Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries: Backroads. In tonight's episode we dive into Ohio's contributions to the Manhattan Project and the Cold War. This is part 1 of a 2 part episode.

In the heart of World War II, a handful of scientists and engineers from Ohio played a pivotal role in one of the most secretive and transformative projects in history—the development of the atomic bomb. In this gripping podcast, we dive deep into Ohio's critical contributions to the Manhattan Project and the Cold War, uncovering the untold stories of the men and women who helped shape the course of history.

Tonight we'll explore Ohio's role in the scientific breakthroughs, the labor force behind the scenes, and the state's strategic importance in the race for atomic power.

1994 would prove to be an awful year for the community of people surrounding Berlin Lake, Ohio. In the span of a year, the bodies of 4 people would be discovered in the woods off of Berlin Lake on a lonely, isolated Fewtown Road. The murders remain unsolved to this day. Lisa Watters, Andy Hussey, Kathryn Menendez and Sarah Boehm would all wind up here, their bodies discovered within a short distance from each other. While police had many leads, no suspects were charged despite the best efforts of the local police, sheriff and the FBI.

Join us as we discuss this mysterious case that touched the lives of an entire community and still baffles experts to this day.

In 1986, Columbus police responded to a horribly mutilated body being found in a dumpster near the Ohio State University campus. It turned out to be David Hadaway, a local 19-year-old All-American boy next door with no history of trouble. To this day, police have not been able to find out a motive, a crime scene, or even a suspect.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries: Backroads. In Flip Side. The Story of Billy Milligan, we dive deep into the incredible and unsettling story of Billy Milligan — a man whose life became a landmark case in the study of dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder). Born in 1955, Milligan's case captured the world's attention when he was arrested for a series of violent crimes in the 1970s, only to later reveal that he had 24 distinct personalities, each with their own memories, behaviors, and identities.

In this story, we unravel the complexity of Billy's life and mind. From his traumatic childhood to his time spent in psychiatric hospitals, this episode examines the intersection of mental illness, criminal justice, and the human psyche. Was Billy Milligan a victim, a criminal, or both? And what does his story tell us about the limits of the law and the understanding of mental health?

Join us as we explore the fascinating, often haunting, story of Billy Milligan — a man with many faces, but who, in the end, may have only been searching for one true identity.

Summit County Sheriff's deputy Fred Hale became a millionaire after the death of his parents. His dad had made a small fortune as the inventor of the balloon tire. Hale was a minor local celebrity as the "millionaire deputy," and became well known to businessmen with whom he invested, many ladies he had relationships with (including two ex-wives), and lots of folks in the underworld after he later sought to become a private detective. So when he was murdered in 1974, there was no end to the list of suspects.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries: Backroads. Join us tonight for a dive into early spiritualism in Ohio as we discuss the Koon's family spirit room. Family patriarch Jonathan Koons built a cabin on their rural land in Athens County, Ohio and dubbed it their "spirit room". Visitors came from all over the nation to have an otherworldly experience. As the crowds would gather, the lights would darken and the spirits would begin. Soon musical instruments would begin to play seemingly on their own, luminous hands would fly around the room and the show would begin. What happens next? Tune in and find out!
