EPISODE 112: This one had me riled up.

When 31-year-old Patricia Jeschke didn’t show up for work one day, her mother went to her house and was met with the most gruesome crime scene cops have ever seen. Patricia was a strait-laced woman who spent most of her spare time at church and didn’t have an enemy in the world, so everyone was on edge. Police turn their attention to one woman who had no ties to the victim — yet she spent nearly half a century in prison. Why were police so determined to put her away? Well the batsh*t reason was revealed in July 2024 and it’s shocking, despicable and not their first time. This is the story of Sandra Hemme, America’s longest wrongfully convicted female prisoner, who was finally released last month.

EPISODE 111: In 2006, Elizabeth Shoaf got off her school bus in Lugoff, South Carolina and vanished. A huge search ensued. When hours turned to days, confidence in the outcome started diminishing... until a week later when her mom got a chilling text from a number she didn’t recognize. When US Marshals traced the phone number, they grew even more concerned and what they learned over the next 2 days is insane. This story will have you on the edge of their seat.

Spent the morning debating if I should put the 4th picture as the 1st...decided that wasn’t fair to y’all

EPISODE 109 The Tweed Creeper: In 2007, a string of bizarre break-ins started in the small town of Tweed, Ontario. The man, who became known as the Tweed Creeper, always stole the same thing: women’s underwear. Then the crimes started escalating and everyone was on edge when Corporal Marie France Comeau was murdered. Shortly after the murder, 27-year-old Jessica Lloyd went missing and when police set up a roadblock they discovered the most shocking suspect who led them to even more shocking evidence of his crimes

EPIOSDE 101: The Kurim Case
Trigger Warning - this episodes contains child abuse

On May 7, 2007, a man in the small town of Kurim, Czech Republic had just set up a new video baby monitor, but when he turned it on, he didn’t see his newborn baby. Instead, the signal had crossed with a neighbor and he saw probably one of the most horrific things you can imagine...Thank God for that faulty signal because this would finally expose the shocking crimes of the Mauerova sisters. This may be the darkest story we’ve ever covered but I just couldn’t get over the twists & turns.

Three days later, a hiker found her deep in Angeles National Forest face down in a stream with a log across the back of her neck. The creepiest part: all of her hair was cut off. The case goes cold for 3-years until a witness comes forward with a shocking (and infuriating) tale

Bonus episode 21: A double header! This bonus episode has two stories for your Patrons & Apple Subscribers

1) Gail Spencer: Gail Spencer was a 58 year old grandmother who worked as an office manager at a major law firm. In 2012, her neighbor came home to discover his dog was still out, even though Gail said she’d put him up for them. Gail was very responsible so he went to check on her and when she didn’t answer & he couldn’t get in, he called the cops for a welfare check. What the cops find is horrifying - who would do this to a grandma??

2) Janet Barnicoat - Janet grew up knowing she was adopted, but didn’t know anything about her birth parents or why they gave her up. In junior high, she started asking questions, so her parents sat her down and showed her a news article from 1981 about an abandoned baby. This leads her down a path with a shocking ending. This is yet another story that features renowned genealogist & PATW regular, CeCe Moore!

Stacie’s friend, Paul Powell, was arrested and when we talk about people being the worst, he’s up there. After sending taunting letters to the victims’ families & the prosecutor, it’s clear he thinks he is the smartest one in the room, but don’t worry, his actions lead to a new phrase we coined: “dip sh*ttery”.

Episode 89: In 1996, 18-year-old Angie Dodge was found murdered in her Idaho Falls, ID apartment. Fortunately, they had a perfect DNA sample. Unfortunately, things were mishandled. Someone was charged relatively quickly, but was it the right person? It takes over two decades (and CeCe Moore, duh) to find out & this story doesn’t end there. Listen to this case all the way through to hear the sad, shocking conclusion.

Their mother, Nikki, was found in her bathrub stabbed over 80 times after a very clear struggle. There’s no shortage of suspects but the evidence found at the crime scene tells a horrifying story no one expected.

🚨 EPISODE 86🚨Tanya Kach was going through a rebellious stage when her parents got divorced and her dad moved her to Mckeesport, PA. Middle school is a terrible time to be a new student and she struggled to make friends. She would often run away only to come home a few hours later and in February 1996, her dad and stepmom woke up to what they assumed was one of those days: Tanya was gone. Except this time, it would take over a decade for them to get answers and it was not at all what they expected

01/02/2024

EPISODE 85: Susie Newsom was born into a very prominent family in North Carolina. When she was in college, she met her future husband Tom Lynch. They got married, had two sons & Tom started his own dental practice. However, Susie was miserable and when the marriage fell apart, she started behaving differently, to say the least. After she sparked up a new romance with the most unlikely of people, Fritz Klenner (And I mean...very unlikely. You’ll see why...), things really started going south. How it all ends is incredibly tragic and will have you on the edge of your seat. There’s a reason this is referred to as the Bitter Blood Murders.
