    The Murders of Chynna and Blake Dickus

    On today’s episode of Koltergeist, we’re going to discuss the unsolved murders of a 10-year old boy and his step mother. These brutal murders occurred in sanctity their home in the middle of a beautiful summer afternoon-and have remained unsolved for decades. Despite the horrific nature of the crime, the case has remained largely absent from the national spotlight. For decades, the victims' loved ones have been left searching for answers while investigators have released very little information to the public. With few details available and no one ever brought to justice, the murders remain one of Indiana's enduring cold cases.

    The Murder of Kalinka Bamberski

    This episode covers the horrific death of a 14-year-old girl and it is unlike any story we’ve covered before. It is about more than a beautiful life lost, more than the depraved acts of a sick mind- this a story about the contrast of two very different men. The first, exploited his position of trust to carry out horrific crimes against multiple young girls and women. And he got away with his crimes for a long time-until he picked the wrong victim and ignited a fire in another man who’s dogged pursuit of justice lasted over 2 decades. The fight was clever, unconventional, and not 100% legal. But when you hear this story, you will have to agree that when ordinary, decent people join forces with honor and conviction, darkness does not get the final word.  The Kalinka Affair - The Atavist Magazine Kosovar in Netflix documentary helped father catch his daughter's killer Hosted on Acast.

    Deadly Decisions – The Ethan Couch and Justine Winter stories

    In June 2013, 16-year-old Ethan Couch drove drunk at nearly three times the legal alcohol limit, speeding through a residential area in Texas before crashing into a group of people helping a stranded motorist. The crash killed four people. Couch's case became infamous after his defense argued that his wealthy, permissive upbringing—dubbed "affluenza"—left him unable to understand the consequences of his actions. Instead of prison, he initially received probation, sparking widespread public outrage. In March 2009, 16-year-old Justine Winter was speeding and illegally passing traffic on a two-lane highway near Missoula, Montana, when she crossed the center line and crashed head-on into another vehicle. The collision killed a woman who was eight months pregnant and her 13-year-old son, devastating an entire family and leading to Winter's conviction on multiple homicide charges. https://abcnews.com/US/affluenza-dui-case-happened-night-accident-left- people/story?id=34481444 https://www.nytimes.com/topic/ethan-couch https://mezrano.com/alabama/car-accidents/drunk-driving/ https://missoulian.com/guilty-teen-drops-lawsuit-against-family-of-victims-in-fatal- crash/article_de025f9e-c303-5b0a-8085-3526c112f17b.html?mode=nowapp https://abcnews.com/US/justine-winters-court-statement/story?id=14283064 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14242654/ Hosted on Acast.

    Lesson Unlearned: The murder of Ellen Greenberg and the investigation that failed her (*Re-released episode)

    On a cold January evening in 2011, 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg, a beloved teacher and bride-to-be, was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment with 20 stab wounds—10 of which were to the back of her head and neck. Despite the medical examiner determining the manner of death as a homicide, it was never really investigated as such. The medical examiner then suddenly changed the manner of death to suicide-and then changed it yet again, but the story doesn’t end there. Ellen’s family and many experts have raised compelling questions about the clearly bungled investigation. On this episode of Koltergeist we’ll delve into the evidence, the autopsy findings, and a brand new bombshell to ask the difficult question—who killed Ellen Greenberg?
