    OM Backroads Ep: 30. Part 2. Outlaws, Scoundrels and Bootleggers. Hell's Half Acre in East Liverpool, Ohio

    Hello an welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries: Backroads. In Part 2 of today's episode we travel down to the sleepy little river town of East Liverpool, Ohio and learn about what some people called the most dangerous place in America, Hell's Half Acre. This assortment of bars, brothels, outlaws and trouble became known as the bootlegging capitol of Ohio. Situated on the Ohio-Pa border, this place was a haven for criminals of all sorts. Learn about the tunnels, the stills, the fights and the shootings and find out why this was the location that Pretty Boy Floyd was traveling to avoid capture before he was gunned down in a nearby field.

    Akron porch murders

    Akron porch murders

    In 2009, an Akron woman was shot dead by a man who stood on her porch and knocked on her door. The next year, a second woman was killed when she answered the door. And in 2015, Akron police found a third Akron woman dead on her friends back porch. There is no reason to think these murders are connected, and they were barely covered by local media. But tonight, we remember the unsolved murders of Diane Mitchell-McMillian, Gwendolyn Hoisten and Duetta Nurse.

    The Great Locomotive Chase Pt 3

    The Great Locomotive Chase Pt 3

    In 1862, 23 Ohio soldiers, led by a Kentucky union spy, stole deep into the south with the intent of stealing a train and using it to destroy telegraph lines, railroad tracks and bridges and cripple the south. They ultimately got caught and nearly half of them hanged, but the survivors were given the very first Medals of Honor by a grateful US Congress. In this final part, we learn the fate of the men as they are captured, imprisoned and tried.

Good ideas

This is an interesting show for any history buff.

Love It!

Love the mysteries on your podcast from long ago to current. You even did a 10 Minute Mystery about one of my ancestors, Warlock’s Grave outside of New Phila. No one in the family knows why that rumor ever got started unless it was because someone thought his grave just looked spooky. Keep up the great work!

Great podcast

I was looking for a fun and interesting show for local folklore and legends and this one is by far best that I have found for Ohio. I also enjoy that local bands are featured each episode, so fun to learn about! Well done!
