In 1992, Mark Whitacre, vice president of a Fortune 500 company, agreed to be an undercover FBI informant to help an investigation into price fixing. In 1998, he was convicted of 46 felonies involving fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, obstruction of justice, and price fixing; sentenced to nine years in federal prison; and ordered to pay $11 million in restitution to his former employer. How accurately did Steven Soderbergh portray these events in his biographical comedy The Informant! (2009), staring Matt Damon?

10 years ago a man walked into a Lane Bryant clothing store posing as a delivery man. He announced a holdup and began taking women to a back room where they were bound with tape. One of the brave ladies managed to call 911. The robbery escalated and turned very violent. Before fleeing he shot all six ladies. Despite police arriving on the scene within minutes of the 911 call the killer managed to get away. Police have spent millions of dollars trying to catch this man.

Heather Kullorn /// Part 1 /// 675

Part 1 of 2

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

This week we talk about a case that we fear has gone cold. There are good suspects in this case but have all of the possible leads dried up? Back in July of 1999, Heather Kullorn was babysitting an infant overnight. This is odd especially giving the ages. Heather was twelve and the infant was just a little over two months old. Given the ages an overnight babysitting gig does not seem appropriate at all. Heather disappeared in the middle of the night. Blood was found at the scene. The baby thankfully was alive and well when the parents returned home. Police were called and the authorities have been looking for Heather for over twenty years now. We believe the person or persons responsible have likely shared intimate knowledge of the case with someone. If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Heather Kullorn please call the St. Louis Police Department at 314-231-1212. To remain anonymous please call Crimestoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS.

Tionda & Diamond Bradley  /// Part 2 /// 673 

Part 2 of 2 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

Sisters Tionda and Diamond have been missing for over twenty years now. Their mother left the two little girls home alone on work day in the summer of 2001. When she returned home, the girls were gone and a note was left saying the two had gone to the playground. Tionda was ten years old and Diamond was just three. This week we go through the complicated timeline of events surrounding their disappearance. This case has been labeled missing and endangered. We believe the girls may have been abducted by someone they knew. The F.B.I. asks that anyone with information about the disappearance of Tionda and Diamond Bradley contact the Chicago Police Department detectives at 312-747-8380 OR your local F.B.I. office. The family’s private detective can be reached at 847-579-9771.
