The Roadside Strangler: Michael Bruce Ross: Day 8: 12 Nightmares Before Christmas

Science has come a long way and has allowed humans to discover new diseases as well as cures for these diseases. Often it has often been, shall we say, not so forthcoming with what or how it practiced but even worse, it lied. It lied to those who had already suffered so much in American History. This is the story of how ignorance and blatant racism affected an unknown amount of people all without them even realizing they were being used a medical guinea pigs who would pay with their life.

When someone says Whitechapel, London and 1880’s, most people know they are referring to none other than Jack the Ripper. Jack was one of the first serial killers to terrorize with no reason and to this day remains unsolved--although many think they know who it is, it has yet to be proven. His killings have been covered with countless books and movies and have lead to more than a few copycat killings but perhaps the biggest one is one you may have never heard about. This brutal murderer killed more victims than his famous namesake. He was known as Jack the Stripper and the murders would be known as the Hammersmith Nude Murders. Join Jen and Cam on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast as we discuss “Jack the Stripper.” As always our listner discretion is brought to you from the amazing Edward from @octoberpodVHS.The catchy theme song and all editing is courtesy of the ever so patient Nico @wetalkofdreams.

The Roaring 20's brought on a lot of changes in the United States. The economy started booming and many people saw a 22% growth in their paychecks.It was illegal to consume or make alcohol in the United States due to Prohibition, but many more Americans began to drink or drink more.And with the passing of the 19th Amendment, women were given the right to vote. This new era brought on a new type of woman called a "flapper."She danced, drank, smoked, and voted. She cut her hair, wore make-up, and partied until dawn.She was sexually liberated. People started to believe that women were sexual beings with wants and needs, and if they held back these desires, they would self-destructRuth did let go of all her inhibitions but still managed to destroy herself as well as those around her.Join Jen and Cam as they discuss one of the most famous executions of a murderessyou most likely have never heard of Ruth Brown SnyderPromo from our friendsGhosthunterandWine & Crime OTCP is proud to announce our new Executive Producer, the magnificent Dick VaneListener Discretion by the one and only Edward October of OctoberpodVHSMusic/editing and sound by the incredibly gifted Nico of We Talk of DreamsSources: -site links on ourtruecrimepodcast.comSmith Denies Snyder Plea by Frank Dolan Daily News New York 1/11/28She had to die by Ann Jones American Heritage Snyder's life sad says mother Times Union 3/31/27Gray testimony Muncie Evening Press 5/5/27Various articles on front page of Mansfield News 1/13/28 Ruth Brown Snyder Wiki murderpediaEncyclopedia.comThe Gray Space Between Life and Death James Mitchell 6/6/19Psychoanalyst new hope for her attorney Daily News New York 11/1/28/27Murder plot of blonde siren led to doom by Winifred Van Duzer Philadelphia Enquirer 6/8/41Economic Boom of the 1920sRoaring 20'sRoaring twentiesRoaring 20s Prohibition in the United States Prohibition FactsWoman weeps and drops into chair Birmingham News 5/10/27Join Jen and Cam as they discuss one of the most famous executions of a murderessyou most likely have never heard of, Ruth Brown Snyder Learn more about your ad choices.

Final episode of a 4 part series To look at Skidmore Missouri, you would see what many Americans would see. Kids playing in the front yards, men in their older pickups waving at everyone they pass and folks chatting with with each other as they gather in town. With a population of only 440 people in 1981, everyone in this Missouri town knew each other many had grown up together. They protected each other and, most importantly, they knew when to keep a secret. The town people knew who the good people were, they knew who was a bit of trouble and they also knew that the devil was alive and well and living right there with them in Skidmore, Missouri.

Newton Kansas sits in America’s heartland with fields of wheat and cornfields as far as the eye can see. The small town of 19,000 is big on family, God, and rarely, does anyone lock their front doors. They all know each other as many have grown up and grown old having never left their small hometown. It is a trusting community with a long line of families raising families but that trust was shattered in the spring of 1994 when a stranger knocked on Rhonda Krehbiel's front door. Join Jen and Cam as we discuss "The Bad Man in Aviators" on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast.  Promo by LA Not So Confidential @LAnosopodListener Discretion by the soulful sounding Edward October from @octoberpodVHSAll music and editing done by the multitalented Nico from @wetalkofdreamsYou like us?
