157 // Barbara Blatnik Cold Case

Crawlspace is where crime meets culture.
We host interesting conversations about unsolved murders, serial killers, cold cases and paranormal activity. We go beyond entertainment as we dig deeper to tell stories of crimes, vanished people, and injustices. Our guests include survivors, authors, journalists, podcasters, advocates, and educators. 
Starting in 2017 with a deep dive into the disappearance of Brianna Maitland, Crawlspace is hosted by Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna of the Missing Maura Murray and Missing podcasts; and occasionally by Jennifer Amell of Dark Valley. 
Frequent topics include unsolved murders like the JonBenét Ramsey case, wrongful convictions like John Giuca, serial killers like the Zodiac killer, Christopher Wilder, and Jeffrey Dahmer. We speak with experts in criminal psychology like Dr Michelle Ward, survivors like Jane Boroski, and even Satanist Lucien Greaves. But we also have a lighter side where we discuss ghosts and paranormal activity, weird cryptids like Bigfoot and Mothman, and fun mysteries like the dolls found in a Michigan couple’s mailbox.
Authors like Jon Ronson, Rabia Chaudry, and Daniel Stone have joined us and we’ve even spoken with familiar names in comedy and entertainment like Melissa Rivers, Patrick Hinds, and Dave Holmes.
Crawlspace is a Glassbox Media & Crawlspace Media production.

True crime

Welcome to Crawlspace. In this episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna speak about two stories that interest them. First it's the Annabelle doll. What's the story? How close are the movies? What's the deal with the Warren's? Next is the Phantom Barber of Pascagoula. What's the story with this home invader who clipped kids's hair while they slept?

447 // Annabelle Doll & Phantom Barber of Pascagoula

Welcome to Crawlspace. In this episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna have another fascinating discussion with the great Casey Sherman. Casey is an acclaimed journalist and author of more than ten books. He is also a contributing writer for Esquire, Time, The Washington Post, and Boston Magazine. His latest book, A Murder In Hollywood, is the subject of this conversation and in it, Casey digs deep to uncover the dark underbelly of old-time Hollywood. Join us as we navigate through the lives of Lana Turner, her daughter Cheryl and Lana's wildly abusive lover, a mobster named Johnny Stompanato. A Murder In Hollywood goes beneath the glitz and glamour of 1950s Hollywood and reveals the horrors of how stars and starlets were systematically abused and taken advantage of.

Welcome to Crawlspace. In this episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna are joined by good friend and colleague, Bill Thomas. Bill, along with Kristin Dilley, hosts the excellent podcast, Mind Over Murder.

In January of 2024, a man named Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. was named as the prime suspect in connection to the murders of David Knobling and Robin Edwards, Teresa Lynn Howell and Cassandra Hailey and Richard Call. Wilmer Sr. passed away in 2017 but developments continue to emerge every day.
