We give you a story of survival against unimaginable odds; this is the story of Shasta Groene. Shasta was kidnapped, witnessed the unbelievable, and lived to tell her story. Her life completely changed on May 15, 2005, when she witnessed her family being murdered and was taken by a complete stranger along with her brother. The next day, May 16, deputies responded to a call at the Groene residence, not expecting to see what they walked into. Which was a complete shock. Blood covered the walls and floors, and the lifeless bodies of Brenda Groene, her boyfriend Mark McKenzie, and Brenda's 13-year-old son Slade were lying in the living room. It was the scene of an unspeakable attack. Who could have done this to this family?

On a frigid morning in January 2022, Boston police officer John O'Keefe was found lifeless outside the home of fellow officer Brian Albert in Canton, Massachusetts. Just hours earlier, O'Keefe had been dropped off at the residence by his girlfriend, Karen Read, to attend a gathering. The chilling discovery led to his transport to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. This incident has since ignited intense scrutiny and legal proceedings against Karen Read. In this episode, we delve into the haunting details of that night and explore the burning question: Was Karen Read framed, or did she murder her boyfriend?

Betty Bowman, 32, and her husband, Connor, 30, appeared to have an idyllic life. They met at the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy; after graduation, she became an operating room pharmacist, and he started medical school, moonlighting as a poison control specialist. The couple openly maintained an open relationship, agreeing to see other people on the condition of full transparency about any partners. Everything seemed perfect until August 16, when Betty went to the emergency room in Rochester, Minnesota, with severe food poisoning. Over the next four days, her condition inexplicably worsened, leading to her death from organ failure. When Connor attempted to cancel the autopsy and expedite Betty's cremation, her grieving friends became alarmed. Is Connor Bowman trying to cover something up? As suspicions mount, the bitter secrets hidden beneath their perfect facade begin to surface.

This story is hard to listen to, but I feel so drawn to it and have this need to share it on the podcast because I grew up in the same area where this happened, so it’s very near and dear to my heart. I came across this story from someone who shared it with me that I know personally. This may not be a very lengthy episode, but it’s a big one, especially for the family affected. This week’s story involves a child who was murdered in a tragic, horrific way, and because of the nature of this crime, please be advised, especially if you have young ears listening, that the details surrounding this case are graphic and may be disturbing.

The conclusion to the Cleveland Strangler. Anthony Sowell is a serial killer who was active in the Cleveland, Ohio area between 2007 and 2009. Sowell was arrested in 2009 after the police discovered the remains of eleven women in and around his house on Imperial Avenue in Cleveland. The victims of Sowell's crimes were predominantly African-American women who were vulnerable and had struggled with addiction and poverty. Sowell targeted these women, many of who were sex workers, and lured them to his home under false pretenses before assaulting, raping, and strangling them. He then buried their bodies in and around his property, where they remained hidden for months and years. Sowell's crimes were significant due to their gruesome nature, the high number of victims, and the fact that they took place over an extended period of time without being detected by law enforcement. The case drew widespread attention from the media and the public, highlighting the issues of poverty, addiction, and violence against vulnerable women. Support us! Want ad free listening?

Join us on the next episode of Crime Salad where we explore a case of life imitating art. Romance Writer Nancy Brophy wrote an essay on how to get away with murdering your husband. By all accounts, she was happily married to chef Daniel Brophy at the time. But then Dan who worked as a Chef at the Oregon Culinary Institute as an instructor was found murdered by one of his students. Later surveillance cameras would show Nancy's van circling the crime scene while she told police she was still in bed. After being arrested she conveniently couldn't remember what happened during the hour she drove around the murder scene. She chalked up her inconsistencies to shock. However, at the time of her Trial, she testified that she was sure she couldn't have murdered her husband based on the feelings in her heart. Support us! Want ad free listening?

Join us on the next episode of Crime Salad where we examine the explosive ending of a picture perfect marriage located in the picturesque town of Cary, North Carolina. From the outside everyone thought Brad and Nancy Cooper had the perfect marriage. Brad was the perfect husband, Nancy was the perfect wife and they even had two perfect daughters to complete the picture. But underneath was a marriage built on control, mistrust, infidelity and abuse. The facade came crashing down when Nancy went missing on July 12, 2008. Just two days later her body was found near a remote storm drain. It would take an entire community, each holding a piece of the puzzle to bring Nancy's killer to justice. Support us!

Imagine for a second that you're being interrogated for murder. Your girlfriend's murder, to be precise. But you're having a hard time grasping that she even died. Your memory of what happened, or even your memory of your girlfriend's age and last name are blurry at best. The words you want to say aren't coming out right, and the determined detective sitting across from you won't let up. You're trying to cooperate, but your head is THROBBING with pain and your eye is swollen shut and bleeding. Because you've been shot in the head twice and survived it, only to be arrested for a crime you didn't commit. Support us! Want ad free listening?

Join us on the next episode of Crime Salad where we examine the 2009 disappearance of Brittanee Drexel. A 17 year old girl who secretly went on a spring break trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with a group of friends, never to return. For 13 years she was lost until investigators looked back through their original list of suspects and finally brought her remains home to her family. This case highlights the failures in our broken criminal justice system. If Brittanee's murderer served his entire sentence for previously committed heinous crime, he never would have crossed paths with Brittanee Drexel on April 25th, 2009. Support us!

The conclusion to The Phone Call. In this episode police are no closer to finding Heather than they were the day she vanished. To complicate matters, the police were having to contend with interference by the Elvis family and well meaning members of the public. In this episode both the Elvis Family and the Moorer family have taken to social media accusing the other of harassment. Local law enforcement tried some tactics to force cooperation in the case which led to 4 trials, with one ending in a mistrial. Will Heather Elvis ever find justice? As we approach another seemingly never ending anniversary of her disappearance, Heather's whereabouts still remain unknown. Support us! Want ad free listening?

To all who knew Michelle and Jason Young, they appeared to be the ideal couple living in a picturesque community in Raleigh, North Carolina. All of that came to a sudden end In the early morning hours of November 3rd, 2006 when an intruder brutally strangled Michelle and bludgeoned her to death.

While calling 911, Meredith was startled to discover her 2 year old niece, hiding under the covers next to her mother's dead body.

In March of 2020, Gretchen Anthony began sending texts to family and friends telling them she had tested positive for Covid-19. There was still so much unknown about the virus as the entire world began shutting down. Her family became highly concerned when they couldn't get her on the phone. Many of the texts from Gretchen were filled with poor spelling and grammar. Then she stopped sharing her phone location with her 12 year old daughter. The last text anyone received from Gretchen said she was being transferred to a CDC covid site and would be placed on a ventilator, unable to communicate. After a wellcheck at her home by law enforcement, it became clear that someone was using Covid as an alibi to cover up a horrific crime. Join us on the next episode of Crime Salad where we examine a mind unraveling into paranoia ending in a senseless death of a beloved, Mother, Daughter, Sister and Friend. Support us!

In this case, there is no moral about remembering to lock the door behind you. There's no advice on how to dress, where to go, or what to do to stay safe. In this case, 27 year old Lauren Giddings did everything right. She was friendly, compassionate, and caring towards her neighbor, a man a bit younger than her who everyone else thought was a bit too weird. Lauren joked that if he was dangerous, she would be the only one who was spared.... Because she always treated him right and with kindness. But, when she was found murdered during the summer of 2011, she couldn't have been more wrong. Support us! Want ad free listening?

Jelani Day was such a dedicated student that when he didn't show up for class on August 24th, 2021, his professor immediately knew something was wrong. Jelani Day was such a caring son that when his mother texted him, and he didn't call her back right away to chat, Carmen Bolden Day knew that something had happened to her baby. When his body was found in the Illinois River in a town he had no connection to weeks after his disappearance, the police seemed content to label his death a suicide or an accident--but with the facts and evidence gathered, Carmen and the rest of Jelani's family are sure that Jelani didn't end up in the water of his own accord. How did a young Black man with so much promise and things to live for wind up in a river of a small town an hour away from his home? Support us! Want ad free listening?

If you've turned on the news at all this month, then we're sure almost all of you have heard about this case. It's been everywhere for the last few weeks. Beyond people's interest in the mystery behind the case itself, the disappearance and death of Gabby Petito has brought up important conversations about unseen domestic abuse, which cases get prioritized in the media, and how regular people can make the biggest difference when solving cases.

After reading, or listening, to enough true crime, you might find the cases become somewhat formulaic. A person goes missing, a search party is sent out, a body is found, an arrest is ma de. Our case this week, though, is anything but that. Instead of inching closer to a solution, each new update only seems to generate more controversy and mystery around the Murdaugh Family.

Colleen was a young, well-loved math teacher in a small Massachusetts town, and her killer was a quiet, but seemingly kind, freshman soccer player.

When it comes to true crime, one of the biggest names that people think of is BTK--a serial killer whose reign of terror over Wichita, Kansas lasted more than 15 years. But while BTK might be the most famous killer, for the people of Wichita, Reginald and Jonathan Carr's week long crime and killing spree caused citizens to fear for their lives both while out and inside their own homes. In the 20 years since the Carr Brothers committed what is now dubbed the Wichita Horror or Wichita Massacre, they have filed multiple appeals, keeping their crimes in headlines in town and preventing closure for the families who lost so much. Sponsors: Dame Products Go to dameproducts.com/CRIMESALAD today for 15% off sitewide.

A few months back, we covered the 2004 case of Lisa Marie Montgomery--a woman who murdered Bobbie Jo Stinnet as she brutally cut open Bobbie Jo's abdomen to take her unborn baby. This case made national headlines, and in 2021, Lisa Marie became the first woman to be executed by the federal government in decades. Our case this week follows a similar trajectory. A 22 year old pregnant woman was lured into a neighbor's apartment, only to be attacked, killed, and had her unborn baby stolen from her womb.

In 2019, Kevin was working as a hairdresser while finishing up a degree in Applied Psychology. On Christmas Eve of that year, he ventured out to meet a man he had been chatting with on the dating Grindr. When he didn't make it to a Christmas breakfast the next morning, his family and friends knew that something terrible had happened. But as the investigation unfolded, what they found was worse than they could have imagined. Since meeting new people in the 21st century often involves dating apps or online platforms, getting together in person for the first time can be nerve racking. As Kevin's story proves, it's important to make sure you really know who you're meeting. It could be the difference between life and death.

To give you a little bit of background, Vanessa Guillen was born and raised in Houston, Texas where she lived with her mother, father, and five other siblings. She loved to run, play sports, particularly soccer, and was an avid weightlifter. Vanessa, like the rest of her family, was devoutly Catholic, and committed to her education, graduating in the top 15% of her high school class. According to Vanessa's mom, she had talked about joining the military since she was 10 years old and when she graduated from high school Vanessa enlisted right away in the US Army. Like any mother, Gloria Guillen was worried for her daughter after she enlisted, but Vanessa was adamant and wanted to defend her country. Vanessa was particularly close with her older sister, Mayra who recently turned 22. Mayra flew out for Vanessa's graduation from basic training, and supported her sister's ambition to be in the army, even when their mother wasn't quite so sure. Mayra remembers her sister telling their mother, who only speaks Spanish, about her choice to enlist: "Without a doubt, mami, it is the law of life."
