    The Missing Palmer Brothers

    The Missing Palmer Brothers

    The loss of one child who went missing seems unbearable.  Two going missing seems absolutely unimaginable. Here is the tale of two brothers, the Palmer brothers, who went missing years apart in Alaska, with hardly any clues to lead investigators in any direction.

    Buried Secrets Part 2

    Buried Secrets Part 2

    Today we will cover the second half of a case in the disappearance of Christine Sheddy.  Please listen to the first episode titled Buried Secrets (link here https://www.podbean.com/ep/pb-nfkn6-1377a30)  This young mother was staying with her “best” friend and disappeared, seemingly into nowhere.  Her mother, her biggest champion, never gave up.  The search was marred by information found in Christine’s Diary as well as the preconceptions of at least one detective according to Christine’s mother.  The answer to Christine's disappearance came to light because one the perpetrators felt a strong sense of fatherly love for his daughter, but did he do this to help Christine's mother or was it because he wanted to extort and use the criminal justice system for his ow wants?

    This does include a fundraiser for the funeral for my brother George.  He had quadruple bypass just before Christmas and was on his way to a Cardiac Rehab Appointment.  He was stopped for a school bus that had it’s lights on and Stop Sign out.  For some reason, another driver didn’t see him.  The investigation is ongoing and we are not sure how insurance works in these cases, but my sister-in-law lost her best friend, I lost my hero, his kids and grandkids lost a mentor, and now my SIL needs to find a way to pay for the service.  Thank you.

    GoFundMe for funeral services for George Jefferson, my brother:

    3 Unidentified Victims Now Identified

    This episode will cover 3 recent identifications of Jane and John Does. Improvements in DNA technology have allowed law enforcement to explore avenues that would not have been thought of when some of these remains were found. More and more people, both unidentified victims as well as unidentified perpetrators, are being identified at a much quicker pace than ever before, bringing at least some closure to the victims’ loved ones.

    Germond Family Murders Part 2

    Germond Family Murders Part 2

    On Thanksgiving Eve in 1930, The Germond Family was killed, shocking Duchess County, NY and the whole nation.  While this grisly unsolved crime took the lives of an entire close family unit, it has not had as much coverage or discussion as some other family murders.  It has been over 90 years now, but is there any evidence left, or anyone, that can ever shed any light onto this case?
