Hello, campers! Get ready for this week's episode to ring in the new year! We hope everyone had a fun and safe start to 2025. We can’t wait to see what’s in store!
This week takes us back almost a century to a case from Long Island, New York. In 1935, Ada Appelgate passed away from a mysterious illness after suffering from heart and health issues for years. The 38-year-old wife and mother were almost laid to rest until some anonymous information made its way to police. What ensued after the inquiry into her death is unexpected.

Join us for this week's episode on one of Jess’s favorite categories to research -old-timey crime.
