Judgy Crime Girls

On Easter Sunday, 1937, Robert Irwin, a talented and very disturbed young sculptor, who had been in and out of mental hospitals for years, committed a horrific triple murder in the fashionable Manhattan neighborhood of Beekman Hill. The victims were Veronica Gedeon, a beautiful true crime magazine model, her mother Mary, both strangled to death, and a male boarder, Frank Byrnes, stabbed eleven times with an icepick while he slept. 
These murders led to one of the largest manhunts since the Lindbergh baby kidnapping.

 A father’s love knows no bounds. 
André Bamberski would have moved heaven and earth for his daughter Kalinka....a fact that became clear after her mysterious death.

Kalinka Bamberski suddenly died in July 1982 while living with her mother, Danielle, and stepfather, Dr. Dieter Krombach, at Lake Constance in southern Germany. She was found in her bed one morning with needle marks on her arms and an injury to her genitals.

Krombach said the death was an accident after he injected her with a substance used to combat anaemia and help her tan faster. Bamberski was sure it was not an accident.  He set off on a relentless hunt for the truth that lasted 30 years, cost him his job, his family, and friends.

What would this grief-stricken father do to the man who presumably raped and killed his 14-year-old daughter? 

How far would YOU go to bring your daughter’s killer to justice???

Gallaudet University located in Washington DC, the only four-year school for the deaf and hearing-impaired in the ENTIRE WORLD, has a grim history. Just four weeks into the fall semester in 2000, a murder quietly took place, or so it seemed. The close knit campus was terrified and the language barrier created chaos between police, media, and the community. When students returned to campus after winter break, they were hopeful for a fresh start. But much to their horror, another student was found dead in the same dorm. It was then that they realized the killer had to be one of them.

Thomas Minch, you are amazing. If you ever see this episode, we hold you in the absolute highest regard. Everyone, stay safe out there! Especially our deaf community. Thank you for supporting the show!

Katie Collman was a 10 year old girl that went missing in January of 2005 from Crothersville, IN. Five days later, she was found floating in nearby Lake Cyprus. After months of searching for her killer,  a rather unusual suspect was convicted. Years later, behind prison walls, the monster would be reminded of what he did in a surprising act of revenge. 

*This little girl was loved beyond measure by her family and her community. Our sincerest condolences, as always, to everyone there. Our hearts go out to you, so close to us here in Indiana. I share this story to encourage additional safety measures for children. Rest in peace sweet Katie.*

Today we talk about a Valentine’s Day murder of a mother and her children which is sometimes referred to as the “Lonely Hearts Murders”.

On February 14, 1985 Cassandra Rundle and her two children were found brutally murdered in their Colorado Springs home. In the months before her death, Cassandra had taken out personal ads in a local newspaper. She received more than 80 responses and made contact with several men, but no evidence could be found to link any of them to the murders. Years later Police looked at a former soldier named Philip E. Wilkinson, who is currently  sitting on death row  in North Carolina for the 1992 triple slaying of a mother and her two children. Even though that crime had so many similarities to the Rundle murders, 39 years later the murders of Cassandra and her children remain unsolved.

If you have any information about this case, please contact the Colorado Springs Police Department at (719) 444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
