This is the story of 18-year-old Heidi Allen, who was kidnapped in a small town where corruption got in the way of justice. In school we are all taught that the justice system punishes bad people for doing bad things. The justice system is here to protect us, but sometimes that is not the case and the system in place to protect us is not infallible. This is Peebles for the People where injustices are exposed.

    Introducing Black Springs

    Black Springs. Darkness Lives Here.

    Welcome to the new horror podcast on Underdog. At first glance, Black Springs, looks like any other suburban town in Florida. Built on a swamp with a checkered past, it's the city most people would pass by without another thought. But if you live in Black Springs, you know it's different.

    Hi everyone, I am Sean Ryan, bringing a new podcast to the underdog podcast network. My co-creator, Eric Zimmerman, and I are very excited to present the town of Black Springs, based on the swampy Floridian town we grew up in. Our mothers begged us not to play in the woods. They told us to stay away from strangers. Stories of haunted woods, disappearances, murders, and sometimes worse were common for us growing, just as their common in Black Springs.

    In this anthology series, Erik and I have crafted horror fiction all with a true sense of our home and its heart. Coming in early September and rolling through the Halloween season, Black Springs will dive into psychological thrillers, tales of serial killers, demons, beasts, and more. It's a true celebration of horror in a unique show format designed to immerse our listeners.

    Bonus: The Making Of - Part Two

    I was sitting at the dinner table with my family when my phone buzzed. It was a text message with a picture of a facebook post by Heidi Allen's sister, Lisa Buske. I saw my name in the first line, I immediately thought she must not have been happy about the voicemail I left her. After reading the post thoroughly, that wasn't the case. The post generated a slew of derogatory comments towards me.

    Bonus: The Making Of - Part One

    In this special episode of Peebles for the People I take you behind the scenes to give you a look at the story telling process. In this episode you'll hear never before heard audio of phone calls I made to help better tell Heidi's story. I have to say, I never could have imagined how these calls turned out. I heard baseless accusations, lies, and was confronted with contention in many of these calls.

    Episode 15: Gary The Innocent

    Episode 15: Gary The Innocent

    This is the final episode of the first season of Peebles for the People. Gary Thibodeau's case was heard by the New York State Court of Appeals. His fight for innocence came to an end in August of 2018. Towards the end of the more than 20 years he spent in prison Gary wrote letters to his defense attorney Lisa Peebles, everyone was signed: "Gary the innocent." His letters were insightful and witty. Even after the case concluded, District Attorney Greg Oakes lied to the public. You are not going to want to miss the heart wrenching conclusion of Heidi Allen's kidnapping.

    Episode 14: The Decision

    Episode 14: The Decision

    Gary Thibodeau's defense team fought tooth and nail to get his 1995 conviction overturned. Lisa Peebles dredged up details of Michael Bohrer's horrific criminal history, yet prosecutors and Judge King saw no significance in Bohrer kidnapping another woman between the ages of 18 and 21. During Bohrer's testimony he talked about chilling details that no one could ignore. Bohrer admitted he found out Heidi's identity as a confidential informant had been exposed the day her C.I. index card was recovered in the parking on the D&W, which was in 1991. That gave Bohrer a clear motive to commit this heinous crime. But in King's decision he refused to concede Heidi was a C.I.

Great podcast but terrible sound!!!

Very interesting story and great podcast. Sound was not so great. When the narrator speaks the sound is low and when recordings are played it’s very loud or lots of background noise. Just seems sound took away from a great story.

Great work!

Amazing how much new evidence and Brady violations Lisa Pebbles and team had to get Gary a new trial. We live in Syracuse but never knew the extent of how dirty Oswego and their conviction was. I’m fact, listening to this, I found out we know someone that was subpoenaed! I am heart broken for Heidi.

You did a great job supporting your Mother. We need more Lisa’s!
