Every Town

💥Get the podcast version - https://www.buzzsprout.com/1235213It is ingrained in all of us, to appreciate natural beauty and all over the world there are places and towns that stick out for one reason or another. Aiken County, located near the mid-point of South Carolina's 250-mile border with Georgia, is famous for its lush gardens, hundreds of rare camellias, and thoroughbred horse racing. It’s...

On September 11, 2011, what seemed to be another bloody triple homicide case in the city of Waltham in Middlesex County, Massachusetts turned out to be not just another violent crime that some random killer mindlessly executed. The homicides, which almost decapitated Brendan Mess, Erik Weissman, and Raphael Teken, were entangled in a controversial mess that involved drugs, terrorism and the 2013 B...

"We thought it was a perfect marriage." Coming from their closest friends, these words may have been the ultimate compliment for Woodbridge Township, New Jersey couple William or Bill and Melanie McGuire. They were a lovely pair blessed with two beautiful boys and stable careers. But life can spring an unexpected surprise, and it was an alleged infidelity in the McGuires' case that shattered to tr...

Even a quaint town with a small population can be filled with the biggest pride just like Bardstown in Nelson County, Kentucky. In 2012, Bardstown was voted as "The Most Beautiful Small Town in America" in the Destination Marketing Association International's "Best of the Road" competition. It gave credence to the Visit Bardstown website’s description of Kentucky’s second oldest town as ”An atmosp...

Imagine it - you’ve got a special package that arrived in the mail! It’s attractively wrapped, and seems to contain something valuable. Perhaps, an expensive bottle of perfume? Tickets to a Caribbean cruise? Or the latest gadget you’ve been saving up for? Instinctively, you become excited to unwrap the package, leaving no room for any suspicion or fear, as the surprise just fills you with joy. In...

One day in 1994, a police officer arrested a juvenile, and the first thing he asked the teenage boy was “What’s going on?” He replied to the officer matter-of-factly, “I’ve had a bad day today…I’ve killed my whole family.” As if that wasn’t enough for a spring day gone wickedly awry, the boy had also kidnapped his prom date, bringing her along to his school where he held his entire Trigonometry cl...

In the U.S. state of New Mexico, one can find towns with unusual names such as Elephant Butte and Truth and Consequences. But few people know that in these towns there once lived a criminal with an equally unusual moniker - “The Toy-Box Killer.” He was an infamous American kidnapper, torturer, rapist, and suspected serial killer who executed his monstrous crimes right inside his trailer, known as...

To her neighbors, Dorothea Puente seemed almost saint-like. She opened her home to shelter society’s outcasts: the homeless, the mentally-ill, alcoholics, drug addicts, and even frail, sickly old people. She was known to provide meals and medical care for her marginalized tenants, gave out backyard vegetables to her neighbors, and adopted stray cats. How could her neighbors not admire the kind wom...

“Want me to give you a ride?” This 7-word solicitous question may sound like an offer to help that deserves appreciation. But for three young women in Cleveland, Ohio who accepted the ride, it was a decision they would regret for a long time. The invitation turned out to be a bait for a kidnapping spree perpetrated by Ariel Castro, a self-confessed sex and pornography addict. He abducted and impri...

It’s not uncommon for two people to share the same first and last names – and the only detail that doesn’t make their birth certificates identical is the difference in their middle names. Did you know that Hollywood actor Chris Evans shares his name with an equally popular English TV and radio personality? Two different “Michelle Williams’” made it big in show business – one as an Oscar-nominated...

Our public persona is what most people know and see, and it becomes the basis of how they love or hate us, and appreciate or judge us. What we tightly guard and don’t expose though is our private persona which harbors our deepest thoughts, obsessions and fantasies. Some fantasize about having the fame and wealth of Bill Gates or Beyoncé, the powers of a Marvel superhero, or feed their thoughts wit...

Twenty-one year old Massachusetts native Helene Pruszynski had always aspired to be a journalist, and had ventured to Denver, Colorado to pursue her dream.  She wanted to write the next big story, but in 1980, Helene herself became THE big story. She was abducted, sexually-assaulted, and murdered in a random act of unfathomable brutality.. Her story struck an emotional chord among many people beca...

American writer and literary critic Anatole Broyard once opined, “In an age like ours, which is not given to letter-writing, we forget what an important part it used to play in people’s lives.” In the 1970s, the ability to instantly communicate through e-mails, texting, or social media was still decades away, so people employed the use of paper and pen, the mailman, and mailboxes to stay in touch....

Do you want a respite from the hustle and bustle of your daily grind in the city? Close your eyes and imagine this: it’s a bright and cheery weekend, and you’re whiling away the day in the far northern edge of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range surrounded by vast lakes and verdant forests. After communing with nature, you retreat to a rustic cabin, and dine on fresh fish, local barbecued be...

Riverside, California (1994) – The “Toxic Woman”:  Conspiracy Theories Surrounding the Death of Gloria Ramirez In a previous era, the word ‘toxic’ primarily refered to poisonous waste, substances and chemicals.
