The Personification of Evil: The Chicago Ripper Crew: Day 12: 12 Nightmares Before Christmas

In the mid 1980's, three people were found murdered while a fourth went missing in a remote camping area in Washington state. With no witnesses and the only survivor being a two year old found miles away in a shopping plaza, police were baffled.  Twenty five years later in 2011,  the skull of the missing victim was found but would this answer the authorities lingering questions or only raise more? Join Jen and Cam as we discuss the unsolved Tube Sock Killings on episode 4 of the 12 Nightmares Before Christmas.  Listener Discretion by the sultry voiced Edward Octoberpod from OctoberpodVHSHoliday Greeting by the Grinch, also known as Glen, from Glen Thinks Stuff podcast    Learn more about your ad choices.

Crime may not pay but it sure does provide an entertaining way for a singer to tell a unique story. The murder ballad has been around for as long as singing and murder itself. The murder ballad, a sub-genre from the ballad, is a song that tells a narrative about a crime often including the 'why’ as well as the fallout. Join Cam and Jen as we attempt (badly) to sing (please have ear plugs ready) and discuss some tunes you may have never known were based on a twisted true tale. New listener discretion by the wonderfully fabulous OctoberpodVHS    Do yourself a favor and check him out!Promos for our friends Bad At Love PodcastandPeople Are Wild Podcast   Links for the songs so you can hear them they way they were supposed to sound. Love gone wrong between Frankie Baker and Allen Britt:"Frankie and Johnny" -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNq532Cyhu0This song has been covered by many greats such as the above Jimmie Rogers.
