#23: Hutchinson KS Salt Mine Explosion

Wed, 07 May 2025 21:29:08 GMT

Jan 17, 2001, Hutchinson Kansas

It is also known as salt city because of the salt mines 600 ft below the surface, covering 980 acres underground.

It was a typical day downtown, when suddenly there was an explosion at a store called Decor. It was a party supply store. And the appliance store, woodies, next door. The blast was so powerful, it shattered windows a block away.

#11: Missouri State Penitentiary

Sun, 14 Jul 2024 03:25:48 GMT

The Missouri State Pen operated from 1836-2004 and is reportedly haunted AF. With all of the emotions, suicides and murders within the walls for 168 years, it is not surprising!

The prison held 4,900 inmates at its peak, meaning some cells held 8-10 people at a time.

39 individuals were gassed there and the last one was executed by lethal injection. Out of the 40 who were put to death there was one female named Bonnie Heady.

Ep 10: The State Hospital for the Insane #2

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 05:27:26 GMT

We went on a field trip!

The State Hospital for the Insane No 2 opened in November of 1874 just east of the city of St. Joseph Missouri. It started out with 275 beds and only 25 patients and was open for 127 years. The patients worked the land, tended to crops and livestock and the hospital only had to buy seasonings.

In the early 1950’s the asylum had almost 3,000 beds and housed a variety of individuals. They had the criminally insane, people who were just depressed to the people who were just annoying to their relatives.

Ep 9: The Kansas City Strangler Part 2

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 23:31:18 GMT

Ep 9: Talia and I are again talking about the piece of trash known as the Kansas City Strangler: Lorenzo Gilyard. We go over the trial, DNA evidence and potential other victims. He has been convicted of 6 murders and we believe he has committed many more. These victims no longer have a voice and their stories need to be told.

Ep 8: Part 1: The Kansas City Strangler

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 06:49:22 GMT

This is another two part episode! We had a bit of a recording snafu, but we got it under control. Talia and I are talking about the piece of trash known as the Kansas City Strangler: Lorenzo Gilyard. His DNA has been linked in one way or another to 13 women. He has been convicted of 6 murders and we believe he has committed many more. These victims no longer have a voice and their stories need to be told.
