  • Murder & Mayhem in Southeast Kansas: An interview with author Larry Wood

    Murder & Mayhem in Southeast Kansas: An interview with author Larry Wood
    Aug 15 2024
    From railroad towns like Ladore to cow towns like Newton and Wichita, southeast Kansas pulsed with rowdy activity during the late nineteenth century. The unruly atmosphere drew outlaws, including the Dalton Gang, and even crazed serial killers, the likes of the Bender clan. Violent incidents, from gunfights to lynchings, punctuated the region's Wild West era, and the allure of the frontier also attracted the everyday people whose passions sometimes spawned bloodshed as well. Award-winning author Larry E. Wood explores thirteen of these remarkable episodes in the criminal history of southeast Kansas. Buy HERE

Local historian Selden Richardson explores tales from a time when murder and mayhem stalked the streets of Richmond.

  • New Show: Watching Two Detectives

    New Show: Watching Two Detectives
    Jul 11 2024
    Hey, Crime Capsule fans, it's Ben here. We are putting the finishing touches on our new series on Crimes of Passion for the hot summer months. And as we do that, we have a special treat to share with you. We have an exciting new podcast from the award-winning Sarah Ferris Media, known for producing true crime hits like Conning the Con and Stop the Killing. Their latest release is called Watching Two Detectives and it is amazing. Hosted by retired New South Wales homicide detectives Scott Rogan and Peter Hogan, this podcast offers a unique and authentic perspective on some of the most intriguing cases they have ever worked on. The first season, titled If Tomorrow Never Comes, delves into the murder of Michael Furlong, a case that took an unexpected turn when the detectives reached out to Michael's family. Luke Furlong, Michael's son, had waited over 20 years to speak to the detectives who solved his father's case, turning this podcast into a heartfelt journey of truth and healing. What sets watching two detectives apart is its focus on the emotional impact on the victim's family and the continuous struggles they face, like confronting the potential release of the suspect every six months. chilling details of the case, including poisoned toothpaste and an elaborate drug smuggling plan, also add layers of suspense and intrigue. You can binge the entire first season early on Apple podcasts and Patreon, making it perfect for those who can't wait for weekly releases. Trust us. You are not going to want to miss this podcast. We will see you back here at Crime Capsule next week for Crimes of Passion. But until then, enjoy Watching Two Detectives.
