Addicted to Crime: A True Crime Podcast

13/09/2023

It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Addicted to Crime Podcast, my true crime family, and PodMoth Media Network. Thank you so much for taking the last 2 1/2 year journey with me. I’ve learned so much about the ethics of true crime, and about the importance of connecting with families. Unfortunately, for me right now in this stage of life, podcasting it’s just not going to work with the busyness of my life. After the kids have grown, if podcasting is still a thing, I would absolutely love to revisit as I feel that there is a need to give victim’s families a public voice to share their loved ones cases. Thank you to my faithful listeners and patreon members. The patreon has just been closed & the episodes will be available until Jan 4, 2024 at which time they will be removed from platforms. At that time, the social media pages will be removed as well. All my love, STAY SAFE♥️

Well! It’s not what I wanted, but I think it’s what I needed. Due to my health issues and this pregnancy which my body is having a tough time dealing with, Addicted to Crime Podcast is going on an extended hiatus. I am not sure yet on the return date. Whether it’s after baby, before, or the start of 2024. All I know is my passion for ethical true crime and helping give victims and their families a voice is just as strong as it was when I first started so I will be back. ❤️ please keep listening to the episodes available on all platforms and sending case suggestions for me to cover when I’m back. Much love and STAY SAFE

New Episode: Samuel Little Part 1

We are going to dissect the life and crimes of transient serial killer, Samuel Little. In between the years 1970-2005, this man ravaged women and tore apart families. We are going to take a look at his early life and try and document his many travels and we will end part one with the attack of an unmatched victim in 1984, and then continue on in part two until we talk about his final arrest. Unfortunately, he chose victims who were 'less dead' and whom police and much of the public frankly didn't care about. But they mattered, their stories and their presence here on earth mattered. RIP to the over 50 people that this worm destroyed. Part 2 drops tomorrow. Until then, stay safe.

The investigative genetic genealogists working on Ventura County Jane Doe are appealing for the public’s help. If you or someone you know has ancestors from the state of Zacatecas in Mexico, please review new information about this Jane Doe:

In our previous informational release, we indicated that one parent of our Jane Doe (herein named “Parent 1”) was very likely to be a descendant of a couple – Ponciano Montellano (born abt 1823) and Feliciana Rojas (abt 1824 – 1894), who lived in the small community known as La Blanca, or Bajío de la Tesorera (now known as General Pánfilo Natera) in the Mexican state of Zacatecas. Ponciano and Feliciana had six daughters and one son.

Since then, we have narrowed down our focus to one daughter – Catarina Montellano (1853-1895), and her husband Martin Parga (abt 1847-1902) as direct ancestors of “Parent 1”. Martin Parga was the son of Aniceto Parga (1816-1847) and Maria De Jesus Lira (1815-1896). Several of our matches are descendants of Aniceto and Maria Jesus by way of multiple ancestral lines. And It is very likely that both of our Jane Doe’s parents were descendants of Aniceto Parga and Maria de Jesus Lira.
Martin and Catarina had 14 children, three who died in infancy. The remaining 11 include 3 sons (Ricardo, Martin, and Bruno), and 8 daughters (Monica, Basilia, Guadalupe, Feliciana, Tomasa, Josefa, Bernardina, and Sotera).

We have located descendants of Tomasa, Guadalupe, and Bernardina living in the Los Angeles area, but none of these persons are aware of a missing family member. These three sisters, and the three brothers Ricardo, Martin, and Bruno are considered to be unlikely to be the direct ancestor of “Parent 1”.

Of the remaining five sisters:
We know that Feliciana had at least two children who survived past childhood - Daniel Lopez (b. 1906) and Barbara Lira de Espinoza (b. 1923). She also had a daughter Angela Parga (b. 1907); however, we have no information pertaining to Angela other than her birth record. Daniel and Barbara lived in the Mexican State of Chihuahua and had families there. We have been unable to locate any of Feliciana’s living descendants.

Josefa was a twin sister of Tomasa, both born in 1880. Monica and Basilia have the same date of birth in 1869, but there is no indication in their birth records that they were twins. They might be one child whose birth was mistakenly registered twice under two different names. Sotera was born in 1890, and both of her parents had passed away by the time she was 12 years old. Other than their birth records we can find no records from the later lives of Monica, Basilia, Josefa, or Sotera.

From our research we have observed that there is a large community of persons closely related to Ventura Jane Doe living in the neighborhoods surrounding the Belvedere and Boyle Heights districts of East Los Angeles, who have ancestral roots in General Pánfilo Natera, Zacatecas, and have the same surnames of her closest known relatives (Parga, Lira, Aleman, Betancourt, Chavez, Chairez, Ramos, Ortiz, Ibarra, et. al.).

We are asking anyone who has any information about the five Parga Sisters born in the 1800s – Monica, Basilia, Feliciana, Josefa, or Sotera, or their spouses/partners or descendants, to please contact us at [email protected] with the subject “Ventura”.

The historical mini today has us looking at the disturbing life and crimes of Jesse Pomeroy, known as America's youngest serial killer. Listener digression advised throughout, however. What he had to endure as a child, and even more so what he inflicted on other children is not for the faint of heart. Truly depraved.

Justice for Heather Hanson ft. Carla Part 1-3 is out now on all podcasting platforms!!

We are joined by Carla Hanson as she advocates for Justice for her daughter Heather as she was killed 1/29/19 on the I-45 Interstate in Ellis County, Texas, by a driver who should NOT have been driving that day. Heather deserved the world and had a promising career and loving family with her, but her life was taken from her. Why as the driver who caused Heather's death not faced consequences yet? There is a lot in this case that doesn't add up, and we are going to dissect it all with Carla.

In the final part of our coverage of Heather Hanson's case, her mom has given us the opportunity to listen in on the police footage and I have included 4 separate recordings for us to listen too. First, is Officer Hernandez pulling over Carr for speeding (a mere few hours before his vehicle would collide with Heather's). Second and Third, are clips from former Police Chief Salazar. And Fourth, is Carr's interview at the station. What do you think about this case?? Thank you for trusting me with your daughter's case, Carla. And RIP Heather, you deserved the world, I'm so sorry it was taken from you.
