Unresolved

This week, in lieu of a new episode, I'm posting the audio from June 4th's live-stream. I was joined by my good friend Jesse Pollack (The Acid King, Death on the Devil's Teeth) to chat with Robert Kolker (Lost Girls, Hidden Valley Road). We spoke for over an hour, and touched upon Robert's work on the LISK case, some recent developments in the case, and so much more. It was a great chat, and I cannot thank both Robert and Jesse enough! If you're interested, please refer to my prior episodes on the Long Island Serial Killer before listening. We touch upon several topics/subjects that I addressed back then, and might be necessary to have a full understanding.

Following the arrest of Bill Bradfield in April of 1983, his fate began to look grim.In the ensuing trial, prosecutors would manage to successfully link Bradfield to Susan Reinert's death, as well as at least one other "unnamed co-conspirator" (who many at the time believed to be Bradfield's longtime associate, Jay Smith). Over the next several years, this story would continue to play out, providing answers to some of the overarching questions that had been haunting those in the Main Line region of Pennsylvania, while ignoring the others, which remain unanswered to this day...Part 3/3 Episode hosted, produced, and research/writing by Micheal WhelanOriginal music created by Micheal Whelan through Amper MusicTheme music created and composed by Ailsa TravesProducers: Maggyjames, Roberta Janson, Ben Krokum, Peggy Belarde, Quil Carter, Laura Hannan, Victoria Reid, Gabriella Bromley, Damion Moore, Amy Hampton, Steven Wilson, Scott Meesey, Marie Vanglund, Scott Patzold, Astrid Kneier, Lori Rodriguez, Aimee McGregor, Danny Williams, Sydney Scotton, Sara Moscaritolo, Sue Kirk, Thomas Ahearn, Seth Morgan, Marion Welsh, Patrick Laakso, Kelly Jo Hapgood, Alyssa Lawton, Meadow Landry, Rebecca Miller, Tatum Bautista, gravityheadzero, Erin Pyles, Jo Wong, Teunia Elzinga, Consuelo Moreno, Travis Scsepko, Jacinda B., and Jared MidwoodLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast and others, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

In the years after Susan Reinert's body was discovered, investigators would struggle to latch on to available leads. Early on, investigators had begun to probe the backstories of two men - Jay Smith and Bill Bradfield - but had no concrete evidence linking them to the case. Both men had shady pasts, and undeniable links to the victim (as well as to each other), but were seemingly beyond reproach. Over the next several years, a delicate game of cat-and-mouse would be played throughout the court system. But what started out as a civil suit between Bradfield and Susan Reinert's loved ones would slowly morph into a full-on criminal investigation...

Between 2011 and 2012, a Russian serial killer would target elderly women that lived alone.Beginning his spree in the early months of 2011, this mysterious killer emerged from Kazan, the capital city of Tatarstan. It was here that he would kill close to a dozen women over the next year, before moving on to other cities in the region.In the decade since, investigators have speculated that this violent individual may have as many as 32 victims - spanning hundreds of kilometers through central Russia - but they are no closer to bringing him to justice, despite them having footage of the killer in action...
