#122 Tulsa Massacre

It’s May 31,1921,  Tulsa Oklahoma, there is a girl getting ready for a prom at the local high school. A boy and his family are about to sit down for dinner, many families of the Greenwood district prepare for a quiet evening. But at the sametime an unspoken shockwave is making its way across the area, often referred to as Black Wall Street. A wave of uncertainty, anger, and fear. Hushed conversations by the back door. Shortly, all hell will break loose, and for many of the area's veterans and residents alike, they will be back in a war zone, fighting to defend everything they hold dear.

#121 Guilty Caller: The Jessica Logan Story

“If this were to get out,” “I feel like no one would ever call 911 again.” Imagine a world where you call 911 for help, only to be arrested for murder. Then being sentenced to life for killing the very person you were requesting help for! This unfortunately is not hypothetical for Jessica Logan, for her it's a reality. Jessica has lived with the title of child murderer since October of 2019, when her son stopped breathing and she dialed 911 for medical assistance. So how did she end up being the number one suspect in her son’s presumed murder?

#120 The Miyazawa Family Massacre

As Y2K was coming to a close, and Japan was preparing for the new year, one family was now having the worst year of their lives. Although the rest of the year had been amazing, the last day's events would prove enough to make this a year to remember, and not in a good way. A horrible crime had occurred and shook a nation. And though the clues are laid out like a popular board game, to this day, no person has ever been named a suspect. This is the story of the unsolved Miyazawa family murders.

#119 The Wendigo

The wendigo  is a supernatural being belonging to the spiritual traditions of Algonquian-speaking First Nations in North America. Wendigos are described as powerful monsters that have a desire to kill and eat their victims. In most legends, humans transform into wendigos because of their greed or weakness. Wendigo legends are essentially cautionary tales about isolation and selfishness, and the importance of community.

But what happens when those fairytales cross the borders into real life?

#118 The Tylenol Murders

Forty years ago, a series of grim deaths in the Chicago area gripped the nation, changing how American consumers buy over-the-counter medicine and other consumable goods forever. It revealed an ugly sadistic side of humanity and also impacted the way public health officials respond to crisis situations.

#117 The Great Swamp Massacre

A crumbling monolith-like monument that looks more like it belongs with roman ruins than a Rhode Island swamp, is all that remains to remind us of one of the gravest injustices of King Philip's War. What was King Philip's War you ask? Yea I didn’t know either, but it was an armed conflict in 1675–1676 between indigenous inhabitants of New England and the New England colonists along with their indigenous ‘allies’. The war was named for Metacom, the Wampanoag chief who adopted the name Philip because of the friendly relations between his father Massasoit and the Mayflower Pilgrims. The war continued in the most northern reaches of New England until the signing of the Treaty of Casco Bay on April 12, 1678. It's often considered a crucial battle, although a more accurate description of the events of that day would be massacre.

#116 Every Pirate’s Dream

Henry Every is the most successful pirate you’ve probably never heard of. He is arguably the most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy, and his actions have been highly romanticized throughout fictional history so much so that he was dubbed the ‘King of Pirates’. Unlike others of his time like Blackbeared and Calico Jack, Henry Every’s greatest success was that he was able to slip the authorities and disappear without consequence…or did he?!

#115 The Chino Hills Massacre

In 1983 a wealthy white family was murdered in a brutal attack, the only survivor was an 8 year old boy who had been viciously assaulted. When he was questioned about the events of that night he indicated the attack was carried out by at least three white or Mexican men. So why now, almost 40 years later, is there one single black man sitting on death row for these crimes?

How did the narrative switch so drastically? Are we about to execute an innocent man? And are the real killers still out there??
