Who Killed...?

Hey guys, here is another show I produce for Evergreen Podcasts. Crime Capsule is a mix of NPR-style hosting with true crime and history sprinkled throughout. If you haven't listened yet, check it out. Thanks, Bill From railroad towns like Ladore to cow towns like Newton and Wichita, southeast Kansas pulsed with rowdy activity during the late nineteenth century. The unruly atmosphere drew outlaws, including the Dalton Gang, and even crazed serial killers, the likes of the Bender clan. Violent incidents, from gunfights to lynchings, punctuated the region's Wild West era, and the allure of the frontier also attracted the everyday people whose passions sometimes spawned bloodshed as well. Award-winning author Larry E. Wood explores thirteen of these remarkable episodes in the criminal history of southeast Kansas. Buy HERE Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Molly Bish was a 16-year-old girl who disappeared in Massachusetts in 2000. Her remains were found nearly three years later in the woods of Whiskey Hill in nearby Palmer. Despite ongoing investigations, no one has been charged with her murder. Twenty years after 16-year-old Molly Bish’s body was found, Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early remains optimistic about solving her murder. His office is actively investigating the case, and they’ve named Francis “Frank” Sumner Sr. as a person of interest. Sumner, who died in 2016, was a central Massachusetts resident with a history of criminal activity. He fits the description provided by Molly’s mother and resembles a police sketch based on her description. However, despite these developments, no one has been charged with Molly Bish’s murder1.
