F**k That

In January of 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers began their expedition across the Northern Ural Mountains in The Soviet Union. Their goal was to reach Otorten Mountain, a place whose name ominously translates to "don't go there." After harsh weather conditions forced the group to establish camp on the open mountain slope, they were never heard from again. Eventually, the bodies of the nine hikers were discovered under strange circumstances.

As Domestic Violence Awareness month winds down, I had a special guest on the show. In 2016, Ashley Michelle’s on-and-off again partner, William Joles, brutally murdered his best friend, Nathan Deslippes. William then lured Ashley to the apartment, where he assaulted her, attempted to strangle her, and forced her to clean up the scene.

Ashley escaped, but the trauma endured… However, Ashley has been able to use her experiences to help others in need, and has recently written a book titled, “Finding Strength Through Tragedy.”

The Bennington Triangle is known as one of Vermont’s biggest mysteries. After several disappearances occurred in the 1940’s and 1950’s, theories arose ranging from irregular weather patterns, to aliens.

After her husband Richard told several variations of where Helle went, police uncovered damning evidence, implying that he knew more than what he was admitting. Leading up to Helle's disappearance, Richard bought a large-capacity freezer. And the day of her disappearance? Richard rented a large wood chipper.

On a summer's day on August 23, 1973, the quiet calm of Stockholm’s Norrmalmstorg square was shattered by the sound of gunfire. Escaped convict Jan-Erik Olsson entered the Kreditbanken bank, intending to rob it. The events that followed resulted in a six day hostage crisis that led to the development of Stockholm Syndrome.

Anyone with information about the unsolved murders should contact the Atlantic City’s Prosecutor’s Office at 609-909-7800 or visit acpo.org/tip/new to submit an anonymous tip.

After the arrest of Rex Heuermann in July of 2023, the investigation into the Gilgo Beach murders, once again, collided with the West Atlantic City murders, leaving authorities searching for connections between the cases again years later. While the evidence ultimately yielded no direct link, the recent events have brought to light the four unsolved murders of Kim Raffo, Barbara Breidor, Molly Jean Dilts, and Tracy Ann Roberts in 2006.
