This one is way more interesting than I thought it would be. And I don’t usually inject too much of my opinion on this podcast, wanting you to just have the story and the facts as I have found them in my research…..but I have lots of thoughts on this, and I really want to know what you all think. Stay tuned at the end for information on the new voice message I have for all of you and how we will start doing an update episode here and there if you guys all like it.

The case covered in this episode is The Boston Strangler, The Untold Story, because most people still assume that Albert DeSalvo was the Boston Strangler and murdered all of the 13 women accredited to the “Boston Strangler.” Albert DeSalvo confessed to 11 murders. However, his confessions have been disputed, and there is a lot to this story.

We will be going over the movie: The Boston Strangler: The Untold Story and then covering the Real Story and the developments that have happened since then.

I’ll be the first to admit that when I hear that a parent or parents escaped a burning house unharmed and all of the kids die, I’m a little suspicious. And when you start watching this movie, that is how you feel.

But there are questions….

And the more you learn, the more you question……

The movie and the case for this episode is: Trial By Fire (2018-2019) movie that I found available for streaming on (Prime Video) and (Hulu). It stars Jack O’Connel, Laura Dern and Emily Meade.

The tragic and controversial story of Cameron Todd Willingham, who was sentenced to death in Texas for killing his three children even after scientific evidence and expert testimony bolstered his claims of innocence

We will cover the movie, the story of what really happened, and the controversy.

Welcome back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast!

I have a bonus mini-episode for you today about the Blackout Killer.

In my next upcoming episode: The Last Hangman, I will be covering Albert Pierrepoint and the movie made about his career as executioner from 1931 to 1956. During his career he executed somewhere between 435 and 600 people. 200 of those were from war crimes that took place during WWII, such as the Beast of Belsen and Irma Grese.

Pierrepoint executed many notable murderers in the UK, but one that was not featured in the movie, was Gordon Cummins, aka the Blackout Killer or the Blackout Ripper.

So for this mini-episode we will go over one of the truly horrible men that Albert Pierrepoint had to encounter during his job as head executioner in 1942.

Welcome Back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast.

Just a quick reminder that new episodes come out on the 15^th and 30^th of each month, with the occasional random bonus episode thrown out there, so please hit subscribe so you don’t miss any episodes.

At Close Range is an incredibly good movie. It’s from 1986 and I found it on Amazon Prime, as well as Tubi which is a free streaming service and it looks like it is available on Showtime as well, although I currently don’t have that one.

It has a star studded cast including:

Sean Penn, Mary Stuart Masterson, Chris Penn, Christopher Walken, Crispin Glover and Kiefer Sutherland.

It is an excellent movie all on it’s own. One of the reviews I read said “I recommend this movie to anyone and everyone.”

This is one of the few old true crime movies that I hadn’t seen, and hadn’t heard about the case before watching. I’m not kidding when I say that there were at least two parts that had me absolutely speechless. Like jaw dropping.

I was so blown away by this movie that I decided to move it up in the recording schedule.

The movie starts out with the words: Based on a True Story.

And I’m going to tell you….this movie follows so close to the real story…it’s one of the closest to the real stories I’ve ever seen. So, I’ll tell you about the movie which is just about the whole real story, and then at the end I’ll tell you about the bits that were included just for the movie, and I’ll go over what really happened in those instances.

Let me tell you that doing the research for these movies for my podcast has become a little Rabbit Hole of it’s own. While I was researching for this episode I found another movie, on this case, that I had never heard of. Turned out to be really good and well worth the time, and worth featuring. I have found many other movies while researching the cases, so I have a long list to cover….and to use as bonus movie names for you.

Cases where children go missing or are murdered really haunt me.

It’s terrifying when they are missing. So many horrible scenarios are considered as to how they are being treated or if they are still alive.

When children are found dead after having gone missing, often the parents or other family members are looked into.

Unfortunately, we have seen on many occasions where the parents or one of the parents does indeed turn out to be the one responsible. Usually, after they had been in the news, tearfully asking for their child, or step-child to be returned.

Today’s case is a about a little girl who goes missing and when she is found dead authorities look to her parents. It does not seem to me that her parents were in any way responsible, but you be the judge.

A Heavy Equipment Operator was working on the property of an old yellow house that had been falling into disrepair. It had been empty for quite a while and he was starting the steps of demolishing the old farm house, when up comes a ragged black trash bag with bones and fabric in it.

Police were called of course.

It was eventually determined to be the bones of a human being.

A business office in the front of a factory building, gets a phone call. A man’s voice tells the receptionist, Rose, that there is a body behind their building.

The caller tells the receptionist: “There is a dead body in the back of your lot.”

Now I have had to answer the phones working in business offices many times over the years and I have got some crank calls, but never that.

The caller hangs up soon after telling her to please report it to authorities.

Ginger Rios disappeared after going into a little shop in a strip mall in Las Vegas. Her husband was sitting in the car waiting for her, but she never returned. After waiting quite a while, he went into the store that he had seen her go into and asked if she was still there. The owner of the store told him that she had bought a couple of books and left.
Her husband knew she had gone into the little store, called Spy Craft, to buy a book on how to clean up her credit. She had left her purse in the car and had just taken her wallet with her. He was bewildered as to where she had gone!

True Crime Cautionaries

February 10, 2020True Crimeann rule, danger, diane holick, dont stop, drive to police station, get help, instincts, intuition, news, run, scream, ted bundy, true crime, warnings, zip tiescherryavenuetruecrime

There are a lot of reasons people are interested in real true crime stories. For one thing, it’s been going on since the beginning of crime, which would be the beginning of time. And then there is the Knowledge that comes with all that. There are things that can be learned from it. True Crime, Following True Crime, Watching the bad things on the news, can be important. It can help. It can help you and others in your life.

When I was a teenager and driving my own car for the first time, I wasn’t watching the news, and we didn’t have smart phones or social media then. My family members told me about how bad men were deliberately hitting women’s cars with their cars to get them to pull over….and some women were raped, some killed. The idea being they would pull over to see the damage on the car, to exchange insurance information, etc. The whole Don’t Stop, Drive to the Police Station thing started then, at least as far as I know. People who cared were telling young people not to stop in these situations. Drive to somewhere safe, a police station if possible.

So you can learn things from True Crime.

There are a lot of women that listen to their intuition. We need to.

The real story of the Mr. Goodbar Murder. Rosann Quinn. John Wayne Wilson. There is so much more to the story. The murder was the basis for the movie and book Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Also for the book Closing Time. The real story is very different from the movie. A Single Teacher in 1973 New York living on her own. Her story was told as a cautionary tale. He was a drifter. There is so much more to both of their stories.
