    Agatha Christie said, “A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” At least, that’s what we expect from a mother when it comes to the love of her child. But what if the child is what stands in the path of the mother? Will she still be protective, or will she become the thing the child needs protection from? Today I’ll be telling you the story of Elizabeth Huster.To get started on your own newspapers.com journey, Go to Newspapers.com/Crime.

    This episode started as an anthology. Three seemingly connected cases told together. Then I got into this case and realized, as usual, there was much more there than it seemed. Shellie Szabo was just a teenager when she was murdered. In her young years, she had been trafficked into sex work, had lost a child, and was struggling to get her life back on track. Her killer was caught, but was justice served? And did he learn his lesson?

    If, like us, you grew up in the late 70’s- 1990s, you were inundated with one new, and seemingly world-saving message. RECYCLE! Don’t just throw things into the landfill; recycle what you use, reduce your use and reuse what you have!

    One of today’s stories was a request sent in by a listener who was curious to know what happened to their childhood babysitter. The second case is making local headlines for offering a local council chair to a murderer. So let’s get into 2026 with the same damn stories, the same damn outrage and the same damn themes. Teenage girls, disposed of like trash, their killers usually facing the smallest of consequences.

  • Man In Blue Van Pt. 2

    Man In Blue Van Pt. 2
    Dec 9 2025

    Last week, I started breaking down the case of Warren Forrest. How it’s believed his first victim was Jamie Grissim, how Barbra’s body was found in the silo and how Norma and Suzanne survived similar attacks from a man in a blue van.

    With Suzanne’s attack being believed right away, there was a legitimate investigation taking place. Thanks to good police work that recognized the perpetrator might be someone with key access to the parks who drove said blue van, they were given the name Warren Forrest.

    Today, I’ll talk about who Warren Forrest was, who his victims are and share even more excruciatingly inept details that place blame for the deaths of at least two of the victims almost squarely on police. I mean, yeah the guy is a serial killer and it’s his actions, but he could have been stopped...Many times.
