Old Timey Crimey #48: Leopold and Loeb - "Remix Justice"
Friday Feb 14, 2020
Friday Feb 14, 2020
This week, we look at Leopold and Loeb, whose plan to commit "the perfect crime" was imperfect in so, so many ways. Like--a lot of ways.
Plus: More Shakespearean insults, paint thinner madness, and murderer eyeballs.
And remember, if your closing argument is over 12 hours, the transcripts are free!

Old Timey Crimey #37: Tillie Klimek - "Two Inches to Live"
Thursday Nov 28, 2019
Thursday Nov 28, 2019
This week, we talk about serial marrier and murderer Tillie Klimek, a woman who just couldn't hold in her murderousness, and some men who just couldn't hold their arsenic. Tillie Klimek is a lesson in how not to act while your husband is dying, both to avoid suspicion and to be a decent human being.
Plus! Super weird tornado tales, more life insurance shenanigans, and truly nonsensical measurement systems.
We have a shiny new Patreon--come be a private dick! Or a gumshoe, or a flatfoot. If a one-time donation is more your style, you can Paypal us at oldtimeycrimey@gmail.com.
We'd love you forever--well,definitely longer than Tillie could manage to keep a husband alive--if you'd give us a 5-star review! You can also follow us here on Podbean, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. While you're at it, hit us up on our FB group, Twitter, Reddit, or Insta to talk Old Timey Crime.
And remember, keep your twilight petting parties inside, lest the neighbors testify later.
