The Assassination of Philip Barton Key

A love triangle between a Congressman, his wife, and a U.S. Attorney turns violent when a mysterious letter is received.

Daniel Sickles was a young Congressman from New York, who had the favor of President James Buchanan himself. To outsiders, Sickles seemed well on his way to having a lengthy career in Washington. Since moving there, he had befriended many, but none were as close to him and his wife as U.S. Attorney Philip Barton Key.

Key, the son of American icon Francis Scott Key, was one of the most charming and handsome men in the region. But on the evening of February 24th, 1859, Sickles would receive a mysterious letter, alleging that Key - his trusted friend and political ally - was having an affair with his wife...

Bardstown (Part Two: "America's Most Beautiful Small Town")

Bardstown (Part Two: "America's Most Beautiful Small Town")

After the murder of Officer Jason Ellis, the relatively small area of Bardstown, Kentucky was on-edge. However, their fears were not soothed with the introduction of a troubled group of young men, who called themselves the "Bardstown Money Gang." In the following years, a woman and her teenage daughter - named Kathy and Samantha Netherland - were mysterious found murdered in their own home. And with the backdrop of these prior tragedies - the veil of police corruption looming around the town - a young mother went missing, showing that one of America's most beautiful small towns had some ugly truths to face. Part two of two. Written and hosted by Micheal Whelan Music and production by T. Nordgren Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

Bardstown (Part One: Officer Jason Ellis)

Bardstown (Part One: Officer Jason Ellis)

In 2013, Officer Jason Ellis lived out his life as if it was any other. He was a family man, with a wife and two young sons - one of which was special needs. He was a local hero, having played baseball for the Cincinnati Reds minor league system, and given up his baseball goals to support a family in Bardstown, Kentucky: what one magazine infamously proclaimed "America's Most Beautiful Small Town." However, one evening would see the lives of everyone around his forever changed, and create a mystery that has marred the image of a legendary town. Part one of two.  Written and hosted by Micheal Whelan Music and production by T. Nordgren Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

Israel Keyes

Israel Keyes

On this episode of the Unresolved Podcast, I take a look at Israel Keyes, a man that many investigators have labelled "one of the most methodical serial killers of all-time." This is a slight twist on the typical "unsolved mystery," because the killer is known beforehand, but the victims and the crimes still remain a mystery.Written, hosted, and produced by Micheal Whelan.Music credits:"Heebie-Jeebies" by Graham Bole"High Water" by Artem Bemba"Hokkaido" by The Gateless Gate"I Invented Electricity (Dorkmix)" by inBOIL"Moonlit Valley" by Pulse Emitter"Zzyzx" by Mutant Data Orchestra"Myvatn" by The Gateless Gate"Eighth" by Hacker BlinksBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.
