Your Ash-centric episode this week is about the murder of Lauren Giddings. Lauren was 27 years old and had just graduated law school when she was brutally murdered and dismembered by her neighbor, Stephen McDaniel. Stephen McDaniel had been stalking Lauren for quite some time, breaking into her house, moving things around and plotting her murder. There were a few suspects in the beginning but police were able to narrow it down to Stephen after his strange behaviour when he heard a body had been discovered. We’ll leave the rest of the details to the episode!

Hey weirdos! We figured we would grace your ear meat this week with a mashup of spooky roads and listener tales! Alaina tells us about two spooky roads located in Illinois: Bloody Gulch Road and The Devil's Backbone. Then we dive into a couple of Illinois themed listener tales. We’ve got a lady in red, who doesn’t love a game of tag and a camper who makes Wednesday Addams seem like a more desirable bunkmate, I mean wasn’t she anyway?

Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders Part 1
January 2, 2021
•88m
Alaina pulls at our heartstrings this week with part one of the Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders. In June of 1977, eight year old Lori Lee Farmer, nine year old Michelle Heather Guse and ten year old Doris Denise Milner headed off to Camp Scott for a two week girl scout experience. Unfortunately someone, or potentially multiple someones, had been lurking around the camp in the weeks leading up to night one. Whoever it was had more than sinister plans to kill the three girl scouts camping out in tent one. In Part One we’ll go over who each girl was, the night of the murders and we’ll end it on a pretty convincing suspect. Don’t bet too heavy on him though, in part two Alaina will bring some evidence to the table pointing away from who we thought was our lead suspect.
