Jesse Lee Calhoun // 378

In the early months of 2023, six women turned up dead in and around Portland, Oregon, sparking rumors of a serial killer. Though police originally claimed they did not believe that the cases were connected, similarities emerged between four of the women, and one man linked them all. To the dismay of the public, not only did this suspect have multiple other crimes under his belt, but he had been granted early release from prison for fighting forest fires on the west coast. These are the stories of Kristin Smith, Charity Perry, Bridget Webster, Joanna Speaks, Ashley Real, and an unidentified Native woman. It’s also the story of Jesse Lee Calhoun. Sources: 1.

Deanne Hastings // 377

In November of 2015, a 35-year-old woman left her Spokane, Washington home late one night to run an errand, leaving a note behind for her fiancé. When she never returned, her fiancé went looking for her, and discovered her locked car abandoned near a music venue with her purse and phone inside. When sightings of her acting strangely poured in from another side of town, suspicions of a mental health crisis were raised, until theories emerged about the two men who were last seen accompanying her, as well as her fiancé himself. This is the story of Deanne Hastings. Sources: 1. KHQ: https://www.khq.com/man-arrested-for-using-missing-womans-credit-cards/video_b50a8238-78ac-11eb-8c01-7f5d1fffc556.html 2.

In January of 2008, a 26-year-old pregnant woman and her young daughter were found dead along a railroad track in South Carolina, leading investigators to believe that she had purposefully taken their lives.

Cheyann Klus // 368

In November of 2017, a 22-year-old woman went missing in Chicago after sending a string of urgent text messages to a friend. Nearly two weeks later, a 911 call was made from her cell phone, but the call ended almost as soon as it was made. When it was traced back to her phone, police discovered that the call originated from a nature preserve 45 minutes away from where she went missing. And as if the situation couldn’t get more perplexing, the location of her remains completely stumped the police. This is the story of Cheyann Klus.

Maggie Long // 367

In December of 2017, a 17-year-old girl headed home to change before volunteering at a holiday concert at her high school. A short while later, a different resident of the household called 911 to report a break in, but by the time her family arrived at the scene, the house was engulfed in flames. But with a confusing investigation and misreporting on the police’s end, the community and family would be left with more questions than answers. So what really happened that night? This is the story of Maggie Long. BONUS EPISODES Apple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-west-true-crime/id1448151398 Patreon: patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1.

This is the murder of Hallie Illingworth, otherwise known as The Lady of Lake Crescent.  BONUS EPISODES Apple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-west-true-crime/id1448151398 Patreon: patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1.

David Carter // 346

In October of 2018, dismembered remains of a male body started turning up along the highway in Ohio. At the same time, a 39-year-old father from Michigan was reported missing by his family. When the disappearance and the scattered remains were found to be linked, his family had only one potential suspect in mind. But when police were forced to release them due to a lack of evidence, they fled the area, and haven’t been seen since. This is the murder of David Carter.  BONUS EPISODES Apple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-west-true-crime/id1448151398 Patreon: patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1.

Jeremiah Lexer & Lizzie Borden // 345

In July of 1902, a wealthy Tennessee plantation owner went on a murderous rampage in the middle of the night, killing his entire family with an ax. But what they found at his home after his death was even more horrifying. Since the tragic slaying of six innocent people that night, and dozens of others over the years, the home has been turned into one of the scariest haunted houses in America: Frightmare Manor. This is the story of murderer Jeremiah Lexer. But 10 years earlier, an even more well-known ax murder case occurred just a few states away when a young woman is believed to have murdered her father and stepmother. So this is also the story of Lizzie Borden.

Christine & Christa Belusko // 341

In September of 1991, a 30-year-old woman vanished from a lodge in Pennsylvania. Although she was found shortly after, badly beaten, strangled, and burned on a beach in New York, it took 30 years to identify her body. And when police did, it only deepened the mystery, because, as it turns out, her young daughter is still missing. This is the story of Christine Belusko, and her daughter Christa.

Jeannette DePalma // 339

In August of 1972, a 16-year-old girl went missing in New Jersey. Although police initially insisted she had run away, her body was found six weeks later at the top of a cliff near an abandoned quarry. Due to the disturbing and controversial scene in which her body was discovered, her death was ruled a homicide, and some suspect she was actually a ritual sacrifice for demonic activity. This is the story of Jeannette DePalma.

Storm & Adagio Talifero // 325

In June of 2018, a vegan blogger and his son allegedly set sail from California, bound for Hawaii on a three month excursion. After they failed to contact family, it seemed as if they had both vanished at sea. But when one of their bodies washed ashore, their family began to suspect that there was never a boating trip after all. As the father’s complicated history came to light, far more sinister theories came into play. These are the disappearances of Gerald “Storm” Talifero, and his son, Adagio Talifero.

In November of 2021, a 39-year-old man vanished in Los Angeles during an Uber ride across the city in broad daylight. He texted 911 for help along his way, but when the dispatcher reached out, he didn’t respond. He never arrived at his destination, and was never seen again, despite his driver claiming he had been dropped off. But as of this week, some answers have come to the case. This is the story of Beau Mann. BONUS EPISODES Apple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-west-true-crime/id1448151398 Patreon: patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1.

Madeline Kingsbury // 302

In March of 2023, a young mom of two dropped her children off at daycare, returned home, and then seemingly vanished from inside her own house. The father of her children, with whom she shared the house, borrowed her car to run errands, and claims he returned to find her gone. But if that really is how the day went, as he described, why was her car seen driving down the highway in the opposite direction of their home? And why has he refused to assist in the search efforts? This is the story of Madeline Kingsbury.  MADDI GOFUND ME: https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-search-for-maddi CRIMESTOPPERS PHONE: 1-800-222-TIPS WINONA PD: 1-507-457-6302 Megan Venmo: @MgnLiz Megan Tiktok: @MegMpls BONUS EPISODES Apple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-west-true-crime/id1448151398 Patreon: patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1.

In June of 2011, a young man fell 17 stories to his death out of his Oklahoma apartment window. Surprisingly, his pregnant wife admitted to pushing him out, but claims it was an accident. After being put on trial and imprisoned, she was found dead in her cell, and although her death was ruled a suicide, her family strongly disagrees, and believes it was a murder.

Tiffany Valiante // 298

In July of 2015, an 18-year-old woman ran from her parents’ New Jersey home during an argument, and never returned. Just hours after being captured on a security camera heading in the direction of the woods, her remains were recovered on a nearby train track. Although it appeared, at first glance, that she had been hit by a train and killed, her family believes that this was a cover up for her murder. This is the story of Tiffany Valiante.

Maura Murray // 277

In February of 2004, a 21-year-old nursing student vanished after being involved in a car accident in New Hampshire. When police arrived at the scene, she was gone, and to this day, she has never been found. Does her disappearance have anything to do with what she had been searching online the night before she went missing? Or did she get into the car with a stranger to leave the scene of her accident? With numerous theories floating around, they all lead to the same question: Where is she? This is the story of Maura Murray.

Belinda Temple // 276

In January of 1999, a 30-year-old pregnant mother was found murdered in her Texas bedroom closet. Police suspected her high school football coach husband from the beginning, but it wasn’t until eight years later that they would have enough evidence to convict him. And even after two trials, he still maintains that she was killed by burglars. So what really happened? This is the murder of Belinda Temple.

The WVU Coed Murders // 275

In January of 1970, two freshman students at West Virginia University disappeared while hitchhiking after seeing a movie. While police originally thought the girls may have run away, suspicious letters began to arrive that suggested otherwise. After their beheaded bodies were found, police began a relentless search to find their ruthless killer. But so far, all they’ve gotten is a false confession. These are the unsolved murders of Karen Ferrell and Mared Malarik. BONUS EPISODES patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1.

Lacy Miller // 273

In January of 2003, a 20-year-old college student in Colorado didn’t return home after a night out with friends. One week later, her body was found in a canyon outside of the city, clearly having been abducted and murdered. As police investigated the case, they uncovered that her killer had posed as a police officer, and pulled her over for a routine traffic stop before she disappeared, and that Lacy’s phony traffic stop wasn’t the first time it had occurred.

The Snaggletooth Killer // 265

In December of 1991, a bar manager was closing up for the night when she was attacked and murdered by an unknown man. When bite marks on her chest led investigators to a local patron, he was arrested and for her first-degree murder. But would his teeth impressions be enough evidence to prove his guilt? With the re-surfacing of a mysterious note left at the bar the night after the murder, and the testing of certain DNA evidence, all would be uncovered. This is the story of Kim Ancona, a case also called The Snaggletooth Killer.

Tent Girl // 258

In 1968, the decomposing body of a young woman was found on the side of the road in Kentucky. With the lack of DNA testing, and no indication of her identity found at the crime scene, she remained a Jane Doe for over three decades. But in the 90s, a young man became obsessed with bringing her home to her family, and he eventually did just that. This is the story of Barbara Ann Hackmann, also known as Tent Girl.

The Montana State Park Killer // 210

“Is this Susie’s Mom?”  “Yes it is.”  “Well I’m the guy that took her from you.” This was the type of taunting phone call received by the mother of a young girl kidnapped at their Montana campsite. The search for her abductor led the FBI to a vicious serial killer, and began the process of creating psychological profiles in order to catch predators.

The Evansdale Murders // 209

In July of 2012, two girls disappeared in Evansdale, Iowa while riding their bikes. Police set out looking for them right away, but despite an exhaustive search, receiving tips from locals, and finding CCTV footage of the girls, all the investigation turned up was their bikes. Five months later, both of their bodies were found, but was this the work of a serial killer, or someone else hiding right under everyone's noses? This the story of Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins, also known as the Evansdale Murders. BONUS EPISODE patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1.

Betty Gore // 208

In the summer of 1980, a beloved 30-year-old schoolteacher, wife, and mother was murdered with an ax in her Texas home while her husband was away on a business trip. This killing and the subsequent discovery of her killer were so shocking that both Hulu and HBO Max have shows based on the case, though the belief of what really happened that fateful day remains divided. This is the story of Betty Gore.

Moriah Wilson // 207

In May of 2022, a 25-year-old elite bicyclist traveled to Austin, Texas for a race. But after hanging out with another cyclist and previous romantic interest of hers, she was murdered.

Weeks later, an anonymous call came into a local news station from a man claiming to know exactly what happened to her. Between a suspicious newspaper personal ad, potential ties to a well-known serial killer, and new bewildering DNA evidence, this case is loaded with incredibly conflicting suspicions. This is the story of Kristen Modafferi.

In 2006, a beautiful and intelligent 17-year-old girl in Colorado was savagely murdered in her home just days after getting into an argument with a police officer as well as days after her dog suspiciously went missing.

The Starved Rock Murders // 84

In 1960, three Chicago women set off on a week-day getaway to a nearby lodge. After spending their first afternoon enjoying some lunch, they left for a stroll through the snowy park nearby- and they never returned. When a blizzard hit the following night and none of the staff realized the women were missing, the investigation started late- and potential evidence was lost from the new blankets of snow in the area. But one piece of evidence left at the scene would help put the pieces together. These are the murders of Lillian Oetting, Frances Murphy, and Mildred Linquist. Also known, as the Starved Rock Murders.

Lake Waco Murders // 46

In 1982, three Texas teenagers went out to watch the sunset over Lake Waco and didn't come home by curfew. When the night passed, their families feared the worst. But that following evening, their bodies would be discovered at a different park across the lake, and an intense investigation would begin. This is the story of the murders of Jill Montgomery, Raylene Rice, and Kenneth Franks. This is the case of the Lake Waco Murders. ______________________________ Anaheim investigator Julissa Trapp is not like other detectives. She’s the only woman on the homicide squad, and a skilled chameleon: undercover cop in vice stings, crime-scene commander, patient confidante of killers. A master interrogator, she invokes her personal experience – and deepest griefs -- as a tool to elicit confessions. When a young woman’s body is found at a trash-sorting plant, Trapp learns the murder may be linked to the disappearance of three other women in nearby Santa Ana. Trapp embarks on a dark journey that brings her face to face with a man who takes “a little piece of her soul.” Listen now at: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1485636621 ________________________ *Case Sources* https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/the-murders-at-the-lake/ https://www.wacotrib.com/news/crime/last-lake-waco-triple-murder-defendant-dies-in-prison/article_0e671f9a-4171-594a-987c-82199afd628c.html https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/crime/sons-of-man-executed-for-lake-waco-murders-sue-texas/433127124 https://historydojo.blog/2019/09/23/the-case-of-the-lonely-loser/ https://murderpedia.org/male.S/s1/spence-david-wayne.htm Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
