  • Episode 74; Collaboration with Murder at Bedtime With Lyndon

    Episode 74 is a wild ride, y'all!

    This week, Beth teamed up with Lyndon from "Murder at Bedtime with Lyndon" and the "Exiled Yellowbelly", and this episode is wild!

    The trans-Atlantic recording was less than stellar, so the sound quality leaves something to be desired, but I hope you will try to bear with us because the episode is worth it!

    Lyndon brilliantly covers the 2016 case of the so-called Twilight Killers, two 14-year-olds in the UK who committed two horrific murders and then cuddled on the couch to watch movies.

    Beth follows with Survivor Florence Dutro Richardson Brown, who married too quickly after her husband died, and the new husband turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Florence was strong, smart, and successful in her own right. And her now-ex went away to San Quentin for a looooong time.

    Thank you for stopping by at the BnB on this fantastic Friday. Lyndon and I have just run down the street to the Pub, so join us there, and we'll all come back to the BnB later for spiked ice cream!

    Cheers, everyone!

  • Episode 73; Ruth Fern Miller Coffey

    Welcome back, everybody, it's finally time to release Episode 73!

    We've had a bit of a hiatus, and things are a little bit different around the BnB this week. Beth is solo, except, as you'll find at the very end, in the bloopers.

    This week's episode covers a sad case I'm confident you've never heard before unless you're from the Schuylkill, PA area. Ruth Miller Coffey was in a loving, happy marriage with William Coffey, III. They truly adored one another, and Ruth supported Bill in every way possible.

    She was one of the few people who stood by him during his seizures that were started after a head injury during the Vietnam War. And although everyone could see Bill's love for Ruth, his depression over the limitation on his life drove him to a point of intense darkness and violence.

    Please hear this story with an open mind, because although what happened was inexcusable and horrific, it's also true that Bill was a victim of factors beyond his control.

    Thank you for joining Beth in her solo journey today to remember and memorialize the Coffeys.

    Have a glass of wine, and let's talk about Ruth and Bill.

  • Episode 72; Timothy Michael Molnar and Survivor Laura Palumbo

    We made it, y'all! It's Friday! And episode 72 has something to pique the curiosity of just about everyone.

    Bailey takes us on a whirlwind trip up Interstate-75 starting in Daytona Beach, FL, through Atlanta, GA, and winding up in the woods of Wisconsin in an unsolved, mysterious disappearance. Timothy Michael Molnar was the kind of young man who had everything going for him, and his life seemed to be moving in a positive direction. But one day, he just vanished, apparently of his own volition, and later ended up in Wisconsin, under mysterious circumstances, and leaving many, many questions.

    Beth follows up with a survivor story that goes in a lot of directions to illustrate how some bad choices can take a nice, responsible person and turn them into a really bad one. Laura Palumbo thought she had a good guy in former Iowa State defensive All-Big-8 football player Lester Williams, but as she decided not to let his increasing chaos be the center of her life, he jumped right into the deep end and tried to take her with him. This story is one of lost potential, lost love, and an incredibly strong woman who took her experience and decided to use it to help other people who needed her.

    We can't thank you enough for being here with us again this week! You are the best, and we love you! See you next time here at the BnB!

  • Episode 71; Amy Lynn Boyer and Ellen Halbert

    Happy Friday, Crime Family! If your week has been anywhere near as hectic as ours, we will happily be your excuse to relax and pop open a cold one. In fact, we strongly encourage it! (You might need it after this one...)

    First up this week is Beth; who will tell you a tragic story of obsession gone wrong, Although the circumstance of what happened to Amy Lynn Boyer was considered a first in the internet era, the underlying root of her story is unfortunately all-too-familiar.

    Next, Bailey brings us the incredible survivor of a brutal home invasion; Ellen Halbert. This one will send a shiver down your spine, and is admittedly graphic, but the strength that Ellen showed in the aftermath of her attack will certainly warm you back up.

    We've already loaded up the coolers with an assortment of options; so, all that's left to do is choose your favorite drink and sit back.

  • Episode 70; The Redpath Murder Mansion and Justice for Clara Lauduskie Slade Blackwell

    Friday is upon us again, which means that it's time for another campfire at the BnB. In (yet another) strange coincidence, we both brought stories that took place during the beginning of the 20th century.

    This week, Bailey tells the head-scratching tale of the Redpath Family, and the secrets that were kept in what is now referred to as The Redpath Murder Mansion in Montreal. The true events of one evening, that the surviving family members continued to refer to as "the accident", may never be known.

    Beth's story brings us a survivor, who isn't our normal survivor....in fact, he's the bad guy. But the story is about so much more than that, and we choose to celebrate the survivor of HIS abuse, who was able to escape because of social change; and one damn good little brother.

    Bring some marshmallows and a pointy stick; we'll provide the spiked hot chocolate.

  • Episode 69; Benjamin Labaran Hermansen and Richard Morton

    Welcome back to episode 68+1, Crime Family (we are a family-owned business, after all)!

    Today Bailey decided to celebrate Puss' surprise heritage (a Norwegian Forest Cat), by crushing our souls with the story of Benjamin Labaran Hermansen. Benjamin was a bi-racial teen living in Norway, who was raised to advocate for himself, and anyone else who needed a voice. This story will anger you, but also give you hope for future generations.

    Beth takes us to Northern Mississippi with Richard Morton, whose wife was convicted in a scheme to have him murdered. Richard survived, and decided for himself what the rest of his life would look like.

    So buckle up, Crime Fam, and join us in saluting Puss' heritage; we normally ask you to grab a beverage, but just for today...maybe consider a tuna.

  • Episode 68; Beverly Carter and Jayde Logan

    Hi, Crime Fam, and welcome back to week 68!

    This week Bailey takes us to Arkansas for the maddening murder of Beverly Carter, a Realtor who was just trying to satisfy some new clients who wanted one of her listings. Beverly's killers claimed they never meant to hurt her, but when you hear the story, you probably won't believe that any more than we do.

    Her family set up a foundation in Beverly's name to help Realtors safer when showing houses. To access educational materials related to safety and situational security for Realtors and other people who make 'house calls', please visit https://beverlycarterfoundation.org/

    Beth tells the story of Jayde Logan of Newport, South Wales. In 2020, Jayde was an exceptional young woman, trying to live her best life, when serendipity put her in the crosshairs of an unhinged, jealous woman. This person attacked Jayde with a hammer in the street, in front of many people, leaving her with scars, headaches, and understandable mental trauma.

    But Jayde lived, healed, has returned to living her life, and after the head injuries she received, that's a wonder in and of itself.

    Thank you for joining us today, we are so glad you're here!

  • Episode 67; Leigh Bell and Survivor Kimberly Morton

    This week's Episode 67 explores two stories that involve betrayals, although they're not the type of betrayals that usually appear in this podcast.

    Beth takes us to Americus, Georgia, where the murder of Margaret Leigh Bell is unlikely to ever be solved because so many mistakes were made when the case was still warm.

    Leigh's case was a suggestion from my friend Brian, and I hope that he and others who remember Leigh's story are satisfied that we did right by her. Because she has never had justice, and her family has suffered since 1979, when the amazing 15 year old was brutally taken from them.

    Bailey follows up with the survival story of a woman who was treated like family by her neighbors, but some families are not what they appear, and some people are very good at hiding their evil. Kimberly Morton was starting her life and had so many exciting new things happening, and she couldn't wait to share it with her closest friends.

    But one of them had a secret, and when he finally let it out, he found out that Kimberly was stronger than he expected. She took her experience and set out to make a difference, and that's exactly what she has done.

    So when we recorded this, Beth had pinkeye, and because of her blurry vision, she was having a really hard time reading what she had typed...leading to great confusion for Bailey. But no worries, Bailey is a good little editor and made it comprehensible.

    Thank you all so much for being here with us at the BnB this week, and please join us again next week for Episode 68! Meow!

  • Episode 66; Bob Mars and Survivor Holden White

    Welcome, Crime Family, we're glad you're here!

    This week has two tough narratives, but as always, we will leave you with a positive outcome for our survivor!

    Beth starts us off with a case that hit Benton County, Washington like a bomb in 2004. King Robert Mars II, who was known by all as Bob Mars, was a beloved teacher, coach, volunteer, mentor, son, brother, husband, and father.

    He would do anything to help or guide a kid in the right direction, but it was this generosity of spirit that put him in harm's way. He tried to be helpful, and was killed by two teenaged boys who took advantage of his kindness but were really just looking to do some damage.

    Bailey introduces us to Holden White, an 18-year-old Lafayette, Louisiana man who was just looking to start his adult life and meet someone. A date he had talked to on Grindr for a month turned out to be a predator, and Holden barely survived their first meeting,

    Even as he healed in the hospital, he was marginalized by the law enforcement officers who were supposed to be investigating his case. Thankfully, he demanded change, and got it.

    We can't thank you enough for your support and for listening. You all are truly the best! Love you, talk to you next week!
