Crime of the Truest Kind

#newenglandcrimestories #massachusetts #missing #unsolved Rory Gene Kesinger is called many things: an outlaw, criminal mastermind, a robber and drug dealer. She is a fugitive. We don’t truly know where she is or what’s become of her. For 49 years, she has been a mystery and a story of folklore in Massachusetts. Today I begin digging into the stories of missing, unsolved and unclaimed people of New England. Massachusetts is up first with Rory, Baby Bella Bond found in Winthrop, Melanie Melanson missing from Woburn, Theresa Corley found in Bellingham, Danielle Oliverio found in Wilmington, Melanie Quadros missing in Lowell, Juan Carlos Gonzalez murdered in Worcester.

Part three of three in the series about Gregg Smart's murder and the trial that captivated the region (and the nation) in the winter of 1991. New Hampshire TV station WMUR 9 aired the Pamela Smart trial in its entirety. It was the beginning of our true crime obsession and illustrated how the media reshapes the narrative to often tell the story they want to sell. Court TV was born.  Gregg Smart is the forgotten victim in the crime of the century - as it has been called over and over given its history of firsts. Gregg was murdered on May 1, 1990. The 24-year-old insurance broker was shot dead in his home six days before his first wedding anniversary.At first, it looked like he'd  interrupted a burglary, because that's what the killers were told to make it look like. As the investigation wore on, it uncovered a plot rife with salacious headlines by a mastermind who was first tried in the media before they were tried in court. The Smart case was a spectacle,  the original crime of the century. The first televised trial.WMUR Channel 9 in Manchester, New Hampshire preempted its daily programming to televise the two-week trial. People stood in line at 2am to get a seat in the courtroom. The pretrial coverage was frenzied. I often cover stories that affected me. This is one of those. I lived in Southern New Hampshire in the late 80s/early 90s. You couldn't go anywhere without hearing  the name Pamela Smart.It's the show's anniversary month.

Part two in the series about Gregg Smart's murder and those who planned and carried out this plot to kill him. It's ridiculous to imagine anyone going through with such a ridiculous plan. Yet four teenagers from Seabrook, NH did at the behest of a 22 year old high school media coordinator. It is a sensational story and mesmerized the region for the better part of a year in 1990-91.Gregg Smart is the forgotten victim in the crime of the century - as it has been called over and over given its history of firsts.

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the murders of Leeann Millius and Kim Farrah - murdered on September 13, 1997 at a public pond in Salem, NH. Their story stayed with because I was just like them. I was a teenager in Southern New Hampshire who did all the same kind of things they did. I think of them often and wish their families peace on these painful occasions.Please think of them as you go about your day. They’ve been gone longer than they lived. They should be here.  Two young women whose murders were planned by a group of boys they'd befriended weeks earlier. This is an early episode of the podcast, my understanding and approach to true crime has changed greatly due in large part their story. Every story I research and cover stays with me. A family member of one of the girls reached out to me after this episode aired and it left a lasting impression. These are real stories about real people, real people who have no choice but live with these crimes. I remember you, Kim and Leeann... .. .. In the early morning hours of September 13, 1997, the bodies of Leeann Millius and Kim Farrah were discovered by a woman walking her dog at Hedgehog Pond Park, a popular summer hangout spot for residents in and around Salem, New Hampshire. The lives of two young women were cut short by a group of supposed friends with a sinister plan.Crime of the Truest Kindhosted and created by Anngelle WoodOnline: CrimeoftheTruestKind.comEpisode 6 on YouTube@crimeofthetruestkindInstagram | Facebook | @TruestKind on TwitterFollow, Subscribe, Listen, RateAvailable everywhere you get podcastsSupport the show#truecrime #newhampshire #salem #salemnh #leeannmillius #kimberlyfarrah #hedgehogpond #murder #crime #newhampshirecrime #nh #newenglandcrimestoriesSupport the showCrimeoftheTruestKind.com for show notes

Part Two of the special episode, You’re A Good Man, Phil Hartman with Brian Mulhern - comedy writer, radio host - Providence, Rhode Island. Listen to part one to get caught up. Thanks for listening, and thanks for enduring some of our other related topics. We talked quite a lot and, while there are some things I took out that were private to the family, some things I left in because they were relevant to our conversation (and maybe not entirely relevant to true crime). This is not a story about how Phil died, but rather how he lived. We miss Phil, we love Phil.We want people to remember Phil.If you’ve returned because you were waiting for new episodes. Thank you for your patience.If you are brand new here, welcome. I talk about New England crime stories and things that happened here,  to the people here. This is a special episode because this crime did not happen in New England but its effects run deep. And you will hear inevitable dog noises, some from my crew, others from my guest's dog.Brian Mulhern is a friend, radio colleague, and friend of Phil Hartman who hired both Brian and his brother Kevin as comedy writers. They worked closely together for a few years before Phil passed away. Brian can be seen in The Last Days of Phil Hartman on ABC.Show: The Last Days of Phil Hartman an ABC Special from 2019Book: You Might Remember Me: The Life and Times of Phil Hartman  by Mike ThomasSound: There are countless videos available online to see Phil Hartman's extraordinary talents.

Today, on what is the 19th anniversary of the fire that took the lives of 100 people and injured many more, I am sharing the 3-part series released last year. One thing is very clear, the events of that night and the days, weeks, and months that followed, have had a lasting effect on the people of West Warwick and the state of Rhode Island to this day.Never forget what happened so it will never happen again.Episode 13 from 3/5/2021:Part three of three. Over the course of this series of episodes, I wanted to peel back the layers of what a mess The Station Fire truly was, how we are still looking for answers, and how we are still clearing the debris of misinformation. The Station Fire was 18 years ago. The fire killed 100 people, hundred of others were injured physically, countless others were damaged emotionally. In this bonus sized episode I speak to friend and colleague, John Laurenti.  We worked together at WZLX in Boston and, as you will hear, we have a long history and strong connections to New England radio. John has worked at WAAF, WBOS, WODS, WHEB, WGIR, and was at WHJY in Providence for 17 years. He was friends with Mike Gonsalves, the WHJY DJ known as Doctor Metal, who was one of 100 who died at the Station. We talk about his memories of Doc, the venue, the fire, the impact on the community, the part live radio plays in times of disaster, the evolution of rock, and we name check about 20 radio people throughout. We spoke on the weekend of the 18th anniversary. This is our conversation, our long conversation. It was even longer.
