EP 61 | The Many Mysteries Surrounding the Disappearance of Attiin Shaw, Washburn, Maine with Brandie of Evaporate The Missing
Today at 7:00 AM

For the record, her name is Attiin (pronounced AhTeen) Rachmawati Shaw.

This is a make good on our promise to cover Attiin's case after we first spoke about her at the live show on March 7 at Off Cabot in Beverly.  I didn't know much about her case but we are peeling that all back now. I will work on a follow up to this case as I gather more about this mysterious disappearance of a young mother of four.

In episode 61, we, Brandie from Evaporate the Missing, and me, navigate the c...

EP 59 | Stranger Than Fiction: The Truth About The Crimes of Daniel LaPlante, Townsend, Massachusetts, with author Joe Turner
02/23/2024

This is the follow-up to the last two episodes. When I say "stranger than fiction" I mean it's so weird that you cannot make this shit up, yet lots of info shared online is just that, made up.

He's the boy in the walls. That's part of the story. But what is the story? Like most cases I research for the show, it's never what it appears on the surface. There is always more to the story, more information to find, to dig into to tell the story properly. When I started to read about the Gustafson...


Replay | EP 46 with Julie Murray, sister of Maura Murray & Advocating for Humanity in the True Crime Narrative
02/09/2024

Today is the 20th anniversary of Maura Murray's disappearance. In July, I spoke with Julie Murray, Maura's sister and dedicated advocate for her sister and the Murray family. Think of Maura and the Murray family today.

It is recommended listening.

This is about Massachusetts and New England crime, regional history, about the people, places, and things that happen here.

Maura Murray is still missing. She was last seen on February 9, 2004 on a snowy back road i...

EP 58 | The Pepperell Prequel & The True Story of The Bowen Family Nightmare, Pepperell, Massachusetts
02/07/2024

This is a bizarre case, not only for what happened to a Massachusetts family in the privacy of their home, but also how their story was reshaped and retold by urban legend and lore.

This is the prequel: The Gustafson family story (EP 57) is far less known than that of the person responsible. That's part of the problem. Before Daniel LaPlante, a disturbed kid from Townsend, went on the run and was caught after a 24 hour manhunt, he was already the stuff of legend, "the boy in the wall." That is what the quiet drone of the...


EP 57 | Gustafson Family & the Unsolved Mysteries of Judith Vieweg and Deborah Quimby, Townsend, Massachusetts

Crime of the Truest Kind is about New England crime stories and history. The Things that happen here. Crime is history and sometimes history is crime.

Episode 57📍Townsend, Massachusetts |

Through these narratives, we honor victims, remind one another of our vulnerability, our humanity, and our nee...
