My Passion Case: Maggie Freleng- The Long Island Serial Killer Part 2

On this week's show, I want to take you back to the spring of 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia. The city was still recovering from the Atlanta Child Murders from 1981, and when the news hit the wire, 8-year-old Joshua Harmon was missing. Everyone held their collective breath and hoped this wasn’t the beginning of another string of killings. Joshua Harmon's body was found two days after he disappeared on May 15, 1988. His family has waited 33 years for the answers they now have today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaSgbiZ0teE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntyQUrvpSNw Learn more about your ad choices.

The disappearance of Eugene Martin on August 12, 1984, remains a haunting mystery in Des Moines, Iowa. Eugene, a 13-year-old paperboy, vanished while delivering newspapers, leaving enduring questions and a community seeking answers for decades. Despite extensive investigations and the involvement of federal agents, Eugene's case is still unresolved. The only clues left behind were witness accounts of Eugene speaking with an unidentified man early that morning and his abandoned newspaper bag found later. This case and the similar disappearance of another paperboy, Johnny Gosch, have sparked theories and continuous search efforts. The impact of Eugene's story extends beyond Des Moines, symbolizing the broader issue of missing children and the importance of community awareness and safety. Resources are available at the Iowa Cold Cases website and The Charley Project for more detailed information on Eugene's case.

The case of Riley Strain, a University of Missouri student, has captured widespread attention following his mysterious disappearance and subsequent death. Riley Strain was reported missing after a night out with friends in Nashville on March 8, 2024. His disappearance led to an extensive search that ended tragically when his body was discovered in the Cumberland River two weeks later.  The initial autopsy suggested that Strain's death was accidental, with no signs of trauma from weapons. However, the Strain family, seeking further clarity, ordered a second private autopsy. This decision came amid puzzling circumstances surrounding the discovery of Riley's body, which was found without pants, boots, and wallet. The absence of water in his lungs, a common indicator of drowning, further complicated the narrative and prompted the family to seek additional tests.
