In July of 1972, 17-year-old Dolores Della Penna stepped off a Philadelphia trolley just one mile from home—and vanished. Eleven days later, her dismembered body was found scattered across the remote pine forests of New Jersey. Her head was never recovered.

What followed was a decades-long investigation involving drug dealers, biker gangs, and secret informants. Witnesses claimed to know what happened—some even described the brutal killing in chilling detail. And yet, no one was ever charged.

In this episode of Stuttering in Silence, Matt and Gavin dive deep into one of Pennsylvania’s most haunting cold cases. Who really killed Dolores? Why was she targeted? And why, after more than 50 years, does justice still feel so far away?

We tell the story like a true-crime novel—layer by layer—with hard facts, disturbing details, and the devastating silence that still surrounds this case today.

A True Story of Custody, Conspiracy, and Cold-Blooded Murder in Florida

In this episode of Stuttering in Silence, Matt and Gavin descend into the scorching canyons of Nevada to uncover the legend of Queho — a mysterious, one-footed Native American outlaw labeled as Nevada’s first mass murderer. Feared for decades, blamed for every unexplained death from the Colorado River to Searchlight, Queho became the ultimate boogeyman of the desert.

But was he truly a cold-blooded killer, or a scapegoat shaped by racism, fear, and myth? And what happened after he disappeared into the Mojave’s shadows—only to be discovered decades later as a mummified corpse surrounded by dynamite, stolen weapons, and a deputy’s badge?

This chilling story only gets stranger: his remains were paraded through Las Vegas, put on display in a replica cave, and literally celebrated in a parade. In this episode, we tell the full tale of a man twisted by legend, whose ghost still haunts both the land—and history itself.
