  Midwest Murder

  Trial by Fire E154

  Sep 20, 20261h 2m

  For years the beatings didn't stop, the police wouldn't help, and the courts looked the other way. Then one night something broke, and she set the bedroom on fire while he slept, then drove straight to the sheriff's office to confess. It's the story of the marriage, the night it ended, and the trial that helped change how the country treats domestic violence. Victim: James “Mickey” Hughes Location: Dansville, MI Recorded live at, and in support of, the Roosevelt Park Zoo.

  In November 1973, five teenagers rode out to Gitchie Manitou to sit around a fire. Only one came back, and at first, no one believed what she said had happened out there. It’s the story of the night at the park, the three brothers behind it, and a motive that never once added up.

  Half a Mile From Home E150

  Jul 27, 20261h 2m

  In July of 2016, a twenty-year-old woman went for a bike ride home in rural Ohio and never made it. Investigators found her bike in a cornfield within hours, but it would take three days and a chance conversation with a neighbor to uncover the truth about what happened to her. And the man responsible had done something almost identical twenty-six years earlier.
