The case is open, and the child's identity is still unknown.It was February 1983 when two men entered the basement of 5635 Clemens Avenue, a derelict and vacant apartment building in northwest St. Louis, and stumble upon a grisly scene that would haunt the authorities and the community for years. The 40th year anniversary is upon us, and a St. Louis local is fighting to get St Louis’ Jane Doe, known as Precious Hope, not only her name but the justice she deserves.

Earlier this month, Cam and Jen sat down with John Palmer and discussed the tragic accident that took his wife Katie's life. ​April 21st, 2020, in Denison, Texas, situated on the border of Oklahoma. Thirty-eight-year-old Katie Palmer decided to take an early morning walk with her husband, John Palmer, hoping to see the nesting spot for a bird known as a killdeer.As the couple was returning home, they walked along Glenwood Drive at 7:45 A.M, on the left-hand side, facing the traffic, as pedestrians are supposed to do in Texas. Glenwood Drive also did not have dividing paint lines; it’s just an open road where drivers know to stay on their side. It’s wide, it’s flat, and there is nothing on it to hinder a person’s view. The sightline is over 600 feet, and the maximum speed limit is 30 miles per hour.​About 1/5th of a mile from their home, a Ford F-250 pickup truck crossed from the right-hand side of the road to the left-hand side of the road and struck Katie and John as they were walking. The vehicle struck Katie and Josh with such force that it knocked them out of their shoes. Katie landed 75 feet away, and John landed 70 feet away. For a little context, 75 feet is equivalent to the height of a six to seven-story building. Katie wouldn't survive.The driver of the truck, a neighbor named Cory Foster, has a driving record filled with DUIs, speeding, and reckless driving, yet he was able to walk away from this scot-free. Everything about Katie's case has been mishandled. Trust us, it will get your blood boiling. Thank you to John Palmer for coming to the show. We know the road to justice is exhausting, but we will stand beside you in your journey and fight.Please go to the following links for more information and updates on Katie's case.Justice For Katie Palmer Facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/groups/369021997579713Justice For Katie Palmer websitehttps://justiceforkatiepalmer.com/Justice For Katie Palmer on Twitter@for_palmerIf you would like to donate in Katie's name:The Katie Palmer Project: https://katiepalmerproject.com/ Hagerman National Wildlife Reserve: https://friendsofhagerman.com/Donate/ Learn more about your ad choices.

As little kids, we are scared of monsters and things that go bump in the night. We hear stories about big scary, hairy creatures that would get you if you weren’t being good. You had to always be aware of your surroundings and, of course, beware stranger danger. We grow up and imagine that bad guys are like the ones in the movies. But what if the monster was nothing like that, what if they were kind and helpful. What if they were your good friend? What if the monster was hiding in plain sight?Join Jen and Cam on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled "Hiding in Plain Sight: Henry Wallace."Listener Discretion by @octoberpodVHSMusic/Ep @wetalkofdreamsSources: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/bad-henry-charlotte-serial-killer-profiled-in-true-crime-show/275-577104511https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8640728/https://www.the-sun.com/news/5322262/where-henry-louis-wallace-now/https://www.bustle.com/p/the-true-crime-doc-bad-henry-explores-a-terrifying-serial-killer-case-targeting-young-black-women-9845925http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1998-06-07/news/9806070222_1_prison-nurse-louis-wallace-killerhttp://www.crimemagazine.com/serial-killer-cops-ignored-henry-louis-wallace-murdershttp://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/07/24/taco-bell-strangler-detective-speaks-out-about-infamous-case-in-new-documentary-there-are-still-wounds.htmlhttps://abcnews.go.com/2020/families-victims-serial-killer-henry-wallace-remember-loved/story?id=84543063https://www.aetv.com/real-crime/henry-louise-wallace-victimshttps://murderpedia.org/male.W/w/wallace-henry-louis.htmhttps://pages.charlotte.edu/ccoston/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/Henry-Louis-Wallace-ccrime-library1.pdfhttps://www.newsobserver.com/entertainment/tv/warm-tv-blog/article261357452.htmlhttps://people.com/crime/serial-killer-henry-louis-wallace-case-explored-on-20-20/ Learn more about your ad choices.

On September 20th, 2014, dog walker Barbara Denham entered the walled graveyard of St. Margaret of Antioch church in Barking, London. She saw a young man sitting up against the cemetery wall amidst the ruins of the old abbey. As Ms. Denham approached, the young man never reacted or indicated that he heard her or the collie. Hesitantly, she walked over and found that twenty-one-year-old Daniel Whitworth was dead. Ms. Denham immediately phoned the police saying, “I was the same woman that found the other body a few weeks ago. I found another young boy.”Join Jen and Cam as they talk about how the murderous and lascivious behavior of Stephen Port would go unchecked by authorities. The investigation has been described as "One of the most widespread institutional failures in modern history" In fact, had it not been for the sisters of his last victim, Jack Taylor, he would have likely continued killing.Thanks to the OTCP teamListener Discretion by Edward @OctoberpodVHS.

Imagine you are a probation officer and you get a phone call that one of your offenders hasn’t checked in with you as of late. Since he is an elderly man in his late 70s, you hope he is ok. It is April 13, 2010, an officer goes to the home to check on him. The officer goes into the home and talks to the man. He then walks about the house to get a look around which is standard. It all looks ok. Located in the back of the home, the officer discovers a room. This room has a giant padlock on the door from the outside. Immediately sensing something is not right, he demands to get into each of the rooms. What authorities would find in the house is what nightmares are made of. It is a scene straight out of one of those haunted houses kids visit on Halloween night, but this was no haunted house, and no one --children or adults --should have to see what was inside.
