Payton's week!

Don Henry and Kevin Ives were teenagers growing up in Alexander, Arkansas. But sadly these boys' bodies were hit by a train. From the moment the investigation starts, it becomes a conspiracy. Despite the strange circumstances at the scene the case is ruled an accident. In this episode we talk about the parents of these boys who had to jump through hoops to get straight answers from anyone regarding their sons' deaths. 

Paige's week!

This week Paige is bringing yet another episode that she hopes to be a series, this time she's talking Cryptids! She has already dipped her toes into the Cryptid pool once when she talked about Changelings but this time we are headed to Australia to see what they've come up with. We talk about three in particular; The Yara-ma-yha-who, the Drop Bear, and the Bunyip. If you're equal parts confused and intrigued, give it a listen to learn more!

Payton's week!

We finally are finishing up with Dorothea Puente. We discuss all the excavation over that November weekend, and how they were able to catch her after she was able to fool police and go on the run.  We go over the arguments of the trail, and finally the boarding house today. 

Payton's week!

Unfortunately life is crazy, so we're taking a trip in the other lane in between Dorothea Puente episodes.

Payton's brings us an overview of the history on guillotines. The origins, the French Revolution, and the guillotine in the 20th century.

Payton’s week!

So sorry for the late upload, life has been crazy! This week, Payton brings Dorothea Puente to the table. Dorothea preyed on the elderly, mentally ill, and anyone having a difficult time or in a vulnerable situation. We discuss her early life, and the disappearances of many tenants who ended up being in her care at the horror show she called a “boarding house.”

Paige's week!

We are back to the true crime this week with a first for us: a Black Widow. I think the name speaks for itself but if you've never heard the term describe someone, it means a woman who marries a man and ends up killing him for whatever reason. This one I'm bringing you this week is......a lot. You'll have to listen to know how crazy this story is and why some of this is technically unsolved. Make sure you keep up because you're in for a wild ride!

Payton's week!

What we hope to be the first of a series, Payton is bringing you a couple of specific pet cemeteries. Just like you would a human loved one, you can inter your pets in a pet cemetery. Unlike Stephen King's book, these cemeteries are a place of unconditional love and loyalty. We talk about two specific pet cemeteries, along with The International Association of Pet Cemeteries & Crematories. We discuss the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York, and then we discuss the Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park in Calabasas, California.

Paige's Week!

Today Paige is bringing you the case of the unidentified man found on Somerton Beach in Adelaide, Australia. This case goes by many names: the Unknown Man, the Somerton Man, and the Tamám Shud case, to name a few. Whichever name you know it by, a man in a suit was found dead on Somerton Beach. Every piece of evidence that was discovered lead to more questions and theories as to who this man was, but unfortunately, he has never been identified and the case is still unsolved to this day. Time to wildly speculate!

Payton's Week!

This week is a tough one. We discuss the murder and torture of Junko Furuta. She was a young girl with a lot of potential from Misato, Japan. Four boys from the area kidnapped her and held her captive for over 40 days, and it that time she suffered unimaginable horror.
This case was on another level of evil, but because the crimes were perpetrated by juveniles, they were rewarded special previsions under the juvenile law. This along with other violent crimes committed by minors led to somewhat of a reform of the juvenile law.

Paige's week!

This week, we're taking you on a wild journey in covered wagons down the Oregon Trail!... sort of. 
Many people knows this as the horrific tail of settlers who got trapped and had to resort to cannibalism to survive, but Paige dives into the story further. What is now known as the infamous "Donner Party" made a series of not so great choices along the way and unfortunately ran into several men that clearly did not have their best interests at heart. The combination ended up creating a tragic domino effect that ended in murder, cannibalism, and many rescue parties.
