Macabre Emporium

This week, Sarah takes you on a little trip to Vermont to visit Wilson Castle.

In this episode, Sarah goes over the case of Joel Guy Jr. and how he went from being in a prestigious school, working towards becoming a plastic surgeon to sitting in prison with 0 chance of ever being freed.

This week, David brings us a true-crime/origins story about the Miranda warning and rights. Before 1966, law enforcement went more by suggestion than by actually telling you your rights when being detained or under arrest.

This week, Sarah gives us a (very) short case of a man that was able to get away with murder (for a short time) due to the absolute stupidity of one Sentinel agent. Remember kids, when you have a job to do - do it the way you're trained to, not the lazy way. Find our socials here: https://linktr.ee/macabreemporiumpodcast

In this episode, Sarah goes over the case of Ellen Greenberg. A beautiful, young woman, who had a lot going for her, only for her to commit....suicide? I’m not so sure about that.

With the 250th birthday of the United States, or should we say, the anniversary of the founding of America? Anyhow! Did you know there were two Freedom Trains? We didn’t, so this week, David is telling us about the Freedom Train in 1947. Most people know about the 1976 Bicentennial train, but very few know about this first one, shortly after WW2.  Find all of our socials here: https://linktr.ee/ma...
