A Simpler Time True Crime

Megan Storm

I’m Megan, your host, and each week I revisit unsolved cases from decades past, stories that have too often been forgotten or overlooked. Together, we examine the facts, question the myths of the “good old days,” and ask whether a simpler time was ever really a safer one. This podcast honors the people at the heart of each case, focusing not on sensationalism, but on the lives affected and the justice still waiting to be served.

    The Private Diary: The Unsolved Disappearance of Amber Wilde

    In the fall of 1998, a pregnant college student gets into a car accident. She is okay for the most part, but she hit her head on the windshield hard enough to leave a large bump. She checks in with her father, lets him know she visited the campus nurse, and nothing else seems amiss. Then suddenly, she and her car vanish. People wonder: was she more seriously injured than she realized, driving somewhere in a state of confusion? Or was something more sinister at play? When her car turns up abandoned with hundreds of unexplained miles on it and no sign of the mother-to-be, the clues seem to point to the latter. Now, nearly three decades later what happened to Amber remains one of Wisconsin's biggest mysteries but  something Amber left behind herself may be the biggest clue investigators have to work with yet. TIPS: Green Bay Police Department at 920-448-3200. If you wish to remain anonymous, please contact CRIME STOPPERS at 920-432-7867. You can also contact the FBI via their online submissions form.

    A Missing Nurse, A Missing Jeep: The Unsolved Disappearance of Audrey Herron

    In August 2002, thirty-one-year-old nurse Audrey Herron finished her shift, climbed into her Jeep Grand Cherokee, and began the 13-mile drive home on a rainy, foggy evening. She never arrived. From that night forward, neither Audrey nor her Jeep has ever been found. Some believe she was involved in a crash and that both she and her vehicle remain hidden somewhere within the region's waterways or rugged terrain despite years of extensive searches. Others believe she encountered someone on that dark drive home, or perhaps even after she arrived. Whatever happened, Audrey left behind a husband, family, friends, and three young children who have now grown into adults still searching for answers about what happened to their mother.

    The Other Side of Exoneration: The Unsolved Murder of Jackie Harrison

    In the summer of 1987, a young New Jersey mother is found brutally murdered. The case shocks her community, but when an arrest is made not long afterward, many believe the person responsible has been caught. Decades later, advances in DNA testing reveal that the man convicted of her murder could not have been the killer. The discovery exposes a wrongful conviction, sends the investigation back to the beginning, and leaves her family once again searching for answers. Today, the hope is that the same evidence that freed the wrong man may finally identify the right one. TIPS: New Jersey Crime Stoppers at (973) 267-2255 or Burlington Township Anonymous Tip Line (609) 386-2019.

    The Path Off Deerfoot Road: The Unsolved Murder of Laralee Spear

    On an April afternoon in 1994, a fifteen year old Florida girl gets off her school bus at the entrance to the dirt road leading to her home. From there, she still had about a quarter mile to walk. The narrow road cut through thick Florida brush, with dense vegetation pressing in on both sides and tree branches overhead creating an almost continuous canopy. It was a walk she knew well and one that usually took only about five minutes. But this time, she never made it home. Later that same afternoon, after she was reported missing, a sheriff's helicopter found her body not far from where she had gotten off the bus. Investigators eventually arrested a suspect, but before the case could ever go to trial, the case against him unraveled. Today, 32 years later, detectives are still trying to figure out who killed her so close to home.

    A Jog In The Wilderness: The Unsolved Disappearance of Amy Wroe Bechtel

    In July of 1997, an avid runner spent the afternoon running errands before driving into Wyoming's Shoshone National Forest to map out a 10K route as part of her marathon training. When she didn't return home by nightfall, her husband knew something was wrong. Friends, family, and volunteers quickly began searching the trails, believing she may have been injured somewhere along her run. But after an extensive search turned up no sign of Amy, investigators began to consider that she may no longer be in forest at all and that her disappearance was the result of foul play. As the investigation unfolded, attention turned to Amy's husband. His actions in the days after her disappearance and his limited cooperation with investigators led to years of public debate. Some believed he had been unfairly judged, while others felt there were too many unanswered questions to ignore. At the same time, investigators never ruled out the possibility that Amy had crossed paths with a stranger. That theory gained renewed attention years later when a suspected serial killer was placed in Lander around the time Amy disappeared. Nearly 30 years later, Amy Wroe Bechtel's disappearance remains one of Wyoming's most enduring mysteries. Was she harmed by someone she knew, or did she become the victim of a chance encounter while out on a training run? After decades of investigation, no one has been able to explain what happened after Amy set out that afternoon.

    Pregnant and Missing: The Unsolved Disappearance of Ali Gilmore

    In early 2006, a 30-year-old woman in Tallahassee was four months pregnant and navigating a tricky time in her life. Cautiously optimistic about welcoming her rainbow baby, she was also going through some personal troubles. Her and her husband had been separated for a few months and she was casually seeing another man, whom she was breaking things off with to work on her marriage and prepare for the arrival of the baby. After a regular day of working her 9-5 office job followed by her side gig at a grocery store bakery, she headed home to get off her feet. That was the last anyone saw her.  Even though she was normally in touch with friends, family, and co-workers every single day, a series of events led her to not be reported missing for a few days. The investigation revealed persons of interest, clues around a late night telephone call, and a missed counseling appointment. All of these things paved the way for theories. Finally, fifteen years after her disappearance, more of what happened that night came into light but it still hasn’t been enough to close the case.

    A Tragedy Beyond Measure: The Murder of Angelikque Sutton and a Discussion of Fetal Abduction

    While recently covering the disappearance of Branson Perry, I briefly discussed the murder of his cousin's wife, Bobbie Jo Stinnett, a victim of the rare and devastating crime known as fetal abduction. That conversation led me to a discussion with returning podcast guest and retired Bronx Homicide Detective Robert Klein, who investigated a remarkably similar case in 2015. In this episode, Rob joins me to discuss the murder of 22-year-old Angelikque Sutton, a young mother-to-be whose life was stolen just days before she was due to give birth. Fetal abduction cases are incredibly rare, but when they do happen, they leave devastation that reaches far beyond the immediate victim. We discuss Angelikque's case, the deception that often surrounds these crimes, and the patterns investigators have observed across similar cases over the years. We also discuss the striking parallels between Angelikque's case and the recent Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct, and how understanding these patterns may help prevent future tragedies.

About

I’m Megan, your host, and each week I revisit unsolved cases from decades past, stories that have too often been forgotten or overlooked. Together, we examine the facts, question the myths of the “good old days,” and ask whether a simpler time was ever really a safer one. This podcast honors the people at the heart of each case, focusing not on sensationalism, but on the lives affected and the justice still waiting to be served.
