268. MURDER: Who Killed Dean and Tina?

First, an update on a case we covered in 2022 in episode 141: Where is Fawn Marie Mountain? Then- this week’s episode: In January 1981, two bodies were discovered north of Houston, Texas, and would remain unidentified for over 40 years. When the Harris County does were finally identified in 2011, it solved one mystery—but now there were more questions—who had killed them, why had they been murdered, and most importantly, where was their baby girl? If you have any information about the Dean and Tina Clouse, including any knowledge of their time with The Christ Family, please contact the Texas Attorney General’s Cold Case and Missing Persons Unit at 512-936-0742 or email coldcaseunit@oag.texas.gov and/or babyhollytips@oag.texas.gov.

202. MURDER: The End of Kim Wall’s Impressive Life

In 2017, Swedish journalist Kim Wall boarded the submarine of a local inventor/entrepreneur, with plans to write a story about him. At 30, Kim had an impressive resume of achievements and accolades, and prided herself on listening to the people she interviewed, telling their stories in the way that only she could. This time, she’d become the topic of the story, and it would overshadow her accomplishments. Let’s try to undo that. When you talk about this one to people, be sure and talk about the real story—how tragic it is that a woman as talented as Kim Wall, who would’ve undoubtedly gone on to make a difference in countless lives, was senselessly taken from the world at 30 years old.

188. MURDER: The Osage Reign of Terror

(This episode was originally released as an extra Patreon episode, but it’s one that we want more people to know about, so here it is on the regular feed!) This story enrages us. Just be prepared. In the late 19th century, oil was found on land owned by the Osage people in Oklahoma. By the 1920s, this oil, as well as smart negotiating moves by the Osage, would make the Osage people “the richest nation, clan, or social group of any race on earth, including the whites, man for man.” Of course, this made the Osage targets of those who wanted their money. And just wait until you hear how this all played out.

Special Episode! MURDER: The Death of Maribel Torres

In 2018, the remains of Maribel Torres were discovered in a canal in Miami, and her husband Jimmy was charged with her murder. He is currently awaiting trial, and the allegations presented against him in this episode stem from statements made by the victim’s sister as well as a witness who led police to Maribel’s body.  In Miami, a nonprofit organization called KidSide provides funding for Family Court Services, a unit that provides critical assistance, counseling, and other resources to children from low-income families involved in high conflict court cases. Without KidSide, many kids wouldn’t have access to these life-changing services that provide vital protection for underserved children in crisis. When Jimmy Torres was arrested and charged with second-degree murder after his wife’s body was found, their children received assistance from Family Court Services in the form of individual therapy and supervised visits with their father.  Kara and I are participating in Give Miami Day to raise money for KidSide. We’re really hoping you guys will help us throw a lot of money at this organization that exists to help children who are already in crisis, who are at risk for further problems later in life. To join us and donate to KidSide, go to: https://www.givemiamiday.org/fundraise/15906/join-me-in-supporting-kidside-inc. The giving window opens Monday, November 15 and closes Thursday, November 18.

Please check out her work and keep her in mind for gifts for yourself or others, and support a fellow WMMM listener!

61. MURDER: A Survivor's Story

Back when we first started the podcast, Brook Fisher contacted Kara about a shocking murder that happened in Kentucky in the summer of 1999. Today’s sidepiece is about what happened to Brook’s family, but it’s also about empathy and resilience. Brook—you are such a light.  UPDATE 8/25/21: Terry's sister has contacted us and objects to her brother, or his serious mental illness, being exploited for the personal and/or emotional gain of anyone else. We discussed taking this episode down, but ultimately we decided that the discussion about mental health in this episode was important to us. Not all crimes are black and white. When it comes to mental health, the way our society views mental illness and the systems in place to help those who suffer from it both need a substantial amount of work. We sincerely apologize to anyone who feels that we are exploiting a person or his mental illness—it is certainly not our intent, but we recognize that it’s a painful topic.

42. QUEEN: Nellie Bly, Investigative Journalist

Sometimes, we just want to talk about badass women. Today’s episode covers one of those, and introduces a new category of stories—the QUEENS.

If you’re looking for a story that shows just how amazing a woman can be (especially a turn-of-the-century woman), this is it. We hope you’re as crazy about her as we are.  Want more content?

31. MYSTERY: How Did the Jamison Family Die?

The Jamison Family—Bobby, Sherilynn, and Madyson—vanished from Eufaula, Oklahoma in 2009. Although their bodies were eventually found four years later, we still don’t know why anyone would want them dead or who could be responsible. We’re not even completely sure how they died. Were they murdered in a drug deal gone wrong? Did they stumble upon something they shouldn’t have? Was it murder-suicide? Was it witchcraft?  Want more content?

10: MYSTERY: The Voynich Manuscript

In 1912, Wilfred Voynich purchased a mysterious manuscript filled with elegant looping handwriting interspersed with drawings of plants, the cosmos, and naked women.
