Malice and Mocktails

Did you know that horse racing is associated with a number of crimes? Neither did we until Emily stumbled upon a rabbit hole of information. Join us this week as Emily tells us all about horse racing crimes and those who perpetrate them. Our mocktail this week is an alcohol free mint julep brought to you by Nat at the Mindful Mocktail. On a non true crime note, Katie is starting a financial coaching business (side hustle) called Clear Cents Coaching. If you are struggling with managing your money, paying down debt and sticking with a plan, she can help. You can contact her at katie@clearcentscoaching.com for more info!

Happy new year! We're back with a brand new episode. Katie tells us about the murder of William Guldensuppe, an attendant at a local Turkish bath in 1890s New York City. Several packages of remains are found in June 1897 across the island of Manhattan, and it is soon discovered that the remains belong to William. Police arrest two suspects...Augusta Nack who was William's lover, and Martin Nack...her current lover. Join us as we dive into this case with mocktails in hand.

Hey mockstars! We have a really cool episode this week and we're joined by our new friend, Claire, creator of JONI. JONI celebrates a long overlooked and upcycled ingredient that's been around for millennia: verjus. Claire shares with us her inspiration behind the name - Joan of Arc - and both their stories, and we are 100% here for it! You can find JONI online at drinkjoni.com and all over social media. We might be biased but we love both the Rouge and Blanc over at Malice & Mocktails HQ. Highly recommend.

Happy Spooky Season!! This week Emily tells us about the rougarou, the legendary Cajun werewolf. The rougarou was often used as a cautionary tale for children and adults alike. If you have ever experienced a rougarou let us know! Our zero proof drink this week is very fitting - it is the Rougarou coffee blend by French Truck Coffee. They typically offer this every year around this time and it is so good! This blend is made up of Honduran and Colombian coffee and has notes of praline, caramel, and chocolate brownie sweetness. Emily also wanted to shout out Clearly Canadian which she loves!

Happy Malice Monday! This week Emily tells us about the murderous Kelly family. If you have not listened to last week's episode about the Bender family you may want to go have a listen, but this episode can stand on its own we think. We do compare the two families at the end and we are so eager to hear what y'all think of these two cases. Let us know in the Q&A or DM us on Instagram. This week's mocktail is brought to you by Cookchaos.com, and the full recipe can be found here: https://www.cookchaos.com/bramble-mocktail/ The Bramble Mocktail sounds so incredibly refreshing and is made from fresh blackberry syrup, simple syrup and lemon juice.

Happy Malice Monday! We're back with a brand new true crime case - the Murder of Emma Austraw. April, 1919 - Emma was just 19 years old when she was brutally attacked and murdered near the school where she taught in Derry Township, PA. Three men are arrested and accused of the crime, but justice is not necessarily obtained in this case. Our mocktail this week is called JONI! A HUGE thank you to our new friend Claire, also the founder of JONI, for sharing with us samples including Verjus Drink Blanc and Rouge. Both drinks are lightly sweet, a little tart, and made from pre-harvest grapes that are picked to give the other grapes a little more elbow room. Enjoy either as is or get creative by incorporating them into your favorite mocktail recipe of choice, or create your own recipe. Stay tuned in the coming months as Claire joins us as a guest on the show. Special shoutout to Carmen and Joanna from Live, Laugh, Murder podcast! Each week Carmen tells Joanna a story that could be the plot of a horror movie or the events of a true crime case. Check out their promo at the top of the episode and give them a listen! https://drinkjoni.com/ @drinkjoni on Instagram Sources https://newspaperarchive.com/washington-times-may-04-1919-p-1/ https://newspaperarchive.com/titusville-herald-may-06-1919-p-1/ https://newspaperarchive.com/harrisburg-telegraph-sep-12-1919-p-18/ https://newspaperarchive.com/philadelphia-inquirer-may-07-1919-p-12/ https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/135596826/emma-j.-austraw The Empty Classroom by Andrea Niapas

We have another monster episode to share with you this week with Jeff telling us all about the Fouke monster, an Arkansas legend with similar characteristics as the infamous Big Foot. Also known as the Boggy Creek Monster, the Fouke monster was allegedly first seen in the rural town of Fouke, Arkansas, in the early 1970s by a local family. Join us as we learn more about this creepy legend. This is also Jeff's debut as editor and we absolutely love his style!

In this week's episode, we have another Monsters & Mocktails special - The Legend of the Melon Heads. Emily shares with us this legend which primarily can be found in three US states: Michigan, Ohio, and Connecticut. Have you heard of this legend? Let us know, and we hope you enjoy! Our mocktail this week is the Honeydew Lime Mocktail with Mint brought to you by flavourandsavor.com.

Happy Malice Monday, mockstars! Life is still a little crazy and we're behind on getting you new content. We promise a new episode next Monday. But in the meantime, we hope you enjoy a replay of the episode that started it all - the murders of Isabella Ruxton and Mary Rogerson. Katie flew solo for the first few episodes of the show, and this was her very first one. Let us know what you think. Please also enjoy the promo from our friends over at Brew Crime. We had the privilege to connect with them at the True Crime and Paranormal Festival a few weeks ago and we're all best friends now of course :-) Please be sure to give them a listen and follow if you want more true crime in your life.

It's Malice Monday mockstars! While we don't have a new episode this week because life got in the way of editing, we wanted to share with you another one of our favorites - the case of Eugene Butler. Eugene lived a seemingly quiet life in the latter part of the 19th century and into the 20th century in Niagara, North Dakota. He would embark on late night rides across the countryside on his horse, causing his neighbors to become a little suspicious. Eugene would later be committed to an asylum for the insane. Join us as we share this curious case and let us know what you think really happened. In our original episode we featured the trailer of one of our favorite podcasts, Coffee n Crime hosted by Lisa-Marie Imray. Give her a listen if you want more true crime and coffee in your life.

In this special bonus episode, Katie and Emily guest host on the podcast Dying to be Found. Join host Deb as she tells us about the mysterious murder of Sandra DeFelice and how DNA evidence would help crack the case nearly 40 years later. Thank you Deb for having us on the show! This episode was originally published by Deb on July 19th, 2023 and you can find Dying To Be Found wherever you get your podcasts. "On December 26, 1980, Sandra DeFelice was discovered deceased in her own bed around 9:30 PM. Earlier that day, Sandra's roommate had a visitor who asked to crash on the girl's couch for the day, but was denied. The roommate had escorted this person out of the house on her way to work, and thought nothing more about it. Fast forward to February 2021 where police closed in on Sandra's murderer after fingerprints were left behind at the crime scene. The perpetrator in question turned out to be Paul Nuttal, a 21-year old drifter who was never connected to the case until a modern DNA analysis took place. Paul was soon arrested, but is still awaiting trial while undergoing a psychiatric evaluation." - episode description taken from Dying to be Found. 

We're pulling an episode from the archives because admittedly Katie did not have time to edit the next new Monsters & Mocktails episode - we'll try to get that one out soon. But we still have a monster/creepy tale for you this week. This week's episode is a replay of one of our more popular episodes. In episode 13 Emily told us about Petar Blagojevic, likely the first documented vampire. This was also Emily's first episode and we had a ton of fun recording. We hope you enjoy!

Did someone say Ponzi scheme? On this week’s episode of Malice & Mocktails Katie tells us about Charles Ponzi, the namesake of the term Ponzi Scheme. Hold on to your butts because it’s kind of a wild ride for such a simple scheme. It is also so incredibly tragic how this man swindled thousands upon thousands of men and women, some even out of their life savings - and it still happens today. For our #mocktail this week, Katie highlights Mocktails which offers uniquely crafted zero proof beverages including espresso martini, mockapolitan, mockscow mule, sansgria, and mockarita - we also LOVE the drink names.
