True Crime BnB

Happy to see you, Crime Family, and we have some stories, a podcast to share, and some giveaway news in this episode!

Bailey is first with her telling of the tragic story of three college friends just having a relaxing night together at one of their homes, which ends in not one of their deaths, but two. Marianne Shockley was killed in her friend Clark Heindel's hot tub, and when he found out what had happened, he couldn't live with the tragedy of it.

Beth follows behind with the story of Wanda Palmer, who was attacked in her home in 2020 and spent the next two years deep in a coma. While she was unconscious, her case went pretty close to cold, as there wasn't enough evidence to charge anyone in the crime. But Wanda wasn't down for the count. You'll want to hear her survival story and how she finally solved the mystery of what happened to her.

Also--don't forget about Johnathan, the WORLD'S OLDEST LIVING LAND ANIMAL! Johnathan, a Seychelles Giant Tortoise, is celebrating his birthday this year, and you will not believe how old he is!

After you finish listening to this episode, please go check out our sweet friend Patrick at Not Adding Up Podcast. Patrick creates a no-drama, all respect for victims, and no wild theories podcast. He looks at cases that simply don't add up based on the evidence, and he asks excellent questions and points out what he sees as the weak points in the investigation. After you check him out, please subscribe so you can get caught up on his episodes.

AND, last but not least, we are having a Fiftieth Episode Giveaway! In our December 30th, Episode 50, we are giving away a True Crime BnBeanie through a random drawing to select a winner. Listen to next week's episode or check us out on Instagram in the coming week, to find out how to enter!

Not gonna lie, Crime Family, Episode 46 caught us a little bit by surprise. We both independently came up with 'hometown' stories and didn't plan it that way. So, we welcome you on our trips down memory lane, as we have seen too much heaviness in the news lately and just needed to turn down the heat on current events.

For a record-setting third episode in a row, Beth is back as the bad guy. This week she covers a murder that took place in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio in 1921. Parma Township, the predecessor to the City of Parma, was a rural farming community that had a tiny, one-room schoolhouse called the Parma Central School. In February, 1921, its two teachers were brutally bludgeoned to death on a rural road on the way to catch the streetcar home. Hear the details of the case, the theories, and the suspects. Also, we'll discuss the well-intentioned but mindless destruction of the crime scene by local searchers, which is likely why this haunting case remains unsolved 101 years later.

Bailey also takes us back to her hometown in the northeast suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. In 2016, a beloved local restaurant was targeted in a terroristic machete attack that injured four people, several critically. The aftermath of this attack nearly wiped out the restaurant, but Bailey will fill you in on how the victims are doing six years later. She'll also tell how the Owner of the Nazareth Restaurant has fared through the years, and how his positive outlook is part of his local appeal.

When you finish this episode, please go check out Deb and Beth (or Shelby) at Dying to be Found, whose trailer you hear at the beginning. We are podcaster buddies with Deb and we were honored to be invited to join her in her Episode 41 a couple of weeks ago. So please give Dying to be Found a listen, and subscribe so you won't miss any of their episodes.

We are feeling a little bit nostalgic after this episode, so we are going to have a glass of wine in front of the fire, give our fluffy black cat extra treats, and you are, as always, welcome to join us. Thank you for stopping by, we're glad you're here!

Hello, and thank you for stopping back in for Week 45! We are sharing two brutal and maddening crimes against two amazing men this week, so get set to hear their stories.

Beth is first with the 8th Installment of Architect Mayhem, and in this case the Architect was Allentown, PA's David Michael Bolasky. David was an accomplished Architect and all-around great human who was brutally killed in 1995 by a bunch of incompetent fools. The circumstances of his murder are especially sickening because there was no way the perpetrators could have really thought they had any chance to get away with it. They destroyed an amazing person for absolutely nothing.

Bailey, as she does, will take us through a truly horrific crime against a South African triathlete. Mhlengi Gwala was taking life one day at a time and doing what he could to find health and happiness for himself and his two daughters. This crime was so cruel and monstrous that it's a miracle he survived and a credit to his inner strength that he came back from it stronger than before. Mhlengi is a billboard for the human spirit.

These are both rough stories, but you'll leave feeling good about the capacity of a person to embrace life on his own terms and make the most of every minute he has.

Have a seat by the fireplace, we'll be right in with spiked cocoa and don't worry. You're safe in here with us, Crime Family.

When you finish this episode, why not go check out True Crime in Academia Podcast with Mary DiPipi, and Ivory Tower Boiler Room. Their trailer can be heard at the beginning of this episode. Mary is a great interviewer, and we were fortunate to have been on her show a few weeks ago--please check it out! Also, she covers true crime committed by, or towards, academics. It's a great listen! Listen and subscribe!

Howdy, Crime Family, welcome back to bonus third-Tuesday! Today is a Just One B with Beth telling the story of a senseless killing in Medford, Oregon.

This is the story of Fern Beers Hile, who was sleeping soundly in her bed when two complete jackasses decided to rob her husband in the middle of the night and on a whim, killed Fern, who didn't even know they were there. They got $15, the family car, and yup--they also got arrested a few hours later.

But their antics after being arrested are also part of the story, so prepare for some twists and turns.

Thank you for joining us today, and as usual, we'll see you again on Friday with our usual good and bad selves! Hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving if you celebrate it, and an awesome week either way!

Welcome back, Crime Family, this week we are on Episode 44, and you're not going to want to miss these stories.

Bailey goes first to remind us about the horrific North Carolina murder of Latrese Curtis. She was traveling between Durham and Raleigh when she was brutally killed on the side of the highway a mile from her abandoned car. In the end it turned out that she was victimized by one of the last people anyone would have thought to look at. And the reason for it is....well....you'll see.

Beth brings the story of several crimes. Some of the crimes were against nature, which led to the final crime--the near-death of Charla Nash. Travis the chimpanzee was raised in an environment at odds with his instincts. But Charla went through absolute hell and her entire life changed forever when Travis lost it and mauled her. She has been through more than anyone should ever go through, and 13 years down the road, she is one of the strongest, most determined, and least woeful people you could meet. There is a lot of nuance in why this terrible thing happened to her, so hopefully we as humans have learned something. And we can definitely learn a lot from her resilience.

After you finish this episode, you ought to go check out and subscribe to our friends Carmen and Joanna at Live, Laugh, Murder Podcast! Every week, awesome storyteller Carmen tells a story that MIGHT be true crime, or it MIGHT be a plot from a horror movie. Non-horror-loving Joanna has to figure out which it was, and her reactions are priceless. They can be found anywhere you're listening to us!

So have a seat, grab a glass, and let's learn something from the lives and misfortunes of others.

Thank you for stopping by, as always, we love you guys and we're glad you're here!

Whoa, get ready for a wild episode 43, Crime Family. This week we flipped our traditional roles and Beth took the heavy story; Bailey brought up the mood with a really maddening and then amazing upper story.

But first things first. Susan Brockert spent 15 years working her tail off at a job she loved. She succeeded in every respect, and her company decided to show their appreciation and reward her with the trip of a lifetime to celebrate her achievements. Of course, she naturally wanted to take her boyfriend of two years.

That decision led to the end of everything for Susan in the most horrific and brutal attack by the man who supposedly loved her.

See why we needed Bailey after that??

So, next is the story of Natalie Queiroz, who was 8 months pregnant and just trying to meet her loving baby daddy for lunch. As she walked to the cafe, she was targeted in a stabbing attack on a public street, surrounded by dozens of people. But Natalie was lucky enough to survive and go on to bring goodness and light into the world, despite the horrific reality that led to her nearly dying in the street.

This week will make you angry and confused, and certainly wondering how people manage to justify their sociopathic actions in their own minds.

Please remember to take care of yourself and don't forget to keep your eyes open for the warning signs of domestic violence. If you're not sure where to go for help, in the US, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at +1 800-799-7233 or text START to 88788, or in an emergency, call 911.

In the UK, you can go to the government website for domestic violence assistance, at this link: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/domestic-abuse-how-to-get-help or in an emergency, call 999.

After you finish this episode, you ought to go check out and subscribe to our friends Paige and Sam at M3: Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem. They're squirrely in an endearing way, but once you get past the opening squirrels, you have great research and insightful storytelling to look forward to! They can be found anywhere you're listening to us!

Thank you for joining us today, this episode could be heavy enough to justify a whiskey drink! And as always, hang around, the bloopers might have you craving bonbons or Twinkies (yuck, but to each their own!)!

Hi again, everybody, welcome back to the BnB, where we'll always leave the light on for the late arrivals, but the doors will be locked. Because...crime, y'all.

This week we have stories of two women who loved their husbands, and were forced to experience their murders.

Bailey will enrage you with the absolutely infuriating murder of Chad Oulson, who was murdered at the movies by an ex-police captain who claimed he was in fear for his life. Why would he feel scared for his life? Uhhh, because Chad threw some popcorn at him after being hassled multiple times. When you hear the sequence of events, entirely instigated by the ex-captain, it is really outrageous that this case turned out the way it did.

Beth then has to try to recover us from the first story, but this one is rough, too. Debra Puglisi Sharp and her husband Nino Puglisi were just living their best lives and looking forward to their 25th wedding anniversary, when a random stranger wandered in off the street and murdered Nino and took Debra captive. But there is even more to this story than the senselessness of the crimes--it's about how Debra ultimately kept her wits, outsmarted her captor, and got herself rescued.

If you would like to visit the Oulson Family Foundation, founded by Chad's wife Nicole after his death with the goal to help children affected by gun violence, you can find it at www.oulsonfamilyfoundation.com

Also, please don't forget to check out Torture Podcast, whose trailer you heard at the beginning of the episode. Kevin and Dan share fascinating information about old-timey and modern-timey tortures, and they're smart and fun to listen to. Give it a chance!

We're glad you're here for this episode, because these victims did not deserve any of what happened to them. So let's get comfortable and get into this week's stories.

Thank you for joining us!

It's bonus week again, ya'll, and Bailey has another Atlanta mysterious disappearance for us today, in BONUS Episode 41.5. She brings us the strange story of Justin Glen Gaines, a college freshman who did what every college freshman has done--he went out to a nightclub, and was looking for a ride home.

Somewhere between leaving the club in Duluth GA and his home in Snellville, less than 20 miles away, he disappeared, never to be seen again. There are some pretty tricky scenarios that have come to light over the years, but still no answers to what happened to Justin. Someone knows, and we hope anyone who knows something will contact the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office at 770-513-5100.

Thank you for joining us mid-week in the Bonus BnB, where there are always snacks and wine, and a comfy place to crash.

See you Friday, Crime Family!

First off, let us warn you that the audio this week is a little unpredictable, because we were recording remotely, across the Atlantic Ocean, and our network was acting like a brat.

BUT we think we have more than made up for that, because this week, we were so honored to have the amazing UK / Ireland duo of Andrew and Rachael from Picture the Scene Podcast, and we enjoyed every minute of it.

We took over the role of bad guy, with Beth sharing the heartbreaking story of Yoshihiro Hattori, a lovable and vibrant 16-year-old Japanese exchange student who was killed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in a completely preventable "Castle Doctrine" shooting.

Then Picture the Scene takes the reins as Andrew brings us the story of Pooja Gaud. Pooja was a seven-year-old Mumbai schoolgirl who was taught to respect her elders. When a childless couple approached and kidnapped her, her family spent nearly a decade searching and hoping for the return of "Girl #166". And as Andrew reminds us: this IS an uplifting story!

The BnB was filled to the rafters this week, and we couldn't have been happier. If you aren't already following Picture the Scene Podcast, please go find them and subscribe wherever you're listening to us! You can also find them on Twitter and Instragram as @scenepod. They are wonderful, and we'd hate for you to be missing out!

Please remember to hang around for the bloopers after the meowtro, which are decidedly less Puss-centric this week. But we like to keep you guessing.

Thank you, as always, for stopping by. While you're here, grab a piece of DAIM Bar cake--Andrew's treat!

Wow, Episode 40, everybody! Thank you for joining us!

This week Bailey brings to light the true story of the terrible history of the Bowling Green Murder Mansion in Kentucky, and the questions surrounding the involvement of Harry Kilgore and 'maybe' his beloved, who married another man. Or two.

Beth shares the harrowing Hawaii survival story of Nicholas Iwamoto, who only wanted to serve his country, but instead had his whole life hijacked and rerouted by a man who nearly took his life. This one is rough, but the ending shows how strong a man can be.

We are so excited for our 40th episode, and we wouldn't want to do it without you! Although, if you stick around for the bloopers, you'll see that it MIGHT be easier without the input from Puss ever so often.

As always, Crime Family, many thanks for being here with us.

Cheers!
