Hey She Sleuths fam! Today we shake things up a bit. Unfortunately, the coronavirus has disrupted our recording schedule, so we have to record separately for a bit. However, that also means you'll be getting a new episode every week!

In this episode, Kristin discussed her case. In the 1990's, black women were being strangled to death in the Charlotte, NC area. It took some time for police to put things together and realize that a serial killer was at work - a man named Henry Louis Wallace. Listen to this ep for all the details. Then listen to next week's ep for Amy's story.

In this ep, we’re back with two cases that will make you feel extra sleuthy…because they’re both unsolved! That’s right. Today we’re covering cold cases. 

You ever hear of the Crewe murders in 1970? Us either until Kristin told us all about it. Jeanette and Harvey Crewe were married with a little girl named Rochelle. Their happy family life didn’t last long enough because the couple were murdered and the case is unsolved to this day. Of course we have a theory or two. 

This week Amy talks about the unsolved murder of Dorothy Jane Scott, a single mother with a loving family and supportive friends, but when a stalker starts following her every move, calling her with threats, and leaving dead flowers for gifts, Dorothy and her family become alarmed. Find out the details surrounding this cold case by listening to this episode!

In this ep, Kristin’s goes way back to the 1920’s where she tackles the case of infamous bootlegger turned murderer- George Remus. George was a guy who was both and lawyer and a pharmacist who used both skills to find a loophole in the Volstead Act. He ended up running one of the biggest bootlegging operations in the country. However, George had a weakness for his wife, Imogene, who he gave control over his finances and business operations. This backfired when George got arrested and Imogene decided to take George to the cleaners. As a result, George was mad… more than mad and this lead to a crime of passion. Learn more in this ep!

As for Amy, she covers a way more modern crime in this episode as she discusses a bizarre love triangle that began in a chatroom and ended in blood. When 46 year old Thomas Montgomery entered into a chatroom and met an 18 year old girl, he decided to go back in time and pretend to be an 18 year old as well. Things got intense, over a year went by, and Thomas’ wife found all about it and clued in his little e-girl on who he actually was. She then turns to comfort in Thomas’ co-worker, Brian, but goes back and forth with these men through emails and messages, until one day Thomas snaps. This story has all kinds of catfish in the chatrooms! Tune in and find out who is actually who!

In this week's episode, we cover crimes committed by husbands. First up this week Amy talks about the marriage and the murder involving Rod Covlin, a deadbeat, and Shele Danishefsky, a millionaire. They got married within weeks of meeting each other and there was very little marital bliss happening in their home. Rod was a money hungry womanizer, and Shele was a hard working mother, but she could only put up with so much, so when she decided it was time to separate and file for divorce, Rod was having none of it. Her death was quickly ruled an accident, but a decade later he found himself in the courts trying to prove his innocence. Listen in this week, because it gets all kinds of weird. Kristin's case is about a modern day blue beard named Lowell "Ed" Amos who murdered 3 wives and his own mother. Did he face the consequences? Find out in today's ep!

In this intense episode, Kristin & Amy talk about true crime cases involving children who murder. First up, Kristin talks about the case of Canada's most notorious child serial killer- Peter Woodcock. This kid murdered children and eventually adults, even while incarcerated! Then Amy talks about the case of Mary Bell, an 11 year old budding serial killer who murdered two small boys in the town of Newcastle on Tyne, England. She was born into a world that did not want her and prostituted to her mother’s clients for most of her childhood. Mary acted out aggressively and snuffed out two lives in the process. She would go off to detention centers and women’s prison and was in a way reformed. Hear her story and the stories of the two boys she murdered, Martin Brown and Brian Howe, on episode 13 on the She Sleuths – A True Crime Podcast!

In today's episode, we explore women who kill, so hold onto your stretchy pants. Things are about to get crazy!

First up is Kristin's case: In the early 1900’s, Louisiana and Texas was plagued by ax murders that swept across the states. Initially, a man named Raymond Barnabet was arrested for the murders, but while he was in jail more murders occurred. Police soon were hot on the trail of his 19-year-old daughter Clementine Barnabet. Was she working alone? Did she have accomplices? Clementine was sentenced to life in prison for the murders, but was eventually let go. The rest of her life was a mystery and so many questions still remain regarding the ax murders that wiped out entire African American families in the south at that time. 

This week Amy dives into the case involving, then, 18 year old, Christa Pike, who was furious over the possibility that someone else might be interested in her boyfriend. Jealous and feeling mean, Christa invites this unsuspecting girl to join them to smoke some pot and make amends, except that was the last thing Christa was wanting to do. Instead she beat this helpless woman, Colleen Slemmer, to death, leaving her unrecognizable.
