Life In True Crime – Live at the Berkshire Pod Fest

LanieLeave a comment

This special episode is a live recording from the Berkshire Podcast Festival, where I joined an incredible panel for Life in True Crime, moderated by Josh Hallmark from True Crime BS. Alongside me were Charlie Worrol from Crimelines, Robin Warder from The Trail Went Cold, and Robert Parmer from The Broken System Podcast.

During the session, we dove into the highs and lows of true crime podcasting, sharing the joys of storytelling, connecting with listeners, and uncovering cold cases. We also discussed our challenges in navigating sensitive content, managing the emotional toll, and maintaining ethical standards. It was a fascinating conversation about the unique world of true crime podcasts and our responsibility as creators.

This live discussion gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the true crime podcasting journey, including personal insights and experiences from some of the top voices in the genre.

Content Warnings:

Discussion of true crime cases, emotional impact, and sensitive subjects like violence and justice.

Kendall & Gwen Myers

LanieLeave a comment

Welcome back to True Crime Cases with Lanie! While Lanie takes a break to recover, Ayden from the podcast Susto steps in as guest host to bring you this week’s intriguing case.

This episode dives into a scandal that could be a subplot from Desperate Housewives. From everyday drama like secret affairs and neighborhood swingers’ parties to criminal enterprises hidden in plain sight, scandals come in all shapes and sizes. But what happens when a quiet, unassuming couple is revealed to be living a life of betrayal and crime?

Today’s case focuses on Kendall and Gwen Myers, a married couple whose seemingly ordinary life concealed a web of deception that left their neighbors shocked. Drawing on a detailed article from Washingtonian, this story takes twists you won’t want to miss.

It’s not about the Vodou

LanieLeave a comment

Religious and spiritual faiths and the practices associated with them are misrepresented ridiculously often – especially so if they deviate from the norm in, say, predominantly Christian communities. In these societies, anything not adhering to strict Christian principles has historically gained the label of “occult,” and any symbolism or practices under that label are demonized across the board. This is, in most cases, an entirely unfair assumption.

The Tiktok Murders: Mahek and Ansreen Bukhari

LanieLeave a comment

Social media platforms are designed to be addictive, and one far too common side effect of this is that many young people spend hours scrolling through their feeds, comparing themselves to others, and feeling inadequate. Conversely, though, social media sites also give individuals with narcissistic personality traits a chance to keep the focus of their profile’s content specifically on themselves. That is, showing themselves off in the most positive and enviable light possible.

The phrase “You can’t have your cake and eat it too” is an idiom that dates back several centuries. Its origins can be traced to the 16th century, although the exact phrase has evolved over time. Originally, the phrase appeared in different forms, such as “you can’t eat your cake and have it” or “you can’t have your cake and eat it.” The basic meaning has always been the same: once you consume or use something, you no longer have it to show off to others, removing the possibility of having everything exactly as one wants.

Charlottesville Unsolved: Pherbia ‘Faye’ Tinsley & Sage Smith

LanieLeave a comment

In 2020, the FBI had a shocking admission to make regarding the homicide clearance rates of police investigations across America. That year, they hit a record low, plummeting to under 50%, and it hasn’t bounced back since. This means that roughly half of all murders remain unsolved—an unsettling statistic, especially given the current surge in murders and violent crimes.
Content Warnings: unsolved cases, murder of a trans woman

If you want to help:
There is a $2500 award for any information leading to the arrest of Pherbia ‘Faye’ Tinsley’s murderer. Anyone with information is asked to call the police department at 970-3280 or Crimestoppers at (434) 977-4000.

If you or someone you know has any information on what happened to Sage Smith or the whereabouts of Erik McFadden, please call the anonymous Crimestoppers line at (434) 977-4000. There is a $20,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest.

Double Jeopardy

LanieLeave a comment

Welcome to True Crime Cases with Lanie, the podcast that deepens into captivating criminal mysteries. Today’s episode explores the intriguing concept of double jeopardy, a fundamental principle in legal systems worldwide. Double jeopardy generally ensures that individuals cannot be retried for previously acquitted charges. However, as we’ll discover, this law has exceptions and complexities.

We examine real-life cases where suspects were initially found not guilty but later faced retrial, resulting in their eventual incarceration many years after the original crimes. Join us as we unravel the nuances surrounding double jeopardy laws and delve into the circumstances that led to these unexpected outcomes.

But before we begin, a content warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including the murder of children and the rape/sexual assault of a woman and a teenager. Please listen with caution.

In other news, mark your calendars for the upcoming True Crime and Paranormal Podcast Festival in Austin, Texas, from August 25th to 27th, 2023.

The love triangle is a very popular trope in romance and young adult novels. The reader is driven throughout the story, wanting to find out whether our protagonist will choose the dark, brooding stranger or the warm and kind friend they’ve had since childhood. We’ve all encountered it in some form of popular media, and whether we love or hate it, it seems like it’s here to stay.

Influence of a Butterfly: Chaos Theory and a Murder Case

LanieLeave a comment

You’ve probably heard of the term “the butterfly effect.” It comes from chaos theory, the idea that something as small and seemingly insignificant as a butterfly flapping its wings could influence the path of a tornado that forms weeks later. Today, an appeal in Arkansas could have led to a retrial for a man who had been given a death sentence in Idaho a year earlier – after over 20 years of robberies, rapes, and murders.

Note: This episode discusses sensitive topics such as sexual assault, murder, sexual abuse, and the killing of minors. Please seek appropriate support if you are affected by these issues.

SPONSORS: Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, but indoor air could be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air, causing health risks.

The Carr Brothers

LanieLeave a comment

Wichita, Kansas, was a glorious snowy sight on the night of December 14th, 2000. The snow muffled all sound, and Christmas decorations twinkled warmly through the gloom… something that gave a faint glimmer of hope to a 25-year-old woman. The decorations shone as a light to guide her as she stumbled for nearly a mile across snowy grounds and over a barbed wire fence, freezing and severely injured, to seek help from anywhere and anyone who would offer it.

Stranger Than Fiction

LanieLeave a comment

It’s an almost laughable headline – “woman googles how to murder her husband.” Though the truth may be stranger than fiction, clickbait is precisely that – bait to get you to look at the story, a hook to spread it as far as possible so that news sites get as much traffic and, therefore, ad revenue as they can. But behind these humorous clickbait headlines are always stories of lives cut short and tragedies befalling people who just wanted to love and care for their spouses, only for them to turn around and commit the most permanent of all betrayals against them.

Content Warnings: This episode discusses mental health issues, manipulation, mentions of suicide

Love Bites: The Woodchipper Murder

LanieLeave a comment

Forensic science is always expanding and because of its complicated nature, scientists cannot get it right every time – no matter how hard they try, or how diligently they work. However, that isn’t to say there are no cases of intentional gross negligence and misconduct. Today, we look at a case that threatens the integrity of a prominent forensic scientist, and the ground-breaking case that helped cement that same scientist’s career.

Content Warnings: this episode contains a discussion of murder, assault on a pregnant woman, discrediting of an individual with mental illnesses, and investigative negligence/corruption.

North and South Dakota are both known for their large expanses of farmland, sleepy towns, and close-knit communities. According to Safewise, both states’ violent crime rates are lower than the national average, and their residents feel safer than in most other states. The biggest threat to North and South Dakotans usually isn’t murder—it’s people stealing packages from their front porches. But, sadly, murderous romantic entanglements can happen anywhere.

Content Warnings: murder, infidelity, brief mentions of suicide.

The World’s End

LanieLeave a comment

The city of Edinburgh, both above and below, is supposedly haunted by all manner of ghosts and ghouls. Though much of this remains a distant memory and fodder for ghost stories, tourists, and local schoolchildren, Edinburgh does have its very own tragedies from modern times. Even decades on, these events are still fresh in the minds of those who live there and throughout the rest of Scotland.

Content Warnings: sexual assault, violence against women, serial killer and rapist, mishandling of evidence

The Babysitter Killers

LanieLeave a comment

The innocent babysitter having to fend for herself and fight off or flee from a murderer in a house, either her own or the unfamiliar home of a family she works for, is a popular urban legend and the plot to many a teen slasher movie or campfire story… But sadly, as with most urban legends, it is a tale that does have some basis in reality, as we will see in the two cases covered in today’s episode. 

Content Warnings: unsolved murders, sexual assault, assaults against minors, negligent law enforcement

The Crimes of David Copenhefer

LanieLeave a comment

Digital forensics is an integral part of crime scene investigations. Its study includes any information that is stored in binary form – smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and more digital devices can all contain useful information for a criminal investigation. Clearly, digital forensics has come a long way from back in the eighties, when police didn’t know how to handle computers, let alone the data stored on them… but it had to learn how to walk before it could run.

Content Warnings: abduction, ransom, descriptions of fatal gunshot wounds, murder, mentions of child pornography.

Murderous Ministers Pt. 3

LanieLeave a comment

In the Christian Bible, the last five of the Ten Commandments are, “Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shall not bear false witness; Thou shall not covet.” For far too many religious leaders, things go downhill when they break the tenth commandment by coveting a female member of their church – and, all too frequently, this leads to adultery. 

Content Warnings: adultery, murder, abuse of power, religious trauma

Missing Moms

LanieLeave a comment

According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NAMUS), 600,000 people go missing every year. Thankfully, many of these children, women and men return home shortly afterward, but tens of thousands of individuals stay missing for over a year, with few – if any – leads to go on. Approximately 4,500 unidentified remains are found each year, as well. Yet, despite the serious nature of these cases of missing and unidentified persons, there are still people who will fake kidnappings and perpetrate hoaxes for their own gains on a regular basis – often at the expense of others.

Content Warnings: abductions & missing persons, unsolved cases, hoaxes, self-harm, adultery, racism.

Money Can’t Keep You Safe

LanieLeave a comment

For people who don’t come from money, wealthy people are an enigma. It’s easy to overlook the fact that wealthy people have problems, sometimes akin to our own issues. But, the victims in today’s cases highlight that no matter how much money someone has, you’re not always safe.

Christopher Gattis

LanieLeave a comment

You would never expect hell to be in the Appalachian mountains of Big Stone Gap, Virginia—and yet—that is exactly how the inmates of Wallens Ridge State Prison describe it. This “supermax” prison houses up to 1,200 of the United States’ most dangerous male criminals. When it first opened, Wallens Ridge was renowned for the violence it showed its inmates. Warning shots, rubber pellets, and stun guns were frequently used to scare and control their population. Christopher Gattis is one of those inmates. On Thanksgiving Day of 2017, Christopher shot and murdered his wife, stepdaughter, and stepdaughter’s boyfriend. Now, he is serving a life sentence at Wallens Ridge State Prison.

Content Warnings: familial murder, abusive prison conditions

Terri Williams X UpStairs Lounge

LanieLeave a comment

In today’s episode, we will talk about murdered members of the LGBTQIA community. Every attempt has been made to be culturally sensitive and to use the correct terminology. Any errors are completely unintentional. Each member of my team, myself included, considers themselves to be an advocate for the LGBTQIA community, and it is our fervent hope that we have treated these individuals with the dignity and respect they deserve.

We are covering the murder of Terri Williams and the UpStairs Lounge fire that claimed 32 lives.

Unfortunately, our LGBTQIA+ friends still need allies to help them defend against discrimination. Even today, many cis-gendered, heterosexual individuals believe that AIDS is a punishment from God for being gay. Violence against transgenders is still extremely high, particularly transgenders of color. For more information about how to be an ally, visit glaad.org For information about the dangers this community faces, please visit the Human Rights Campaign.

Murder & Movies

LanieLeave a comment

Although true crime has experienced a huge renaissance over the last several years, movies based on true crimes have been popular for decades. In the 1930s, many movies were made, based on prominent gangsters of the time, such as Al Capone, and Ma Barker. However, in the mid-30s, when the Hays Code was enforced, much of the drama was watered down. It wasn’t until the 1960s that violence became prevalent on the screen, and well-known movies based on true crime were made, such as In Cold Blood and Bonnie and Clyde. Of course, in the 1970s and 1980s, made-for-TV movies based on true stories became popular. Movies typically take some liberties about the crimes and often have to leave out important details, to avoid a movie that’s several hours long.

Juvenile Offenders

LanieLeave a comment

Welcome back to the TCFC podcast. In the United States, dating back to the Thirteen Colonies, approximately 364 juveniles have been executed by individual colonies, states, or the federal government, for crimes they were found guilty of committing. 22 individuals were executed between 1976 and 2005, for crimes committed when they were juveniles. In 1976, the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty, and in 2005, they ruled that juveniles could not be sentenced to death, as it was a violation of the 8th Amendment (1).

True Crime Convos on Spotify Greenroom: Mark Redwine

LanieLeave a comment

Mark Redwine is a 59-year-old man from Colorado who was convicted in October 2021 for the murder of his 13-year-old son, Dylan Redwine, in November 2012.

After flying to his father’s home for a court-ordered visit, Dylan sent several text messages to his mother and his friends before suddenly going silent on the night of November 18, 2012. It was the last time anyone would hear from him.

Mark Redwine contacted Dylan’s mother to ask if he’d heard from their son, which sparked a missing person case that would continue for the next several months. Throughout several interviews during this time, Redwine would have conflicting stories about Dylan in the hours leading up to his disappearance, sparking red flags with investigators.

In June of 2013, partial remains that were later confirmed to belong to Dylan were discovered not far from Redwine’s home. It wasn’t until 2015, however, that Dylan’s skull would be discovered by a pair of hikers, nearly five miles away from where the original remains had been found. The skull showed evidence of violence, and in 2017, Mark Redwine was arrested for Dylan’s murder.

During the lengthy trial process, which included years of delays due to, among other things, a global health crisis, the prosecution would go on to say that Redwine murdered Dylan in a fit of rage after his son confronted him about some compromising photos he’d found of Redwine, including him wearing women’s clothing, wearing a diaper, and consuming feces. 

Redwine was found guilty of second-degree murder and child abuse and sentenced to 48 years in prison.

Crime Of The Century

LanieLeave a comment

In June 1971, President Richard Nixon declared a war on drugs. The “war” increased the size, as well as the presence of federal drug control agencies. Nixon was also responsible for mandatory sentencing for drug offenses, and no-knock warrants. One of President Nixon’s top aides later said that the planning for the war on drugs began during the 1968 campaign when Nixon believed he had two “enemies,” the anti-establishment left and black people. The President couldn’t single out these two elements of society, but he could associate hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and let the media demonize these two groups. The President even made marijuana a Schedule One drug, the most restrictive class of drugs, which includes heroin. Marijuana was supposed to be reviewed by a special commission, which recommended decriminalization of it in 1972. The President refused to budge. Between 1973 and 1977, eleven states decriminalized it, and in October 1977, a Senate Judiciary Committee voted to decriminalize possession of up to an ounce of marijuana for personal use. However, parents became concerned about marijuana use, and with Ronald Reagan’s election as President, the drug war opened up full throttle.

The Broken Bever Brothers

LanieLeave a comment

Parricide or familicide is rare, although these types of cases get so much media, making them seem more common than they are. Most of these types of murders are committed by a single individual, and in many cases, the perpetrator commits suicide after murdering their family members. Today is a rare instance of two perpetrators, both male, who did not commit suicide…because they had plans to kill hundreds of people.  Okay…onto the show.

Dimebag – REPLAY

Darrell ‘Dimebag’ Abbott was one of the founders of Pantera. His life was tragically ended when a crazed fan stormed the stage. His delusions caused him to believe that Pantera was stealing his thoughts. Dimebag was a born and bred Texas musician who is still fondly spoken about in the Dallas music scene.

Males primarily carry out mass shootings. Females account for 4% of mass shootings in the US. Overall, women are less likely to commit homicide, period, with 10 to 13 percent of homicides in the US carried out by females. Women are also less likely to use firearms to carry out their homicidal impulses, with only 8 percent of firearm homicides committed by women (1). Today’s focus is on a woman who broke the norms in every way.

Victor Saldano was convicted of murder and sentenced to death for a murder he committed in Plano, Texas. His mental state has declined severely and it brings into question, should we reconsider the death penalty for those who experience a severe mental defect as a result of the isolation they experience on death row?

Deadly Home Invasions

LanieLeave a comment

In the first half of this episode, we discuss the unthinkable It’s terrible when a child loses his parents to violence. It is unthinkable to know a child witnessed the murder of his parents.

In the second half, we will discuss Halfways houses, formally known as residential reentry centers, serve various purposes. Halfways houses of any kind make many residents in the area nervous, and trigger the NIMBY effect – the Not In My Back Yard. Some halfways houses are focused on recovering addicts, as a transitional point between treatment and return to normal lives. Others are focused on mental health issues, and still others as a transitional point between incarceration and a return to society.

On a November night, in 1996, a reclusive, homeless Hispanic woman, named Sophia Torres, was walking to a friend’s home, around 10:00 at night. She took a shortcut through a dark park, but this decision cost her her life. With no leads, and no reason anyone would have to kill the shy woman, would her killer be found?

Sante & Kenny Kimes

LanieLeave a comment

The bond between a mother and child is a strong one. Most mothers would do anything for their child and vice versa. Some would even kill for their child. But what happens when a mother recruits her son to aid in her life of crime, which included offenses ranging from petty theft to murder? That is precisely what happened with today’s story about Sante and her son, Kenny Kimes Jr. A mother-son duo that became unlikely, yet dangerous criminals, taking the lives of at least three innocent people.

Listen to Criminal Conduct: On September 2nd, 2010, 24-year-old Michelle O’Connell broke up with her boyfriend, St. Johns County Sheriff’s Deputy, Jeremy Banks. Minutes later, she was dead.

The St. Johns Sheriff’s Office quickly ruled the case a suicide, without examining crucial forensic evidence or interviewing any key witnesses. A medical examiner ruled her death a homicide, yet other investigations failed to gain traction. Her boyfriend, Deputy Jeremy Banks was never charged and is still working as a St. Johns County Sheriff’s Deputy.

Years later, an amateur sleuth named Eli Washtock winds up murdered after investigating Michelle O’Connell’s death. What did he find out?

‘Criminal Conduct’ is an investigative true crime podcast series hosted by John Taylor and Javier Leiva. The hosts retrace the footsteps of Eli Washtock, the slain sleuth; picking up the investigation where he left off.
