Danger on Delmarva

Part 2 - We continue to hearken back to a time when hurricanes are given only numbers and not names, we will review the storm that became known as The Gale of 1878.  I often look at the events that I cover as events that have helped shape Delmarva as we know it, but that normally deals with how it impacted individual families and the community emotions see, thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs. While...

Harkening back to a time when hurricanes are given only numbers and not names, we will review the storm that became known as The Gale of 1878.  I often look at the events that I cover as events that have helped shape Delmarva as we know it, but that normally deals with how it impacted individual families and the community emotions see, thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs.

This episode will be Part 2 of a series that explores incidents that took place on the Eastern Shore of Delmarva throughout its history.  While the specific incidents took place in 1931, events that led up to it were generations in the making.  Matthew Williams was murdered by a mob.  Another man was murdered and left without his name.  No one has ever been tried or punished for these deaths.    C...

This episode will focus on some stories that have happy endings.  I know that many times when we turn on the news, go to a newsfeed or listen to a podcast, we expect the worst.  Today, we will look at events that turned from potential tragedies to eternal gratitude.   Contact Info:   DangerinDelaware@gmail.com   https://www.facebook.com/DangeronDelmarva     or search for @dangerondelmarva on Faceb...

This episode will review the death penalty sentence of John Thanos, convicted of 3 murders, armed robberies and kidnappings.  While Thanos himself did not want to file appeals, others filed ones on his behalf.  He was diagnosed with a mental health disorder, and doctors testified for both the defense and prosecution regarding his competency.  Did he truly know right from wrong?  If he wanted to di...

Today we will review the case of John Thanos, in this first of two parts.  He took 3 lives, kidnapped another 2, and shot another.  This is a very interesting case.  Admittedly, the crimes cross over from Delmarva, to Western Maryland, then back to Delmarva again, then back….  It shows how important cooperation between law enforcement agencies is.  It shows how childhood trauma stays with a person...

Two couples met in Ocean City, MD while on vacation for the Memorial Day Weekend in 2002.  The two couples were very different,  but they gravitated towards each other. Little did one couple know that they wouldn’t be leaving for home at the end of the weekend.  Today we explore the story of when the lives of Geney Crutchley and Joshua Ford collide with those of Bj & Erika Sifrit.  (Pictured - Jos...

Today we will explore the history of a little town named Delmar, which is both in Maryland and in Delaware.  It’s history shows the people of the town were resilient and strong, but it also shows how sometimes complacency can build up to a disastrous end, and how you need to see the big picture and look at the needs that you not only have today, but what you will need to continue to thrive.    Con...

In this episode, we will travel back in time to the turn of the century….no, not the one that happened around 20 years ago, but the one before that, where the West was wild but being tamed, where people lived with open secrets and regrets, and where a woman decided that if she couldn’t have her lover, her lover couldn’t have his wife. Then maybe, just maybe, he would come falling back into her wel...

Today we explore the sinking of SS Marine Electric and the sweeping reforms that were made by this accident, saving thousands of lives (literally one example is a total of 21,000 lives!) and becoming one of the most important investigations in US Maritime History.    Contact: DangerinDelaware@gmail.com (1) Danger on Delmarva | Facebook   or search for @dangerondelmarva on Facebook   Assateague Pon...

This is the second mini-sode for Danger on Delmarva.  This episode will cover the tragic deaths of 2 young people, a 17 year-old young woman who was on the cusp of adulthood and a 3 year-old girl who had barely had a chance to begin life.  Both were betrayed by people that they loved, and the thoughts of these actions can be truly heartbreaking.  Neither case has gone to trial yet, but arrests hav...

Today we explore the First State’s first serial Killer, Steven Pannell.  He still is a mystery, though what he did is infamous.  While some reported that he had a sometimes rocky relationship with his mother, what was described does not seem to add up to the sheer hatred he had for and need to control women.  This story was horrific then, and it still continues to be.  Let’s not forget his victims...
