    Dig Up the Yard - Hugo Selenski (part two)

    "You're looking for bodies? Go ahead. Dig up the yard." In Part Two, investigators take Hugo Selenski up on his offer. Less than 20 feet from his back door, they find Michael Kerkowski and Tammy Fassett. In the fire pit behind the house, they find the remains of three more people. One of them has never been identified. We cover the drug-house sleepover that turned deadly, a jeweler's home invasion undone by sneaker prints in the snow, and the night Hugo climbed down a 60-foot rope of prison bedsheets, only to go home. Then there's the 2006 trial that ended in a headline nobody saw coming, prison fan mail from people who really should have known better, and the jailhouse phone call where Hugo offered the least convincing denial in history. Finally, after nearly 13 years, Michael and Tammy's families get their day in court. There's an informant who admits he lied, a mother who tells the defendant to wipe the smile off his face, and a verdict, followed by an elevator ride nobody at that courthouse will forget. If you missed Part One, start there. Our Vanished Voices episode on Cindy Song, the Penn State student an informant tried to tie to this case, is out now.

    Dig Up the Yard - Hugo Selenski (part one)

    On the afternoon of May 3, 2002, Michael Kerkowski and Tammy Fassett were doing yard work when two visitors pulled into the driveway. When Michael's mother called, Tammy kept it short: "We have company." Michael was a pharmacist from northeastern Pennsylvania who'd been caught selling hundreds of thousands of painkillers out of his own store, and he was days away from sentencing. The man he trusted to help him through it was his best friend, Hugo Selenski, a bank robber fresh out of federal prison who once tried to wash exploded dye out of stolen cash in his parents' washing machine. When Michael and Tammy disappeared, police assumed Michael had fled. But Hugo knew exactly where they were. For months he sat with Michael's grieving parents, promising their son was alive and taking about $100,000 of their money, until the night a gun went off in their basement. In part one of two, we cover a dream house on six wooded acres, a sweaty pair of men with brand-new shovels, a lie about a gas tank, a $500,000 story about Belize, and the moment an old prison buddy finally decided to talk. Part two drops Friday. And over on Vanished Voices this week, we cover the disappearance of Penn State student Cindy Song, a case that became tangled up in this one. Look for that episode Thursday.

    He Walked Out of Frame — Steven Koecher (part two)

    Steven Koecher's phone has gone silent, his family is left with more questions than answers. What investigators find years later — buried, hidden, and nearly destroyed by time — changes everything about how this case should have been handled from the start. This episode picks up right where the story left off, following the trail into a landlord facing serious felony exposure at the exact moment Steven needed money more than ever, a call log that turns increasingly desperate over the span of just a few days, and a piece of physical evidence that stayed hidden for years before finally surfacing — only to fall agonizingly short of giving anyone a real answer. We also dig into a second person tied to the case, whose documented history raises just as many questions, and a piece of property damage that nobody has ever been able to explain the timing of. Sixteen years later, this case is still wide open, and by the end of this episode, you may find yourself just as unsettled by how little was ever actually investigated as by what may have happened to Steven himself. If you have any information regarding Steven Koecher, please contact the Henderson Police Department or the St. George Police Department.
