Episode 73; Ruth Fern Miller Coffey

Welcome back, everybody, it's finally time to release Episode 73! We've had a bit of a hiatus, and things are a little bit different around the BnB this week. Beth is solo, except, as you'll find at the very end, in the bloopers. This week's episode covers a sad case I'm confident you've never heard before unless you're from the Schuylkill, PA area. Ruth Miller Coffey was in a loving, happy marriage with William Coffey, III. They truly adored one another, and Ruth supported Bill in every way possible. She was one of the few people who stood by him during his seizures that were started after a head injury during the Vietnam War. And although everyone could see Bill's love for Ruth, his depression over the limitation on his life drove him to a point of intense darkness and violence. Please hear this story with an open mind, because although what happened was inexcusable and horrific, it's also true that Bill was a victim of factors beyond his control. Thank you for joining Beth in her solo journey today to remember and memorialize the Coffeys. Have a glass of wine, and let's talk about Ruth and Bill. Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays. . . . . .

Episode 72; Timothy Michael Molnar and Survivor Laura Palumbo

Esplicito
We made it, y'all! It's Friday! And episode 72 has something to pique the curiosity of just about everyone. Bailey takes us on a whirlwind trip up Interstate-75 starting in Daytona Beach, FL, through Atlanta, GA, and winding up in the woods of Wisconsin in an unsolved, mysterious disappearance. Timothy Michael Molnar was the kind of young man who had everything going for him, and his life seemed to be moving in a positive direction. But one day, he just vanished, apparently of his own volition, and later ended up in Wisconsin, under mysterious circumstances, and leaving many, many questions. Beth follows up with a survivor story that goes in a lot of directions to illustrate how some bad choices can take a nice, responsible person and turn them into a really bad one. Laura Palumbo thought she had a good guy in former Iowa State defensive All-Big-8 football player Lester Williams, but as she decided not to let his increasing chaos be the center of her life, he jumped right into the deep end and tried to take her with him. This story is one of lost potential, lost love, and an incredibly strong woman who took her experience and decided to use it to help other people who needed her. We can't thank you enough for being here with us again this week! You are the best, and we love you! See you next time here at the BnB! . . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.

Episode 71; Amy Lynn Boyer and Ellen Halbert

Esplicito
Happy Friday, Crime Family! If your week has been anywhere near as hectic as ours, we will happily be your excuse to relax and pop open a cold one. In fact, we strongly encourage it! (You might need it after this one...) First up this week is Beth; who will tell you a tragic story of obsession gone wrong, Although the circumstance of what happened to Amy Lynn Boyer was considered a first in the internet era, the underlying root of her story is unfortunately all-too-familiar. Next, Bailey brings us the incredible survivor of a brutal home invasion; Ellen Halbert. This one will send a shiver down your spine, and is admittedly graphic, but the strength that Ellen showed in the aftermath of her attack will certainly warm you back up. We've already loaded up the coolers with an assortment of options; so, all that's left to do is choose your favorite drink and sit back. . . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.

Episode 70; The Redpath Murder Mansion and Justice for Clara Lauduskie Slade Blackwell

Esplicito
Friday is upon us again, which means that it's time for another campfire at the BnB. In (yet another) strange coincidence, we both brought stories that took place during the beginning of the 20th century. This week, Bailey tells the head-scratching tale of the Redpath Family, and the secrets that were kept in what is now referred to as The Redpath Murder Mansion in Montreal. The true events of one evening, that the surviving family members continued to refer to as "the accident", may never be known. Beth's story brings us a survivor, who isn't our normal survivor....in fact, he's the bad guy. But the story is about so much more than that, and we choose to celebrate the survivor of HIS abuse, who was able to escape because of social change; and one damn good little brother. Bring some marshmallows and a pointy stick; we'll provide the spiked hot chocolate. . . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.

Episode 69; Benjamin Labaran Hermansen and Richard Morton

Esplicito
Welcome back to episode 68+1, Crime Family (we are a family-owned business, after all)! Today Bailey decided to celebrate Puss' surprise heritage (a Norwegian Forest Cat), by crushing our souls with the story of Benjamin Labaran Hermansen. Benjamin was a bi-racial teen living in Norway, who was raised to advocate for himself, and anyone else who needed a voice. This story will anger you, but also give you hope for future generations. Beth takes us to Northern Mississippi with Richard Morton, whose wife was convicted in a scheme to have him murdered. Richard survived, and decided for himself what the rest of his life would look like. So buckle up, Crime Fam, and join us in saluting Puss' heritage; we normally ask you to grab a beverage, but just for today...maybe consider a tuna. . . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.

Episode 68; Beverly Carter and Jayde Logan

Esplicito
Hi, Crime Fam, and welcome back to week 68! This week Bailey takes us to Arkansas for the maddening murder of Beverly Carter, a Realtor who was just trying to satisfy some new clients who wanted one of her listings. Beverly's killers claimed they never meant to hurt her, but when you hear the story, you probably won't believe that any more than we do. Her family set up a foundation in Beverly's name to help Realtors safer when showing houses. To access educational materials related to safety and situational security for Realtors and other people who make 'house calls', please visit https://beverlycarterfoundation.org/ Beth tells the story of Jayde Logan of Newport, South Wales. In 2020, Jayde was an exceptional young woman, trying to live her best life, when serendipity put her in the crosshairs of an unhinged, jealous woman. This person attacked Jayde with a hammer in the street, in front of many people, leaving her with scars, headaches, and understandable mental trauma. But Jayde lived, healed, has returned to living her life, and after the head injuries she received, that's a wonder in and of itself.

Episode 67; Leigh Bell and Survivor Kimberly Morton

Esplicito
This week's Episode 67 explores two stories that involve betrayals, although they're not the type of betrayals that usually appear in this podcast. Beth takes us to Americus, Georgia, where the murder of Margaret Leigh Bell is unlikely to ever be solved because so many mistakes were made when the case was still warm. Leigh's case was a suggestion from my friend Brian, and I hope that he and others who remember Leigh's story are satisfied that we did right by her. Because she has never had justice, and her family has suffered since 1979, when the amazing 15 year old was brutally taken from them. Bailey follows up with the survival story of a woman who was treated like family by her neighbors, but some families are not what they appear, and some people are very good at hiding their evil. Kimberly Morton was starting her life and had so many exciting new things happening, and she couldn't wait to share it with her closest friends. But one of them had a secret, and when he finally let it out, he found out that Kimberly was stronger than he expected. She took her experience and set out to make a difference, and that's exactly what she has done. So when we recorded this, Beth had pinkeye, and because of her blurry vision, she was having a really hard time reading what she had typed...leading to great confusion for Bailey. But no worries, Bailey is a good little editor and made it comprehensible. Thank you all so much for being here with us at the BnB this week, and please join us again next week for Episode 68!

Episode 66; Bob Mars and Survivor Holden White

Esplicito
Welcome, Crime Family, we're glad you're here! This week has two tough narratives, but as always, we will leave you with a positive outcome for our survivor! Beth starts us off with a case that hit Benton County, Washington like a bomb in 2004. King Robert Mars II, who was known by all as Bob Mars, was a beloved teacher, coach, volunteer, mentor, son, brother, husband, and father. He would do anything to help or guide a kid in the right direction, but it was this generosity of spirit that put him in harm's way. He tried to be helpful, and was killed by two teenaged boys who took advantage of his kindness but were really just looking to do some damage. Bailey introduces us to Holden White, an 18-year-old Lafayette, Louisiana man who was just looking to start his adult life and meet someone. A date he had talked to on Grindr for a month turned out to be a predator, and Holden barely survived their first meeting, Even as he healed in the hospital, he was marginalized by the law enforcement officers who were supposed to be investigating his case. Thankfully, he demanded change, and got it. We can't thank you enough for your support and for listening. You all are truly the best! Love you, talk to you next week! . . . . . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.

Episode 65; The Claypool Hotel Murders and Survivor Johanna Orozco-Fraser

Esplicito
Hi there, Crime Family, welcome back, to Episode 65! This week Bailey covers the stories of two women who were both found murdered in the Indianapolis, Indiana, now-demolished Claypool Hotel during the mid-20th century. Maoma Ridings was a friend to Franklin Delano Roosevelt as well as a Corporal in the Women's Army Corps in 1943, and was the victim of an unsolved homicide on the 7th floor. Dorothy Poore was an 18 year old who was on a trip to Indianapolis to find a clerical job, but was found days later stuffed into a dresser drawer on the 6th floor. That crime was supposedly 'solved.' but Bailey has her doubts about whether they caught the real perpetrator. Beth follows with the survival story of Johanna Orozco-Fraser, a high school senior who had already had a difficult life and then was put through a crime so cruel and traumatic that it took her years to be able to look at herself in the mirror again. But Johanna was strong and made the decision that she would choose to be content with her life, and when she found that peace, happiness found her. This case is a tough one because the man who tried to kill Johanna was the man she had once loved with all her heart. Thank you for being here with us today!

Episode 64; Judy Smith and Survivor Angelique X

Esplicito
Episode 64 is a shorter one, but centered around two amazing people who had some really bad things happen to them. Bailey starts us off with the unsolved murder of Judy Smith. Judy was a wonderful human, a Bostonian who had a happy family life and an important career at which she excelled. On a trip to Philadelphia, Judy just....vanished. There were sightings of her between Philadelphia and Boston, but where she was found five months later, 600 miles away in Mount Pisgah, North Carolina, hint at an ominous sequence of events that nobody really knows for certain. Beth follows up with the survivor story of Angelique X. Angelique is an Australian woman who was held captive for three years in her teens and tortured by the monster who kept her there by way of manipulation and lies. When she met an amazing person in 2017, he decided he had no choice but to free her from her nightmare. Angelique got away, and she and her friend will always be besties, because she knows he saved her. In the bloopers this week, Beth shows that sometimes she can be, as her grandma used to say about other, unnamed people, "dumb as a box o' rocks." We are as always, so grateful that you've stopped by! We've set up chocolate bunny shots on the bar in the BnB parlor, and you are welcome to help yourself before we sit down and get started. Need to know how to make chocolate bunny shots for when you get home? Of course! You need: --6 hollow chocolate bunnies, heads nibbled (or cut) off, chilled (if you want, you can break the heads into pieces to garnish the cocktails, or mortise them so the ears hang off the side of the body. Creepy, but YUM) --4 oz vodka --6 oz Baileys --6 oz Kahlua Shake or stir the alcohol together and pour into the bunny bodies. These can be kept in the refrigerator for a while, if needed. If you don't garnish with bunny heads, or even if you do, you can top with canned whipped cream. Enjoy! Please share these, because if you have them all yourself, you will be so-so-so sorry tomorrow.
