Please join us as we talk true crime in the most normal place in the world -over the fence......to be specific over our backyard fence. We have been inspired to create this podcast to share our mutual fascination with all things true crime, ghostly, and just creepy in general.
Kendrick Johnson attended his first three periods of high school in Valdosta, GA on January 10, 2013. However, he would not make it through that day alive, yet he never left the grounds of his high school. He was found almost 24 hours later, in one of the gyms. His body was upside down in a rolled up wrestling mat that was standing up vertically. After a decade of investigation, 2 exhumations, 3 autopsies and the case being closed and then reopened again, Kendrick's cause of death has still been ruled accidental. Kendrick's family continues to fight for the truth and for someone to be held responsible for the death of their son because the circumstances around his death are far too suspicious and the investigation has had way too many inconsistencies to be ignored.
A young man went to school and was not safe, period. He went to school and died. This is never ok under any circumstances, accident or no accident.
Join us as we discuss the tragic death of a young man taken from this earth way too soon and please watch the documentary that Molly references - Finding Kendrick Johnson by Jason Pollock.

13 Lives in 12 Minutes - The Tragedy on River Road
On September 6, 1949, in just 12 minutes, 13 lives were lost to a mass shooter on River Road in Camden, NJ. Unlike today, mass shootings were not a regular event that was normalized on the news. In a post World War II era, automatic guns were relatively new and held mostly for military use, not often seen in public. However, on this day, the mundane activities of a Tuesday morning were interrupted by gun fire as a World War II veteran walked down the street that he lived on and fired upon his own neighbors' homes and businesses.
This case has been coined as America's first mass shooting, and the shooter, as the first "lone wolf"
type shooter.
These terms may be common today, but this type of event was unprecendented at the time. However it will go to show that more than 70 years later, our country has not made much progress in our prevention of these types of such occurrences and the devastation that it brings to not only the victims, but families of the victims, the survivors and the communities at large.
