M3: Murder, Mystery and Mayhem

Happy Mother's Day, my Rexy Bishes! Join us in our extra dumbassary episode… Everyone needs a break from the Knotek story, especially Sam... who laughed way too hard at the “Edward Scissorhands” from Texas.    We do talk about the dumbassary that is Tennessee State Senate, so if you don't want to listen to it, skip to about 6 minutes or so.

Join us in this final part of the series. We discuss the court proceedings and sentencing... it is as frustrating as you probably think. Also, we do not condone violence as it may seem to suggest, it is a joke... a funny joke, but no violence is needed. Deep breath and know this series is officially over. Though, to help lighten the mood just a bit, we go into our dumbassary about our trip to New Orleans. We do be some dumbasses, but it is quite fun.

Come and join us for this full t-rex episode. We do a quick overview of the torture Shane and Ron endure. We don't really knw what happened to Mac, but we definitely speculate. We do be frustrated at how this case was dealt with by law enforcement, but that's for the next episode.

Join us in this Full T-Rex episode… our 3rd installment of the Shelly Knotek series.  In part 1, we discussed Shelly’s childhood, becoming an adult and mother.  Part two focused on her demented behavior toward her husband and children.  Part three focused on the abuse of a woman that believed Shelly was her friend.  Kathy Loreno was a beautiful soul, who was unfortunately caught in Shelly’s web.  We truly hope that when we say this woman is a monster that you believe it.   Find our friends at In the Nick of Crime: https://linktr.ee/nickofcrimepod Find all of our dumbassary at: https://linktr.ee/m3truecrimepod Sources:  If you Tell by Gregg Olson Music:  Listen on Spotify: https://go-stream.link/sp-nick-cleveland Track: Liar Artist: https://slip.stream/artists/nick-cleveland Music by Slip.stream: https://slip.stream/tracks/f64560d6-370f-49fa-bbac-4068205ef56b

This one is definitely full T-Rex... There is discussion of child abuse and torture.  We start off with this episode discussing the move and how Shelly figures out that it is the perfect home for her house of torture.  Then we discuss the specific "punishments" (a.k.a. torture) she used on her children, husband, and others.  We also discuss how Dave Knotek is just as complicit as Shelly, but there is an extra layer of fucked up to him.     The ending dumassary is hilarious though, so even if you can't stomach the episode, skip to the end!   Find all of our dumbassary at: https://linktr.ee/m3truecrimepod Sources:  If You Tell by Gregg Olsen Music:  Listen on Spotify: https://go-stream.link/sp-nick-cleveland Track: Liar Artist: https://slip.stream/artists/nick-cleveland Music by Slip.stream: https://slip.stream/tracks/f64560d6-370f-49fa-bbac-4068205ef56b

We're back and starting out with a difficult case to research.  Michelle 'Shelly' Knotek is one of the most dangerous women I have ever researched and she has been released after only serving 22 years.  The things she did to her family, spouses, children and "friends" is mindboggling.  Part One is the explanation of how Shelly grew up and her marriages to three different men.  There is a terrifying cycle that surrounds her and it begins when she is young.   Find all of our dumbassary at: https://linktr.ee/m3truecrimepod Sources: Music:  Listen on Spotify: https://go-stream.link/sp-nick-cleveland Track: Liar Artist: https://slip.stream/artists/nick-cleveland Music by Slip.stream: https://slip.stream/tracks/f64560d6-370f-49fa-bbac-4068205ef56b   Find all of our dumbassary at: https://linktr.ee/m3truecrimepod Sources: If You Tell: A True Story of Murder, Family Secrets, and the Unbreakable Bond of Sisterhood by Gregg Olsen Music:  Listen on Spotify: https://go-stream.link/sp-nick-cleveland Track: Liar Artist: https://slip.stream/artists/nick-cleveland Music by Slip.stream: https://slip.stream/tracks/f64560d6-370f-49fa-bbac-4068205ef56b

Holy Dumbfuckery Batman!!! Our Northern Twins, Courtney and Michelle, from In the Nick of Crime joined us in this AMAZING episode of potentially the most amazingly chaotic telling of lore from around the world. You will not be disappointed... We cover traditions from the two (yes, you read that right, 2) traditions from Spain that include poo to Krampus.

Join us in our 40th episode where Sam gives you details of the death, incorrect cause of death finding, and the fight for justice Lori "Sled Dog" Malloy. The cause of death is similar to Catrina Mowery's case from Episode 20, however, there is a huge difference. Lori's death was in Rhode Island and the officials there are willing to admit that somethings were done incorrectly and actively re-opened the case. We are hopeful that they will exhume Lori soon, so she and her family can finally see justice served.   Find all of our dumbassary at: https://linktr.ee/m3truecrimepod   Sources:   https://www.change.org/p/state-of-rhode-island-reopen-lori-lee-sled-dog-malloy-s-unsolved-homicide-investigation https://www.golocalprov.com/news/ri-woman-one-step-closer-to-exhuming-mothers-remains-and-getting-answers-ab https://turnto10.com/news/local/siblings-reunite-at-oakland-beach-after-more-than-20-years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGiAgnQ_W2Y https://www.facebook.com/groups/unsolvedrhodeisland/posts/474999710987392/     https://charleyproject.org/case/frank-robert-mazzella   Music:  Listen on Spotify: https://go-stream.link/sp-nick-cleveland Track: Liar Artist: https://slip.stream/artists/nick-cleveland Music by Slip.stream: https://slip.stream/tracks/f64560d6-370f-49fa-bbac-4068205ef56b

Join us in this frustrating cold case. Katrina was 27 years old when she disappeared. Due to the domestic violence and choices she made with her husband, Richard McVeigh, she was homeless at the time of her disappearance. Katrina attempted to leave her husband by going to a shelter. However, that was short lived, as he found out where she was and created such a scene, the shelter administrators chose to discharge her.   Katrina went missing in Woonsocket, Rhode Island in 1992 and there are still no answers to her disappearance.   I'm not sure why I was blindsided in the fact that this area was a cesspool in the 80's to early 2000's... the number of sexual assaults, cold cases, and murders during that time is astounding.
