    It's Raining...Meat? Goo? Sodium Polyacrylate?

    In 1876 in Kentucky and 1994 in Washington, citizens experienced the skies raining down mysterious substances. In Kentucky, the blobs appeared to be meat, while in Washington, the blobs were translucent, gelatinous goo. In both instances, samples were collected, tests were performed, and scientists made conclusions.  In the case of the blobs in Washington, scientists never could agree on what the substance is. Luckily, one resident collected a sample and has held on to it in case anyone ever wants to get to the bottom of it.  In the case of the Kentucky meat shower, the samples were determined to be meat, but the source of the meat is something you would never guess.  Come along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss crows bringing you gifts, airplane waste, and chemistry.

    The Dardeen Family Murders

    Keith and Elaine Dardeen were a well liked and respected couple in their community of Ina, IL. In November 1987, they had a 2 year old son, Peter, and Elaine was seven months pregnant with a baby girl. On November 18, police were sent to the Dardeen family home for a wellness check after Keith hadn’t shown up for work. They found three bodies all tucked into the same bed: Elaine, Peter, and a brand new baby girl. Elaine had been beaten so severely that she had gone into labor and delivered her baby who was tragically met with the same fate as her mother and brother.  Keith was nowhere to be found so he immediately became the prime suspect. The next day, Keith’s body was found in a wheat field not far from the home. He had been shot, had a head injury, and his penis had been severed. It was clear that he had not committed this crime. So investigators start digging into Keith and Elaine’s lives and find…nothing. They had no enemies and no one had a single bad thing to say about them.  Over three decades have passed and police are no closer to solving the case today as they were in 1987. Could this have been the work of a serial killer, a potential home buyer, or someone else entirely?  Come along as Hannah and her little mom discuss spider friends, eight-tracks, and Southern Illinois. If you have any information pertaining to this case, please contact the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office at 618-244-8004. *Researched by Stephanie*   CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of mutilation and homicide.

    The Cookie Monster Killer

    In the summer of 1987, Harrison “Marty” Graham was evicted due to his failure to fix the horrific smell coming from his apartment. When he left, he brought a water bottle, some clothes, and his Cookie Monster puppet that he had had since childhood.  When the landlord’s son and nephew went to the apartment to make sure Marty had gone, they found that a door to one of the rooms was nailed shut. They called the police who broke down the door and found several decomposing bodies in that room. They started searching for Marty, but he was difficult to track down. After about a week, police caught up to him and brought him in for questioning. He quickly admitted to murdering seven women, only five of which he knew their names. Marty’s defense focused on his mental capacity, and he underwent multiple psychiatric evaluations. Eventually, he was sentenced to one life sentence and six death sentences, however, he was later determined to be incompetent to be executed. Come along with Hannah and Lainey as they discuss McDonald’s cookie totes, The Parent Trap, and our fruit fly friend.    CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of homicide, sexual assault, and necrophilia.

    The Enfield Poltergeist

    In late August of 1977, the Hodgson family started experiencing paranormal occurrences in their home including strange knocking sounds, furniture moving on its own, and Lego bricks being thrown across the room by an invisible force. The matriarch of the family, Peggy, had contacted the police for help but when they couldn’t help her, she went to the media. This led to the home being investigated by the Society for Psychical Research (SPR).  The SPR sent Maurice Grosse to investigate and he ended up investigating for over 18 months and capturing over 200 hours of audio recordings of activity in the home. Most of the activity revolved around 11 year old Janet Hodgson. Many people believed it was a hoax made up by Janet and her siblings, but over 30 individuals witnessed things in that home that couldn’t be explained away. Come along with Hannah and Adriana as they discuss this haunting, the Super Bowl half time show, scientists in ghost hunting, and what the f**k even is a Poltergeist?

    The Clearfield Rapist

    From 1991 to 2002, there was a series of random sexual assaults in Utah and Wyoming. DNA was left at the scene of 11 attacks. Unfortunately, this DNA didn’t match any identified person in CODIS and eventually, the cases went cold. In 2017, investigators approached Dr. Barbara Rae-Venter to help solve this case through the use of familial DNA. The science had come a long way since 2002, and Dr. Rae-Venter was able to track down family members of the attacker. Ultimately, this led to the arrest of Mark Douglas Burns who admitted to these eleven attacks and three murders for which he had not even been suspected. Mark Douglas Burns was sentenced to 242 years in prison for the attacks alone.    Come along with Hannah and Lainey as they discuss their favorite Scooby-Doo characters, burglary vs. robbery, and what is a second cousin?   CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of rape, sexual assault, and homicide.

    The Senseless Murder of Lauren Giddings

    Lauren Giddings spent the summer of 2011 studying to take the bar exam. She had just graduated from law school in May and was planning to move in with her boyfriend soon. When her sister hadn’t heard from Lauren in a couple of days, she sent one of Lauren’s friends over to check on her, but nobody answered. The friend used a spare key to get into the apartment. Lauren’s keys, wallet, and purse were there, but Lauren was nowhere to be found. A missing persons report was filed and a search party was formed. The next morning while detectives are investigating, they smell something strange. The smell leads them to the garbage cans where they uncover the torso of a human body. Investigators discover a hacksaw in the maintenance room of this apartment building that appears to have some blood and tissue on it. Only two people have a key to this room: the owner of the building and the maintenance man. Or at least that’s what police think at first, until they find a secret third master key in a fellow law student and neighbor’s apartment.  Nobody would want to hurt Lauren. So who could have done this? Her boyfriend who didn’t really want her to be moving in? Her ex-boyfriend who still had feelings for her? The maintenance man who had a key and a hacksaw? Or a fellow law school graduate who lived next door with a secret third master key?  Follow along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss this horrific case, as well as, rollerblading, the bar exam, and having a saw room.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of homicide and dismemberment.

    The Grimes Sisters

    On December 28, 1956, sisters Barbara Grimes, 15, and Patricia Grimes, 12, left their home to go see Elvis Presley’s “Love Me Tender” at the Brighton Theater in Chicago. When they didn’t arrive home by midnight, their mother alerted the authorities. Police officers and hundreds of volunteers searched for them for days, but the weather was brutal and searches eventually came to a halt. On January 22, 1957, the girls’ bodies were found in a ditch along the side of a road in Willow Springs, IL. Both bodies showed signs of trauma including marks, bruises, and puncture wounds to the chest. There have been some suspects over the years but there has never been enough evidence to definitively link anyone to the murders. This year will mark 70 years since the girls disappeared and police are no closer to finding their killer than they were in 1956. Did four young boys assault them and throw them out in the cold? Was it a stablehand who admitted to killing three young boys the year before? Or the dishwasher who admitted to the murders after being interrogated for hours? Follow along as Hannah and Lainey theorize and discuss the upcoming winter Olympics, horse girls, and romanticizing winter.   CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of homicide and sexual assault.

    The Mysterious Disappearance of the Sodder Children

    On today’s episode of Spooky B*tch Walk, Hannah tells Bob about the mysterious disappearance of the Sodder children. On Christmas Eve 1945, the Sodder family was gathered in their home spending a cozy night together. Six of the ten Sodder children asked their parents, George and Jennie, if they could stay up late because they were having such a good time together. Jennie and George allowed this; it was Christmas Eve, after all.  Around midnight, the phone rang and Jennie answered it. She saw that only one of her children was still in the living room asleep on the couch. She assumed the other five must have gone up to bed. Around 1am, Jennie was awoken by the smell of smoke. Their home was on fire and the flames were spreading fast. George and Jennie along with 4 of their children were able to escape the flames, but five of their children were still inside. Or were they?  The Sodder home burnt to the ground in 45 minutes. No remains were ever found indicating that there were no other bodies in the house when it burned. There are many theories about what could have possibly happened. Were the flames hot enough to cremate all five bodies? Had they been kidnapped and the house set on fire to hide evidence? Was an angry local banker to blame for the arson? Or did the children simply run away never to contact their family again? Along the way, Hannah and Bob discuss black holes, Carole Baskin, and who can handle the most gore.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains strong language.
