    Update: The Murder of Kristin O'Connell

    For nearly 41 years, Kristin O'Connell's family has waited for answers. The question: Who Killed Kristin O’Connell? Now, there is renewed hope. A California forensic laboratory is prepared to conduct advanced DNA testing on key evidence preserved since Kristin's 1985 murder. Before that testing can begin, however, $10,000 must be raised. In this special update, I share why this testing matters, where Kristin's case stands today, and how each of us can help move her case one step closer to answers. How You Can Help Donate to Kristin's GoFundMe:  https://gofund.me/6f2337db0If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing the fundraiser. Every share helps keep Kristin's story alive and brings this opportunity to more people. New to Kristin's Story? You can listen to my nine-part investigative series here: https://methodandmadnesspodcast.com/KristinHave Information? If you know anything about Kristin's murder, even something that seemed insignificant in 1985, please contact the New York State Police:(585) 398-4125  Thank you for caring about victims.

    109. Jackie Harp

    This is the 6th part of a series honoring the victims of Richard Cottingham. Please listen to episodes 104 through 108 first.  In July 1968, 13-year-old Jackie Harp left drum corps practice in Midland Park, New Jersey, and began the short walk home. She never arrived. Hours later, a quiet suburban town was turned upside down when Jackie was found murdered in the woods less than half a mile from her house. The case would go unsolved for more than 50 years. In this episode, we follow Jackie’s final day, the immediate search that gripped her family and community, and the investigation that ultimately stalled despite hundreds of interviews and early leads.

    107. Mary Ann Della Salla

    Part 4 of the Richard Cottingham Victim Series A single diary entry, buried inside a police file, may have held the key to stopping a killer. In 1967, 17-year-old Mary Ann Della Salla vanished while walking home from work in Hackensack, New Jersey. Seventy-six days later, she was found nine miles away. Her case went cold, and her name faded, until decades later when a confession brought it all back. In this episode, we retrace Mary Ann’s final days, the overlooked details that sat untouched for years, and the chilling truth that surfaced in 2022 - when serial killer Richard Cottingham finally admitted what he had done. This is the 4th part of a series. Please listen to episodes 104, 105 & 106 first.

    105. Confessions: The Names He Couldn't Bury

    Part 2 of the Richard Cottingham Victim Series In this mini-series, we will continue to honor the victims whose lives were taken by a serial killer who terrorized New York and New Jersey for 15 years. Featured on today’s episode: Deedeh Goodarzi, Manhattan Jane Doe, Jean Reyner, Valerie Ann Street, Mary Ann Carr, Nancy Vogel, Mary Ann Pryor, and Lorraine Kelly. Richard Cottingham has been behind bars for 46 years, but some of his crimes have only recently come to light. Initially convicted of 5 homicides and multiple assaults, Cottingham is now responsible for the murders of 20 women and children. He is likely guilty of much more, including several cold cases in New Jersey. It’s time to give the victims’ loved ones some peace.  Today, I am joined by True Crime Author & Historian Dr. Peter Vronsky. Thank you to Robert Anzilotti and the late Jennifer Weiss. Jane Doe has been described as a white female between 16 and 22, between 5’1” and 5’4”, weighing 100 to 110 pounds. Her clothing, found in the bathtub, is a full-length black coat, a pair of Bon Jour blue jeans (size 7-8),  a pair of black patent leather boots (size 8), and a burgundy mohair sweater (size 38).

    104. Mary Ann Pryor & Lorraine Kelly- The Names He Couldn't Bury

    Part 1 of the Richard Cottingham Victim Series  On August 9th, 1974, 2 teenagers on their way to a New Jersey mall went missing. 17-year-old Mary Ann Pryor and 16-year-old Lorraine Kelly were best friends, savoring the last days of summer break. They should have been heading into their senior year; older, sunburned, and full of plans.They never got that chance. Five days after they went missing, their bodies were discovered miles from where they were last seen. What happened to them left lasting wounds for their families and their community. Decades passed with no major suspects, and the double homicide became one of New Jersey’s oldest cold cases. “It’ll never get solved”, many thought. It had simply been too long. This is Mary Ann’s & Lorraine’s story. Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of graphic violence.

    Replay - Fearless: Jyoti Singh

    Originally published January 31, 2023. It started as a simple night out; 2 friends going to see a movie. Afterward, the pair boarded a bus headed for home. What they encountered on that ride would be described in the following days as “barbaric”, “shocking”, and “horrific”. This is the story of 23-year-old Jyoti Singh. She had completed her finals and was preparing for an internship to become a doctor of physiotherapy. She told her parents in December of 2012 not to worry; all of their troubles would be over soon. But on December 16th, what she encountered was pure evil.
