  • 290 - UPDATE - The Tylenol Murders

    In September of 1982, seven people in the Chicago area died after ingesting over-the-counter Tylenol capsules that had been laced with lethal doses of potassium cyanide before being placed on store shelves.  Although there was a massive investigation and multiple people were closely examined, no one has ever been charged with the hideous crime.

    Three months after the murders, an unknown man walked into a Catholic church in Boise, Idaho and swallowed a lethal dose of cyanide.  He had gotten rid of all identifying documents and cards, leaving behind cash for a burial or cremation along with a note signed with the alias Wm. L. Toomey.

    Just last week, the Ada County Sheriff's Office announced they had officially identified the unidentified man, known as the Unknown Wanderer, as Dr. Matthew Francis Betkouski, a PhD scientist who suffered from mental health issues and had a deep fascination for chemistry.  

    After identifying Betkouski, detectives began uncovering a series of incidents and pieces of evidence which appear to circumstantially link Dr. Betkouski to the Tylenol Murders in one of the most major investigative avenues to be pursued in that case in decades.  The question now remains to be answered:  Was Dr. Betkouski the Tylenol Poisoner?

  • 289 - 258 - Bumble Bee Murders - Brandon Rumbaugh & Lisa Gurrieri

    In October of 2003, twenty year old Brandon Rumbaugh and his girlfriend, nineteen year old Lisa Gurrieri wanted to find a special way to celebrate their one year anniversary.  When a trip to Disneyland was too costly, they decided to stay close to home.  The couple decided to camp out beneath the stars in a small area north of Scottsdale, Arizona called Bumble Bee.  Tucked into the Bradshaw mountains and just a few miles off I-17, it was the perfect spot to spend a romantic night.

    When the couple failed to return, their families grew panicked.  After more than thirty hours of silence, Brandon and Lisa were found dead, the victim of a grisly double homicide.  According to police, it appeared as though someone walked up on the scene, found the couple sleeping in their sleeping bags, and opened fired with a .25 caliber pistol at close range.  The killer, nor their motive, have ever been discovered.

    However, new breakthroughs in DNA technology are paving a pathway forward and, according to the most recent statements from investigators, they may well be on the trail of identifying the illusive killer.....

  • 288 - 257 - The Disappearance of Jerry Wolking

    Jerry Wolking was worried, but nobody knew why.  He was fidgety, pacing and didn't want to talk about what was on his mind.  Days later, her mysteriously disappeared after leaving his girlfriend's house.  He has never been seen again.

    For decades his case grew cold, leaving behind family and friends who searched and did everything they could try and keep his story alive but the silence was all consuming.  Then, more than twenty-five years later, investigators dropped a bombshell.

    They identified a suspect, Cornelius Sedam, the estranged husband of Jerry's girlfriend.  Though Sedam had passed away years earlier, there was more to the story, with detectives suggesting that there may be others, still alive who were involved; and they might even be members of Sedam's own family.

  • 287 - UPDATE - The Sundrop Murders - Arrest Made [Ep 114]

    On Friday, June 13th, 2008, just before 10 AM, an unknown assailant entered the Sundrop Bottling Company building in Concord, North Carolina.  Inside were three employees including office manager Donna Barnhardt as well as Darrell Noles, a local man applying for a part-time job.  During what police have called a robbery gone wrong, both Donna and Darrell were shot and killed.  The shooter then walked out of the building, jogged across the road and disappeared into the tree line of a wooded area.  He is alleged to have been carrying a box with him as he left the scene.

    Despite exhaustive search efforts launched by local and state police within twenty minutes of the crime, the killer escaped the dragnet.  For nearly two decades investigators have searched for the killer, although they believed they always knew who it was.  Following a full and thorough re-examination of all available evidence and leads, detectives from Concord in conjunction with Port Angeles police arrested forty-three year old Johnny Talbert in Washington.  He has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of robbery with a firearm.  He is currently awaiting extradition.

  • 286 - 256 - Melanie Flynn - Part 2

    In part 2 we examine the greater conspiracy surrounding the Vanishing of Melanie Flynn.  Lexington Police Officer Bill Canan, who claimed to be using Melanie as a confidential informant for his undercover work in the drug scene is fired from his job for a multitude of reasons related to insubordination.  Canan denies any involvement in Melanie’s disappearance or in any illegal activities.  However, his partner, Drew Thornton, dies while flying a plane carrying two hundred pounds of cocaine into the United States from Columbia.

    In the early 1990’s, former reporter Sally Denton releases a book entitled “The Bluegrass Conspiracy.” The book goes on to expose a massive drug and arm trafficking operation being carried out between South America and the US with local police as well as several federal agents working hand-in-hand with Pablo Escobar’s Medellin cartel.  In addition to trafficking, there are cases of witness intimidation, theft, assault and even murder.  Canan is eventually arrested, charged and convicted of cocaine trafficking.  During his trial, several witnesses claim he was directly responsible for Melanie’s disappearance and murder.
