Hello, Crime Family. Have a seat, and let's get into Episode 96.

Frank Tranter was a 74-year-old retired man living in the Lion Farm Estate in West Midlands, England. His health was seriously failing him, he was nearly blind, and he lived alone in his semi-detached bungalow. All he wanted to do was listen to music and wave at his neighbors out the window. But, no. Along came a group of no-goods who had to take those little pleasures, and everything else, away from Frank.

Our survivor this episode is Monti Niccolo, a 22-year-old who loved hunting, fishing, and California wilderness camping. Wilderness camping can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, but Monti did. He knew very well how to take care of himself. So when he came across two people who had deadly intentions, Monti had to call upon his will to survive. And survive, he did!

My announcement in this episode is that I'm going to be releasing only one episode per month, because I just don't have enough time to research, write, record, edit, and produce more than that on top of my day job and my fixer-upper house. But if I find that i have the time, I will put out some extras now and then.

Thank you for joining me here at the True Crime BnB, and I hope to see you back next time for Episode 97!

Hello and welcome back for Episode 95. Apologies for the delay in releasing this episode; if you follow me on Instagram you know I was traveling and came home with a stray 4 week old kitten, so lately I've been all about toys, kitten food, and counting the scratches all over my skin.

This week I am covering the frustrating case of the murder of Holly Palmer, which took place in Granbury, Texas in November, 1988. Holly was an amazing, ambitious 23 year old and seemingly had only one person who would have had any problems with her. It seems that police and Holly's family all have a strong suspicion of one particular person. So why, then, has no one ever been brought to justice for her horrible murder?

Our survivor this week is an anonymous teenager out of Gwinnett County, Georgia, and her story shows what a strong, courageous young woman she is. She was only 15 when she was groomed on Snapchat by an older male, and she barely survived their first meeting, But she saw him again two years later when she saw him sentenced to 30-to-life for what he did to her.

One question this case raises is how someone is a relatively normal YouTuber wannabe, and 10 months later he's a child rapist and attempted murderer? Regardless of what brought about his transition to a monster, we are here to celebrate the survivor. So, even though we don't know her name, we are sending every good vibe in her direction.

Thank you for stopping back today. Please take care of yourselves, and I'll see you back here in two weeks.

Hello, Crime Family, and welcome back to Episode 94 at the True Crime BnB!

I didn't plan to, but somehow I managed to have one case in each of the two most recent US states: one in Hawaii (became a state on Aug 21, 1959) and the other in Alaska (became a state on Jan 3, 1959).

Hawaii is considered to be a paradise, and to many people, it absolutely is. But for Conrad Maesaka and Patricia Stevens, it may have started out as paradise, but it turned into a nightmare leading to their disappearances.

Through a tip from a guilty conscience, the crime was eventually solved, but that was still not the end of it. Corruption, gambling, organized crime, and a desperate official all combined to prevent Conrad and Patty from getting their justice, even after a jury conviction.

In the end we can recognize that although Conrad and Patty were flawed humans...who isn't??...they were not as flawed as pretty much every other person in this story. And they did not deserve what happened to them.

And then to Alaska, where Robert Atwood headed, at the age of 28, to take over a tiny daily newspaper in Anchorage. Over 50+ years he turned it into one of the largest Alaska dailies, in addition to a myriad of other stellar accomplishments.

But Bob never lost his energy, his leadership, his pluck, nor his love of family. And when his newspaper staff and his daughter were in danger from an irrational attacker, 79-year-old Bob sprang into action to neutralize the threat. And although it made national headlines, humble Bob didn't even put it on the front page the next day.

Thank you for being here. I'm happy to see you, come back in two weeks for Episode 95!
