Searching For Closure

Seven year old Rose Ahnen was walking to school on Friday, March 2nd 1973, when a car stopped and abducted her.  Her body would soon be discovered in a dump in Racine. Since this happened just weeks before Tina's murder, it leaves us to wonder, could her killer have also killed Tina? I give a definitive answer on today's episode.

No one should be remembered for the actions of someone else. One of my main goals since I started this podcast, was to find out more on who Tina was as a person. All we've heard so far is the brutal details of her death. I wanted to shed more light on her life, to show her as a person as opposed to a victim. On today's episode I interview one of Tina's childhood friends. She tells me what kind of person Tina was, what she would do for fun, and how she had such a bright future ahead of her.

Has there been any update on last years tip regarding a possible suspect? Was there any blood or semen found? Has Tina’s clothing ever been located? What type of stabbing instrument do police believe was used? Do police know the identities of the two boys or the man at the ice cream shop? Are police low on funds and that is why there hasn’t been any DNA tests? Why are police withholding so much evidence from the public? On today’s episode, i gave Deputy Chief of Police, Todd Schulz, and I do my best to get some answers.

Just a little bit of a warning, this episode might get a little uncomfortable, especially if you have been a victim of rape or abuse, or if you are close to someone who has been. I'm going to touch upon scenarios that are downright disgusting. I’m going to explore sexual deviancy. Some of the thoughts and images i'm going to describe can be very disturbing. But in order to hunt a killer, you have to think like a killer. It's not going to be pretty, or polite, but i think it must be done.

My first thought, diving into this psychopaths head, is what does it feel like to stab someone? For a normal person, I can't imagine it would feel good to hurt someone. But for a killer, it has to be an enormous release. All that rage and pent up aggression finally explodes out. But what does it feel like to stab someone 61 times? How long does that even take? Just over a minute? Basically One stab per second? Or do you just do a couple fast stabs in the beginning and then slowly poke them after they are dead? How tired would your arm get if you were stabbing someone 61 times in a row? I’d imagine it might cramp up a little bit eventually. Perhaps you’d have to switch hands? I can’t imagine it would be any easier if you used both hands.  Who knows, maybe it's way easier to stab someone then i thought?

For my first case file, I do a test to see how easy it is to stab someone 61 times, and how long it would actually take. Also, I do a test to see how easy it is to pick up and carry someone Tina's size, completely limp and dead weight.

Welcome back, to the Searching for Closure Podcast.

It's been over 9 months since I last released an episode, so forgive me if I'm a little bit rusty. On this episode, I examine two killers who were active near the time of Tina's murder. I investigate Patrick Arrowood, a man convicted of beating and drowning a woman in racine in 1979 and James Multaler, better known as the South Side Killer. He was convicted of murdering 4 women in the Racine and Milwaukee area between 1974 and 1976. Also, I give an update on the future of the podcast. Am I returning for good? Or is this farewell? You'll have to listen to find out.

Off the top of your head, what's your worst memory from 9 years ago? Chances are, unless it was something catastrophic, you probably don't remember anything of importance. If you try hard enough, I'm sure you'll remember something. But chances are, you've most likely forgotten the bad things that happened almost a decade ago.  

But what if you couldn't forget? What if every morning when you woke up, you were reminded of something terrible that happened 9 years ago.  

It's been 9 years since 15 year old Kayla Berg went missing. That's 3,285 days. 180 birthday candles that never got to be blown out. An infinite number of unanswered questions. On August 11th, the 9 year anniversary of kayla's disappearance, Hope and her friend Christine held a night of remembrance at the local park in antigo.  

I decided I'd make the 4 hour drive, introduce myself in person, and show my support.

Originally I had planned on releasing an episode exposing Arnie Anderson as a parasite, but after giving it a lot of thought and talking to a few listeners, I've decided that he's not worth the time or attention. I have rather an incredible amount of information on him, and if need be I can revisit it in the future.

So instead of giving a predator his 15 minutes of fame, I have an update on Tina Davidson. A few weeks ago, A woman, who I will not name, messaged me on Facebook, asking me to call her. She said she could help clear up some details on Times case.

What she told me blew me away. After all the investigating I did, a huge tip came out of nowhere. Could the person she told me about be Tina’s killer?

There are a multitude of theories out there. While theories can be beneficial, helping explore avenues not yet thought of, it can also hinder Investigations by creating tunnel and by muddying the water. Kayla's disappearance is one of those mysteries that, once you begin examining it, is the same as chasing a white rabbit down a hole.  

It’s exceedingly frustrating to find all of the information available just doesn’t add up. The more questions you try to answer, the more questions you have. Factor in all the rumors, speculation and circumstantial evidence, and it's a mystery wrapped in a mystery.  

In today's episode I'll be discussing some rumors and theories that have hindered this Investigation from moving forward. I also speak to Hope's good friend, Christine, about a confusing online rumor that is swirling around and an online parasite who seems to be working hard to make things as confusing as possible.

“My daughter was extremely afraid of the dark.  She had nightmares about people taking her and doing bad things to her.  So for her to get out at a vacant house that is completely dark with no one around, that’s not my Kayla.”

That was a quote by Hope, that really stood out to me. It leads me to question, why would a stoned, 15 year old girl, want to be dropped off at an abandoned house in the dark?

On today's episode I detail the police Investigation following Kayla's disapperance, along with offering a few words of caution on which Missing Persons Facebook groups to join.

There are a lot of scam groups out there run by egotistical psychopaths who don't want to help, they just want fame or money.

Kevin claims he dropped Kayla off at a house 35 miles away in Wausau, WI at 10:30pm that night. No one has heard from Kayla or seen her ever since. It's coming up on the 9 year anniversary of Kayla's disappearance, and her friends and family would like answers.

Hopefully this podcast can bring them closure.
