Welcome to the very first episode of Southern Macabre. I am your host; Aeryn and I am so glad you tuned in today! Southern Macabre is a podcast about true crime, missing persons, and paranormal stories in the south. Being a Southern gal in Alabama I have noticed that you rarely hear or see these stories from this region and many cases go unseen and unsolved. I want to change that by bringing these stories to your attention.   Today's story is a solved case from my hometown and it's what got me interested in true crime. You see, I grew up near Fredericksburg, Virginia in the nineties. If you lived there then you probably remember Sofia Silva and Kristin and Kati Lisk. If not, then listen up cause I'm going to tell you all about them.   So that you understand the area I'm talking about, I'll describe them to you. Fredericksburg is located in Spotsylvania County which is 412 square miles. It is known for the Civil War battles that took place there and the battlefields and a hospital still remain along with the infamous Sunken Road.    The “town” of Spotsylvania is where the courthouse is located along with schools and a few small businesses. Downtown Fredericksburg, located in Spotsylvania County, is filled with businesses that have been open for fifty to one hundred years, antique stores, and a few local businesses that have sprung up in recent years.   The other side of Fredericksburg has a mall that was built in the 1970s and the first Walmart in the area. There was also a Kmart, Giant foods, some law offices, churches, a small college, a community college, and restaurants scattered around town. Once you got out of town there were miles and miles of farmland as well as the four battlefields.   -----   On September 9, 1996 Sofia went inside her home near Spotsylvania Courthouse, where her older sister was. She talked to a friend on the phone for about thirty minutes. They considered attending the first football game of the season that evening, but decided to skip it. After hanging up, Sofia grabbed a soda and headed outside to do her homework. It was a beautiful sunny day and she didn't want to be cooped up inside. Her sister didn't see or hear anything when a man stopped and got Sofia in his car. When she went outside to check on her sister, all she found was an open can of grape soda and Sofia's class notes.   Despite being in a neighborhood where the houses were relatively close together, her neighbors didn't notice anything suspicious. Police searched nearby Loriella Park and a pond behind her house, but didn't see any signs of her.   Her body was found five weeks later by men removing a beaver dam about twenty miles from her home in King George, Virginia. Her body was wrapped in a blue moving blanket, bound with rope, and partially submerged in a creek. King George is across the bridge from Downtown Fredericksburg.   An FBI profiler estimated that they were dealing with a pedophile who would likely do this again. Police began questioning locals and several people told them about Karl Michael Roush. Neighbors had seen him sitting in his van watching children getting on and off their school buses. He lived in a basement apartment a few houses down from Sofia and her family. When police talked to his employer they found rope, similar to what had been used on Sofia. His employer also told police that several blue moving blankets they used for work were missing.   Mr. Roush moved to Florida soon after Sofia went missing to start his own business. He returned to Spotsylvania as soon as his ex-wife informed him that police wanted to speak with him.   He was arrested, but maintained his innocence while he awaited trial. Meanwhile, the state crime lab in Richmond, Virginia matched carpet fibers from his van to the ones on Sofia's body.   -- --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode of Walking History we discuss The Battle of Antietam, also known as The Battle of Sharpsburg, one of the most consequential battles of the American Civil War and the single bloodiest day in American history. We also take a look at what it's like to visit this extremely well-preserved battlefield today.  The Battle of Antietam took place on September 17th, 1862 in the Appalachian foothills of western Maryland, just across the border from Virginia. It resulted in almost 23,000 casualties and over 3,500 deaths, although the actual numbers are likely far higher, and lead President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Want to jump ahead in this episode?Summary: 2:08Interesting Facts: 6:40Context of the Battle: 8:16The Battle: 31:26Aftermath of the Battle: 50:38Visiting the Battlefield Today: 59:58 In the weeks before the battle, more than 40,000 Confederate troops lead by General Robert E. Lee had made their way north into Union held Maryland and were pursued by almost 90,000 Union troops under the command of General George B. McClellan. Lee eventually positioned his forces in a somewhat precarious position near the town of Sharpsburg, Maryland, with his back to Potomac River. A master tactician, he knew the many faults of his opponent, and was willing to bet his smaller force could still win the day. McClellan positioned his forces north to south, opposite Lee's, across a small river called Antietam Creek, and set up to attack. Small-scale skirmishing occurred on the evening of September 16th, and early on September 17th the Union attack began in earnest. McClellan attacked first at the northern end of the line, and for hours Union forces bombarded Confederate troops in a bloodbath that left thousands dead and wounded. Unable to dislodge the Confederates, McClellan then sent his forces towards the center at what would become one of the most hallowed grounds on a Civil War battlefield, the Sunken Road, also known as the Bloody Lane. Finally, McClellan ordered attacks towards the south of the line where a small bridge crossed Antietam Creek. For hours thousands of Union troops were held back by only 500 Confederates who held the high ground across the river until Union troops finally broke through at 1pm. Almost in a position to outflank Lee's army and potentially cut them off from retreat, a Confederate force arrived at the last possible moment, stalling the Union advance and effectively ending the battle. Lee, outnumbered and battered, remained in his position the next day and then retreated back to Confederate held Virginia. McClellan, despite repeated pleas by Lincoln and the War Department, refused to pursue.The battle was a strategic victory for the North in that it stopped a Confederate invasion, but could have resulted with the complete defeat or capture of Lee's forces had McClellan acted more decisively or had a more competent commander been in charge. Seeing the battle as an important morale boost for the country, however, President Lincoln used the opportunity to issue one of the most famous and consequential statements in American history, the Emancipation Proclamation, changing the nature of the war and forever altering the course of US history. The Educator Podcast is hosted by Matt Douglas, former history teacher, longtime educator and life coach for teens and young adults.

Garry Disher is the author of more than fifty titles. Garry Disher is the author of more than fifty titles. He was nominated for the Booker Prize for his 1996 novel The Sunken Road and has a lifetime Ned Kelly award. And today I want to share with you the latest in his rural noir series centering on his protagonist Constable Paul Hirshhausen.Hirsch is the only cop in the poorly heated police station in Tiverton. He was run out of Adelaide when he turned whistleblower on corruption leaving behind a promising career in the city. But the town has come to know him, they even trust him enough to play Santa on the annual parade, but there’s always an edge when police are around.Consolation opens with Hirsh investigating a Snowdropper - that’s when someone sneaks around stealing women’s underwear in the night. It’s the sort of weird crime that Hirsch knows can escalate.When you’re the only cop and everyone knows your number it’s not hard for things to get busy pretty quickly; Hirsch is called to a house where a homeschooled child is being neglected, then back to town where a disgruntled father is taking it out on the teachers.I recently spoke with Garry ( and you can catch that conversation on the Final Draft podcast _wherever all good podcasts are found). He wrote this novel during lockdown and even though he deliberately avoided going into our Covid times (although he teased the next novel would) Garry was clearly interested and influenced by ideas that have been percolating for many of us.Consolation asks questions about how we work as a community. The ties that bind and who we trust. Even small towns have their mystery and Consolation explores the divide between the public and the private sphere - who and what are we responsible for? What do we owe each other?Technology plays a big role in the novel. It’s power to connect is juxtaposed with the ways it can be used for abuse. There’s an interesting subplot where Hirsch (whose number is always freely available to the townsfolk of Tiverton) suffers unwanted and escalating attention via txt. Most fascinating is the way that Hirsch is exposed as vulnerable and has his conviction that he can handle the situation challenged.This book felt like an opening up of Hirsch’s character. We see a delicate balance of thoughtful and tough which makes for a genuinely engaging portrait of a series detective.Garry Disher’s rural noir series featuring Hirsch is an incredibly satisfying look at everyday Australia.
