EP 59 | Stranger Than Fiction: The Truth About The Crimes of Daniel LaPlante, Townsend, Massachusetts, with author Joe Turner

February 23, 2024 06:00 - 1 hour - 59.6 MB

This is the follow-up to the last two episodes. When I say "stranger than fiction" I mean it's so weird that you cannot make this shit up, yet lots of info shared online is just that, made up. He's the boy in the walls. That's part of the story. But what is the story? Like most cases I research for the show, it's never what it appears on the surface. There is always more to the story, more information to find, to dig into to tell the story properly. When I started to read about the Gustafs...

EP 58 | The Pepperell Prequel & The True Story of The Bowen Family Nightmare, Pepperell, Massachusetts

February 07, 2024 07:00 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MB

This is a bizarre case, not only for what happened to a Massachusetts family in the privacy of their home, but also how their story was reshaped and retold by urban legend and lore. This is the prequel: The Gustafson family story (EP 57) is far less known than that of the person responsible. That's part of the problem. Before Daniel LaPlante, a disturbed kid from Townsend, went on the run and was caught after a 24 hour manhunt, he was already the stuff of legend, "the boy in the wall." Tha...

Is Debra Melo in Taunton? So many of you are interested in Debra's story. Debra Melo is missing. This year marks 24 years that she disappeared. This is an important story to tell.  She did not just leave. There was no reason to walk away from her family, her daughter, her son.

She was making her way out and finally taking steps to get away from the person who'd been suffocating her for so long, a controlling and domineering man. But she disappeared before she cou...

The Lasting Legacy Of The Coconut Grove Fire, Boston, Massachusetts

Crime is history and sometimes history is crime. One single event changed the course of history. In 1942, the world was in the throes of the Second World War. The Great Depression created a kind of desperation Americans hadn’t seen and men and boys were shipping out by the droves.

EP 53 | Rita Hester & The Murder That Started A Movement, Allston, Massachusetts

November 17, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 48.8 MB

Chanelle Pickett and Rita Hester were murdered three years apart. Chantelle in 1995 in Watertown, Mass, and Rita Hester in 1998 in Allston. Both were brutal crimes. Neither of them got justice. The attitudes and the language around gay and transgender lifestyles were very different back then. How the media covered violence against transgender people was cruel, if they covered them all. As a result of the mistreatment they got even in death, their deaths were instrumental in the creation of t...

She was an innocent girl with a life full of promise and just two days away from returning to her new hometown of Greenville, South Carolina to begin 7th grade. It was not to be.

Thirty years ago today, 10-year-old Holly Piirainen was enjoying a lazy summer day with her family at their vacation cottage in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. What should have been an innocent visit with a litter of puppies nearby turned into a decades-long nightmare for her family. Holly disappeared. The only trace of her was one red sneaker.  She would be found two and a half months later in the nearby town of Brimfield, in the next county over. As we revisit the details of Holly's case, ...

EP 45 | Maura Murray Is Still Missing with Julie Murray on Engaging with Empathy with Families of the Missing & Murdered

July 07, 2023 10:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MB

This is about Massachusetts and New England crime, regional history, about the people, places, and things that happen here. Maura Murray is still missing. She was last seen on February 9, 2004 on a snowy back road in Haverhill, New Hampshire. Her story is a crime classic, a greatest hit in the gold catalog. I say that because of the nature of Maura’s case and the myths and mystery surrounding her disappearance, she has become like a character in a work of fiction. Her story has been “deep ...

EP 44 | What Happened To Andy Puglisi? Lawrence, Mass & The Suspects In His Disappearance (part two)

June 19, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 42.6 MB

Part two of two in the still-unsolved disappearance of 10-year-old Lawrence, Massachusetts boy Andy Puglisi who simply vanished from his neighborhood in the summer of 1976. Please go back and listen to part one before beginning this episode. Police searched for just six days before calling it off. That was the beginning of a 40-plus year mystery fraught with suspicions, slow response, and missed opportunities.  There were five known child predators at the pool the day Andy disappeared, poli...

EP 42 | Chaos On The Streets of Boston with Dave Wedge, author and journalist, on the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing

May 16, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 53.3 MB

Monday, April 15, 2013 stands as the most chaotic time in Boston's modern history and was the beginning of a traumatic four-day manhunt that shutdown the city. Two home-made pressure cooker bombs went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon twelve seconds apart, filled with enough nails and ball bearings to cause maximum damage. Three people were killed as a direct result of the explosions on Boylston Street that afternoon: 29-year-old restaurant manager, Krystle Campbell, 23-year-ol...

EP41 | Solved & Identified: Three New England Cold Cases - Patricia Tucker (Granby, MA), Katherine Alston (Bedford, NH), and Rita Curran (Burlington, VT)

March 21, 2023 13:00 - 47 minutes - 32.9 MB

This episode is a little different from the way I usually cover New England crime stories. I give you an update on three New England cases: two cold case murder victims were identified, and one cold case murder - the oldest unsolved murder in Vermont's history - was solved. Patricia Tucker, known since 1978 as "The Granby Girl" was found in that Massachusetts town, shot in the head. Her identity went unknown until now. Katherine Alston, The Girl on Kilton Road, found dead, weeks to months af...

In episode 40 (the second part I promised from the unreleased episode), I share the very emotional, complex, and disturbing case of the Clancy family of Duxbury, Massachusetts. This one definitely got to me. I do talk about self harm, mental illness, domestic violent and suicide and list resources below. In January, 32-year-old nurse and mother,  Lindsay Clancy, is believed to have killed her three young children - Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months -  while being treated for a postpar...

Ana Walshe, a 39-year-old working mother of three young boys is reported missing on January 4, 2023. But not by her husband, by her Washington, DC employer when they said she never returned to work after the New Year's holiday. A visit to her South Shore Massachusetts home in the coastal town of Cohasset sets off a string of events that leaves investigators highly suspicious of husband, Brian Walshe, and locals glued to the story. Ana was last seen in the early morning hours of January 1, 20...

EP 38 | Murdered For Her Baby: Darlene Haynes, Worcester, Massachusetts

January 12, 2023 14:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MB

It was a case of fetal abduction, cruelty, and murder that made international news with gory headlines like "Fetus Snatcher" and "Womb Raider" in the Summer of 2009 involving two former neighbors of a Worcester, Massachusetts apartment building. One woman in her early twenties, the other in her mid-thirties, both pregnant, both struggling. Each seemed to lean on the promise of a new baby to offer a glimmer of hope in their relatively ordinary existence. Darlene Haynes was a 23-year-old mothe...

EP37 | Elijah Lewis, Merrimack, NH & Unsolved Cases Of The Granite State

December 20, 2022 18:00 - 46 minutes - 32 MB

In October of 2021, a five year old boy was reported missing in Merrimack, New Hampshire after he hadn't been seen for over a month. Any missing child is an emergency. Or should be. Except his mother, whose custody he had been in for just over a year, wasn't who reported him missing. Why was Elijah Lewis even living with his mother at the time? And why did she want him gone? This is a difficult story about violence against a child.  I share information about other unsolved New Hampshire  c...

EP34 | Trial of the Century: The Murder of Gregg Smart, Derry, New Hampshire (part three)

October 24, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 45.3 MB

Part three of three in the series about Gregg Smart's murder and the trial that captivated the region (and the nation) in the winter of 1991. New Hampshire TV station WMUR 9 aired the Pamela Smart trial in its entirety. It was the beginning of our true crime obsession and illustrated how the media reshapes the narrative to often tell the story they want to sell. Court TV was born.  Gregg Smart is the forgotten victim in the crime of the century - as it has been called over and over given...

October 04, 2022 12:00 - 47 minutes - 32.5 MB

Part two in the series about Gregg Smart's murder and those who planned and carried out this plot to kill him. It's ridiculous to imagine anyone going through with such a ridiculous plan. Yet four teenagers from Seabrook, NH did at the behest of a 22 year old high school media coordinator. It is a sensational story and mesmerized the region for the better part of a year in 1990-91. Gregg Smart is the forgotten victim in the crime of the century - as it has been called over and over given i...

EP32 | Crime of the Century: The Murder of Gregg Smart (part one), Derry, New Hampshire

September 16, 2022 05:00 - 51 minutes - 35.5 MB

Gregg Smart is the forgotten victim in the crime of the century - as it has been called over and over given its history of firsts. Gregg was murdered on May 1, 1990. The 24-year-old insurance broker was shot dead in his home six days before his first wedding anniversary. At first, it looked like he'd  interrupted a burglary, because that's what the killers were told to make it look like. As the investigation wore on, it uncovered a plot rife with salacious headlines by a mastermind who was ...
