We commemorate James Wormley Jones and Sylvia Elizabeth Mathis--the first black man and the first black woman to serve as FBI agents. We also talk about the importance of race, gender, and the need for more diversity in law enforcement and other positions of power. We throw in a few other garbage people to discuss because it’s trash day every day here at the True Crime Dumpster! 

Garbage People, Regurgitated: Casey Anthony

Since 2008, Casey Anthony has been one of the most hated women in the country. We explore why this is and what that little lady has been up to since her daughter, Caylee Anthony, was found murdered over a decade ago. We will continue to regurgitate some garbage people for you, but this is just the start. Sorry about the technical difficulty this week!

We kick Ariel Castro to the curb for good and celebrate the amazing people who survived his violent crime spree. Hosts Amy and Kevin discuss some of the aftermath--both good and bad. Join us as we talk out the trash!

Cleveland's Boogeyman, Ariel Castro, lived at 2207 Seymour Avenue. This house of horrors contained three kidnap victims/survivors Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus. Their decade-long imprisonment has been a fascination to onlookers for years. Hosts Amy and Kevin dive deep into the dumpster to talk out the trash and put that Castro out on the curb.

What happened to Johnny Gosch? In this episode, we pick up where we left off and dive into this dumpster fire of this sad, infuriating story, full of rabbit holes to fall down.

We're putting Johnny Gosch on hold while Kevin's out to interview our amazing friend, Liz, who was kidnapped at age 16 in Chile. She's done a lot of amazing things, but one that we highlight in the episode is her music. She wrote the song "Shadows in the Dark" based on her experience. Her band is "Dreaming Dead." Here's her playing the song live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_CnL4kICwU Enjoy!

The mysterious disappearance of Johnny Gosch and other kidnapping cases have a tendency to grip the nation. We all hold our collective breath, hoping that we see our nation's missing again. Some people survive while others, unfortunately, do not. We discuss some of the most infamous cases and zero in on Johnny Gosch's unsolved case in today's episode.

Richard Gere's Butt Gerbil, faux-snuff films with Charlie Sheen, sexually-assaulting sea creatures, and Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? This week, Amy and Kevin go deep into some of life's most important questions--did Gere really resort to rodent play? Did Charlie Sheen really call the FBI?? Dolphins are too cute to rape, aren't they??? Well, jump in the TC Dumpster and find out!!

In this week's episode, Kevin and Amy discuss parties that went tragically wrong, starting with the unsolved murder of David Josiah Lawson from Humboldt State University. Then, we will discuss the Party Monster Michael Alig and his victim, Angel Melendez. We hope you had no party fouls this New Years and wish you a safe 2020!

Happy Holidays from True Crime Dumpster! Almost everyone is on the naughty list in this episode-- like Bruce Pardo, the murderous, flame-throwing Santa. We also discuss the 1945 mystery of the Sodder children. Curl up by the fire...actually, don't. Just take a listen. We hope you have a safe and happy holiday season.
