What Happens in the Woods

Hello, campers, and welcome to our mid-season episode. Once again, Jess has an old-timey crime for us to delve into. This episode contains information from author Steven C. Drielak’s book, Long Island’s Vanished Heiress: The Unsolved Alice Parsons Kidnapping.On June 9, 1937, Alice McDonell Parsons disappeared from the farm she and her husband ran in Long Island, with the help of their housekeeper, Anna Kupryanova. While not social darlings, both Alice and William Parsons were connected to wealthy families. Alice had recently been left with money and investments that would secure her future. Still, a change in her will made less than 30 days before her disappearance would indicate an interesting dynamic within the Parsons household.Sadly, neither the local agencies nor the FBI were able to outsmart the responsible persons. Although there is a consensus on how the events went down, almost 90 years later Alice Parsons disappearance remains unsolved. Information from this episode:Long Island’s Vanished Heiress: The Unsolved Alice Parsons Kidnapping:Drielak, Steven C.

Welcome to another new episode! This week, we discuss a case that could easily define the term “legacy”. When 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was abducted and murdered, no one could have imagined just how the world would be changed because of the crime.Amber is remembered by friends and family as a bright, kind and energetic young girl. But for the United States and in some way, many other countries across the globe, her legacy lives on in the AMBER Alert system. Over one thousand children have been saved from abduction and returned to their families because of this system.Join us as we discuss this precious little girl and how she lives on through the emergency alert system that bares her name.Sadly, Amber’s case has never been solved and the man responsible has not been brought to justice. It’s been 29 years and there is still hope that it can be solved.If anyone has information on Amber’s abduction or murder, there is a number to call. 817-575-8823 will connect you to the Arlington Police Department.This week, we featured a sneak peek into another podcast. Please give Simone with 90s Crime Time a listen. It is available anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Hey, campers! Welcome back to the campfire for our latest episode. Before we wrap up 2024, Jess brings a case to discuss that showcases the downfalls of the system. In August of 2021, an armed intruder would enter the home of Travis and Jamilyn Juetten. The couple was due to leave for a 2-week vacation to Hawaii which would never happen after the events in that early morning tragedy. Lives were lost and changed forever. But was it all preventable? The family says absolutely, it was and is now suing Marion County, Oregon to hold them accountable.Join us as we take a look at this case and how it might have been prevented from happening. Share your thoughts with us on social media or by email.Happy Holidays, campers! Many well wishes of peace and happiness from our family to yours Information from this episode:https://www.weddle-funeral.com/obituaries/travis-richard-juettenhttps://justicefortravis.com/https://www.gofundme.com/f/jamilyns-recovery-fundhttps://www.kptv.com/2022/08/11/unsolved-marion-county-murder-family-victim-still-seeking-answers/https://www.koin.com/news/koin-6-unsolved/reward-offered-in-unsolved-killing-of-travis-juetten-06282022/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11466427/Cops-probe-link-Idaho-murders-similar-Oregon-stabbing-couple-beds-year.htmlhttps://heavy.com/news/travis-juetten/https://ourtownlive.com/ourtown/?p=16613https://www.salemreporter.com/2024/12/10/family-of-victim-in-2021-stabbing-files-wrongful-death-lawsuit-against-marion-county/
