    The Murder of Clothilde Marchand

    Quick Note: I realize there is no theme music in this and it's due to a lot of computer issues recording. Recording on a new computer that wouldn't save my file, a new version of what I record on and not having some of the tools I need to do certain editing things, etc. Sooooo, I just got fed up and decided to leave it out. Because life is short, and there are stories to tell. Anyway, onto the show... Clothilde Marchand was a French artist, a mom and a woman who got caught in the crosshairs of other people's affairs. When she opened the door to a woman named Nancy Bowen on March 6, 1930, and was asked one simple question, she didn't realize the answer she gave was enough for Nancy to make an awful decision that would end Clothilde's life.

    The Mad Gasser of Mattoon

    At the end of summer 1944, the residents of small town Mattoon, Illinois, started reporting strange chemical smells in their homes that led to intense symptoms of sickness. Many also reported seeing a figure outside their home that would flee the scene. This figure became known as the Mad Gasser of Mattoon and for weeks, a terrorized town and police force scratched their heads, unable to figure out who was behind these weird attacks that left some Mattoon resident literally paralyzed.  Sources: The Case of the Mad Gasser of Mattoon by Cindy Ackerman Klickna, Wikipedia, University of Illinois Library, American Hauntings The Mad Gasser of Mattoon

    The Death of Ellen Greenberg

    Ellen Greenberg was found in her Philadelphia apartment in the middle of a 2011 snow storm with 20 stab wounds to her body, including 10 to the back of her neck. It seemed to many to be an obvious homicide. The Medical Examiner's eventual "revised" ruling in the manner of Ellen's death would shock many and send her parents on a quest for justice for their daughter. Fourteen years later, recent developments mean the public might find out what actually happened to Ellen Greenberg.  Sources: CNN, News Nation, Lamb McErlane PC, Crime Timeline
