  • Summary

  • Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today we meet up with local artist and musician, Sophia Shortz as she takes us through the tragic case of Sonja McCaskie. In April 1963, the brutal murder of 23-year-old Sonja McCaskie, a British Olympic skier, shocked the tranquil community of Reno, Nevada. Sonja, a single mother who was known for her grace and athletic prowess, was found strangled and mutilated in her apartment, a crime so horrific it left the local police and residents reeling. The perpetrator, Thomas Lee Bean, a troubled teenager, was swiftly apprehended and confessed to the heinous act, revealing disturbing details that hinted at deep-seated psychological issues. This chilling case not only highlighted the vulnerabilities faced by young women but also brought to light the dark undercurrents lurking beneath seemingly peaceful communities. Join us as we snack on unbelievably delicious milkshakes from The Exotic Milkshake Bar and go through the details of this case.
