Michelle Martinko: “Forever 18” | MURDERISH Ep. 202

In S1 E1 of Dirty Money Moves, we left off with a discussion about Mary Carole McDonnell’s seemingly bright future. This is a woman who proclaimed herself to be the heiress to the McDonnell Douglas fortune. McDonnell Douglas was a major aerospace manufacturing company which was purchased by Boeing in 1997. In the previous episode, we also delved into Mary Carole’s life and discovered the truth about her family history, which had nothing to do with the aerospace industry. Mary Carole had a tendency to lie and overspend. Despite that, her career path in the tv business led her to being hired as the Executive VP of programming for Raycom Media. She started making good money, and bought real estate like it was going out of style. It seemed like the phony heiress was doing whatever she could to live up to the fake persona, spending lavishly and racking up debt. Eventually, Mary Carole began building a media empire of her own, Bellum Entertainment, while maintaining her position at Raycom. It went well …for a while. Bellum Entertainment turned out to be nothing more than a flimsy house of cards that would eventually come crashing down all around her. Follow Jami Rice on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube @JamiOnAir.

In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Westdale Mall had its grand opening just in time for the 1979 Christmas season. It instantly became a popular hangout. Many high school kids got their first job at the mall, including 18-year-old Michelle Martinko. Tragically, Michelle was fatally stabbed in the Westdale Mall parking lot on December 19th, 1979. The violent incident dissolved all sense of safety at the mall, making it feel like the most dangerous place in Cedar Rapids. Her killer would remain elusive for nearly 40 years.

Some murder cases are easier to solve than others. Any complications, from an undetermined cause of death to an inability to locate a body, can hinder the course of justice. On January 24th, 1988, 46-year-old Janet Overton collapsed in her Southern California driveway. Though she’d fallen ill months earlier, medical experts couldn’t identify her affliction even on the last day of her life. An investigation into the events leading to Janet’s untimely death puzzled detectives. A few months down the line an unexpected phone call would provide valuable insights.

In 2018, a wealthy heiress named Mary Carole McDonnell walked into Banc of California in Los Angeles, CA to deliver homemade pies to some of the commercial bankers who worked there. The pies were a “thank you” from Mary Carole for all of the hard work and effort put into the $15 million loan the bank was about to fund for the heiress. The bankers were thankful for the delicious pies, but had no idea this would be the last time Mary Carole would be seen in the United States. The first payment on the substantial loan came due but Mary Carole was nowhere to be found. The bank soon learned that Mary Carole never intended to repay the loan as nearly all of the documentation provided was falsified. The FBI got involved and today, Mary Carole McDonnell faces several federal charges and has been placed on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.
