Rumors in a Small Town

Thanks for sticking around, three cases on this week's episode, and a mini dive into the mind of a monster. Thanks for listening and if you started listening to Murder Monday and this your first experience with Murder He Wrote, Thank YOU!

After a short break, two new cases involving deception. Thank you for taking the time to listen to this True Crime podcast, Murder He Wrote.

The lengths the killers go in this week's Murder He Wrote is not the norm. These are the stories of individuals that had obviously lost track of reality but this didn't stop them from making calculated decisions and plans which would result in both death and a mystery.

This episode starts a bit differently, it begins with the story of a woman that's been called every name of the book, she's been connected to dozens of brutal murders but hasn't killed a soul. (I think) In this episode, I'll introduce you to Sondra London and then two new true crime cases. One involves a funeral and a lie while the other is about a web of lies in Wisconsin in the 1980s.

Murder He Wrote begins in Long Island in the 1980s with a popular cheerleader that was supposed to be living the best years of her life, instead, it was a nightmare. The second murder case involves a high altitude love triangle in Belgian and finally a mystery with multiple versions of events in Australia.

Three cases, two involve serial killers, Robert Hansen was a monster living in Alaska while Mark Twitchell of Canada had a passion but thankfully didn't know what he was doing. The final story is about an Iowa couple looking to get married and a danger that was closer than they expected. Instagram: @MurderHeWrotePodcast

A girl that was just looking to make friends while in college gets caught up in something evil, lawyer and his wife are executed while sleeping in their bed, was it a hit, or was there something more sinister a play. Lastly, Kay Mortenson was a retired college professor and gun enthusiast with a son and daughter-in-law that shared a unique story after finding their father murdered in his own bathroom.

A young Wisconsin mother, Nicole VanderHeyden is brutally murdered and while the case seems obvious to outsiders, technology is able to help them determine who's guilty. The first case this week covers the gruesome murder of a young actress/model that had moved to Hollywood to find stardom but ended up finding something much worse. The final case, after two days of no contact from her brother, Ethel Jackson called his neighbor to see if she could check on him after fearing trouble.

Misdirection is the theme of the first story, a man is found off the coast of England with no sign of identification except for a tattoo and a watch.  How he ended up at the bottom of the Atlantic is as bizarre as the person responsible for his death. We also learn about a tragic case of murder in a case that may leave you with more questions than answers and the final case speaks to the dangers of doing business.

The Hated documents the story of three very different murders where "The Hated" is either the victim or the killer. Ken McElroy bullied a small Missouri town for decades until people suddenly had enough. Robert Chambers grew up a child of privilege, hanging with the elite until one tragic evening in Central Park, and finally, a woman who changed America and quickly became the most hated woman in America. Madlyn Murray O'Hair has a target on her back.
