Scott and Kristy take a trip through Traumatown as they take a look at the infamous Albert Fish, a man to whom few proclivities were too extreme.

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 #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 #13: The Murder of Stanford White

This week, Kristy and Scott investigate a case involving a smoking hot babe, a bajillionaire with breathtaking paranoia and access to firearms, and a lothario with a superhuman ability to grow facial hair. Listen this week and learn why sometimes it's a good idea to just wait things out.
