Who killed Mildred Cotter? For decades, reclusive Mildred Cotter lived a quiet life in her Port Washington apartment in Long Island, New York. The widow of a homicide detective, she lived comfortably alone, no children and no close relatives or friends. Then, one morning her home-health aide discovered Mildred's apartment had been ransacked, and amid the chaos she discovered Mildred's battered and lifeless body. It was clear foul play was afoot.

But, the Port Washington Homicide unit had their work cut out for them. Who would want to kill this frail, lonely old lady, who seemingly had no enemies, but also no friends? Join us as we dive into this seldom talked about case of trust and betrayal, and discuss the tragic murder of Mildred Cotter, and the social issues surrounding vulnerable people.

In this episode of our Cryptid Crawl, The Spooky Darlings make a stop in Maine, where we go ‘upta camp’ to meet the Spectre Moose, a larger-than-life, ghostly white, seemingly bulletproof moose, spotted by many for the past hundred years. Next, we learn about the Waldoboro Wildman, a real 'corker' of a cryptid described as a small, bipedal humanoid covered in black fur, that made headlines in the 19th century. We finish with the terrifying story of the Palmyra Wolves, a group of creatures who gave one family a 'wicked crazy' night, fighting for their lives. Ayuh, these Maine cryptids are right-out-straight amazing!
