Richard John Bingham (known as John) was the 7th Earl of Lucan and would later be labeled as one of the only royal family members to commit murder.

John lived a life that was straight out of a movie: money, fast cars, and gambling (at one point he was even offered an opportunity to audition for one of the original James Bond films). 

Ray Gricar was a District Attorney in Pennsylvania that went missing in 2005. 

As with a lot of missing person cases, there are three theories: Ray took his own life, foul play, or he walked away to start a new life. 

But, what is different in this case than in most missing person cases, is that there are pretty strong circumstances that could support any of the three options. 

In 1974, a young woman was found murdered in a church after she went there to pray. Over the course of 43 years there were many theories, to include a notorious serial killer, and a satanic cult. But no one realized just how close they were all along to the killer.

Laureen Rahn was only 14 years old when she went missing in Manchester, New Hampshire in 1980.  Over the years several theories came out about her disappearance. Could it be related to human trafficking? Or a serial killer who was living in the area and was believed to have killed someone just two blocks away from her house, six months later. Or could there be something different?

In this episode, we are going to discuss a few of the possible scenarios and theories, some of which cross the country to a motel in Santa Monica, California. 

Thank you all for listening! 

This case is going to take us back a bit...to the 1800s. 

George Leslie was an architect that quickly turned into a bank robber in 1869. Over a nine year span, George orchestrated bank robberies unlike anyone had ever seen. On the weekends he would associate with the elite families, politicians, and business owners of New York City,  and when he wasn't with them, he was planning his next heist. 

Over the span of his career, it was estimated that he stole what would be 200 million dollars today. But, as good as he was at robbing banks...there were still issues that he hadn't figured out how to deal with.

You can listen to this episode to learn more about George, the robberies, and his suspicious death.

In 1996, a young woman, Sharon Hammack was found murdered on the side of the road in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Around that time, 1994-1996, 11 other women were found murdered in the area under similar circumstances. 

In August of 2022, Detectives made an arrest in Sharon's case. Gary Artman, a truck driver from White Springs, Florida was arrested. He has not been connected to the 11 other murders in that area, but he was connected to another from 2006 in Maryland. 

Listen to this episode to learn a little bit more about this case, it is still an ongoing case, so there wasn't a whole lot of information available.

Over the course of 51 days in 2017, a serial killer terrorized the small community of Seminole Heights in Tampa, Florida.

Benjamin Mitchell, Monica Hoffa, Anthony Naiboa, and Ronald Felton were all living their lives before they were tragically killed. We will talk about them, their lives, and what made them who they are.

We will also talk about the suspect, Howell Donaldson III (he is still awaiting his trial, so I think I have to say that despite the stuff we talk about in this episode, he is innocent until proven guilty...but you can listen to this episode for the facts about this case).

Raymond McCleod was added to the U.S. Marshall's 15 most wanted list.
