This Monday on Ghosts of the Gazette: we’re hanging out in the news stories of 1957! Kendra shares the shocking story of Edward Leon “Pete” Williams, whose violent crime spree began in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and led to the tragic murder of young pastor Tommy Robert Cooke after stealing his car. Blake heads to California, where the mysterious “Friday Afternoon Bandit”—later identified as William Liebscher—kept San Francisco-area banks on edge as he repeatedly struck and slipped away, until investigators finally caught up with him.

Every other Monday, we dig into fascinating stories from the past — all originally reported on the exact same date (though many years ago) as the episode airs. It’s history, headlines, and a touch of mystery, all rolled into your new favourite podcast.
