One crazy snowstorm in February 1972 brings not only 40mph winds and power outages, but also a tragic murder story for the Durham Family in Boone, NC. A small town family with big dreams and ambition is tortured by multiple assailants and leaves the town wondering who could commit such a heinous act and leave essentially no evidence behind. Was the father, Bryce Durham, involved in some crazy car dealership crime ring? Did their daughter Ginny Hall, the only heir to the family's fortune, plot with her husband Troy to off the family so she could take all of their assets?Or was this indeed a hired hit carried out by the infamous "Dixie Mafia"?Listen as Tiffany takes you through the facts, the theories, and finally the resolution you probably weren't ready for almost 50 years after the murders occurred.

Episode 13: Bowen Turner - A Privileged Serial Rapist?
In 2018, Bowen Turner from Orangeburg, South Carolina would be accused of raping two young women and in 2019, Bowen would be accused of rape once again. This would spark outrage in the community but not for the victims, instead it was for the accused because Bowen comes from a prominent family in Orangeburg.Bowen would attack his first victim early in 2018 and a short six months later, he would allegedly assault Dallas Stoller at a house party. Dallas would endure the wrath of the community’s anger towards her for naming Bowen as her attacker. Her story is devastating and does not end they way you would hope.Chloe Bess is the last victim of Bowen’s, and her assault has many similarities to Dallas’s story. Chloe would also be attacked at a house party in June of 2019 and would also name Bowen as her attacker but did his victims get justice?Bowen would allude a trial and barely get a slap on the wrist. How can an alleged serial rapist not wind up in prison? How is he still on the streets? Listen to Sam tell the story of a grave misjustice happening in Orangeburg South Carolina and we will leave it to you to decide if you think if Bowen Turner is a privileged serial rapist.Dallas' Petition: www.change.org/p/reopenSources: WRDW.comFITSNews.comMeaww.comNypost.comFacebook: Search Cola City CrimeInstagram: @ColacitycrimeSend us your listener stories to our email: [email protected]

Episode 10: The Senseless Murder of James Mahoney
In the early hours of a September morning, James Mahoney's life would take a sharp left turn because of a man who could not control his addictive behavior. Richard Bernard Moore was an addict who needed his next fix and decided James at Nikki's Speedy Mart would be his target. He made it out with a measly $1408 while leaving James' lifeless body on the ground, but quickly found his way into police custody and confessing to everything. After his two-part trial, he was sentenced to death but aggressively started the appeals process soon after. Dick is finally scheduled for execution for the 4th time over the last 20 years, and his will be the first to happen since 2011. South Carolina just passed a law in 2021 allowing inmates to choose between the electric chair, lethal injection, or a firing squad, however the last dose of lethal drugs in the state expired in 2013. So just this past Good Friday, Richard went with the new method of execution, firing squad. He is sentenced to die on April 29th, 2022 if his stay of execution request is denied, so now we all eagerly await to see if he will be the first man since 2010 to go out by a bullet.Instagram: @colacitycrimeFacebook: Search Cola City CrimeSources used:CNN.comCaselaw.findlaw.comLocal court documents

Months later, a very determined college student and Taco Bell employee Shawna Hawk would be found strangled in her own home by her boyfriend Darryl.
