True Crime BnB

Hello again, y'all, and thank you for being here for Episode 79! This week I have brought in a guest host who is one of my oldest friends--we went to college together in 1821! Okay, it was a few years after that, but we've literally been friends since I was 18. That was even before I started the BnB!! Buckeye Don bravely took on co-hosting duties today, and he brought us a hella interesting case....

Episode 78 is here, y'all! This week, I was lucky enough to be able to finish editing my collaboration with Courtney and Patrick from Evil Pudding Podcast, These two put together an amazing, detail-packed podast, and if you're not listening to them, you should be. I started off the episode with Installment #10 of Architect Mayhem. This week's Architect-gone-bad is a UK man who made his amazing Arg...

Hi, Crime Family, thanks for being here this week for this Just One B episode, with solo Beth telling the rough story of the murder of Cammi Leigh Ostwald, who was a 16-year-old Michigander from Clinton Township, which is a suburb of Detroit. She was a pretty typical teenager, but after a fight with her mom about an older boy, Cammi ran away. Cammi's family were frantic to find her and bring her h...

Welcome, one and all, it's Episode 76 here at the True Crime BnB--where the doors are always open and we always have a comfy spot to sit and talk about victims and survivors. This week, I was happy to be joined by Tiffany, half of the co-host duo from Cola City Crime, an amazing podcast out of South Carolina. Tiffany generously offered to be our bad guy this week, and she brought one doozy of a st...

Hello and welcome back, Crime Family! Thank you for being here for this special episode with my dear friend Carmen from Live, Laugh, Murder Podcast! Carmen has generously popped in to be the bad guy and tell us about the case of the horrible interrogation of Ryan Waller, who was arrested on suspicion of shooting his girlfriend Heather Quan in Arizona. But the facts of this case are even more horri...

Episode 74 is a wild ride, y'all! This week, Beth teamed up with Lyndon from "Murder at Bedtime with Lyndon" and the "Exiled Yellowbelly", and this episode is wild! The trans-Atlantic recording was less than stellar, so the sound quality leaves something to be desired, but I hope you will try to bear with us because the episode is worth it! Lyndon brilliantly covers the 2016 case of the so-called...

Welcome back, everybody, it's finally time to release Episode 73! We've had a bit of a hiatus, and things are a little bit different around the BnB this week. Beth is solo, except, as you'll find at the very end, in the bloopers. This week's episode covers a sad case I'm confident you've never heard before unless you're from the Schuylkill, PA area. Ruth Miller Coffey was in a loving, happy marria...

We made it, y'all! It's Friday! And episode 72 has something to pique the curiosity of just about everyone. Bailey takes us on a whirlwind trip up Interstate-75 starting in Daytona Beach, FL, through Atlanta, GA, and winding up in the woods of Wisconsin in an unsolved, mysterious disappearance. Timothy Michael Molnar was the kind of young man who had everything going for him, and his life seemed t...

Happy Friday, Crime Family! If your week has been anywhere near as hectic as ours, we will happily be your excuse to relax and pop open a cold one. In fact, we strongly encourage it! (You might need it after this one...) First up this week is Beth; who will tell you a tragic story of obsession gone wrong, Although the circumstance of what happened to Amy Lynn Boyer was considered a first in the in...

Friday is upon us again, which means that it's time for another campfire at the BnB. In (yet another) strange coincidence, we both brought stories that took place during the beginning of the 20th century. This week, Bailey tells the head-scratching tale of the Redpath Family, and the secrets that were kept in what is now referred to as The Redpath Murder Mansion in Montreal. The true events of one...

Welcome back to episode 68+1, Crime Family (we are a family-owned business, after all)! Today Bailey decided to celebrate Puss' surprise heritage (a Norwegian Forest Cat), by crushing our souls with the story of Benjamin Labaran Hermansen. Benjamin was a bi-racial teen living in Norway, who was raised to advocate for himself, and anyone else who needed a voice. This story will anger you, but also...

Hi, Crime Fam, and welcome back to week 68! This week Bailey takes us to Arkansas for the maddening murder of Beverly Carter, a Realtor who was just trying to satisfy some new clients who wanted one of her listings. Beverly's killers claimed they never meant to hurt her, but when you hear the story, you probably won't believe that any more than we do. Her family set up a foundation in Beverly's na...

This week's Episode 67 explores two stories that involve betrayals, although they're not the type of betrayals that usually appear in this podcast. Beth takes us to Americus, Georgia, where the murder of Margaret Leigh Bell is unlikely to ever be solved because so many mistakes were made when the case was still warm. Leigh's case was a suggestion from my friend Brian, and I hope that he and others...

Welcome, Crime Family, we're glad you're here! This week has two tough narratives, but as always, we will leave you with a positive outcome for our survivor! Beth starts us off with a case that hit Benton County, Washington like a bomb in 2004. King Robert Mars II, who was known by all as Bob Mars, was a beloved teacher, coach, volunteer, mentor, son, brother, husband, and father. He would do anyt...

In our maiden podcast, Bailey tells the story of the Weiss Market Massacre in Pennsylvania, and Beth recounts the redemption story of the little boy who saved his family in Scotland. POST NOTE: The original edit of this episode was so bad that we re-edited it and are reloading it. It's still our first episode, so please don't judge too harshly!! You live and you learn, y'all!

Hi there, Crime Family, welcome back, to Episode 65! This week Bailey covers the stories of two women who were both found murdered in the Indianapolis, Indiana, now-demolished Claypool Hotel during the mid-20th century. Maoma Ridings was a friend to Franklin Delano Roosevelt as well as a Corporal in the Women's Army Corps in 1943, and was the victim of an unsolved homicide on the 7th floor. Doroth...

Episode 64 is a shorter one, but centered around two amazing people who had some really bad things happen to them. Bailey starts us off with the unsolved murder of Judy Smith. Judy was a wonderful human, a Bostonian who had a happy family life and an important career at which she excelled. On a trip to Philadelphia, Judy just....vanished. There were sightings of her between Philadelphia and Boston...

Happy almost-April Fool's Day at the True Crime BnB, to our little crime fam! After the last few episodes, you're probably looking for a little bit of a break....but you've come to the wrong BnB if that's what you're after. In fact, Bailey is so far from giving us a break that she has found a heartbreaking and maddening case from one of the safest cities in the world: Reykjavik, Iceland. Birna Brj...

Hello and welcome back to our dear Crime Family, we're glad you're here! We're flipping the normal roles this week, with Beth taking the first part of the episode. The setting was Washington State in 1977, and 24 year old Susan Schwarz was being, as always, a very good friend. When her longtime BFF intimated that she wanted to get away from her abusive husband, Susan helped her escape to Minnesota...

Céad Míle Fáilte (100,000 welcomes) Crime Fam, how was your pre-St. Patty's week? If you had a rough one, like we did, do yourself a favor and listen to this episode, because afterward you will remember how much worse things could be. Bailey is our bad guy with the sad story of Lucie Turmel, a sweet young woman in Banff, Alberta, who was just trying to make a living when she senselessly and tragic...

Hi, thanks for stopping by the BnB! This week, we have two wildly different stories, and both of them just left us shaking our heads! Bailey starts things off with the suspicious death of Christian Andreacchio in Mississippi. There was a LOT of weird stuff happening before, during, and after Christian was found deceased, and the fact that authorities immediately ruled it as self-harm does not answ...

Welcome back, Crime Family, we're glad you're here! This week, Beth brings back installment 9 of Architect Mayhem, with the tragic death of visionary Graham Downes. Graham was a South African Bauhaus-style Architect who transformed San Diego, California, but was cruelly killed by an insecure employee. Bailey lifts up the second half of this episode with the survivor story of Kirby Morrill, a Canad...

Friends, colleagues, and Crime Family--what do you get when a serial rapist isn't put away with hard time? You get two senseless and infuriating murders (at least--maybe more) of Swedish women, who each had their whole lives left to live. Bailey will bring you the stories of Engla Högland and Pernilla Hellegren, who both deserved better, but who were stolen from their lives by the same disturbed m...

Hi, Crime Family, happy to see you back this week! This week was Valentine's Day, and in dishonor of the holiday, we are bringing you not one....not Two....but THREE loves gone wrong. And wrong in ways that that average person can't even fathom. Bailey starts us out by telling the story of Gregory Green, who killed his pregnant first wife Tanya Clayton Green. Against the odds, he then was entruste...

This week for Episode 56, we are taking you on vacation! Just to clarify, the first half of this first episode of Pod Year Two is the story of an island paradise that was tainted by modern crime. Beth is bringing you the story of Italian tourists Dahlia Saiani and Giorgia Busato, who were regular visitors to the Island of Sol in the Cabo Verde archipelago. These two women, along with a 17 year old...
