    13 - Captain Silas Soule and Carl Panzram
    Jun 23 2021
    Captain Silas Soule and Carl Panzram - Captain Silas Soule In Denver Colorado April 1865 a respected charismatic union cavalry captain named Silas Soule - was murdered in the streets. It would be just over a week after Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. At 26 year old Soule was still a young man but his murder did not come as a surprise. Soule himself predicted it happening numerous times, including the day before his death. In 1838 Soule was born in Bath, Maine, into a family of abolitionists and raised in a colony with the radical ideals of the time such as gender and racial equality. Carl Panzram Born in 1891 Carl Panzram's childhood is a thing of horror which would lead to one of the most sadistic and long crime sprees in history. Living in poverty with his immigrant parents in Minnesota, he experienced severe abuse and neglect. When he was just 8 years old Panzram had his first-ever arrest for being drunk in public. In 1903 at age 11 he would break into a neighbors home stealing some cake, apples, and a revolver. This break-in incident would see him sent to Minnesota State Training School.  He would say his rage and hate for everything human was intensified because of his time here. While there, the staff members raped him and beat him. He was often tortured and made to dance naked for the staff members. Attendees dubbed this place "the paint shop", because children from school would leave "painted" with bruises, bloodied, and broken down. Panzram wrote of the lessons from school as: "I was reformed all right ... I had been taught by Christians how to be a hypocrite, and I had learned more about stealing, lying, hating, burning and killing. I had learned that a boy's penis could be used for something besides to urinate with, and that a rectum could be used for other purposes."

    12 - Charles Morgan and “Green Eyes” & JFK Mistress Mary Pinchot Meyer
    May 6 2021
    Charles Morgan and “Green Eyes” & JFK Mistress Mary Pinchot Meyer Charles Morgan and “Green Eyes” The mysterious death of Charles Morgan is one that involved money laundering, politics, and a secret life. With a wife, 4 daughters, and his own escrow agency, Morgan at 39 years old had a good life in Tucson Arizona. But his life would take a bizarre turn on March 22nd, 1977 after dropping two of his daughters off at school. He’d disappear without a trace only to show up three days later back at his home. This was completely out of character for Morgan his family would say. According to his wife, Ruth, he was missing a shoe, had a plastic handcuff around one ankle, and had his hands tied together with a plastic zip tie. He also wasn’t able to speak, so with a pen and paper, he wrote down he’d been kidnapped and tortured. He claimed a hallucinogenic drug had been painted on his throat which if ingested would drive him insane or kill him. Paranoid for the families well being and lives he made Ruth move his car, because he did not want "them" to know he was back home. And Morgan wouldn’t say who "they" were. He told Ruth not to call the police because a hit would be put out on the family. What happened to Charles Morgan? JFK Mistress Mary Pinchot Meyer Mary Pinchot Meyer was a very well-connected socialite. Her father was a wealthy lawyer, her mother a journalist, one of her uncles had served as a two-time governor of Pennsylvania and she had married Cord Meyer who was a high-ranking CIA official. But her biggest connection would be to John F Kenedy who she had known since high school. She was even friends with Jackie Kennedy due to them living next door to each other.

The shopping trip was pretty standard for James and his mom with their final stop being at the butcher’s shop. James was at his end with shopping for the day, squirming and fussing in Denise’s arms. With no line at the shop Denise figured it wouldn’t take very long. With the butcher making an order mistake and Denise needing to pay she let go of James’s hand for a minute. When she went to leave with James he was gone. Scared and flustered Denise cried “I was only in the shop a few seconds. I turned round and he’d gone.” Muswell Hill Murderer Dennis Nilsen The story of the horrors the so-called Muswell Hill Murderer Dennis Nilesn unleashed in London 40 years ago had given him the nickname the “British Jeffrey Dahmer”. Nilsen was born in Fraserburgh, Scotland on November 23, 1945. He was the middle child of three to his Scottish mother and Norwegian father. Nilsen, according to his mother, was a quiet boy but still adventurous. In his youth he’d grow up with a rocky marriage between his parents, which would end with his father walking out on the family when he was 4-years-old. Produced by The Wild 1 Media.

Gusenberg was the last victim of Chicago’s most highly orchestrated mob hit, which would come to be known as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.

    On the streets of Chicago gang warfare ruled during the late 1920s. Head gangster Al Capone wanted complete control and did everything in his power by eliminating his rivals. From illegal trades of bootlegging, gambling and prostitution mobster rules were rash with violence and often had deadly outcomes.
