Dead? Or Dead Drunk?
The Golden Gate Park Tunnel Tragedy
Episode 185 takes us to the West Coast just after Prohibition, when a 23-year-old woman turns up dead, strangled and violated (as they say) in Golden Gate Park, just after being unceremoniously ejected from a rich man’s hotel apartment after refusing his advances. The man has an alibi. See if you buy it.

What Happened To Grace
The Atrocities Of Albert Fish
I'D TURN BACK IF I WERE YOU!!!
Episode 191 is without a doubt the vilest case you'll ever hear on this program because I don't think I could find a worse one if I tried. There's a lot of evil discussed here: torture, cannibalism, and more. Consider this your trigger warning: I'd turn back if I were you! Or at least put the kids to bed and plug in your ear buds. Keep this between us.

Like A Moth To The Flames Of Fate
The Florodora Girl Takes The Stand
Episode 257 combines some of our favorite tropes: the love triangle gone awry, another showgirl and another man about town who wants to eat his cake and take it to Europe, too. There were only two people in that hansom cab when the shot was fired, and the Flora Dora girl said she didn't shoot even though the gun was identified as hers.

A Climax Of Repression
The Stanford Bathtub Murder
Episode 255 examines the sensational events following the discovery of a woman found dead in the bathtub, bludgeoned to death, and all circumstantial evidence pointing to the husband. I’m not so sure. The prosecution theory makes some sense, but I think they failed to prove a crucial element that would have convinced me. Drop me an email or a message on Facebook and tell me if you think the same way, what that missing element might be.
Culled from the historic pages of the Oakland Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, and other newspapers of the era.

The Convict Bridegroom And His Aged Wife
The Mahoney Trunk Murder of Seattle

Close Calls For Catherine Cassler
The Murders Of William Lindstrom, Cameo Soutar, And Maybe One Other Guy
Episode 201 tells the story of a woman's allegedly murderous career in Chicago and Indiana. Three times a murder or otherwise suspicious death took place near Mrs. Cassler, and she even spent some time condemned to the gallows, but fate twisted in her favor every time. She did spend more than two years in jail, but overall, it seems like she got pretty lucky indeed.
