Scott and Kristy look at Eugene Francois Vidocq, a man who just couldn't decide what he wanted to be--unless he was escaping from jail. From traveling entertainer to swordsman, from traitor to fake aristocrat, he did it all and SO. MUCH. MORE.
This man did not know how to handle a promotion or learn from experience, but he knew how to keep everyone guessing.

Old Timey Crimey #22: Louis Le Prince - "The More You Don't Know"
Friday Aug 16, 2019
Friday Aug 16, 2019
Kristy and Scott take a look at the mysterious case of Louis Le Prince, a man with fabulous facial hair and a true passion for invention. He should have become one of the top names in the annals of innovation, but fate--or maybe Thomas Edison--got in the way. We'll look at the case and the four main theories that try to explain just what happened to this historical genius.
Don't miss Kristy's Edison Elephant Outrage, Scott's incredible obliteration of supposed new evidence in the case, and some exclamation point guidelines.

Old Timey Crimey #21: The Erdington Murders - "Fish Nibbles"
Friday Aug 09, 2019
Friday Aug 09, 2019
This week, we wander from 1817 to 1974 to examine two murders with some striking similarities. Was it pure coincidence, or was something sinister at play? Don't worry, Kristy has an entirely out-there conspiracy theory for you--and Scott's just as shocked as anyone.
Along the way, we have some international food talk in which we insult both other cultures and our own, Kristy kicks Scott out, and your intrepid co-hosts make each other wildly uncomfortable with our speculation about lacerations and bloody shoes.
You'll be the best gumshoe ever if you leave us a 5-star review on iTunes. And introducing a novel way you can control our fates! Go to our Amazon wishlist and purchase a book for a future "Deep Dive" to pick a future episode topic.

Old Timey Crimey #20: Belle Gunness - "Picnic at the Murder Farm"
Friday Aug 02, 2019
Friday Aug 02, 2019
She was 6 feet, 200 pounds of pure murder. This week, Scott and Kristy delve into the case of Belle Gunness, frequent flyer of insurance companies, banks, and probably any establishment that sells both cleavers and poison. She was the Spiderwoman to H.H. Holmes's Spiderman, and if they'd met, they'd either have killed each other or killed even more people--if that's possible.
Don't miss our list of La Porte, Indiana's many luminaries--seriously, don't miss this--along with so, so many air quotes that you can't see because this is an audio medium. But don't worry, we'll tell you.
