There are two sides to every story. Somewhere in between varying accounts of a shared experience lies the truth, but the deceased can’t share their version of events. When relying on only one narrative, the truth can become muddied and leave us scrambling for answers. The case we’re discussing in this episode wasn’t big news. The mystery surrounding 47-year-old Kevin Parker’s stabbing death mostly fueled local interest. Kevin’s family and loved ones were determined to get closure and fill in the blanks for a crime that seemed to have no motive.  Only two people know the full truth about events leading to Kevin’s death. And one of them was killed. Let’s dive into this 2019 Michigan homicide and see if you can decide - was this murder, self-defense, or a lethal clash of personalities?

This episode of MURDERISH brings us to the East Coast of the United States, to the Garden State of New Jersey. When the battered and cold body of Father Ed Hinds was discovered on the floor of the church rectory, covered in blood, nobody had a clue who could have killed him, or why. The community would quickly learn who brutally murdered the Catholic Priest, but jurors would have to decide whether the murderer snapped in a fit of rage over the Priest’s actions, or if the murder was motivated by the need to cover up a 20-year-old secret.

In this episode of MURDERISH, Jami sits down with her friend and fellow podcaster, Madison McGhee, to discuss Madison’s investigation of her father’s murder. Madison’s father, John Cornelius “J.C.” McGhee, was gunned down in the doorway of his own home in Belmont County, Ohio in 2002. His case has remained unsolved since then. As a child, Madison was told that her father died from a heart attack. It wasn’t until Madison was 16 years old that she learned the truth about his untimely death. In 2023, Madison launched Ice Cold Case, the podcast, a serialized investigative podcast that seeks to solve J.C.’s cold case. Madison’s grass-roots investigation has unearthed a plethora of information in her father’s case. Madison walks Jami through the details of her father’s cold case, and tells how it all unfolded …from learning the truth about his murder, to where her investigation stands today.  Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!

In this episode of Serial Streamers Jami recaps the Netflix reality docuseries, Unlocked: A Jail Experiment. Jami gives listeners a solid Cliffs Notes version of the 2024 docuseries, and shares her own opinions on the unusual experiment that allows detention center inmates to be outside of their jail cells 24/7 with no deputies inside of the pod to watch over them. The experiment begins with some chaos, as inmates push boundaries and break rules which threatens their ability to continue participating in the experiment. Over time, however, inmates within the pod begin forming a community, learning to problem solve without violence, and living by the rules set forth by authorities without their constant presence. Jami answers the question of whether or not she’d drink hooch and get cross-faded on coffee cigs if she ever found herself locked up.

On January 29, 2022, Karen Read dropped off her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, at a house party in Canton, Massachusetts. When she awoke the next morning and found John not in bed, Karen became concerned. She drove around looking for him and eventually made her way to 34 Fairview Rd., the location of the house-party where she’d taken him earlier that morning. Karen screamed upon seeing John’s body lying in the front yard of the home, unconscious and covered in snow. John O’Keefe was dead. A murder investigation ensued, with Karen Read being the primary target. Karen’s defense, however, had a different theory. They posited that John O’Keefe was killed by someone who’d attended the party, and several partygoers, all members of law enforcement, helped to cover up the crime.  Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!

Some addictions aren’t yet completely understood, like video gaming addiction. There has long been controversy regarding whether games with violent content impact young influential minds. In October 2007, an Ohio clergyman and his wife were shot at close range in their own home. Mark and Sue Petric were adored by their community. No one anticipated their lives would be shattered by a senseless act of violence. The question at the forefront of this case is: were video games to blame for the shooter’s actions?
