  • 386: America's Nazi POW Murders w/ William Geroux
    Apr 18 2025
    The American government was faced with an unprecedented challenge: where to house the nearly 400,000 German prisoners of war plucked from the battlefield and shipped across the Atlantic. On orders from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Department of War hastily built hundreds of POW camps in the United States. Today, traces of those camps—which once dotted the landscape from Maine to California—have all but vanished. Forgotten, too, is the grisly series of killings that took place within them: Nazi power games playing out in the heart of the United States. My guest today is William Geroux, a World War II expert and author of "The Fifteen: Murder, Retribution, and the Forgotten Story of Nazi POWs in America". He discusses the origins of the German prisoner-of-war camps, the daily lives of the men held there, and the deep divisions between hardline Nazis and less political prisoners—tensions that ultimately led to a series of murders and the prosecution of fifteen POWs.

  • 385: The 1870 Murder of A.P. Crittenden w/ Gary Krist
    Apr 13 2025
    Shortly before dusk on November 3, 1870, just as the ferryboat El Capitan was pulling away from its slip into San Francisco Bay, a woman clad in black emerged from the shadows and strode across the crowded deck. Reaching under her veil, she drew a small pistol and aimed it directly at a well-dressed man sitting quietly with his wife and children. The woman fired a single bullet into his chest. “I did it and I don’t deny it,” she said when arrested shortly thereafter. “He ruined both myself and my daughter.” This week’s guest is acclaimed author Gary Krist. In his latest book, "Trespassers at the Golden Gate: A True Account of Love, Murder, and Madness in Gilded-Age San Francisco", Krist delves into the gripping true story of attorney A.P. Crittenden and his long-time mistress, Laura Fair. Their seven-year affair came to a tragic and scandalous end with a very public murder and a pair of sensational trials.

  • 384: The 1943 Murders of Dr. Roy & Mae Hunt w/ Christena Stephens
    Apr 6 2025
    On a nearly moonless night in October 1943, a single gunshot rang out in Littlefield, Texas. A prominent Texas doctor and his wife were found bound, shot, beaten, and murdered. The only witness: their five-year-old daughter, who was bound to silence and refused to speak about what happened for 70 years. Christena Stephens is my guest, and her book is called "Bound in Silence: An Unsolved Murder in a Small Texas Town". She shares details about the horrific case and talks about her experience interviewing the slain couple's daughter, Jo Ann. A summary of the case written by the author for the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal: https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/lifestyle/columns/2017/12/01/chronicles-tangled-web-west-texas-murders/14825468007/ The author's website: https://www.christena.net/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Intriguing!!

This podcast is really intriguing! The book authors have done the research and writing to bring these stories to light while Erik asks compelling questions that we all wish we could ask if we had the opportunity. Everyone's story is important and this podcast makes that a central focus.

The best podcasts I’ve ever listened to

Hands down, this is my favorite podcaster. No talking about dogs, beer or anything frivolous. Just getting down to business with experts and authors who have spent vasts amounts of time researching historic crimes.

The host is quite modest. You can tell that he occasionally has better recall of certain facts than the person he is interviewing, yet he never interrupts or draws attention to his knowledge. Bravo! And no, I’m not his mother!😊

America's Forgotten Crimes

This is an absolutely fabulous example of the genre, particularly for those of us who have heard the same 2 dozen crimes rehashed again and again. Eric never fails to present a crime story that has either been almost totally forgotten or never before looked at from a different angle. Completely binge-worthy.
