Description

We’ve all heard the phrase ‘that kind of thing doesn’t happen in our town’, but here on Midwest Murder, we will shatter that false reality. In fact, it happens more often than we know, and sometimes the details of the most horrific crimes that happen in our neighborhoods are lost in the back pages of newspapers, forgotten on our news channels, and eventually erased over time.

I'm so glad I found this! I am an ND native. I grew up in Mandan and Wilton. My parents are from ND, and most extended still live there. As an AF veteran and current spouse, we also were stationed in Minot right after the flood to 2016. We are currently in Louisiana. I had been searching for a podcast that covered RJR and found you. Have you heard of the murder of Justin T. Leingang by Travis Dally? It happened in Wilton in 1998.

This show was by far the hardest one to listen to. I actually had to stop a couple of times during it and restart the next day. I am so outraged at so many different people and agencies tied to this case. All those poor children who were affected and murdered by this man hurts my heart. I am most upset at his mother... she knew what he was and what he had done. She could have done more to protect society from him... she did nothing. I had no idea this even took place. So scary considering it is so close to home.

for a moment I was very disappointed and appalled that the podcasters were coming down on the side of this little sadistic psychopathic sh^%%@$$. but it seems like the male Podcaster is going to be the voice of reason, and the female is going to be all like "oooohhh the poor little boy" and "teenagers are complete and total babies when it suits our agenda to perceive them thus". I wonder if she realizes how INSULTING these gross sentiments are to every single teenager, and adding "mental health" and "abuse" into it is all the further more stigmatizing to people who have mental health issues - and VERY CRUELLY stigmatizing to people who survive abuse. if abuse gave people an excuse to do what this little psychopath sh<%@$$ monster did, I would have my own trail of mayhem behind me. but instead.... the truth about abuse survivors is that they often end up swallowing - rather than dishing out - more than their fair share of sh%^ for the rest of their lives.

It is absolutely amazing to hear about uncle jack🙏. my mom, aubrey sjol, posted on his facebook page when they first found out he was dead saying "I miss you Jack. I am dedicating my time to bring Justice to your name. ♥️ you" I have only heard stories about jack myself but will forever worship him due to the heavy impact he has had on my and my mothers life. He has made my mom a very strong person and has passed that on to me. As sad and disgusting murder is I would love to look at his case less as someones horrible act of hatred and more as a lesson to teach my family to be stronger than ever before. his story was insane but will forever hold a special place on our hearts💞
