This week, we're revisiting the tragic and unsolved murders of Keyona Griffin and Cherletta Baber-Bey. Long-time Crime Salad listeners may recall this heartbreaking case, but I feel deeply compelled to keep their story alive, as justice has yet to be served for them and their family. Before we dive in, please be aware that this episode contains graphic details that may be disturbing. Listener discretion is advised.

Derrell is 47 years old, 5’8 and 180 pounds. He could be in the Columbus, Ohio, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, or Atlanta, Georgia areas. Call police at 616-456-2400 with any information."

This story takes place in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where Jennifer Paxton was invited over to this guy's house, essentially offering her a place to stay.

In the quiet, rural village of Otway, Ohio, a community of just 87 people, a tragic story unfolded that would shock the nation. On January 10th, 2019, a beautiful baby boy named Dylan Groves entered the world, born one month premature. Weighing 5 pounds, 10 ounces, and measuring 19 inches long, Dylan should have been cradled with love and care, but from the moment of his birth, he was met with indifference. His mother, who was battling a crippling drug addiction, showed no interest in her newborn son, who was high on drugs and completely detached.

A brutal, deadly attack on the Smith family was discovered on July 30, 2015, in Pensacola, Florida. Three family members, Voncile, Richard, and John Smith, were found beaten and bloodied and found under piles of clothes in the home. A police press conference was held with the shocking idea that this was the work of witchcraft, and what scared the community even more was that the killer was still at large, possibly looking for the next attack. When the media got their hands on the story, they got creative with their headlines, calling it the Blue Moon Murders or the Wiccan Sacrifice.
