Story 1 – Cam The Bayou Killings (No actual Bayous)
Located about 90 miles north of Little Rock Arkansas is a little area called the Illinois Bayou. It has everything that you would think a bayou would have: bogs, marshes, and a very prehistoric kind of feel. Locals, as well as visitors, flock to the area to hit the water and see what kind of goodies they can reel in but sometimes the things that they catch on the other end of the line, is something no one would expect or want. That is exactly what happened, when a couple out for a day of fishing, reeled in a ghastly sight: a body part. Authorities rush to the scene and what they would uncover would only leave more questions and unveil a hidden sect of people whose strong beliefs include anti-government but does it also include murder? This is the story of the Kehoe family.

The most recent release from author Don Stradley is a jab of boxing with an uppercut of true crime. Slaughter in the Streets has just enough of each to keep you wanting to come back for the next round.

With each chapter covering a new criminal/boxer that you haven’t heard of yet it is hard to put this book down.

Everyone knows that Boxing has a dark side but have you heard the story of Edwin Valero?

I am not a big boxing fan and I can count the amount of times I have watched a boxing match on a hand or two but this book was riveting for me.

One side of the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre was Al Capone’s gang. Here Nina gets into the history of Al Capone.
It’s February 14th 1929. People are buying last minute gifts for their significant others, maybe receiving flowers from secret admirers, or maybe… just maybe… dying in a hail of gunfire. This episode is called The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre: well at least now I don’t have to buy a gift.
On Episode 10 we welcome our new full time host Nina into the mix. We also delve deep into conspiracy theories. From the far fetched to the ones you would wish were far fetched.

Ant Hill Kids is a terrifying story of a cult out of first Quebec and then Ontario Canada. Running from 1977 to 1989 the cult was full of torture and fear. Hard to believe it grew out of a Charismatic member of the Mormon Church. This story is triggering and horrible take that as a warning.
