Who Shot That Guy? | The Killing of Scott Guy
New Zealand, 2010 is our setting for today's episode, for that is where the poor soul known as Scott Guy was unceremoniously gunned down in the driveway of the farm he partly owned. While there were some persons of interest, the police really only ever focused on one suspect: Scott's brother-in-law, Ewen Macdonald.
Between behavioral issues on Macdonald's side, and family drama basically everywhere, Ewen was arrested and went to trial for the murder of Scott Guy, but was he found guilty, or is the true culprit still at large to this day? Listen to find out!

Love and War | Ishtar
So, let's pretend the last five months didn't happen (god, how I wish that were true...), and that this episode went up directly after the last :).
Anyway, I'm back with an episode that is sort of a shout out to the origins of this podcast: Ancient Myths! Specifically Mesopotamia. I really do love this era, and it's sort of like the origins of all modern cultural lore. Today we're talking about the Wonder Woman of ancient history: Ishtar. She was the goddess of love, but also war! How cool is that. She's both a lover and a fighter, which is super badass. Anyway, listen to the episode for all the goodies!

Don’t Go Night Swimming | Michelle Von Emster
When a body washed ashore near San Diego, it was a mystery as to what happened. Missing limbs and pieces of flesh torn from the body, many assumed it was a vicious shark attack. But upon closer inspection, that may not have been the case.
Many Autopsies, and a few reexaminations later. shark attack was ruled out. So what happened to Michelle Von Emster that fateful day in April of '94?

Customer Reviews
Indulgent
Casey has a very deep and engaging voice and any podcast that delves into the sinful nature of sloth has my heart. Highly recommend.
Perfection
I was looking for some lesser known lore and myths to learn about and I found this podcast and Casey has certainly delivered. This is an amazing listen for either at work or your everyday stuff. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
Short but incredibly satisfying
I’m obsessed with unsolved mysteries and true crime, and I always learn something new every episode of Ominous Origins. The topics are always fascinating, and Casey does a great job keeping things interesting and mixing it up. One week he may be talking about alien abductions, the next week he’ll discuss an infamous serial killer, the next week he’ll delve into demonology, and the next week it will be about killer dolls! Casey packs a ton of great information into these really short and easy-to-listen-to episodes. I have a short attention span, and these episodes are easy for anyone to fit into their day without feeling overwhelmed or bored in the slightest. Casey also has the absolute perfect radio voice, and the quality of the cast is tremendous. It’s crystal clear, professionally edited, and well produced. One of my absolute favorites and highly recommended!
