Murdertown

Gary Pascal and Shannon Noll

Murdertown is a cold case investigation podcast hosted by Gary Pascal and Shannon Noll, two DePaul-trained actors and world-trained journalists. They travel to Chatapicnic, Wisconsin to investigate the state's most notorious unsolved murder: Catskill "Bones" McGillivray, the jovial and beloved mayor of neighboring Briggsville. But Gary and Shannon soon discover that the mystery of Chatapicnic runs much deeper than one man's death - because a bunch of other people are getting murdered all the time.

This week, your hosts conclude their investigation by speaking with Gary, a troubled cartoonist for the local Chatapicnic Quick Pick and Picayune.

Murdertown - Episode 8: Futility
play

08/15/18 • 15 min

As Gary and Shannon close in on McGillivray's killer, they are thrown a curveball that threatens to detail the entire investigation. Cab they re-focus on a suspect with a near-homonym first name?

This week, your hosts pay visit to an agent of the capitalist machine, a personal banker named Gary Portugal. He may provide a valuable silver lining for an investigation nearing it's conclusion.

Murdertown - Episode 9: Mortuary
play

08/29/18 • 12 min

It's two months into the investigation, and the rich tapestry of insights that Gary and Shannon once expected is instead looking ragged, threadbare, and neglectfully skidmarked. But will a chance encounter finally connect some stray dots?

This week, your hosts pay visit to the proprietor of a local morgue/beauty salon, a woman who may just hold the clues that have frolicked tantalizingly just out of reach.
