Yours in Murder

This week, we travel to Illinois State University, Rachel's Alma Mater. We take our title from the words of the old fight song to say "Our Spirit Cannot Die". However, there are still two unsolved murders at this midwestern state school. In 1975, Carol Rofstad died of head injuries after being attacked outside of her sorority house. This case is the oldest unsolved case in the Illinois State Police database. In 1993, Jennifer Lockmiller was found stabbed and strangled in her apartment. Her ex boyfriend was convicted of her murder but was declared innocent on appeal. The case is still unsolved.

For the finale of Women's History Month, we bring you "Women of the Resistance". We are a little more political than usual, just to warn ya. We broadly define resistance as those standing for what is right against those who oppose them up to and including the law.

However, we also talk about... the Marvel Hero, spiders, praying mantises... weird sexual practices in animals... and get to the point. Stacey Castor, Evelyn Dick, and the Black Widow of Kyoto.
