    88. Indifference: The Murder of Romona Moore

    It wasn’t like 21-year-old Romona Moore to run off. Nobody knew that better than her mom, Ellie Carmichael.  In April of 2003, Romona left the Brooklyn home she shared with her mother and said she was heading to Burger King to grab dinner. She never returned. It took days of pleading for Ellie to get the NYPD to take Romona’s disappearance seriously. By the time detectives began looking, it was too late. Romona had endured days of torture, before being discarded like trash. This case unfolds with a series of abductions, allegations of racial bias against the NYPD, intense manhunts, and a daring attempted courtroom escape. It also raises the proposal of new legislation in response to these events. This is Romona’s story. ____________________________________ Method & Madness is researched, written, hosted, & produced by Dawn Music by Tymur Khakimov from Pixabay ____________________________________ REACH OUT:  methodandmadnesspod@gmail.com CONNECT:InstagramXTikTokDIVE INTO MORE:  MethodandMadnessPodcast.com ____________________________________ All sources are listed on the website, under each episode description.

    87. Accused: The Murder of Dolores Della Penna

    In July of 1972, residents in the Tacony neighborhood of Philadelphia witnessed a violent abduction right outside their homes.  Nobody called the police. The next morning, 17-year-old Dolores Della Penna was confirmed missing and her family was sick with worry.  Law enforcement canvassed the area and interviewed more than 100 people as the city of brotherly love offered their support to the heartbroken Della Penna family.  Ten days after the abduction, a gruesome discovery in the pine barrens of New Jersey would lead to a decades-long investigation and the horrifying reality of what happened to Dolores Della Penna. ____________________________________ Method & Madness is researched, written, hosted, & produced by Dawn Music by Tymur Khakimov from Pixabay ____________________________________ REACH OUT: methodandmadnesspod@gmail.com CONNECT: InstagramXTikTokDIVE INTO MORE:  MethodandMadnessPodcast.com ____________________________________ All sources are listed on the website, under each episode description.

    In November of 1979, the body of a female was found in a cornfield in the village of Caledonia, New York. She had been shot twice. With no identification on her and no missing persons reports matching her description, her identity was a mystery. She became known as Caledonia Jane Doe. Over the next 3 decades, thousands of tips came in but nothing that provided answers. Then one day, a woman took to Facebook in hopes of finding her old friend, and a mystery was solved. This is the story of Tammy Jo Alexander.

    Method & Madness Presents: Unforbidden Truth

    In this bonus episode, Method & Madness presents an episode from the podcast "Unforbidden Truth".  On this week's episode, Andrew speaks with deceased serial killer, Billy Chemirmir. Billy Chemirmir is a Kenyan-American convicted serial killer known for his crimes in the United States. Born in Kenya in 1969, Chemirmir immigrated to the U.S. in the early 2000s. He gained notoriety for a series of murders targeting elderly women, primarily in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas.  Chemirmir's modus operandi involved posing as a caregiver or maintenance worker to gain access to his victims' homes. Once inside, he would often smother them with a pillow or use other methods to kill them, then steal their valuables. His criminal activities spanned from 2016 to 2018, during which he was able to evade capture for a significant period. The breakthrough in his case came when he was arrested in March 2018 for a suspected murder. As investigators dug deeper, they linked him to multiple other deaths, leading to his conviction. Chemirmir was found guilty of several charges, including multiple counts of capital murder. His case drew significant media attention due to the heinous nature of his crimes and the vulnerabilities of his victims. Chemirmir's trial and conviction highlighted issues related to elder care, safety, and the challenges of detecting and preventing such targeted crimes. This interview was recorded while Chemirmir was on trial for capital murder. On September 19, 2023, Chemirmir was killed by his cellmate at the Coffield Unit in Tennessee Colony, Anderson County, Texas. Chemirmir, who was 50 years old, was allegedly attacked by Wyatt Busby. Busby was serving a 50-year sentence for the 2016 stabbing death of a man from the Houston area. Before his death, Chemirmir had reportedly made inappropriate comments about his cellmate's children.

    85. Targeted: The Murder of John Umberger

    Today we’re headed to New York City, where in May of 2022, 33-year-old John Umberger walked out of the townhome where he was staying - and headed to dinner with some friends. John, the social creature he was, met with more friends at a rooftop bar.  After midnight, John made his last stop;  the Q, an LGBTQ nightclub in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen Neighborhood.  After leaving the Q, nobody heard from John again. He stopped answering calls, didn’t respond to texts, missed social events with friends - and then missed work. Where was he?  As each day passed with no word from John, his family began to panic. And then, they took action. Thank you to Linda Clary for sharing her story and for sharing John with all of us.
