    Freedom Part 2: The High Line

    Freedom Part 2: The High Line

    Last week, I told you about Robert Silveria aka Sidetrack aka The Boxcar Killer, and his years-long series of murders. Sidetrack traveled at will, with no record of his movements, and his pool of victims were the unhoused, the drifters, and the fellow rail hoppers he encountered. People on the fringe- the kind who wouldn't be missed. This week, the end of the murders, the arrest, and many confessions of Robert Silveria, as well as the California police detective who moonlighted as Elvis- a quirk which endeared him to the killer, and also led to this cop writing the actual book on the case. This is Freedom Part 2: The High Line.

    Freedom Part 1: Butchered Up

    Freedom Part 1: Butchered Up

    Part 1: "Butchered Up"

    By the mid-nineteen-nineties, the United States population of train tramps and hobos dropped to only a few thousand from their Depression-era numbers of two million plus. This turn-around began in 1941, when the U.S. began actions during WWII, which led to the military draft, and "the creation of millions of jobs in defense and war industries.” The man we're telling you about today started hopping the rails as a full-time hobo lifestyle in 1991, half a century after the Second World War. He lived as ruler in a kingdom as expansive as the contiguous United States, yet as slim as the space between the rails of the nearly 140,000 miles of freight tracks crisscrossing the country. A nearly unstoppable man, in a world where violence was the law. He called himself Sidetrack.

    The Murder of Barbara Jean Hagedorn Part 2

    The Murder of Barbara Jean Hagedorn Part 2

    Part 2: The Dream Has Never Changed

    Last week I spoke about perpetrator, rapist and murderer Bruce Bradley Bushey. This week, we aren’t talking about him, but about his victims Barbara and her son Patrick. In different ways, Barbara and Patrick both lost their lives to the same man.

    Today I’ll talk with Patrick about what he remembers of his mother and the chaos surrounding her death. He’ll talk about how it shaped the way reacted as a teen and how he’s turned into a helper as an adult.

    The Murder of Barbara Jean Hagedorn Part 1: When You Stop Breathing

    The Murder of Barbara Jean Hagedorn Part 1: When You Stop Breathing

    Part 1: "When You Stop Breathing"
    When a woman’s body was discovered partially undressed, strangled, and abandoned near the Green River in Washington, it was quickly assumed she had been yet another victim of the Green River Killer. Thankfully, witnesses came forward and gave accurate accounts of what happened to Barbara Jean Hegadorn that night. That information led to the arrest of a man who wasn’t the Green River killer, but a man who was out on parole for another violent attack. This is the story of Barbara Jean Hagedorn.

We discuss everything from how Gary Ridgway’s childhood may have impacted his psychology to why it made it so darn hard to catch him.

Love this podcast ❤️

Brandy MMFL ,

Get to the point and tell the story!

They screw around A lot and talk gibberish. I like to hear about the crime without a lot of jokes and side talk.

lindy luvs music ,

Love this podcast!

I can always depend on well researched cases from this team. It’s obvious that they spend time investigating before presenting their stories. Thanks for shedding light & the honest truth on cases that need more light & truth. And who doesn’t like to hear their friendly banter & bloopers at the end. Keep up the great work!
