    SOUNDS LIKE TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT: ALABAMA BOTCHED EXECUTIONS

    SOUNDS LIKE TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT: ALABAMA BOTCHED EXECUTIONS

    I do not have the answer. I feel like those much smarter than me do not either. But botched executions should not happen. Using nitrogen hypoxia might be more humane than a botched lethal injection but how do we know? One thing I do know is that the listeners to this podcast are some of the most brilliant and compassionate souls. I am open to hearing your thoughts, pro or con.

    SOUNDS LIKE SHE FOUND HIM: HOW PHILLIPA FOUND RICHARD III

    SOUNDS LIKE SHE FOUND HIM: HOW PHILLIPA FOUND RICHARD III

    Can one woman who is determined to find the Lost King actually achieve this?!?! You bet she can. Phillipa Langley did have some help. Some. But she is a force of nature and she alone set in motion a group, a village of researchers, anthropologists, genetic genealogists, experts in many fields to dig up a parking lot and lo and behold, 500 hundred years later, Richard WAS there. The film "The Lost King," is her story. AND Richard's story.

    TASTES LIKE HUGO SELENSKI HAS ODD GARDENING TENDENCIES

    TASTES LIKE HUGO SELENSKI HAS ODD GARDENING TENDENCIES

    Most High School predictions aren't precursors for how our lives will go. But the students of Sioux City High School voting Hugo Selenski "Most Likely to be in Detention For Life," seems pretty accurate. A career criminal who escaped a maximum security area of a prison, stole large amounts from mulitple other criminals and had several bodies buried in his backyard, it looks like he will not be outside of prison walls for the foreseeable future if ever. One of the bodies in his yard is still unidentified but we know that several agencies are working on this now and hopefully the last person found will be known soon.

    TASTES LIKE WHY ON EARTH HAS IT BEEN 25 YEARS AND SUZANNE JOVIN'S CASE IS STILL UNSOLVED?

    Many podcasts and documentaries have been created around Suzanne's case. Its almost unbelievable that her case is STILL UNSOLVED 25 years later. Her story isn't unusual but it is unique.

    TASTES LIKE THIS JANE DOE WAS LOVED AND DELPHI TRIAL UPDATE

    Found in 2018 buried in a very shallow grave wrapped in cloth with a rose on her chest, someone loved this woman. Perhaps they were afraid to call police since she was found with drugs in her system. Or maybe they could not afford a funeral. But for sure she was loved. SOMEONE has to know this woman. SOMEONE must recognize her clothing, her jewelry, the new 3-D model of her features. Its a joint effort with the Hamilton County Coroner, the BCI of Ohio, Cincinnati Police and other agencies trying to identify her. 

    The second part of the episode is the odd updates on the Delphi IN trial of accused murderer Richard Allen.

    TASTES LIKE BAD SANTA CAME TO TOWN

    Adolph Laudenberg picked up some useful skills as a young man. He could whittle and helped support his family making well respected and in demand walking sticks. He also obsessed over his two step sons spouses and confessed to both of them his 'Four Sins,' earning him the nickname The Santa Strangler. Hear this monster's story in this weeks episode. 

    TASTES LIKE IS NATALEE HOLLOWAY'S CASE REALLY CLOSED?

    TASTES LIKE IS NATALEE HOLLOWAY'S CASE REALLY CLOSED?

    Even though there was a "confession" proffered by an inveterate liar, Joran Van Der Sloot, I am not sure I will ever believe him. He has told so many lies about what happened that night. This explanation seems like it could be what happened but I will never trust him. If it brings some peace to her parents and loved ones I guess that is the best we can ask for. But its never going to be enough.

    TASTES LIKE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO WHITNEY COPLEY

    Beautiful Whitney Copley was 24 when she did not return from staying overnight with some 'friends.'

If you know anything about what happened to Whitney in Russellville Kentucky please contact the Kentucky State Police Post 15 at 270-384-4769 or KSP HQ at 502-782-1800.
