kill Santa Claus after receiving a lump of coal in his stocking. They had me at FATMAN.I absolutely loved FATMAN and am glad it is in existence. It is one of my favorite films of the year. In this crazy 2020, this is the film we all need to watch right now. I can't tell you how fun it was talking to Ian and Eshom.We discuss how they came up in the business, the 14 years it took to bring FATMAN to the big screen, working as a director team, and their misadventures in Hollyweird.Do yourself a favor and watch FATMAN tonight! It is brilliant. To be honest I'm jealous I didn't think of this. The idea for FATMAN is just so genius. I'm glad these two filmmakers brought it to life.Enjoy my conversation with filmmakers Ian and Eshom Nelms.
