Welcome back, friends! This week I tell Emily about yet another unsolved case - that of Hisashi Fujimura. This case takes place in 1931, several hundred miles off the coast of the eastern United States, between New York and Nova Scotia. Was it an act of malice? An accident? A case of wanting to start anew? Join us as we discuss the possible outcomes and what may have actually happened.

Episode 10 - Jesse Pomeroy

13 Recommendations

Wow, we made it to episode 10! To capture this awesome milestone join me as I tell Emily all about Boston's boy torturer and killer, Jesse Pomeroy. Jesse's rein of terror took place in the 1870s, so I am taking you way back. Emily also shares with me a mocktail she found on TikTok (@themindfulmocktail) called a Simple Sunrise Mocktail. It is a super simple AF version of the classic tequila sunrise - just swap out the tequila with your zero proof tequila of choice. Ritual makes a pretty good tequila alternative, and there are several others out there on the market now including Spiritless, Free Spirits, and Sobrii. I have not personally tried these so cannot vouch for their flavor palette, but they are on my list to try :-)

Episode 12 - Hidden Skeletons: The Curious Case of Eugene Butler

8 Recommendations

Hold on to your butts, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride! Emily shared this case with me and it is bonkers. Eugene Butler lived a quiet and unassuming life in the late 19th and early 20th century in Niagara, ND, with the occasional night ride across the countryside. He’d later be committed but perhaps not for the reasons you may think based on the episode title. Join us as we talk a little bit about what Eugene may or may not have done.

Finally, this week's mocktail is Katie's take on the classic Irish Coffee cocktail. She was inspired by Lisa-Marie's podcast, Coffee & Crime! Traditionally made using strong black coffee and Irish whiskey, we'll simply sub for a whiskey alternative - whatever your favorite it.
ingredients
5-6oz brewed coffee; can be hot or iced
1.5oz whiskey alternative of your choice
sweetener of choice, to taste
frothed cream
1. Pour the brewed coffee into your favorite mug. Add in sweetener of your choosing. If using cold brew I would recommend using a simple syrup so it all mixes well.
2. Add in the whiskey alternative and give everything a stir.
3. Top with the frothed/whipped cream; to get that classic look, pour over the back of a spoon into the mug. Enjoy! Cheers :-)
