Today’s case is one of the most bizarre in Germany’s crime history. It’s June 2006 and Germany is hosting the World Cup, with millions of people out and about watching the games. On June 20th, Frauke Liebs, 21, disappeared without a trace after walking home from an Irish Pub in downtown Paderborn. What’s so disturbing about this, is that Frauke still sent mysterious text messages and called almost every day for a week, before they abruptly stopped. Her heavily decomposed body was found a few months later, with no leads as to what happened to Frauke. If you have information about Frauke’s murder, please call Kriminalpolizei Bielefeld: +49-0521-5450 Sources: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordfall_Frauke_Liebs https://www.nw.de/nachrichten/zwischen_weser_und_rhein/23593196_Mutter-von-Frauke-Liebs-beendet-die-Suche-Es-wird-Zeit-abzuschliessen.html https://www.stern.de/panorama/verbrechen/frauke-liebs/frauke-liebs--mutter-schaltet-hinweisseite-nach-17-jahren-ab-33732012.html https://www.tcdet.net/file1.html Support the Show.

Subscriber-only episode "I realize now that he was right when he said our battles would continue until one of us was dead." These are the words from a betrayed wife whose husband seemed to be as bent on her destruction as she was determined to get him back from another woman who took him away. Betty Broderick’s life became notorious due to a highly publicized case in the late 1980s. She was married to Dan Broderick, a successful attorney, with whom she had four children. The couple's marriage ended in a contentious and acrimonious divorce in the late 1980s, after Dan left Betty for his assistant, Linda Kolkena. Betty's behavior following the divorce became increasingly erratic and obsessive. She repeatedly harassed her ex-husband and his new wife, even after multiple restraining orders were issued against her. In 1989, Betty Broderick broke into her ex-husband's home and fatally shot both Daniel and Linda as they slept. The case received widespread media attention and became the subject of books, a TV movie, and a television series. Betty Broderick was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder in 1991 and is still serving a sentence of 32 years to life in prison. Her case continues to fascinate people due to its complex dynamics of marriage, divorce, and revenge. Thanks for listening! Follow us on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.

Subscriber-only episode Laura Parker was a quiet 14 year old girl, who lived with her parents in Lindenhurst, New York. She had been in choir, active in church, and a softball player at her high school. She disappeared on May 25, 1984, but most people believed that she was a runaway. Laura’s parents knew better and wondered where she was, searching everywhere. Four months later, her remains were discovered a few miles from her family home. Her killer has never been found. Around the same time, three other young girls fell victim to disappearances/murders in the same area and it is believed that Laura could be connected to these cases. Sixteen-year-old Theresa Fusco, fifteen-year-old Kelly Morrisey, and nineteen-year-old Jacqueline Martarella were all predicted to have been taken from walking down the same road. Laura Parker’s story is a tragic one, because her community wasn’t helpful at the time of her disappearance, and many of the students at the high school were unwilling to talk to the police. There were a great deal of conspiracy theories surrounding her case, and rumors flying around about what had happened to the young teen. People claimed that she had overdosed, while others claimed she was murdered. The police said it was natural causes. But what truly happened to young Laura Parker? It is nearly the fortieth anniversary of Laura’s death, and there are still so many questions surrounding her death. This is an unsolved murder that is currently under investigation. If you have any information for police please contact the Suffolk County Police Department at: (631) 852-6000. If you are a part of her high school class, please get in touch with them!

Subscriber-only episode Not long after Robert Spangler learned he was dying of cancer, detectives came knocking at his door on the chance he had something he might want to get off his chest before the end came. And he didn’t disappoint them. Spangler matter-of-factly admitted killing his family in 1978 and pushing his third wife, Donna, to her death at the Grand Canyon 15 years later. The death of his second wife, Sharon, was ruled as suicide and was never investigated. Death, it seems, had always been an “easy way out” for him.

Today we talk about a Valentine’s Day murder of a mother and her children which is sometimes referred to as the “Lonely Hearts Murders”. On February 14, 1985 Cassandra Rundle and her two children were found brutally murdered in their Colorado Springs home. In the months before her death, Cassandra had taken out personal ads in a local newspaper. She received more than 80 responses and made contact with several men, but no evidence could be found to link any of them to the murders. Years later Police looked at a former soldier named Philip E. Wilkinson, who is currently sitting on death row in North Carolina for the 1992 triple slaying of a mother and her two children. Even though that crime had so many similarities to the Rundle murders, 39 years later the murders of Cassandra and her children remain unsolved. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Colorado Springs Police Department at (719) 444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
