Summary: He planned to bring a group of boys together, allow them to make friends, then separate them into two factions to compete for a prize. He believed they would forget their friendships and start demonizing one another at this point. The piece de resistance was to come at the end: he planned to set a forest fire in the vicinity of the camp. The intentional forest fire would force the boys to work as one team again, facing a shared threat.

One beautiful girl, two extravagant and prominent men. Throw in jealousy and a family history of mental instability and you have the recipe for a shocking murder, at an outdoor theater in the heart of New York City in front of nearly a thousand witnesses. The trial that followed was quickly dubbed "the trial of the century." The 1907 trial, and a second the next year after the first jury hung, helped closed the curtains on America's "Gilded Age."

Found in Port St. Lucie, the Devil Tree is a big oak in a county park on canal C-24. A mighty oak, an ordinary tree, nothing to write home about…except the fact that thing might as well growl and snatch up little old ladies and unsuspecting kids and gobble them up like a throwback from a Grimm Fairy tale. The Devil Tree has an evil, macabre, and incredibly blood-soaked reputation; one that’s entwined with Florida history and its amazing capacity to attract the worse of the worse that humanity has to offer.

Summary:  “I want to give you something to think about while we’re traveling down the road… Number one, I want you to observe the weather conditions, it’s raining, it’s sleeting, it’s freezing, driving is very treacherous, visibility is poor, it’s going to be dark early this evening. They are predicting several inches of snow for tonight, and I feel that you yourself are the only person that knows where this little girl’s body is, that you yourself have only been there once, and if you get a snow on top of it you yourself may be unable to find it. And, since we will be going right past the area on the way into Des Moines, I feel that we could stop and locate the body, that the parents of this little girl should be entitled to a Christian burial for the little girl who was snatched away from them on Christmas Eve and murdered. And I feel we should stop and locate it on the way in rather than waiting until morning and trying to come back out after a snow storm and possibly not being able to find it at all.” Sources:  https://www.oyez.org/cases/1976/74-1263 https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/430/387/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewer_v._Williams https://www.casebriefs.com/blog/law/criminal-procedure/criminal-procedure-keyed-to-weinreb/the-privilege-against-self-incrimination/brewer-v-williams/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

It happened on the church volleyball court, on a late-summer day in 1978. Candy and Allan both tried to make a play on the same ball—and collided. It was a harmless bump, really, and went unnoticed by everyone else on the court, but for Candy, it brought a revelation: Allan Gore smelled sexy. For several weeks she had been talking abstractly to friends about having an affair. Candy wanted something to shake up her “very boring” life with Pat. She was explicit about the kind of affair she was interested in transcendent sex. As she put it, “I want fireworks.” A jury decided Candace Montgomery was acting in self... - UPI Archives Fatal Perfection | Dallas Observer The True Story of the Friday the 13th Murder: Why Candy Montgomery Killed Betty Gore (msn.com) Love and Death in Silicon Prairie, Part I: Candy Montgomery’s Affair – Texas Monthly Love and Death in Silicon Prairie, Part II: The Killing of Betty Gore – Texas Monthly Book Amazon.com: Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs eBook: Bloom, John, Atkinson, Jim: Kindle Store --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
