    In the Woods of Dogtown

    In the Season Three finale, me and my guest host Grace get into the many tales of Dogtown, a farming settlement founded in 1693 in Gloucester, MA. The small town briefly thrived until the Revolutionary War when 60 of the settlement's wives were left widows, nothing but their dogs to keep them company as their houses began to crumble around them. Now a ghost town, Dogtown is known for it's famous Babson Boulders, being a former home to witches, and the site of a terrible murder of a school teacher in 1984. What else might lurk in those woods?

    Ted Kennedy’s Infamous Night On Chappaquiddick

    On July 18, 1969, Ted Kennedy drove off Dyke Bridge while attending a party on Chappaquiddick, located on Martha's Vineyard. Though he managed to get out of the car, his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, a former campaign aid of Robert Kennedy, could not get out. Ted claimed to have tried to save her but he never contacted authorities until the next morning after her body had been found. Many people Kennedy never told the full story from that night and that it ruined his chances of becoming president. Could Mary Jo have been saved if something had been done sooner?  You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. And check out my blog and sources on my website.

    Is Hadden Clark Really A Serial Killer?

    Hadden Clark claimed to have killed a number of women in Wellfleet, MA in the 70s while working as a cook in Provincetown, but it has never been confirmed. He was found guilty of murdering 6-year-old Michele Dorr in 1986 and 23-year-old Laura Houghtelingin 1992, both of Maryland, and even cannibalized Michele's remains, sending him to jail for the rest of his life. His brother Bradfield also committed a horrendous murder. Was Hadden responsible for other murders? Did the Clark's trauma contribute to the murders they committed?

    The Vanishing Housewife Joan Risch

    On October 24th, 1961, 31-year-old Joan Risch disappeared from her home in Lincoln, MA, leaving behind quite a big mystery that still has people puzzled. Her kitchen was bloody, her phone ripped from the wall, fingerprints found didn't all match her own, and there had been an unknown car parked in her driveway among other strange details. Yet a woman matching her description was also seen bloody and disoriented on two different roads in town. Did Joan set up this crime scene and disappear on purpose? Did someone hurt her? Did she hurt herself and wander off?  You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. And check out my blog and sources on my website.

    Killer Kids Jesse Pomeroy and John Odgren

    Jesse Pomeroy holds the record for longest incarceration in the U.S. and was the youngest person to be sent to jail for murder after killing two children and torturing a number of others. He was only 14-years-old at the time of his conviction on December 8th, 1874. But he isn't the only young killer in Massachusetts or surrounding states. Though he may've been the most sadistic. This week I cover him and a few other killer kids whose motives range from burglary, anger, gun violence, and sex. What drives kids to kill?  You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

    Who Really Is Clark Rockefeller?

    Clark Rockefeller, whose real name was Christian Gerhartsreiter, spent years operating under different identities before finally being caught by the FBI in 2008 after he kidnapped his own daughter. Not only had he been impersonating a Rockefeller for years, but he also was found guilty of the first degree murder of John Sohus who had gone missing with his wife Linda from San Marino, CA in 1985. Did Clark really kill John? And what did he do with Linda's body?  You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. And check out my blog and sources on my website.

    Killer Nurse "Jolly" Jane Toppan

    On June 23rd, 1902, Jane Toppan was finally convicted of killing at least 11 people while working as a nurse in Eastern Massachusetts. She was declared guilty by reason of insanity for her crimes, getting pleasure toying with her victims by poisoning them before finally allowing them to die. She spent years discretely killing people and there's a chance she actually murdered nearly 100 people though it was never confirmed. Did the trauma of her earlier years turn her into a killer?  You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. And check out my blog and sources on my website.

    The Almost Perfect Boston Brinks Robbery

    On January 17th, 1950, Boston saw the one of the biggest robberies in U.S. history when nearly $3 million was stolen from the Brinks building on Prince Street. What seemed like a perfect crime had police baffled for almost six years as they chased down suspects and worked off very little evidence. Until one of the robbers finally confessed to the FBI. But what made him finally talk?  You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. And check out my blog and sources on my website.
