The Housewife Did It

In 1960, one woman named Lois, escaped from 30 year old David Carpenter after he lured her into the woods and began to attack her. She was lucky that a military patrol officer was nearby and caught him in the act. Carpenter was arrested and served a total of 14 years in prison. He was released in 1979 and that is where the bulk of our story will pick up today. Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and T...

When the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette hired Mary Lee Orsini in 1967, I’m sure they never could have imagined the number of articles they would eventually produce about her, her husband, and her lawyers, some of which are still coming out in the 2020s. But it’s likely that no one who knew Mary Lee Orsini prior to 1981 could have guessed what she was capable of. Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Thre...

Gerard John Schaefer ended up on the police’s radar for the first time in 1972 - or at least for the first time as a suspect.

He was fired and charged with aggravated assault, but would spend the next 6 months living...

After years on trial and then in prison (specifically on death row for Damien), for the murders of three 8 year old boys, Jason, Jessie, and Damien had not given up. Not only were they still working to be free and clear their own names, but they were actively involved in trying to solve the case. In 2011, they’d have the opportunity to be free but not to officially clear their names. Follow us on...

After their arrests, Damien, Jason, and Jessie were prepared for trial. The county bought them suits, so they wouldn’t have to undergo trial in their prison jumpsuits. Damien and Jason would be tried together, but first Jessie would be tried on his own. Much like their questioning during the investigation, the trial would focus heavily on the idea that the three teens killed Stevie, Mike, and Chri...

Early on in the case, the West Memphis police had narrowed down their persons of interest, and abandoned any other options. In a small town like West Memphis, Arkansas (with a population of about 27,000 next to its neighboring city of Memphis, at 620,000), everybody seemed to know everybody. Investigators knew of a teenage boy that they had always been wary of and who they thought might do somethi...

On November 16th, 1957, Plainfield, Wisconsin’s Deputy Sheriff Frank Worden entered his family’s hardware store at 5:00 pm, expecting to see his mother, but instead he found an empty store.
