This is the second mini-sode for Danger on Delmarva.  This episode will cover the tragic deaths of 2 young people, a 17 year-old young woman who was on the cusp of adulthood and a 3 year-old girl who had barely had a chance to begin life.  Both were betrayed by people that they loved, and the thoughts of these actions can be truly heartbreaking.  Neither case has gone to trial yet, but arrests have been made.  As the cases unfold, I will be sure to update.

Today we explore the First State’s first serial Killer, Steven Pannell.  He still is a mystery, though what he did is infamous.  While some reported that he had a sometimes rocky relationship with his mother, what was described does not seem to add up to the sheer hatred he had for and need to control women.  This story was horrific then, and it still continues to be.  Let’s not forget his victims nor the lives that Pannell stole from them and their families.

Join me as I review the crash of Pan Am Flight 214 near Elkton, MD in 1963.  All seemed pretty normal when Air Traffic Control received an urgent Mayday call, but they did not hear from the flight again.  What took a normal flight from a holding pattern to a quick descent?

Today let’s explore 1953 Northern Delaware along the shipping lanes of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, or C & D, along with other points along and near Delaware City.  Two Crude Carriers collided - the SS Phoenix and the SS Pan Massachusetts, both owned by the same company.  Who was at fault?  What did we learn?  How would people think of this disaster in today’s terms and wealth of knowledge.  Join me as I learn about and reflect on a maritime disaster that’s impact can still be felt today.

Join me as I recall a very turbulent and tense morning throughout the Eastern Shore of Delaware and parts of Maryland, taking place in 2005.  While the day started as any other, it quickly devolved into fear, dread and worry as a gunman drove through 2 states shooting indiscriminately at people, pets and objects.  

Allison Lamont Norman and his brother Shane Deshields had a difficult childhood, and with 2 defining crimes, they decided their fates.

In this episode, I will examine a night that many people in the Northern Mid-Atlantic region remember, but not for the same reason that I will be covering.

While many people remember this night as the night that their local team won their first World Series, others remember it as a night full of shock, tragedy, loss and fear.

Join me as I explore the dark side of the Diamond State, Delaware. Delaware is filled with plenty of danger, from extreme weather, to violent crimes, to unexploded WWII munitions.

In this first episode, I will explore the story of Charles Holden and his mother, Dorothy Donovan. The police were presented with an unbelievable story, focusing all of their efforts on Charles Holden, the most obvious suspect.

Let's explore this twisted tale full of unexpected resolutions.
