Texas 10-31: A Texas True Crime Podcast

Long time no see!

We have returned (probably not for long, sorry not sorry) with a brand new episode!

First, we begin with our “Summer of Growth” and give you a little recap of what we’ve been up to for the last 4 months.

Cassie then tells us the about the murder of 2 year old Grace Ford in Plano. The morning that Mitch Ford breaks off his engagement to Melinda Muniz... let's just say she doesn't take it well. After a trip to the Dollar Store and 500 lies later, police are left wondering what really happened to baby Grace?

Hannah wraps up the episode with the long awaited and not completely researched case of Melanie Goodwin. It's 2007 and everyone is watching LAGUNA BEACH or playing HALO3!! Young college student, Melanie, stops to grab some snacks for her boyfriend, but is found the next morning raped, murdered, and also charred from being lit on fire. Video footage comes to the rescue and helps bring her killer(s) to justice.

Kane disconnected Cassie's microphone at the very end..... big surprise

Happy Halloween!!

So our Christmas episode is a bit late this year even though we recorded a week prior to the holiday....what's new.

We have a couple of weird ones this week! Hannah begins the episode with the longest case in the history of this podcast (hence why her notes weren't fully finished) and discusses the unsolved Christmas Eve murder of Cheryl Springfield in Ft. Worth.

Cassie then closes out the episode with the deaths of three young girls possibly at the hands of their father, Cameron Willingham, in Corsicana. The Innocence Project steps in and arson investigators don't make sense.

Enjoy the last episode of 2018 that's full of tangents and stupidity. Happy Halloween!

Hey everyone welcome to episode 42! This week we begin by gushing over Vanderpump Rules and yelling at our lovely, short lived, listener "Amy".

Cassie starts out the episode with the listener suggested case of Lucky Ward. She talks about a homeless man who prowled the Midtown and Montrose areas of Houston (for most likely decades) robbing and murdering African American women. With no set date, his trial is almost 10 years in the making, and there could be countless other victims police have still yet to discover.

Hannah finishes the episode out with the murder of Cedric Owens in Dallas. What happens when you mix alcohol, baking soda, PCP, and a long history of violent behavior due to sexual assault trauma?? Obviously a brutal stabbing and genital removal....

Happy Halloween!

Hey guys, we are back with a new addition to our Survivor Story series, long time no see!

In this episode Hannah covers the rape and attempted murder of Bridget Kelly out in Killeen, Texas. Bridget's story is truly one of horrific trauma that would set anyone back in their life. However, she overcomes her attack, makes a difference in the rape culture/community, and ends up finding love all along the way.

Hannah won't stop saying "at this point" throughout the episode (sorry in advance) and Kane makes a distant audible appearance. Enjoy!

HAIL SATAN Y’ALL, it’s our Halloween episode!

We begin episode 49 with an update and recap regarding the case of Melissa Trotter. (Episode 46 might make a little more sense now)

Hannah then covers the 2014 case of Kimberly Hill; a victim of parricide down in Corpus Christi. This case truly brings the traditional horror elements of Halloween to the party: hammers, sewage, necrophilia, suicide notes, and bestiality.... just to name a few. It begs the question, “How well do you really know your own family members?”

Cassie wraps up the episode with an infamous cold case that just recently made headlines. For 40 years the victim was only known by an article of clothing, but decades of police work, and possibly even Henry Lee Lucas, kept her case in the spotlight. DNA ultimately answered the question of her identity, but will her rapist and murderer ever be known?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
