  • Wedding Dress For Sale: The Unsolved Murder of Patricia "Denise" Palmer
    Dec 8 2025
    On a Tuesday morning in late November of 1981, a newlywed met up with a man she thought was purchasing her wedding dress from her. She was scraping together any cash she could for a down payment on a house. Little did she know, the man had no intention of buying her dress. Her murder has stuck with the Tulsa community for over four decades, but with DNA advancements there is still hope.

  • "If It Is A Joke It Is A Very Poor One" : The Unsolved Murders of Andrew and Patricia Puskas
    Dec 1 2025
    “I don’t know if it is a joke or not. The timer is not ticking or anything, but if it is a joke, it is a very poor one. I would like someone to come over and look at it please.” Those were some of the last words Andrew Puskas ever spoke to a Middlesex, New Jersey police officer. Moments later, his home exploded, killing both Andrew and his wife and stunning an entire community.

    The Puskas family was quiet. Middle class. Ordinary in all the ways that usually keep people safe. They had no known enemies, no ongoing disputes, nothing that would make them a target. So why did someone leave a bomb on their porch that morning, wrapped and addressed to Andrew? And who was behind it?

    For more than 40 years investigators have searched for those answers. Today we are revisiting one of Central New Jersey’s most baffling unsolved cases, walking through the timeline, the theories, and the haunting questions that still linger in the hope that someone holding a missing piece finally comes forward.

  • Murder at Cloverleaf Mall: The Unsolved Double Homicide of Charlita Singleton and Cheryl Edwards
    Nov 24 2025
    In November of 1996, two co-workers are closing up their retail store in large mall outside of Richmond, Virginia. Their closing routine is like clockwork so when they don’t return to their homes, alarm bells went off. The next morning would reveal a horrific scene inside the mall. How could two women be brutally murdered inside a popular mall with security nearby? Nearly thirty years later, this case still baffles authorities and police and families are hoping for a break in the case.

    Nov 18 2025
    In Part 2, we pick back up on what happens after John Rodney McRae is released from prison. In this episode, we leave off after discussing Kip Hess's disappearance and the early conviction of McRae in Joey Housey's murder. After his sentence is commuted, McRae relocates to Florida and other boys begin disappearing. While these cases may appear solved on the surface, the boys have never been located and its believed that there are many more victims out there that have not been identified or tied to McRae. Info? Michigan Author Christie Lypka is writing a book with the goal of bringing awareness to the other cases and trying to bring the Florida boys home. Please contact her directly at (734) 645-0973 with info.

  • Prime and Only Suspect Part 1 : The Unsolved Disappearances of Kip Hess, Keith Fleming, and Charles Collingwood
    Nov 17 2025
    When a young teen vanishes on his way to school, a single note left behind pushes police toward the idea that he was a runaway. But the people who knew him best never believed that. As the days stretched on, that theory began to crumble and a prime suspect emerged. On this podcast, I never center the perpetrator, and that remains true here. But to show just how unsafe the so-called simpler times could be, today I am walking you through a pattern of violence and how one man’s repeated behavior, combined with a weak response from the systems meant to protect children, allowed him to continue harming young boys and likely take multiple lives.This week I’m doing something a bit different. Because the crime spree here stretches over decades and involves so many people, this episode will focus first on the disappearance of a boy named Kipling, how a suspect emerged, and then backtrack to the earliest known crime that suspect committed. The following day, Part 2 will be released which will focus on the crimes that occurred after the suspect’s release from prison. The cases featured in part 2 will largely be that of teen Keith Flemming and young adult Charles Collingwood, but Kipling’s story will continue to be woven in as well. Police finally close in on the suspect, but another boy will go missing first. While these two episodes do have a highly probably suspect and may appear as solved, Kipling, Keith, Charles and a couple of other boys I’ll get into are still missing and their families still don’t have answers.Case suggestions: simplertimecrimepod@gmail.comIG: @simplertimecrimepodYoutube: https://youtube.com/@simplertimecrimepod?si=OlCWQ2Ky8qFaof02TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@simplertimecrimep?_t=8s31x9iCrNv&_r=1Music By Universfield: https://pixabay.com/music/mystery-dramatic-atmosphere-with-piano-and-violin-143149/Sources:https://web.archive.org/web/20211203172703/https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-1998-12-22-9812220060-story.htmlhttps://www.nevadaappeal.com/news/2001/dec/19/man-suspected-of-lewdness-after-spending-night-wit/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoVYQpb3Qr4https://charleyproject.org/case/charles-edward-collingwoodhttps://charleyproject.org/case/keith-dean-fleminghttps://charleyproject.org/case/kipling-randolph-hess-iiihttps://charleyproject.org/case/john-clifton-ballengerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rodney_McRaehttps://www.clarecountycleaver.net/stories/mcrea-case-investigated-by-michigan-author-christie-lypka,137983https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/109831148/randy_ray-lauferhttps://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-housey-initial-arti/185004393/https://www.newspapers.com/article/lansing-state-journal-widespread-hunt/185004449/https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-drag-canal/185013592/https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-two-sightings/185013810/https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-no-body-found-in-cana/185014156/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-kalamazoo-gazette-headlamp-found/185015077/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-ann-arbor-news-double-reward/185015364/https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-fbi-pulled-in/185015661/https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-joeys-body-found-in/185015765/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-ann-arbor-news-police-search-for-boy/185023561/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-bay-city-times-search-widens/185023710/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-flint-journal-boys-funeral-held-toda/185023815/https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-bb-gun-trail-clue/185023968/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-flint-journal-walter-mcphee/185024201/https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-first-mention-of-15-y/185024514/https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-double-life-confessi/185025041/https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-confession-page-2/185025338/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-kalamazoo-gazette-tries-walking-back/185025857/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-kalamazoo-gazette-tries-walking-back/185025857/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-bay-city-times-feb-20th-found-guilty/185026127/https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-disgusted-at-life-ter/185029850/https://www.newspapers.com/article/florida-today-have-you-seen-keith/185038585/https://www.newspapers.com/article/florida-today-missing-keith/185041265/https://www.newspapers.com/article/florida-today-1988-part-2/185041421/https://www.newspapers.com/article/florida-today-keiths-40th/185041946/https://www.newspapers.com/article/florida-today-new-leads-in-cold-cases/185042208/https://www.newspapers.com/article/florida-today-pain-remains/185042265/https://www.newspapers.com/article/florida-today-attempt-of-ties-to-mcrae/185044677/https://www.newspapers.com/article/florida-today-keith-decades-later-pain/185044837/https://www.newspapers.com/article/florida-today-killers-secrets-taken-to-t/...

  • The Motorcycle Gang: The Unsolved Murder of the Deal Family
    Nov 9 2025
    A family of three is brutally murdered in their rural New Jersey home in 1978. Police dismissed early rumors of connections to a violent motorcycle gang, but as the years went on they began to lean into that theory more, especially after a chillingly similar crime 3.5 years later. While many accept this theory, some say the killings feel more personal and fall outside of the way outlaw motorcycle gangs operate. Despite extensive theories and speculation, the triple homicide remains unresolved nearly fifty years later, with surviving family members continuing to seek answers that may provide closure.

  • Her Last Customer: The Unsolved Murder of Gale Green
    Nov 3 2025
    In 1987, the owner of a small lingerie shop was closing up for the night, looking forward to a busy evening of plans ahead. Plans she would never make it to.
    When her brother came by later, he found her body inside the store. Investigators believe she was ambushed by someone pretending to be a customer, trapped in her own business. She fought hard for her life and injured her attacker in the process.
    Now, thirty-eight years later, her murder remains unsolved. But with the amount of physical evidence collected, this may be one of the most solvable cases I’ve ever covered. A case that could finally see justice with the right tip. Today, I’ll walk you through Gale’s story and the hidden dangers faced by retail workers like her.

  • Someone She Trusted: The Unsolved Murder of Jessie Marie Twilight Song Crooks
    Oct 27 2025
    It’s late August of 2001, and a bubbly teenager from a tiny town just outside Bowling Green, Kentucky, answers a phone call on her family’s landline. Everything that happens after that call becomes a mystery. No one knows who was on the other end, but it’s believed she slipped out of her house that night to meet the caller and never came back.

    Weeks later, her body was found the day before a national tragedy, and her case faded from the headlines almost instantly. The lack of media attention is just one of the many barriers this investigation has faced. With law enforcement keeping even basic details like her cause of death under wraps, there’s only so much the public knows. But my hope today is to walk you through what we do know and maybe spark the conscience of someone who holds the missing pieces. Because small towns can’t keep a secret forever.

    TIPS: Warren County Sheriff's Office 270-842-1633.
