Forgotten Felonies Podcast

Forgotten Felonies

Forgotten Felonies revisits historical crimes that were forgotten—or remembered incorrectly. It’s tempting, looking backward, to fill in the gaps with conclusions that feel obvious now. But that isn’t how history works. Through original newspaper reporting, period advertisements from the years the crimes occurred, and a blend of forensic psychology and genealogical research, each episode restores context to cases history left behind—asking not only what happened, but why. .

The Tomahawk "Tongue People" and the Murder of Lucinda Mills 20.04.2025

That did, after a...

Follow along as we tell the story and chase down the clues...
