141: The Murderer and The Hidden Money - September 21 2019 - Today in True Crime

May 18th: Herb Coddington Arrested (1987) Some people look for signs in the strangest places. On May 18th 1987 a man was arrested who committed heinous crimes because he felt that God was directly communicating with him. And, in that communication, told him that he needed to kidnap, rape, and kill young girls and anyone who got in his way. One of which never got to see life in her teens, let alone adulthood.  https://murderpedia.org/male.C/c/coddington-herbert.htm, https://www.mtdemocrat.com/news/capital-murder-case-sends-chills-prompts-warnings-from-law-enforcement-subhed-coddington-a-poster-boy-for-death-penalty-law-officers-say/, https://tntcrimes.com/herb-coddington/, https://www.tahoedailytribune.com/news/supreme-court-upholds-death-penalty-for-tahoe-killer/, https://apnews.com/article/23b1618798751390ba0d967c04bd202a, ,w https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Death-Penalty-Upheld-for-Tahoe-Man-He-killed-2-2714445.php Learn more about your ad choices.

May 17th: Eriksson Twin Bus Incident (2008) Some true crime mysteries offer some far-fetched and out of this world theories. On May 17th 2008 two women, twins, became front page news in a story that, to this day, lacks enough explanation for many to feel as though it is closed. A case that, though a mystery, comes with theories that become almost as interesting as the case itself.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_and_Sabina_Eriksson#:~:text=A%20police%20report%20stated%20that,they%20were%20not%20feeling%20well.&text=He%20noticed%20the%20twins%20clinging,their%20bags%20for%20illegal%20items., https://www.vice.com/en/article/xwpzvj/the-twins-who-ran-into-traffic-before-stabbing-a-man-to-death, https://www.ranker.com/list/strange-facts-about-the-eriksson-sisters/harrison-tenpas, https://themalestrom.com/culture/mysterious-eriksson-twins/, https://www.mamamia.com.au/folie-a-deux-eriksson-twins/, https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/9ji2l4/the_psychotic_eriksson_twins/, https://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-stories-blog/ursula-and-sabina-eriksson Learn more about your ad choices.

May 15th: East Middlebury Murders (1935) Cold cases can be extremely frustrating to hear about. And, as we can imagine, it’s even more frustrating for the investigators involved in the cases themselves. On May 15th 1935 three bodies were found in Vermont that, to this day, don’t have an identity. A frustrating fact for the investigators, and the detectives who took over after them, who have been working the case for 87 years.  ,https://unsolvedvermont.com/2019/11/29/the-east-middlebury-does/#:~:text=On%20May%2015%2C%201935%2C%20a,was%20found%20near%20the%20remains, https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2016/10/30/history-space-middlebury-cold-case/92958366/, https://www.vpr.org/post/skulls-and-clay-forensic-sculptor-hopes-crack-1935-middlebury-murder-case#stream/0, https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/8rk8f0/unresolved_murder_bodies_in_the_woods_83_years/, https://addisonindependent.com/1935-murder-victims-buried-mystery-persists-0, https://unidentified.wikia.org/wiki/Addison_County_Jane_Doe_(1935) Learn more about your ad choices.

Motives that, while in no way excuse an act, give an insight that some can find comforting.
