True Crime BnB

Crime Family!!!! Can you believe this week is our Podversary!?? We have released every week over the past year, and we're thrilled to still be here!

This week Bailey brings us a rough story of a lovely, vibrant life cut short in a senseless crime. Roxanne Wood just happened to live near a guy who was paroled only four months before he snuck into her home and attacked her. It took decades to clear her husband, and to finally find the guilty man.

And Beth is following up with a story about the MOST BADASS woman! Get ready for multiple iterations of the phrase, "NOT TODAY, MOTHERF#$%ER!!:" and even if you're offended by that language, you're going to LOVE this survivor!!! She not only saved herself; she is determined to make running, and life in general, more survivable for women who don't want to have a bodyguard or chaperone. Kelly Herron, our heroine, is against letting little misbehaviors pass, because they only lead to bigger misbehaviors in the future. Her website is www.nottodaymf.com and this it definitely worth a visit!! If you want to purchase a 'Not Today MotherF&cker' t-shirt, you can find them at that website or on Amazon.com under the search term "Not Today NTMF".

We love you, we appreciate you, and we hope you'll stick with us through year two. Puuuuurrrrrrrrrr to you all!!

Dear Crime Family: It's BnB Friday!! And today is another one where we can't wait to tell you our customary two stories, to first touch your heart and then bring you survivors to be proud of and positive about.

Bailey found a case that you've surely never heard of: This is the story of a family in the 1980's, who were traveling from California to Massachusetts, and only a fraction of the way home, the 19 year old son disappeared in Wyoming. What people abroad don't always understand is how vast the United States is. And somewhere in the nearly 3,000 mile drive from Huntington Beach, CA to Massachusetts, David Vernon Lovely simply disappeared, and no one would help his family look for him.

And Beth is so excited to tell you about the story of two young, badass warriors from California who were individually victimized by a guy who literally had nothing left to lose. But these young women made the decision that the two of them, their sisterhood, was enough. They chose to get each other through their trauma. This case is an illustration of why caring for others is how we survive as individuals.

At the start of this episode, we played the trailer for In the Nick of Crime. The cohostesses, Michelle and Courtney, are snarky, funny, kind-hearted, and are 100% in the corner of all victims. So we love them, and we think you will, too. Please check out In the Nick of Crime Podcast, wherever you listen to podcasts.

We are so grateful that you have chosen to listen to us, and we thank you. Please grab a glass on your way in, and let's get to telling some stories about true crime. Love you guys!!

Hello, welcome back to the BnB! Do you feel it? Spring is in the air!! Or maybe we are just thinking of camping because this episode seems to be RV-centered.

Beth starts with the story of the completely inexplicable murders of Cecil and Ruth Bybee, who were seasoned travelers. But the one time they broke their routine, they crossed paths with a man who was having some kind of cold feet, marriage-avoidance crisis. Seriously--this story is so unexplainable that it begs theorization.

Then Bailey has a home invasion case where the family did not want to be identified, but you will still feel like you know them. This family in Penhold, Alberta, Canada had three encounters with a seemingly-confused home invader within two days--and lived to tell the tale. They are still healing, but they did what they needed to, to survive.

At the beginning of this episode, you heard the trailer of Live, Laugh, Murder. Carmen and Joanna are not only creating a fantastic and entertaining podcast that is 'true crime, sometimes,' but they are genuinely sweet and adorable women that we just love, and we know you will, too. Please check them out and subscribe. You won't be disappointed!!

Crime family, this episode is SOMETHIN' ELSE, so pick a comfy chair, grab a glass of your favorite spirits, and let's talk about true crime. As ever, we love you and thank you for listening.

Crime Family, this episode is crazy!!!We're so excited to share this with you!

First, your favorite Bad Guy, Bailey, is bringing you an out-of-character story about an 8-year-old who was caught in the middle of over a decade of ridiculous, stalkerish drama that his parents tried to, but were unable to, extricate themselves from. This is the story of the murder of Cremer Young in mid-1960's Shaker Heights, Ohio.

But trust us--Beth's story is going to leave you on the right note! Patricia Wenskunas spent her whole life being victimized by one person after another, and knew she had to find a way to end the cycle. And when the person who was supposed to be helping her heal turned out to be a long-game predator who was taking advantage of her vulnerability, she had to rise up and save herself. But she didn't stop there. She has made all the difference to thousands--and don't call them victims: they are SURVIVORS.

Patricia's crime survivors' advocacy organization is: https://www.crimesurvivors.org and her public speaking interface is https://patriciawenskunas.com/

This story is worth waiting for!

Also, at the beginning of the episode, we played the trailer for our friends, pod-buddies, and Beanie Winners M3: Murder, Mystery Mayhem. Please go give them a listen. We love Sam and Paige, and we think you will, too!

Thank you for joining us and listening today. If you like what we're doing, please share us with someone who may also be interested in our content!

We appreciate your giving us this part of an hour, and we hope you'll come back next week for episode 53! We'll try to make sure there's a lint roller on the front counter before you get here. Purrrrrrrr!

Welcome back to everyone! Happy New Year!

The first regular episode of 2023 brings us two stories, one from 1832 Philadelphia and the other from 2021 Atlanta.

Duffy's Cut is known for being the location of the unnatural and mysterious deaths of 57 Irish laborers, and Bailey will explain the lore as well as the newly-revealed truths that paint a clearer picture of what happened in Malvern, 30 miles west of Philadelphia.

Beth has a survivor story from Atlanta, with the story of Valerie Kasper. Valerie was a pregnant mother of a 3 year old, and one day while walking with her son, she was randomly attacked and stabbed by a stranger. This story is about the healing and resilience of a family built from love, and the strength with which they face their future challenges together.

In this episode we share the trailer for Crime Scenes and Cupcakes, and hope you will go and check out her podcast as well as Kocktail Kupcakes--MaryAnne has created the most beautiful cupcake following the theme of our podcast!

Thank you for joining us today, and we raise our glass with all of you for a wonderful 2023!

Cheers, Crime Family!

Welcome to the New Year, Crime Family! Today's Just One B is (admittedly) a bummer with a positive spin, as told by Bailey.

Jamie Grunwald and Daniel Mulligan; both survivors of two very different and random attacks in Green Bay, Wisconsin, only a few weeks apart. Join us as we discuss what happened, why it happened, and how they both managed to survive.

Although this is a survival story, we do warn you that it's not a light-hearted or easy one to hear.

So grab a glass of your favorite beverage, have a snuggly pet close by, and let's dive in.

We're so happy to have you here with us for our first bonus episode of 2023, and we will be back for our full-length episode on Friday, as always!

Can you believe it?? This is our fiftieth episode, and we thank you, dear Crime Family, for supporting us all these months, and for joining us today!

This week starts with Bailey telling the story of Nancy Anderson, who wanted to see more of the world, so she left Bay City, Michigan for a new life in Hawaii. She was making friends, had a job, and was excited about her future until she was attacked in her apartment by a killer, whose identity was not known until this year. That's right, this is another occurrence of DNA bringing a very old, very cold case back to justice.

Then Beth doesn't have a survivor story. That's right. Sorry, but she found out that a lot of text/social media scammers are actually not doing it out of their own greedy impulses. So after looking more into this, she covers two cases. One is a man who was taken for over $1M in a texting crypto-scam, and the other story is a man who was promised a good job with good pay, but was ultimately kidnapped and trafficked as a texting crypto-scammer. Learn why not all people who are 'butchering pigs', as the scam bosses call it, are necessarily the real problem.

And, in this episode we are announcing the winner of the True Crime BnBeanie! Listen to the end for this announcement as well as our well wishes for a happy and fortuitous 2023!

We love you, be happy, be safe, and may your world be peaceful in the new year!

Hello, dear Crime Family, and thank you all for being here for Episode 49!

This week Beth is talking about the case that was known in the media as "The Kayak Killer," but we're not so certain it's that cut-and-dried. Angelika Graswald became infamous after her fiance Vince Viafore drowned on a couple's kayaking trip out to the ruins on Bannerman's Island in the Hudson River. The headlines focused on the prurient points of this case--maybe it's less black-and-white than it was made out to be.

Bailey has an amazing story of survival against all the odds, where Susan and Mike Gonzalez not only lived to tell, but also took down a team of vicious home invaders that had plagued a city in Florida for way too long. You won't want to miss this story.

This week, we are sharing the promo for our lovely friend Sam from Creme de la Crime Podcast. She covers cases that are unsolved and cases that need to have more light shined upon them so the families can get answers. Sam is wonderful, diligent, and puts her whole heart into the cases she covers; please listen and subscribe.

Considering this is a holiday weekend, we hope you are well, we hope you are happy, and we hope you are safe. We love you, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it.

Have a cup of cheer, on us.

Y'all! Episode 48 is in your earholes! Thank you for popping back in for today's stories, where Bailey is first with the completely pointless murder of Tina Marcotte. Tina deserved so much better than her killer did by her. He was a useless loser with a stupid lie of an alibi, and there was no way he was ever going to get away with it. But you don't want to miss how he solved THAT problem. It's gross, but in this situation, he deserved what he got.

And then Beth has a different kind of survivor story. The murder attempt turned into a race against time to save the victim, who lost 2/3 of herself. Today's survivor is 600 years old, has seen more history than most of us combined, and the reason this victim was attacked was for the most pathetic of reasons. Listen to how a guy confessed at his methadone clinic to being the person who nearly killed the Austin Treaty Oak, which has been part of Texas history since before there was a USA. There's more to this story than you might think.

Thank you for joining us today. You know how much you mean to us, and we hope you are getting your entries in for the True Crime BnBeanie Giveaway on December 28, which will be announced in our December 30th Episode 50! We're so excited to reach this milestone, and we could not have gotten here without you.

Check out Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter for the ways to enter. See below for our profile tags.

Love all of you, and we'll see you next week!

Hi, Crime Family, thank you for joining us for this BONUS Episode that shares with you the devastating story of what happened to Jesse Downs.

Jesse was just a sweet guy, bothering no one, and walking down the street in Haverhill, Massachusetts on a warm Friday afternoon. Out of nowhere, he was viciously attacked by total strangers who evilly wanted nothing more than to hurt someone. Jesse was left with critical injuries, some of which he will be dealing with for the rest of his life.

Please hear Jesse's story, and direct some good vibes his way.

And maybe pay some kindness forward into the world today.

Love you guys; we'll be back on Friday!
