Episode 701- Meaningless Mutilation Murders – Farmington, New Mexico

This week in Farmington, New Mexico, finding a tow truck driver’s phone near a murder victim out in the desert, leads to a trove of evidence. This all helps in solving many more murders, over the previous couple of years. The serial killer turns out to be a local, who has parents that are related to each other and is obsessed with knives and swords. But the even crazier part is that he has two different accomplices! A horrifying tale of serial murder and downright stupidity.

Alabama woman, 65, shot and killed husband, 69, because he was annoying, prosecutors say

“She reportedly revealed that her husband kept coming into her room and irritating her, so she grabbed a handgun and waited for the next time he returned. 

When he never did, Sheri allegedly went looking for him and fired a shot into his chest after finding him in a recliner. The handgun was later recovered by deputies.”

Which serial killer am I thinking of?

I'm re-watching the Netflix documentary on the LISK caw right now and every time I hear about this case I remember another documentary I saw a while ago that I always get mixed up with this case. Can anyone tell me which it is? I think it's unsolved. It was in the USA and there were around four female victims who were all found bound (I want to say hogtied but maybe just hands) and dumped in drainage ditches. They weren't skeletonised as far as I remember. Have I dreamed it?

The Hidden Murderer - Fairbanks, Alaska

This week in Fairbanks, Alaska, a young woman is found horribly killed in a college dorm's shared bathroom. This causes the dorms to empty out and a massive investigation to be launched. After being unable to arrest any of the suspects, the case goes cold. Until new technology, and ancestry databases, make it possible to link the killer's DNA to the scene. It turns out to be someone that detectives barely gave a second thought, who has been hiding in plain sight working an unlikely career. Has he also continued his killing ways?

Just My Imagination - Howland Township, Ohio

This week in Howland Township, Ohio, a popular local man is brutally murdered in his own home, leading the investigation to his ex-wife who he was still living with and sleeping with. Detectives really want to talk to his wife's new, MUCH younger boyfriend, who just got out of prison. Luckily, there is a treasure trove of letters and audio recordings that show a clear murder plan forming. But was that all a fantasy, and the real killers are actually ex-felons that the victim would hire to work for him? A crazy tale of betrayal and greed.

Looking for an episode

Yay! Yay indeed fellow listeners.

Hoping someone can help me track down an episode. Happened in the Midwest - I know state lines were crossed by the other state was right there. Police were useless, the husband did more to find his wife who went missing from a bar. Husband was named maybe Alex or Adam.

There may have been a game warden involved?

Appreciate you fellow turkeys!

Submitted this crazy case from my hometown to the guys...

I know they just did a Massachusetts case, but it got me to thinking about a bonkers case that happened about 20 years ago in the town where I spent my adolescent/teen years.

Bare Cove Park Murders

It kind of ticks off all the "crazy" boxes: lame-ass white supremacist gang, showing off the severed hand of one of the victims at a party....and just the fact that this happened in Hingham, which is a SUPER expensive, very old school New England town (there were still affordable, blue collar neighborhoods when I lived there, but that's long gone now).

Anyway, thought it might be of interest to peeps here.

Alex Murdaugh sentence overturned

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cedpvnq7wn1o

"In a 5-0 ruling, the South Carolina Supreme Court said Murdaugh deserved a new trial because the local county clerk had unfairly biased a jury against him. "

Was this covered in a Patreon??I feel like it has been but I'm not sure. Anyway, I imagine most of us turkeys know about this case....

My favorite small town festival is next weekend

A quick explanation, Cheerwine is a cherry soda that was created in North Carolina in 1917, it’s sweeter and fizzier than most sodas but I love it and James has said multiple times both in episodes and on stage that he is a fan as well.

The town it was created in decided in 2017 to hold a street festival downtown to celebrate the 100th anniversary and it was so successful they made it a yearly event (except 2020 for obvious reasons) that has grown bigger each year, to the point they had to start shutting down more streets to fit all the vendors and last year they added two beer gardens.

Companies and food trucks go all out with Cheerwine themed items and foods, from Cheerwine snow cones to Cheerwine birria tacos. Even the local Krispy Kreme will some years do special Cheerwine doughnuts. It is the quintessential small town festival experience in my opinion and I keep hoping they’ll do a case near the town so they can talk about it in the things to do.
