  • Unraveling the Lake Waco Murders, A Texas Tragedy
    Mar 5 2024

    Have you ever been gripped by the chilling echoes of an unsolved crime that linger in a small town's whispered tales? This week's Murder in the Mountains episode takes you to the heart of Waco, Texas, where the 1982 triple homicide case of Kenneth Franks, Jill Montgomery, and Raylene Rice remains etched in the town's memory. As your hosts, we navigate the murky depths of the investigation, led by the determined Sergeant Truman Simons, while uncovering the unsettling dynamics of local community reactions and the dark motives lurking behind what appeared to be a tragic case of mistaken identity.

    Venture further into the shadows with us as we scrutinize the intricate layers of the Lake Waco murders, where life insurance policies and forensic odontology weave a complex web that challenged the very foundations of legal evidence. The relentless dedication of Sergeant Simons, coupled with the convoluted testimonies of informants, paints a tumultuous picture of justice seeking in the absence of concrete physical proof. The specter of bias and the lengths one will go to prove a theory come into sharp focus, revealing the harrowing journey towards a conviction rife with questions and controversy.

    In our concluding segments, we confront the heart-wrenching realities of wrongful convictions and the profound impact they have on the lives entangled within the justice system. The somber fate of David Spence's mother, Juanita White, stands as a stark reminder of the fragility of truth amidst legal complexities. As we wrap up this episode, we invite you to join the conversation on Instagram, where the dialogue continues beyond the mountain peaks of Waco. Sharpen your true crime insights with us on Murder in the Mountains, and prepare for another gripping chapter next week.

  • Tragedy on New Year's Day: The Richmond Family Massacres
    Feb 13 2024

    Imagine a New Year's Day filled with the aroma of chili and the warmth of family, abruptly turning into a chilling crime scene that would haunt Richmond, Virginia, forever. As hosts Alexa and Cherish, we guide you through the tragic fate of the Harvey family, whose sense of security was shattered by a single unlocked door. Bryan and Kathryn Harvey, known for their love of music and community, together with their daughters Stella and Ruby, were brutally taken from a world they made brighter. This episode strips back the veneer of daily life, exposing the vulnerabilities we all share and the devastating choices a mother had to make when that security was threatened.

    We then pivot to dissect the criminal history of Ricky and Ray, uncle and nephew, whose lives spiraled into a series of increasingly violent crimes. From the overlooked murder of Ricky's wife, Treva, to the senseless end of Ashley Baskerville and her parents, their story is a stark reminder of the consequences of unheeded warning signs. Through the tapestry of these harrowing events, we critique the failures within the criminal justice system and discuss how easily danger can weave itself into the fabric of a community, leaving an indelible mark on those left behind. Join us as we piece together this complex puzzle, shedding light on the ripple effects of violence and the echoes of loss that reverberate long after the headlines fade.

  • The Unthinkable Acts of an 11 year old Murderer: The Mary Bell Story
    Jan 30 2024

    Children are often seen as symbols of innocence, but what happens when they step over an unimaginable line? The story of Mary Bell, a young girl whose life was marred by abuse and led to actions so heinous they shook the foundations of societal norms, is the focus of our heart-wrenching discussion. We'll navigate the tragedy of her crimes, her troubled history, and the community that was ill-prepared to deal with the concept of a child as a murderer. Through the lens of this sobering case, we confront the moral and legal quandaries involved in sentencing a child of merely 11 years old.

    There are no easy answers here, only tough questions and the pursuit of understanding. As we dissect the Mary Bell case, we're left pondering how to adequately balance public safety with the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. We invite you to share your perspective and join the conversation on social media while we tease the possibility of further delving into similar cases that challenge our perceptions of crime, punishment, and redemption. Don't forget to support our podcast by leaving a review so that we can continue to offer these gripping narratives on 'Murder in the Mountains'.

Love this podcast

Good storytelling, appropriate commentary (sometimes funny in the dark humor way), and nice flow. Plus they usually warn you when the topic of the episode is unsolved.
