We are still on a break from the Bachelor but connecting our stories to the franchise. We are already looking forward to Bachelor in Paradise this season, and Megan bases her story this week on someone we are very likely to see on the sand, Genevieve Parisi. Genevieve is from Massachusetts, now living in Southern California. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, in Boston, Massachusetts, is the home of the vast personal art collection of Isabella Stewart Gardner. Over St. Patrick’s Day weekend of 1990, thirteen pieces of art were stolen and this heist was the highest value museum heist for 29 years. (Story Starts at: 16:48) STORY CONTENT WARNING: Brief mention of a Child Death We also briefly discuss the recent events in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York at the top of the episode.

Sharon McMahon has some great tools on how to do that, check her out on Instagram.

We are still on a break from the Bachelor but connecting our stories to the franchise.  Danielle heard of this case because of its interesting boy band connection, and we are reminded of Listen to Your Heart! We're also reminded of our boy band manager, the naked one, BIP contestant, and Mari’s fiancé Kenny.  Danielle tells the story of the murder of Kari Lynn Nixon. Kari disappeared within a 5-minute timeframe, blocks away from her home. At first, authorities weren't sure if she ran away or was abducted. Law enforcement chased leads all over the country, including a lead connecting law enforcement with the boy band New Kids on the Block when Kari’s family and law enforcement thought they saw her in their music video “My Favorite Girl.” It was a surprising and out-of-the-blue confession that finally brought the family some answers.  (Story Starts at: 10:41) CONTENT WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT AND CHILD MURDER Links Discussed in Episode: Rise and Fall of a Company Town -  J. & J.

We are still on a break from the Bachelor, but connecting our stories to the franchise. Stagecoach 2022 was held at the end of April, it’s a country music festival that Bachelor Nation always seems to flock to. This year, Blake Hortsmann (aka Balaockaye), performed as a DJ, and the crowd seemed to love it. Blake and Stagecoach also had a whole storyline on Bachelor In Paradise Season 6. This week’s story is for Blake, who calls Denver, Colorado home with a dope roommate Elyse! This week, Megan tells the story of the murder of Alan Berg. Alan was an outspoken Jewish talk radio host, whose show on KOA AM 850 in Denver could be heard in over 30 states. Sources say that Alan had an abrasive on-air personality, and was always ready to call out anti-Semitism and other forms of racism. Unfortunately, this made him a target of a white supremacist group, the Order.

We are still on a break from the Bachelor, but connecting our stories to the franchise. Bachelor contestants tend to migrate to certain cities after the show (San Diego, Nashville, etc). New York seems to be the new hot spot, so Danielle covers a NY case. Danielle also heard the story while watching “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty,” which she says is a great show on HBO. Basketball was a theme during Matt James and Queen Michelle Young’s season. Harlem, New York has fluctuated between a booming city of black excellence and a place of extreme violence, drugs, and crime. In 1964, weeks after the Civil Rights Act, James Powell, a 15-year-old black boy, was killed by a police officer. The death outraged the city and led to days of protest.

We are still on our Bachelor break, and still bringing you stories connected to the whole of Bachelor Nation. We know that The Bachelor franchise gives contestants very little access to the outside world when they are on the show. This is Danielle’s inspiration and connection for this week’s story. This is a non-murder true crime story. Dennis Wayne Hope currently spends virtually every waking minute alone in a jail cell smaller than a compact parking space. Decades of isolation have led to hallucinations, chronic pain, and thoughts of taking his life. While incarcerated, for a non-violent offense after several prison escapes, he is trying to bring light to the issue of prolonged solitary confinement and the Supreme Court of the United States may be listening.

We are still on our Bachelor break, and still bringing you stories connected to the whole of Bachelor Nation. Big thanks to Crime and Closets for recommending this story for us to cover! Megan tells a story from Pend Orielle County, Washington. Washington state is home to several Bachelor contestants including Pieper James, Katie Thurston, and Abigail Heringer – to name a few. Also, our King Nayte went to college at Eastern Washington University, near Spokane, not far from the location of this case. Megan tells the story of the murder of Jason Michael Fox. Jason was a sweet, creative, and compassionate 19-year-old who was lured to hang out with “friends” in September 2020. These people were NOT Jason’s friends and are accused of taking his life. His family believes Jason was murdered because of his sexual orientation. #JusticeForJason (Story Starts at: 13:29) CONTENT WARNING: Young Victim, Sexuality based murder, homophobia You can always connect with us at: linktr.ee/CrimeandRoses.

We are still on a Bachelor break, after covering Season 26 of The Bachelor. But, we are still connecting true crime stories to the whole of Bachelor Nation. Clayton’s season was literally a copy / paste season. Bachelor Nation made several connections to Clayton and Colton Underwood’s season. In addition, their names are so similar that Danielle, along with most of Bachelor Nation, continued to confuse them. So this week Danielle is telling you about a murderer named Colton. Jennifer Cave was a beautiful young woman, trying to figure out living on her own and unfortunately, struggling with addiction. Her addiction led her to meeting Colton, who on the outside looking in, seemed to be a “good guy”, but instead, had a very dark side. Through the twists and turns in Jennifer’s life, she kept coming into contact with Colton, and one night would be the last… (Story Starts at:15:59 ) CONTENT WARNING: Substance Abuse You can always connect with us at: linktr.ee/CrimeandRoses.
