    S4 Ep43: How Two Murders Became Three: The Story of George Stinney Jr.
    Jan 27 2025
    In 1944, the brutal slayings of two young girls made plenty of headlines in Alcolu, South Carolina. The trial of their suspected killer garnered far less attention -- even when he was convicted and violently executed in the electric chair. That's because few people had much sympathy for the boy who supposedly confessed to the crime. Nearly a century later, however, and 14-year-old George Stinney Jr. is not only recognized as the youngest person legally executed in America in the 20th century, but he's also largely recognized as being wrongfully convicted.

    S4 Ep42: Aberfan's Lost Generation
    Jan 20 2025
    Students at Pantglas Junior School had just settled in at their desks the morning of Oct. 21, 1966, when an avalanche of slurry swept through the building, trapping hundreds of children and teachers and wiping out nearby homes and businesses. Known as the Aberfan Disaster, the collapse of a colliery spoil tip ultimately killed 116 children and 28 adults. While the official cause was weeks of heavy rain, what happened was no mere act of God.

    S4 Ep40: The Murder That Scandalized Harvard
    Jan 6 2025
    On Thanksgiving week in 1849, Boston doctor and Harvard graduate George Parkman went for a walk and never returned home. The last place he'd been spotted was near the college's medical school, where he'd stopped for a meeting with Harvard chemistry professor John White Webster. The case that unfolded not only made international headlines but it threatened the reputation of America's oldest university.

  • Introducing The In Between Podcast

    Introducing The In Between Podcast
    Dec 30 2024
    Host Mel Barrett investigates a famous murder case that has split the community in her home state of New Hampshire right down the middle for thirty-four years. It’s a closed case, but based on what Mel uncovers this season in old police files (including surreptitiously recorded wiretaps), never before heard interviews, and a bombshell post trial interview with a juror that’s been hidden away, Mel is about to blow the case wide open.

    On this season of The In Between Podcast, the Accomplice to Murder Trial of Pamela Smart goes under the microscope and Mel finds new evidence that may lead to a new trial.

    Episodes air on Tuesdays starting December 24th wherever you get your podcasts, or binge all the episodes on the Grab Bag Collab Patreon page.

  • Daniel Sickles: Temporarily Insane?

    Daniel Sickles: Temporarily Insane?
    Dec 23 2024
    Crimes of the Centuries presents one of Amber's favorite episodes from Season One. Happy holidays everyone!

    In 1859, two of Washington, D.C.'s highest-profile men were in love with the same woman -- and that love triangle would lead to the broad-daylight shooting of one of them just a stone's throw from the White House. The victim had been the first-born son of Francis Scott Key, author of the lyrics to America's national anthem. And his killer would be the first in the country to argue a defense of temporary insanity.

  • S4 Ep39 Part 2: Claus von Bülow's Two Trials of the Century

    S4 Ep39 Part 2: Claus von Bülow's Two Trials of the Century
    Dec 17 2024
    We are bringing you part two of the "Sunny" von Bülow story as a Bonus episode!

    When heiress and socialite Martha "Sunny" von Bülow was found unresponsive on the bathroom floor, her husband seemed awfully quick to pull the plug when doctors declared her comatose. Suspicions only grew when investigators discovered that Claus von Bülow had a mistress who'd given him an ultimatum to leave Sunny or else. But what seemed at first glance as an open-and-shut case turned out to be anything but.

    S4 Ep39: The Decades-Long Death of "Sunny" von Bülow
    Dec 16 2024
    To outsiders, Claus and Martha "Sunny" von Bülow seemed an idyllic couple on the upper echelons of high society, but those who knew them best were growing increasingly concerned in the late 1970s when Sunny began having health scares that doctors couldn't figure out. Claus said his wife was a depressed alcoholic, but Sunny's children and maid weren't so sure. Things took a tragic turn after Christmas of 1980, captivating the country and beyond with one of the highest-profile cases of the 20th century.
