Old Timey Crimey #23: Eugene Francois Vidocq - "Halloween Costume Indecisiveness"

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 #20: Belle Gunness - "Picnic at the Murder Farm"

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.

Old Timey Crimey #19: The Hex Hollow Murder - "I think they went a bit strong"

This week, we hop back to 1928 in Pennsylvania, where one man's run of horrible luck results in his suspicions that he was hexed. In the end, a man will lose his life and a town will be forever changed. But eventually there's a hayride, so we'll try to take solace in that. 
Also, we learn some fun spells that probably won't cure what ails you, find out Scott's awesome insomnia remedy, and learn a very simple method for escaping a state hospital. And for a palate cleanser, stay tuned for a woman who refused to pollute the earth. To be honest, we kinda can't blame her...

Old Timey Crimey #15: The Sodder Children

Kristy and Scott take a deep dive into the case of the Sodder children and a Christmas house fire that left nothing but questions in the ashes. Along the way, we'll run into some memorable characters, although some are memorable in the worst way--we're looking at you, Fire Chief F.J. Morris. And after we marvel at the lengths parents will go to for their children, Kristy happens upon a theory that ruins Christmas for everyone. 

Old Timey Crimey #14: MICHAEL MALLOY WILL NOT DIE!

While Kristy is gallivanting around Europe, Scott welcomes in special guest Beast to discuss the hilarious yet ultimately tragic case of the incredibly hard to kill Michael Malloy! So sit back, relax, and pour yourself a nice tall glass of horse linament for this week's Old Timey Crimey.

Old Timey Crimey #11: Hans Schmidt

This week, Kristy and Scott look at the case of Hans Schmidt, the ol' Severin' Reverend. Join us as we examine the life and dastardly deeds of one not-so-holy man, his goose heads (not the beer), and why Mattel will never sponsor us. Plus, a listener poem!
