25 JUN 2024 · Can you imagine being a high school sports star with a bright future, only to find yourself orchestrating a notorious crime years later? Get ready to be captivated by the rollercoaster life of Anthony Curcio, whose journey from promising athlete to devil-may-care criminal defies belief. You'll be gripping your seats as we tell the dramatic story of Anthony Curcio whose life took an unexpectedly wild turn after a devastating sportsing injury (apparently contact sports are dangerous) and subsequent battle with addiction (though not quite as potentially deadly as opiates).  The stakes rise dramatically as we recount Anthony's meticulously planned caper, a plot so outrageous, and at times comical, it rivals Hollywood's best heist films. Dressed as a landscaper and using Craigslist decoys, Anthony executed an audacious robbery involving pepper spray and an aquatic getaway that feels bizarrely cinematic - without ever setting foot in a bank. What can we say? The man had a flair for the dramatic. Maybe that explains his downfall. Someone caught him, in flagrante delicto, before his big bank day and that singular tip from a surprising source played a critical role in his undoing. When the investigation led detectives to his wife, Emily, his double life of lavish spending and debauchery-fueled stints in Vegas was revealed and he had nowhere to run.  Finally, we navigate the chaotic aftermath following the heist, and it got chaotic quick - just minutes after the heist. It’s a story filled with comical mishaps and nearly unbelievable getaways. From a stolen inner tube to DNA evidence from a spit cup, the story is both suspenseful and at times humorously bizarre, sometimes a little gross. We wrap up with a poignant reminder of the consequences of crime and addiction, and of course, a whimsical look at the quirky connection between Anthony and none other than his namesake, DB Cooper. This episode promises a thrilling blend of drama, humor, and maybe even a touch of nostalgia.

4 JUN 2024 · What really happened to Jerry Stomps on the fateful day of his disappearance near Oxbow Park? Join us as we explore the baffling true crime story of Jerry and Hazelynn Stomps. The story begins with the harrowing discovery of an injured Hazelynn Stomps near the Gordon Creek Bridge in the rural community of Corbett, Oregon. For good Samaritans Gerald Ford and James Pogue, that startling discovery sets off a surprising chain of events revealing just how quickly a love story can turn into tragedy.  We’ll put together the puzzling pieces of the unsettling case beginning with a bizarre incident involving Jerry and Lynn at a local park. Their meeting with a potential buyer for their fishing boat takes a dark turn when an unknown man attacks them, leaving Lynn in the hospital severely injured, and Jerry missing. As we piece together the events, Lynn provides crucial details about their meeting with a man named Dave, raising questions about the true motives behind this violent encounter and the confusion that ensues. Troubling clues are unearthed as we continue to examine the investigation, following the violent attack that Lynn described. For one, Lynn's suspicious behavior starts raising eyebrows as the search and rescue efforts prove fruitless. We’ll discuss this and other aspects of the investigation leading us to the discovery of vital evidence including a concealed gun in, of all things, a fanny pack found in the couple’s home. With mitochondrial DNA evidence linking the human remains found on their property (*Spoiler Alert!*) to Jerry, a troubling suspicion becomes harsh reality for the couple’s family & friends. Maybe the Stomps’ marriage wasn’t exactly a story book romance, after all. Finally, we’ll reveal the prosecution’s theory about Lynn's ill-fated attempt to stage her husband's “accidental” death, as well as reflect on her conviction, and the massive financial fallout for their family.

21 MAY 2024 · In Part 2 we’re diving back into the harrowing tale of Steve Titus, a man wrongfully convicted of first-degree rape in Washington State. Following his arrest, he was taken aback to realize that the entire system seemed determined to see him imprisoned despite his pleas of innocence. It flew in the face of what many who are unacquainted assume about the criminal justice system. No system can be perfect, but as an innocent man, he felt certain that of his vindication in the ultimate fight for truth and justice. Despite initially favoring acquittal, once deliberation came to a close, the jury ultimately delivered a guilty verdict. We’ll explore the faulty identification process – how a faulty photo lineup and deeply flawed identification led to Steve's conviction. We’ll also discuss the relentless efforts by award-winning investigative journalist Paul Henderson, and new defense attorney Jeff Jones to uncover the truth. Their committed efforts would reveal significant flaws in the prosecution's case, casting doubt on the integrity of the police investigation led by Detective Ron Parker. Discover the shocking inconsistencies in the evidence and the dubious actions of Detective Ron Parker that do far more than simply cast doubt on Titus’s guilt. Now that’s dedication! Without which – it’s very possible that the eventual discovery of the real perpetrator, Edward Lee King, may never have materialized. This episode unpacks some of the systemic failures of the justice system. Our discussion attempts to center the toll exacted on not only Steve Titus – but also his loved ones. The consequences, both emotional and financial, were severe and deeply troubling, as was, sadly, the eventual vindication that came too late for a man who had already lost so much. Join us we unravel the intricate details of this case, highlighting the critical role that ethical professionals working within the law enforcement and journalistic fields can play in our communities, and the justice system. Don't miss this compelling episode jam-packed with Paul Henderson’s investigative efforts and discoveries, and a cursory glance at the real perpetrator, Edward Lee King, along with his connection to similar crimes. https://www.rainydayrabbitholes.com/ https://www.pnwhauntsandhomicides.com/https://linktr.ee/pnwhauntsandhomicides If you have any true crime, paranormal, or witchy stories you'd like to share with us & possibly have them read (out loud) on an episode, email us at https://gmail.com/ or use this https://forms.gle/aN5hbD8KnbfcccJNA.

7 MAY 2024 · In this episode, we (sand)worm into the fascinating world of https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094721/ the iconic 1988 film that turned the haunted house trope on its head. Join us as we explore the origins, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094721/trivia/, and lasting impact of this darkly comedic masterpiece. "Beetlejuice" emerged as a reverse narrative to the popular horror film "Poltergeist," where instead of a ghostly entity terrorizing a family, it's the human family causing chaos among the deceased. The movie, directed by Tim Burton and featuring Michael Keaton's memorable performance as the mischievous Betelgeuse, became a cult classic and a box office success. (Sucks Yes!) We delve into the film's production and fun facts, including Tim Burton's initial struggles to convince the cast to embrace the quirky and bizarre nature of the story. Did you know that the title character, despite his lasting impact, has only about 14.5 minutes of screen time? From the film's unique visual style inspired by B movie special effects, "Beetlejuice" remains a timeless blend of horror, comedy, and "dirty old man". We also discuss the proposed sequel, https://screenrant.com/beetlejuice-2-sequel-unmade-movie-explained/ which never materialized but had fans buzzing with curiosity. Join us as we unravel the mysteries, fun facts, and enduring legacy of "Beetlejuice," a film that continues to enchant audiences across generations. https://www.livelaughlarceny.com/about https://www.pnwhauntsandhomicides.com/https://linktr.ee/pnwhauntsandhomicides If you have any true crime, paranormal, or witchy stories you'd like to share with us & possibly have them read (out loud) on an episode, email us at https://gmail.com or use this https://forms.gle/aN5hbD8KnbfcccJNA.
