    The Max Headroom Interruption (1987) As the day wound down on Sunday, November 22nd, 1987, the greater Chicago area was in a fabulous mood.

In this episode, we dive head first into the crazy-ass case of the Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion that shocked Chicago, Illinois in 1987. Was this the work of a tech-savvy savant prankster or was there a more sinister motive behind it?

    S2: Episode 07 - Caught After Death: Reverse DNA / Forensic Genealogy Exposes Michael Sumpter

    Thanks for dropping by and listening to Solve Crimes’ series, “Caught After Death”. With recent advancements in Reverse DNA / Forensic Genealogy searches, law enforcement detectives working on cold cases are excited to close some of their most frustrating unsolved murders. Michael Sumpter terrorized the city of Boston in the late sixties through the mid seventies. Sumpter had a lengthy record with many sexual assault charges, but no murders. While serving 15 years for a 1975 assault of a Boston woman, he was released to hospice care and died of cancer in 2001. In 2018, with the help of Reverse DNA and Forensic Genealogy, the brutal truth was revealed what Michael Sumpter really was - a cold blooded killer. Thankfully, three families finally have closure on who killed their loved ones fifty years ago. The problem is that these families will never see Sumpter pay for his crimes. He’ll never hear a heart wrenching or angry victim’s impact statement from them. He will never be formally charged, tried, convicted, sentenced and serve prison time for taking their loved ones away from them. **Please consider supporting this podcast - link below.** Please subscribe to our YouTube channel at https://YouTube.com/c/SolveCrimes/ Visit our web site for info at https://SolveCrimes.tv SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook https://Facebook.com/SolveCrimesTV/ Instagram @SolveCrimes

    S2: Episode 06 - Alec Baldwin Kills Cinematographer - Was Halyna Murdered? - PART TWO

    We knew that the weekend would bring out more information and we were right. In this episode, we continue to talk about what happened last Thursday on the set of the Alec Baldwin film "Rust". We learn about an assistant director with a history of errors in judgement. We finally find out exactly what was going on when the tragic situation happened. We read a statement from Halyna's husband Matt only a day after her death. Stick around...there's much more to this case. Could a disgruntled crew member have placed live ammunition in Alec Baldwin's prop gun? Possibly to prove a point about the lack of safety during filming of "Rust" at Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico? In other words, was Halyna murdered? Or was it simply a tragic accident that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza?

    S2: Episode 05 - Alec Baldwin Kills Cinematographer - Was Halyna Murdered? PART ONE

    You've seen the headline "Alec Baldwin Kills Cinematographer" - but did you know about the crew that walked out only hours before over concerns about safety on the set? Could a disgruntled crew member have placed live ammunition in Alec Baldwin's prop gun? Possibly to prove a point about the lack of safety during filming of "Rust" at Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico? In other words, was Halyna murdered? Or was it simply a tragic accident that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza? We'll tell the preliminary story with what we know of this case so far. Santa Fe County Sheriff Office has obtained warrants to search the ranch. They are investigating what was loaded in the gun, who had access to the prop gun and of course...motive to kill.

    S2: Episode 04 - Caught After Death: Reverse DNA / Forensic Genealogy Exposes Kenneth Gould

    Welcome to Season 2 of Solve Crimes! Thanks for dropping by and listening to Solve Crimes’ new series, “Caught After Death”. With recent advancements in Reverse DNA / Forensic Genealogy searches, law enforcement detectives working on cold cases are excited to close some of their most frustrating unsolved murders. Another recent success is from the Cascade County Sheriff's Office in Montana. They may have just cracked the oldest cold case using Reverse DNA  or Forensic Genealogy last month in June 2021 - 65 years after the double homicide of two young kids in Great Falls, Montana. Cascade County Sheriff Detective Sgt. Jon Kadner took over the case in 2012 and quickly got to know the ins and outs of the case that dated back to 1956 when a 16-year old girl and her 18-year old boyfriend were accosted and their lives taken that night. With the help of Bode Technology - a Virginia based company and the same firm that helped investigators nab The Golden State Killer in 2018 - and some relatives willing to provide DNA samples, they were able to definitively confirm that Kenneth Gould was their killer. Gould - who lived roughly a mile from the female victim - had died in 2007. He quite literally got away with murder his entire life. Kenneth Gould was never questioned by law enforcement. Not as a witness, not as a suspect. **Please consider supporting this podcast - link below.** Please subscribe to our YouTube channel at https://YouTube.com/c/SolveCrimes/ Visit our web site for info at https://SolveCrimes.tv SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook https://Facebook.com/SolveCrimesTV/ Instagram @SolveCrimes

    S2: Episode 03 - Caught After Death: Reverse DNA / Forensic Genealogy Exposes Joseph Holt

    Welcome to Season 2 of Solve Crimes! Thanks for dropping by and welcome to Solve Crimes’ new series, “Caught After Death”. With recent advancements in Reverse DNA / Forensic Genealogy searches, law enforcement detectives working on cold cases are excited to close some of their most frustrating unsolved murders. One such cold case unit was the El Dorado County Cold Case Task Force in California which encompasses the South Lake Tahoe, California area. They had two murders with assault from 1977 and 1979 that shared the DNA of one unknown suspect. The suspect's DNA was not in CODIS - the FBI's national DNA database of known criminals. So they used GED Match to find a close relative of the murderer and eventually they got him...but he was dead. In February of 2019, it was announced that they had genetically matched Joseph Stephen Holt to the two murders in South Lake Tahoe, California. **Please consider supporting this podcast - link below.** Please subscribe to our YouTube channel at https://YouTube.com/c/SolveCrimes/ Visit our web site for info at https://SolveCrimes.tv SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook https://Facebook.com/SolveCrimesTV/ Instagram @SolveCrimes

    S2: Episode 02 - They Killed Their Parents: Edmund Kemper and Joel Guy, Jr.

    Welcome to Season 2 of Solve Crimes!  Thanks for dropping by and welcome to Solve Crimes’ new series, “They Killed Their Parents”. One thing we want to make clear is that we will attempt to tell stories of interest in the True Crime genre, not to glorify these killers or their horrible acts. This - and other series - will be documentary style for those of you who find True Crime fascinating and intriguing. In between the cases that we are actively investigating, we’ll be posting true crime content like this. We hope you find them interesting and entertaining. Let us know in the comments if you like this particular series and want us to make more. You can also let us know if you have any specific requests and we’ll absolutely look into it. By the title alone, you can tell that this a pretty dark topic and these two convicted parent killers committed acts as dark as you could possibly imagine. We’ll first take a look at Edmund Kemper, III. We will be doing a deeper dive on Mr. Kemper in the near future since he is not only a parent killer but an overall serial killer, so we’ll pretty much focus on the topic at hand for this episode. Not only did Ed Kemper kill a parent, he also killed his paternal grandparents when he was just 15 years old. In the second half of this episode, we’ll present “Diabolical Stew”, the story of Joel Michael Guy, Jr. This is a more recent case from 2016 with Guy being sentenced just this past October 2020. He murdered both of his parents in Knoxville, Tennessee on November 26, 2016. Then he dismembered them and tried to dissolve all traces of them in a mixture of harsh chemicals. All because his parents planned on cutting him off financially. Buckle up. These are a couple of horrific stories we’re about to tell.
