Episode 259 - Roaming Rosie - The VanLife Murder of Emily Ferlazzo

A bottle of wine, nostalgic love songs and a late night phone call with an ex. It’s a relatable scene for many and one that Scott Dell found himself in, on a wintery night, in Killaloe, Ontario back in 1995. On the phone was the love of his life, his ex Cherrylle. The wine went down easy, perhaps too easy and Scott scribbled out hopeful notes as the conversation went on for hours, and for Scott, the air in his log farmhouse crackled with the hope of reconciliation. A reconciliation that would never happen.

In the early morning hours of June 23rd, 2016, special agents followed a set of tire tracks in a rural field in Bigfork, Minnesota. In the distance, a camper squatted ominously against the treeline.

Hosted by Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the hit show Morbid. When 90-year-old Laurence Pilgeram drops dead on the sidewalk outside his condo, you might think that’s the end of his story. But, really, it’s just the beginning. Because Laurence and others like him have signed up to be frozen and brought back to life in the future. And that belief will pull multiple generations of the Pilgeram family into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, gold coins, grenades, fist fights, mysterious packages, family feuds, Hall of Fame baseball legends, and frozen heads — lots of frozen heads. From Wondery, comes a story about life, death, and what comes next. Follow Frozen Head on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

It was a date Brittany Tavar had been preparing for, for over a year, July 7th, 2010. The day she planned to stand before a judge at the St. Augustine, Florida courthouse, to present evidence that would hopefully grant her request for a permanent restraining order against her nemesis. A neighbor and former friend. Brittany told friends she’d been building the case against her neighbor out of fear, fear for her safety. So when she never showed up at the courthouse that day, those who loved Brittany knew something was wrong.
