254. Natural Born Killers: Joshua Maxwell and Tessie McFarland

St. Lucie County Florida is a community located about 90 miles north of Miami and it is just what you would expect in sunny Florida-hot and humid. The area is a heavy on the wildlife with lots of swampy canals running throughout which empty into the famed Florida Everglades. For a killer, there is no better place to dump a body because if the weather doesn’t help decay the body fast, the critters will get it and within a short amount of time, there will be no evidence that a crime was ever committed. Or, at least, that is what a killer was hoping for but one July evening, fate was not on this killer’s side. A body was left behind and it would lead to years of trying to catch the infamous killer with lots of names.

On the morning of Wednesday May 31, 1995, Mistie Nicole Murray, age 16, told her parents she would be home late because she had band practice after school. She put on her green nylon Marching Band with the lettering SDHS Girls Band jacket, with "Mistie" on the sleeve and sat in her dad’s red TransAm with the top down, smiling and telling her dad how she will have her driver’s license soon. Her father, Steve ruffled her hair, made a bad joke about women drivers as Mistie’s mother climbed in the car and they drove off to school. She attended all her classes and even visited the school nurse for reasons that haven’t been made available to the public. Mistie called her mother, Anne, at the elementary school where her mom worked. The call was made around 3:00 pm but her mother did not answer the call and Mistie didn’t leave a message. This was not unusual as her mom was often busy especially at the end of the school day. What was unlike any other normal school day, Mistie never made it back home.Join Jen and Cam as we discuss Missing Mistie Murray on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast.Promo by: This Week in Crime Podcast @thisweekincrimeAs always our two BFF's are repping us:Listener Discretion by Edward October from @Octoberpod Home Video Stellar Editing and All Music by Nico from @wetalkofdreamsResources;Mistie's Doe Network Link London Free Press Damaged Angels By Bonnie Buxton ISBN-13 978-0786715503National PostVarious articles from Windsor Star Ottawa Canada and National Post Toronto Canada via Newspapers.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Located about 90 miles north of Little Rock Arkansas is a little area called the Illinois Bayou. It has everything that you would think a bayou would have: bogs, marshes and a very prehistoric kind of feel. Locals as well as visitors flock to the area to hit the water and see what kind of goodies they can reel in but sometimes the things that they catch on the other end of the line, is something no one would expect or want. That is exactly what happened, when a couple out for a day of fishing, reeled in a ghastly sight: a body part. Authorities rush to the scene and what they would uncover would only leave more questions and unveil a hidden sect of people who's strong beliefs include anti-government but does it also include murder? Join Jen and Cam on this edition of OTCP as we discuss Brotherly Love: The Kehoe Boys. Listener D by the voicely talented Edward October of @octoberpodVHS All music and editing by the guy who puts up with us way more than any person ever should have to do: Nico @wetalkofdreams https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2013/two-members-notorious-kehoe-family-arrested-againhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevie_Kehoe"Killings Illuminate Culture of White Supremacists".

Best friends Lynn Seethaler and Janice Pietropola had graduated together from Penn Hills High School, and with their newly found independence and financial freedom, Janice and Lynn decided they would take a nice little vacation together. In the last week of June 1973, the two young, vibrant ladies set off on a road trip to Virginia Beach. The two had rented a small cottage at Farrar’s Tourist Village, which was a small complex of vacation rentals right on the oceanfront. A bit after noon on June 30, the two women missed their checkout time. A motel employee went to the cottage to check on them. Inside, they found a bloody scene, and both girls were found dead. Decades would pass before the person responsible for this would be discovered but was there even more?Join Jen and Cam on the OTCP Summer Blast episode entitled Evil on the Oceanfront.Promo is by @IWBpodcast Listener Discretion by the fabu Edward October @octoberpodVHSAll music and editing by our pal across the pond Nico @wetalkofdreams Learn more about your ad choices.

Eastham was not quite sure what he was going to find but had been told there was a fire and they had discovered one body at that point. Once on sight, they located a car that was burned badly but there was no mistaking the bone fragments inside the car and those bones belonged to humans. Not  quite sure if there were one or two bodies inside the vehicle but they weren’t finished. Once the trunk was opened, the shock hit hard as two small skeletons were inside. Who would want this loving family dead? The answer would shock everyone.

Police just suspected he was a runaway. Three months pass when a deer hunter came across skeletal remains. It was confirmed to be DeWayne Bush. DeWayne’s death would not be solved for 12 years, but sadly, he would not be the last to be brutally murdered by a man who was able to blend in among the community.

It is a cheap way to bond and see the country and that is just what the Jaeger family wanted to do when they set off to Montana from Michigan. It was Sunday June 24 and they were spending their last night in Montana’s Headwaters State Park. It was around 4am when 13 year old Heidi Jaegar woke up to some chilly air. There was a hole in the tent-a big hole. Heidi felt around the sleeping bag for her 7 year old sister, Susie, who was sleeping in that spot but it was only a sleeping bag. The family's dream vacation would turn into a very long nightmare. Police would apply a method that was unheard of in the early 1970's to help in the case. Join Jen and Cam as we discuss episode 1 in the Summer Blast series entitled Stolen in the Night on today's episode of Our True Crime Podcast.Promo by the Bad in the Boondocks podcast. Listener Description by the hauntingly handsome Edward Octoberpod from @OctoberpodVHSAll music and editing by the stunningly stylish Nico from @wetalkofdreams   Learn more about your ad choices.
