    Infamous Axe Murderers: Lizzie Borden & Thomas Goss

    This week on Murder, Not Murdering, Autumn and Erin take a trip into the dark folklore of New England, where two infamous axe murderers became the stuff of legend. First, Autumn revisits one of America’s most notorious unsolved mysteries: Lizzie Borden. On a sweltering August morning in 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were found brutally murdered inside their Fall River, Massachusetts home. Lizzie, the daughter of the victims, was accused of wielding the axe—but did she really do it? More than a century later, the question remains. Then Erin takes us back to 1785 Connecticut for the strange and unsettling story of Thomas Goss, a man whose violent crime, bizarre behavior, and subsequent inquest raised questions about madness, murder, and the law. His case offers a glimpse into how early New England communities understood insanity—and what happened when a murderer was believed to be beyond his own control. Two cases. Two axes. Two very different eras. From whispered accusations and courtroom drama to madness, murder, and the gallows, The Witch, The Axe, & the Gallows explores how these two New England killers became part of American true-crime history. Murder, Not Murdering — because sometimes the legend is only the beginning.

    The Hammer, The Medium, and the Missing Brother / The Kidnapping of Patty Hearst

    This week on Murder, Not Murdering, Erin brings us back to Spokane, Washington, in 1919 for the strange and unsettling case of W.H. McNutt. A missing brother, a hammer, and a medium all become pieces of a bizarre mystery that captured the attention of Spokane—and left behind more questions than answers. Then Autumn dives into one of the most infamous kidnappings in American history: the kidnapping of Patty Hearst. In 1974, the 19-year-old heiress was abducted from her Berkeley apartment by the Symbionese Liberation Army. What happened next would become a media sensation, sparking questions about loyalty, coercion, radical politics, and the mysterious transformation of a kidnapping victim into one of the most controversial figures of the 1970s. Two cases. Two very different eras. And two stories that prove sometimes the strangest crimes are the ones that refuse to fit neatly into a box. Murder, Not Murdering — new episodes every Tuesday.

    The Mirage: The Tavern That Set A Trap

    What happens when a group of reporters decides that the best way to expose corruption is to stop reporting—and start bartending? In 1970s Chicago, a team of investigative journalists opened a tavern in one of the city’s toughest neighborhoods. But this wasn’t your average neighborhood bar. The Mirage Tavern was a carefully constructed undercover operation, designed to find out exactly what happened when city inspectors, police officers, politicians, and other officials thought nobody was watching. For months, the reporters poured drinks, kept the books, and quietly documented a system of bribery and corruption that operated with remarkable ease. What they uncovered would become one of the most audacious pieces of undercover journalism in Chicago history—and prove that sometimes, the best way to expose a crooked system is to let it walk right through your front door. This week on Murder, Not Murdering, we’re going behind the bar at The Mirage: The Tavern That Set a Trap—where the drinks were real, the reporters were undercover, and the corruption was very much on the record.
