    Jazz Bars, Smoke Shops, and Gangland Hotels

    The murder of Dean O’Banion – followed by the near-miss on John Torrio – became the opening battles in what would become the longest and bloodiest gang war in Chicago history. This wasn’t just gangland maneuvering, Hymie Weiss’ thirst for revenge – it went beyond all that. The control of the entire Chicago underworld was at stake.  Check out our new American Hauntings Podcast Network for even more spooky shows. Have a question or comment?

    American Dread: The Last Walk: The Billie Lee Boyce Story

    Two days before Halloween in 1987, 13-year-old Billie Lee Boyce was found behind a garage in Springfield, Illinois. She had left home two nights earlier and said she would be back in about an hour. She never returned. Her body was discovered near East Melrose Avenue, and her clothing was later recovered under a bridge along Fox Road. Police investigated. A suspect was arrested and charged. DNA testing was expected to help move the case forward. But the charges were dropped before trial, no one was ever convicted, and Billie’s murder remains unsolved. In this episode of American Dread, Adam White takes a closer look at Billie’s last known walk, the evidence left behind, the case that nearly reached trial, and the family that spent decades waiting for answers. This is The Last Walk: The Billie Lee Boyce Story. Check out our new American Hauntings Podcast Network for even more spooky shows. Have a question or comment?

    John Torrio's Last Stand

    Just as the door closed behind Capone, a long black car cruised slowly by. Inside the black car were North Siders Hymie Weiss, Vincent Drucci, and George Moran, all clutching shotguns and automatics. As they rolled up next to Capone’s car, the windows came down and they opened fire on Capone’s car. Bullets slammed into metal and windows shattered in the assault.  A policeman was later quoted as saying: “They let it have everything but the kitchen stove.” Check out our new American Hauntings Podcast Network for even more spooky shows.

    American Dread: The Schneider Triple Homicide

    In 1976, a quiet farm home outside Lincoln, Illinois became the scene of one of Logan County’s most horrifying crimes. Lloyd, Phyllis, and Terri Schneider were murdered inside their own home, while two young survivors escaped into the darkness to get help. What followed was a disturbing case built around wealth, obsession, warning signs, courtroom testimony, and decades of fear every time Michael Drabing came up for parole. This episode of American Dread goes inside the Schneider Triple Homicide — a brutal Heartland crime that still haunts Lincoln nearly fifty years later.

    American Nightmares 24: "The Devil's Music Special Episode: Bobby Fuller"

    The Day the Music Died happened February 3, 1959, when a plane crash in Iowa claimed the lives of rock-n-roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. “Big Bopper” Richardson. But the plane crash didn’t affect just those who died on that terrible morning. In the wake of their deaths, a story began about a curse that was connected to Buddy Holly and his music. Legend has it that one of those musicians was Bobby Fuller, who became famous for his outlaw anthem I FOUGHT THE LAW. He died mysteriously in 1966, leaving behind one of rock-n-roll’s greatest unsolved mysteries. By popular request, this is the story of the mysterious death of Bobby Fuller.  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
