    EP39: The Keddie Cabin Murders

    On April 11, 1981, a mother and two teenage boys were found brutally murdered in their cabin at the Keddie Resort, in the small town of Keddie, California. The woman's youngest daughter was missing and presumed abducted from the scene, until a shocking discovery three years later.  

    The investigation into what became known as the "Keddie Cabin Murders" has been marked by a series of missteps and controversies. Despite extensive investigations and a multitude of suspects, no one has been charged with the murders. The case has inspired numerous theories and speculations, ranging from drug deals gone wrong to personal vendettas.  The Keddie Cabin Murders continue to be a haunting and perplexing reminder of the darkness that can lurk in even the most idyllic of locations.

    EP38: The Eastburn Family Murders

    EP38: The Eastburn Family Murders

    The Eastburn family murders was a case that shocked the community of Fayetteville, North Carolina in 1985. On the morning of May 9, 1985, the wife and two daughters of military Captain Gary Eastburn were found brutally murdered in their home. The lone survivor of the tragedy, the Eastburns’ 21 month old baby, was left in her crib, unharmed.

    Investigators discovered that Gary Eastburn had been away on a military training exercise at the time of the murders, and Kathryn Eastburn had been at home alone with her three children. That left investigators to find out who would want to kill a beautiful young mother and her two daughters...and why?

    EP37: The Murder of Craig Rideout

    During the early morning hours of July 20, 2016 the body of Craig Rideout was found in a wooded field in Yates County, New York. His remains were wrapped in a tarp, and his face and hands had been disfigured by some kind of caustic chemical in order to mask his identity. 
    Investigators were baffled as to who would want to murder this father of seven, but numerous missteps from the suspects would lead them directly back to Craig’s own family.

    EP35: The McMartin Preschool Trials

    EP35: The McMartin Preschool Trials

    In 1983, an accusation was made by the parent of a toddler who attended a Southern California preschool. That single accusation launched an investigation that resulted in hundreds of children bringing accusations of abuse and satanic rituals against the small family-run business.

    The controversial case and ensuing trials would go down as one of the longest and most expensive criminal investigations in American history.  Were hundreds of children actually abused, or did an overzealous investigation result in a witch hunt?

    On Labor Day, 2012, a vicious neighborhood feud over a missing birthday present led to the brutal massacre of two people in a quiet Florida community.

Concise and interesting

This podcast gets to the information quickly and is thorough. I’ve been listening non-stop. I would highly recommend.

Meh

Not bad, but I have reached a point where I can no longer deal with the speaker's pronunciation of words that end in "ing." (Example: for the word "getting" she says "getteen.") I guess it's just a pet peeve of mine, but I have unfollowed the podcast because of it 🤷‍♀️

Defending a murderer

Would she be defending Amber Hilberling if she were a man? I don’t think so! I can’t stand people like her!!
