    Almost Fiction EP46 Catherine May Wood and Gwendolyn Gail Graham Part 1
    Sep 3 2024
    Catherine May Wood was… an enigma. She constantly complained about how unfair her life was right before bragging about how she was in complete control, not only of her life, but also of the lives of those around her. She just couldn't seem to make up her mind claiming that she was both a victim, and a maestro, a tragic character beset by life, while also being the puppeteer controlling everything in her domain. Then, Gwendolyn Gail Graham entered into her life, and seemingly all hell broke loose.

    This week's case has a little bit of everything. I wish that there was more information, I wish there was more to find on this story, but what is available is enough to see that people like Ed Gien aren’t one of a kind.

    Aug 20 2024
    Steven Ray Thacker is one of those enigmas. He was no stranger to the law, with most of his run-ins usually for nonviolent crimes, until one day he just snapped killing three different people over a 10 day period. So, why did he do it?

    Robert Ronald Mudman Simon was a prototypical biker gang member not only in appearance but also in temperament. He really didn’t care about the world or those around him, unless they were in his gang. Human life was just not that important to him, and it showed.

    Anthony Allen Shore was a sexual sadist with no boundaries. He took what he wanted with no regard for others or their feelings. In essence, he was just another monster, but unlike some, he wanted to be put down.

    In the beginning it appeared as if Paul Eugene Rowles was an easy criminal to work with if there ever was such a thing.

    Almost every time he was confronted about a crime he would quickly crumble and admit to it if he was in fact the man who had committed the act, but eventually that all changed.

    Due to that fact we just can’t be sure exactly what he’s done, but what we do know is grim to say the least.

    Not much is known about Dennis Duane Webb because luckily for us, he was caught relatively early in his career. He was cold, heartless, and ignorant traits he thought were positive attributes rather than negative ones. Welcome back to yet another episode of Almost Fiction. Don’t forget to leave a review.
