    S1: E17 - Yuba County 5 / Marcus Wesson

    Welcome back to Between the Crimes! After a short (maybe long...) hiatus we bring you: Episode Seventeen. Celia's fiancé, Jason, joins us again today due to the craziness of COVID-19. Don't worry though, Jenna will be back again for Episode 18!
    We wanted to thank Ashley Flowers at CrimeJunkie for giving us the idea for the Yuba County 5 case for this episode. Hopefully, we did it justice as well. Please click here to check out their podcast episode featuring this story!

    S1: E15 - Princess Diana / The Cleveland Kidnappings

    S1: E15 - Princess Diana / The Cleveland Kidnappings

    Hey everyone! Check out episode 15, otherwise known as, "the last episode we're recording with only one microphone!"
     


    This one is a bit unconventional, as we discuss Celia's favorite person: Princess Diana. While her death isn't the type of "crime" we typically talk about on this podcast, there are some interesting conspiracy theories associated with the event. We also discuss the Cleveland Kidnappings. Similar to the Jaycee Dugard case, this was a case that captivated the nation when it broke worldwide headlines.

    *WARNING: VERY GRAPHIC EPISODE*
    Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
    What better day to release a new episode of Between the Crimes! Just in time for you all to settle down, spend time with family & friends, and get ready for a nice warm meal.
    Interestingly enough, we have a very special episode for you today. Brace yourself, this is one of the most graphic and disgusting true crime stories we have ever shared here on this podcast. The faint of heart should not listen to this episode, particularly part two -- and the squeamish should absolutely not listen to this episode before Thanksgiving dinner.
    Consider yourself warned...
    Join us first for the story of Skylar Neese. She was a 16-year-old girl whose life was brutally cut short by those she trusted most. Personal thank you to the creators and staff of NBC's Dateline for providing us, yet again, with phenomenal information for a case.
    Then, hear the graphic and violet story of Issei Sagawa -- the man who got away with a brutal, cannibalistic crime.
    Happy holidays!

    "Too Much Blood", a song on the Rolling Stones' 1983 album Undercover, is about Sagawa and violence in the media. His crime also inspired the Stranglers' 1981 song "La Folie". The Noise Black Metal band Gnaw Their Tongues also released an EP titled Issei Sagawa in 2006.
    Sagawa's crimes, and his later career as an actor, were discussed in the 2015 documentary Fear Itself by filmmaker Charlie Lyne.

    S1: E13 - Ursula Herrmann / Phoebe Handsjuk

    S1: E13 - Ursula Herrmann / Phoebe Handsjuk

    Welcome back for yet another episode of Between the Crimes.
    This week, Celia's story was a tough one to research. The story of Ursula Herrmann comes from Germany back in 1981. This is an unsolved mystery that might frustrate you as much as us. We are extremely grateful for an article written by Xan Rice. We would not have been able to complete this episode without it.
    Jenna also has an unsolved mystery for you; she tells the story of Phoebe Handsjuk, a young woman who "fell" down a garbage chute in an apartment building. Did she fall, or was she put in? Shout out to CrimeJunkie for producing an amazing podcast episode about this case!
