Today we are going to be discussing one of the most horrific and disturbing cases we’ve ever looked into…the case of 10-year-old Jamie Rose Bolin.  Jamie disappeared in April of 2006 after she has last been seen at the Purcell Library in Purcell, Oklahoma.  When she was found, the world would be shocked to hear the atrocities that she suffered at the hands of an absolute monster.

As of August 1st, it has officially been 57 years since the horrific Texas Tower shooting at the University of Texas. So, for our 57th episode today, we will be taking a deep dive into the absolutely shocking case of Charles Whitman, Jr. a.k.a:  The Texas Tower Sniper.

On Friday, February 20th, 2015, at 4 pm, a 999 call was made reporting 16-year-old Becky Watts missing. Becky had last been seen the previous morning by her family. She had last left her home in Crown Hill, Bristol with her phone, her tablet and her laptop. She had not told anyone where she was going or what she would be doing. She did not bring with her a change of clothes, and what’s worse, she wasn’t responding to anyone’s texts or calls… Despite being 16, this was completely out of character for Becky…she had never been one to stay out too late and she ALWAYS answered her parent’s calls and texts.  As the search for Becky began, her family and the Bristol police felt that something must be horribly wrong for Becky to have vanished without a trace. Not even in their worst nightmare could they imagine what had happened to their bubbly, beautiful 16 year old daughter. This is the depraved and shocking case of the disappearance of Becky Watts. 

We’re back! Thank you so much for your patience as we took the month of June off. We have missed you guys!  Today we will be discussing the 1927 Bath Consolidated School Bombing/Massacre…  Unfortunately, this day in age, we are all too familiar with school violence, so today we are going to go back in history, to Bath, Michigan, to take a look at the worst school bombing in US history.  Puzzling enough, this blood bath was perpetrated by a “respected and admired” member of Bath’s small community…a man by the name of Andrew Kehoe.  At the end of Kehoe’s attack on Bath’s consolidated school, over 40 people would be dead. 38 of those victims would be small children.  So who is Andrew Kehoe and what in the world would persuade him to take the lives of innocent children? I’m not sure if we will leave this episode with more questions or answers, but one thing’s for sure, we will be well versed in the worst school bombing in US history and the monster behind it…
