Beer, Cheese & Murder

Justice in any true crime case comes with a certain feeling of satisfaction, but there's something even more satisfying in seeing a cold case finally find justice.  Perhaps it's the validation of the fact that there is always hope; maybe it's seeing a family finally get the answers they have painfully sought for years and seeing them be able to finally move towards closure and healing; maybe it's both and more.  Join the Beer, Cheese, & Murder Gals as we honor an early podcast case request thanks to a police department and family that never gave up hope and finally found justice.

I’m sure Wisconsin isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think about an area with a drug problem, but the sad reality is that drugs are a problem everywhere.  It often seems like a silent epidemic, something to mentally keep on the peripherals.  But even so, it has touched our lives.  Family and friends fall have fallen victim to addiction and there are far too many Facebook posts about people succumbing to their addictions and dying far too young.  So, join the Beer, Cheese, & Murder Gals, as we shed some light on the topic of drugs in Wisconsin.

It is human nature to crave closure.  When it comes to true crimes, that means seeing the perpetrator face the consequences of their actions; seeing justice be served.  Sadly, it is actually more often than not, that true crime cases are left without resolution, without closure.  And while these cases can be difficult to cover, it is all the more important that we do so in the hope that someone, somewhere who may information is listening. Because that person just may be the one that holds the key to crack the case.  Join the Beer, Cheese, and Murder Gals as we draw attention to the unsolved murder of Kelly Nolan, as she and her loved ones are still waiting for justice.

A little late in coming out, but... life.

Your 20's is a time of transition, a mix of "adulting" and letting loose and enjoying your youth.  25-year-old Angela Drake was an extremely social and outgoing young woman who enjoyed hanging out at the bar with her friends but was also passionate about her chosen career as a licensed nurse.  She was a bright light, prematurely snuffed out after a chance encounter with the wrong person.  Join the Beer, Cheese, & Murder Gals as we discuss the tragic events in the murder of Angela Drake.

The start of a long holiday weekend is usually something to celebrate; a chance to relax, unwind, and spend time with friends and family.  Instead of excitement and celebration, Memorial Day weekend 1999 brought shock and terror to the community of Germantown, WI.  When the brutalized body of young Theresa Wesolowski was discovered, those who knew her were left struggling to think of who could possibly have wanted to her harm her.  Join the Beer, Cheese, and Murder Gals as we discuss the case and unravel the mystery.

The Prohibition and the Great Depression of the 1920s and '30s were lucrative times for outlaws like Al Capone and John Dillinger.  Outlaws that they were, they were often on the run, and that usually meant Wisconsin.  Wooded and rural, Wisconsin was popular among Chicago-based gangsters for its isolation, not to mention the convenient places to stash booze being smuggled in from Canada.  Join the Beer, Cheese, and Murder Gals as we scratch the surface of Wisconsin's gangster history!
