It is claimed that in October of 1966 the innocence of Tallahassee, FL was gone (sorry Tallahassee). Prior to the unsolved murders of the Sims Family's parents and  12 year old daughter, Tallahassee was a quaint town where everyone trusted everyone and no one locked their doors. After the horrific crime scene was found by one of the older Sims daughters, people in town started looking at each other differently and anyone could be a suspect... as this triple homicide is still unsolved today.

True crime

Kendrick Johnson attended his first three periods of high school in Valdosta, GA on January 10, 2013. However, he would not make it through that day alive, yet he never left the grounds of his high school. He was found almost 24 hours later, in one of the gyms. His body was upside down in a rolled up wrestling mat that was standing up vertically. After a decade of investigation, 2 exhumations, 3 autopsies and the case being closed and then reopened again, Kendrick's cause of death has still been ruled accidental. Kendrick's family continues to fight for the truth and for someone to be held responsible for the death of their son because the circumstances around his death are far too suspicious and the investigation has had way too many inconsistencies to be ignored. A young man went to school and was not safe, period. He went to school and died. This is never ok under any circumstances, accident or no accident. Join us as we discuss the tragic death of a young man taken from this earth way too soon and please watch the documentary that Molly references - Finding Kendrick Johnson by Jason Pollock.Other References:Papa Doug's Album!https://augustwolf.hearnow.com/?fbclid=IwAR3CB5aJIgREQcxzZP8LPFZ9rEWKqWkR82t1dojcrmC8cnJS6epaGXHR6HU

The Death of Kendrick Johnson

On September 6, 1949, in just 12 minutes, 13 lives were lost to a mass shooter on River Road in Camden, NJ. Unlike today, mass shootings were not a regular event that was normalized on the news. In a post World War II era, automatic guns were relatively new and held mostly for military use, not often seen in public. However, on this day, the mundane activities of a Tuesday morning were interrupted by gun fire as a World War II veteran walked down the street that he lived on and fired upon his own neighbors' homes and businesses. This case has been coined as America's first mass shooting, and the shooter, as the first "lone wolf"type shooter.These terms may be common today, but this type of event was unprecendented at the time. However it will go to show that more than 70 years later, our country has not made much progress in our prevention of these types of such occurrences and the devastation that it brings to not only the victims, but families of the victims, the survivors and the communities at large.

Part 2 will take a look into the happenings on the Gunness Farm after the suspicious death of Belle's second husband Peter. Belle then successfully hired farm hands to help on her farm through a newspaper ad. Unfortunately for Belle, these hired farmhands keep suspiciously up and leaving without notice. Instead of help wanted ads, she turned to matrimonial ads for a more permanent fix. However dozens of ad respondents made plans to head to La Porte, Indiana to meet a wealthy widow and are never seen or heard from again. It is not until 1908, when a fire burns the Gunness familly farm home down to just remaining brick walls that Belle's secrets are unearthed.References & Resources:Hell's Princess by Harold Schechterhttps://www.legendsofamerica.com/belle-gunness/https://youtu.be/UDPaWql4S9Qhttps://www.biography.com/crime-figure/belle-gunnesshttps://laportecountyhistory.org/exhibits/belle-gunness/
