Ellen J. Green: Murder in the Neighborhood
I talk a lot about how history repeats itself. This story, unfortunately, feels like it can happen today even though it’s actually 75 years old. Author Ellen Green wrote a book called: Murder in the Neighborhood: The true story of America’s first recorded mass shooting. We’ll be in 1949 East Camden, New Jersey and Green tries to answer: why the shooter did it and if anyone could have stopped him.

Rena Pederson: The King of Diamonds
We’re now digging into a real Texas story. We’re talking about a brazen jewel thief in the 1960s who burgled some of the wealthiest homes in Dallas. But he was an odd thief. Sometimes he took just one diamond earring, probably because he knew it would ruin the set. He would put down a towel so he wouldn’t sully an expensive chair by stepping on it. Who was this jewel thief? Author Rena Pederson unfurls the story in her book, The King of Diamonds: The Search for the Elusive Texas Jewel Thief.

One of the most interesting aspects of true crime is how we’re able to explore cultures and societies that are unfamiliar to us.

There are many twists and turns in this story, I promise.

There is a section of Fall River, Massachusetts spanning just two blocks, where several media-grabbing tragedies occurred over a century. These were not simple domestic disputes or deadly bank robberies, they were deaths that seemed so out of the norm that perhaps they were triggered by something other-worldly.

Wicked Words - Nic Edwards: The Delphi Murders
By now, most of you know the story of the Delphi murders. Actually, this wasn’t a case that I had kept up with. So that’s why this episode is interesting for me. My guest is Nic Edwards—he’s the host of the True Crime Garage podcast. He’s also an author. Nic wrote a book about the murders of Libby and Abby in 2017 called The Delphi Murders: The Quest To Find ‘The Man On The Bridge.’ He told me a lot of things about the case that I didn’t know.

Wicked Words - William J. Mann: Tinseltown
I love 1920s Hollywood…it was full of glitz, glamour, controversy and murder. William J. Mann’s wonderful book: Tinseltown: Murder, Morphine, and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood details the story of a mysterious, unsolved murder of film director William Desmond Taylor. Did Mann solve Taylor’s murder, 100 years later? Maybe.

Most of us know this, but women are just as capable of killing as men are. Yet most true crime stories cover men killing women, which makes sense, considering the statistics.
